Parallel MARK 4:23

Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not necessarily 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 Bible-translators and others 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 early looks into the drafted 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 4:21–25: Jesus told his disciples to study and share the truths that God revealed to them

In this section Jesus told a parable about a lamp (4:21). He told this parable in order to encourage his disciples to share the gospel and not to hide it. Then he talked about hidden things and urged his disciples to listen carefully to what he told them.

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 parables of the lamp and measuring

We must not hide the light/truth

There are parallel passages for this section in Matthew 5:15 (also Matthew 7:2) and Luke 8:16–18 (also Luke 11:33, 6:38, 8:18).

4:23

If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”

If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear: With this saying, Jesus urged the crowd to give careful attention to the parable that they had just heard. Jesus asked them to do more than just listen. He wanted them to understand and respond correctly to the lesson of the parable.

This expression is similar to 4:9. The only difference is that here the words If anyone is used instead of “He who.” The meaning is the same, so you should use the same expression that you used in 4:9.


UTN uW Translation Notes:

εἴ τις ἔχει ὦτα ἀκούειν, ἀκουέτω

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Εἰ τὶς ἔχει ὦτα ἀκούειν ἀκουέτω)
