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

Paragraph 12:42–43

This paragraph tells about the Jewish people who did put their faith in Jesus.

12:43

For they loved praise from men more than praise from God.

For: The Greek word that the BSB translates as For here means “because.” It introduces a reason why these Jews did not want to be thrown out of the synagogue.

they loved praise from men more than praise from God: The word they refers to the believers who did not confess that they believed in Jesus. They wanted people to accept and praise them more than they wanted God to praise them. They cared more about what people said about them than what God said about them. Consider how it is natural to make this comparison. For example:

they loved human praise more than the praise of God (NLT)

They were more concerned to have the approval of men than to have the approval of God. (JBP)

In some languages it may be natural to make this comparison using opposite or contrasting statements. For example:

They wanted people to praise them and/but they did not care if God praised them.

The praise of humans was important to them; the praise of God did not matter.

praise from men: This phrase here means “the glory that humans give” or “honor/praise from other people.” See KBT Glory 3. Here are other ways to translate this phrase:

what people thought of them (GW)

praise from God: This phrase refers to the honor and praise that God gives to a person who does what pleases him. See KBT Glory 3. It is recommended that you translate praise here the same way that you translated it in “praise from men” just above.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἠγάπησαν & τὴν δόξαν τῶν ἀνθρώπων μᾶλλον ἤπερ τὴν δόξαν τοῦ Θεοῦ

˱they˲_loved & (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἠγάπησαν Γάρ τήν δόξαν τῶν ἀνθρώπων μᾶλλον ἤπερ τήν δόξαν τοῦ Θεοῦ)

Here, loved refers to preferring one thing over something else. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [they preferred the glory of men more than the glory of God]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

τὴν δόξαν τῶν ἀνθρώπων

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἠγάπησαν Γάρ τήν δόξαν τῶν ἀνθρώπων μᾶλλον ἤπερ τήν δόξαν τοῦ Θεοῦ)

John is using of to describe glory that is given by men. If this is not clear in your language, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: [the glory that is given by men]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations

τὴν δόξαν τῶν ἀνθρώπων

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἠγάπησαν Γάρ τήν δόξαν τῶν ἀνθρώπων μᾶλλον ἤπερ τήν δόξαν τοῦ Θεοῦ)

Although the term men is masculine, John is using the word here in a generic sense that includes both men and women. Alternate translation: [the glory of people]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

τὴν δόξαν τοῦ Θεοῦ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἠγάπησαν Γάρ τήν δόξαν τῶν ἀνθρώπων μᾶλλον ἤπερ τήν δόξαν τοῦ Θεοῦ)

John is using of to describe glory that is given by God. If this is not clear in your language, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: [the glory that is given by God]
