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.

13:3 Satan often imitates God. Here the beast mimics the death and resurrection of Jesus.
• That one of the heads had been fatally wounded but was healed has led to its identification with Nero. A tradition emerged that the emperor Nero (AD 54–68) was so evil that he either did not really die or would be reincarnated as another tyrant like Domitian (AD 81–96). In 17:9-10, the beast’s seven heads are linked both to seven hills (Rome) and to seven kings.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo
ἐσφαγμένην εἰς θάνατον
/having_been/_slain to death
It might seem that the expression slain unto death contains extra information that would be unnatural to express in your language. If so, you could shorten it. Alternate translation: “it had been slain”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἐσφαγμένην εἰς θάνατον
/having_been/_slain to death
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: “someone had slain it”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἡ πληγὴ τοῦ θανάτου αὐτοῦ ἐθεραπεύθη
the wound ˱of˲_the death ˱of˲_it /was/_healed
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: “it had recovered from its wound of death”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession
ἡ πληγὴ τοῦ θανάτου
the wound ˱of˲_the death
John is using a possessive form to describe a wound that led to death. Alternate translation: “deadly wound”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ἐθαυμάσθη ὅλη ἡ γῆ
/was/_being_marveled all the earth
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: “this astonished the whole earth”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
ὅλη ἡ γῆ
all the earth
Here the term earth refers to the people who live on the earth. If it would be clearer in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “all the people on earth”
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
ὀπίσω τοῦ θηρίου
after the wild_beast
John is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: “and they followed after the beast” or, if you retain the term earth, “and it followed after the beast”
Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
ὀπίσω τοῦ θηρίου
after the wild_beast
This expression, which is short for “followed after the beast,” means that the people on earth accepted the beast as their ruler. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and they accepted the beast as their ruler” or, if you retain the term earth, “and it accepted the beast as its ruler”
