OET interlinear MARK 7:1

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-newevent

καὶ

and

Here, the word And 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 And untranslated. Alternate translation: [Sometime later,]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

συνάγονται πρὸς αὐτὸν οἱ Φαρισαῖοι καί τινες τῶν γραμματέων, ἐλθόντες ἀπὸ Ἱεροσολύμων

˓are_being˒_gathered_together to him the Pharisees and some ˱of˲_the scribes ˓having˒_come from Jerusalem

Here Mark could be implying that: (1) both the Pharisees and the scribes came from Jerusalem. Alternate translation: [having come from Jerusalem, the Pharisees and some of the scribes are being gathered to him] (2) only the scribes came from Jerusalem. Alternate translation: [the Pharisees and some of the scribes who came from Jerusalem are being gathered to him]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / go

ἐλθόντες

˓having˒_come

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

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

συνάγονται

˓are_being˒_gathered_together

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. Alternate translation: [are gathering] or [are coming together]
