[3:22]  ¹ tn This section is related loosely to the preceding by μετὰ ταῦτα (meta tauta). This constitutes an indefinite temporal reference; the intervening time is not specified.

[4:52]  ² tn Grk “the hour.”

[4:52]  ³ tn BDAG 558 s.v. κομψότερον translates the idiom κομψότερον ἔχειν (komyoteron ecein) as “begin to improve.”

[4:52]  ⁴ tn The second οὖν (oun) in 4:52 has been translated as “and” to improve English style by avoiding redundancy.

[4:52]  ⁵ tn Grk “at the seventh hour.”

[10:4]  ³ tn The word “sheep” is not in the Greek text, but is implied.

[10:4]  ⁴ tn Grk “because they know.”

[10:32]  ⁴ tn Grk “Jesus answered them.”

[10:32]  ⁵ tn Or “good works.”

[11:37]  ⁵ tn Grk “who opened the eyes of the blind man” (“opening the eyes” is an idiom referring to restoration of sight).

[11:37]  ⁶ tn Grk “this one”; the second half of 11:37 reads Grk “Could not this one who opened the eyes of the blind have done something to keep this one from dying?” In the Greek text the repetition of “this one” in 11:37b referring to two different persons (first Jesus, second Lazarus) could confuse a modern reader. Thus the first reference, to Jesus, has been translated as “he” to refer back to the beginning of v. 37, where the reference to “the man who caused the blind man to see” is clearly a reference to Jesus. The second reference, to Lazarus, has been specified (“Lazarus”) in the translation for clarity.

[11:49]  ⁶ tn Grk “said to them.” The indirect object αὐτοῖς (autois) has not been translated for stylistic reasons.

[12:36]  ⁷ tn The idiom “sons of light” means essentially “people characterized by light,” that is, “people of God.”

[15:22]  ⁸ tn Grk “they would not have sin” (an idiom).

[17:9]  ⁹ tn Grk “I am asking.”

[17:9]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “I am not asking.”

[17:9]  ¹¹ tn Or “because they are yours.”

[18:5]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “They answered.”

[18:5]  ¹¹ sn This is a parenthetical note by the author. Before he states the response to Jesus’ identification of himself, the author inserts a parenthetical note that Judas, again identified as the one who betrayed him (cf. 18:2), was standing with the group of soldiers and officers of the chief priests. Many commentators have considered this to be an awkward insertion, but in fact it heightens considerably the dramatic effect of the response to Jesus’ self-identification in the following verse, and has the added effect of informing the reader that along with the others the betrayer himself ironically falls down at Jesus’ feet (18:6).
