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.

9:3 Does he think he’s God? God alone could forgive sins (Ps 103:3; Isa 43:25; Jer 50:20). The teachers of religious law failed to comprehend Jesus’ mission as God’s incarnate Son (Matt 3:17; 11:25-27). As God’s Messiah (1:1; 11:2-6), he was saving mankind (8:17; 26:26-28).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / exclamations
ἰδού
behold
Here, the word behold draws the attention of the audience and asks them to listen carefully. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express behold with a word or phrase that asks the audience to listen, or you could draw the audience’s attention in another way. Alternate translation: [it happened] or [immediately]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἐν ἑαυτοῖς
among themselves
Here, the phrase among themselves could mean that: (1) the scribes said these words to themselves, not out loud. Alternate translation: [in themselves] or [to themselves] (2) the scribes said these words quietly to other scribes. Alternate translation: [to each other]
Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns
οὗτος
this_‹man›
Here the scribes refer to Jesus by using the phrase This one. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make the reference more explicit. Alternate translation: [This man] or [This Jesus]
