OET (OET-LV) And they_will_be_doing these things, because they_ not _knew the father nor me.

OET (OET-RV) but they’ll be doing these things because they don’t know either the father or me.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 15:18–16:4b The world would hate the disciples

Jesus warned the disciples that the world would hate them because they did not belong to the world. They now belonged to Jesus and because the world hated Jesus it would also hate them. And because the world hated Jesus, it also hated the Father. When the Holy Spirit came, he would tell about Jesus, and the disciples should tell what they know about him too. Jesus told them these things so that their faith would stay strong.

Here are some other possible section headings:

The world’s hate

The world’s hate for Jesus and his disciples

Paragraph 16:1–4b

Jesus continued to speak to his disciples to prepare them for his leaving them. In this paragraph he again warned them that unbelievers would persecute them.

16:3

They will do these things because they have not known the Father or Me.

They will do these things because they have not known the Father or Me: This sentence explains the reason why unbelievers would kill Jesus’ disciples. The reason was that they did not truly know God or Jesus himself. Here are other ways to translate this sentence:

People will do these things to you because they have not known either the Father or me. (GNT)

They will act like this because they have never had the true knowledge of the Father or of me. (JBP)

They will do this because they have not known the Father and they have not known me. (NCV)

They…they: This word refers to anyone who would persecute or kill the Christians.

will do these things: The phrase these things refers to persecuting Jesus’ disciples and specifically killing them. It refers back to 16:2b. Try to use a phrase that implies doing harm or evil. For example:

will do such things (NIV)

will do these things to you (GNT, GW)

will act in this evil way

because: The Greek conjunction that the BSB translates as because here introduces the reason why people will persecute Jesus’ disciples.

they have not known the Father or Me: This clause indicates that these people did not really or truly know God or Jesus. They knew who God was and they knew who Jesus was. However, they did not have a personal or close relationship with either God or Jesus. See the notes on 14:7a–b and 15:21b. Here is another way of translating this clause:

they have never truly known the Father or me

In some languages it may be natural to repeat the verb. For example:

they have not known the Father and they have not known me (NCV)

have not known: The Greek verb that the BSB translates as have not known here indicates a constant truth. These people had never come to know God or Jesus, and they did not at that present time either. Some think that the sense of the verb is “failed to recognize” or “did not learn that” (Jesus was God’s Son). Here are other ways to translate this Greek verb:

they don’t know (CEV)

they have never known (NLT)

the Father: This phrase refers to God the Father. In some languages it is more natural to say use a personal pronoun:

my Father

Me: This word refers to Jesus. These people knew his name and his earthly home but they did not recognize that he was from God.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples

Πατέρα

Father

Father is an important title for God.

OET (OET-LV) And they_will_be_doing these things, because they_ not _knew the father nor me.

OET (OET-RV) but they’ll be doing these things because they don’t know either the father or me.

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.
