Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). 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.

SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 10:22–42: The Jewish leaders rejected Jesus

The Jewish leaders challenged Jesus to say clearly that he was the Messiah if he was. Jesus told them that he had told them but they did not believe him because they were not his sheep. He said that he gives his sheep eternal life and no one can take them from him.

Jesus also said that he was one with God the Father, so the religious authorities wanted to kill him. They said that this was blasphemy (speaking against God). Jesus said that it was not blasphemy because he was the one God sent into the world. He also said that God was in him and he was in God. His opponents again tried to seize him, and he again escaped from them.

Jesus then went back to the east side of the Jordan River, away from Jerusalem. Many followed him and believed in him.

Here are other possible section headings:

Some Jewish leaders wrongly said that Jesus spoke against God

Jewish leaders became very angry with Jesus

Jewish leaders challenged Jesus

Paragraph 10:34–39

Jesus defended himself against being accused of blasphemy. He said that he was the one God had chosen and sent into the world. He also said that God was in him and he was in God. The people again tried to seize him, and he again escaped from them.

10:39a

At this, they tried again to seize Him,

Again they tried to arrest him,
Once more the religious/Jewish authorities tried to catch/seize Jesus,

At this, they tried again to seize Him: The Jewish leaders again tried to seize or arrest Jesus so that he could not continue to teach the people. See also 7:30 and 8:59. Here are other ways to translate this clause:

The Jews tried to arrest Jesus again (GW)

Again they tried to seize him (NIV)

They again wanted to arrest him then (NJB)

At this: The Greek word that the BSB translates as At this is not included in many manuscripts. That Greek word is often translated as “therefore” and some English translations translate it that way here. Other translations do not include the word, although it is likely original. Translate this word in a way that is natural in your language.

10:39b

but He escaped their grasp.

but he escaped from them.
but they could not because he escaped.

but: The Greek conjunction that the BSB translates as but here indicates a contrast between what people tried to do and what happened. What happened was unexpected. The guards wanted to arrest Jesus but could not do so.

He escaped their grasp: The expression escaped their grasp here indicates that Jesus’ opponents were not able to arrest him. They could not seize him. The expression does not indicate that they had Jesus in their hands and that he later escaped. Here are other ways to translate this clause:

he got away from them (GW)
