OET interlinear YHN (JHN) 21:24

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ μαθητὴς ὁ μαρτυρῶν περὶ τούτων, καὶ ὁ γράψας ταῦτα, καὶ οἴδαμεν ὅτι ἀληθὴς αὐτοῦ ἡ μαρτυρία ἐστίν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Οὗτος ἐστίν ὁ μαθητής ὁ μαρτυρῶν περί τούτων καί ὁ γράψας ταῦτα καί οἴδαμεν ὅτι ἀληθής αὐτοῦ ἡ μαρτυρία ἐστίν)

In this verse John is speaking about himself in the third person. If this is confusing in your language, you can use the first person. Alternate translation: [I am the disciple who testifies about these things and who wrote these things, and we know that my testimony is true]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τούτων & ταῦτα

these_‹things› & these_‹things›

In this verse, these things refers to everything that John has written in this Gospel. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [everything in this book … all these things]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / exclusive

οἴδαμεν

˱we˲_˓have˒_known

The pronoun we is exclusive. Your language may require you to mark this form.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / extrainfo

οἴδαμεν

˱we˲_˓have˒_known

Here, we could refer to: (1) John and the other eyewitnesses to the earthly life of Jesus, as in [1:14](../01/14.md) and [1 John 1:2–7](../../1jn/01/02.md). Alternate translation: [We eyewitnesses of Jesus’ life know] (2) the elders in the church at Ephesus where John lived at the end of his life. Alternate translation: [We elders of the church at Ephesus know] However, since who we refers to is uncertain, it would be best not to explain the meaning further.
