OET (OET-LV) But we_have_known this one from_where he_is.
But the chosen_one/messiah whenever he_may_be_coming, no_one is_knowing from_where he_is.

OET (OET-RV) But we even know where this man is from. Surely when the messiah comes, no one would know his family background.”

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 7:25–31: People wondered if Jesus was the Messiah

Many people began to believe that Jesus was the Messiah. The authorities tried to arrest Jesus, but it was not yet the time that God would allow that to happen.

Here are some other possible section headings:

Many people believed that Jesus was the Messiah

Many believed in Jesus, but the leaders tried to arrest him

Paragraph 7:25–27

No one stopped Jesus preaching, and some people from Jerusalem noticed that. They began to wonder if the Jewish leaders did not stop him because they changed their ideas about him. But the people knew who Jesus was and where he came from. They thought that they would not know where the Messiah was from.

7:27a

But we know where this man is from.

See the General Comment on 7:27a-c for a way to reorder the clauses in this verse.

But we know where this man is from: This clause indicates that the people all knew that Jesus was from the town called Nazareth in Galilee. This was his home town, and he was often called “Jesus of Nazareth.” (See John 1:45, and also Mark 1:9, 24.) In some languages it may be necessary to say explicitly where Jesus was from. For example:

But we know this man is from Nazareth

But: This conjunction here indicates that the people were challenging the suggestion in 7:26c that Jesus might actually be the Messiah. They knew where Jesus came from, which would not be true if he was the Messiah.

we: This pronoun is inclusive here. The people of Jerusalem were talking to each other.

this man: This phrase refers to Jesus. The people referred to Jesus in a way that did not show respect.

7:27b

When the Christ comes,

In Greek this clause begins with a conjunction that is often translated as “but.” It introduces a contrast between what they thought was true about Jesus and what they believed about the Messiah. They thought that they knew where Jesus was from, but they believed that they would not know where the Messiah was from. That made them doubt that Jesus was the Messiah. It may be helpful to make this clear. For example:

But how could that be? (CEV)

When the Christ comes: This clause refers to a time that they thought was still in the future. They did not think that Jesus was the Messiah, so they thought that the Messiah had not yet come. In some languages it may be good to make this idea clearer. For example:

when the Messiah will come

when the real Christ comes (NCV)

7:27c

no one will know where He is from.”

no one will know where He is from: This clause explains something many Jewish people at that time believed about the Messiah. They thought no one would know his origin. The Messiah would just come or appear and no one would know where he had come from. For example:

he will simply appear; no one will know where he comes from (NLT)

General Comment on 7:27b–c

In some languages it may be natural to combine the information in 7:27b and 7:27c. For example:

No one knows where the Messiah will come from. (CEV)

General Comment on 7:27a–c

The Greek text states first what is known (where Jesus is from) and then what is unknown (where the Messiah is from). The BSB follows the order of the Greek. However in some languages it is more natural to reverse the order of 7:27a and b-c. For example:

27bBut when the Messiah comes, 27cno one will know where he is from. 27aAnd we all know where this man comes from. (GNT)

27b–cNo one knows where the Messiah will come from, 27abut we know where this man comes from. (CEV)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τοῦτον

this_‹one›

John records the Jerusalemites saying this one as a disrespectful way to refer to Jesus without saying his name. If your language has a similar way to refer to someone in an indirect but derogatory manner, you may use it here. Alternate translation: [this so-and-so]
