John 1:50

1:50 Jesus said to him, ¹  “Because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree, do you believe? You will see greater things than these.” ² 

John 9:27

9:27 He answered, ³  “I told you already and you didn’t listen. ⁴  Why do you want to hear it ⁵  again? You people ⁶  don’t want to become his disciples too, do you?”

John 19:10

19:10 So Pilate said, ⁷  “Do you refuse to speak to me? Don’t you know I have the authority ⁸  to release you, and to crucify you?” ⁹ 

[1:50]  ¹ tn Grk “answered and said to him.” This has been simplified in the translation to “said to him.”

[1:50]  ² sn What are the greater things Jesus had in mind? In the narrative this forms an excellent foreshadowing of the miraculous signs which began at Cana of Galilee.

[9:27]  ³ tn Grk “He answered them.” The indirect object αὐτοῖς (autois) has not been translated for stylistic reasons.

[9:27]  ⁴ tn Grk “you did not hear.”

[9:27]  ⁵ tn “It” is not in the Greek text but has been supplied. Direct objects in Greek were often omitted when they were clearly implied in the context.

[9:27]  ⁶ tn The word “people” is supplied in the translation to clarify the plural Greek pronoun and verb.

[19:10]  ⁵ tn Grk “said to him.” The words “to him” are not translated because they are unnecessary in contemporary English style.

[19:10]  ⁶ tn Or “the power.”

[19:10]  ⁷ tn Grk “know that I have the authority to release you and the authority to crucify you.” Repetition of “the authority” is unnecessarily redundant English style.
