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 as a tool 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.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

12:23 Amazement was a common response to Jesus’ miracles (Mark 2:12; 6:51; Luke 2:47; 8:56; 24:22).
• Could it be: The question expected a negative answer: Jesus did not fit their expectations for the Messiah, but his miracles did prompt the question.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἐξίσταντο

˓were˒_marveling

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [were marveling]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

μήτι οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ υἱὸς Δαυείδ

surely_not this_‹one› is the son (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ ἐξίσταντο πάντες οἱ ὄχλοι καὶ ἔλεγον μήτι οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ υἱὸς Δαυίδ)

The crowds are using the question form to suggest that Jesus might be the Son of David. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: [This might be the Son of David.] or [Maybe this is the Son of David!]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ὁ υἱὸς Δαυείδ

the son (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ ἐξίσταντο πάντες οἱ ὄχλοι καὶ ἔλεγον μήτι οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ υἱὸς Δαυίδ)

Here, the word Son means a male descendant. It does not mean that Jesus was the direct son of David. Express the idea as you did in [9:27](../09/27.md). Alternate translation: [the Descendant of David] or [you who are descended from David]

Note 4 topic: translate-unknown

ὁ υἱὸς Δαυείδ

the son (Some words not found in SR-GNT: καὶ ἐξίσταντο πάντες οἱ ὄχλοι καὶ ἔλεγον μήτι οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ υἱὸς Δαυίδ)

David was Israel’s most important king, and God had promised him that one of his descendants would be the Messiah. So the title Son of David could implicitly mean “Messiah.” Express the idea as you did in [9:27](../09/27.md). Alternate translation: [the Son of David, the Messiah]
