SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 7:32–36: Temple guards went to arrest Jesus

The religious leaders continued to oppose Jesus. They sent temple police to arrest him. Jesus told them that he was leaving and they would not be able to find him. He was talking about returning to his Father in heaven. But people did not understand this.

Here are some other possible section headings:

Jewish leaders sent men to arrest Jesus

The Jewish leaders were confused by what Jesus said

7:36a

What does He mean by saying,

What did he mean when he said,
What could he mean when he said

What does He mean by saying…?: This question indicates that the Jewish authorities did not understand what Jesus meant. They were confused by what he said. Consider how it is natural to express this confusion in your language. Also consider whether it is natural to use the present tense to refer to something that has just been said. In some languages it may be more natural to use the past tense in this question.

Here are other ways to translate this question:

What did he mean when he said…? (NIV)

What is he talking about?

What is he trying to tell us?

7:36b

‘You will look for Me, but you will not find Me,’

‘You^(plur) will look for me, but you^(plur) will not be able to find me?’
that we^(incl) would try to find him but would not succeed?

You will look for Me, but you will not find Me: This is a direct quotation of Jesus’ words in 7:34a. Translate it so that this is clear. See the General Comment on 7:36a–c for a way to avoid having a quotation inside another quotation. It may be more natural to use an indirect quotation. If that is true, you will need to change the pronouns and say something like this:

that we^(incl) will search for him and will not find him

7:36c

and, ‘Where I am, you cannot come’?”

And what did he mean when he said, ‘Where I will be, you^(plur) will not be able to come?’”
And what could he mean when he said that we^(incl) cannot go where he will go?”

Where I am, you cannot come: This is again an exact quotation of Jesus’ words, this time from 7:34b. It may be more natural to use an indirect quotation. For example:

that where he is, we^(incl) cannot come/go

General Comment on 7:36a–c

This verse includes two quotations inside a quotation. In some languages it may be natural to translate the inner quotations as indirect quotes, as the GNT did. The GNT also reordered the verse, placing the question of 7:36a at the end:

^36bHe says that we will look for him but will not find him, ^36cand that we cannot go where he will be. ^36aWhat does he mean? (GNT)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

τίς ἐστιν ὁ λόγος οὗτος ὃν εἶπε

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Τίς ἐστίν ὁ λόγος οὗτος ὅν εἶπεν Ζητήσετε μέ καί οὐχ εὑρήσετε μέ καί ὅπου εἰμί ἐγώ ὑμεῖς οὒ δύνασθε ἐλθεῖν)

Here, word is used to refer to the meaning of the message that Jesus had shared. The Jewish leaders had failed to understand that message. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [What was he talking about when he said]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

εἶπε, ζητήσετέ με, καὶ οὐχ εὑρήσετέ; καὶ ὅπου εἰμὶ ἐγὼ, ὑμεῖς οὐ δύνασθε ἐλθεῖν

If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation, as in the UST.

ζητήσετέ με, καὶ οὐχ εὑρήσετέ; καὶ ὅπου εἰμὶ ἐγὼ, ὑμεῖς οὐ δύνασθε ἐλθεῖν

See how you translated this in verse [34](../07/34.md).
