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: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τὸ βάπτισμα τὸ Ἰωάννου & ἦν

the baptism ¬which ˱of˲_John & ˱it˲_was

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of baptism, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “When John baptized people, was it”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

τὸ βάπτισμα τὸ Ἰωάννου

the baptism ¬which ˱of˲_John

Here, Jesus is using the possessive form to describe a kind of baptism that was performed by John. If this is not clear in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: “the baptism that John performed”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἐξ οὐρανοῦ

from heaven

Here, heaven represents God because it is where he dwells. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “from God”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

ἀνθρώπων

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 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐξ οὐρανοῦ & ἢ ἐξ ἀνθρώπων

from heaven & or from humans

Here Jesus is asking about where John’s authority came from. He indicates that it could be from God in heaven or from men on earth. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “authorized by God from heaven or by men on earth”
