MARK 6:15 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 / quotations

ἄλλοι δὲ ἔλεγον, ὅτι Ἠλείας ἐστίν; ἄλλοι δὲ ἔλεγον, ὅτι προφήτης, ὡς εἷς τῶν προφητῶν

others but /were/_saying ¬that others and /were/_saying ¬that (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἄλλοι δὲ ἔλεγον ὅτι Ἠλίας ἐστίν ἄλλοι δὲ ἔλεγον ὅτι προφήτης ὡς εἷς τῶν προφητῶν)

It may be more natural in your language to have indirect quotations here. Alternate translation: “But others were saying that he was Elijah. But others were saying that he was a prophet, like one of the prophets”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

προφήτης

/a/_prophet

These people are leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You could supply these words from earlier in the sentence if it would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “He is a prophet”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

εἷς τῶν προφητῶν

one ˱of˲_the prophets

Here these people are referring to the famous prophets who lived many years earlier. There are many stories in the Old Testament about the amazing things these prophets did and said. If it would be helpful in your language, you could refer to these specific prophets more explicitly. Alternate translation: “one of the famous prophets from the Scriptures” or “one of the ancient prophets”
