John 8:32

8:32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” ¹ 

John 14:20

14:20 You will know at that time ²  that I am in my Father and you are in me and I am in you.

John 8:28

8:28 Then Jesus said, ³  “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, ⁴  and I do nothing on my own initiative, ⁵  but I speak just what the Father taught me. ⁶ 

[8:32]  ¹ tn Or “the truth will release you.” The translation “set you free” or “release you” (unlike the more traditional “make you free”) conveys more the idea that the hearers were currently in a state of slavery from which they needed to be freed. The following context supports precisely this idea.

[14:20]  ² tn Grk “will know in that day.”

[8:28]  ³ tn Grk “Then Jesus said to them” (the words “to them” are not found in all mss).

[8:28]  ⁴ tn Grk “that I am.” See the note on this phrase in v. 24.

[8:28]  ⁵ tn Grk “I do nothing from myself.”

[8:28]  ⁶ tn Grk “but just as the Father taught me, these things I speak.”
