1 tn Or “he was obligated.”
2 tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 2:11.
3 tn Or “propitiation.”
4 tn Or “resurrect them all,” or “make them all live again”; Grk “raise it up.” The word “all” is supplied to bring out the collective nature of the neuter singular pronoun αὐτό (auto) in Greek. The plural pronoun “them” is used rather than neuter singular “it” because this is clearer in English, which does not use neuter collective singulars in the same way Greek does.
5 tn Or “resurrect him,” or “make him live again.”
6 sn Notice that here the result (having eternal life and being raised up at the last day) is produced by looking on the Son and believing in him. Compare John 6:54 where the same result is produced by eating Jesus’ flesh and drinking his blood. This suggests that the phrase in 6:54 (eats my flesh and drinks my blood) is to be understood in terms of the phrase here (looks on the Son and believes in him).
7 tn Grk “who speaks from himself.”
8 tn Or “seeks.”
9 tn Or “praise”; Grk “glory.”
10 tn Or “seeks.”
11 tn Or “praise”; Grk “glory.”
12 tn Or “is truthful”; Grk “is true.”
13 tn That is, “he has not abandoned me.”
14 tn Or “keep.”
15 tn Or “reside.”
16 tn Or “kept.”

18 tn Or “by finishing” or “by accomplishing.” Jesus now states that he has glorified the Father on earth by finishing (τελειώσας [teleiwsas] is best understood as an adverbial participle of means) the work which the Father had given him to do.
19 tn Grk “the work that you gave to me so that I may do it.”
