OET interlinear MARK 15:47

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-time-simultaneous

δὲ

and

Here, the word Now introduces something that was happening at the same time as what Mark narrated in the previous verse (Joseph burying Jesus’ body). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a simultaneous action, or you could leave Now untranslated. Alternate translation: “Meanwhile,” or “While Joseph was doing those things,”

Note 2 topic: translate-names

Μαρία ἡ Ἰωσῆτος

Mary the Mary the_‹mother› (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἡ δὲ Μαρία ἡ Μαγδαληνὴ καὶ Μαρία ἡ Ἰωσῆ ἐθεώρουν ποῦ τέθειται)

The word Mary is the name of a woman, the same woman whom Mark referred to in 15:40. This Mary was not Mary Magdalene nor Mary the mother of Jesus. Mark identifies her instead as the mother of Joses.

Note 3 topic: translate-names

Ἰωσῆτος

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἡ δὲ Μαρία ἡ Μαγδαληνὴ καὶ Μαρία ἡ Ἰωσῆ ἐθεώρουν ποῦ τέθειται)

The word Joses is also the name of a man, the same man whom Mark referred to in 15:40. This Joses is not Jesus’ brother.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

τέθειται

˱he˲_/has_been/_laid

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who did the action, it is clear from the context that it was Joseph of Arimathea. Alternate translation: “Joseph of Arimathea had put him”
