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.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

12:1-50 Two stories build simultaneously. A growing number of people are praising Jesus (this climaxes in 12:12-13), and the authorities are increasingly determined to arrest him and put him to death.
• John records three events that occurred just days prior to Passover (12:1-11, 12-19, 20-36). Then he explains why most of the people refused to believe and details Jesus’ final public appeal (12:37-50).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐγὼ φῶς εἰς τὸν κόσμον ἐλήλυθα

I ˱as˲_/a/_light into the world /have/_come

Here Jesus uses light to refer to himself. See how you translated light in 8:12. Alternate translation: “I have come as the one who reveals God’s truth and goodness to the world”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

εἰς τὸν κόσμον

into the world

Here, world refers to the people who live in it. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “to the people living in the world”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐν τῇ σκοτίᾳ μὴ μείνῃ

in the darkness not /may/_remain

Here Jesus uses darkness to refer to what is false and evil. See how you translated darkness in 12:35 and also see the discussion of light and darkness in the General Notes for Chapter 1. Alternate translation: “might not remain in sin and evil”
