Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed for doing comparisons of different translations.

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 / metaphor
ὁ πατὴρ ὑμῶν
the father ˱of˲_you_all
See how you translated this phrase in verse 39.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
ἴδῃ & εἶδεν
˱he˲_/may/_see & ˱he˲_saw_‹it›
Here Jesus uses see to refer to experiencing or participating in something. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “he might experience … he experienced it”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
τὴν ἡμέραν τὴν ἐμήν
¬the day ¬the my
Here Jesus uses my day to refer to the time when Jesus came to earth. If this would be confusing in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “my coming” or “the time when I would come to earth”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
εἶδεν καὶ ἐχάρη
˱he˲_saw_‹it› and /was/_elated
This phrase could mean: (1) Abraham literally saw a prophetic vision of Jesus coming to earth. Alternate translation: “he foresaw my coming through revelation from God and was glad” (2) when his son Isaac was born, Abraham metaphorically saw that God was beginning to fulfill the covenant that would culminate in Jesus coming to earth. Alternate translation: “he perceived my coming when God gave him a son, and he was glad”
