YHN 1:38 Parallel Verse View

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 as a tool 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: writing-pronouns

θεασάμενος αὐτοὺς

˓having˒_seen them

Here, them refers to the two disciples of John the Baptist who were mentioned in the previous verse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [having seen John’s two disciples]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

θεασάμενος αὐτοὺς ἀκολουθοῦντας

˓having˒_seen them following

John is leaving out a word that a sentence would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply this word from the context. Alternate translation: [having seen them following him]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / pastforfuture

λέγει

˱he˲_˓is˒_saying

Here John uses the present tense in past narration in order to call attention to a development in the story.

ποῦ μένεις

where ˱you˲_˓are˒_remaining

Alternate translation: [where are you spending the night]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ποῦ μένεις?

where ˱you˲_˓are˒_remaining

This question is the answer to the question Jesus just asked in the previous sentence. It is a way for the two men to imply that they would like to have a private conversation with Jesus at the place where he was staying. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [where are you staying? We would like to speak with you privately.]
