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.

Note 1 topic: writing-newevent
καὶ ἐγένετο
and ˱it˲_became
Luke uses this phrase to introduce a new event in the story. Use a word, phrase, or other method in your language that is natural for introducing a new event.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ
in the temple
Since only priests could enter the temple building, this implicitly means the temple courtyard. Luke is using the word for the entire building to refer to one part of it. Alternate translation: [in the temple courtyard]
ἐν μέσῳ τῶν διδασκάλων
in in /the/_midst ˱of˲_the teachers
Alternate translation: [among the teachers] or [surrounded by the teachers]
τῶν διδασκάλων
˱of˲_the teachers
Alternate translation: [the religious teachers] or [the experts in the Jewish law] or [those who taught people about God]
