[5:32] 1 sn To whom does another refer? To John the Baptist or to the Father? In the nearer context, v. 33, it would seem to be John the Baptist. But v. 34 seems to indicate that Jesus does not receive testimony from men. Probably it is better to view v. 32 as identical to v. 37, with the comments about the Baptist as a parenthetical digression.
[6:9] 2 tn Grk “but what are these”; the word “good” is not in the Greek text, but is implied.
[9:9] 3 tn Grk “Others were saying.”
[9:9] 4 tn Grk “This is the one.”
[9:9] 5 tn Grk “No, but he is like him.”
[9:9] 6 tn Grk “That one”; the referent (the man himself) is specified in the translation for clarity.
