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 9:24

9:24 Then they summoned ⁵  the man who used to be blind ⁶  a second time and said to him, “Promise before God to tell the truth. ⁷  We know that this man ⁸  is a sinner.”

[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.

[9:24]  ⁵ tn Grk “they called.”

[9:24]  ⁶ tn Grk “who was blind.”

[9:24]  ⁷ tn Grk “Give glory to God” (an idiomatic formula used in placing someone under oath to tell the truth).

[9:24]  ⁸ tn The phrase “this man” is a reference to Jesus.
