LUKE 6:29 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.

6.29 Et qui te percutit. Cum charitas patiens sit, debet patientiam verberantis sustinere, cum benigna sit, non debet respondere maledictis.

Præbe illis, etc. Medicus animarum quos ad curandos proximos instruit, omnia quæ ad salutem proximorum valere possunt tolerare præcipit. Et pertinet ad misericordiam, ut tanquam a filiis ægrotantibus et phreneticis, si salus illorum hoc exigat, multa patiantur, donec infirmitas transeat. Quid tam mirum quam percutienti maxillam præbere? Imo omnis indignantis impetus frangitur, ira sedatur; et per patientiam ille invitatur ad pœnitentiam. Vestimentum. Quod de vestimento et tunica dicitur et in aliis est faciendum, quæ aliquo jure temporaliter nostra esse dicimus. Si enim de necessariis hoc imperatur, multo magis superflua contemnere præcipitur.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo

τῷ τύπτοντί σε ἐπὶ τὴν σιαγόνα, πάρεχε καὶ τὴν ἄλλην

˱to˲_the_‹one› striking you on the cheek /be/_bringing_about also the other

Jesus is using a hypothetical situation to teach. Alternate translation: [Suppose someone hits you on one side of your face. Then turn your face so that he could also strike the other side]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / youcrowd

σε & σου

you & ˱of˲_you

Even though Jesus is still speaking to his disciples and the crowd, he is now addressing an individual situation, so you and your are singular in this verse. But if the singular forms of these pronouns would not be natural in your language for someone who was speaking to a group of people, you could use the plural forms in your translation.

ἐπὶ τὴν σιαγόνα

on the cheek

Alternate translation: [on one side of your face]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

πάρεχε καὶ τὴν ἄλλην

/be/_bringing_about also the other

It may be helpful to state the implicit purpose of this action. Alternate translation: [turn your face so that he could also strike the other side, to show that you do not want to fight and you are not resisting]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo

ἀπὸ τοῦ αἴροντός σου τὸ ἱμάτιον, καὶ τὸν χιτῶνα μὴ κωλύσῃς

from the_‹one› taking_away ˱of˲_you ¬the /the/_coat also the tunic not ˱you˲_/may/_forbid

Jesus is using another hypothetical situation to teach. Alternate translation: [suppose someone takes away your cloak. Then give him your tunic as well]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / litotes

καὶ τὸν χιτῶνα μὴ κωλύσῃς

also and also the tunic not ˱you˲_/may/_forbid

Here Jesus uses a figure of speech that expresses a positive meaning by using a negative word together with a word that is the opposite of the intended meaning. Alternate translation: [give him your tunic as well]
