SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 6:22–59: Jesus is the bread that gives life

In this section Jesus spoke in figurative language about how he himself is the source of eternal life. He called himself “the bread of life” and said that people must “eat” his flesh and “drink” his blood. These words caused a lot of argument.

Paragraph 6:43–51

In this paragraph Jesus answered those who criticized him. He told them that only God could cause them to have faith in him. If they believed on him, they would receive eternal life.

6:47a

Truly, truly, I tell you,

I tell you the truth,
I assure you that

Truly, truly, I tell you: Jesus was emphasizing what he was about to say. This is the same phrase that he used in 1:51a. See the note there.

Here are other ways to translate this phrase:

I am telling you the truth (GNT)

I tell you for certain (CEV)

6:47b

he who believes has eternal life.

the person who believes has spiritual life that lasts forever.
the person who believes in him/me will live forever with God.

he who believes has eternal life: The phrase he who believes refers to anyone and everyone who believes in Jesus. Consider whether it is most natural in your language to translate this phrase using a singular or a plural subject.

Here are other ways to translate this clause:

everyone who has faith in me has eternal life (CEV)

the one who believes has eternal life (NET)

all who believe in me have eternal life

believes: When the word believes is used without an object, it is usually a short way of saying “believes in Jesus.” So this word includes the idea of believing the facts about who Jesus was and what he did. But it also includes the idea of trusting Jesus instead of trusting oneself or someone else. Both ideas are very closely related. If someone believes the facts about Jesus, it should result in trusting him. Here are other ways to translate this idea:

has faith in me (CEV)

trusts in me

believes in me

has eternal life: The word eternal refers to something that does not end. The phrase eternal life refers to the new spiritual life that God gives us when we believe in Jesus. This life will never end. See the note at 3:15 and how you translated this phrase there and in 6:27b and 40b. Here are some other ways to translate this whole phrase:

has forever life from God

has spiritual life that never ends

will live forever with God

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

ἀμὴν, ἀμὴν, λέγω ὑμῖν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἀμήν ἀμήν λέγω ὑμῖν ὁ πιστεύων ἔχει ζωήν αἰώνιον)

Jesus uses this phrase to emphasize the truth of the statement that follows. See how you translated this phrase in [1:51](../01/51.md).

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ὁ πιστεύων

the_‹one› believing

John records Jesus leaving out some of the words that a clause would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the context. Alternate translation: [the one believing in me] or [the one believing that I am the Messiah]
