OET interlinear YHN (JHN) 8:50

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

οὐ ζητῶ τὴν δόξαν μου

not /am/_seeking the glory ˱of˲_me

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of glory, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “I do not seek to glorify myself”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἔστιν ὁ ζητῶν καὶ κρίνων

˱he˲_is the_‹one› seeking and judging

Here, one refers to God. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: “God is the one seeking and judging”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ὁ ζητῶν

the_‹one› seeking

Here, Jesus is leaving out some of the words that a clause would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the context. Alternate translation: “one seeking my glory”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

κρίνων

judging

Jesus is leaving out some of the words that a clause would need in many languages to be complete. Here, judging could refer to: (1) God judging between what Jesus said about himself and what his Jewish opponents were saying about him. Alternate translation: “judging between your testimony and mine” (2) God condemning those who dishonor Jesus. Alternate translation: “judging those who dishonor me”
