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: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἐκβαλόντες ἔξω τῆς πόλεως
/having/_cast_out_‹him› out the city
Luke is likely speaking when he speaks of the Sanhedrin members throwing Stephen outside the city. It is unlikely that they actually picked him up and heaved him through the air. Alternate translation: [seizing Stephen and forcefully taking him out of the city]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
οἱ μάρτυρες
the witnesses
These were the “false witnesses” whom the Sanhedrin brought in to accuse Stephen, as described in 6:13. According to the Law of Moses, it was their responsibility to carry out the execution of the man they had accused. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: [the false witnesses, who were responsible to carry out the execution,]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἀπέθεντο τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτῶν, παρὰ τοὺς πόδας νεανίου καλουμένου Σαύλου
put_away the robes ˱of˲_them before the feet ˱of˲_/a/_young_man /being/_named Saul
The implications are that the witnesses took off their long robes so that they could throw stones at Stephen more easily and that they left them with Saul for safekeeping. UST models one way to make these implications explicit.
Note 4 topic: translate-unknown
τὰ ἱμάτια
the robes
These outer garments were long cloaks or robes that people wore outside to stay warm. They were also a sign of wealth and status. If your readers would not be familiar with this kind of garment, you could use the name of another garment that they would recognize, or you could use a general expression. Alternate translation: [coats] or [robes]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
παρὰ τοὺς πόδας
before the feet
The expression at the feet means on the ground in front of someone. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [on the ground in front of]
