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.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἀποκριθεὶς
answering
Here, the word answering indicates that Peter was responding to what he saw. He was not answering a question. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [in response to seeing those things]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
ἡμᾶς
us
By we, Peter could mean: (1) everyone who was there, including himself, the other two disciples, Jesus, Moses, and Elijah. Alternate translation: [for us all] (2) just himself and the other two disciples. Alternate translation: [for us disciples]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular
θέλεις & σοὶ
˱you˲_˓are˒_wanting & ˱for˲_you
Since Peter is talking to Jesus, the word you is singular throughout this verse.
Note 4 topic: translate-textvariants
ποιήσω
˱I˲_˓will_be˒_making
Many ancient manuscripts read I will make. The ULT follows that reading. Other ancient manuscripts read “let us make.” If a translation of the Bible exists in your region, you may wish to use the reading that it uses. If a translation of the Bible does not exist in your region, you may wish to use the reading of the ULT.
Note 5 topic: translate-unknown
σκηνάς
tents
The term tents means simple, temporary places in which to sit or sleep. Peter probably had in mind that he would build them from the materials available on the mountain such as tree branches. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that refers to this kind of temporary shelter. Alternate translation: [booths]
