John 14:22-24

14:22 “Lord,” Judas (not Judas Iscariot) ¹  said, ²  “what has happened that you are going to reveal ³  yourself to us and not to the world?” 14:23 Jesus replied, ⁴  “If anyone loves me, he will obey ⁵  my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and take up residence with him. ⁶  14:24 The person who does not love me does not obey ⁷  my words. And the word ⁸  you hear is not mine, but the Father’s who sent me.

[14:22]  ¹ tn Grk “(not Iscariot).” The proper noun (Judas) has been repeated for clarity and smoothness in English style.

[14:22]  ² tn Grk “said to him.”

[14:22]  ³ tn Or “disclose.”

[14:23]  ⁴ tn Grk “answered and said to him.”

[14:23]  ⁵ tn Or “will keep.”

[14:23]  ⁶ tn Grk “we will come to him and will make our dwelling place with him.” The context here is individual rather than corporate indwelling, so the masculine singular pronoun has been retained throughout v. 23. It is important to note, however, that the pronoun is used generically here and refers equally to men, women, and children.

[14:24]  ⁷ tn Or “does not keep.”

[14:24]  ⁸ tn Or “the message.”
