OET-LV But some of_the scribes were there, sitting and reasoning in the hearts of_them,

OET (OET-RV) But some of the religious teachers were sitting there, thinking to themselves,

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 2:1–12: Jesus healed a paralyzed man and forgave his sins

In this section, some people brought a paralyzed man to Jesus. They hoped that Jesus would heal him. First, Jesus told the man that his sins were forgiven. Then Jesus proved that God had given him authority to both heal and forgive sins by healing the paralyzed man.

When Jesus said, “your sins,” he was referring to the sins that the man had done in his life. He was not implying that the man had offended him personally. The Jews thought that only God could forgive all of the sins that a person had done. They were offended that Jesus also claimed to have that authority.

You should translate this section before you decide on a heading for it.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

Jesus showed that he has authority to forgive people’s sins

Jesus healed a paralyzed man

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 9:1–8 and Luke 5:17–26.

Paragraph 2:6–12

In this section the teachers of the law reacted to Jesus’ statement that the sins of the paralytic were forgiven. They thought that Jesus was an ordinary person who could not be the Messiah.

2:6a

But some of the scribes were sitting there

But: In this context the Greek word that the BSB translates as But introduces background information. It is not indicating contrast in this case. Use the style that is natural in your language to indicate background information.

scribes: The Greek word that the BSB translates as scribes is sometimes translated as “teachers of the law,” as in the NIV. The original work of these men was to copy the laws of Moses by hand. In New Testament times, their main task was to study, interpret, and teach the law of Moses and related Jewish laws and traditions.

Here are some other ways to translate this term:

teachers of the Law of Moses (CEV)

teachers of religious law (NLT)

experts on the law

See how you translated this term in 1:22. See also teacher of the law in the Glossary.

there: The word there refers to the fact that the scribes were in the house with Jesus. The scribes were close enough to Jesus to see and hear what was happening.

2:6b

and thinking in their hearts,

thinking in their hearts: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as thinking in their hearts is literally “reasoning in their hearts.” It indicates that the teachers of the law were thinking about what Jesus had just said, but they did not speak their thoughts out loud. Use a natural expression in your language to describe this.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

δέ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἦσαν Δέ τινές τῶν γραμματέων ἐκεῖ καθήμενοι καί διαλογιζόμενοι ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις αὐτῶν)

Here, the word But introduces something that was happening while Jesus was speaking to the paralytic. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces something that happened at the same time as something that has already been narrated. Alternate translation: [Meanwhile,] or [While that was happening,]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἐν ταῖς καρδίαις αὐτῶν

in the hearts ˱of˲_them

In Mark’s culture, hearts are the places where humans think and feel. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate hearts by referring to the places where humans think and feel in your culture or by expressing the idea plainly. Alternate translation: [in their heads] or [within themselves]
