YHN 2:22 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 2:13–25: Jesus sent the sellers away from the temple

In this section Jesus drove out (threw out) people who were selling animals and exchanging money in the temple courtyard. He was angry that they were using the temple to make money for themselves. The Jewish religious leaders were very upset at this. They did not think that Jesus had the authority to drive out these traders and money changers.

It is good to translate this section before you decide on a heading for it. Here are some other possible titles for this section:

Jesus drove/threw out traders/sellers from the temple

Jesus cleansed the temple

Jesus stopped people from selling animals in the temple

There are similar passages to this section in Matthew 21:12–13, Mark 11:15–17, and Luke 19:45–46.

Paragraph 2:18–22

The Jewish religious leaders were upset that Jesus had sent the money changers away from the temple. They demanded that he show them a miracle to prove that he had authority from God to do this. Jesus told them that if they destroyed this temple, he would raise it in three days. The Jews did not understand that he was talking about his body.

2:22a

After He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this.

When God raised Jesus from the dead, his disciples remembered what he had said.
Later, after Jesus died and returned to life, his followers remembered his words,

After He was raised from the dead: This refers to an event that at this point in the gospel was still in the future. However, the event was in the past when John wrote. It is implied that Jesus would first die. Then he would live again, for God would raise/lift him from among the dead. Jesus did not remain lying in a tomb.

He was raised from the dead: The verb was raised is passive. The implied actor is God, who raised Jesus to life. There are several ways to translate it:

Use an active verb. For example:
After God raised Jesus from the dead
Use an intransitive verb (a verb with no object). For example:
After he came back to life (GW)
Use a passive verb. For example:
when he was raised from death (GNT)
Use a noun. For example:
After his resurrection (REB)

Translate this clause in the form that is most natural in your language.

His disciples remembered that He had said this: The word this refers to what Jesus said in 2:19: “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” Here are other ways to translate this clause:

his disciples remembered what he had told them (CEV)

his disciples remembered that he had said this (GW)

his disciples were reminded of what he had said

2:22b

Then they believed the Scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken.

Then they believed what was written in the Scriptures and what Jesus said.
and they believed both God’s word and what Jesus had said.

they believed the Scripture: The Greek phrase that the BRB translates as the Scripture is more literally “the writing (something that is written).” In the New Testament this phrase refers to anything written in the Hebrew Scriptures, the Old Testament. These writings had authority because God guided people to write them.

the Scripture spoken of here is probably the OT Scriptures in general, though it could be referring to Psalm 69:9. Here are some other ways to translate the Scripture:

the message of God that someone wrote

the writings which are the word of God

God’s Holy book

the word that Jesus had spoken: This clause refers again to what Jesus said in 2:19. Now they understood what he meant and trusted it. Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

So they believed the Scripture and this statement that Jesus had made. (GW)

Then they believed both God’s Word and what Jesus had said.
