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.

4.3 Et accedens. Quia esuries est signum infirmitatis. Et sic nobis in abstinentia non deest tentatio. Per exteriorem infirmitatem Christum tentat in quo nullam legem peccati inveniebat. Si Filius Dei es. Aliud horum explorantis est, aliud tentantis, dum Deum confiteri videtur, et hujusmodi illudere conatur. Sic enim tentat ut exploret quod veretur. Sic explorat, ut tentando decipiat. Si Filius Dei es. Noverat Filium Dei venisse in mundum, seu per prophetas seu per angelos nuntiantes, seu per Joannem demonstrantem: sed quia humilia in eo videbat, quod de Deitate suspicatus est, ex superbia ei in dubium venit. Unde et callide exquirit: Nec indignum fuit Christum tentari qui venerat occidi, ut tentationes superando nobis potestatem daret superandi tentationes, sicut sua morte abstulit nostram mortalitatem. RAB. Christus non nisi post baptismum se tentari permisit, insinuans ad se euntes graviores passuros, etc., usque ad Christus vero sola suggestione tentatus fuit: quia delectatio peccati mentem ejus non momordit.

When/But_if Son of_God es. Aliud horum explorantis it_is, something_else tentantis, dum God confiteri videtur, and huyusmodi illudere conatur. So because tentat as exploret that veretur. So explorat, as tentando decipiat. When/But_if Son of_God es. Noverat Son of_God venisse in the_world, seu through prophetas seu through angelos nuntiantes, seu through Yoannem demonstrantem: but because humilia in eo videbat, that about of_Godtate suspicatus it_is, from superbia to_him in dubium venit.

4:1-11 Parallels between Adam and Jesus are obvious in this account of Jesus’ temptation. Jesus is the second Adam (see Rom 5:12-19) and the second Israel (Matt 2:15). In contrast to the ancient Israelites, he fulfilled Israel’s history by successfully wandering through the desert without sinning. He proved himself the obedient Son of God by defeating Satan in spiritual combat. And because he underwent temptation himself as a human, Jesus is able to sympathize with the temptations we face (see Heb 2:14-18; 4:15) and help us overcome them as he did (1 Cor 10:13).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ὁ πειράζων
the_‹one› tempting
Here, the phrase the one tempting refers to the devil, whom Matthew already mentioned in 4:1. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “the one tempting, the devil,” or “the devil, who was tempting him,”
Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-condition-hypothetical
εἰ Υἱὸς εἶ τοῦ Θεοῦ, εἰπὲ ἵνα οἱ λίθοι οὗτοι ἄρτοι γένωνται
if /the/_Son ˱you˲_are ¬the ˱of˲_God speak that the stones these loaves /may/_become
The devil is suggesting that this is a hypothetical condition, that the stones will only become loaves if Jesus is the Son of God. The devil is speaking as if it is uncertain who Jesus is in order to challenge him to do this miracle to prove that he really is the Son of God. Use a natural form in your language for introducing something that could be true. Alternate translation: “Prove that you are the Son of God by speaking so that these stones might become loaves”
Note 3 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples
Υἱὸς & τοῦ Θεοῦ
/the/_Son & ¬the ˱of˲_God
The phrase Son of God is an important title for Jesus.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
εἰπὲ ἵνα οἱ λίθοι οὗτοι ἄρτοι γένωνται
speak that the stones these loaves /may/_become
Here the devil wants Jesus to tell the stones to become bread. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “tell these stones to become bread” or “speak words that make these stones become bread”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations
εἰπὲ ἵνα οἱ λίθοι οὗτοι ἄρτοι γένωνται
speak that the stones these loaves /may/_become
It may be more natural in your language to have a direct quotation here. Alternate translation: “speak to these stones, ‘Become bread!’”
