OET (OET-LV) But having_done so_many signs of_him before them, they_were_ not _believing in him,

OET (OET-RV) Even though Yeshua had done so many miracles in front of the people, they didn’t believe that he was the messiah.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 12:36c–43: The Unbelief of the People

This paragraph discusses the unbelief (lack of belief or faith) of many of those who heard Jesus and saw his miracles. Many of them rejected him, as the Hebrew Scriptures prophesied. Others did believe but remained silent, afraid that they themselves would be rejected.

Here are some other possible titles for this section:

The Jews still did not believe

Many Jews refused to have faith in Jesus

12:37a

Although Jesus had performed so many signs in their presence,

Although Jesus had performed so many signs in their presence: This clause indicates a true situation: Jesus had performed (done) so many signs in their presence. The word Although indicates that the result of that situation (12:37b: “they did not believe in him”) was not expected. Here are other ways to translate this clause:

Even after Jesus had done all these miraculous signs in their presence (NIV)

Though Jesus had done many miracles in front of the people (NCV)

Even though he had performed all these miracles in their presence (GNT)

Jesus had performed so many signs in their presence: This clause indicates that these people saw Jesus performing (doing) miracles/signs. In some languages it may be natural to say this with the people as the subject. For example:

Although they had seen Jesus perform so many miracles (GW)

signs: This word refers to miraculous and powerful deeds. These deeds were signs, meaning that they showed that Jesus was the Messiah, the Chosen Savior. See how you translated this word in 2:11a and 6:26b.

in their presence: This phrase means “in the presence of the crowd.” These people saw and heard everything Jesus did.

12:37b

they still did not believe in Him.

they still did not believe in Him: This clause tells the unexpected result of the situation in 12:37a. The same people who saw Jesus do signs/miracles refused to believe in him. This means that they did not believe him when he told them who he was. But it also means that they did not trust Jesus instead of themselves or someone else. See how you translated a similar clause in 12:36a. Here are other ways to translate this clause:

most of the people still did not believe in him (NLT)

they were still not willing to have faith in him (CEV)

This is a general statement. Some of the people did believe. So in some languages it may be natural to make that explicit. For example:

Most of the people still did not believe in him. (NLT)

General Comment on 12:37a–b

In some languages it may be natural to translate the unexpected result in 12:37b by following this example:

He had worked a lot of miracles among the people, but they were still not willing to have faith in him. (CEV)

uW Translation Notes:

σημεῖα

signs

See how you translated signs in [2:11](../02/11.md). See also the discussion of signs in Part 3 of the General Introduction to the Gospel of John. Alternate translation: [significant miracles]

OET (OET-LV) But having_done so_many signs of_him before them, they_were_ not _believing in him,

OET (OET-RV) Even though Yeshua had done so many miracles in front of the people, they didn’t believe that he was the messiah.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
