MAT 7:29 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-logic-result

γὰρ

for

Here, the word for introduces the reason why “the crowds were astonished by his teaching” (7:28). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a reason, or you could leave for untranslated. Alternate translation: [since]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐξουσίαν ἔχων

authority having

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of authority, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [one having been authorized]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

οὐχ ὡς οἱ γραμματεῖς αὐτῶν

not as the scribes ˱of˲_them

Matthew is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [not as their scribes taught them]
