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: grammar-connect-words-phrases

γὰρ

for

Here, the word For introduces a basis for the claim that Jesus made in the previous verse about how what comes out from a person is what defiles that person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces a basis for a claim, or you could leave For untranslated. Alternate translation: “That is because” or “I say that because”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἐκ τῆς καρδίας τῶν ἀνθρώπων

from the heart ¬the ˱of˲_people

In Jesus’ culture, the heart is the place where humans think, feel, and desire. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate heart by referring to the place where humans think, feel, and desire in your culture, or you could express the idea plainly. See how you translated heart in 7:19. Alternate translation: “from the head of men” or “from the mind of men” or “from what men think and desire”

Note 3 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

τῆς καρδίας

the heart

If it would not be natural in your language to speak as if a group of people had only one heart, you could use the plural form of that word in your translation. Alternate translation: “the hearts”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

τῶν ἀνθρώπων

¬the ˱of˲_people

Although the term men 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: “of humans”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / go

ἐκπορεύονται

/are/_going_out

In a context such as this, your language might say “go” instead of come. Alternate translation: “go out”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐκπορεύονται

/are/_going_out

Here Jesus speaks as if evil deeds and desires go out from the inside of a person. He means that these evil deeds and desires have their origin from the person, not from anything outside the person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable figure of speech or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “spring” or “originate”
