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 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.

Note 2 topic: translate-symaction
προσεκύνει αὐτῷ
/was/_prostrating ˱to˲_him
In the woman’s culture, bowing down to a person was a way to honor a greater person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could refer to a similar action from your culture, or you could explain what bowing down means. Alternate translation: [prostrated herself before him] or [bowed down to him in respect]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / imperative
βοήθει
/be/_giving_help
This is an imperative, but it should be translated as a polite request rather than as a command. It may be helpful to add an expression such as “please” to make this clear. Alternate translation: [I ask that you help]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
βοήθει
/be/_giving_help
Here, the command is singular because the woman is speaking to Jesus.
