OET interlinear MARK 14:20

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

δὲ

and

Here, the word But introduces what Jesus said in contrast to what the disciples were asking. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces this kind of contrast, or you could leave But untranslated. Alternate translation: “However,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

τῶν δώδεκα

˱of˲_the twelve_‹it_is›

See how you translated the phrase the Twelve in 3:16. Alternate translation: “of the 12 apostles” or “of the 12 men whom I have chosen to be apostles”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

ὁ ἐμβαπτόμενος μετ’ ἐμοῦ εἰς τὸ τρύβλιον

he the_‹one› dipping_in with me in the bowl

Here Jesus describes one specific way of eating food in his culture to refer to eating in general. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the one taking food from the same plate with me” or “the one participating in this meal with me”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / distinguish

ὁ ἐμβαπτόμενος

he the_‹one› dipping_in

Here Jesus is further describing the one of the Twelve who will hand him over. He is not identifying which one of the Twelve it will be. Be sure that this distinction is clear in your translation. Alternate translation: “one of you who are dipping”
