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 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.

4:15a

He taught in their synagogues

He was teaching in their synagogues,
Jesus went around that area and taught the people about God in their meeting places,

He taught: The Greek verb that the BSB translates as taught indicates that Jesus was teaching regularly or habitually. Some other ways to say this are:

He was teaching

He went around teaching

He began to teach (NET)

in their synagogues: In this context, the phrase their synagogues means “the synagogues of the people of Galilee.”

synagogues: The word synagogues refers to buildings where Jews gathered to pray, read Scripture, teach their beliefs, and worship God. The Jews also gathered in synagogues for cultural activities. Most Jewish communities had a synagogue.

Some ways to translate synagogues are:

prayer-houses of the Jews

meeting-places of the Jews

buildings for worship

houses for gathering together

You will need a different term to translate “synagogue” than you use for “temple.” There was only one temple, and it was in the city of Jerusalem.

If the word “synagogue” is already known in your area, you may write it according to the sounds of your language. You may want to include a word or phrase to explain the meaning. For example:

sinagog house/building

Consider using a footnote that contains some of the information above. Such a footnote may help people who read or hear your translation.

See synagogue in the Glossary.

4:15b

and was glorified by everyone.

and everyone said good things about him.
and everyone who heard him spoke well of him.

was glorified: The Greek word that the BSB translates here as glorified is from the same Greek word that the BSB translates as “glorifying” in 2:20a–b. Here in 4:15b, the word means “praised” or “spoke well of.” This verb is passive in Greek. You may find it natural to translate it with an active verb. For example:

everyone glorified him

by everyone: The word everyone refers to all the people who heard Jesus teach.
