John 15:3

15:3 You are clean already ¹  because of the word that I have spoken to you.

John 19:8

19:8 When Pilate heard what they said, ²  he was more afraid than ever, ³ 

[15:3]  ¹ sn The phrase you are clean already occurs elsewhere in the Gospel of John only at the washing of the disciples’ feet in 13:10, where Jesus had used it of the disciples being cleansed from sin. This further confirms the proposed understanding of John 15:2 and 15:6 since Judas was specifically excluded from this statement (but not all of you).

[19:8]  ² tn Grk “heard this word.”

[19:8]  ³ tn Grk “became more afraid.”
