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 7:28–31

Jesus continued teaching in the temple. He declared that he was from God and that he knew God. Some of the people listening were angry and wanted to arrest him, but many others believed that he was the Messiah.

7:29

but I know Him, because I am from Him and He sent Me.”

but as for me, I do know him, because I come from him and he told me to come.”
I am the one who knows God because I came from him. He sent me to you.”

but I know Him: The Greek text emphasizes the pronoun I to make a contrast with “you” in 7:28e. The BSB includes the word but to make the contrast clear.

Jesus again said that he knew God. In some languages it may again be necessary to make this explicit. For example:

I do know God.

because I am from Him and He sent Me: The clauses I am from Him and He sent Me are parallel. Together they mean “I was sent by God.” This explains why Jesus was able to say that he knew God.

Here are other ways to translate these clauses:

because I come from him and he sent me here (JBP)

because I came from him, and he is the one who sent me to you

because he sent me and I have come from him
