MARK 8:18 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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

ὀφθαλμοὺς ἔχοντες, οὐ βλέπετε? καὶ ὦτα ἔχοντες, οὐκ ἀκούετε? καὶ οὐ μνημονεύετε?

eyes having not ˱you_all˲_/are/_seeing and ears having not ˱you_all˲_/are/_hearing and not ˱you_all˲_/are/_remembering

Jesus is using the question form to rebuke the disciples. If you would not use the question form for this purpose in your language, you could translate this as a statement or an exclamation. Alternate translation: [Having eyes, you do not see. And having ears, you do not hear. And you do not remember.] or [Surely you have eyes, yet you do not see! Surely you have ears, yet you do not hear! And you certainly do not remember!]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

ὀφθαλμοὺς ἔχοντες, οὐ βλέπετε? καὶ ὦτα ἔχοντες, οὐκ ἀκούετε

eyes having not ˱you_all˲_/are/_seeing and ears having not ˱you_all˲_/are/_hearing

These two sentences mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could connect the sentences with a word other than and in order to show that the second sentence is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternatively, you could combine the two sentences. Alternate translation: [Having eyes, do you not see? Indeed, having ears, do you not hear] or [Having eyes and ears, do you not see and hear]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὀφθαλμοὺς ἔχοντες, οὐ βλέπετε? καὶ ὦτα ἔχοντες, οὐκ ἀκούετε

eyes having not ˱you_all˲_/are/_seeing and ears having not ˱you_all˲_/are/_hearing

Here Jesus is implying that the disciples have eyes to look at things and ears to hear things, but they do not really pay attention to what they see and hear. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make that idea more explicit. Alternate translation: [Having eyes, do you fail to pay attention to what you see? And having ears, do you fail to pay attention to what you see] or [Having eyes to see with, do you not see properly? And having ears to hear with, do you not hear properly]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure

καὶ οὐ μνημονεύετε & ὅτε τοὺς πέντε ἄρτους ἔκλασα εἰς τοὺς πεντακισχιλίους, πόσους κοφίνους κλασμάτων πλήρεις ἤρατε

and and not ˱you_all˲_/are/_remembering & (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὀφθαλμοὺς ἔχοντες οὐ βλέπετε καὶ ὦτα ἔχοντες οὐκ ἀκούετε καὶ οὐ μνημονεύετε)

Here, the clause And do you not remember could: (1) stand alone as a question. See the ULT. (2) begin the question that is found in verse 19. Alternate translation: [And do you not remember, when I broke the five loaves among the 5,000, how many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up] or [And do you not remember when I broke the five loaves among the 5,000? How many baskets full of broken pieces did you take up]
