MARK 12:25 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-words-phrases

γὰρ

for

Here, the word For introduces an explanation related to how the Sadducees have been “led astray” (see 12:24). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces an explanation, or you could leave For untranslated. Alternate translation: “In fact,” or “What you should know is that”

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

ἀναστῶσιν, οὔτε γαμοῦσιν & εἰσὶν

˱they˲_/may/_rise_up neither ˱they˲_/are/_marrying & ˱they˲_are

Both uses of the pronoun they refer to men and women in general. If it would be helpful in your language, you could clarify this in your translation. Alternate translation: “when men and women rise … they neither marry … they are”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἀναστῶσιν

˱they˲_/may/_rise_up

Here, the word rise refers to someone who died coming back to life. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable idiom or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “they are restored to life”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

ἐκ νεκρῶν

from /the/_dead

Jesus is using the adjective dead as a noun in order to refer to all people who are dead. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you could translate this with a noun phrase. Alternate translation: “from among the dead people” or “from the corpses”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οὔτε γαμοῦσιν οὔτε γαμίζονται

neither ˱they˲_/are/_marrying nor /are_being/_betrothed

In Jesus’ culture, it was customary to talk about men marrying and women being given in marriage. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: “men do not marry and women are not given in marriage” or “men and women do not get married”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

γαμίζονται

/are_being/_betrothed

If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you need to say who did the action, Jesus implies that it is the people’s parents. Alternate translation: “do their parents give them in marriage”

Note 7 topic: grammar-connect-logic-contrast

ἀλλ’

but

What follows the word but here is in contrast to what is currently the case on earth. Jesus is using this contrast to show the Sadducees that they were mistaken to think that the existence of men and women in heaven would follow the same pattern or order of things as had their former lives on earth. Use a natural way in your language for introducing a contrast. Alternate translation: “but rather”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / simile

ἀλλ’ εἰσὶν ὡς ἄγγελοι ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς

but ˱they˲_are like angels in the heavens

Jesus is saying that when people rise from the dead, they are like angels because neither of them marry. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “they are like angels in the heavens, since they too do not marry”
