[1:15]  ¹ sn John refers to John the Baptist.

[1:15]  ² tn Or “bore witness.”

[1:15]  ³ tn Grk “and shouted out saying.” The participle λέγων (legwn) is redundant is English and has not been translated.

[7:12]  ⁵ tn Grk “And there was.”

[7:12]  ⁶ tn Or “complaining.”

[7:12]  ⁷ tn Or “among the common people” (as opposed to the religious authorities mentioned in the previous verse).

[7:12]  ⁸ tn Or “the crowd.”

[8:26]  ⁹ tn Or “I have many things to pronounce in judgment about you.” The two Greek infinitives could be understood as a hendiadys, resulting in one phrase.

[8:26]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “the one”; the referent (the Father) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:26]  ¹¹ tn Grk “true” (in the sense of one who always tells the truth).

[8:26]  ¹² tn Grk “and what things I have heard from him, these things I speak to the world.”

[13:18]  ²³ tn Or “has become my enemy”; Grk “has lifted up his heel against me.” The phrase “to lift up one’s heel against someone” reads literally in the Hebrew of Ps 41 “has made his heel great against me.” There have been numerous interpretations of this phrase, but most likely it is an idiom meaning “has given me a great fall,” “has taken cruel advantage of me,” or “has walked out on me.” Whatever the exact meaning of the idiom, it clearly speaks of betrayal by a close associate. See E. F. F. Bishop, “‘He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me’ – Jn xiii.18 (Ps xli.9),” ExpTim 70 (1958-59): 331-33.
