OET (OET-LV) And I_have_known that the command of_him is eternal life.
Therefore what I am_speaking, as the father has_said to_me, thus I_am_speaking.

OET (OET-RV) And I’m fully aware that obeying his commands leads to living forever. Therefore whenever I speak, I just say whatever the father said to me.”

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 12:44–50: Jesus came to save the people

Jesus taught the people about who he was and why he had come into the world. He encouraged people to believe in him and receive his word. He emphasized that he came from God and was obedient to God in everything he said. Here are some other possible titles for this section:

The need to receive Jesus’ word

Believing in Jesus or rejecting him

12:50a

And I know that His command leads to eternal life.

And I know that His command leads to eternal life: This sentence indicates that God’s command (see 12:49b) results in eternal life. God’s command brings eternal life to those who follow it. Here are other ways to translate this sentence:

And I know that this command brings eternal life. (GNT)

And I know that eternal life comes from what the Father commands. (NCV)

what he has commanded causes people to live forever (TH)

His command: This phrase refers to the commandment that God gave to Jesus in 12:49b.

eternal life: This phrase refers to living forever with God, life with God that never ends. See how you translated this phrase in 12:25. Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

unending life

life that never ends

living forever with God

12:50b

So I speak exactly what the Father has told Me to say.”

So: This word introduces what Jesus did because he knew that the Father’s command brings life (12:50a).

I speak exactly what the Father has told Me to say: The phrase I speak exactly refers to what Jesus had been telling the people. Jesus had said just what the Father had told him to say. Here are other ways to translate this sentence:

That is why I tell you exactly what the Father has told me. (CEV)

so I say whatever the Father tells me to say (NLT)

So whatever I say is what the Father told me to say. (NCV)

the Father: This phrase refers to God. See the note on 12:49b and translate it here as you did there.

This is the second and final part or division of John’s Gospel. In this division John wrote about how Jesus fulfilled the task his Father had given him.
