TSNTyndale Study Notes:

8:28 The synoptic Gospels describe Jesus as predicting his death three times (e.g., Mark 8:31; 9:31; 10:33-34). John parallels this (John 3:14; 8:28; 12:33-34), showing that the Father governs his Son’s fate.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ὅταν ὑψώσητε

whenever ˱you_all˲_/may/_exalt

Here, John records Jesus referring to when he would be lifted up on the cross to be killed. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: [When you have lifted me up on a cross to kill me]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / 123person

ὅταν ὑψώσητε τὸν Υἱὸν τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου

whenever ˱you_all˲_/may/_exalt the Son ¬the ˱of˲_Man

Jesus is speaking of himself in the third person. If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this clause in the first person, as in the UST.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

τὸν Υἱὸν τοῦ Ἀνθρώπου

the Son ¬the ˱of˲_Man

See how you translated the Son of Man in 1:51.

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἐγώ εἰμι

I am_‹he›

See how you translated this phrase in verse 24 and also see the discussion of this phrase in the General Notes for this chapter.

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἀπ’ ἐμαυτοῦ

from myself

See how you translated this phrase, from myself, in 5:30. Alternate translation: [on my own authority]

Note 6 topic: guidelines-sonofgodprinciples

καθὼς ἐδίδαξέν με ὁ Πατὴρ, ταῦτα λαλῶ

as taught me the Father these_‹things› ˱I˲_/am/_speaking

Father is an important title for God.
