OET (OET-LV) And you_all_will_be_knowing the truth, and the truth will_be_freeing you_all.

OET (OET-RV) You will have known the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 8:31–38: Jesus taught truth that frees people

In this section Jesus said that if his believers continued in his word, they would be true disciples. They would know the truth and the truth would make them free. But some people argued that they were never slaves. To them, Jesus said that those who sin are slaves of sin, but the Son could make them free. However, he said that they wanted to kill him because they rejected what he said.

Here are some other possible section headings:

The truth sets people free

Sin makes people slaves, but the Son makes them free

Paragraph 8:31–33

Jesus spoke to those who said that they believed in him. He said that to follow and obey him was the way to freedom. Some who heard him rejected this, saying that as the children of Abraham they were already free.

8:32a

Then you will know the truth,

Then you will know the truth: In this context the conjunction that the BSB translates as Then introduces a second result of the conditional clause in 8:31b.

know the truth: This expression here means to recognize or understand what is true about God. It implies that previously the listeners/disciples did not know the truth. For example:

you will come to know the truth (NJB)

8:32b

and the truth will set you free.”

and the truth will set you free: Jesus implied that his listeners were not free. He implied that they were slaves. (Slaves are people who are owned by someone else, who work without wages and have no rights.) In some languages it may be necessary to indicate or imply what kind of freedom Jesus referred to. He referred to freedom from slavery (being slaves) to sin. For example:

the truth will make you free people

the truth will free you from slavery

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

ἡ ἀλήθεια ἐλευθερώσει ὑμᾶς

the truth ˓will_be˒_freeing you_all

Jesus speaks of truth as though it were a person who could free someone. If this might be confusing for your readers, you could express this meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [knowing the truth will cause you to be free] or [if you obey the truth, God will set you free]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

τὴν ἀλήθειαν & ἡ ἀλήθεια

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Καί γνώσεσθε τήν ἀλήθειαν καί ἡ ἀλήθεια ἐλευθερώσει ὑμᾶς)

Here, the truth refers to what Jesus reveals about God, which would include his plan for forgiving sinful people through Jesus’ death on the cross. If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of truth, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [what is true about God … those true things]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

8:12-59 The debate about whether or not Jesus is the Messiah continues from 7:52. Jesus was still at the Festival of Shelters in Jerusalem. During the festival, the conflicts Jesus had endured in ch 7 continued and intensified.
