OET-LV Simōn Petros answered to_him:
master, to whom ˓will˒_we_be_going_away?

OET (OET-RV) “Master,” Shim’on (Simon) answered, “if we went, who would we follow then? You’re the only one who teaches about living forever.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 6:60–71: Jesus had the words of eternal life

This section describes Jesus’ followers dividing into groups. Many of them rejected Jesus’ teaching that he was the bread of life, and they stopped following him. But the twelve (12) apostles, with Simon Peter speaking for them, understood that Jesus brought them true words from God that give life.

Here are other possible titles for this section:

Simon Peter recognized that Jesus had the words of eternal life

Many of Jesus’ followers stopped following him

Paragraph 6:66–71

This paragraph tells the result of Jesus’ words. His disciples reacted in one of two ways: they rejected him or believed him.

6:68a

Simon Peter replied, “Lord, to whom would we go?

Simon Peter replied: This clause indicates that Simon Peter spoke for the whole group. He knew (or thought he knew) what they all thought.

Lord, to whom would we go?: This is a rhetorical question. Peter used it to emphasize that there was no one else whom the twelve (12) could follow. It implies that the twelve would not stop following Jesus. There are two ways to translate this rhetorical question:

Translate this rhetorical question in a way that is natural in your language.

It may be necessary to make explicit Peter’s implied answer to Jesus’ question in 6:67, that the twelve would not stop following Jesus. For example:

No! There is no one else to go/turn to!

6:68b

You have the words of eternal life.

You have the words of eternal life: This clause gives the grounds or reason for Peter’s decision to continue following Jesus.

Here are other ways to translate this clause:

Your words give eternal life. (GW)

You speak the words that lead to eternal life.

You may want to make explicit the relationship between the clauses in 6:68a–b, indicating that this clause gives a reason. For example:

because only you teach how to have eternal life.

the words of eternal life: This phrase refers to Jesus’ teaching about eternal life. Jesus had told them how to receive eternal life, and they believed him.

Here are other ways to translate this phrase:

the message of eternal life (NJB)

the words that give eternal life (NCV)

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 phrase:

forever life from God

spiritual life that never ends

living forever with God

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-names

Σίμων Πέτρος

Simon Peter

See how you translated the name Simon Peter in 1:40.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

Κύριε, πρὸς τίνα ἀπελευσόμεθα

Lord (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀπεκρίθη αὐτῷ Σίμων Πέτρος Κύριε πρός τίνα ἀπελευσόμεθα ῥήματα ζωῆς αἰωνίου Ἔχεις)

Simon Peter is using the form of a question to emphasize that he desires to follow only Jesus. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [Lord, we could never follow anyone but you!]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

ῥήματα ζωῆς αἰωνίου ἔχεις

˓the˒_words ˱of˲_life eternal (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἀπεκρίθη αὐτῷ Σίμων Πέτρος Κύριε πρός τίνα ἀπελευσόμεθα ῥήματα ζωῆς αἰωνίου Ἔχεις)

Peter uses of to describe words that give eternal life. If this is not clear in your language, you could use express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: [You have words that give eternal life]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ῥήματα

˓the˒_words

John records Peter using the term words to describe the things that Jesus taught by using words. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [the teaching]
