MARK 4:14 Parallel Verse View

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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ὁ σπείρων τὸν λόγον σπείρει

the_‹one› sowing the word /is/_sowing

Here Jesus speaks about what the word as if it were what the sower sows in the parable. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea in simile form. Alternative translation: “what the sower sows is like the word”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὸν λόγον σπείρει

the word /is/_sowing

See how you translated “sow” in 4:4. Alternate translation: “throws the word like seeds over the ground” or “scatters the word like seeds over the field”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

τὸν λόγον

the word

Jesus is using the term word to mean the gospel, which people preach using words. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the gospel”
