10:18 No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down ⁹  of my own free will. ¹⁰  I have the authority ¹¹  to lay it down, and I have the authority ¹²  to take it back again. This commandment ¹³  I received from my Father.”

[4:9]  ¹ tn Or “a Judean.” Here BDAG 478 s.v. ᾿Ιουδαίος 2.a states, “Judean (with respect to birth, nationality, or cult).” The same term occurs in the plural later in this verse. In one sense “Judean” would work very well in the translation here, since the contrast is between residents of the two geographical regions. However, since in the context of this chapter the discussion soon becomes a religious rather than a territorial one (cf. vv. 19-26), the translation “Jew” has been retained here and in v. 22.

[4:9]  ² tn “Water” is supplied as the understood direct object of the infinitive πεῖν (pein).

[4:9]  ³ tn D. Daube (“Jesus and the Samaritan Woman: the Meaning of συγχράομαι [Jn 4:7ff],” JBL 69 [1950]: 137-47) suggests this meaning.

[4:9]  ⁴ sn This is a parenthetical note by the author.

[5:7]  ⁵ tn Or “Lord.” The Greek κύριος (kurios) means both “Sir” and “Lord.” In this passage the paralytic who was healed by Jesus never acknowledges Jesus as Lord – he rather reports Jesus to the authorities.

[5:7]  ⁶ tn Grk “while I am going.”

[5:7]  ⁷ tn Grk “another.”

[5:7]  ⁸ tn The word “there” is not in the Greek text but is implied.

[10:18]  ⁹ tn Or “give it up.”

[10:18]  ¹⁰ tn Or “of my own accord.” “Of my own free will” is given by BDAG 321 s.v. ἐμαυτοῦ c.

[10:18]  ¹¹ tn Or “I have the right.”

[10:18]  ¹² tn Or “I have the right.”

[10:18]  ¹³ tn Or “order.”

[10:25]  ¹³ tn Grk “answered them.”

[10:25]  ¹⁴ tn Or “the works.”

[13:8]  ¹⁷ tn Grk “You will never wash my feet forever.” The negation is emphatic in Greek but somewhat awkward in English. Emphasis is conveyed in the translation by the use of an exclamation point.

[13:8]  ¹⁸ tn Grk “Jesus answered him.”

[13:8]  ¹⁹ tn Or “you have no part in me.”

[15:5]  ²¹ tn Or “resides.”

[15:5]  ²² tn Or “yields.”

[15:5]  ²³ tn Grk “in him, this one bears much fruit.” The pronoun “this one” has been omitted from the translation because it is redundant according to contemporary English style.

[15:5]  ²⁴ tn Or “do.”

[15:26]  ²⁵ tn Or “Helper” or “Counselor”; Grk “Paraclete,” from the Greek word παράκλητος (paraklhto"). See the note on the word “Advocate” in John 14:16 for discussion of how this word is translated.

[15:26]  ²⁶ tn Grk “that one.”

[17:24]  ²⁹ tn Grk “the ones you have given me, I want these to be where I am with me.”

[17:24]  ³⁰ tn Grk “before the foundation of the world.”

[19:11]  ³³ tn Or “power.”

[19:11]  ³⁴ tn Or “who delivered me over to you.”

[19:11]  ³⁵ tn Grk “has the greater sin” (an idiom).
