Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not necessarily 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 Bible-translators and others 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 early looks into the drafted 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 13:44–50: Jesus told some more parables about the kingdom of God

In this section, Jesus told three more parables. Each parable teaches something about the kingdom of God. The first parable tells a story about a treasure, and the second parable tells a story about a pearl. Both parables show that being in God’s kingdom is worth much more than all a person has. The third parable tells a story about a fishing net. Its meaning is similar to the parable of the weeds. It shows that good and bad people will live together for a while. But in the end, God will judge all people.

If the major language translation in your area breaks each parable into a separate section, you may want to follow that example. For example: 13:44 is “The parable of the hidden treasure,” 13:45–46 is “The parable of the pearl,” and 13:47–50 is “The parable of the fish net.”

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

Three parables

Parables about a treasure, a pearl, and a fishing net

These three parables occur only in Matthew.

Paragraph 13:47–50

The parable of the net in this paragraph has a similar meaning to the parable of the weeds. In both parables, Jesus told us that good and bad people will live together for a while. But in the end, the angels will separate them.

13:49a

So will it be at the end of the age:

It will be that way at the end of this time on earth.
That is how it will be like at the end of the world.

So will it be: This clause indicates that 13:49b–50 explains the parable in 13:47–48. The Greek word that the BSB translates as So means “even so,” “like that,” or “in the same way.” It does not mean “therefore.”

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

The same thing will happen (GW)

That is the way it will be (NLT)

at the end of the age: This phrase refers to the day when God will judge the people of the world. This same phrase occurs in 13:40b.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

at the end of the world (NCV)

at the end of this time on earth

13:49b

The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous,

The angels will come and separate/divide the evil people from the people who do what is right/good.
The angels will go and will take/pick the bad people from among the good people.

The angels will come: The Greek verb that the BSB translates as will come is literally “will go out.” In the context of 13:41a where Jesus sends out the angels, this verb probably means that the angels will go out from heaven.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

the angels will go out (GNT)

and separate: This verb refers to separating or dividing things into groups. In this context, the angels will separate or pick out evil people from among good people.

Here are some other ways to translate this verb:

divide

pick out

the wicked: This word describes people who do evil deeds as a way of life.

Here are some other ways to translate this word:

evil people (NCV)

bad people

the righteous: This word describes people who do what is right and good. They follow God’s rules/commands.

Here are some other ways to translate this word:

those who do what is right

good people

This word also occurs in 13:43a.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἐν τῇ συντελείᾳ τοῦ αἰῶνος

in the completion ˱of˲_the age

See how you translated the phrase the end of the age in [13:39](../13/39.md). Alternate translation: [during the end of the world] or [at the moment in the future when the current way of doing things will cease]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐξελεύσονται οἱ ἄγγελοι

˓will_be˒_coming_out the angels

Jesus does not say where the angels go out from. Jesus and his audience would have known that the angels went out from God’s presence in heaven. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [The angels will go out from God’s presence] or [The angels will go out from heaven]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / go

ἐξελεύσονται

˓will_be˒_coming_out

In a context such as this, your language might say “come” instead of go. Alternate translation: [will come out]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

τοὺς πονηροὺς & τῶν δικαίων

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Οὕτως ἔσται ἐν τῇ συντελείᾳ τοῦ αἰῶνος ἐξελεύσονται οἱ ἄγγελοι καί ἀφοριοῦσιν τούς πονηρούς ἐκ μέσου τῶν δικαιῶν)

Jesus is using the adjectives wicked and righteous as nouns to mean people who are wicked or righteous. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate these words with equivalent phrases. Alternate translation: [the wicked people … the righteous people]
