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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ὃς ἐὰν δέξηται ἓν παιδίον τοιοῦτο ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί μου, ἐμὲ δέχεται

whoever ¬if /may/_receive one little_child such in the name ˱of˲_me me /is/_receiving

Here Jesus speaks as if people who receive a little child like this were actually receiving him. He means that these people, by receiving the little child, show that they would receive Jesus too. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea in simile form or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [whoever receives a little child like this in my name, it is as if he or she received me] or [whoever receives a little child like this in my name proves that he or she would receive me]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἓν παιδίον τοιοῦτο

one little_child such

Here Jesus is again referring to the little child whom he set in their midst (see 18:2). If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [a little child like the one standing here] or [a little child, like this one that I summoned,]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόματί μου

in the name ˱of˲_me

Here, the phrase in my name could mean that: (1) the person receives a little child because the person follows Jesus. Alternate translation: [because that person is acting as my disciple] (2) the person receives the little child because the little child follows Jesus. Alternate translation: [because the child is my disciple]
