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.

Note 1 topic: writing-newevent
εἶπεν οὖν πάλιν αὐτοῖς
˱he˲_said therefore again ˱to˲_them
Then again here introduces a new event that happened some time after the events the story has just related. The story does not say how long after those events this new event happened. Use the natural form in your language for introducing a new event. Alternate translation: [At another time he again said to them]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / extrainfo
ἐγὼ ὑπάγω & ὅπου ἐγὼ ὑπάγω
I /am/_going_away & where I /am/_going
Two times in this verse Jesus uses go away to refer to his death and return to God in heaven. However, the Jews did not understand this. Therefore, you do not need to explain its meaning further here.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / genericnoun
ἐν τῇ ἁμαρτίᾳ ὑμῶν
in the sin ˱of˲_you_all
Here, sin is singular. This could refer to one: (1) the specific sin of rejecting Jesus as the Messiah. Alternate translation: [in your sin of unbelief] (2) sinfulness in general. Alternate translation: [in your state of sinfulness]
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / infostructure
ὅπου ἐγὼ ὑπάγω, ὑμεῖς οὐ δύνασθε ἐλθεῖν
where I /am/_going you_all not /are/_being_able /to/_come
If it would be more natural in your language, you could reverse the order of these phrases. Alternate translation: [You are not able to come to where I go]
