OET (OET-RV) One man had been there for thirty-eight years,

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 5:1–18: Jesus healed a lame man by a pool on the Sabbath

In this section Jesus healed a lame man who was lying by a pool of water. Because Jesus healed him on a Sabbath day, the Jewish leaders became angry. They believed that healing a person was work and that Jews should not work on the Sabbath.

The man who was healed did not know who had healed him. Then Jesus met this man in the temple. He told him that he should not sin anymore. The healed man went to the Jewish leaders and told them that it was Jesus who had healed him.

Here are some other possibilities for a section heading:

Jesus healed a lame man on the Sabbath.

Jewish leaders criticized Jesus for healing a man on the holy/rest day.

Paragraph 5:5–7

Jesus met a man who had been lame for thirty-eight (38) years. Jesus asked the man if he wanted to get well.

5:5

One man there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years.

One man there: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as One man is more literally “a certain man.” This expression here introduces a major character in this incident. In some languages there are other ways of introducing a major character in a story. For example:

Now a certain man was present there

Among them was a man (REB)

Beside the pool was a man (CEV)

had been an invalid for thirty-eight years: The Greek word that the BSB translates as an invalid is the same word as in 5:3a. It includes weakness or disability (lack of ability) of any sort. In some languages it is more natural to refer to the specific illness, saying that the man was lame. For example:

who had been lame for 38 years

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-participants

ἦν δέ τις ἄνθρωπος ἐκεῖ

was (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἦν Δέ τὶς ἄνθρωπος ἐκεῖ τριάκοντα ὀκτώ ἔτη ἔχων ἐν τῇ ἀσθενείᾳ αὐτοῦ)

This verse introduces the man lying beside the pool as a new character to the story. Use the natural form in your language for introducing a new character.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἦν & ἐκεῖ

was & there

Here, there refers being at the pool called Bethesda in verse 2. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [was at the Bethesda pool]
