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. 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.

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).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἐξ ἐμαυτοῦ
from myself
Here, from is used to indicate the source of what Jesus spoke. See how you translated this phrase in 7:17. Alternate translation: “by my own authority”
Note 2 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples
ὁ & Πατὴρ
the & Father
Father is an important title for God.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / doublet
τί εἴπω, καὶ τί λαλήσω
what ˱I˲_/may/_say and what ˱I˲_/may/_speak
Here, what I should speak could refer to: (1) the manner in which Jesus should speak. Alternate translation: “what I should say and the manner in which I should say it” (2) the same meaning as what I should say, in which case the two phrases would be a doublet used for emphasis and could be combined into one clause. Alternate translation: “exactly what I should say”
