UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-background

καὶ διὰ τοῦτο, ἐδίωκον οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι τὸν Ἰησοῦν, ὅτι ταῦτα ἐποίει ἐν Σαββάτῳ.

and because_of this /were/_persecuting the Jews ¬the Jesus because these_‹things› ˱he˲_/was/_doing on /a/_Sabbath

The writer uses the phrase And because of this to show that previous verse gave background information for what John will now present. Use the natural form in your language for expressing background information. Alternate translation: “Now the Jews began to persecute Jesus because he was doing these things on the Sabbath.”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

διὰ τοῦτο

because_of this

Here, this refers to what the man whom Jesus had healed told the Jewish leaders. The Jewish leaders began to persecute Jesus because he had healed the man on the Sabbath, which was something they believed was against the law of Moses. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “because Jesus had healed him on the Sabbath”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι

the Jews

Here, the Jews refers to the Jewish leaders. See how you translated this term in the previous verse.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὅτι ταῦτα ἐποίει

because these_‹things› ˱he˲_/was/_doing

This phrase indicates a second reason why the Jewish leaders began persecuting Jesus. Here, these things refers to Jesus healing people on the Sabbath. The plural things indicates that he healed on the Sabbath multiple times, not just on the occasion recorded in verses 5–9. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: “because he was doing these healings”

ἐν Σαββάτῳ

on /a/_Sabbath

Your language might use an indefinite article rather than the definite article here, since the synagogue ruler is not speaking of a specific Sabbath. Alternate translation: “on a Sabbath day”
