OET interlinear YHN (JHN) 6:62

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ἐὰν & θεωρῆτε τὸν Υἱὸν τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου, ἀναβαίνοντα ὅπου ἦν τὸ πρότερον?

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐάν Οὖν θεωρῆτε τόν Υἱόν τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου ἀναβαίνοντα ὅπου ἦν τό πρότερον)

John records Jesus using only one part of a conditional sentence. He leaves out the second part of the conditional sentence for emphasis. Many languages need to have both parts of a conditional sentence in order to make the sentence complete. If this is true for your language, you could supply the second clause from the previous verse. Alternate translation: [if you would see the Son of Man going up to where he was before, would it offend you?]

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

τὸν Υἱὸν τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου, ἀναβαίνοντα ὅπου ἦν τὸ πρότερον

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐάν Οὖν θεωρῆτε τόν Υἱόν τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου ἀναβαίνοντα ὅπου ἦν τό πρότερον)

Jesus is speaking of himself in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in the first person, as in the UST.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὸν Υἱὸν τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐάν Οὖν θεωρῆτε τόν Υἱόν τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου ἀναβαίνοντα ὅπου ἦν τό πρότερον)

See how you translated this phrase in [1:51](../01/51.md).

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὅπου ἦν τὸ πρότερον

where ˱he˲_was (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐάν Οὖν θεωρῆτε τόν Υἱόν τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου ἀναβαίνοντα ὅπου ἦν τό πρότερον)

This phrase refers to heaven, where Jesus was before he came down to earth. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [to heaven, where I used to be]
