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.

10:18 αιρει ¦ ηρεν WH
Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs, red:words differ (from our SR-GNT base).
10:18 No one can take my life from me: The Son’s death was voluntary. Jesus was not a martyr or a victim. His decision to die was freely given in obedience and intimate relationship with his Father (see Acts 2:23-24).
• Jesus’ resurrection was not an afterthought in which God rescued his Son from tragedy. God could not be contained by a tomb, and since Jesus and the Father are one, Jesus possessed the authority to rise from death.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
οὐδεὶς ἦρεν αὐτὴν ἀπ’ ἐμοῦ
no_one took_up it from me
Here Jesus refers to his life as if it were an object that someone could take away. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “No one is causing me to die”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism
ἐγὼ τίθημι αὐτὴν & θεῖναι αὐτήν
I /am/_laying it & /to/_lay it
See how you translated the similar phrase in the previous verse. Alternate translation: “I voluntarily die … to voluntarily die”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rpronouns
ἐγὼ τίθημι αὐτὴν ἀπ’ ἐμαυτοῦ
I /am/_laying it of myself
The reflexive pronoun myself is used here to emphasize that Jesus voluntarily lays down his own life. Use a way that is natural in your language to indicate this emphasis. Alternate translation: “I myself lay it down”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
πάλιν λαβεῖν αὐτήν
again /to/_take it
See how you translated this phrase in the previous verse. Alternate translation: “to cause myself to be alive again”
Note 5 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples
τοῦ Πατρός μου
the Father ˱of˲_me
Father is an important title for God.
