MAT 14:35 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—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 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 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.

SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 14:22–36: Jesus walked on the water

In this section, Jesus showed that he has power over nature and sickness. When the disciples were in a boat during a storm, Jesus walked on the surface of the lake, and he calmed the storm. This caused the disciples to believe that Jesus was the Son of God, which was a title that the Jews used for the Christ. When they arrived at the shore, Jesus also healed many sick people.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

Walking on Water (NET)

Jesus walks on top of water

Jesus showed his power over nature/creation

There are parallel passages for this section in Mark 6:45–56 and John 6:15–21.

14:35a

And when the men of that place recognized Jesus,

When the men who lived there saw Jesus, they knew who he was. So
The men of that area saw that Jesus was there. So

the men of that place: There are two ways to interpret the Greek word that the BSB translates as men:

It refers specifically to men. The Greek word is the more specific term “males,” so it should be translated as “men.” For example:
when the men of that place (NIV) (BSB, RSV, NIV, ESV, NASB, GW, JBP, KJV)
It refers generally to people. For example:
When the people there (NCV) (GNT, NJB, NRSV, CEV, NET, REB, NCV, NLT)

It is recommended that you follow interpretation (1). Matthew uses the specific Greek word for men rather than the more general word often translated as “people.” It would be the men who would be available and more likely to send messengers throughout the region. The women would most likely be in their homes or buying at the market.

This entire phrase refers to the men of the town and region of Gennesaret.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

the men who lived there

the local men

the men there (GW)

recognized Jesus: The verb recognized refers to seeing and knowing who a person is. The men had seen Jesus before, so when they saw him this time, they knew who he was.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

identified Jesus

saw Jesus, they knew who he was

saw him and said that he was Jesus

14:35b

they sent word to all the surrounding region.

they sent a message to the people in all the nearby areas,
they spread the news all around there that Jesus had come.

they sent word: The Greek word that the BSB translates as sent word indicates that the men sent a message saying that Jesus was there.

Here are some other ways to translate this verb:

they sent a message

sent messengers (GW)

they told people (NCV)

they spread the news

to all the surrounding region: This phrase refers to the surrounding areas. It was likely those places that were a day’s walk away or less.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

to the whole surrounding area that Jesus had come

all around there that Jesus had come (NCV)

14:35c

People brought all the sick to Him

and the people brought all their sick people to him.
The people from the nearby areas brought to Jesus all those who were not well.

all the sick: This phrase refers to anyone who had something wrong with them, either physical, emotional, or mental. This phrase includes those controlled by a demon.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

those who had something wrong with them

those who were not well

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

οἱ ἄνδρες

the men

Matthew uses a word that refers specifically to men. However, the gender of these people is not important for the story, so you could use a word or phrase that refers to both men and women. Alternate translation: [the people]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τοῦ τόπου ἐκείνου

¬the ˱of˲_place that

Here, the phrase that place refers to the area named “Gennesaret” (see [14:34](../14/34.md)). You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [of the region of Gennesaret]

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

προσήνεγκαν

brought

Here, the pronoun they refers to the people who lived in that surrounding area. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that refers to these people. Alternate translation: [people from that whole area brought]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

πάντας

all

Matthew says all here as a generalization for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different way to express the emphasis. Alternate translation: [many of]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τοὺς κακῶς ἔχοντας

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ἐπιγνόντες αὐτόν οἱ ἄνδρες τοῦ τόπου ἐκείνου ἀπέστειλαν εἰς ὅλην τήν περίχωρον ἐκείνην καί προσήνεγκαν αὐτῷ πάντας τούς κακῶς ἔχοντας)

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of sickness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [the sick people]
