TSNTyndale Study Notes:

1:19–12:50 Jesus reveals himself to the world through his miraculous signs and sermons. Audiences were divided: Some wanted to believe in him; others opposed him. This division intensifies as the book unfolds. Jesus ended his public ministry with a final appeal for people to believe in him (12:44-50).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τοῦ Ἰωάννου

¬the ˱of˲_John

Here, John refers to Jesus’ cousin, often referred to as “John the Baptist.” (See: johnthebaptist) It does not refer to the apostle John, who wrote this Gospel. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: “of John the Baptist” or “of John the Immerser”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

ἀπέστειλαν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι

sent_out the Jews

Here, the Jews refers to the “Jewish leaders.” If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “the Jewish leaders sent”
