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.

24:1-12 Women were the first to find the tomb empty and to hear the announcement of the resurrection. This is strong evidence for the historicity of the resurrection accounts. In first-century Judaism, women were not regarded as reliable witnesses, so the church would never have created stories in which women discovered the empty tomb.
Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
ἐμφόβων & γενομένων αὐτῶν & εἶπαν πρὸς αὐτάς
frightened & /having/_become them & ˱they˲_said to them
The first instance of they refers to the women, while the second instance refers to the men. Alternate translation: “as the women became terrified … the men said to them”
Note 2 topic: translate-symaction
κλινουσῶν τὰ πρόσωπα εἰς τὴν γῆν
bowing their faces to the ground
Looking down at the ground was a gesture of respect towards these men. Alternate translation: “respectfully lowered their gaze”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / verbs
εἶπαν πρὸς αὐτάς
˱they˲_said to them
If your language uses dual forms for verbs, use that form here, since two men are speaking.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
τί ζητεῖτε τὸν ζῶντα μετὰ τῶν νεκρῶν?
why ˱you_all˲_/are/_seeking the_‹one› living with the dead
The men do not expect the women to tell them why they are looking for a living person in a tomb. Rather, the men are using the question form to make an announcement. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate their words as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: “You should not be looking for Jesus here, because he is no longer dead, he is alive again!”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
τὸν ζῶντα μετὰ τῶν νεκρῶν
the_‹one› living with the dead
The men are using the adjectives living and dead as nouns to refer to groups of people. (The term living is actually a participle that functions here as an adjective.) Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate these with equivalent phrases. Alternate translation: “someone who is alive among the bodies of people who have died”
