John 5:37

5:37 And the Father who sent me has himself testified about me. You people ¹  have never heard his voice nor seen his form at any time, ² 

John 10:4

10:4 When he has brought all his own sheep ³  out, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they recognize ⁴  his voice.

[5:37]  ¹ tn The word “people” is not in the Greek text, but is supplied to clarify that the following verbs (“heard,” “seen,” “have residing,” “do not believe”) are second person plural.

[5:37]  ² sn You people have never heard his voice nor seen his form at any time. Compare Deut 4:12. Also see Deut 5:24 ff., where the Israelites begged to hear the voice no longer – their request (ironically) has by this time been granted. How ironic this would be if the feast is Pentecost, where by the 1st century a.d. the giving of the law at Sinai was being celebrated.

[10:4]  ³ tn The word “sheep” is not in the Greek text, but is implied.

[10:4]  ⁴ tn Grk “because they know.”
