Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations.

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.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

3:22-36 John the Baptist identifies Jesus as the one who is truly from above (3:31); this requires John’s followers to shift their allegiance to Jesus.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun

οὐ δύναται ἄνθρωπος

not /is/_able /a/_person

John is speaking of people in general, not of one particular man. Alternate translation: “A person is not able”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

ᾖ δεδομένον αὐτῷ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ

˱it˲_may_be /having_been/_given ˱to˲_him from ¬the heaven

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: “heaven has given it to him”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ᾖ δεδομένον αὐτῷ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ

˱it˲_may_be /having_been/_given ˱to˲_him from ¬the heaven

Here John the Baptist uses heaven to refer to God, who dwells in heaven. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this plainly. Alternate translation: “it has been given to him by God”
