MAT 14:2 Parallel Verse View

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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

οὗτός

this

The pronoun This refers to Jesus. If this is not clear for your readers, you could refer to him more directly. Alternate translation: [This person] or [This Jesus]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

αὐτὸς ἠγέρθη

he ˓was˒_raised

Here, the word raised refers to someone who died coming back back to life. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable idiom or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [He has been restored to life]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

αὐτὸς ἠγέρθη

he ˓was˒_raised

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. If you need to say who did the action, Herod could be implying that: (1) God did it. Alternate translation: [God has raised him] (2) John himself did it. Alternate translation: [He has risen]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

ἀπὸ τῶν νεκρῶν

from the dead

Paul is using the adjective dead as a noun in order to refer to all people who are dead. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this with a noun phrase. Alternate translation: [from among the dead people] or [from the corpses]

Note 5 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

διὰ τοῦτο

because_of this

Here, the phrase because of this introduces the result of what Herod thinks about John being raised from the dead. Herod thinks that Jesus has powers because he has already been raised from the dead. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [because he has been raised,]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

αἱ δυνάμεις ἐνεργοῦσιν ἐν αὐτῷ

the miracles ˓are˒_working in him

Here Herod speaks as if the powers were people that could work in Jesus. He means that Jesus is powerful and can do powerful things. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [he has his powers] or [he is very powerful]
