OET (OET-RV) We know that God spoke to Moses, but we don’t even know where this other fellow is from.”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τοῦτον
this_‹man›
Here John records the Jewish leaders saying this one as a disrespectful way to refer to Jesus and to avoid saying his name. If your language has a similar way to refer to someone in an indirect but derogatory manner, you may use it here. Alternate translation: “this so-and-so”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τοῦτον & πόθεν ἐστίν
this_‹man› & from_where ˱he˲_is
Here, the Jewish leaders use from to indicate Jesus’ origin. He could only have authority if he came from God, but they say that they do not know where he came from. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “where this one gets his authority”
9:1-41 At the Festival of Shelters (chs 7–8), Jesus claimed to be the light of the world (8:12). Now John tells about Jesus giving light, both physically and spiritually, to a blind man who lived in darkness (see 9:5). The story ends with a splendid reversal of roles: The blind man who was assumed to be in spiritual darkness could see God’s light, whereas the Pharisees, who could see physically and were thought to be enlightened, were shown to be spiritually blind.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
