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 / exclusive

εἴδομέν & ἐκωλύομεν & ἡμῖν

˱we˲_saw & ˱we˲_/were/_forbidding & ˱with˲_us

When John says we and us, he is speaking of himself and the other disciples, so we and us would be exclusive, if your language marks that distinction.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί σου

in the name ˱of˲_you

Here, name is a way of referring to a person by reference to something associated with him. The expression in your name means that the person was acting with the power and authority of Jesus. Alternate translation: “on your behalf” or “as your representative” or “by your authority”

Note 3 topic: translate-textvariants

ἐν τῷ ὀνόματί σου & καὶ ἐκωλύομεν αὐτόν

in the name ˱of˲_you & and ˱we˲_/were/_forbidding him

Many ancient manuscripts read in your name, and we were preventing him. The ULT follows that reading. Other ancient manuscripts read “in your name who does not follow us, and we were preventing him.” If a translation of the Bible exists in your region, you may wish to use the reading that it uses. If a translation of the Bible does not exist in your region, you may wish to use the reading of the ULT.

Note 4 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

ἐκωλύομεν αὐτόν, ὅτι οὐκ ἠκολούθει ἡμῖν

˱we˲_/were/_forbidding him because not ˱he˲_/was/_following ˱with˲_us

If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these clauses, since the second clause gives the reason for the result that the first clause describes. Alternate translation: “because he was not following with us, we were preventing him”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

οὐκ ἠκολούθει ἡμῖν

not ˱he˲_/was/_following ˱with˲_us

Here, following does not seem to mean “to be one of Jesus’ disciples”, since this man was claiming to act in Jesus’ name. Here, following with us means that this man did not travel in the group of Jesus and his disciples. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “he was not traveling with us in our group” or “he was not part of our group”
