John 3:22

Further Testimony About Jesus by John the Baptist

3:22 After this, ¹  Jesus and his disciples came into Judean territory, and there he spent time with them and was baptizing.

John 8:29

8:29 And the one who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone, ²  because I always do those things that please him.”

John 9:40

9:40 Some of the Pharisees ³  who were with him heard this ⁴  and asked him, ⁵  “We are not blind too, are we?” ⁶ 

John 11:56

11:56 Thus they were looking for Jesus, ⁷  and saying to one another as they stood in the temple courts, ⁸  “What do you think? That he won’t come to the feast?”

John 12:17

12:17 So the crowd who had been with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead were continuing to testify about it. ⁹ 

John 18:5

18:5 They replied, ¹⁰  “Jesus the Nazarene.” He told them, “I am he.” (Now Judas, the one who betrayed him, was standing there with them.) ¹¹ 

[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.

[8:29]  ² tn That is, “he has not abandoned me.”

[9:40]  ³ sn See the note on Pharisees in 1:24.

[9:40]  ⁴ tn Grk “heard these things.”

[9:40]  ⁵ tn Grk “and said to him.”

[9:40]  ⁶ tn Questions prefaced with μή (mh) in Greek anticipate a negative answer. This can sometimes be indicated by using a “tag” at the end in English (here the tag is “are we?”).

[11:56]  ⁴ tn Grk “they were seeking Jesus.”

[11:56]  ⁵ tn Grk “in the temple.”

[12:17]  ⁵ tn The word “it” is not included in the Greek text. Direct objects in Greek were often omitted when clear from the context.

[18:5]  ⁶ tn Grk “They answered.”

[18:5]  ⁷ 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).
