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

τὴν πρωτοκλισίαν & τὰς πρωτοκαθεδρίας

the best_place & the best_seats

Here Jesus speaks of the places and seats for the most important people as if they were first in a sequence. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the important places … the important seats”

Note 2 topic: translate-ordinal

τὴν πρωτοκλισίαν & τὰς πρωτοκαθεδρίας

the best_place & the best_seats

If your language does not use ordinal numbers, you could use cardinal numbers here or equivalent expressions. Alternate translation: “the number one places … the number one seats”
