OET (OET-LV) Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) answered and said, this the voice has_become not because_of me, but because_of you_all.

OET (OET-RV) “That voice wasn’t for my sake,” Yeshua responded, “but for all of you.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 12:27–36b: Jesus talked about his death

Jesus spoke about his coming death. He said that he was disturbed by what was going to happen, but that was why he came to earth. He prayed that his Father God would reveal his glory in Jesus’ death. God answered that had already revealed his glory and that he would do it again.

Jesus said that the time had now come for God to judge the world and drive out Satan. And Jesus’ death would attract people to him. But the people there were confused because they did not think that the Messiah would die. Jesus told them to believe in the light, which was himself.

Here are some other possible titles for this section:

Jesus’ death will attract people to himself

What Jesus’ death would do

12:30

In response, Jesus said, “This voice was not for My benefit, but yours.

In response, Jesus said: John did not say that the crowd asked Jesus a question. In some languages it is therefore more natural to use a word other than In response. For example:

Then Jesus told the crowd (CEV)

This voice was not for My benefit, but yours: Jesus said that the voice from heaven was for the benefit of the people, the listeners. God spoke his words to Jesus, but he intended them to help the people who were listening.

This voice was not for My benefit: The phrase This voice refers to what the crowd heard. God wanted the crowd to know that he had answered Jesus’ prayer, even though they could not understand what he said. Just knowing that God spoke to Jesus was a big benefit to the people. In some languages it may not be natural to say that the voice was not for something. It may be more natural to follow one of these models:

The voice was not for my benefit

This voice did not speak for my sake

God did not speak for my benefit

but yours: This phrase is a short way of saying “This voice was for your sake/benefit.” It indicates that the voice was more for the crowd’s benefit than for Jesus’ benefit. For example:

This voice came more to help you than to help me.

General Comment on 12:30

In the Greek text and the BSB, the negative statement (not for my sake) comes first, followed by the positive statement (but for your sake). This kind of sentence emphasizes the positive statement. Translate this verse in a natural way in your language to emphasize the positive statement. In some languages it may be natural to follow the Greek word order. For example:

Jesus said, “This voice has not come for my benefit but for yours….” (NET)

Jesus replied, “That voice wasn’t for my benefit but for yours….” (GW)

Jesus said to them, “That voice which you heard, it was not for me but rather for you….”

Jesus said, “That voice was not heard because of me. It was because of you….”

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

οὐ & ἡ φωνὴ αὕτη γέγονεν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀπεκρίθη καί εἶπεν Ἰησοῦς οὒ διʼ ἐμέ ἡ φωνή αὕτη γέγονεν ἀλλά διʼ ὑμᾶς)

Jesus refers to the sound of God’s voice as if it were an object that came down from heaven (See: [12:28](../12/28.md)). If this would confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [God did not speak this]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

12:1-50 Two stories build simultaneously. A growing number of people are praising Jesus (this climaxes in 12:12-13), and the authorities are increasingly determined to arrest him and put him to death.
• John records three events that occurred just days prior to Passover (12:1-11, 12-19, 20-36). Then he explains why most of the people refused to believe and details Jesus’ final public appeal (12:37-50).
