UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / exmetaphor

ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ ἄρτος ὁ ζῶν ὁ ἐκ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καταβάς; ἐάν τις φάγῃ ἐκ τούτου τοῦ ἄρτου, ζήσεται εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα

I am the bread ¬which living ¬which out_of ¬the heaven /having/_come_down if anyone /may/_eat of this ¬the bread ˱he˲_/will_be/_living to the age

As in the previous verse, Jesus continues using the bread metaphor to say that one must believe in him in order to have eternal life just as one eats bread to sustain physical life. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this as a simile. Alternate translation: “I am the living bread that comes down from heaven. Just as one lives if they eat bread, so does one who believes in me live forever”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐγώ εἰμι

I am

Jesus uses this phrase emphatically to make a strong statement about who he is. Use the most natural way to express emphasis in your language. Alternate translation: “I myself am” or “I am indeed”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὁ ἄρτος ὁ ζῶν

the bread ¬which living

Here, living refers to being the source of life or having the ability to produce life, which is synonymous with “of life” in the phrase “the bread of life,” which Jesus used in 6:35. See how you translated “the bread of life” in 6:35. Alternate translation: “the bread that gives life”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἐάν τις φάγῃ ἐκ τούτου τοῦ ἄρτου, ζήσεται εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα

if anyone /may/_eat of this ¬the bread ˱he˲_/will_be/_living to the age

Here and in the previous verse, Jesus uses eats to refer to believing in Jesus for salvation. Jesus gives eternal life to those who believe in him. See how you translated “eat” in the previous verse. Alternate translation: “Just as food keeps you physically alive, I can give you spiritual life”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

σάρξ μού

flesh ˱of˲_me

Here, John records Jesus using flesh to refer to his whole physical body. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “my body”

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / extrainfo

(Occurrence 2) ὁ ἄρτος

¬which ¬which the bread

Here Jesus is using the bread metaphor slightly differently from how he has used it previously. Here it refers specifically to his physical body, which he would sacrifice on the cross to pay for the sins of those who believe in him. Since Jesus says this explicitly at the end of the verse, you do not need to explain its meaning further.

Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὑπὲρ τῆς τοῦ κόσμου ζωῆς

for the ˱of˲_the world life

Here, life refers to eternal life. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: “for the eternal life of the world”

Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

ὑπὲρ τῆς τοῦ κόσμου ζωῆς

for the ˱of˲_the world life

Here, the world is used to refer to the people in the world. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “for the life of the people in the world”
