UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-newevent

καὶ

and

Here, the word And introduces the next major event in the story. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the next event, or you could leave And untranslated. Alternate translation: [Then,] or [While he was there,]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐξῆλθον

came_out

Here Mark implies that the Pharisees came out from wherever they were and went to where Jesus was. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [departed to Jesus] or [left where they were and went to where Jesus was]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / go

ἐξῆλθον

came_out

In a context such as this, your language might say “went” instead of came. Alternate translation: [went out]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / quotations

ζητοῦντες παρ’ αὐτοῦ σημεῖον ἀπὸ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ, πειράζοντες αὐτόν

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

σημεῖον ἀπὸ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ

/a/_sign from the sky

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἀπὸ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ

from the sky

Here, the phrase from heaven indicates that the sign originates in heaven, where God rules. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [from heaven, where God rules] or [that comes from the place where God is]

Note 7 topic: grammar-connect-logic-goal

πειράζοντες αὐτόν

testing him
