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 6:22–59: Jesus is the bread that gives life

In this section Jesus spoke in figurative language about how he himself is the source of eternal life. He called himself “the bread of life” and said that people must “eat” his flesh and “drink” his blood. These words caused a lot of argument.

Paragraph 6:35–40

Jesus told the people that he himself was the bread that gives life.

6:36a–b

In this verse Jesus reminded the people of something he had said to them earlier. Perhaps Jesus was referring to what he had said in verse 26. Or perhaps he was referring to what he had said in 5:37–38. Or he might have referred to something that he had said that is not in the gospel of John. He repeated it here because what he had said earlier was still true.

Here are other ways to translate this verse:

Yet I have told you that you have seen me and do not believe. (JBP)

I have told you already that you have seen me and still do not have faith in me. (CEV)

6:36a

But as I stated, you have seen Me

But, as I explained to you^(plur), you have seen me
However, it is as I told you. You have seen what I have done.

But: The Greek conjunction that the BSB translates as But here introduces a contrast. The contrast is between those who believe in Jesus (6:35c) and his listeners, who do not believe.

6:36b

and still you do not believe.

and yet you^(plur) still do not accept me.
However, even though you have seen that, you do not believe that I am the Christ/Messiah.

still: The BRB has supplied the word still. Although the people had seen Jesus and his miracles (see 6:26b), they still did not believe/trust in him. The word still helps to show that one would expect them to believe after they saw Jesus.

do not believe: Although the words “in me” are not present here as in 6:35c, they are implied. See the note there on “believes in me.” Here Jesus said that the people who were talking with him did not believe in that way. It is also implied that Jesus spoke about believing in himself. In some languages it may be more natural to make whom they did not believe in explicit.

Here are other ways to translate this phrase:

do not have faith in me (CEV)

do not trust in me

don’t believe in me (GW)

General Comment on 6:36a–b

In some languages it may be natural to use direct speech for quoting what Jesus had previously said. For example:

But as I told you, ‘You have seen me and yet do not believe.’

But you know what I said, ‘Although you have seen me, you still do not believe.’

General Comment on 6:36a–b

In some languages it may be natural to reverse the order of 6:36a and 6:36b. For example:

^36bBut you haven’t believed in me ^36aeven though you have seen me. (NLT)
