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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

δὲ

but

Peter uses this word to introduce a contrast between what Pilate wanted to do and what these people demanded he do instead. Alternate translation: “Even though Pilate wanted to release Jesus,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

τὸν Ἅγιον καὶ Δίκαιον

the Holy_‹One› and Righteous_‹One›

Peter is using both the adjective Holy and the adjective Righteous to indicate a certain person, Jesus. (ULT adds One to indicate that.) Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could indicate specifically whom Peter means. Alternate translation: “Jesus, who was holy and righteous”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

τὸν Ἅγιον καὶ Δίκαιον

the Holy_‹One› and Righteous_‹One›

The terms Holy and Righteous mean similar things. Peter is using the two terms together for emphasis. Alternate translation: “the Supremely Holy One” or “Jesus, who was supremely holy”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὸν Ἅγιον καὶ Δίκαιον

the Holy_‹One› and Righteous_‹One›

This description of Jesus is an implicit assertion that he is the Messiah. Alternate translation: “Jesus, the Messiah”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ᾐτήσασθε ἄνδρα, φονέα χαρισθῆναι ὑμῖν

˱you_all˲_requested /a/_man /a/_murderer /to_be/_granted ˱to˲_you_all

If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this with an active form. Alternate translation: “asked Pilate to release to you a man who was a murderer”
