MARK 7:2 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.

T4T The Pharisees and all of the other Jews strictly observe the traditions that their ancestors taught. For example, they refuse to eat until they first wash their hands with a special ritual, especially after they return from buying things in the marketplace. They think that God will be angry with them if they do not do that, because some person or thing unacceptable to God might have touched ◄them/the things they bought►. There are many other such traditions that they accept and try to obey. Specifically, they wash in a special way their cups, pots, kettles, containers, and beds in order that using these things will not make God reject them.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

ἰδόντες τινὰς τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ ὅτι & ἐσθίουσιν

/having/_seen some ˱of˲_the disciples ˱of˲_him that & ˱they˲_/are/_eating

Here, the phrase that they eat refers directly back to the phrase some of his disciples. Mark expresses the idea in this way to introduce whom the Pharisees and scribes saw and then explain what they saw them doing. If referring to who were seen and then referring back to them with the phrase that they eat would be redundant in your language, you could omit the redundant information. Alternate translation: [having seen some of his disciples eating]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

ἐσθίουσιν τοὺς ἄρτους

˱they˲_/are/_eating the loaves

The Pharisees and scribes are using loaves to represent any food. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your culture or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [they eat their meals]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

κοιναῖς χερσίν, τοῦτ’ ἔστιν ἀνίπτοις

˱with˲_unclean hands this is ˱with˲_unwashed

Here Mark explains that defiled hands are hands that are unwashed. Consider how you might include an explanation like this. Alternate translation: [with unwashed hands, which are defiled] or [with defiled—that is to say, unwashed—hands]
