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.

1:19-51 John’s Gospel gives limited attention to John the Baptist compared to the synoptic Gospels (Matt 3:1-6; Mark 1:2-6; Luke 1:1-24, 57-80; 3:1-13). Yet the apostle John wants us to see that John the Baptist correctly identified and exalted Jesus. John the Baptist’s disciples leave him and follow Jesus; Jesus took over the ministry John began, increasing as John decreased (John 3:30).
Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns
οὗτος
this_‹one›
This one here refers to Andrew, who was mentioned in the previous verse. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [Andrew]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / pastforfuture
εὑρίσκει & λέγει
/is/_finding & /is/_saying
Here John uses the present tense in past narration in order to call attention to a development in the story.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
ὅ ἐστιν μεθερμηνευόμενον, Χριστός
which is /being/_translated /the/_Anointed|Christ
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. Alternate translation: [which means Christ]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ὅ ἐστιν μεθερμηνευόμενον, Χριστός
which is /being/_translated /the/_Anointed|Christ
John assumes that his readers will know that he is saying what the title “Messiah” means when translated from the Aramaic language into Greek. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: [which is ‘Christ’ in Greek] or [which is the Aramaic word for ‘Christ’]
