UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche

οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι

the Jews

See how you translated the Jews in [8:31](../08/31.md). Alternate translation: [the Judeans] or [the Jewish leaders]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / rquestion

πεντήκοντα ἔτη οὔπω ἔχεις, καὶ Ἀβραὰμ ἑώρακας?

fifty years not_yet ˱you˲_˓are˒_having and Abraham ˱you˲_˓have˒_seen

Here, the Jews opposing Jesus are using this question to express their shock that Jesus claims to have seen Abraham. If you would not use a rhetorical question for this purpose in your language, you could translate these words as a statement or an exclamation and communicate the emphasis in another way. Alternate translation: [You are less than fifty years old! You could not possibly have seen Abraham!]
