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.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐγένετο οὖν ζήτησις ἐκ τῶν μαθητῶν Ἰωάννου

became therefore ˓a˒_debate of the disciples ˱of˲_John

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of dispute, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [Then the disciples of John began arguing]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐγένετο οὖν ζήτησις ἐκ τῶν μαθητῶν Ἰωάννου μετὰ Ἰουδαίου

became therefore ˓a˒_debate of the disciples ˱of˲_John with ˓a˒_Jew

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

Ἰωάννου

˱of˲_John

The name John refers to Jesus’ cousin, often referred to as “John the Baptist.” (See: johnthebaptist) It does not refer to the apostle John, who wrote this Gospel. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: [of John the Baptist] or [of John the Immerser]
