Non potest a se facere, nisi quod videt Patrem facere, et demonstrat ei Pater, quæ omnia non secundum litteram ut in hominibus fieret accipienda sunt, sed mystice.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

διὰ τοῦτο οὖν

because_of this therefore

Here, this refers to what Jesus had said in the previous verse. One of the reasons why the Jewish leaders wanted to kill Jesus was that Jesus called God his Father. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this explicitly. Alternate translation: “Because Jesus said this, therefore”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι

the Jews

Here, the Jews refers to the Jewish leaders. See how you translated this term in 5:10.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

ὅτι οὐ μόνον ἔλυε τὸ Σάββατον

because not only ˱he˲_/was/_breaking the Sabbath

The phrase breaking the Sabbath is an idiom that means to disobey the regulations for the Sabbath that God gave in the law of Moses. The Pharisees themselves added many regulations which they considered to be equal to those God had given. It was the additional Jewish regulations that Jesus was disobeying, thereby making the Jewish leaders very angry with him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “because he not only was disobeying their Sabbath regulations”

Note 4 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples

Πατέρα

Father

Father is an important title for God.

Note 5 topic: grammar-connect-logic-result

ἴσον ἑαυτὸν ποιῶν τῷ Θεῷ

equal himself making ¬the ˱to˲_God

This clause, making himself equal to God, is the result of what Jesus had said in the previous clause. The result of Jesus calling God Father is that he was claiming to be equal with God. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: “the result being that he was making himself equal to God”
