SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 7:1–9: Jesus’ brothers did not believe in him

Every year Jewish men went to Jerusalem to celebrate the festival of Booths. Jesus’ brothers told him that he should go, but he did not want to go at that time. They thought that he should show himself to the world, but they did not believe in him.

Here are some other possible section headings:

Jesus’ brothers want him to go to the festival in Jerusalem

The unbelief of Jesus’ brothers

Paragraph 7:1–5

Jesus realized that the Jewish leaders wanted to kill him. He wanted to stay away from the public as much as possible. But it was almost time for the festival of Booths, celebrated annually in Jerusalem. His brothers encouraged him to attend.

7:2

However, the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles was near.

However: The Greek word that the BSB translates as However here introduces some background information. The Greek word sometimes indicates a minor contrast, so some English translations like the BSB translate the word as However or “But” (NIV, NLT, REB). Jesus wanted to avoid Judea but people would expect him to go to the festival of Booths. Other English versions translate the word as “Now.” Other English translations do not translate this word (GNT, CEV, NCV, GW). Introduce this background information in a way that is natural in your language.

the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles was near: This clause indicates that the Feast of Tabernacles would be celebrated in the near future—probably in a few days or a couple of weeks.

Here are other ways to translate this clause:

But soon it was time for the Jewish Festival of Shelters (NLT)

It was almost time for the Jewish festival of Booths

the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles: This phrase refers to an important Jewish feast. It was held at the time of the autumn harvest and lasted for one week. During this festival the people stayed in booths or shelters made from tree branches. They did this to remember how they had lived in tents in the desert after they left Egypt. See Deuteronomy 16:13–15.

Here are other ways to translate this phrase:

the Jewish festival of Booths (NRSV)

the Jewish Feast of Shelters (NCV)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-background

In this verse John briefly stops telling about the events in the story in order to give background information about when the events happened. Use the natural form in your language for expressing background information. Alternate translation: [This event took place near the time of the Shelters Festival, the festival of the Jews]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τῶν Ἰουδαίων

˱of˲_the Jews

Unlike in the previous verse and throughout this chapter, the Jews here refers to the Jewish people in general. It does not refer to the Jewish leaders. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [of the Jewish people]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

7:2 Jewish men were required to come to the Temple for the Festival of Shelters (Exod 23:14-17; Deut 16:16), an annual seven-day autumn harvest festival in Jerusalem six months after Passover (John 6:4). People lived in temporary shelters for the seven days as a reminder of the tents Israel used for forty years in the wilderness.
