Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases
γὰρ
for
Here, the word For introduces a further explanation of what Jesus said in the previous verse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a further explanation, or you could leave For untranslated. Alternate translation: “Indeed,” or “Even further,”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
τί & δοῖ ἄνθρωπος ἀντάλλαγμα τῆς ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ?
what & (Some words not found in SR-GNT: τί γὰρ δώσει ἄνθρωπος ἀντάλλαγμα τῆς ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ)
Jesus is using the question form to teach his disciples. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: “a man can give nothing in exchange for his life.” or “a man cannot give anything in exchange for his life!”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
ἄνθρωπος & αὐτοῦ
/a/_person & ˱of˲_him
Although the terms man and his are masculine, Jesus is using the words in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use phrases that make this clear. Alternate translation: “a person … his or her”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἀντάλλαγμα τῆς ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ
˱as˲_/an/_exchange ˱for˲_the soul ˱of˲_him
Here Jesus could be implying: (1) that there is nothing that is worth as much as a person’s life. Alternate translation: “that is as worth as much as his life” (2) that there is nothing that is valuable enough to redeem one’s life when it has been forfeited. Alternate translation: “that can buy back his life”
τῆς ψυχῆς αὐτοῦ
˱for˲_the soul ˱of˲_him
Alternate translation: “his soul”
8:27-38 Peter’s declaration of Jesus as Messiah and Jesus’ first prediction of his death mark a turning point in Mark’s Gospel and a new stage in Jesus’ life. The question, “Who is this man?” raised by the disciples in 4:41, is now answered by Peter.
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.
