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 7:6–9

Jesus told his brothers that this was not the right time for him to go to Jerusalem.

7:7a

The world cannot hate you,

The people of the world cannot hate you^(plur),
The people of the world have no need/reason to hate you^(plur),

The world cannot hate you: The phrase The world refers in a general way to the people in the world. This is the first time in John that Jesus speaks of the world as his enemy. Before this he talked about loving and saving the world.

Here is another way to translate this clause:

the people of the world cannot hate you

cannot hate you: This verb clause indicates that people in general had no reason to hate Jesus’ brothers. They did not think that Jesus’ brothers were their enemies; so they did not hate and reject them. This was true because the brothers’ attitude agreed with their own, not because the people were good and loving.

7:7b

but it hates Me,

but they do hate me
but as for me, they do hate me

but: The conjunction but here indicates a contrast. Jesus contrasted the world’s attitude to his brothers and its attitude to him.

it hates Me: The pronoun it refers to the people of the world. If you used a plural noun like “people” in 7:7a, you will need to use a plural pronoun here. For example:

but they hate me

7:7c

because I testify that its works are evil.

because I declare against them that I know that their deeds are evil.
because I tell them that they are doing wrong.

because: This conjunction introduces the reason why the people of the world hated Jesus.

I testify that its works are evil: The clause I testify means “I tell publicly,” or “I tell what I witnessed.” See the notes on 1:7a and 1:15a, where the same verb is used.

Here are other ways to translate this clause:

I give evidence that its ways are evil (NJB)

I keep telling it that its ways are bad (GNT)

I accuse it of doing evil (NLT)

its works are evil: Jesus declares that what people do is evil. The pronoun its refers to the people of the world that do not believe in Jesus. If you translated “The world” in 7:7a with a plural noun (such as “people”), you will need to use a plural pronoun here. For example:

they do evil things (CEV)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

οὐ δύναται ὁ κόσμος μισεῖν ὑμᾶς

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: οὒ δύναται Ὁ κόσμος μισεῖν ὑμᾶς ἐμέ δέ μισεῖ ὅτι ἐγώ μαρτυρῶ περί αὐτοῦ ὅτι τά ἔργα αὐτοῦ πονηρά ἐστίν)

The world here refers to the people who live in the world. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [All the people in the world are not able to hate you]

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

μισεῖ & περὶ αὐτοῦ & τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ

˱it˲_˓is˒_hating & (Some words not found in SR-GNT: οὒ δύναται Ὁ κόσμος μισεῖν ὑμᾶς ἐμέ δέ μισεῖ ὅτι ἐγώ μαρτυρῶ περί αὐτοῦ ὅτι τά ἔργα αὐτοῦ πονηρά ἐστίν)

In this verse, it refers to the people in the world. If you translated the world with a plural noun, then you should change these pronouns to plural form as well. Alternate translation: [they hate … about them … their works]

ἐγὼ μαρτυρῶ περὶ αὐτοῦ, ὅτι τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ πονηρά ἐστιν

Alternate translation: [I tell them that what they are doing is evil]
