OET interlinear YHN (JHN) 19:36

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-quotations

ἐγένετο & ταῦτα, ἵνα ἡ Γραφὴ πληρωθῇ

became & these_‹things› in_order_that the Scripture /may_be/_fulfilled

Here John uses that the scripture would be fulfilled to introduce a quotation from an Old Testament book (Psalm 34:20). If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a comparable phrase that indicates that Jesus is quoting from an important text. Alternate translation: “these things happened in order that what is written in the Psalms might be fulfilled”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐγένετο & ταῦτα

became & these_‹things›

Here, these things refers to the two events described in 19:33–34. If it would be more natural in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “the soldiers did not break Jesus’ legs but pierced his side”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἵνα ἡ Γραφὴ πληρωθῇ

in_order_that the Scripture /may_be/_fulfilled

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “in order to fulfill the words that someone wrote in scripture”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / quotemarks

ὀστοῦν οὐ συντριβήσεται αὐτοῦ

bone not /will_be_being/_broken ˱of˲_him

This sentence is a quotation from Psalm 34:20. It may be helpful to your readers to indicate this by setting off all of this material with quotation marks or with whatever other punctuation or convention your language uses to indicate a quotation.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ὀστοῦν οὐ συντριβήσεται αὐτοῦ

bone not /will_be_being/_broken ˱of˲_him

This is a quotation from Psalm 34:20. If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “No one will break even one of his bones”
