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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / pastforfuture

λέγει

/is/_saying

Here John uses the present tense in past narration in order to call attention to a development in the story.

Note 2 topic: writing-pronouns

ἐὰν αὐτὸν θέλω μένειν

if him ˱I˲_/may_be/_wanting /to_be/_remaining

Here, him refers to John, the “disciple whom Jesus loved” in John 21:20.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἔρχομαι

˱I˲_/am/_coming

Jesus uses come here to refer to the time in the future when he will return to earth from heaven. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: [I come back to this world]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

τί πρὸς σέ?

what_‹is_it› to you

Jesus is using a rhetorical question here to mildly rebuke Peter. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate his words as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [that has nothing to do with you!]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

μοι ἀκολούθει

˱after˲_me /be/_following

See how you translated this sentence in 1:43.
