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.

UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

οὐ ζητῶ τὴν δόξαν μου

not /am/_seeking the glory ˱of˲_me

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of glory, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “I do not seek to glorify myself”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

ἔστιν ὁ ζητῶν καὶ κρίνων

˱he˲_is the_‹one› seeking and judging

Here, one refers to God. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: “God is the one seeking and judging”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ὁ ζητῶν

the_‹one› seeking

Here, Jesus is leaving out some of the words that a clause would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the context. Alternate translation: “one seeking my glory”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

κρίνων

judging

Jesus is leaving out some of the words that a clause would need in many languages to be complete. Here, judging could refer to: (1) God judging between what Jesus said about himself and what his Jewish opponents were saying about him. Alternate translation: “judging between your testimony and mine” (2) God condemning those who dishonor Jesus. Alternate translation: “judging those who dishonor me”
