OET interlinear YHN (JHN) 13:10

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / pastforfuture

λέγει

˓is˒_saying

Here John uses the present tense in past narration in order to call attention to a development in the story.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ὁ λελουμένος οὐκ ἔχει χρείαν, εἰ μὴ τοὺς πόδας νίψασθαι

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: λέγει αὐτῷ Ὁ Ἰησοῦς Ὁ λελουμένος οὐκ ἔχει χρείαν εἰ μή τούς πόδας νίψασθαι ἀλλʼ ἐστίν καθαρός ὅλος καί ὑμεῖς καθαροί ἐστέ ἀλλʼ οὐχί πάντες)

In this verse, Jesus uses washed to refer to God forgiving a person for their sins. He also uses feet to refer to daily sins, because people in Jesus’ culture had to wash their feet frequently due to wearing sandals while walking on dusty, dirty roads. If this might confuse your readers, you could state their meanings clearly or use similes. Alternate translation: [The one who has received God’s forgiveness for their sins, only needs to be forgiven for his daily sins]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ὁ λελουμένος

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: λέγει αὐτῷ Ὁ Ἰησοῦς Ὁ λελουμένος οὐκ ἔχει χρείαν εἰ μή τούς πόδας νίψασθαι ἀλλʼ ἐστίν καθαρός ὅλος καί ὑμεῖς καθαροί ἐστέ ἀλλʼ οὐχί πάντες)

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. Alternate translation: [The one who someone has washed]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἀλλ’ ἔστιν καθαρὸς ὅλος; καὶ ὑμεῖς καθαροί ἐστε

but but (Some words not found in SR-GNT: λέγει αὐτῷ Ὁ Ἰησοῦς Ὁ λελουμένος οὐκ ἔχει χρείαν εἰ μή τούς πόδας νίψασθαι ἀλλʼ ἐστίν καθαρός ὅλος καί ὑμεῖς καθαροί ἐστέ ἀλλʼ οὐχί πάντες)

In this verse, Jesus uses clean to refer to someone who has been forgiven for their sins. If this might be confusing in your language, you could state its meaning clearly or use a simile. Alternate translation: [but he has been completely forgiven for his sins, and you have been forgiven]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / yousingular

ὑμεῖς

you_all

Here Jesus uses the word you to refer to all of his disciples, not only Peter. Use a plural form of you if your language distinguishes between singular and plural you.
