John 2:17

2:17 His disciples remembered that it was written, “Zeal ¹  for your house will devour me.” ² 

John 8:17

8:17 It is written in your law that the testimony of two men is true. ³ 

John 15:25

15:25 Now this happened ⁴  to fulfill the word that is written in their law, ‘They hated me without reason.’ ⁵ 

[2:17]  ¹ tn Or “Fervent devotion to your house.”

[2:17]  ² sn A quotation from Ps 69:9.

[8:17]  ³ sn An allusion to Deut 17:6.

[15:25]  ⁵ tn The words “this happened” are not in the Greek text but are supplied to complete an ellipsis.

[15:25]  ⁶ 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).
