SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 12:20–26: Some Greeks wanted to meet Jesus

Some Greek people went to Philip to ask to meet Jesus. Jesus responded to the Greeks’ request by giving the illustration of a seed that must die to produce fruit.

Here are some other possible titles for this section:

Some Greek people asked to see Jesus

Some Greeks sought Jesus

12:23

But Jesus replied, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.

¶ Jesus replied, “This is the time for the Son of Man to receive glory.
¶ Jesus answered them, “Now is the hour/time when God will glorify me, the Son of Man.

But Jesus replied: Jesus’ answer was in response to Andrew and Philip and also to the Greeks. The Greek has a plural pronoun “them” that the BSB leaves implied. If you translate the pronoun, it is good to translate it as a general pronoun referring to all these people, not the two disciples alone.

The hour has come: The phrase The hour refers to the time Jesus had been waiting for. That was the time he would suffer, die, and rise again. This time had now come. It would not, however, take place in the next 60 minutes. So it may be necessary to refer to “time” instead of hour. For example:

The time has come (NET)

it is now the time

for the Son of Man to be glorified: The word for here introduces which hour/time Jesus was talking about. He was referring to the time when he would receive glory from God. This would be the time when he would suffer, die, rise from the dead, and return to heaven. The verb be glorified is passive and there are at least two ways to translate it:

Use a passive verb. For example:
The time has come for the Son of Man to be given his glory. (CEV)
Use an active verb. For example:
The hour has now come for the Son of Man to receive great glory. (GNT)
Now the time has come for the Son of Man to enter into his glory. (NLT)

Use the verb form that is most natural in your language in this context.

the Son of Man: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as the Son of Man is more literally “the Son of the human/person.” Jesus used this title to imply two things:

He was a true human being, and he represented all people.
He came from God and had authority from God.

Try to use an expression that implies both meanings. For example:

the True Man from God/Heaven

See how you translated this in 1:51 and 3:13b. In some languages it may be necessary to use a first person pronoun to indicate that Jesus referred to himself. For example:

for me, the Son of Man,

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-quotations

ἀποκρίνεται αὐτοῖς λέγων

˓is˒_answering ˱to˲_them saying

Consider natural ways of introducing direct quotations in your language. Alternate translation: [answered them by saying]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ἐλήλυθεν ἡ ὥρα

˓has˒_come (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ Ἰησοῦς ἀποκρίνεται αὐτοῖς λέγων ἐλήλυθεν Ἡ ὥρα ἵνα δοξασθῇ ὁ Υἱός τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου)

See the discussion of this in the introduction to Chapter 4 and see how you translated this phrase in [4:21](../04/21.md).

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἵνα δοξασθῇ ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου

in_order_that ˓may_be˒_glorified the (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ Ἰησοῦς ἀποκρίνεται αὐτοῖς λέγων ἐλήλυθεν Ἡ ὥρα ἵνα δοξασθῇ ὁ Υἱός τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου)

Jesus refers to his upcoming death, resurrection, and return to heaven as the time when he would be glorified. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [so that the Son of Man might be glorified through his death, resurrection, and ascension]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου

¬the the (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ὁ Δέ Ἰησοῦς ἀποκρίνεται αὐτοῖς λέγων ἐλήλυθεν Ἡ ὥρα ἵνα δοξασθῇ ὁ Υἱός τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου)

Jesus is speaking of himself in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in the first person, as in the UST.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου

See how you translated the Son of Man in [1:51](../01/51.md).

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ἵνα δοξασθῇ ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. If you must state who will do the action, Jesus implies that God will do it. Alternate translation: [so that God might glorify the Son of Man]
