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.

20:6 the people will stone us: Stoning was the penalty for blasphemy (Lev 24:14-15), idolatry (Lev 20:2; Deut 13:10), and other sins of defiance against God. The people might have regarded rejection of an authentic prophet as blasphemy deserving of stoning.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo
ἐὰν δὲ εἴπωμεν, ἐξ ἀνθρώπων, ὁ λαὸς ἅπας καταλιθάσει ἡμᾶς
if but ˱we˲_/may/_say from humans the people all /will_be/_stoning us
The Jewish leaders are describing another hypothetical situation. Alternate translation: “But suppose we say, ‘From men.’ Then all the people will stone us”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes
ἐὰν δὲ εἴπωμεν, ἐξ ἀνθρώπων, ὁ λαὸς ἅπας καταλιθάσει ἡμᾶς
if but ˱we˲_/may/_say from humans the people all /will_be/_stoning us
If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: “But if we say that John’s authority came from people, then all the people will stone us”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
ἀνθρώπων
humans
See how you translated men in 20:4. Alternate translation: “people”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
ὁ λαὸς ἅπας
the people all
For emphasis, the Jewish leaders speak as if every single person in the Jewish nation believed that John was God’s prophet and would stone them if they said otherwise. Alternate translation: “many of the Jewish people”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ὁ λαὸς ἅπας
the people all
This was a customary way of speaking of the Jewish nation. Alternate translation: “all the Jewish people”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
καταλιθάσει ἡμᾶς
/will_be/_stoning us
The implication is that the people would do this as a punishment for blasphemy, for saying that one of God’s prophets had only human authority. Alternate translation: “will kill us by throwing stones at us, as punishment for blasphemy”
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
πεπεισμένος & ἐστιν
/having_been/_persuaded & ˱he˲_is
If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form. If you translated the … people as “the Jewish people,” this would be plural. Alternate translation: “they firmly believe”
