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 / doublenegatives

ὃς οὐ λαμβάνει τὸν σταυρὸν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀκολουθεῖ ὀπίσω μου, οὐκ ἔστιν μου ἄξιος

who not /is/_taking the cross ˱of˲_him and /is/_following after me not is ˱of˲_me worthy

If it would be clearer in your language, you could use a positive expression to translate this sentence that has two negatives. Alternate translation: “whoever is worthy of me takes up his cross and follows after me”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οὐ λαμβάνει τὸν σταυρὸν αὐτοῦ

not /is/_taking the cross ˱of˲_him

Jesus assumes that the disciples will know that the Romans executed some criminals by nailing them to a wooden beam with crossbar that was set upright so that the criminals would slowly suffocate. Jesus also assumes that the disciples will know that the Romans made these criminals carry these wooden crosses through the streets to the place where they were going to be executed. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make some of this information more explicit. Alternate translation: “does not take up the wooden cross on which he will be executed”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

οὐ λαμβάνει τὸν σταυρὸν αὐτοῦ

not /is/_taking the cross ˱of˲_him

Here Jesus speaks of taking up a cross in order to describe people who are ready and willing to suffer and even die because they follow Jesus. Because this figure of speech is connected to how Jesus himself died on a cross, if possible you should preserve the metaphor or express the idea in simile form. Alternate translation: “is not ready to suffer, which is like taking up his cross,” or “does not take up his cross, ready to suffer or die,”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

αὐτοῦ

˱of˲_him

Although the term his is masculine, Jesus is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that makes this clear. Alternate translation: “his or her”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οὐκ ἔστιν μου ἄξιος

not is ˱of˲_me worthy

See how you translated the phrase worthy of me in the previous verse. Alternate translation: “does not deserve to be my disciple”
