TTN Tyndale Theme Notes:

“Belief” in the Gospel of John

Believing occupies a central place in John’s Gospel. John does not use the noun faith that appears frequently elsewhere in the New Testament (e.g., see Matt 8:8-10; Mark 11:22; Acts 20:21; Rom 1:17; 3:27-31; 4:3-5; Heb 11:1-39; Jas 2:14-24; 1 Pet 1:5-7). John prefers the verb believe to underscore that faith is not simply a static dogma, but is dynamic, requiring action. In John’s Gospel, “believing” in Jesus is the trait of all true disciples.

In the Gospel of John, the verb translated “believe” is often followed by the Greek preposition eis (“into”). No parallel exists for this combination in ancient Greek usage. For John, faith is not a status, but an investment in the person of Jesus. Faith means accepting who Jesus is and what he claims to be. Faith constitutes a commitment to let his call change the way we live. Faith is the work God wants from us (John 6:29), demonstrated as we abide in Jesus’ word, as we love him, and as we obey his commands (John 8:31; 15:1-17; see 1 Jn 5:10).

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

σὺ εἶ ὁ διδάσκαλος τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ταῦτα οὐ γινώσκεις?

you are the teacher ¬the ˱of˲_Israel and these_‹things› not ˱you˲_/are/_knowing

Jesus is using the question form for emphasis. He is not asking Nicodemus a question in order to get information. 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 are a teacher of Israel, so I am surprised you do not understand these things!” or “You are a teacher of Israel, so you should understand these things!”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / you

σὺ εἶ ὁ διδάσκαλος & οὐ γινώσκεις

you are the teacher & not ˱you˲_/are/_knowing

The word you is singular and refers to Nicodemus. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “Are you, Nicodemus, the teacher … you do not understand”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὁ διδάσκαλος τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ

the teacher ¬the ˱of˲_Israel

Here, the teacher indicates that Nicodemus was recognized as a master teacher and religious authority in the land of Israel. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: “the renowned religious teacher in Israel”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ταῦτα

these_‹things›

Here, these things refers to all that Jesus had spoken in 3:3–8. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. See how you translated this phrase is the previous verse. Alternate translation: “these things you have just told me”
