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 3:1–6: Jesus healed a man on the rest day and angered the Pharisees

In this section, Mark continued to tell about how the Pharisees opposed Jesus. The Pharisees had decided that healing a person on the Sabbath was work. The Jewish religious law prohibited work on the Sabbath. So the Pharisees criticized Jesus because he worked on the Sabbath.

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

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

The Man with a Paralyzed Hand (GNT)

Jesus Heals on the Sabbath (NLT)

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 12:9–14 and Luke 6:6–11.

Paragraph 3:1–6

Verse 3:1 provides the background for the story that is told in 3:2–6. It introduces the people in the story and the place where it happened.

3:1a

Once again Jesus entered the synagogue,

¶ On another day/occasion when he/Jesus entered the synagogue,
¶ One other Sabbath/rest day, Jesus went into the meeting place.

Once again: The Greek word that the BSB translates as Once again is literally “again.” This indicates that the story in 3:1–6 happened on a different occasion or day than the previous story did. The context indicates that it was another Sabbath day.

Several stories in Mark have happened on a Sabbath day. This is another story that happened on a Sabbath.

Here are some other ways to translate this:

On another Sabbath

One other Sabbath day

Translate “Sabbath” here in the same way you did in 1:21b.

the synagogue: A synagogue was a building where Jews gathered to pray, read scripture, teach their beliefs, and worship. The Jews also gathered there for cultural activities. There was only one temple (in Jerusalem), but each Jewish community had a synagogue. In this context the phrase the synagogue probably refers to the synagogue in Capernaum that was mentioned in 1:21.

Here are some other ways to translate the synagogue:

the prayer-house of the Jews

the meeting-place of the Jews

the worship building

the house for gathering together

If you make explicit a phrase such as “of the Jews,” be sure that it does not imply that Jesus was not a Jew.

If the word synagogue is already known in your area, you may write it according to the sounds of your language. You may want to include a word or phrase to explain the meaning. For example:

the sinagog house/building

See how you translated synagogue in 1:21b. You should translate synagogue consistently wherever it occurs. See also synagogue in the Glossary.

3:1b

and a man with a withered hand was there.

a man whose hand/arm was paralyzed was there.
A certain man was there. His hand/arm was crippled/dead.

a withered hand: The phrase a withered hand refers to a hand that is shriveled and small because it is paralyzed or crippled. Some languages would say that this man’s hand was “dead” or “dried.”

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

paralyzed hand (GNT)

crippled hand (CEV)

hand: The Greek word that the BSB translates as hand includes the fingers, palm, wrist, and forearm. The Greek text does not specify how much of the man’s hand was paralyzed. Probably the whole area from the fingers to the forearm was included.

Each language divides the body differently. If you have a specific term that refers to the area from the forearm to the fingers, you could use that term here. Otherwise, you can use a general term for the hand and arm. If your language requires you to specify which hand, you should say the right hand, as in Luke 6:6.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-newevent

καὶ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί εἰσῆλθεν πάλιν εἰς συναγωγήν καί ἦν ἐκεῖ ἄνθρωπος ἐξηραμμένην ἔχων τήν χεῖρα)

Here, the word And introduces the next major event in the story. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next event, or you could leave And untranslated. Alternate translation: [After that,]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

πάλιν εἰς συναγωγήν

again into ˓the˒_synagogue

Here Mark implies that this is a synagogue that Jesus has already visited, most likely the one in Capernaum (see [1:21](../01/21.md)). If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [again into the synagogue in Capernaum]

Note 3 topic: writing-participants

ἦν ἐκεῖ ἄνθρωπος, ἐξηραμμένην ἔχων τὴν χεῖρα

was there ˓a˒_man ˓having_been˒_withered having (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί εἰσῆλθεν πάλιν εἰς συναγωγήν καί ἦν ἐκεῖ ἄνθρωπος ἐξηραμμένην ἔχων τήν χεῖρα)

Here Mark introduces a man with a withered hand as a new participant in the story. If your language has its own way of introducing new participants, you could use it here in your translation. Alternate translation: [a certain man was in the synagogue, and he had a withered hand]

Note 4 topic: translate-unknown

ἐξηραμμένην ἔχων τὴν χεῖρα

˓having_been˒_withered having (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί εἰσῆλθεν πάλιν εἰς συναγωγήν καί ἦν ἐκεῖ ἄνθρωπος ἐξηραμμένην ἔχων τήν χεῖρα)

This means that the man’s hand was damaged in such a way that he could not stretch it out. It was probably bent almost into a fist, making it look smaller. Use a word or phrase that expresses this idea clearly. Alternate translation: [having a shriveled hand] or [whose hand was atrophied]
