Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations.

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.

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: writing-background

τοῦτο δὲ ἔλεγεν πειράζων αὐτόν; αὐτὸς γὰρ ᾔδει τί ἔμελλεν ποιεῖν

this and ˱he˲_/was/_saying testing him he for /had/_known what ˱he˲_/was/_going /to_be/_doing

In this verse John briefly stops telling about the events in the story in order to explain why Jesus asked Philip where to buy bread. Use the natural form in your language for expressing background information. Alternate translation: “Now he said this at that time to test him, for he himself knew what he was going to do”

Note 2 topic: grammar-connect-logic-goal

πειράζων αὐτόν

testing him

Here John is stating the purpose for which Jesus asked Philip the question in the previous verse. In your translation, follow the conventions of your language for purpose clauses. Alternate translation (without a comma preceding): “so that he could test Philip”

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

αὐτόν

him

Here, him refers to Philip. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “Philip”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / rpronouns

αὐτὸς & ᾔδει

he & /had/_known

Here, John uses the reflexive pronoun himself to make clear that the word he refers to Jesus. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: “Jesus himself knew”
