John 9:35

The Man’s Response to Jesus

9:35 Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, so he found the man ⁴  and said to him, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?” ⁵

11:48 If we allow him to go on in this way, ⁶  everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away our sanctuary ⁷  and our nation.”

[6:44]  ¹ tn Or “attracts him,” or “pulls him.” The word is used of pulling or dragging, often by force. It is even used once of magnetic attraction (A. Oepke, TDNT 2:503).

[7:30]  ² tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[7:30]  ³ tn Grk “his hour.”

[9:35]  ³ tn Grk “found him”; the referent (the man) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[9:35]  ⁴ tc Although most witnesses (A L Θ Ψ 070 0250 Ë^1,13 33 Ï lat) have θεοῦ (qeou, “of God”) instead of ἀνθρώπου (anqrwpou, “of man”) here, the better witnesses (Ì^66,75 א B D W sy^s) have ἀνθρώπου. Not only is the external evidence decidedly on the side of ἀνθρώπου, but it is difficult to see such early and diverse witnesses changing θεοῦ to ἀνθρώπου. The wording “Son of Man” is thus virtually certain.

[11:48]  ⁴ tn Grk “If we let him do thus.”

[11:48]  ⁵ tn Or “holy place”; Grk “our place” (a reference to the temple in Jerusalem).
