John 1:22

1:22 Then they said to him, “Who are you? Tell us ¹  so that we can give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”

John 2:5

2:5 His mother told the servants, “Whatever he tells you, do it.” ² 

John 12:22

12:22 Philip went and told Andrew, and they both ³  went and told Jesus.

John 16:18

16:18 So they kept on repeating, ⁴  “What is the meaning of what he says, ⁵  ‘In a little while’? ⁶  We do not understand ⁷  what he is talking about.” ⁸ 

John 16:29

16:29 His disciples said, “Look, now you are speaking plainly ⁹  and not in obscure figures of speech! ¹⁰ 

John 19:17

19:17 and carrying his own cross ¹¹  he went out to the place called “The Place of the Skull” ¹²  (called in Aramaic ¹³  Golgotha). ¹⁴ 

[1:22]  ¹ tn The words “Tell us” are not in the Greek but are implied.

[2:5]  ² tn The pronoun “it” is not in the Greek text, but has been supplied. Direct objects in Greek were often omitted when clear from the context.

[12:22]  ³ tn Grk “Andrew and Philip”; because a repetition of the proper names would be redundant in contemporary English style, the phrase “they both” has been substituted in the translation.

[16:18]  ⁴ tn Grk “they kept on saying.”

[16:18]  ⁵ tn Grk “What is this that he says.”

[16:18]  ⁶ tn Grk “A little while.” Although the phrase τὸ μικρόν (to mikron) in John 16:18 could be translated simply “a little while,” it was translated “in a little while” to maintain the connection to John 16:16, where it has the latter meaning in context.

[16:18]  ⁷ tn Or “we do not know.”

[16:18]  ⁸ tn Grk “what he is speaking.”

[16:29]  ⁵ tn Or “openly.”

[16:29]  ⁶ tn Or “not in parables.” or “not in metaphors.”

[19:17]  ⁶ tn Or “carrying the cross by himself.”

[19:17]  ⁷ sn Jesus was led out to the place called “The Place of the Skull” where he was to be crucified. It is clear from v. 20 that this was outside the city. The Latin word for the Greek κρανίον (kranion) is calvaria. Thus the English word “Calvary” is a transliteration of the Latin rather than a NT place name (cf. Luke 23:33 in the KJV).

[19:17]  ⁸ tn Grk “in Hebrew.”

[19:17]  ⁹ sn This is a parenthetical note by the author.
