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.

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.

12.49 Ignem, etc. Quasi dicat: Tu quærebas, an omnes moneam accinctis lumbis, ardentibus lucernis adventum Domini præstolari? Sed ego qui tantum ob hoc veni in mundum ut a cupiditatibus mundi ad cœlestia homines accenderem, nil aliud volo, nisi ut incendii hujus jubar usque ad finem sæculi cunctas mundi partes illustret, et ut in cordibus fidelium ita ignescat, ne aliquo impetu fluctuum vel flatuum exstinguatur. Baptismo autem habeo, etc. Et ut ignis iste in fidelium cordibus queat accendi, ita ut omnia temporalia perfecte et seipsos possint despicere, prius habeo baptismo baptizari, hoc est unctione proprii sanguinis perfundi: non enim daretur spiritus, nisi Jesus primum glorificaretur. Et quomodo. Tanta est dignatio Domini, ut infundendæ nobis devotionis et consummandæ perfectionis in nobis, et maturandæ pro nobis studium passionis sibi inesse testetur, qui cum in se nil haberet unde doleret, nostris tamen angebatur ærumnis, et tempore mortis mœstitiam prætendebat, quam non ex metu mortis suæ, sed mora redemptionis nostræ assumpserat. Usque dum perficiatur. Qui usque ad perfectionem angitur de perfectione est securus, nec de ipsa angitur, sed potius mors corporis absolutio est anxietatis, non coacervatio doloris.
12.49 Ignem, etc. Quasi let_him_say: Tu quærebas, an everyone moneam accinctis lumbis, ardentibus lucernis adventum Master præstolari? But I who only ob this veni in the_world as from cupiditatibus mundi to cœlestia homines accenderem, nil something_else volo, nisi as incendii huyus yubar until to finem sæculi cunctas mundi partes illustret, and as in cordibus fidelium ita ignescat, not aliquo impetu fluctuum or flatuum exstinguatur. Baptismo however habeo, etc. And as ignis this in fidelium cordibus queat accendi, ita as everything temporalia perfecte and seipsos possint despicere, first/before habeo baptismo baptizari, this it_is unctione proprii blood perfundi: not/no because would_be_given spiritus, nisi Yesus primum glorificaretur. And quomodo. Tanta it_is dignatio Master, as infundendæ us devotionis and consummandæ perfectionis in nobis, and maturandæ for us studium passionis sibi inesse testetur, who when/with in se nil haberet whence doleret, nostris tamen angebatur ærumnis, and tempore mortis mœstitiam prætendebat, how not/no from metu mortis suæ, but mora redemptionis nostræ assumpserat. Usque dum perficiatur. Who until to perfectionem angitur about perfectione it_is securus, but_not about herself angitur, but rather mors corporis absolutio it_is anxietatis, not/no coacervatio doloris.

12:49 I have come to set the world on fire: Jesus’ ministry radically changed the status quo, bringing judgment on the wicked and purifying the righteous (see 3:16-17; 9:54; 17:29; Deut 4:24; Amos 5:6; Heb 12:29).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
πῦρ ἦλθον βαλεῖν ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν
fire ˱I˲_came /to/_cast on the earth
Jesus is speaking of the effects of his ministry and teaching. In context, since he says contrastingly in 12:51 that he did not come to bring peace to the earth, fire likely represents the passionate responses to him, both favorable and unfavorable, that would lead to the divisions he describes in 12:52–53. Alternate translation: [My coming will lead to conflict among people]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
τὴν γῆν
the earth
Jesus says the earth to mean the people living on the earth. Alternate translation: [people]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / exclamations
τί θέλω εἰ ἤδη ἀνήφθη
how ˱I˲_/am/_wanting if already ˱it˲_/was/_kindled
This exclamation emphasizes how much Jesus wants this to happen. Alternate translation: [I wish very much that this fire were already lit]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
τί θέλω εἰ ἤδη ἀνήφθη
how ˱I˲_/am/_wanting if already ˱it˲_/was/_kindled
This exclamation continues the metaphor of fire as conflict. Alternate translation: [how I wish that people were already taking sides]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἤδη ἀνήφθη
already ˱it˲_/was/_kindled
If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form. Alternate translation: [the fire were already burning] or [people were already taking sides]
