NET Notes

1 tn Grk “his”; the referent (John) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

2 tn Grk “And the two disciples heard him speaking.”

3 sn The expression followed Jesus pictures discipleship, which means that to learn from Jesus is to follow him as the guiding priority of one’s life.
