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.

OET (OET-RV) as they figured out, “This is Yeshua the son of Yosef and so we know his parents. So how can he say that he came down from heaven?”
OET-LV And they_were_saying, is this Not Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) the son of_Yōsaʸf/(Yōşēf), of_whose the father and the mother we have_known?
How now is_he_saying, that I_have_came_down out_of the heaven?
SR-GNT Καὶ ἔλεγον, “Οὐχ οὗτός ἐστιν ˚Ἰησοῦς ὁ υἱὸς Ἰωσήφ, οὗ ἡμεῖς οἴδαμεν τὸν πατέρα καὶ τὴν μητέρα; Πῶς νῦν λέγει, ὅτι ‘Ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καταβέβηκα’;” ‡
(Kai elegon, “Ouⱪ houtos estin ˚Yaʸsous ho huios Yōsaʸf, hou haʸmeis oidamen ton patera kai taʸn maʸtera; Pōs nun legei, hoti ‘Ek tou ouranou katabebaʸka’;”)

Alternate translation: “This is just Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know!”
