John 5:7

5:7 The sick man answered him, “Sir, ¹  I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up. While I am trying to get into the water, ²  someone else ³  goes down there ⁴  before me.”

John 8:26

8:26 I have many things to say and to judge ⁵  about you, but the Father ⁶  who sent me is truthful, ⁷  and the things I have heard from him I speak to the world.” ⁸ 

John 10:16

10:16 I have ⁹  other sheep that do not come from ¹⁰  this sheepfold. ¹¹  I must bring them too, and they will listen to my voice, ¹²  so that ¹³  there will be one flock and ¹⁴  one shepherd.

[5:7]  ¹ 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]  ² tn Grk “while I am going.”

[5:7]  ³ tn Grk “another.”

[5:7]  ⁴ tn The word “there” is not in the Greek text but is implied.

[8:26]  ⁵ tn Or “I have many things to pronounce in judgment about you.” The two Greek infinitives could be understood as a hendiadys, resulting in one phrase.

[8:26]  ⁶ tn Grk “the one”; the referent (the Father) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:26]  ⁷ tn Grk “true” (in the sense of one who always tells the truth).

[8:26]  ⁸ tn Grk “and what things I have heard from him, these things I speak to the world.”

[10:16]  ⁹ tn Grk “And I have.” 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.

[10:16]  ¹⁰ tn Or “that do not belong to”; Grk “that are not of.”

[10:16]  ¹¹ sn The statement I have other sheep that do not come from this sheepfold almost certainly refers to Gentiles. Jesus has sheep in the fold who are Jewish; there are other sheep which, while not of the same fold, belong to him also. This recalls the mission of the Son in 3:16-17, which was to save the world – not just the nation of Israel. Such an emphasis would be particularly appropriate to the author if he were writing to a non-Palestinian and primarily non-Jewish audience.

[10:16]  ¹² tn Grk “they will hear my voice.”

[10:16]  ¹³ tn Grk “voice, and.”

[10:16]  ¹⁴ tn The word “and” is not in the Greek text, but must be supplied to conform to English style. In Greek it is an instance of asyndeton (omission of a connective), usually somewhat emphatic.
