TSNTyndale Study Notes:

9:1-41 At the Festival of Shelters (chs 7–8), Jesus claimed to be the light of the world (8:12). Now John tells about Jesus giving light, both physically and spiritually, to a blind man who lived in darkness (see 9:5). The story ends with a splendid reversal of roles: The blind man who was assumed to be in spiritual darkness could see God’s light, whereas the Pharisees, who could see physically and were thought to be enlightened, were shown to be spiritually blind.

TTNTyndale Theme Notes:

John’s Profile of Discipleship

In the first half of his Gospel, John tells about a variety of people who model true discipleship (see John 1:19-51; 4:1-42; 9:1-41). Through them John provides a profile of the mature follower, or “disciple,” of Christ.

What is the profile of a disciple? (1) Disciples know who Jesus is. In each of these three accounts, Jesus is identified correctly (see, e.g., 1:34, 36, 38, 41; 4:19, 29, 31; 9:2, 17, 35-38). (2) Disciples believe in Jesus. They see Jesus’ mighty works, listen to his profound words, and believe (see 1:49; 4:39-42; 9:35-38; see also 20:8, 24-29). (3) Jesus’ disciples understand that they must follow him if their discipleship is to be successful (1:37-43; 8:12; 10:4-5, 27; 12:26; 21:19-22). Following implies genuine devotion, leaving what we have to embrace the journey with Jesus.

John provided this profile of true discipleship because he wanted his readers to join these courageous men and women and become disciples of Jesus as well (see 20:30-31).

UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

εἰ τυφλοὶ ἦτε, οὐκ ἂν εἴχετε ἁμαρτίαν

if blind ˱you_all˲_were not ¬wishfully ˱you_all˲_/were/_having sin

See how you translated blind in 9:39–40. Alternate translation: “If you did not know God’s truth, you would have no sin”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

οὐκ ἂν εἴχετε ἁμαρτίαν & ἡ ἁμαρτία ὑμῶν μένει

not ¬wishfully ˱you_all˲_/were/_having sin & the sin ˱of˲_you_all /is/_remaining

In these two phrases, Jesus speaks of sin as if it were an object that a person could possess or that could remain with a person. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “you would not be sinful … You are still sinful”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

λέγετε, ὅτι βλέπομεν, ἡ ἁμαρτία ὑμῶν μένει

˱you_all˲_/are/_saying ¬that ˱we˲_/are/_seeing the sin ˱of˲_you_all /is/_remaining

See how you translated see in 9:39. Alternate translation: “you say, ‘We know God’s truth.’ Your sin remains”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

λέγετε, ὅτι βλέπομεν, ἡ ἁμαρτία ὑμῶν μένει

˱you_all˲_/are/_saying ¬that ˱we˲_/are/_seeing the sin ˱of˲_you_all /is/_remaining

If the direct quotation inside a direct quotation would be confusing in your language, you could translate the second direct quotation as an indirect quotation. Alternate translation: “you say that you see, so your sin remains”
