[4:5]  ¹ tn Grk “town of Samaria.” The noun Σαμαρείας (Samareias) has been translated as an attributive genitive.

[4:5]  ² sn Sychar was somewhere in the vicinity of Shechem, possibly the village of Askar, 1.5 km northeast of Jacob’s well.

[4:5]  ³ sn Perhaps referred to in Gen 48:22.

[4:21]  ⁴ sn Woman was a polite form of address (see BDAG 208-9 s.v. γυνή 1), similar to “Madam” or “Ma’am” used in English in different regions.

[4:21]  ⁵ tn Grk “an hour.”

[4:21]  ⁶ tn The verb is plural.

[8:20]  ⁷ tn Grk “He”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:20]  ⁸ tn The term γαζοφυλάκιον (gazofulakion) can be translated “treasury” or “treasure room” in this context. BDAG 186 s.v. 1 notes, “It can be taken in this sense J 8:20 (sing.) in (or at) the treasury.” BDAG 186 s.v. 2 argues that the occurrences of this word in the synoptic gospels also refer to the treasury: “For Mk 12:41, 43; Lk 21:1 the mng. contribution box or receptacle is attractive. Acc. to Mishnah, Shekalim 6, 5 there were in the temple 13 such receptacles in the form of trumpets. But even in these passages the general sense of ‘treasury’ is prob., for the contributions would go [into] the treasury via the receptacles.” Based upon the extra-biblical evidence (see sn following), however, the translation opts to refer to the actual receptacles and not the treasury itself.

[8:20]  ⁹ tn Grk “the temple.”

[8:20]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “his hour.”

[8:20]  ¹¹ sn This is a parenthetical note by the author.

[8:31]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “to the Jews.” In NT usage the term ᾿Ιουδαῖοι (Ioudaioi) may refer to the entire Jewish people, the residents of Jerusalem and surrounding territory (i.e., “Judeans”), the authorities in Jerusalem, or merely those who were hostile to Jesus. (For further information see R. G. Bratcher, “‘The Jews’ in the Gospel of John,” BT 26 [1975]: 401-9; also BDAG 479 s.v. ᾿Ιουδαῖος 2.e.) Here the phrase refers to the Jewish people in Jerusalem who had been listening to Jesus’ teaching in the temple and had believed his claim to be the Messiah, hence, “those Judeans who had believed him.” The term “Judeans” is preferred here to the more general “people” because the debate concerns descent from Abraham (v. 33).

[8:31]  ¹¹ tn Grk “If you continue in my word.”

[8:31]  ¹² tn Or “truly.”

[14:13]  ¹³ tn Grk “And whatever you ask in my name, I will do it.”

[14:13]  ¹⁴ tn Or “may be praised” or “may be honored.”

[18:22]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[18:22]  ¹⁷ tn Grk “one of the high priest’s servants standing by gave Jesus a strike, saying.” For the translation of ῥάπισμα (rJapisma), see L&N 19.4.

[19:41]  ¹⁹ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[19:41]  ²⁰ sn See the note on Crucify in 19:6.

[19:41]  ²¹ tn Or “an orchard.”

[19:41]  ²² tn Or “orchard.”

[19:41]  ²³ tn Grk “been placed.”
