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.

8:41 your real father: Jesus knew who controlled them.
• We aren’t illegitimate children! This was both a defense and an attack. In Greek, the pronoun we is emphatic: “We [in contrast to you] are not illegitimate,” implying that Jesus was illegitimate (see Matt 1:18-25).
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / extrainfo
ὑμεῖς ποιεῖτε τὰ ἔργα τοῦ πατρὸς ὑμῶν
you_all /are/_doing the works ˱of˲_the father ˱of˲_you_all
Jesus uses the phrase your father to refer to the devil. However, since the Jews did not understand what Jesus meant when he used this phrase, you do not need to explain its meaning further here.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἡμεῖς ἐκ πορνείας οὐ γεγεννήμεθα
we of sexual_immorality not /have_been/_born
Here, the Jews imply that Jesus does not know who his real father is and that his birth is the result of an immoral sexual relationship. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: [We do not know about you, but we are not illegitimate children] or [We were all born from proper marriages]
