21:24 This disciple is the one who testifies . . . and has recorded: John’s Gospel is anchored in his personal experiences. It is not a story written from hearsay or speculation, but from the remembrance of a man who spent life-changing years with Jesus and recalled, with the help of the Holy Spirit (14:26), what Jesus said and did.
• we know: This account of the life of Christ was not speculation or weak reminiscence. Rather, it was based on the confident knowledge of reliable eyewitness accounts.

οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ μαθητὴς ὁ μαρτυρῶν περὶ τούτων, καὶ ὁ γράψας ταῦτα, καὶ οἴδαμεν ὅτι ἀληθὴς αὐτοῦ ἡ μαρτυρία ἐστίν
this_‹one› is the disciple ¬which testifying concerning these_‹things› and the_‹one› /having/_written these_‹things› and ˱we˲_/have/_known that true ˱of˲_him the testimony is
In this verse John is speaking about himself in the third person. If this is confusing in your language, you can use the first person. Alternate translation: “I am the disciple who testifies about these things and who wrote these things, and we know that my testimony is true”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
τούτων & ταῦτα
these_‹things› & these_‹things›
In this verse, these things refers to everything that John has written in this Gospel. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: “everything in this book … all these things”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive
οἴδαμεν
˱we˲_/have/_known
Here the pronoun we is exclusive. Your language may require you to mark this form.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / extrainfo
οἴδαμεν
˱we˲_/have/_known
Here, we could refer to: (1) John and the other eyewitnesses to the earthly life of Jesus, as in 1:14 and 1 John 1:2–7. Alternate translation: “We eyewitnesses of Jesus’ life know” (2) the elders in the church at Ephesus where John lived at the end of his life. Alternate translation: “We elders of the church at Ephesus know” However, since who we refers to is uncertain, it would be best not to explain the meaning further.
