John 8:26

8:26 I have many things to say and to judge ¹  about you, but the Father ²  who sent me is truthful, ³  and the things I have heard from him I speak to the world.” ⁴ 

John 10:38

10:38 But if I do them, even if you do not believe me, believe the deeds, ⁵  so that you may come to know ⁶  and understand that I am in the Father and the Father is in me.”

John 14:21

14:21 The person who has my commandments and obeys ⁷  them is the one who loves me. ⁸  The one ⁹  who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will reveal ¹⁰  myself to him.”

John 15:4-5

15:4 Remain ¹¹  in me, and I will remain in you. ¹²  Just as the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, ¹³  unless it remains ¹⁴  in ¹⁵  the vine, so neither can you unless you remain ¹⁶  in me.

15:5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. The one who remains ¹⁷  in me – and I in him – bears ¹⁸  much fruit, ¹⁹  because apart from me you can accomplish ²⁰  nothing.

John 17:11

17:11 I ²⁵  am no longer in the world, but ²⁶  they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them safe ²⁷  in your name ²⁸  that you have given me, so that they may be one just as we are one. ²⁹ 

John 17:21

17:21 that they will all be one, just as you, Father, are in me and I am in you. I pray ³⁰  that they will be in us, so that the world will believe that you sent me.

[8:26]  ¹ 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]  ² tn Grk “the one”; the referent (the Father) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[8:26]  ³ tn Grk “true” (in the sense of one who always tells the truth).

[8:26]  ⁴ tn Grk “and what things I have heard from him, these things I speak to the world.”

[10:38]  ⁵ tn Or “works.”

[10:38]  ⁶ tn Or “so that you may learn.”

[14:21]  ⁹ tn Or “keeps.”

[14:21]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “obeys them, that one is the one who loves me.”

[14:21]  ¹¹ tn Grk “And the one.” Here the conjunction καί (kai) has not been translated to improve the English style.

[14:21]  ¹² tn Or “will disclose.”

[15:4]  ¹³ tn Or “Reside.”

[15:4]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “and I in you.” The verb has been repeated for clarity and to conform to contemporary English style, which typically allows fewer ellipses (omitted or understood words) than Greek.

[15:4]  ¹⁵ sn The branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it remains connected to the vine, from which its life and sustenance flows. As far as the disciples were concerned, they would produce no fruit from themselves if they did not remain in their relationship to Jesus, because the eternal life which a disciple must possess in order to bear fruit originates with Jesus; he is the source of all life and productivity for the disciple.

[15:4]  ¹⁶ tn Or “resides.”

[15:4]  ¹⁷ tn While it would be more natural to say “on the vine” (so NAB), the English preposition “in” has been retained here to emphasize the parallelism with the following clause “unless you remain in me.” To speak of remaining “in” a person is not natural English either, but is nevertheless a biblical concept (cf. “in Christ” in Eph 1:3, 4, 6, 7, 11).

[15:4]  ¹⁸ tn Or “you reside.”

[15:5]  ¹⁷ tn Or “resides.”

[15:5]  ¹⁸ tn Or “yields.”

[15:5]  ¹⁹ tn Grk “in him, this one bears much fruit.” The pronoun “this one” has been omitted from the translation because it is redundant according to contemporary English style.

[15:5]  ²⁰ tn Or “do.”

[17:6]  ²¹ tn Or “made known,” “disclosed.”

[17:6]  ²² tn Here “men” is retained as a translation for ἀνθρώποις (anqrwpoi") rather than the more generic “people” because in context it specifically refers to the eleven men Jesus had chosen as apostles (Judas had already departed, John 13:30). If one understands the referent here to be the broader group of Jesus’ followers that included both men and women, a translation like “to the people” should be used here instead.

[17:6]  ²³ tn Grk “Yours they were.”

[17:6]  ²⁴ tn Or “have kept.”

[17:11]  ²⁵ tn Grk And I.” The conjunction καί (kai, “and”) has not been translated here in keeping with the tendency of contemporary English style to use shorter sentences.

[17:11]  ²⁶ tn The context indicates that this should be translated as an adversative or contrastive conjunction.

[17:11]  ²⁷ tn Or “protect them”; Grk “keep them.”

[17:11]  ²⁸ tn Or “by your name.”

[17:11]  ²⁹ tn The second repetition of “one” is implied, and is supplied here for clarity.

[17:21]  ²⁹ tn The words “I pray” are repeated from the first part of v. 20 for clarity.
