UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / extrainfo

τὴν βρῶσιν τὴν μένουσαν εἰς ζωὴν αἰώνιον

˱for˲_the food ¬which the food ¬which remaining to life eternal

Here Jesus is using the word food to refer to himself, because he is the source of salvation, the One who gives eternal life to all who trust him. Jesus lasts forever, and so does the eternal life that he gives. However, the crowd does not understand this, and Jesus does not tell them this plainly at this time. Therefore, you do not need to explain its meaning further here.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

τὴν βρῶσιν τὴν μένουσαν εἰς ζωὴν αἰώνιον

˱for˲_the food ¬which the food ¬which remaining to life eternal

John records Jesus leaving out a word that a clause would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply this word from the previous clause. Alternate translation: [work for the food that endures to eternal life]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου & δώσει; τοῦτον

the Son ¬the ˱of˲_Man & /will_be/_giving this_‹one›

These two expressions are all refer to Jesus. He is referring to himself in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this in the first person. Alternate translation: [I, the Son of Man, will give … me]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / distinguish

ἣν ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου ὑμῖν δώσει

which the Son ¬the ˱of˲_Man ˱to˲_you_all /will_be/_giving

This phrase could give further information about: (1) “the food that endures to eternal life.” Alternate translation: [that is, the food the Son of Man will give you] (2) “eternal life.” Alternate translation: [that is, the life the Son of Man will give you]

Note 5 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples

Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου & ὁ Πατὴρ & ὁ Θεός

Son ¬the ˱of˲_Man & the Father & ¬the God

Son of Man and God the Father are important titles that describe the relationship between Jesus and God.

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὁ Υἱὸς τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου

the Son ¬the ˱of˲_Man

See how you translated the Son of Man in 1:51.

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

τοῦτον & ἐσφράγισεν

this_‹one› & sealed

To “set a seal” on something means to place a mark on it in order to show to whom it belongs or to certify its authenticity. Here, the phrase is used as an idiom and could mean: (1) that the Father approves of the Son in every way. Alternate translation: [has affirmed his approval of him] (2) that the Son belongs to the Father. Alternate translation: [has affirmed that the Son belongs to him]
