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 1 topic: writing-newevent
τότε
then
Here, the word Then introduces the next major event in the story. It happened sometime soon after Jesus spoke the words recorded in the previous verses. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next event, or you could leave Then untranslated. Alternate translation: [Soon after that,] or [After Jesus said those things,]
Note 2 topic: writing-participants
προσῆλθεν αὐτῷ ἡ μήτηρ τῶν υἱῶν Ζεβεδαίου
approached ˱to˲_him the mother ˱of˲_the sons ˱of˲_Zebedee
Here Matthew introduces the mother of the sons of Zebedee as a new character in the story. Use a natural form in your language for introducing a new character. Alternate translation: [the mother of the sons of Zebedee was there. She approached him]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τῶν υἱῶν Ζεβεδαίου
˱of˲_the sons ˱of˲_Zebedee
Here Matthew refers to James and John, who were the sons of Zebedee. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [of James and John, the sons of Zebedee,]
Note 4 topic: translate-symaction
προσκυνοῦσα
prostrating
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: [prostrating herself] or [bowing down to him in respect]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations
αἰτοῦσά τι παρ’ αὐτοῦ
requesting something from him
It may be more natural in your language to have a direct quotation here. Alternate translation: [asking, ‘Please do something for me.’]
