John 6:64

6:64 But there are some of you who do not believe.” (For Jesus had already known from the beginning who those were who did not believe, and who it was who would betray him.) ¹ 

John 8:42

8:42 Jesus replied, ²  “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I have come from God and am now here. ³  I ⁴  have not come on my own initiative, ⁵  but he ⁶  sent me.

John 12:24

12:24 I tell you the solemn truth, ⁷  unless a kernel of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains by itself alone. ⁸  But if it dies, it produces ⁹  much grain. ¹⁰ 

John 12:34

12:34 Then the crowd responded, ¹¹  “We have heard from the law that the Christ ¹²  will remain forever. ¹³  How ¹⁴  can you say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up’? Who is this Son of Man?”

John 14:12

14:12 I tell you the solemn truth, ¹⁵  the person who believes in me will perform ¹⁶  the miraculous deeds ¹⁷  that I am doing, ¹⁸  and will perform ¹⁹  greater deeds ²⁰  than these, because I am going to the Father.

John 20:26

20:26 Eight days later the disciples were again together in the house, ²¹  and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were locked, ²²  Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!”

[6:64]  ¹ sn This is a parenthetical comment by the author.

[8:42]  ² tn Grk “Jesus said to them.”

[8:42]  ³ tn Or “I came from God and have arrived.”

[8:42]  ⁴ tn Grk “For I.” Here γάρ (gar) has not been translated.

[8:42]  ⁵ tn Grk “from myself.”

[8:42]  ⁶ tn Grk “that one” (referring to God).

[12:24]  ³ tn Grk “Truly, truly, I say to you.”

[12:24]  ⁴ tn Or “it remains only a single kernel.”

[12:24]  ⁵ tn Or “bears.”

[12:24]  ⁶ tn Grk “much fruit.”

[12:34]  ⁴ tn Grk “Then the crowd answered him.”

[12:34]  ⁵ tn Or “the Messiah” (Both Greek “Christ” and Hebrew and Aramaic “Messiah” mean “one who has been anointed”).

[12:34]  ⁶ tn Probably an allusion to Ps 89:35-37. It is difficult to pinpoint the passage in the Mosaic law to which the crowd refers. The ones most often suggested are Ps 89:36-37, Ps 110:4, Isa 9:7, Ezek 37:25, and Dan 7:14. None of these passages are in the Pentateuch per se, but “law” could in common usage refer to the entire OT (compare Jesus’ use in John 10:34). Of the passages mentioned, Ps 89:36-37 is the most likely candidate. This verse speaks of David’s “seed” remaining forever. Later in the same psalm, v. 51 speaks of the “anointed” (Messiah), and the psalm was interpreted messianically in both the NT (Acts 13:22, Rev 1:5, 3:14) and in the rabbinic literature (Genesis Rabbah 97).

[12:34]  ⁷ tn Grk “And how”; the conjunction καί (kai, “and”) has been left untranslated here for improved English style.

[14:12]  ⁵ tn Grk “Truly, truly, I say to you.”

[14:12]  ⁶ tn Or “will do.”

[14:12]  ⁷ tn Grk “the works.”

[14:12]  ⁸ tn Or “that I do.”

[14:12]  ⁹ tn Or “will do.”

[14:12]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “greater works.”

[20:26]  ⁶ tn Grk “were inside”; the word “together” is implied.

[20:26]  ⁷ tn Grk “the doors were shut”; “locked” conveys a more appropriate idea for the modern English reader.
