Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

Note 1 topic: translate-tense
θεωρεῖ τὸν οὐρανὸν ἀνεῳγμένον
˱he˲_/is/_observing ¬the heaven /having_been/_opened_up
To call attention to a development in the story, here Luke uses the present tense in past narration. If it would not be natural to do that in your language, you could use the past tense in your translation. It may be helpful to start a new sentence here. Alternate translation: [And he saw] or [And Peter saw]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
τὸν οὐρανὸν ἀνεῳγμένον
¬the heaven /having_been/_opened_up
If your language does not use the passive form opened, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [the sky break open]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
καθιέμενον
/being/_let_down
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. It may be helpful to begin a new sentence here. Alternate translation: [It appeared as if someone was letting it down]
