OET (OET-LV) And the mother of_him and the brothers of_him are_coming and standing outside, they_sent_out to him calling him.

OET (OET-RV) Now Yeshua’s mother and brothers came and were standing outside and asked someone to tell him that they were there.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 3:31–35: Jesus’ family arrived to take him home, but he stayed to do God’s will

In this section, Jesus’ family, who thought that he was insane (3:21), arrived to take him home to Nazareth. Jesus refused to go with them. He also indicated that those who are truly related to him are those who do what God wants them to do. They are his true family.

It is good to translate this section before you decide on a heading for it.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

Jesus’ family tries to take him home

Jesus says who his true family really is

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 12:46–50 and Luke 8:19–21.

3:31a

Then Jesus’ mother and brothers came

Then: This verse is the beginning of a new story. The events in this story happened soon after the events in the preceding section. The BSB introduces this story with the word Then.

It may be natural in your language to begin a story with a time word or phrase. If that is true, use an expression that is not too specific. For example:

Then (NCV)

After that

In some languages, a time word or phrase is not necessary. Introduce this story in a natural way in your language.

brothers: If your language must distinguish between “older” and “younger” brothers, it is recommended that you use a term for “younger brothers” here. If your language does not use terms that distinguish male and female, such as brother or sister, it may be more natural to use general terms. For example:

siblings

younger-siblings

came: In 3:21b, Jesus’ family left their home to come and take Jesus back home. In this verse they arrived. It is implied that they cameto the house where Jesus was. This house was mentioned in 3:20a. If you need to specify in your language where they arrived or where they came from, you could say:

arrived at the house where he was

arrived from their home

3:31b

and stood outside.

stood outside: Jesus’ mother and brothers stood outside the house where Jesus was because there were so many people inside the house. In some languages it may be helpful to make some of this information explicit. For example:

and stood outside the house

and standing outside because of the crowd inside

3:31c

They sent someone in to summon Him,

They sent someone in to summon Him: In Greek, this part of the verse is literally “they sent to him calling him.” It indicates that Jesus’ mother and brothers sent a message to him to request him to come outside. The text does not specify how they sent the message to Jesus. The BSB supplies the words someone and in, because it is likely that they told someone to go inside the house to tell their message to Jesus.

Here are some other ways to translate this:

They…sent in a message, asking for him. (GNT)

they sent word to him to summon him (NET)

They caused him to be called.

Use a natural way in your language to express the idea.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases

καὶ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἔρχονται ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ καί οἱ ἀδελφοί αὐτοῦ καί ἔξω στήκοντες ἀπέστειλαν πρός αὐτόν καλοῦντες αὐτόν)

Here, the word And introduces the next thing that happened. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next event, or you could leave And untranslated. Alternate translation: [After that,]

Note 2 topic: translate-kinship

οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ

the (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἔρχονται ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ καί οἱ ἀδελφοί αὐτοῦ καί ἔξω στήκοντες ἀπέστειλαν πρός αὐτόν καλοῦντες αὐτόν)

These were Jesus’ younger brothers. They were sons of Mary and Joseph. Since the Father of Jesus was God, and their father was Joseph, they were actually his half-brothers. That detail is not normally translated, but if your language has a specific word for “younger brother,” you could use it here.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / go

ἔρχονται

˓are˒_coming

In a context such as this, your language might say “go” instead of come. Alternate translation: [go]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἔξω στήκοντες

outside standing

Here Mark implies that they are standing outside the house that Jesus is in, most likely the house mentioned in [3:20](../03/20.md). If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [standing outside the house] or [standing outside the place where Jesus was teaching]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἀπέστειλαν πρὸς αὐτὸν καλοῦντες αὐτόν

˱they˲_sent_out (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἔρχονται ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ καί οἱ ἀδελφοί αὐτοῦ καί ἔξω στήκοντες ἀπέστειλαν πρός αὐτόν καλοῦντες αὐτόν)

Here Mark means that Jesus’ mother and brothers sent a person to Jesus to ask him to come out and meet them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [they sent a messenger to him to summon him] or [they had someone go in and tell him to come out]

OET (OET-RV) Now Yeshua’s mother and brothers came and were standing outside and asked someone to tell him that they were there.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
