NET Notes: Joh 16:18

¹ tn Grk “they kept on saying.”

² tn Grk “What is this that he says.”

³ tn Grk “A little while.” Although the phrase τὸ μικρόν (to mikron) in John 16:18 could be translated simply “a little while,” it was translated “in a little while” to maintain the connection to John 16:16, where it has the latter meaning in context.

⁴ tn Or “we do not know.”

⁵ tn Grk “what he is speaking.”
