¹tn Grk “answered and said.”

²tn Or “speaking openly.”

³sn They are saying nothing to him. Some people who had heard Jesus were so impressed with his teaching that they began to infer from the inactivity of the opposing Jewish leaders a tacit acknowledgment of Jesus’ claims.

⁴tn Grk “this one.”

⁵tn Or “the Messiah” (Both Greek “Christ” and Hebrew and Aramaic “Messiah” mean “one who has been anointed”).

³tn Grk “And many.” Because of the difference between Greek style, which often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” and English style, which generally does not, καί (kai) has not been translated here.

⁴sn John refers to John the Baptist.

⁵tn Grk “did.”

⁶tn Grk “this one.”

⁴tn Grk “said to them.” The indirect object αὐτοῖς (autois) has not been translated for stylistic reasons.

⁵sn See the note on Pharisees in 1:24.

⁶tn Grk “I will no longer speak many things with you.”

⁷sn The ruler of this world is a reference to Satan.

⁸tn Grk “in me he has nothing.”

⁷tn The word “it” is not in the Greek text, but is implied. Direct objects were often omitted in Greek when clear from the context.
