John 17:6

Jesus Prays for the Disciples

17:6 “I have revealed ¹  your name to the men ²  you gave me out of the world. They belonged to you, ³  and you gave them to me, and they have obeyed ⁴  your word.

John 20:26

20:26 Eight days later the disciples were again together in the house, ⁵  and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were locked, ⁶  Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!”

John 21:2

21:2 Simon Peter, Thomas ⁷  (called Didymus), ⁸  Nathanael ⁹  (who was from Cana ¹⁰  in Galilee), the sons ¹¹  of Zebedee, ¹²  and two other disciples ¹³  of his were together.

John 21:8

21:8 Meanwhile the other disciples came with the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from land, only about a hundred yards. ¹⁴ 

[17:6]  ¹ tn Or “made known,” “disclosed.”

[17:6]  ² tn Here “men” is retained as a translation for ἀνθρώποις (anqrwpoi") rather than the more generic “people” because in context it specifically refers to the eleven men Jesus had chosen as apostles (Judas had already departed, John 13:30). If one understands the referent here to be the broader group of Jesus’ followers that included both men and women, a translation like “to the people” should be used here instead.

[17:6]  ³ tn Grk “Yours they were.”

[17:6]  ⁴ tn Or “have kept.”

[20:26]  ⁵ tn Grk “were inside”; the word “together” is implied.

[20:26]  ⁶ tn Grk “the doors were shut”; “locked” conveys a more appropriate idea for the modern English reader.

[21:2]  ⁹ tn Grk “and Thomas.” The conjunction καί (kai, “and”) has not been translated here in keeping with the tendency of contemporary English style to use a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements of a series.

[21:2]  ¹⁰ sn Didymus means “the twin” in Greek.

[21:2]  ¹¹ tn Grk “and Nathanael.” The conjunction καί (kai, “and”) has not been translated here in keeping with the tendency of contemporary English style to use a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements of a series.

[21:2]  ¹² map For location see Map1 C3; Map2 D2; Map3 C5.

[21:2]  ¹³ tn Grk “and the sons.” The conjunction καί (kai, “and”) has not been translated here in keeping with the tendency of contemporary English style to use a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements of a series.

[21:2]  ¹⁴ sn The sons of Zebedee were James and John.

[21:2]  ¹⁵ sn The two other disciples who are not named may have been Andrew and Philip, who are mentioned together in John 6:7-8 and 12:22.

[21:8]  ¹³ tn Or “about a hundred meters”; Grk “about two hundred cubits.” According to BDAG 812 s.v., a πῆχυς (phcu") was about 18 inches or .462 meters, so two hundred πηχῶν (phcwn) would be about 100 yards (92.4 meters).
