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: writing-quotations

λέγων

saying

Consider natural ways of introducing direct quotations in your language. Alternate translation: [and he said]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

τί ὑμῖν δοκεῖ περὶ τοῦ Χριστοῦ?

what ˱to˲_you_all /is/_supposing concerning the Messiah

Jesus is using the question form to get the attention of the Pharisees and to bring up the topic of the Christ. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: [I am going to ask you what you think about the Christ.] or [Tell me what you think about the Christ!]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τίνος υἱός ἐστιν

˱of˲_whom son ˱he˲_is

Here, the word son means a male descendant. Jesus is asking about an important ancestor of the Christ, not the direct father of the Christ. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [Whose descendant is he] or [From whom is he descended]

Note 4 topic: translate-tense

λέγουσιν

˱they˲_/are/_saying

To call attention to a development in the story, Matthew uses the present tense in past narration. If it would not be natural to do that in your language, you could use the past tense in your translation. Alternate translation: [They said]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

τοῦ Δαυείδ

the ˱of˲_the_‹son› (Some words not found in SR-GNT: λέγων τί ὑμῖν δοκεῖ περὶ τοῦ Χριστοῦ τίνος υἱός ἐστιν λέγουσιν αὐτῷ τοῦ Δαυίδ)

Jesus is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [He is David’s son]
