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-words-phrases

ἢ

Here, the word Or introduces a contrasting alternative to what Jesus has said about how people who ask will receive. Jesus then uses the question form to show that this alternative is wrong. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a false alternative, or you could leave Or untranslated. Alternate translation: [Indeed,] or [As a matter of fact,]

ἢ τίς ἐστιν ἐξ ὑμῶν ἄνθρωπος, ὃν αἰτήσει ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἄρτον, μὴ λίθον ἐπιδώσει αὐτῷ

or which is of you_all /a/_person whom /will_be/_requesting the son ˱of˲_him /a/_loaf not /a/_stone /will_be/_handing_out ˱to˲_him

Alternate translation: [Or what man is there from among you who will give his son a stone when he asks for bread]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

ἢ τίς ἐστιν ἐξ ὑμῶν ἄνθρωπος, ὃν αἰτήσει ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἄρτον, μὴ λίθον ἐπιδώσει αὐτῷ?

or which is of you_all /a/_person whom /will_be/_requesting the son ˱of˲_him /a/_loaf not /a/_stone /will_be/_handing_out ˱to˲_him

Jesus uses a question to show how parents do not give bad things to their children. 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: [There is not a man from among you, of whom his son will ask for bread, and he will give him a stone.] or [No man among you, of whom his son will ask for bread, will give him a stone!]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / hypo

ἢ τίς ἐστιν ἐξ ὑμῶν ἄνθρωπος, ὃν αἰτήσει ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἄρτον, μὴ λίθον ἐπιδώσει αὐτῷ?

or which is of you_all /a/_person whom /will_be/_requesting the son ˱of˲_him /a/_loaf not /a/_stone /will_be/_handing_out ˱to˲_him

Here Jesus uses an imaginary situation to help explain how parents give good things, not bad things, to their children. Use a natural method in your language for introducing an imaginary situation. Alternate translation: [Or imagine a man from among you. When his son asks him for bread, he will not give a stone, will he]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

τίς ἐστιν ἐξ ὑμῶν ἄνθρωπος, ὃν αἰτήσει ὁ υἱὸς αὐτοῦ ἄρτον, μὴ λίθον ἐπιδώσει αὐτῷ

which is of you_all /a/_person whom /will_be/_requesting the son ˱of˲_him /a/_loaf not /a/_stone /will_be/_handing_out ˱to˲_him

Although Jesus uses the example of a man and his son, he does not mean that this example applies only to fathers and sons. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a form that includes all parents and children. Alternate translation: [what parents are there from among you, of whom their child will ask for bread—they will not give their child a stone, will they]
