LUKE 4:4 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. 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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

καὶ

and

The word And introduces a contrast between the devil wanting Jesus to turn the stone into bread and Jesus refusing to do that. Alternate translation: [But]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἀπεκρίθη πρὸς αὐτὸν ὁ Ἰησοῦς, γέγραπται

answered to him ¬the Jesus ˱it˲_/has_been/_written

Jesus clearly implies in his answer that he is rejecting the devil’s challenge. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly, as UST does. Alternate translation: [Jesus replied, ‘No, I will not do that, because it is written’]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

γέγραπται, ὅτι οὐκ ἐπ’ ἄρτῳ μόνῳ ζήσεται ὁ ἄνθρωπος

˱it˲_/has_been/_written ¬that not on bread only /will_be/_living the person

If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [It is written that man will not live on bread alone]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

γέγραπται

˱it˲_/has_been/_written

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form, and you could state what is doing the action. Alternate translation: [The Scriptures say]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

οὐκ ἐπ’ ἄρτῳ μόνῳ ζήσεται ὁ ἄνθρωπος

not on bread only /will_be/_living the person

The word bread refers to food in general. Jesus quotes this scripture to explain why he will not turn the stone into bread. It means that food by itself, without God, is not enough to sustain a person in life. Alternate translation: [It is not just having food that makes a person truly alive] or [God says there are more important things than food]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

ὁ ἄνθρωπος

¬the the person

Here, Man has a generic sense that refers to all people. Alternate translation: [People]
