OET (OET-LV) Therefore they_were_saying to_him:
Where is the father of_you?
Yaʸsous answered:
You_all_have_known neither me, nor the father of_me.
If you_all_had_known me, you_all_ would _had_known also the father of_me.
OET (OET-RV) “And where is your father?” they asked.
¶ Yeshua answered them, “You don’t know either me or my father. If you did know me, then you’d also know my father.”

οὔτε ἐμὲ οἴδατε, οὔτε τὸν Πατέρα μου. εἰ ἐμὲ ᾔδειτε, καὶ τὸν Πατέρα μου ἂν ᾔδειτε

In this verse, know refers to knowing who Jesus and God actually are, not just knowing information about them. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: “You know neither who I am nor who my Father is; if you had known who I am, you would have known who my Father is also”
Note 2 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples
τὸν Πατέρα
the Father
Father is an important title for God.

Here, Jesus is making a conditional statement that sounds hypothetical, but he is already convinced that the condition is not true. He knows that the Pharisees do not know who he really is and do not really know God. Use a natural form in your language for introducing a condition that the speaker believes is not true. Alternate translation: “you do not know me, because if you did, you would also know my Father”
8:19 Throughout the festival, Jesus’ audience proved they were in the darkness as they misunderstood him. They wanted to meet Jesus’ father, who is God. Since they did not truly know God, they were unable to understand Jesus.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
