SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 16:4c–15 Jesus would send the Holy Spirit

Jesus told his disciples that it was for their benefit that he would leave. That is because he would send the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit would prove that the world was wrong in their sin and righteousness and judgment. He would also lead the disciples into all truth, which comes from Jesus and his Father.

Here are some other possible section headings:

What the Holy Spirit would do when he came

The Holy Spirit will teach the world and Jesus’ disciples

Paragraph 16:4c–11

Jesus told his disciples that he would go back to God and send the Holy Spirit to them. The Holy Spirit would work in the world convicting the people there.

16:11a

and in regard to judgment,

And he will convict unbelievers about their judgment,
He will show the world's people that they are wrong in their judgment,

and in regard to judgment: People of the world were wrong in their judgment. They judged that Jesus deserved to die. But God showed that Jesus was completely right by raising him from the dead. And he judged Satan wrong and condemned him. Translate judgment as you did in 16:8d. It may be natural to begin a new clause or sentence here and repeat the verb from 16:8b. For example:

and he will convict them about their judgment

The Helper will show the world that their judgment is wrong

16:11b

because the prince of this world has been condemned.

because God has nearly judged the ruler of this world.
because it is Satan, the one who rules this world, whom God has condemned.

because the prince of this world has been condemned: It is hard to understand why Jesus said this clause. But scholars agree that the expression the prince of this world has been condemned refers to the death of Christ on the cross. When Christ died on the cross, God actually judged Satan and all that is sinful and wrong. And if the ruler of the (unbelieving) world has been judged, so will the unbelieving world. The Holy Spirit would convict the people of the world that their judging of Jesus and others was wrong. The death of Christ on the cross is the evidence that they were wrong about him. Here are other ways to translate this clause:

because the prince of this world now stands condemned (NIV)

because the ruler of this world has already been judged (GNT)

because God has already condemned Satan who is the leader of those who do not believe in me

the prince of this world: This phrase refers to Satan, the chief demon. See how you translated this phrase in 12:31 and 14:30. It may be necessary to make explicit that this phrase refers to Satan. It is important that your readers understand that Christ was not referring to himself. For example:

Satan, the evil ruler of the world

world: The word world here refers to unbelievers in general. See how you translated this idea in 16:8.

has been condemned: The Greek verb that the BSB translates as condemned here means “judged guilty.” It is a passive verb. The subject is God, who judged and condemned Satan. There are at least two ways to translate it:

Use a passive verb. For example:
the ruler of this world is judged (ESV)
Use an active verb. For example:
God has already judged the ruler of this world (CEV)
God judged that the prince of this world is guilty

Translate this idea in the way that is most natural in your language. In your translation, consider that at the time Jesus spoke, the death of Christ was in the very near future. The Greek text uses a past tense probably because Satan’s condemnation was sure. It was as sure as if it had already happened. Use the tense that is most natural in this context. For example:

God will soon judge the evil spirit which rules this world

περὶ & κρίσεως

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: περί δέ κρίσεως ὅτι ὁ ἄρχων τοῦ κόσμου τούτου κέκριται)

See how you translated the phrase about judgment in [16:8](../16/08.md).

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὁ ἄρχων τοῦ κόσμου τούτου

the ruler ¬the ˱of˲_world this

Here, the ruler of this world refers to Satan. See how you translated this in [12:31](../12/31.md).

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ὁ ἄρχων τοῦ κόσμου τούτου κέκριται

the ruler ¬the ˱of˲_world this ˓has_been˒_judged

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. If you must state who did the action, Jesus implies that God did it. Alternate translation: [God has judged the ruler of this world]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / pastforfuture

κέκριται

˓has_been˒_judged

This could mean: (1) Satan has already been condemned to future judgment. Alternate translation: [has already been condemned] (2) Satan’s future judgment is so certain that Jesus uses the past tense. Alternate translation: [will be judged]

Jesus’ Arrest, Trial, Crucifixion, and Burial

Matthew 26-27; Mark 14-15; Luke 22-23; John 13-19

On the Thursday before he was crucified, Jesus had arranged to share the Passover meal with his disciples in an upper room, traditionally thought to be located in the Essene Quarter of Jerusalem. After they finished the meal, they went to the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus often met with his disciples. There Judas Iscariot, one of Jesus’ own disciples, betrayed him to soldiers sent from the High Priest, and they took Jesus to the High Priest’s residence. In the morning the leading priests and teachers of the law put Jesus on trial and found him guilty of blasphemy. The council sent Jesus to stand trial for treason before the Roman governor Pontius Pilate, who resided at the Praetorium while in Jerusalem. The Praetorium was likely located at the former residence of Herod the Great, who had died over 30 years earlier. When Pilate learned that Jesus was from Galilee, he sent him to Herod Antipas, who had jurisdiction over Galilee. But when Jesus gave no answer to Herod’s many questions, Herod and his soldiers sent him back to Pilate, who conceded to the people’s demands that Jesus be crucified. Jesus was forced to carry his cross out of the city gate to Golgotha, meaning Skull Hill, referring to what may have been a small unquarried hill in the middle of an old quarry just outside the gate. After Jesus was unable to carry his cross any further, a man named Simon from Cyrene was forced to carry it for him. There at Golgotha they crucified Jesus. After Jesus died, his body was hurriedly taken down before nightfall and placed in a newly cut, rock tomb owned by Joseph of Arimathea, a member of the Jewish high council. This tomb was likely located at the perimeter of the old quarry.
