OET interlinear YHN (JHN) 6:27

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / extrainfo

τὴν βρῶσιν τὴν μένουσαν εἰς ζωὴν αἰώνιον

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐργάζεσθε Μή τήν βρῶσιν τήν ἀπολλυμένην ἀλλά τήν βρῶσιν τήν μένουσαν εἰς ζωήν αἰώνιον ἥν ὁ Υἱός τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου ὑμῖν δώσει τοῦτον γάρ ὁ Πατήρ ἐσφράγισεν ὁ Θεός)

Jesus is using the word food to refer to himself, because he is the source of salvation, the One who gives eternal life to all who trust him. Jesus lasts forever, and so does the eternal life that he gives. However, the crowd does not understand this, and Jesus does not tell them this plainly at this time. Therefore, you do not need to explain its meaning further here.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐργάζεσθε Μή τήν βρῶσιν τήν ἀπολλυμένην ἀλλά τήν βρῶσιν τήν μένουσαν εἰς ζωήν αἰώνιον ἥν ὁ Υἱός τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου ὑμῖν δώσει τοῦτον γάρ ὁ Πατήρ ἐσφράγισεν ὁ Θεός)

John records Jesus leaving out a word that a clause would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply this word from the previous clause. Alternate translation: [work for the food that endures to eternal life]

These two expressions are all refer to Jesus. He is referring to himself in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in the first person. Alternate translation: [I, the Son of Man, will give … me]
