UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-newevent

καὶ

and

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,] or [One day,]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole

ὄχλος πλεῖστος

/a/_crowd very_great

Mark says the largest crowd here as an overstatement for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a different way to express the emphasis. Alternate translation: [a huge crowd] or [an enormous crowd]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

συνάγεται πρὸς αὐτὸν

/is_being/_gathered_together to 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. Alternate translation: [gathered to him] or [came to listen to him]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

καθῆσθαι ἐν τῇ θαλάσσῃ

/to_be/_sitting in the sea

In Jesus’ culture, teachers usually sat down when they were going to teach. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [sat down on the sea to instruct them] or [sat down on the sea as a teacher does]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐν τῇ θαλάσσῃ

in the sea

Here Mark means that Jesus sat down in the boat, which was floating on the sea. Jesus did not sit directly on top of the water. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [in the boat as it was on the sea] or [in it]

πρὸς τὴν θάλασσαν ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς

to to the sea on the land

Alternate translation: [on the shore]
