OET interlinear YHN (JHN) 1:50

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

ὅτι εἶπόν σοι, ὅτι εἶδόν σε ὑποκάτω τῆς συκῆς, πιστεύεις?

because ˱I˲_said ˱to˲_you that ˱I˲_saw you beneath the fig_tree ˱you˲_/are/_believing

If it would be helpful in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases, since the second phrase gives the result for the reason that the first phrase describes. Alternate translation: “Do you believe because I said to you that I saw you underneath the fig tree”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

ὅτι εἶπόν σοι, ὅτι εἶδόν σε ὑποκάτω τῆς συκῆς, πιστεύεις?

because ˱I˲_said ˱to˲_you that ˱I˲_saw you beneath the fig_tree ˱you˲_/are/_believing

John records Jesus using the question form for emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “You believe because I said, ‘I saw you underneath the fig tree’!”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

πιστεύεις

˱you˲_/are/_believing

Jesus is leaving out some of the words that this phrase would need in many languages in order to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the context. Alternate translation: “do you believe that I am the Messiah”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

μείζω τούτων

greater_‹than› these_‹things›

Jesus uses the plural pronoun these to refer to a general category of something, in this case the miraculous display of supernatural knowledge that took place in 1:48. Alternate translation: “greater things than this type of thing” or “greater things that this kind of miracle”
