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 / doublet

ἐν τῇ ἀναστάσει, ὅταν ἀναστῶσιν

in the resurrection (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐν τῇ ἀναστάσει τίνος αὐτῶν ἔσται γυνή οἱ γὰρ ἑπτὰ ἔσχον αὐτὴν γυναῖκα)

The terms resurrection and rise again mean similar things. The Sadducees are using the two terms together for emphasis. If it would be clearer for your readers, you could express the emphasis with a single phrase. Alternate translation: [When they rise again] or [In the resurrection]

ἐν τῇ ἀναστάσει

in the resurrection

The Sadducees did not actually believe that there would be a resurrection. If it would be helpful in your language, you could indicate this explicitly. Alternate translation: [In the supposed resurrection] or [If there is a resurrection]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

ἐν τῇ ἀναστάσει

in the resurrection

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of resurrection, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [When people resurrect]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἀναστῶσιν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐν τῇ ἀναστάσει τίνος αὐτῶν ἔσται γυνή οἱ γὰρ ἑπτὰ ἔσχον αὐτὴν γυναῖκα)

Here, the phrase rise again refers to people who died coming back to life. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [they will be restored to life] or [they will resurrect]

Note 4 topic: writing-pronouns

ἀναστῶσιν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐν τῇ ἀναστάσει τίνος αὐτῶν ἔσται γυνή οἱ γὰρ ἑπτὰ ἔσχον αὐτὴν γυναῖκα)

Here, the pronoun they refers to people in general. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that refers generally to people. Alternate translation: [men and women rise again]

Note 5 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

γὰρ

for

Here, the word For introduces a reason why the Sadducees ask their question. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a reason or basis for a question, or you could leave For untranslated. Alternate translation: [We ask this question because] or [This is a problem, since]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

οἱ & ἑπτὰ

the & seven

The Sadducees are using the number seven as a noun to mean the seven brothers. See how you expressed the idea in 12:22. Alternate translation: [all seven of the brothers]
