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 4:14–30: The people rejected Jesus at Nazareth

In the synagogue in Nazareth, Jesus read a text from Isaiah that refers to the Messiah. Jesus said that what this scripture talked about was happening as he read it. By saying this, Jesus was claiming to be the Messiah. He used examples from the history of Israel to show that the Israelites did not believe and obey God well. He implied that people from other countries were ready to believe and obey God more than the people of Israel were. So the people of Nazareth tried to kill Jesus, but they could not.

Some other possible headings for this section are:

The People of Nazareth Turn against Jesus (CEV)

Jesus Rejected at Nazareth (ESV)

There is a parallel passage for this section in Mark 6:1–6.

Paragraph 4:14–15

This verse begins with a Greek conjunction that is often translated as “and.” Some English versions, such as the ESV, translate it that way. The BSB has not translated this conjunction, and some other versions such as the NIV and NET also do not translate it here.

However, the events in this paragraph occurred soon after the events in 4:13. In some languages, it may be natural to begin this paragraph by using a time word or phrase to translate this conjunction. For example:

Then (GNT)

After that

Connect 4:14a to 4:13b in a way that is natural in your language.

4:14a

Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit,

¶ When Jesus returned to the region of Galilee, God’s Spirit was giving him power.
¶ Then Jesus went back to the province of Galilee, and the Holy Spirit was guiding/empowering him.

Jesus returned to Galilee: Galilee was the name of a province in the northern part of the land of Israel. Galilee was where Jesus had lived when he was a boy. In this passage, Jesus left the province of Judea and went north to return to Galilee.

in the power of the Spirit: The phrase in the power of the Spirit means “guided by the Spirit” or “with the Holy Spirit’s power.” God’s Holy Spirit guided Jesus and gave him the power to do all that God wanted him to do. (The phrase “full of the Holy Spirit” in 4:1a has a similar meaning.)

Some other ways to translate this are:

and the power of the Holy Spirit was with him (GNT)

filled with the Holy Spirit’s power (NLT)

4:14b

and the news about Him spread throughout the surrounding region.

News about him spread throughout the entire area.
People told other people about Jesus all through that region/district.

the news about Him spread throughout the surrounding region: Here are some other ways to translate the phrase that the BSB translates as the news about Him spread throughout the surrounding region:

people told other people about Jesus all over the province of Galilee

Soon he became well known throughout the surrounding country. (NLT96)

surrounding region: The Greek word that the BSB translates as surrounding region can also be translated as “countryside” (NIV) or simply “area” (NCV). It is a general term that here refers to the towns and villages throughout Galilee.

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ὑπέστρεψεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐν τῇ δυνάμει τοῦ Πνεύματος εἰς τήν Γαλιλαίαν Καί φήμη ἐξῆλθεν καθʼ ὅλης τῆς περιχώρου περί αὐτοῦ)

Luke uses the word And to introduce a new event in the story. Alternate translation: [Then]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐν τῇ δυνάμει τοῦ Πνεύματος

in the power ˱of˲_the Spirit

This phrase means that God, by the Holy Spirit, was empowering Jesus in a special way, enabling him to do things that ordinary humans could not. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: [and the Spirit was giving him the power to do extraordinary things]

Luke speaks of this news as if it were something that could go out actively by itself. This expression means that those who heard about Jesus told other people about him, who then told even more people about him. Alternate translation: [people spread the news about Jesus]

καθ’ ὅλης τῆς περιχώρου

Alternate translation: [everywhere around Galilee]
