Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations.

The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

10:1-42 Chapter 10 continues the series of festival sermons (see study note on 5:1–10:42). Here, the setting is Hanukkah (the Festival of Dedication), the timing of which is crucial to understanding the story (see study note on 10:22).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion
οὐκ ἔστιν γεγραμμένον ἐν τῷ νόμῳ ὑμῶν, ὅτι ἐγὼ εἶπα, θεοί ἐστε?
not ˱it˲_is /having_been/_written in the law ˱of˲_you_all ¬that I said gods ˱you_all˲_are
Here Jesus uses the form of a question to add emphasis. 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: “It is certainly written in your law, ‘I said, “You are gods”’.”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
οὐκ ἔστιν γεγραμμένον
not ˱it˲_is /having_been/_written
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “Did not a prophet write”
Note 3 topic: writing-quotations
οὐκ ἔστιν γεγραμμένον ἐν τῷ νόμῳ ὑμῶν
not ˱it˲_is /having_been/_written in the law ˱of˲_you_all
Here Jesus uses written in your law to introduce a quotation from (Psalm 82:6). Psalms is considered to be part of the Old Testament “wisdom literature.” However, the Jews sometimes used law broadly to refer to the entire Old Testament. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state explicitly that Jesus was quoting from Psalms. Alternate translation: “Has it not been written in the Psalms”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
ἐν τῷ νόμῳ ὑμῶν
in the law ˱of˲_you_all
Jesus is using the name of the first part of the Hebrew Scriptures, the law, to represent the entire Hebrew Scriptures in general. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “in your Scriptures”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person
ἐγὼ εἶπα, θεοί ἐστε
I said gods ˱you_all˲_are
Jesus quotes Psalm 82:6 where God calls some humans gods. Jesus does this in order to show that God also used the word “god” to refer to people other than himself. In the verse that Jesus quotes, the first person I refers to God. If this might be misunderstood by your readers, you could state it explicitly. Alternate translation: “I, God, said, ‘You are gods’”
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes
ἐγὼ εἶπα, θεοί ἐστε
I said gods ˱you_all˲_are
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: “I said that you are gods”
