YHN 6:57 Parallel Verse View

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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὁ ζῶν Πατὴρ

the living Father

Here, living refers to being the source of life or having the ability to create life. This is also how Jesus used living in verse 51. See how you translated living in verse 51. Alternate translation: “the Father who causes life”

Note 2 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples

Πατὴρ & Πατέρα

Father & Father

Father is an important title for God.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

κἀγὼ ζῶ διὰ τὸν Πατέρα

and_I /am/_living because_of the Father

Here, live refers to being the source of life or having the ability to create life. It does not mean to merely be alive. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: “and I cause life because of the Father”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

κἀγὼ ζῶ διὰ τὸν Πατέρα

and_I /am/_living because_of the Father

Here, because of the Father indicates the reason why Jesus has the ability to cause life. God the Father gave Jesus the ability to cause others to live. Jesus explained this concept in 5:25–26. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: “and I cause life because the Father has enabled me to do so”

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / extrainfo

καὶ ὁ τρώγων με

also the_‹one› eating me

Jesus is using eating me to refer to trusting him. However, the Jews did not understand this. Therefore, you do not need to explain its meaning further here. See how you translated similar expressions in verses 53–56.

Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

κἀκεῖνος ζήσει δι’ ἐμέ

and_that_‹one› /will_be/_living because_of me

Here, live refers to having eternal life. It does not refer to being the source of life, as living and live are used previously in this verse. If this shift in meaning might confuse your readers, you could state the difference explicitly. Alternate translation: “he will also have eternal life because of me”
