[11:52]  1 tn See the note on the word “nation” in the previous verse.

[11:52]  2 sn The author in his comment expands the prophecy to include the Gentiles (not for the Jewish nation only), a confirmation that the Fourth Gospel was directed, at least partly, to a Gentile audience. There are echoes of Pauline concepts here (particularly Eph 2:11-22) in the stress on the unity of Jew and Gentile.

[11:52]  3 tn Grk “that he might gather together.”

[11:52]  4 sn This is a parenthetical note by the author.
