John 18:36

18:36 Jesus replied, “My kingdom is not from this world. If my kingdom were from this world, my servants would be fighting to keep me from being ¹  handed over ²  to the Jewish authorities. ³  But as it is, ⁴  my kingdom is not from here.”

John 8:16

8:16 But if I judge, my evaluation is accurate, ⁵  because I am not alone when I judge, ⁶  but I and the Father who sent me do so together. ⁷ 

[18:36]  ¹ tn Grk “so that I may not be.”

[18:36]  ² tn Or “delivered over.”

[18:36]  ³ tn Or “the Jewish leaders”; Grk “the Jews.” Here the phrase refers to the Jewish leaders, especially members of the Sanhedrin. See the note on the phrase “Jewish leaders” in v. 12. In the translation “authorities” was preferred over “leaders” for stylistic reasons.

[8:16]  ⁵ tn Grk “my judgment is true.”

[8:16]  ⁶ tn The phrase “when I judge” is not in the Greek text, but is implied by the context.
