Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations.

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.

9:18-27 Peter’s confession that Jesus was the Messiah marked a turning point, as Jesus moved from demonstrating his messianic authority through miracles to explaining the unexpected suffering of the Messiah. Jesus accepted the confession but clarified that his being the Messiah would involve suffering and death. He called his disciples to follow him regardless of the cost.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
τί γὰρ ὠφελεῖται ἄνθρωπος, κερδήσας τὸν κόσμον ὅλον, ἑαυτὸν δὲ ἀπολέσας ἢ ζημιωθείς?
what for /is_being/_benefited /a/_person /having/_gained the world whole himself and /having/_destroyed or /having_been/_lost
Jesus does not expect his disciples to tell him what benefit this would be. Rather, he is using the question form as a teaching tool. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate his words as a statement. Alternate translation: “It would not benefit a person to get everything he wanted in this world and yet be lost eternally.”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
τί γὰρ ὠφελεῖται ἄνθρωπος, κερδήσας τὸν κόσμον ὅλον, ἑαυτὸν δὲ ἀπολέσας ἢ ζημιωθείς
what for /is_being/_benefited /a/_person /having/_gained the world whole himself and /having/_destroyed or /having_been/_lost
The terms losing and forfeiting mean the same thing. Jesus uses them together for emphasis. Alternate translation: “For what does a person benefit to get everything he wanted in this world but to completely destroy himself”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
ἄνθρωπος
/a/_person
Jesus is using the term man in a generic sense that includes all people. Alternate translation: “a person”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
τί γὰρ ὠφελεῖται ἄνθρωπος, κερδήσας τὸν κόσμον ὅλον, ἑαυτὸν δὲ ἀπολέσας ἢ ζημιωθείς
what for /is_being/_benefited /a/_person /having/_gained the world whole himself and /having/_destroyed or /having_been/_lost
Jesus says the whole world as an overstatement for emphasis. Alternate translation: “For what does a person benefit to get everything he wanted in this world but to lose or forfeit himself”
