John 7:42

7:42 Don’t the scriptures say that the Christ is a descendant of David and comes from Bethlehem, the village where David lived?”

John 10:13

10:13 Because he is a hired hand and is not concerned about the sheep, he runs away.


tn Grk “is from the seed” (an idiom for human descent).

sn An allusion to Ps 89:4.

sn An allusion to Mic 5:2.

tn Grk “the village where David was.”

tn Grk “does not have a care for the sheep.”

tc The phrase “he runs away” is lacking in several important mss (Ì44vid,45,66,75 א A*vid B D L [W] Θ 1 33 1241 al co). Most likely it was added by a later scribe to improve the readability of vv. 12-13, which is one long sentence in Greek. It has been included in the translation for the same stylistic reasons.
