LUKE 20:40 Parallel Verse View

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 / doublenegatives

οὐκέτι & ἐτόλμων ἐπερωτᾶν αὐτὸν οὐδέν

no_longer & ˱they˲_/were/_daring /to_be/_asking him nothing

Here Luke uses a double negative in Greek for emphasis, saying no longer and “nothing.” The second negative does not cancel the first to create a positive meaning, “they still dared to ask him something.” If for emphasis your language uses double negatives that do not cancel one another, it would be appropriate to use that construction here.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οὐκέτι & ἐτόλμων ἐπερωτᾶν αὐτὸν οὐδέν

no_longer & ˱they˲_/were/_daring /to_be/_asking him nothing

The implication in context is that Jesus’ enemies were afraid that if they continued to ask him difficult questions, his wise answers would continue to show how much more he understood than they did. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: [they were afraid to ask him any more difficult questions, because they realized he would give more wise answers that would show how much more he understood than they did]

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

οὐκέτι & ἐτόλμων

no_longer & ˱they˲_/were/_daring

It is unclear whether they refers to the scribes, the Sadducees, or everyone who had been trying to trap Jesus with difficult questions. It may be best to translate this with a general statement. Alternate translation: [Jesus’ enemies no longer dared]
