Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). 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.

SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 9:28–36: Three disciples saw Jesus’ glory

In 9:26 Jesus spoke about the time when he would return to earth and people would see his glory. Then in 9:28–36 God caused Jesus to be glorified for a short time. Peter, James, and John saw this. During that time, Moses and Elijah appeared and talked with Jesus. Peter suggested building shelters for Jesus, Moses, and Elijah. God showed these disciples that Jesus was greater than the great prophets Moses and Elijah because Jesus was God’s Son.

Some other examples of headings for this section are:

Jesus Talks with Moses and Elijah (NCV)

God showed three disciples who Jesus really was

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 17:1–12 and Mark 9:2–13.

9:35a

And a voice came from the cloud, saying,

Then a voice from the cloud said,
God spoke from inside the cloud and he said,

And: This verse begins with a Greek conjunction that is often translated as “and.” Some English versions, such as the BSB, ESV, and RSV, translate it that way. Some other versions, including the NET, NLT, and NRSV, translate it as “Then,” since it introduces the next event in the story. Several other versions, including the CEV, GNT, NCV, and NIV, do not translate this conjunction. Introduce this next event in a natural way in your language.

a voice came from the cloud, saying: In some languages it may not be natural to say that a voice “came.” Other ways to translate this are:

There was a voice from the cloud that said

They heard a voice that came from the cloud

The voice was the voice of God. In some languages it may be more natural to say that God was speaking rather than that his voice came. For example:

God spoke from the cloud, and he said…

They heard God speaking from the cloud. He said…

9:35b

“This is My Son, whom I have chosen.

“Here is my Son, the/my chosen one.
“This is my Son. I have chosen/appointed him.

This is My Son, whom I have chosen: The Greek clause that the BSB translates as This is My Son, whom I have chosen is literally “This is my Son, the chosen one.”There is a textual issue here. (1) Most Greek manuscripts have “the chosen one.” (2) Many other manuscripts have “the beloved” (as in Mark 9:7). (3) A few other manuscripts have “the beloved, in whom I am well pleased” (as in Matthew 17:5). It is recommended that you follow option (1), since it has the earliest and strongest manuscript support. Also, most English versions follow this option. However, if the national language version in your area follows option (2), you may want to include that option in a footnote. An example of a possible footnote is: Some Greek manuscripts have “the beloved” instead of “the chosen one.” For more information, see Swanson p. 171, Greek NT UBS 4^th ed., p. 238; Metzger, p. 148; and Blight 2007a, pp. 416–17. The BSB has supplied the information that it was God who chose Jesus.

God chose Jesus in the sense that he appointed Jesus for a special purpose. Only Jesus could fulfill that purpose, because he is God’s only Son. Your translation should not imply that God selected Jesus from among many other sons. Some other ways to translate this clause are:

This is my Son, my Chosen One (NLT)

This is my Son. He is the one whom I have appointed

My Son: Here the words My Son indicate that Jesus has the same nature as God and that he comes from God. They also indicate that the relationship between God and Jesus, his Son, is similar in some way to the relationship of human fathers and sons. God does not have a physical body, and he did not create/produce Jesus the way a human father produces a son. Jesus existed eternally as the Son with his Father.

In some areas people may not understand the way My Son is used in this context. If that is true in your area, you may wish to include a footnote. For example:

God is the Father of Jesus the Son in a different way than human males are fathers of their sons. The Bible uses the word Son to express the fact that Jesus has the same nature as God. It also indicates that the relationship between God and Jesus, his Son, is similar in some way to the relationship of human fathers and sons.

The word Son, referring to the Son of God, first occurs in Luke in 1:32b.

In languages where there is no single word for Son, many translators have used a more general expression, such as:

my child

my male child

If you decide to use “my male child,” be sure that this expression does not imply that God had another child who was female.

whom I have chosen: In some languages it may be necessary to specify the purpose for which God chose his Son. If that is true in your language, try to use a general expression. For example:

chosen by Me to do My will (TRT)

9:35c

Listen to Him!”

Pay attention to him alone/only.”
He is the one to whom you should listen.”
Listen^(plur) to what he says and obey him!”

Listen to Him!: This is a command addressed to the three disciples. The Greek text emphasizes the word Him. Jesus the Messiah was the one they should listen to, in contrast to Moses and Elijah. Show this emphasis in a natural way in your language. Some ways to do this in English are:

he is the one to whom you should listen

listen to him alone/only

Listen: The verb Listen implies obeying as well as hearing. If people in your area would not understand that the word Listen implies “obey,” you may want to include this implied information. For example:

listen to him and obey him
