OET interlinear YHN (JHN) 7:35

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

εἶπον οὖν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι πρὸς ἑαυτούς

said (Some words not found in SR-GNT: εἶπον Οὖν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι πρός ἑαυτούς Ποῦ οὗτος μέλλει πορεύεσθαι ὅτι ἡμεῖς οὐχ εὑρήσομεν αὐτόν Μή εἰς τήν διασποράν τῶν Ἑλλήνων μέλλει πορεύεσθαι καί διδάσκειν τούς Ἕλληνας)

Here, the Jews refers to the Jewish leaders. See how you translated this term in [1:19](../01/19.md).

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οὗτος

this_‹one›

John records the Jewish leaders saying this one as a disrespectful way to refer to Jesus and to avoid saying his name. See how you translated this phrase in verse [15](../07/15.md). Alternate translation: [this so-and-so]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

μὴ εἰς τὴν διασπορὰν τῶν Ἑλλήνων μέλλει πορεύεσθαι, καὶ διδάσκειν τοὺς Ἕλληνας?

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: εἶπον Οὖν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι πρός ἑαυτούς Ποῦ οὗτος μέλλει πορεύεσθαι ὅτι ἡμεῖς οὐχ εὑρήσομεν αὐτόν Μή εἰς τήν διασποράν τῶν Ἑλλήνων μέλλει πορεύεσθαι καί διδάσκειν τούς Ἕλληνας)

The Jewish leaders are using the form of a question to add emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this type of question by translating these words as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [Surely he is not about to go to the dispersion of the Greeks and to teach the Greeks!]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὴν διασπορὰν

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: εἶπον Οὖν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι πρός ἑαυτούς Ποῦ οὗτος μέλλει πορεύεσθαι ὅτι ἡμεῖς οὐχ εὑρήσομεν αὐτόν Μή εἰς τήν διασποράν τῶν Ἑλλήνων μέλλει πορεύεσθαι καί διδάσκειν τούς Ἕλληνας)

Here, dispersion refers to the Jewish people who were spread across the Greek-speaking world that was outside of the land of Israel. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [the Jews who are dispersed] or [the Jews who are scattered]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / possession

τὴν διασπορὰν τῶν Ἑλλήνων

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: εἶπον Οὖν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι πρός ἑαυτούς Ποῦ οὗτος μέλλει πορεύεσθαι ὅτι ἡμεῖς οὐχ εὑρήσομεν αὐτόν Μή εἰς τήν διασποράν τῶν Ἑλλήνων μέλλει πορεύεσθαι καί διδάσκειν τούς Ἕλληνας)

The Jews used the phrase of the Greeks to describe the location where the Jews were dispersed. If this use of the possessive form would be confusing in your language, you could use a different expression. Alternate translation: [the Jews who are dispersed among the Greeks]
