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.

8:29a

He who sent Me is with Me.

The one who sent me is with me now/always;
He who sent me is my companion.

He who sent Me is with Me: The phrase He who sent Me is with Me refers to God the Father. God the Father is always with Jesus. Here are other ways to translate this clause:

The one who sent me is with me now. (JBP)

He who sent me is present with me (REB)

8:29b

He has not left Me alone,

he has not left me by myself,
He has not abandoned me,

He has not left Me alone: This clause indicates that God had never abandoned Jesus. He remained with him at all times.

8:29c

because I always do what pleases Him.”

because I always do what pleases him.”
because I always do the things that he wants me to do.”

because: The Greek conjunction that the BSB translates as because here introduces the reason why God never left Jesus. Here is another way to translate this conjunction:

for (NRSV)

I always do what pleases Him: This clause indicates that Jesus always acted in union with God his Father. This is the reason why God was always present with him. Here are other ways to translate this clause:

because I always do what pleases him (GNT)

because I always do those things that please him (NET)

General Comment on 8:29b–c

In some languages it may be natural to reverse the order of 8:29b–c. For example:

^29cI always do what is pleasing to him, ^29bso he has not left me alone. (NCV)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὁ πέμψας με

the_‹one› ˓having˒_sent (Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί ὁ πέμψας μέ μετʼ ἐμοῦ ἐστίν οὐκ ἀφῆκεν μέ μόνον ὅτι ἐγώ τά ἀρεστά αὐτῷ ποιῶ πάντοτε)

This phrase refers to God. See how you translated this phrase in [4:34](../04/34.md).

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

μετ’ ἐμοῦ

with me

Jesus uses with me to refer to God’s help. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [helping me]
