John 17:8

17:8 because I have given them the words you have given me. They ¹¹  accepted ¹²  them ¹³  and really ¹⁴  understand ¹⁵  that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me.

John 17:11-12

17:11 I ¹⁶  am no longer in the world, but ¹⁷  they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them safe ¹⁸  in your name ¹⁹  that you have given me, so that they may be one just as we are one. ²⁰  17:12 When I was with them I kept them safe ²¹  and watched over them ²²  in your name ²³  that you have given me. Not one ²⁴  of them was lost except the one destined for destruction, ²⁵  so that the scripture could be fulfilled. ²⁶

[3:26]  ¹ tn “River” is not in the Greek text but is supplied for clarity.

[4:50]  ² tn Grk “Go”; the word “home” is not in the Greek text, but is implied.

[4:50]  ³ tn Grk “and left.” The words “for home” are implied by the following verse.

[4:53]  ³ tn Grk “at that hour.”

[8:19]  ⁴ tn Grk “Then they were saying to him.” The imperfect verb has been translated with ingressive force here because of the introduction of a new line of questioning by the Pharisees. Jesus had just claimed his Father as a second witness; now his opponents want to know who his father is.

[8:19]  ⁵ sn If you knew me you would know my Father too. Jesus’ reply is based on his identity with the Father (see also John 1:18; 14:9).

[17:1]  ⁵ tn Grk “he raised his eyes” (an idiom).

[17:1]  ⁶ tn Or “to the sky.” The Greek word οὐρανός (ouranos) may be translated “sky” or “heaven” depending on the context.

[17:1]  ⁷ tn Grk “the hour.”

[17:1]  ⁸ tc The better witnesses (א B C* W 0109 0301) have “the Son” (ὁ υἱός, Jo Juios) here, while the majority (C³ L Ψ Ë¹³ 33 Ï) read “your Son also” (καὶ ὁ υἱὸς σου, kai Jo Juio" sou), or “your Son” (ὁ υἱὸς σου; A D Θ 0250 1 579 pc lat sy); the second corrector of C has καὶ ὁ υἱός (“the Son also”). The longer readings appear to be predictable scribal expansions and as such should be considered secondary.

[17:8]  ⁶ tn Grk And they.” The conjunction καί (kai, “and”) has not been translated here in keeping with the tendency of contemporary English style to use shorter sentences.

[17:8]  ⁷ tn Or “received.”

[17:8]  ⁸ tn The word “them” is not in the Greek text, but is implied. Direct objects were often omitted in Greek when clear from the context.

[17:8]  ⁹ tn Or “truly.”

[17:8]  ¹⁰ tn Or have come to know.”

[17:11]  ⁷ tn Grk And I.” The conjunction καί (kai, “and”) has not been translated here in keeping with the tendency of contemporary English style to use shorter sentences.

[17:11]  ⁸ tn The context indicates that this should be translated as an adversative or contrastive conjunction.

[17:11]  ⁹ tn Or “protect them”; Grk “keep them.”

[17:11]  ¹⁰ tn Or “by your name.”

[17:11]  ¹¹ tn The second repetition of “one” is implied, and is supplied here for clarity.

[17:12]  ⁸ tn Or “I protected them”; Grk “I kept them.”

[17:12]  ⁹ tn Grk “and guarded them.”

[17:12]  ¹⁰ tn Or “by your name.”

[17:12]  ¹¹ tn Grk And not one.” The conjunction καί (kai, “and”) has not been translated here in keeping with the tendency of contemporary English style to use shorter sentences.

[17:12]  ¹² tn Grk “the son of destruction” (a Semitic idiom for one appointed for destruction; here it is a reference to Judas).

[17:12]  ¹³ sn A possible allusion to Ps 41:9 or Prov 24:22 LXX. The exact passage is not specified here, but in John 13:18, Ps 41:9 is explicitly quoted by Jesus with reference to the traitor, suggesting that this is the passage to which Jesus refers here. The previous mention of Ps 41:9 in John 13:18 probably explains why the author felt no need for an explanatory parenthetical note here. It is also possible that the passage referred to here is Prov 24:22 LXX, where in the Greek text the phrase “son of destruction” appears.

[17:14]  ⁹ tn Or “your message.”

[17:14]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “because they are not of the world.”

[17:14]  ¹¹ tn Grk “just as I am not of the world.”

[21:18]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “Truly, truly, I say to you.”

[21:18]  ¹¹ tn Or “you girded yourself.”

[21:18]  ¹² tn Grk “others will gird you.”
