John 9:16

9:16 Then some of the Pharisees began to say, ⁸  “This man is not from God, because he does not observe ⁹  the Sabbath.” ¹⁰  But others said, “How can a man who is a sinner perform ¹¹  such miraculous signs?” Thus there was a division ¹²  among them.

[8:5]  ¹ sn An allusion to Lev 20:10 and Deut 22:22-24.

[8:5]  ² sn The accusers themselves subtly misrepresented the law. The Mosaic law stated that in the case of adultery, both the man and woman must be put to death (Lev 20:10, Deut 22:22), but they mentioned only such women.

[4:23]  ⁵ sn See also John 4:27.

[4:23]  ⁶ tn Or “as.” The object-complement construction implies either “as” or “to be.”

[9:16]  ⁵ tn As a response to the answers of the man who used to be blind, the use of the imperfect tense in the reply of the Pharisees is best translated as an ingressive imperfect (“began to say” or “started saying”).

[9:16]  ⁶ tn Grk “he does not keep.”

[9:16]  ⁷ sn The Jewish religious leaders considered the work involved in making the mud to be a violation of the Sabbath.

[9:16]  ⁸ tn Grk “do.”

[9:16]  ⁹ tn Or “So there was discord.”
