Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). 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.

SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 10:1–12: Jesus taught about divorce

Some Pharisees came to Jesus. They wanted to try to make him say something wrong that would damage his reputation. That is why they asked Jesus about his teaching on divorce. Some Pharisees taught that a man could divorce his wife for any reason. Other Pharisees taught that a man could only divorce his wife if she committed sexual sin. Jesus agreed with the second group of Pharisees, but he added that God created marriage and he does not like divorce.

It is good to translate this section before you decide on a heading for it.

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

Jesus answered a question about divorce

Divorce (NIV)

Jesus’ teaching about divorce

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 19:1–9 and Luke 16:18.

10:10a

When they were back inside the house,

¶ Later, in the house, (NCV)
¶ Later, when he/Jesus was alone with his followers in a house,

When they were back inside the house: The phrase When they were back inside the house refers to sometime after the conversation in 10:1–9. It probably refers to later that day when Jesus and the disciples were in a house together away from the crowds and the Pharisees.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

Later, in the house (NCV)

Later, when he was alone with his disciples in the house (NLT)

back: The Greek word that the BSB translates as back is more literally “again.” There are two ways to interpret this word:

It goes with 10:10b and refers to the disciples again asking Jesus about divorce. For example, the NCV says:
his followers asked Jesus again about the question of divorce (RSV, NJB, NASB, KJV, NLT, NCV, JBP, ESV)
It goes with 10:10a and refers to Jesus and his disciples being in the house again. For example, the NET says:
In the house once again (BSB, NIV, GNT, NET, REB, CEV)

It is recommended that you follow interpretation (1). However, if a major language version in your area follows interpretation (2), you may follow that. Both interpretations are well supported.

The Pharisees had asked Jesus about divorce. Here the disciples also asked about divorce. The word again does not mean that the disciples had previously asked Jesus about divorce. The disciples wanted to know more about his teaching in 10:1–9.

Here are some other ways to translate the word again:

the disciples also asked Jesus about this

the disciples asked Jesus more about this

the house: The words the house do not refer to any particular house that has been mentioned before. It may be more natural in your language to use an expression that does not refer to a particular house. For example:

a house

indoors (REB)

10:10b

the disciples asked Jesus about this matter.

the disciples began asking him again/further about that teaching.
they also were asking him about what he said earlier.

the disciples: The Greek word that the BSB translates as disciples means “learners” who are in a relationship with a teacher. The learners commit themselves to their teacher in order to learn from him and live according to his teaching and example. In the New Testament disciples often lived with their teacher and followed him wherever he went.

Here are some other ways to translate this:

students/learners

apprentices

followers

See how you translated this term at 2:15b. See also disciple in the Glossary for more information.

asked Jesus: The Greek form of the verb asked here probably indicates that several disciples asked Jesus questions.

Here are some other ways to translate this:

the disciples were asking him further about that teaching

the disciples began questioning Him about this again (NASB)

about this matter: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as about this matter refers to the issue of divorce.

Here are some other ways to translate this:

about this issue

about what he had said (CEV)

about the question of divorce (NCV)

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν πάλιν, οἱ μαθηταὶ περὶ τούτου ἐπηρώτων αὐτόν

in (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί εἰς τήν οἰκίαν πάλιν οἱ μαθηταί περί τούτου ἐπηρώτων αὐτόν)

Here, the word again could go with: (1) in the house. Alternate translation: [again in the house, the disciples were asking him about this] (2) asked. Alternate translation: [in the house, the disciples were asking him again about this]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

εἰς τὴν οἰκίαν

in (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί εἰς τήν οἰκίαν πάλιν οἱ μαθηταί περί τούτου ἐπηρώτων αὐτόν)

Here, the phrase the house refers to the place where Jesus and his disciples were staying. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [in the house in which they were living]

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

τούτου

this

The word this refers to the conversation that Jesus just had with the Pharisees about divorce. If it would be helpful in your language, you could say that explicitly. Alternate translation: [the conversation he had just had with the Pharisees]
