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.

6:14-29 The account of John the Baptist’s death, sandwiched between the sending out and the return of the disciples, continues the theme of Jesus’ authority and power (see 6:7, 14). John’s fate and the warning given to the disciples in their missionary charge (6:11) also foreshadowed Jesus’ death. The one greater even than John (1:8) would soon be handed over to religious and political leaders and put to death (8:31; 9:31; 10:33).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / go
ἐξελθοῦσα
/having/_come_out
In a context such as this, your language might say “come” instead of gone. Alternate translation: [having come out]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations
εἶπεν τῇ μητρὶ αὐτῆς, τί αἰτήσωμαι? ἡ δὲ εἶπεν, τὴν κεφαλὴν Ἰωάννου τοῦ βαπτίζοντος
˱she˲_said ˱to˲_the mother ˱of˲_her what ˱I˲_/may/_request she and said the head ˱of˲_John the_‹one› baptizing
It may be more natural in your language to have indirect quotations here. Alternate translation: [she asked her mother what she should ask. And her mother said that she should ask for the head of John the Baptist]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τῇ μητρὶ αὐτῆς
˱to˲_the mother ˱of˲_her
Here Mark implies that her mother is Herodias, Herod’s wife. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [to Herodias, her mother]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
τὴν κεφαλὴν Ἰωάννου τοῦ βαπτίζοντος
the head ˱of˲_John the_‹one› baptizing
The mother is 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: [You should ask for the head of John the Baptist]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τὴν κεφαλὴν Ἰωάννου τοῦ βαπτίζοντος
the head ˱of˲_John the_‹one› baptizing
Here the mother is implying that the daughter should ask King Herod to behead John the Baptist and then present his severed head to her. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [The head of John Baptist after he has been beheaded] or [The head of John the Baptist severed from his body]
