Yohanes 9:16

9:16 Then some of the Pharisees began to say, ¹  “This man is not from God, because he does not observe ²  the Sabbath.” ³  But others said, “How can a man who is a sinner perform ⁴  such miraculous signs?” Thus there was a division ⁵  among them.

Yohanes 15:15

15:15 I no longer call you slaves, ⁶  because the slave does not understand ⁷  what his master is doing. But I have called you friends, because I have revealed to you everything ⁸  I heard ⁹  from my Father.

[9:16]  ¹ 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]  ² tn Grk “he does not keep.”

[9:16]  ³ sn The Jewish religious leaders considered the work involved in making the mud to be a violation of the Sabbath.

[9:16]  ⁴ tn Grk “do.”

[9:16]  ⁵ tn Or “So there was discord.”

[15:15]  ⁶ tn See the note on the word “slaves” in 4:51.

[15:15]  ⁷ tn Or “does not know.”

[15:15]  ⁸ tn Grk “all things.”

[15:15]  ⁹ tn Or “learned.”
