TSNTyndale Study Notes:

7:1-52 This chapter is another account of Jesus during a Jewish festival, the Festival of Shelters. Jesus used elements of the festival to reveal his true identity to his Jewish compatriots and to show that he had fulfilled the festival’s essential meaning (see 7:37-39; 8:12).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

μὴ ὁ νόμος ἡμῶν κρίνει τὸν ἄνθρωπον, ἐὰν μὴ ἀκούσῃ πρῶτον παρ’ αὐτοῦ, καὶ γνῷ τί ποιεῖ?

not the law ˱of˲_us /is/_judging the person if not /may/_hear first from him and /may/_know what ˱he˲_/is/_doing

Nicodemus is using the form of a question to add emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this type of question by translating his words as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “Our law certainly does not judge a man unless it might first hear from him and might know what he does!”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

μὴ ὁ νόμος ἡμῶν κρίνει τὸν ἄνθρωπον, ἐὰν μὴ ἀκούσῃ πρῶτον παρ’ αὐτοῦ, καὶ γνῷ τί ποιεῖ

not the law ˱of˲_us /is/_judging the person if not /may/_hear first from him and /may/_know what ˱he˲_/is/_doing

Nicodemus speaks of the law as if it were a person. If this use of law is not natural in your language, you could express this meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “It is not written in our law that we may judge a man unless we might first hear from him and might know what he does, is it”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

τὸν ἄνθρωπον

the person

Here, a man does not refer to a specific man. It refers to any man in general. Alternate translation: “any man”
