OET interlinear YHN (JHN) 9:16

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὸ Σάββατον οὐ τηρεῖ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἔλεγον Οὖν ἐκ τῶν Φαρισαίων τινές οὐκ ἐστίν οὗτος παρά Θεοῦ ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὅτι τό Σάββατον οὒ τηρεῖ Ἄλλοι ἔλεγον Πῶς δύναται ἄνθρωπος ἁμαρτωλός τοιαῦτα σημεῖα ποιεῖν Καί σχίσμα ἦν ἐν αὐτοῖς)

The phrase he does not keep the Sabbath means he disobeys the regulations for the Sabbath that God gave in the law of Moses. The Pharisees added many regulations which they considered to be equal with those that God had given. It was these additional regulations that Jesus was disobeying, thereby making the Pharisees very angry with him. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [he does not obeying our Sabbath regulations]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οὐκ ἔστιν οὗτος παρὰ Θεοῦ ὁ ἄνθρωπος

not (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἔλεγον Οὖν ἐκ τῶν Φαρισαίων τινές οὐκ ἐστίν οὗτος παρά Θεοῦ ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὅτι τό Σάββατον οὒ τηρεῖ Ἄλλοι ἔλεγον Πῶς δύναται ἄνθρωπος ἁμαρτωλός τοιαῦτα σημεῖα ποιεῖν Καί σχίσμα ἦν ἐν αὐτοῖς)

Here, from is used to indicate Jesus’ origin. He could only have authority if he came from God. Since Jesus was not obeying the Pharisees’ rules, they refused to believe that God had given him authority. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [This man does not have God’s authority]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

πῶς δύναται ἄνθρωπος ἁμαρτωλὸς τοιαῦτα σημεῖα ποιεῖν?

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἔλεγον Οὖν ἐκ τῶν Φαρισαίων τινές οὐκ ἐστίν οὗτος παρά Θεοῦ ὁ ἄνθρωπος ὅτι τό Σάββατον οὒ τηρεῖ Ἄλλοι ἔλεγον Πῶς δύναται ἄνθρωπος ἁμαρτωλός τοιαῦτα σημεῖα ποιεῖν Καί σχίσμα ἦν ἐν αὐτοῖς)

Some people are using a rhetorical question here to emphasize that Jesus’ signs prove he is not a sinner. 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: [A sinner cannot possibly do such signs!]

σημεῖα

signs

See how you translated this term in [2:11](../02/11.md). See also the discussion of signs in Part 3 of the General Introduction to the Gospel of John. Alternate translation: [significant miracles]
