[5:41]  ¹ tn Or “I do not receive.”

[5:41]  ² tn Or “honor” (Grk “glory,” in the sense of respect or honor accorded to a person because of their status).

[5:41]  ³ tn Grk “from men,” but in a generic sense; both men and women are implied here.

[12:43]  ⁴ tn Grk “the glory.”

[12:43]  ⁵ tn Grk “the glory.”

[1:14]  ⁷ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the transition to a new topic, the incarnation of the Word. Greek style often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” but English style generally does not.

[1:14]  ⁸ tn This looks at the Word incarnate in humility and weakness; the word σάρξ (sarx) does not carry overtones of sinfulness here as it frequently does in Pauline usage. See also John 3:6.

[1:14]  ⁹ tn Grk “and tabernacled.”

[1:14]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “and we saw.”

[1:14]  ¹¹ tn Or “of the unique one.” Although this word is often translated “only begotten,” such a translation is misleading, since in English it appears to express a metaphysical relationship. The word in Greek was used of an only child (a son [Luke 7:12, 9:38] or a daughter [Luke 8:42]). It was also used of something unique (only one of its kind) such as the mythological Phoenix (1 Clem. 25:2). From here it passes easily to a description of Isaac (Heb 11:17 and Josephus, Ant., 1.13.1 [1.222]) who was not Abraham’s only son, but was one-of-a-kind because he was the child of the promise. Thus the word means “one-of-a-kind” and is reserved for Jesus in the Johannine literature of the NT. While all Christians are children of God, Jesus is God’s Son in a unique, one-of-a-kind sense. The word is used in this way in all its uses in the Gospel of John (1:14, 1:18, 3:16, and 3:18).

[5:44]  ¹⁰ tn Or “honor” (Grk “glory,” in the sense of respect or honor accorded to a person because of their status).

[5:44]  ¹¹ tn Or “honor” (Grk “glory,” in the sense of respect or honor accorded to a person because of their status).

[5:44]  ¹² tc Several early and important witnesses (Ì^66,75 B W a b sa) lack θεοῦ (qeou, “God”) here, thus reading “the only one,” while most of the rest of the tradition, including some important mss, has the name ({א A D L Θ Ψ 33 Ï}). Internally, it could be argued that the name of God was not used here, in keeping with the NT practice of suppressing the name of God at times for rhetorical effect, drawing the reader inexorably to the conclusion that the one being spoken of is God himself. On the other hand, never is ὁ μόνος (Jo mono") used absolutely in the NT (i.e., without a noun or substantive with it), and always the subject of the adjunct is God (cf. Matt 24:36; John 17:3; 1 Tim 6:16). What then is to explain the shorter reading? In uncial script, with θεοῦ written as a nomen sacrum, envisioning accidental omission of the name by way of homoioteleuton requires little imagination, largely because of the succession of words ending in -ου: toumonouqMuou. It is thus preferable to retain the word in the text.

[12:41]  ¹³ tn Grk “his”; the referent (Christ) has been specified in the translation for clarity. The referent supplied here is “Christ” rather than “Jesus” because it involves what Isaiah saw. It is clear that the author presents Isaiah as having seen the preincarnate glory of Christ, which was the very revelation of the Father (see John 1:18; John 14:9).

[7:18]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “who speaks from himself.”

[7:18]  ¹⁷ tn Or “seeks.”

[7:18]  ¹⁸ tn Or “praise”; Grk “glory.”

[7:18]  ¹⁹ tn Or “seeks.”

[7:18]  ²⁰ tn Or “praise”; Grk “glory.”

[7:18]  ²¹ tn Or “is truthful”; Grk “is true.”

[8:50]  ¹⁹ tn Grk “I am not seeking.”

[8:50]  ²⁰ tn Grk “my glory.”

[8:50]  ²¹ tn Grk “who seeks.”

[8:50]  ²² tn Or “will be the judge.”

[11:40]  ²² tn Grk “Jesus said to her.”

[17:22]  ²⁵ tn Grk And the glory.” The conjunction καί (kai, “and”) has not been translated here in keeping with the tendency of contemporary English style to use shorter sentences.

[2:11]  ²⁸ tn This sentence in Greek involves an object-complement construction. The force can be either “Jesus did this as,” or possibly “Jesus made this to be.” The latter translation accents not only Jesus’ power but his sovereignty too. Cf. also 4:54 where the same construction occurs.

[2:11]  ³⁰ tn Grk “in Cana of Galilee, and he revealed.”

[2:11]  ³¹ tn Or “his disciples trusted in him,” or “his disciples put their faith in him.”

[9:24]  ³¹ tn Grk “they called.”

[9:24]  ³² tn Grk “who was blind.”

[9:24]  ³³ tn Grk “Give glory to God” (an idiomatic formula used in placing someone under oath to tell the truth).

[9:24]  ³⁴ tn The phrase “this man” is a reference to Jesus.

[17:24]  ³⁴ tn Grk “the ones you have given me, I want these to be where I am with me.”

[17:24]  ³⁵ tn Grk “before the foundation of the world.”
