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.

Key for above GNTs: yellow:punctuation differs (from our SR-GNT base).
11:20-24 The miracles Jesus performed confirmed him as Messiah (11:5-6) and demanded repentance (11:20). Rejecting the Messiah would result in terrible judgment because the evidence of Jesus’ identity was clear.
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast
πλὴν
however
Here, the word Nevertheless introduces a contrast with how people might think about the wicked people of Sodom. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces this kind of contrast, or you could leave Nevertheless untranslated. Alternate translation: [Yet] or [As a matter of fact]
λέγω ὑμῖν
˱I˲_/am/_saying ˱to˲_you_all
Jesus uses the clause I say to you to emphasize what he is about to say. Use a natural form in your language for emphasizing the truth and importance of a statement. Alternate translation: [I want you to know]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
γῇ Σοδόμων ἀνεκτότερον ἔσται ἐν ἡμέρᾳ κρίσεως ἢ σοί
˱for˲_/the/_land ˱of˲_Sodom more_tolerable ˱it˲_will_be in day ˱of˲_judgment than ˱for˲_you
Jesus assumes that his audience will know that God destroyed the land of Sodom because the people in it were so wicked. The implication is that it must therefore be an extremely grave offense to reject the messengers of the kingdom of God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [God will judge you more severely than he will judge the people who lived in the land of Sodom, even though he destroyed that land because they were so wicked]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
γῇ Σοδόμων
˱for˲_/the/_land ˱of˲_Sodom
Here, the phrase the land of Sodom refers to the people who live in that land. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [for the people of the land of Sodom]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
ἐν ἡμέρᾳ κρίσεως
in day ˱of˲_judgment
Here, Jesus is using the possessive form to describe a day on which judgment will happen. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: [on the day when God judges everyone]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
κρίσεως
˱of˲_judgment
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of judgment, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [when people are judged]
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
σοί
˱for˲_you
Since Jesus is addressing an individual city, Capernaum, you here is singular.
