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.

Note 1 topic: writing-background
καὶ & ὁ Ἰωάννης
and & ¬the John
Here Mark uses the word And to introduce background information that will help readers understand what happens next. The word does not introduce another event in the story. This background information is found in 1:6–8. Use a natural form in your language for introducing background information. Alternate translation: “Concerning this John, he”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἦν & ἐνδεδυμένος
was & /having/_dressed_in
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. Alternate translation: “clothed himself with”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἦν & ἐνδεδυμένος τρίχας καμήλου
was & /having/_dressed_in hairs ˱of˲_/a/_camel

Note 4 topic: translate-unknown
ζώνην δερματίνην
/a/_belt leather
A leather belt is a thin strap made from animal skin that holds clothing in place. If your readers would not be familiar with this type of clothing, you could use the name of something similar in your area or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: “an animal skin strap” or “a band made from animal skin”
