[2:10]  ¹ tn Grk “every man” (in a generic sense).

[2:10]  ² tn Or “poorer.”

[2:10]  ³ tn Grk “when they”; the referent (the guests) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[9:4]  ⁴ tn Grk “We must work the works.”

[9:4]  ⁵ tn Or “of him who sent me” (God).

[9:4]  ⁶ tn Or “while.”

[9:18]  ⁷ tn Or “the Jewish religious authorities”; Grk “the Jews.” In NT usage the term ᾿Ιουδαῖοι (Ioudaioi) may refer to the entire Jewish people, the residents of Jerusalem and surrounding territory, the authorities in Jerusalem, or merely those who were hostile to Jesus. (For further information see R. G. Bratcher, “‘The Jews’ in the Gospel of John,” BT 26 [1975]: 401-9.) Here the phrase refers mainly to the Pharisees, mentioned by name in John 9:13, 15, 16. References in this context to Pharisees and to the synagogue (v. 22) suggest an emphasis on the religious nature of the debate which is brought out by the translation “the Jewish religious leaders.”

[9:18]  ⁸ tn The Greek text contains the words “about him” at this point: “the Jewish authorities did not believe about him…”

[9:18]  ⁹ tn Grk “they called.”

[9:18]  ¹⁰ tn Or “the man who had gained his sight.”

[13:38]  ¹⁰ tn Or “Will you die willingly for me?”

[13:38]  ¹¹ tn Grk “Truly, truly, I say to you.”

[16:24]  ¹³ tn The word “it” is not in the Greek text, but is implied. Direct objects were often omitted in Greek when clear from the context.

[21:22]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “Jesus said to him.”

[21:22]  ¹⁷ tn Grk “to stay” or “to remain”; but since longevity is the issue in the context, “to live” conveys the idea more clearly.

[21:22]  ¹⁸ tn The word “back” is supplied to clarify the meaning.
