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: figures-of-speech / rquestion

τίνι οὖν ὁμοιώσω τοὺς ἀνθρώπους τῆς γενεᾶς ταύτης, καὶ τίνι εἰσὶν ὅμοιοι?

˱to˲_what therefore ˱I˲_/will_be/_likening the people ¬the ˱of˲_generation this and ˱to˲_what ˱they˲_are similar

Jesus is using these questions as a teaching tool, to introduce a comparison. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate them as statements. Alternate translation: [This is what I compare the people of this time to. This is what they are like]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

τίνι οὖν ὁμοιώσω τοὺς ἀνθρώπους τῆς γενεᾶς ταύτης, καὶ τίνι εἰσὶν ὅμοιοι?

˱to˲_what therefore ˱I˲_/will_be/_likening the people ¬the ˱of˲_generation this and ˱to˲_what ˱they˲_are similar

These two phrases mean the same thing. Jesus is using repetition for emphasis and to capture the interest of his listeners. You do not need to put both phrases in your translation if that might be confusing for your readers. Alternate translation: [What should I compare the people of this time to?] or [This is what I compare the people of this time to.]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

τοὺς ἀνθρώπους τῆς γενεᾶς ταύτης

the people ¬the ˱of˲_generation this

Jesus is using the term men in a generic sense that includes all people. Alternate translation: [the people of this generation]
