Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-words-phrases
δὲ
and
Here, the word But introduces the next thing that happened. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next event, or you could leave But untranslated. Alternate translation: “Then”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἐπὶ τῆς θαλάσσης περιπατοῦντα
on the sea walking
See how you translated this phrase in 14:25. Alternate translation: “walking on the surface of the sea” or “miraculously walking on top of the sea”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἐταράχθησαν
/were/_disturbed
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 very nervous” or “were very anxious”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations
λέγοντες, ὅτι φάντασμά ἐστιν
saying ¬that /a/_ghost ˱it˲_is
It may be more natural in your language to have an indirect quotation here. Alternate translation: “saying that he was a ghost,”
Note 5 topic: translate-unknown
φάντασμά
/a/_ghost
Here, the word ghost refers to an spiritual or supernatural being that people see. In Jesus’ culture, when people saw a ghost, they usually assumed that something bad was going to happen. If your readers would not be familiar with this type of unusual experience, you could use the name of something similar in your area or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: “an apparition” or “some powerful and dangerous being”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
ἀπὸ τοῦ φόβου
in ¬the fear
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of fear, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “because they were afraid”
