OET (OET-LV) Therefore the Youdaiōns said to him, you_are_ not_yet _having fifty years, and you_have_seen?
Abraʼam

OET (OET-RV) Because of that, the Jewish leaders asked, “You aren’t even fifty years old yet. How could you have seen Abraham?”[fn]

8:57 Abraham lived some 2,000 years before Yeshua.

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.

8:57

Then the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and You have seen Abraham?”

You are not yet fifty years old, and You have seen Abraham?: This is a rhetorical question. The Jewish leaders who opposed Jesus used it as a rebuke. They rebuked him because he implied that he had seen Abraham. There are at least two ways to translate this rebuke:

Translate this rebuke in a way that is most natural in your language. It may be natural to break it into two sentences. For example:

“You are not even fifty years old!” they said. “How could you have seen Abraham?” (CEV)

General Comment on 8:57

In some languages it may be natural to reverse the order of the clauses. For example:

You have never seen Abraham! You are not even fifty years old. (NCV)

How can you say you have seen Abraham? You have not lived even fifty (50) years.

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι

the Jews

See how you translated the Jews in [8:31](../08/31.md). Alternate translation: [the Judeans] or [the Jewish leaders]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

πεντήκοντα ἔτη οὔπω ἔχεις, καὶ Ἀβραὰμ ἑώρακας

fifty years not_yet ˱you˲_˓are˒_having (Some words not found in SR-GNT: εἶπον Οὖν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι πρός αὐτόν πεντήκοντα ἔτη οὔπω ἔχεις καί Ἀβραάμ ἑώρακας)

Here, the Jews opposing Jesus are using this question to express their shock that Jesus claims to have seen Abraham. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate these words as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [You are less than fifty years old! You could not possibly have seen Abraham!]
