John 3:26

3:26 So they came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, the one who was with you on the other side of the Jordan River, ³  about whom you testified – see, he is baptizing, and everyone is flocking to him!”

John 8:28

John 12:40

and hardened their heart, ⁸

John 20:27

[1:45]  ¹ sn Nathanael is traditionally identified with Bartholomew (although John never describes him as such). He appears here after Philip, while in all lists of the twelve except in Acts 1:13, Bartholomew follows Philip. Also, the Aramaic Bar-tolmai means “son of Tolmai,” the surname; the man almost certainly had another name.

[1:45]  ² tn “Also” is not in the Greek text, but is implied.

[3:26]  ³ tn “River” is not in the Greek text but is supplied for clarity.

[8:28]  ⁵ tn Grk “Then Jesus said to them” (the words “to them” are not found in all mss).

[8:28]  ⁶ tn Grk “that I am.” See the note on this phrase in v. 24.

[8:28]  ⁷ tn Grk “I do nothing from myself.”

[8:28]  ⁸ tn Grk “but just as the Father taught me, these things I speak.”

[12:40]  ⁷ tn Or “closed their mind.”

[12:40]  ⁸ tn Or “their mind.”

[12:40]  ⁹ tn One could also translate στραφῶσιν (strafwsin) as “repent” or “change their ways,” but both of these terms would be subject to misinterpretation by the modern English reader. The idea is one of turning back to God, however. The words “to me” are not in the Greek text, but are implied.

[12:40]  ¹⁰ sn A quotation from Isa 6:10.

[20:27]  ⁹ tn Or “Extend” or “Reach out.” The translation “put” or “reach out” for φέρω (ferw) here is given in BDAG 1052 s.v. 4.

[20:27]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “see.” The Greek verb ἴδε (ide) is often used like its cognate ἰδού (idou) in Hellenistic Greek (which is “used to emphasize the …importance of someth.” [BDAG 468 s.v. ἰδού 1.b.ε]).

[20:27]  ¹¹ tn Or “reach out” or “put.”

[20:27]  ¹² tn The word “it” is not in the Greek text but is implied. Direct objects were often omitted in Greek when clear from the context.

[20:27]  ¹³ tn Grk “and do not be unbelieving, but believing.”
