John 5:29

5:29 and will come out – the ones who have done what is good to the resurrection resulting in life, and the ones who have done what is evil to the resurrection resulting in condemnation. ¹ 

John 8:3

8:3 The experts in the law ²  and the Pharisees ³  brought a woman who had been caught committing adultery. They made her stand in front of them

John 11:8

11:8 The disciples replied, ⁴  “Rabbi, the Jewish leaders ⁵  were just now trying ⁶  to stone you to death! Are ⁷  you going there again?”

[5:29]  ¹ tn Or “a resurrection resulting in judgment.”

[8:3]  ² tn Or “The scribes.” The traditional rendering of γραμματεύς (grammateu") as “scribe” does not communicate much to the modern English reader, for whom the term might mean “professional copyist,” if it means anything at all. The people referred to here were recognized experts in the law of Moses and in traditional laws and regulations. Thus “expert in the law” comes closer to the meaning for the modern reader.

[8:3]  ³ sn See the note on Pharisees in 1:24.

[11:8]  ³ tn Grk “The disciples said to him.”

[11:8]  ⁴ tn Or “the Jewish authorities”; Grk “the Jews.” In NT usage the term ᾿Ιουδαῖοι (Ioudaioi) may refer to the entire Jewish people, the residents of Jerusalem and surrounding territory, 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.) Here the phrase refers to the Jewish leaders. See the previous references and the notes on the phrase “Jewish people” in v. 19, and “Jewish religious leaders” in vv. 24, 31, 33.

[11:8]  ⁵ tn Grk “seeking.”

[11:8]  ⁶ tn Grk “And are.” Because of the difference between Greek style, which often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” and English style, which generally does not, καί (kai) has not been translated here.
