TSNTyndale Study Notes:

8:53 Who do you think you are? This question was antagonistic and aggressive. However, if Jesus is immortal, ruling over life and death, then he is greater than Abraham, the prophets, or any of the greatest people in Israel’s history (8:58).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

μὴ σὺ μείζων εἶ τοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν Ἀβραάμ, ὅστις ἀπέθανεν?

not you greater_‹than› are the father ˱of˲_us Abraham who died_off

The Jews are using this question to emphasize that they do not think that Jesus is greater than Abraham. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate these words as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “You are certainly not greater than our father Abraham who died!”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

τοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν

the father ˱of˲_us

See how you translated this phrase in verse 39.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

τίνα σεαυτὸν ποιεῖς?

whom yourself ˱you˲_/are/_making

The Jews are using this question to rebuke Jesus for thinking that he is more important than Abraham. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate these words as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “You should not think that you are so important!”
