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.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / exmetaphor

this is the bread ¬which out_of ¬the heaven coming_down in_order_that anyone of it /may/_eat and not /may/_die_off
Jesus continues using the bread metaphor to express that one must believe in him in order to have eternal life just as one must eat bread to sustain physical life. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this as a simile. Alternate translation: “I am this bread that comes down from heaven, just as one must eat bread to live, so must one believe in me in order to not die spiritually”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person
οὗτός ἐστιν & αὐτοῦ
this is & it
John records Jesus referring to himself in the third person. If this is confusing in your language, you can use the first person. Alternate translation: “I am … me”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ὁ ἄρτος
the bread
See how you translated this term in verse 48.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἐξ αὐτοῦ φάγῃ
of it /may/_eat
Here Jesus uses eat to refer to believing in him for salvation. What Jesus said plainly in verse 47 he says here. If this would confuse your readers, you could express this with a simile. Alternate translation: “might believe in me as one eats bread to live”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
μὴ ἀποθάνῃ
not /may/_die_off
Here Jesus uses die to refer to spiritual death, which is eternal punishment in hell that occurs after physical death. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “might not die spiritually” or “might not experience spiritual death”
