LUKE 24:3 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—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). 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.

SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 24:1–12: Jesus rose from the dead

In this section, Luke wrote about what happened when Jesus rose from the dead. In 23:55 some women saw where his dead body was laid in the tomb. In 24:1 they returned to the tomb to rub Jesus’ body with ointments. When they came, two angels said to the women, “He has risen!”

This section shows that Jesus’ body was alive again, as well as his spirit. The strips of cloth that the women used to wrap his body were lying by themselves in the tomb. Be sure to translate this section in a way that clearly shows that Jesus came alive again as a real human being.

The first people who came to Jesus’ tomb were women, so they were the ones who heard the good news from the angels. When they went and told his followers, the followers did not believe the women.

Some examples of other headings for this section are:

Jesus Comes Back to Life (GW)

The Resurrection of Jesus (NRSV)

Jesus Is Alive (CEV)

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 28:1–10, Mark 16:1–8, and John 20:1–10.

24:3a

but when they entered,

So they went into the tomb, but
When they entered the place/tomb,

but when they entered: This clause introduces the fact that they did not find Jesus’ body (24:3b). That contrasts with what the women expected. Translate the contrast in a natural way in your language.

they entered: The phrase they entered implies that the women entered the tomb. Since the tomb was a cave, several women could probably enter it at the same time.

In some languages it may be necessary to make it explicit that the women entered the tomb. For example:

when they went into the tomb

24:3b

they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

they did not see the body of the Lord Jesus.
the Lord Jesus’ corpse was not there.

they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus: This clause indicates that the women did not see Jesus’ corpse there. His body was not where the women had seen it after he died. They could not find his body in the tomb at all. It was gone.

Some other ways to translate this clause are:

they saw that the body/corpse of the Lord Jesus was not there

they looked for the body of the Lord Jesus, but it was not there

the body of the Lord Jesus: There is a textual issue here:

Many Greek manuscripts include the words of the Lord Jesus. Here is another way to translate this:
they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus (GNT) (BSB, KJV, NASB, NIV, NJB, GNT, REB, NET, GW, ESV, NLT, CEV, NCV, JBP)
Some Greek manuscripts do not include the words of the Lord Jesus.Some other manuscripts have “of Jesus.” No English version on TW follows this textual option. For example:
they did not find the body (RSV) (RSV, NRSV)

It is recommended that you follow option (1), since it has the best manuscript support.The UBS 4^th Edition Greek NT includes these words with a B rating, indicating that the text is almost certain. (For information on this rating system, see p. 3 in the introduction.) Also, nearly every English version follows this option.
