[7:40]  ¹ tn Or “The common people” (as opposed to the religious authorities like the chief priests and Pharisees).

[7:40]  ² tn Or “truly.”

[7:40]  ³ sn The Prophet is a reference to the “prophet like Moses” of Deut 18:15, by this time an eschatological figure in popular belief.

[8:43]  ¹ tn Grk “you cannot hear,” but this is not a reference to deafness, but rather hearing in the sense of listening to something and responding to it.

[8:43]  ² tn Grk “my word.”

[10:8]  ¹ tn Grk “are” (present tense).

[10:8]  ² tn Or “the sheep did not hear them.”

[10:20]  ¹ tn Or “is insane.” To translate simply “he is mad” (so KJV, ASV, RSV; “raving mad” NIV) could give the impression that Jesus was angry, while the actual charge was madness or insanity.

[11:6]  ¹ tn Grk “that he”; the referent (Lazarus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[11:20]  ¹ sn Notice the difference in the response of the two sisters: Martha went out to meet Jesus, while Mary remains sitting in the house. It is similar to the incident in Luke 10:38-42.
