SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 8:39–59: Abraham saw Jesus

In this section Jesus continued to speak to those who did not believe in him. Although they said that they were Abraham’s children and that God was their Father, they did not do what those people would. They did not accept Jesus’ teaching and wanted to kill him. So he said that their real father was the devil, who was a murderer and a liar.

They replied that he was a Samaritan and had a demon. Jesus denied that and said that if they accepted what he said, they would never die. They said that Abraham died and asked if he was greater than him. Jesus replied that he knew Abraham and existed before him. Then they wanted to throw stones at Jesus, but he hid.

Here are some other possible section headings:

Those who rejected Jesus had the devil for a father

Jesus existed before Abraham

Paragraph 8:52–59

Jesus’ opponents were angry that he said that he was able to protect people from death. When Jesus then said that he had existed before Abraham, they became so angry that they tried to kill him.

8:52a

“Now we know that You have a demon!” declared the Jews.

¶ The Jewish people listening/there said, “Now we^(excl) know that you^(sing) are possessed by a demon.
¶ Jesus’ opponents said, “That proves that you^(sing) have an evil spirit in you!

Many Greek manuscripts connect this sentence to the previous sentence with a conjunction that is often translated as “therefore.” For example:

At this (NIV)

Not all Greek manuscripts include this conjunction, but it is implied. You should translate it in the way that is natural in your language. If it is more natural, you may leave it implied, as the BSB has done.

Now we know that You have a demon: Jesus’ opponents had already said that he had a demon (8:48). Now they felt sure that that was true (even though it was not). They thought that what Jesus had just said proved he had a demon. Here are other ways to translate this clause:

Now we are sure that you have a demon. (CEV)

This proves to us^(excl) that you have a demon.

This makes us certain that you have a demon.

we: The pronoun we is exclusive in this context. It does not include Jesus.

You have a demon: The Greek clause that the BSB translates as You have a demon indicates that the speakers thought that an evil spirit controlled or possessed Jesus. They thought that what he had said could not be true, and that an evil spirit had caused him to think and say it. See the note on 8:48. Here are other ways to translate this expression:

you are possessed (REB)

you are possessed by a demon (NLT)

you have a demon in you! (NCV)

the Jews: This phrase continues to refer to those people there at the temple who were against Jesus. See 8:48.

8:52b

“Abraham died, and so did the prophets,

Abraham and the prophets all died.
Abraham and the prophets of God are all dead.

Abraham died, and so did the prophets: These clauses imply that even though Abraham and the prophets served God, they still died. All the Jewish people admired Abraham as the first ancestor of their people and the friend of God. Yet, although he was such a great man, he died. The prophets were also great men, and they also died.

the prophets: A prophet was someone who told the people words that he heard from God, God’s message. See how you translated this word in 1:21d and 4:19b.

8:52c

yet You say that anyone who keeps Your word

However, you^(sing) say, ‘If someone accepts/obeys my word,
However, you^(sing) say that those who hold to your message

yet You say: The word yet introduces a contrast between what had happened in the past and what Jesus said would happen in the future. In the past good people had died, but in the future those who followed Jesus would not die. The speakers did not think that what Jesus said could be true.

anyone who keeps Your word: This expression refers to someone who accepts and obeys Jesus’ teaching. See how you translated this in 8:51b. For example:

’Whoever does what I say….’ (GW)

‘If anyone obeys my teaching….’ (NET)

8:52d

will never taste death.

he will never have the experience of dying.’
will never die.

will never taste death: This phrase means the same as “will never see death” in 8:51b. Use the expression that is natural in your language. There may be an idiom that is natural in this context, or you may translate this phrase without an idiom. For example:

will never meet death

will never die (GNT)

General Comment on 8:52c–d

These clauses include a quotation inside another quotation. The speakers quoted Jesus’ words in 8:51. They did not use exactly the same words, but the meaning is the same. In some languages it may be natural to use an indirect quotation for the inner quotation. For example:

yet you say that whoever obeys your teaching will never die. (GNT)

How can you say that no one who obeys your words will ever die? (CEV)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι

the (Some words not found in SR-GNT: εἶπον αὐτῷ Οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι Νῦν ἐγνώκαμεν ὅτι δαιμόνιον ἔχεις Ἀβραάμ ἀπέθανεν καί οἱ προφῆται καί σύ λέγεις Ἐάν τὶς τόν λόγον μού τηρήσῃ οὒ μή γεύσηται θανάτου εἰς τόν αἰῶνα)

Here, the Jews refers to the Jewish leaders. See how you translated this term in [1:19](../01/19.md).

δαιμόνιον ἔχεις

˓a˒_demon ˱you˲_˓are˒_having

Alternate translation: [a demon is inside of you] or [you must be under the control of a demon]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

σὺ λέγεις, ἐάν τις τὸν λόγον μου τηρήσῃ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: εἶπον αὐτῷ Οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι Νῦν ἐγνώκαμεν ὅτι δαιμόνιον ἔχεις Ἀβραάμ ἀπέθανεν καί οἱ προφῆται καί σύ λέγεις Ἐάν τὶς τόν λόγον μού τηρήσῃ οὒ μή γεύσηται θανάτου εἰς τόν αἰῶνα)

If the direct quotation inside a direct quotation would be confusing in your language, you could translate the second direct quotation as an indirect quotation. Alternate translation: [you say that if anyone keeps your word]

ἐάν τις τὸν λόγον μου τηρήσῃ

See how you translated this in the previous verse.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

οὐ μὴ γεύσηται θανάτου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα

The Jews say here that Jesus used taste to refer to experiencing or participating in something. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [he will certainly not ever experience death]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

θανάτου

˱of˲_death

See how you translated death in the previous verse.

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

Acknowledgements: The SR Greek text, lemmas, morphology, and VLT gloss are all thanks to the CNTR.
