# he does not keep the Sabbath

# How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?
This remark appears in the form of a question to emphasize that Jesus' signs prove he is not a sinner. AT: "A sinner can not do such signs!" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])

# He is a prophet
"I think he is a prophet"
# Now the Jews still did not believe

Here "Jews" is a synecdoche for the "Jewish leaders" who opposed Jesus. AT: Now the Jewish leaders still did not believe. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche]])
