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.

1:27 A menial task such as removing a sandal was reserved for a slave; these tasks were never performed by a disciple.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ὁ ὀπίσω μου ἐρχόμενος
the_‹one› after me coming
Here, John is speaking about Jesus. The phrase coming after me means that John’s ministry has already started and Jesus’ ministry will start later. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: [the one who starts his ministry after I have done so]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
μου & οὗ οὐκ εἰμὶ ἐγὼ ἄξιος, ἵνα λύσω αὐτοῦ τὸν ἱμάντα τοῦ ὑποδήματος
me & ˱of˲_whom not am I worthy that ˱I˲_/may/_untie ˱of˲_him the strap ˱of˲_the sandal
Untying sandals was the work of a slave or servant. John the Baptist uses this expression figurative to refer to the most unpleasant work of a servant. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [me. I am not even worthy to untie the strap of his sandal] or [me, whom I am not worthy to serve in even the most unpleasant way]
