MARK 10:27 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

παρὰ ἀνθρώποις ἀδύνατον, ἀλλ’ οὐ παρὰ Θεῷ; πάντα γὰρ δυνατὰ παρὰ τῷ Θεῷ

with humans impossible_‹it_is› but not with God all_‹things› for possible_‹are› with ¬the God

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these sentences, since the second sentence gives the reason for the result that the first sentence describes. Alternate translation: [All things are possible with God. Because of that, with men it is impossible, but not with God]

παρὰ ἀνθρώποις & παρὰ Θεῷ & παρὰ τῷ Θεῷ.

with humans & with God & with ¬the God

Alternate translation: [For men … for God … for God]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

ἀνθρώποις

humans

Although the term men is masculine, Jesus is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that makes this clear. Alternate translation: [humans]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἀδύνατον

impossible_‹it_is›

Here Jesus is referring back to what the disciples asked about whether anyone can be saved (see 10:26). If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [being saved is impossible]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ἀλλ’ οὐ παρὰ Θεῷ

but not with God

Jesus 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: [but it is not impossible with God]
