TSNTyndale Study Notes:

7:1-52 This chapter is another account of Jesus during a Jewish festival, the Festival of Shelters. Jesus used elements of the festival to reveal his true identity to his Jewish compatriots and to show that he had fulfilled the festival’s essential meaning (see 7:37-39; 8:12).


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: grammar-collectivenouns

ἐκ τοῦ ὄχλου

of the crowd

See how you translated crowd in 5:13.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

ὁ Χριστὸς, ὅταν ἔλθῃ, μὴ πλείονα σημεῖα ποιήσει ὧν οὗτος ἐποίησεν?

the Messiah whenever /may/_come not more signs_‹than› /will_be/_doing which this_‹man› did

The crowd uses the form of a question to add emphasis. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this type of question by translating these words as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [When the Christ may come, surely he will not do more signs than this one has done!]

σημεῖα

signs_‹than›

See how you translated signs in 2:11. See also the discussion of signs in Part 3 of the General Introduction to the Gospel of John. Alternate translation: [significant miracles]
