MAT 24:40 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 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: grammar-connect-time-simultaneous

τότε

then

Here, the word Then introduces something that will happen at the same time as the coming of the Son of Man. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different word or phrase that introduces something that happens at the same time as something else. Alternate translation: “At that time,”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo

ἔσονται δύο ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ; εἷς παραλαμβάνεται, καὶ εἷς ἀφίεται

will_be two in the field one /is_being/_taken and one /is_being/_left

Here Jesus uses two men in one field as a hypothetical example. He does not mean that this will happen to only two men in one specific field. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a form that introduces a hypothetical situation. Alternate translation: “two, for example, will be in a field—one is taken, and one is left”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἔσονται δύο ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ

will_be two in the field

Here Jesus implies that these two are working in the field. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “two men will be working in the field”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

δύο & εἷς & εἷς

two & one & one

Jesus is using the numbers two and one as nouns to mean two men or one man. Your language may use numbers in the same way. If not, you could translate these words with equivalent phrases. Alternate translation: “two men … one man … one man”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

εἷς παραλαμβάνεται, καὶ εἷς ἀφίεται

one /is_being/_taken and one /is_being/_left

Here, Jesus describes a separation between two men working in a field. He could mean that: (1) the one who is taken will be with God, while the one who is left will be punished. Alternate translation: “one is taken to be with God, and one is left to be punished” (2) the one who is taken will be punished, while the one who is left will be with God. Alternate translation: “one is taken to be punished, and one is left to be with God”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

εἷς παραλαμβάνεται, καὶ εἷς ἀφίεται

one /is_being/_taken and one /is_being/_left

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who will do the action, it is clear from the context that it will be God. Alternate translation: “God will take one, and he will leave one”

Note 7 topic: translate-tense

εἷς παραλαμβάνεται, καὶ εἷς ἀφίεται

one /is_being/_taken and one /is_being/_left

Here Jesus uses the present tense to describe something that will happen in the future. He does this because it was a vivid way to tell a story in his language. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use whatever tense would be natural for telling a story about what will happen. Alternate translation: “one will be taken, and one will be left”

Jerusalem during the New Testament

By the time of the New Testament, the ancient city of Jerusalem had been transformed from the relatively small fortress of David’s day (2 Samuel 5:6-10; 1 Chronicles 11:4-9) into a major city with a Temple that rivaled the greatest temples in the Roman world. Just prior to Jesus’ birth, Herod the Great completely renovated and expanded the Temple of the Lord, and he also built a lavish palace for himself, various pools (where Jesus occasionally performed healings), public buildings, and military citadels, including the Antonia Fortress, which overlooked the Temple. Wealthy residents, including the high priest, occupied extravagant houses in the Upper City, while the poorer residents were relegated to less desirable areas like the Lower City. The Essene Quarter was so named because many of its residents belonged to the Essenes, a strict religious sect that was known for its careful attention to the law of Moses. Across the Kidron Valley lay the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus often met with his disciples (Matthew 26:36-46; Mark 14:32-53; John 18:1-14). Further east was the Mount of Olives, where Jesus began his triumphal entry one week before his crucifixion (Matthew 21:1-11; Mark 11:1-11; Luke 19:28-40; John 12:12-19), taught his disciples about the last days (Matthew 24-25; Mark 13), and eventually ascended to heaven after his resurrection (Luke 24:50-53; Acts 1:1-11).
