Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). 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.

SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 1:35–39: Jesus prayed alone and then preached in other villages

In this section Jesus got up very early in the morning and went out of the town alone to pray. When his disciples found him, they implied that he should come back to town and help more people. Jesus told them that he must go and preach in other villages. Then he and his disciples went to other villages so that he could preach there also.

It is good to translate this section before you decide on a heading for it.

Here are some other ideas for this section heading:

Jesus prays in an isolated place

Jesus preached in other villages in Galilee

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 4:23 and Luke 4:42–44.

1:36

Simon and his companions went to look for Him,

As for Simon and his companions, when they saw that Jesus was not there, they went and searched carefully for him.
Later, Simon and the others woke up, and they looked for Jesus anxiously.

In this verse the focus of the story changes briefly from Jesus in a solitary place to Simon and his companions back at the house. In some languages it may be necessary to indicate this change of focus in some way. For example:

Now as for Simon and his companions

Simon and his companions went to look for Him: The Greek text does not say when Simon and his companions went to look for Jesus. The previous verse implies that they went after they woke up and discovered that Jesus was not in the house. In some languages some or all of this implied information may be clear from the context of the story. In other languages it may be clearer and more natural to make some of this information explicit. For example:

Later Simon and the others went out (NLT)

When Simon and his companions woke up and saw that Jesus was not there, they went…

Simon and his companions: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as Simon and his companions is literally “Simon and the ones with him.” Simon’s companions may have been the other disciples, but others may also have been included. This phrase may be translated in several ways. For example:

Simon and his friends (GW)

Simon and the others (NLT)

went to look for Him: In this context, the Greek verb that the BSB translates as look for means “search diligently.” It may also imply that Simon and his companions searched anxiously.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οἱ μετ’ αὐτοῦ

the_‹ones› with him

Here Mark is referring to other people who were there with Simon in the house, including Andrew, James, and John and probably other people who were staying there. If it would be helpful in your language, you could refer more explicitly to people who were staying at the house of Simon. Alternate translation: [the other people staying in his house]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

κατεδίωξεν

searched_for

Here Mark speaks as if Simon and the ones with him were hunting Jesus down or trying to capture him. He uses the word pursued as an overstatement to emphasize how urgently they were looking for Jesus. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different way to express the emphasis. Alternate translation: [looked everywhere] or [diligently looked]
