Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not 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. 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: grammar-connect-words-phrases

ὅτι

because

Here, the word because introduces an explanation about why nothing from outside a person can defile that person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces an explanation, or you could leave because untranslated. Alternate translation: [for] or [and that is because]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / go

οὐκ εἰσπορεύεται

not ˱it˲_/is/_entering_in

In a context such as this, your language might say “come” instead of go. Alternate translation: [it does not come]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

αὐτοῦ εἰς τὴν καρδίαν, ἀλλ’ εἰς τὴν κοιλίαν

˱of˲_him into the heart but into the belly

The phrases his heart and the stomach represent people’s hearts and stomachs in general, not one particular heart and stomach. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the idea in another way. Alternate translation: [into a person’s heart but into a person’s stomach]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

εἰς τὴν καρδίαν

into the heart

In Jesus’ culture, the heart is the place where humans think and feel. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate heart by referring to the place where humans think and feel in your culture or by expressing the idea plainly. Alternate translation: [into his head] or [into his mind]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

αὐτοῦ

˱of˲_him

Although the term his is masculine, Jesus is using the word in a generic sense that includes both men and women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a phrase that makes this clear. Alternate translation: [his or her]

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / euphemism

εἰς τὸν ἀφεδρῶνα ἐκπορεύεται

into into into the latrine ˱it˲_/is/_going_out

Jesus is referring to the process of expelling and removing feces and urine in a polite way by using the phrase passes out into the latrine. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a polite way of referring to this in your language, or you could state this plainly. Alternate translation: [is evacuated from the bowels] or [passes out of the body as waste]

Note 7 topic: translate-unknown

τὸν ἀφεδρῶνα

the latrine

A latrine is a place where people expel and remove feces and urine. If your readers would not be familiar with this word, you could use the name of something similar in your area or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: [the bathroom] or [the water closet]

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὸν ἀφεδρῶνα & καθαρίζων πάντα τὰ βρώματα

the latrine & purifying all the foods

Here, the phrase cleansing all foods is Mark’s explanation of the implication of what Jesus has said. He means that Jesus’ teaching indicates that all foods are clean. If it would be helpful in your language, you make that idea more explicit. Make sure that you use a form that shows that this phrase is not part of what Jesus said. Alternate translation: [the latrine?’ So, Jesus cleansed all foods.] or [the latrine?’ Now that implies that all foods are clean.]
