John 4:13

4:13 Jesus replied, ¹  “Everyone who drinks some of this water will be thirsty ²  again.

John 6:66

Peter’s Confession

6:66 After this many of his disciples quit following him ³  and did not accompany him ⁴  any longer.

John 18:29

18:29 So Pilate came outside to them and said, “What accusation ⁵  do you bring against this man?” ⁶ 

[4:13]  ¹ tn Grk “answered and said to her.”

[4:13]  ² tn Grk “will thirst.”

[6:66]  ³ tn Grk “many of his disciples went back to what lay behind.”

[6:66]  ⁴ tn Grk “were not walking with him.”

[18:29]  ⁵ tn Or “charge.”

[18:29]  ⁶ sn In light of the fact that Pilate had cooperated with them in Jesus’ arrest by providing Roman soldiers, the Jewish authorities were probably expecting Pilate to grant them permission to carry out their sentence on Jesus without resistance (the Jews were not permitted to exercise capital punishment under the Roman occupation without official Roman permission, cf. v. 31). They must have been taken somewhat by surprise by Pilate’s question “What accusation do you bring against this man,” because it indicated that he was going to try the prisoner himself. Thus Pilate was regarding the trial before Caiaphas and the Sanhedrin as only an inquiry and their decision as merely an accusation.
