MARK 10:20 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—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 10:17–31: Jesus taught about entering the kingdom of God

A young man asked Jesus how he could obtain eternal life. Jesus gave an answer that was well known to Jews. He told the man to obey God’s commands. The man said that he had been obeying God’s commands since he was a child.

Jesus then told the young man that he still needed to do one thing (10:21). He needed to give away his riches and follow Jesus. But the young man did not follow Jesus’ advice. The man was rich (10:22). He valued his riches too highly to give them up to follow Jesus.

Jesus used the young man as an example to explain that it is hard for rich people to devote themselves to God and his kingdom (10:23–25). He said that unless God makes it possible, neither a rich person nor anyone else is able to enter heaven (10:27).

Jesus promised that those who had left their possessions and family behind to serve him would receive great rewards (10:29–31).

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

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

Riches hinder rather than help in seeking to enter the kingdom of God

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 19:16–30 and Luke 18:18–30.

10:20

“Teacher,” he replied, “all these I have kept from my youth.”

He said, “Teacher, ever since I was young I have obeyed all those commandments.”
The man said, “Teacher, all of those laws/commands I have followed from childhood onward.”

Teacher: The Greek word that the BSB translates as Teacher is the same word as in 10:17c. It was a polite title for a Jewish religious leader.

he replied: The BSB places the phrase he replied in the middle of the man’s words. In Greek, these words occur at the beginning of 10:20. Put the words he replied in a place that is natural in your language.

all these: The word these refers to the commands in 10:19. It may be natural to make this explicit. For example:

all of these commands

This phrase is emphasized in the Greek text. If you have a natural way to emphasize this phrase, you may want to do so.

I have kept: In this context, the phrase have kept means “obeyed.” For example, the GNT says:

I have obeyed

from my youth: The expression from my youth means “from childhood onward.” The young man began to obey the commands when he was a young boy and continued to obey them to the present time. The GNT translates this as:

ever since I was young
