MAT 16:7 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: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐν ἑαυτοῖς

among themselves

Here, the phrase among themselves could mean: (1) that the disciples were reasoning with each other. Alternate translation: [with one another] (2) that the disciples were thinking this without saying it. Alternate translation: [within themselves]

Note 2 topic: writing-quotations

λέγοντες, ὅτι ἄρτους οὐκ ἐλάβομεν

saying ¬that loaves not ˱we˲_took

Here, the word translated as because could introduce: (1) what the disciples think might be the reason for why Jesus said what he did about yeast. Alternate translation: [saying, “He said that because we did not take loaves”] (2) what the disciples say. Alternate translation: [saying, “We did not take loaves”]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

λέγοντες, ὅτι ἄρτους οὐκ ἐλάβομεν

saying ¬that loaves not ˱we˲_took

It may be more natural in your language to have an indirect quotation here. Alternate translation: [saying that it was because they did not take loaves]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὅτι

¬that

Here the disciples imply that they are giving a reason for why Jesus said what he did about yeast. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [Jesus has spoken about yeast because]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

οὐκ ἐλάβομεν

not ˱we˲_took

By we, the disciples mean themselves but not Jesus, so use the exclusive form of that word in your translation if your language marks that distinction.
