TSNTyndale Study Notes:

6:1-71 Each story in this chapter uses the setting of the Passover Festival (6:4) to communicate a deeper meaning.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

οὖν & οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι

therefore & the Jews

Here, the Jews refers to the Jewish leaders. See how you translated this term in 1:19.

Note 2 topic: writing-quotations

ἐμάχοντο & πρὸς ἀλλήλους οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι λέγοντες

/were/_quarrelling & with one_another the Jews saying

Consider natural ways of introducing direct quotations in your language. Alternate translation: “then the Jews began to argue among themselves, and they said”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

πῶς δύναται οὗτος ἡμῖν δοῦναι τὴν σάρκα φαγεῖν?

how /is/_able this_‹one› ˱to˲_us /to/_give the flesh (Some words not found in SR-GNT: ἐμάχοντο οὖν πρὸς ἀλλήλους οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι λέγοντες πῶς δύναται οὗτος ἡμῖν δοῦναι τὴν σάρκα αὐτοῦ φαγεῖν)

Here the Jewish leaders are using the form of a question to emphasize that they are reacting negatively to what Jesus has said about his flesh. If this might be misunderstood in your language, you could translate these words as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: “There is no way that this one is able to give us his flesh to eat!”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

τὴν σάρκα

the flesh

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