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.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
μαρτυρεῖ περὶ ἐμοῦ ὁ πέμψας με Πατήρ
/is/_testifying about me the /having/_sent me Father
In addition to Jesus himself, God the Father also testifies about Jesus. Jesus thus implies that his testimony is true, because there are two witnesses. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “my Father, who sent me, also brings evidence about me. So you should believe that what we tell you is true” or “my Father, who sent me, also testifies about me. Therefore, my testimony is true”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ὁ πέμψας με Πατήρ

Here, this phrase refers to God. See how you translated this phrase in verse 16.
