John 14:30

14:30 I will not speak with you much longer, ¹  for the ruler of this world is coming. ²  He has no power over me, ³ 

John 15:15

15:15 I no longer call you slaves, ⁴  because the slave does not understand ⁵  what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, because I have revealed to you everything ⁶  I heard ⁷  from my Father.

Acts 1:3

1:3 To the same apostles ⁸  also, after his suffering, ⁹  he presented himself alive with many convincing proofs. He was seen by them over a forty-day period ¹⁰  and spoke about matters concerning the kingdom of God.

[14:30]  ¹ tn Grk “I will no longer speak many things with you.”

[14:30]  ² sn The ruler of this world is a reference to Satan.

[14:30]  ³ tn Grk “in me he has nothing.”

[15:15]  ⁴ tn See the note on the word “slaves” in 4:51.

[15:15]  ⁵ tn Or “does not know.”

[15:15]  ⁶ tn Grk “all things.”

[15:15]  ⁷ tn Or “learned.”

[1:3]  ⁸ tn Grk “to them”; the referent (the apostles) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[1:3]  ⁹ sn After his suffering is a reference to Jesus’ crucifixion and the abuse which preceded it.

[1:3]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “during forty days.” The phrase “over a forty-day period” is used rather than “during forty days” because (as the other NT accounts of Jesus’ appearances make clear) Jesus was not continually visible to the apostles during the forty days, but appeared to them on various occasions.
