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.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

5:1-40 This chapter reads like a courtroom drama, with a description of the crime (5:1-15), followed by a decision to prosecute (5:16), a description of the charges (5:18), and Jesus’ defense (5:17, 19-40).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / rpronouns

ὁ πέμψας με Πατὴρ, ἐκεῖνος μεμαρτύρηκεν

the /having/_sent me Father that_‹one› /has/_testified

The reflexive pronoun himself emphasizes that it is the Father, not someone less important, who has testified about who Jesus is. Use a way that is natural in your language to indicate this emphasis. Alternate translation: “none other than the Father himself who sent me has testified”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὁ πέμψας με Πατὴρ

the /having/_sent me Father

Here this phrase refers to God. See how you translated this phrase in 5:23.
