¹ tn Or “was made”; Grk “came into existence.”

² tn Grk “and,” but in context this is an adversative use of καί (kai) and is thus translated “but.”

³ tn Or “know.”

⁴ tn “But” is not in the Greek text, but has been supplied to indicate the implied contrast between the Mosaic law and grace through Jesus Christ. John 1:17 seems to indicate clearly that the Old Covenant (Sinai) was being contrasted with the New. In Jewish sources the Law was regarded as a gift from God (Josephus, Ant. 3.8.10 [3.223]; Pirqe Avot 1.1; Sifre Deut 31:4 §305). Further information can be found in T. F. Glasson, Moses in the Fourth Gospel (SBT).

⁷ sn An allusion to Lev 20:10 and Deut 22:22-24.

⁸ sn The accusers themselves subtly misrepresented the law. The Mosaic law stated that in the case of adultery, both the man and woman must be put to death (Lev 20:10, Deut 22:22), but they mentioned only such women.

¹⁰ tn Or “straightened up.”

¹¹ sn Woman was a polite form of address (see BDAG 208-9 s.v. γυνή 1), similar to “Madam” or “Ma’am” used in English in different regions.

¹³ tn Grk “reclining at the table.” The phrase reclining at the table reflects the normal practice in 1st century Near Eastern culture of eating a meal in a semi-reclining position.

¹⁴ tn Or “knew.”

¹⁵ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

¹⁶ tn Grk “to him”; the referent (Judas) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

¹⁶ tn Grk “Jesus said to him.”

¹⁷ tn Or “I am the way, even the truth and the life.”
