John 4:33

4:33 So the disciples began to say ¹  to one another, “No one brought him anything ²  to eat, did they?” ³ 

John 4:37

4:37 For in this instance the saying is true, ⁴  ‘One sows and another reaps.’

John 19:18

19:18 There they ⁵  crucified ⁶  him along with two others, ⁷  one on each side, with Jesus in the middle.

¹ tn An ingressive imperfect conveys the idea that Jesus’ reply provoked the disciples’ response.

² tn The direct object of ἤνεγκεν (hnenken) in Greek is understood; “anything” is supplied in English.

³ tn Questions prefaced with μή (mh) in Greek anticipate a negative answer. This can sometimes be indicated by using a “tag” at the end in English (here it is “did they?”).

⁴ tn The recitative ὅτι (Joti) after ἀληθινός (alhqino") has not been translated.

⁷ tn Grk “where they.” This is a continuation of the previous verse in Greek, but contemporary English style tends toward shorter sentences. A literal translation would result in a lengthy and awkward English sentence.

⁸ sn See the note on Crucify in 19:6.

⁹ tn Grk “and with him two others.”
