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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

παρὰ ἀνθρώπου

from human_origin

Here, man does not refer to any specific man, but to any human being. Alternate translation: “from mankind” or “from anyone”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ταῦτα λέγω

these_‹things› ˱I˲_/am/_saying

Here, these things could refer to: (1) what Jesus said about John the Baptist in the previous verse. Alternate translation: “I say this about John” (2) all that Jesus has said in verses 17–33. Alternate translation: “I say these things about myself and John”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἵνα ὑμεῖς σωθῆτε

in_order_that you_all /may_be/_saved

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you must state who did the action, Jesus implies that God did it. Alternate translation: “so that God might save you”
