YHN 5:42 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 5:30–47: Jesus told about others who told the truth about himself

Jesus told the Pharisees about those who testified about him. Those witnesses were John the Baptist, the works that the Father gave him to do, and the Father himself. The Father spoke about him in the Old Testament.

Here are some other possible section headings:

Jesus told about what testified about the truth about him

There were those who confirmed the truth about Jesus

Witnesses for Jesus

Paragraph 5:39–44

Jesus condemned the religious leaders’ failure to believe in him. He said they were more interested in receiving praise from one another than they were in receiving God’s praise.

5:42a

but I know you,

But I am aware/sure of this,
But I know what you^(plur) are like.

but: The conjunction that the BSB translates as but introduces an implied contrast. The contrast is between Jesus not wanting human praise and the Jewish leaders wanting praise (see 5:44b). It is also an implied contrast between Jesus’ love for his Father (see 14:31) and the Jews’ lack of love. Introduce this contrast in a way that is natural in your language.

I know you: The Greek expression that the BSB translates literally as I know you indicates that Jesus was saying that he understood the religious leaders. He knew that, unlike him, they did want people’s praise. Jesus knew the kind of people they were and wanted them to change. He was warning them. See the General Comment following 5:42b. For example:

But I know what kind of people you are. (GW)

But I know that with you it is different (REB)

5:42b

that you do not have the love of God within you.

you^(plur) do not have any love for God.
You^(plur) do not love God.

you do not have the love of God: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as the love of God here means “love for God.” Jesus was saying that the religious leaders did not love God. In some languages it is more natural to translate the noun love with a verb. For example:

none of you love God (CEV)

within you: The pronoun you is plural here. In some languages, love is thought to be found in a certain body part, such as the heart or mind. In those languages, it may be more natural to refer to that part of the body. For example:

in your hearts (NIV)

in your thoughts

General Comment on 5:42a–b

In the BSB verse 42 is translated as part of one sentence that began in the previous verse. Here are other ways to use part of one sentence:

because I know that you do not have God’s love in your thoughts/heart

but I do know that none of you love God. (CEV)

In other languages it may be natural to use two sentences when you translate this verse. For example:

But I know what kind of people you are. You don’t have any love for God. (GW)

but I know you. I know that you do not have the love of God in your hearts. (NIV)
