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.

1:22 The teachers of religious law were professional scribes—scholars who taught, copied, and interpreted Jewish law for the people. They were primarily associated with the Pharisees. The scribes’ authority was derived from quoting other scribes (cp. Matt 5:21-48). Jesus’ teaching caused amazement because he spoke and acted with real authority (see Mark 1:27; 5:20; 6:2; 7:37; 10:24-32; 11:18; 15:5).
Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result
καὶ ἐξεπλήσσοντο ἐπὶ τῇ διδαχῇ αὐτοῦ; ἦν γὰρ διδάσκων αὐτοὺς ὡς ἐξουσίαν ἔχων, καὶ οὐχ ὡς οἱ γραμματεῖς
and ˱they˲_/were_being/_astonished at the teaching ˱of˲_him ˱he˲_was for teaching them as_‹one› authority having and not as the scribes
If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these clauses, since the second clause gives the reason for the result that the first clause describes. Alternate translation: “And he was teaching them as having authority and not as the scribes. So, they were astonished at his teaching”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἐξεπλήσσοντο ἐπὶ τῇ διδαχῇ αὐτοῦ
˱they˲_/were_being/_astonished at the teaching ˱of˲_him
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, it is clear from the context that it was what Jesus taught. Alternate translation: “his teaching astonished them”
Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns
ἐξεπλήσσοντο
˱they˲_/were_being/_astonished
The pronoun they refers to the people who in the “synagogue” (see 1:21). If this is not clear for your readers, you could refer to these people more directly. Alternate translation: “those who were in the synagogue were astonished”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
ἐπὶ τῇ διδαχῇ αὐτοῦ
at the teaching ˱of˲_him
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of teaching, you could express the same idea in another way. Mark could be focusing primarily on: (1) the way in which Jesus taught. Alternate translation: “at how he taught” (2) what Jesus taught. Alternate translation: “at what he taught”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
ἐξουσίαν ἔχων
authority having
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of authority, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “one having been authorized”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
καὶ οὐχ ὡς οἱ γραμματεῖς
and and not as the scribes
Mark 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. If you use the following alternate translation, you may need to put a comma before it. Alternate translation: “and he was not teaching them as the scribes were teaching them”
