Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations.

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.

To insult the witnesses, the people of the city will not bury their bodies. They will leave their bodies lying in the city’s open area.

11:8 their bodies will lie in the main street: Evil is so vindictive that it even desecrates the dead.
• Jerusalem (literally the great city): The designation “the great city” would have immediately suggested Rome to early readers (16:19; 17:18; 18:10, 16, 18-19, 21). But John also describes it as the city where their Lord was crucified as well as Sodom and Egypt—all places that were hostile to God and his people (see also 17:5, 9).
• where their Lord was crucified: There is a direct connection between how the Lord was treated by evil forces and the experience of persecuted Christians (see Acts 9:5).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τῆς πόλεως τῆς μεγάλης
the ˱of˲_the city ¬the great
John assumes that his readers will understand that by the great city he means Jerusalem. You could say that explicitly if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [Jerusalem]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἥτις καλεῖται πνευματικῶς
which /is_being/_called spiritually
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [which we may spiritually call]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / simile
ἥτις καλεῖται πνευματικῶς, Σόδομα καὶ Αἴγυπτος
which /is_being/_called spiritually Sodom and Egypt
The point of these comparisons is that God once destroyed Jerusalem because its people were so wicked, like Sodom, and that Jerusalem oppressed people who belonged to God, like Egypt. If it would be helpful in your language, you could make this point explicitly. Alternate translation: [which God destroyed for wickedness as he destroyed Sodom and which oppressed God’s people as did Egypt]
Note 4 topic: writing-politeness
ὁ Κύριος αὐτῶν
the Lord ˱of˲_them
John is referring to Jesus by a respectful title. Use a form for addressing someone respectfully in your language. Alternate translation: [their Lord Jesus]
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἐσταυρώθη
/was/_crucified
If your language does not use this passive form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [suffered crucifixion]
