YHN 10:38 Parallel Verse View

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 as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations. Click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. 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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-connect-condition-fact

εἰ δὲ ποιῶ

if but ˱I˲_˓am˒_doing

Jesus is speaking as if this were a hypothetical possibility, but he means that it is actually true. If your language does not state something as a condition if it is certain or true, and if your readers might think that what Jesus is saying is not certain, then you could translate his words as an affirmative statement. Alternate translation: [But since I am doing them]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τοῖς ἔργοις πιστεύετε

˱in˲_the works ˓be˒_believing

Here, believe in means to acknowledge that the works Jesus does are done with the authority of the Father and prove that he is God. You could include this information if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [believe that the works I do are from God] or [believe that the works I do are done with God’s power]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ἐν ἐμοὶ ὁ Πατὴρ, κἀγὼ ἐν τῷ Πατρί

in me_‹is› the Father and_I_‹am› in the Father

Jesus uses the word in to express the close personal relationship between himself and God. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [my Father has a close relationship with me, and I have a close relationship with my Father]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet

ἐν ἐμοὶ ὁ Πατὴρ, κἀγὼ ἐν τῷ Πατρί

in me_‹is› the Father and_I_‹am› in the Father

These two phrases mean basically the same thing. The repetition is used to emphasize that the truth of what Jesus is saying. If your language does not use repetition in this way, you could combine these phrases. Alternate translation: [my Father and I are completely joined together as one]
