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.

12:11-12 brought to trial: Jesus predicted persecution from Jews in the synagogues and from Gentile rulers and authorities. Paul and other apostles faced both kinds of persecution throughout Acts.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ὅταν & εἰσφέρωσιν ὑμᾶς
whenever & ˱they˲_˓may_be˒_carrying_in you_all
The implication is that the opponents of Jesus would do this to his disciples. Alternate translation: [when my opponents bring you]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ἐπὶ τὰς συναγωγὰς
before the synagogues
Jesus is referring to local Jewish tribunals by reference to the place where they met, in synagogues. Alternate translation: [to be tried by local Jewish tribunals]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
τὰς ἀρχὰς, καὶ τὰς ἐξουσίας
the the rulers and the authorities
These two terms mean similar things. Jesus may be using them together for emphasis. He is referring to officials of the Roman Empire. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could combine the terms into a single phrase. Alternate translation: [the officials whom the Romans have appointed]
