John 13:19-20

13:19 I am telling you this now, ¹  before it happens, so that when it happens you may believe ²  that I am he. ³  13:20 I tell you the solemn truth, ⁴  whoever accepts ⁵  the one I send accepts me, and whoever accepts me accepts the one who sent me.” ⁶ 

[13:19]  ¹ tn Or (perhaps) “I am certainly telling you this.” According to BDF §12.3 ἀπ᾿ ἄρτι (ap’ arti) should be read as ἀπαρτί (aparti), meaning “exactly, certainly.”

[13:19]  ² tn Grk “so that you may believe.”

[13:19]  ³ tn Grk “that I am.” R. E. Brown (John [AB], 2:555) argues for a nonpredicated ἐγώ εἰμι (egw eimi) here, but this is far from certain.

[13:20]  ⁴ tn Grk “Truly, truly, I say to you.”

[13:20]  ⁵ tn Or “receives,” and so throughout this verse.

[13:20]  ⁶ sn The one who sent me refers to God.
