OET interlinear MARK 1:14

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-newevent

δὲ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ μετὰ τὸ παραδοθῆναι τὸν Ἰωάννην ἦλθεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἰς τὴν Γαλιλαίαν κηρύσσων τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τοῦ Θεοῦ)

Here, the word But introduces the next major event in the story. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next event, or you could leave But untranslated. Alternate translation: “Then,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

μετὰ & τὸ παραδοθῆναι τὸν Ἰωάννην

after & ¬which /to_be/_given_over ¬the John

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 (see 6:17–29) that it was the soldiers of King Herod Antipas, the ruler of Galilee. Alternate translation: “after soldiers handed John over to the authorities” or “after the king of Galilee arrested John”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἦλθεν & εἰς τὴν Γαλιλαίαν

came & into ¬the Galilee

Here Mark implies that Jesus was going back to Galilee, since he had originally come from there to meet John (see 1:9). If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “came to Galilee again” or “returned to Galilee”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / go

ἦλθεν

came

In a context such as this, your language might say “went” instead of came. Alternate translation: “went”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τοῦ Θεοῦ

¬which the gospel ¬the ˱of˲_God

Here, Mark is using the possessive form to describe a gospel that relates to God. More specifically, the gospel could: (1) come from God. Alternate translation: “the gospel that came from God” (2) be about God. Alternate translation: “the gospel about God”
