LUKE 8:18 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:

βλέπετε οὖν πῶς ἀκούετε

/be/_watching_out therefore how ˱you_all˲_/are/_hearing

The phrase be careful does not mean that listening is dangerous. Rather, it means that people should listen carefully, because, as Jesus has just said, God wants to reveal spiritual secrets. Alternate translation: “so make sure that you listen well” or “so listen carefully and reflect on what you hear”

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὃς ἂν & ἔχῃ, δοθήσεται αὐτῷ

whoever ¬wishfully & /may_be/_having /will_be_being/_given ˱to˲_him

The implication in context is that the phrase whoever has, it will be given to him refers to understanding and believing. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “whoever seeks sincerely to understand will be given more understanding”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ὃς ἂν & ἔχῃ, δοθήσεται αὐτῷ

whoever ¬wishfully & /may_be/_having /will_be_being/_given ˱to˲_him

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form. Alternate translation: “whoever seeks sincerely to understand will understand better” or “God will give greater understanding to anyone who seeks sincerely to understand”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

καὶ ὃς ἂν μὴ ἔχῃ, καὶ ὃ δοκεῖ ἔχειν ἀρθήσεται ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ

and whoever ¬wishfully not /may_be/_having even what ˱he˲_/is/_supposing /to_be/_having /will_be_being/_taken_away from him

The implication once again is that the phrase whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has will be taken away from him refers to understanding and believing. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “But whoever does not have understanding, even what understanding he thinks he has will be taken away from him”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

καὶ ὃς ἂν μὴ ἔχῃ, καὶ ὃ δοκεῖ ἔχειν ἀρθήσεται ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ

and whoever ¬wishfully not /may_be/_having even what ˱he˲_/is/_supposing /to_be/_having /will_be_being/_taken_away from him

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form. Alternate translation: “whoever presumes that he already understands will understand less and less” or “God will not give greater understanding to anyone who presumes that he already understands”
