[11:25]  1 tn Grk “At that time, answering, Jesus said.” This construction is somewhat redundant in English and has been simplified in the translation.

[11:25]  2 tn Or “thank.”

[11:25]  3 sn The title Lord is an important name for God, showing his sovereignty, but it is interesting that it comes next to a reference to the Father, a term indicative of God’s care. The two concepts are often related in the NT; see Eph 1:3-6.

[11:25]  4 tn Or “that.”

[11:25]  5 sn See 1 Cor 1:26-31.

[11:26]  6 tn Grk “for (to do) thus was well-pleasing before you,” BDAG 325 s.v. ἔμπροσθεν 1.b.δ; speaking of something taking place “before” God is a reverential way of avoiding direct connection of the action to him.

[11:41]  7 tn Or “they removed.”

[11:41]  8 tn Grk “lifted up his eyes above.”

[11:41]  9 tn Or “that you have heard me.”

[17:24]  10 tn Grk “the ones you have given me, I want these to be where I am with me.”

[17:24]  11 tn Grk “before the foundation of the world.”

[17:25]  12 tn The word “men” is not in the Greek text but is implied. The translation uses the word “men” here rather than a more general term like “people” because the use of the aorist verb ἔγνωσαν (egnwsan) implies that Jesus is referring to the disciples present with him as he spoke these words (presumably all of them men in the historical context), rather than to those who are yet to believe because of their testimony (see John 17:20).

[17:26]  13 tn The translation “will continue to make it known” is proposed by R. E. Brown (John [AB], 2:773).
