John 18:20

18:20 Jesus replied, ⁴  “I have spoken publicly to the world. I always taught in the synagogues ⁵  and in the temple courts, ⁶  where all the Jewish people ⁷  assemble together. I ⁸  have said nothing in secret.

[40:10]  ¹ tn Heb “your justice I have not hidden in the midst of my heart.”

[40:10]  ² tn Heb “I have not hidden your loyal love and reliability.”

[111:1]  ³ sn Psalm 111. The psalmist praises God for his marvelous deeds, especially the way in which he provides for and delivers his people. The psalm is an acrostic. After the introductory call to praise, every poetic line (twenty-two in all) begins with a successive letter of the Hebrew alphabet.

[18:20]  ⁴ tn Grk “Jesus answered him.”

[18:20]  ⁵ sn See the note on synagogue in 6:59.

[18:20]  ⁶ tn Grk “in the temple.”

[18:20]  ⁷ tn Grk “the Jews.” Here the phrase refers to the Jewish people generally, for whom the synagogues and the temple courts in Jerusalem were important public gathering places. See also the note on the phrase “Jewish religious leaders” in v. 12.

[18:20]  ⁸ 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.
