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 / explicit

δέξασθαι, αὐτός

/to/_receive_‹it› he

Here Jesus leaves out what will happen if the people are willing to accept it. He implies that, when they accept it, they will learn or understand what he is about to tell them. If it would be helpful in your language, you could include this implied idea. Alternate translation: [to accept it, you can be sure that he] or [to accept it, you will understand that he]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

δέξασθαι

/to/_receive_‹it›

Here Jesus could be implying that they need to be willing to accept: (1) what Jesus says about John. Alternate translation: to accept what I tell you] (2) what the Law and the Prophets prophesied (see [11:13). Alternate translation: [to accept what the Law and the Prophets said]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

αὐτός ἐστιν Ἠλείας, ὁ μέλλων ἔρχεσθαι

he is (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ εἰ θέλετε δέξασθαι αὐτός ἐστιν Ἠλίας ὁ μέλλων ἔρχεσθαι)

Here Jesus is referring to a prophecy in Malachi 4:5–6. This prophecy states that God will send Elijah before the day of the Lord arrives, and he will prepare people. Elijah was a prophet who did many powerful things a long time before Malachi wrote down this prophecy. What Jesus implies is that John the Baptist fulfills this prophecy, and so he is like Elijah, just as Malachi prophesied. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [he is the person about whom it is prophesied that someone like Elijah would come] or [he is the one being about to come, whom the prophets named Elijah]

Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns

αὐτός

The pronoun he refers to John the Baptist. If this is not clear for your readers, you could use the person's name here. Alternate translation: [John the Baptist]
