YHN 16:3 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—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 15:18–16:4b The world would hate the disciples

Jesus warned the disciples that the world would hate them because they did not belong to the world. They now belonged to Jesus and because the world hated Jesus it would also hate them. And because the world hated Jesus, it also hated the Father. When the Holy Spirit came, he would tell about Jesus, and the disciples should tell what they know about him too. Jesus told them these things so that their faith would stay strong.

Here are some other possible section headings:

The world’s hate

The world’s hate for Jesus and his disciples

Paragraph 16:1–4b

Jesus continued to speak to his disciples to prepare them for his leaving them. In this paragraph he again warned them that unbelievers would persecute them.

16:3

They will do these things because they have not known the Father or Me.

They will treat you^(plur) like this because they do not truly know God the Father or me.
They do not really know God the Father. They do not really know me either. That is why they will persecute you^(plur).

They will do these things because they have not known the Father or Me: This sentence explains the reason why unbelievers would kill Jesus’ disciples. The reason was that they did not truly know God or Jesus himself. Here are other ways to translate this sentence:

People will do these things to you because they have not known either the Father or me. (GNT)

They will act like this because they have never had the true knowledge of the Father or of me. (JBP)

They will do this because they have not known the Father and they have not known me. (NCV)

They…they: This word refers to anyone who would persecute or kill the Christians.

will do these things: The phrase these things refers to persecuting Jesus’ disciples and specifically killing them. It refers back to 16:2b. Try to use a phrase that implies doing harm or evil. For example:

will do such things (NIV)

will do these things to you (GNT, GW)

will act in this evil way

because: The Greek conjunction that the BSB translates as because here introduces the reason why people will persecute Jesus’ disciples.

they have not known the Father or Me: This clause indicates that these people did not really or truly know God or Jesus. They knew who God was and they knew who Jesus was. However, they did not have a personal or close relationship with either God or Jesus. See the notes on 14:7a–b and 15:21b. Here is another way of translating this clause:

they have never truly known the Father or me

In some languages it may be natural to repeat the verb. For example:

they have not known the Father and they have not known me (NCV)

have not known: The Greek verb that the BSB translates as have not known here indicates a constant truth. These people had never come to know God or Jesus, and they did not at that present time either. Some think that the sense of the verb is “failed to recognize” or “did not learn that” (Jesus was God’s Son). Here are other ways to translate this Greek verb:

they don’t know (CEV)

they have never known (NLT)

the Father: This phrase refers to God the Father. In some languages it is more natural to say use a personal pronoun:

my Father

Me: This word refers to Jesus. These people knew his name and his earthly home but they did not recognize that he was from God.

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.
