YHN 7:26 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

οὐδὲν αὐτῷ λέγουσιν

nothing ˱to˲_him /are/_saying

The Jerusalemites use this phrase in order to imply that the Jewish leaders are not opposing Jesus. Alternate translation: [they say nothing to oppose him]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

μήποτε ἀληθῶς ἔγνωσαν οἱ ἄρχοντες, ὅτι οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ Χριστός?

perhaps truly knew the rulers that this is the Messiah

Here, the Jerusalemites ask this question in a way that expects a negative response, but also expresses uncertainty about that response. If your language has a question form that assumes a negative response with uncertainty, you should use it here. Alternate translation: [Could it be possible that the rulers really know this is the Christ?]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

οἱ ἄρχοντες

the rulers

This phrase refers to the Jewish religious leadership, specifically the Jewish council called the Sanhedrin, which made decisions about Jewish law. (See: council) If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [The members of the Jewish ruling council]
