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 6:52–59

This paragraph continues Jesus’ extended metaphor comparing himself to bread/food. The people did not understand what he meant by eating the bread/food. In Jesus’ response he talked about eating his flesh and drinking his blood. Church groups understand the meaning of what Jesus said in different ways. Here are the two major interpretations:

  1. Jesus used the words “eat” and “drink” figuratively. He meant that people must believe in the Son of Man and receive him personally so that they would have life. He is spiritual food and spiritual drink, giving spiritual life and strength to those who trust him.

  2. Jesus was referring to communion and so the words “eat” and “drink” should be understood more literally. He meant that people must take communion to have spiritual life and strength.

Some of the disciples that heard Jesus understood his words literally. And today, church groups understand this passage in different ways. So it is recommended that you translate it more literally. Do not explain Jesus’ expressions in your translation.

6:59

Jesus said this while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum.

synagogue: This word refers to a building where Jews gathered to pray, read Scripture, teach their beliefs, and worship God. The Jews also gathered in synagogues for cultural activities. Most Jewish communities had a synagogue.

Here are some ways to translate synagogue:

prayer-houses of the Jews

meeting-places of the Jews

buildings for worship

houses for gathering together

You will need a different term to translate synagogue than you use for temple. There was only one temple, and it was in the city of Jerusalem.

If the word synagogue is already known in your area, you may write it following the sounds of your language. You may want to include a word or phrase to explain the meaning. For example:

sinagog house/building

Consider using a footnote that contains some of the information above. Such a footnote may help people who read your translation. See Luke 7:5 and Acts 15:21.

Capernaum: The town of Capernaum is also mentioned in 2:12, Matthew 4:13, Mark 1:21, and Luke 4:23. Refer to it in the same way in all these verses.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-background

In this verse John gives background information about when this event happened. Use the natural form in your language for expressing background information.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ταῦτα

these_‹things›

Here, these things refers to what Jesus said to the crowd and Jewish leaders in verses [26–58](../06/26.md). If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [these teachings about being the bread of life]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

6:1-71 Each story in this chapter uses the setting of the Passover Festival (6:4) to communicate a deeper meaning.
