John 3:33

3:33 The one who has accepted his testimony has confirmed clearly that God is truthful. ¹ 

John 13:30

13:30 Judas ²  took the piece of bread and went out immediately. (Now it was night.) ³ 

[3:33]  ¹ tn Or “is true.”

[13:30]  ² tn Grk “That one”; the referent (Judas) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[13:30]  ³ sn Now it was night is a parenthetical note by the author. The comment is more than just a time indicator, however. With the departure of Judas to set in motion the betrayal, arrest, trials, crucifixion, and death of Jesus, daytime is over and night has come (see John 9:5; 11:9-10; 12:35-36). Judas had become one of those who walked by night and stumbled, because the light was not in him (11:10).
