MAT 20:3 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 / go

ἐξελθὼν

˓having˒_come_out

In a context such as this, your language might say “come” instead of gone. Alternate translation: [having come out]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

περὶ τρίτην ὥραν

about ˓the˒_third hour

In this culture, people began counting the hours each day beginning around daybreak, at about six o’clock in the morning. So, the third hour would be around nine o’clock in the morning. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this in the way the people of your culture reckon time. Alternate translation: [about 9:00 AM]

Note 3 topic: translate-ordinal

τρίτην ὥραν

˓the˒_third hour

If your language does not use ordinal numbers, you could use a cardinal number here or an equivalent expression. Alternate translation: [hour three]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἑστῶτας ἐν τῇ ἀγορᾷ ἀργούς

˓having˒_stood in the marketplace idle

In Jesus’ culture, people would wait in the marketplace when they wanted to find work. If they had not yet found work, they would be standing idle. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [standing in the marketplace still looking for work]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τῇ ἀγορᾷ

the marketplace

A marketplace is a large, open-air area where people buy and sell goods. If your readers would not be familiar with this type of area, you could use the name of something similar in your area or you could use a more general term. See how you translated this word in [11:16](../11/16.md). Alternate translation: [the town square] or [the park]
