NET Notes: Joh 5:7

¹ tn Or “Lord.” The Greek κύριος (kurios) means both “Sir” and “Lord.” In this passage the paralytic who was healed by Jesus never acknowledges Jesus as Lord – he rather reports Jesus to the authorities.

² tn Grk “while I am going.”

³ tn Grk “another.”

⁴ tn The word “there” is not in the Greek text but is implied.
