OET interlinear YHN (JHN) 6:50

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / exmetaphor

οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ ἄρτος ὁ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καταβαίνων, ἵνα τις ἐξ αὐτοῦ φάγῃ, καὶ μὴ ἀποθάνῃ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Οὗτος ἐστίν ὁ ἄρτος ὁ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καταβαίνων ἵνα τὶς ἐξ αὐτοῦ φάγῃ καί μή ἀποθάνῃ)

Jesus continues using the bread metaphor to express that one must believe in him in order to have eternal life just as one must eat bread to sustain physical life. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this as a simile. Alternate translation: [I am this bread that comes down from heaven, just as one must eat bread to live, so must one believe in me in order to not die spiritually]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

οὗτός ἐστιν & αὐτοῦ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Οὗτος ἐστίν ὁ ἄρτος ὁ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καταβαίνων ἵνα τὶς ἐξ αὐτοῦ φάγῃ καί μή ἀποθάνῃ)

John records Jesus referring to himself in the third person. If this is confusing in your language, you can use the first person. Alternate translation: [I am … me]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ὁ ἄρτος

the bread

See how you translated this term in verse [48](../06/48.md).

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐξ αὐτοῦ φάγῃ

of it ˓may˒_eat

Jesus uses eat to refer to believing in him for salvation. What Jesus said plainly in verse [47](../06/47.md) he says here. If this would confuse your readers, you could express this with a simile. Alternate translation: [might believe in me as one eats bread to live]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

μὴ ἀποθάνῃ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Οὗτος ἐστίν ὁ ἄρτος ὁ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καταβαίνων ἵνα τὶς ἐξ αὐτοῦ φάγῃ καί μή ἀποθάνῃ)

Jesus uses die to refer to spiritual death, which is eternal punishment in hell that occurs after physical death. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [might not die spiritually] or [might not experience spiritual death]
