OET interlinear YHN (JHN) 6:50

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / exmetaphor

οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ ἄρτος ὁ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καταβαίνων, ἵνα τις ἐξ αὐτοῦ φάγῃ, καὶ μὴ ἀποθάνῃ

this is the bread ¬which out_of ¬the heaven coming_down in_order_that anyone of it /may/_eat and not /may/_die_off

Jesus continues using the bread metaphor to express that one must believe in him in order to have eternal life just as one must eat bread to sustain physical life. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this as a simile. Alternate translation: “I am this bread that comes down from heaven, just as one must eat bread to live, so must one believe in me in order to not die spiritually”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

οὗτός ἐστιν & αὐτοῦ

this is & it

John records Jesus referring to himself in the third person. If this is confusing in your language, you can use the first person. Alternate translation: “I am … me”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ὁ ἄρτος

the bread

See how you translated this term in verse 48.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐξ αὐτοῦ φάγῃ

of it /may/_eat

Here Jesus uses eat to refer to believing in him for salvation. What Jesus said plainly in verse 47 he says here. If this would confuse your readers, you could express this with a simile. Alternate translation: “might believe in me as one eats bread to live”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

μὴ ἀποθάνῃ

not /may/_die_off

Here Jesus uses die to refer to spiritual death, which is eternal punishment in hell that occurs after physical death. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “might not die spiritually” or “might not experience spiritual death”
