John 7:29

7:29 but ¹  I know him, because I have come from him ²  and he ³  sent me.”

John 6:57

6:57 Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so the one who consumes ⁴  me will live because of me.

John 14:12

14:12 I tell you the solemn truth, ⁵  the person who believes in me will perform ⁶  the miraculous deeds ⁷  that I am doing, ⁸  and will perform ⁹  greater deeds ¹⁰  than these, because I am going to the Father.

[7:29]  ¹ tn Although the conjunction “but” is not in the Greek text, the contrast is implied (an omitted conjunction is called asyndeton).

[7:29]  ² tn The preposition παρά (para) followed by the genitive has the local sense preserved and can be used of one person sending another. This does not necessarily imply origin in essence or eternal generation.

[7:29]  ³ tn Grk “and that one.”

[6:57]  ⁴ tn Or “who chews”; Grk “who eats.” Here the translation “consumes” is more appropriate than simply “eats,” because it is the internalization of Jesus by the individual that is in view. On the alternation between ἐσθίω (esqiw, “eat,” v. 53) and τρώγω (trwgw, “eats,” vv. 54, 56, 58; “consumes,” v. 57) see the note on “eats” in v. 54.

[14:12]  ⁷ tn Grk “Truly, truly, I say to you.”

[14:12]  ⁸ tn Or “will do.”

[14:12]  ⁹ tn Grk “the works.”

[14:12]  ¹⁰ tn Or “that I do.”

[14:12]  ¹¹ tn Or “will do.”

[14:12]  ¹² tn Grk “greater works.”
