SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 8:21–30: Jesus predicted his death

In this section Jesus told the Pharisees about his death, but they did not understand him. He also told them that he came from heaven. And he said that the Father had sent him and told him what to say and was always with him. He also told them that unless they believed in him, their sins would not be forgiven when they died if they did not believe in him. However, Many who heard him believed in him.

Here are some other possible section headings:

The Pharisees did not understand what Jesus said about his death or his Father

Jesus’ coming death and his relationship with his Father

Paragraph 8:25–30

Jesus continued to say that he was from God. He told the religious leaders that if they really believed what he taught, they would know what was true. If they were God’s children, they would love him. They could not believe him because they did not belong to God.

Jesus, however, honored his Father God. He did not seek glory for himself but God sought it for him and glorified him. Finally Jesus said that he existed before Abraham, and he used the divine “I am” title for himself. Then the Jews picked up stones to kill him but he escaped.

8:27

They did not understand that He was telling them about the Father.

The religious leaders did not realize that Jesus was telling them about his heavenly Father.
Jesus spoke about God, his heavenly Father, but the people listening did not understand/know that.

They did not understand that He was telling them about the Father: This is a background or parenthetical note by the author John. He informed his readers about something they might not understand—that the religious leaders did not realize that Jesus was referring to God the Father. In your translation, it may be necessary to indicate that the Father refers to God, not to any earthly father. For example:

They did not realize/know that he was talking about his heavenly Father.

uW Translation Notes:
