John 15:11

15:11 I have told you these things ¹  so that my joy may be in you, and your joy may be complete.

John 15:25

15:25 Now this happened ²  to fulfill the word that is written in their law, ‘They hated me without reason.’ ³ 

John 18:9

18:9 He said this ⁴  to fulfill the word he had spoken, ⁵  “I have not lost a single one of those whom you gave me.” ⁶ 

John 18:32

18:32 (This happened ⁷  to fulfill the word Jesus had spoken when he indicated ⁸  what kind of death he was going to die. ⁹ )

[15:11]  ¹ tn Grk “These things I have spoken to you.”

[15:25]  ² tn The words “this happened” are not in the Greek text but are supplied to complete an ellipsis.

[15:25]  ³ sn A quotation from Ps 35:19 and Ps 69:4. As a technical term law (νόμος, nomos) is usually restricted to the Pentateuch (the first five books of the OT), but here it must have a broader reference, since the quotation is from Ps 35:19 or Ps 69:4. The latter is the more likely source for the quoted words, since it is cited elsewhere in John’s Gospel (2:17 and 19:29, in both instances in contexts associated with Jesus’ suffering and death).

[18:9]  ³ tn The words “He said this” are not in the Greek text, but are implied. There is an ellipsis in the Greek text that must be supplied for the modern English reader at this point.

[18:9]  ⁴ sn This expression is similar to John 6:39 and John 17:12.

[18:9]  ⁵ tn Grk “Of the ones whom you gave me, I did not lose one of them.” The order of the clauses has been rearranged to reflect contemporary English style.

[18:32]  ⁴ tn The words “This happened” are not in the Greek text but are implied.

[18:32]  ⁵ tn Or “making clear.”

[18:32]  ⁶ sn A reference to John 12:32.
