4:2 (although Jesus himself was not baptizing, but his disciples were), ¹¹ 

Yohanes 4:15

4:15 The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I will not be thirsty or have to come here to draw ¹²  water.” ¹³ 

[10:32]  ¹ tn Or “confesses.”

[10:32]  ² tn Grk “I will acknowledge him also.”

[12:8]  ³ tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[12:8]  ⁴ tn Or “confesses.”

[12:8]  ⁵ tn Although this is a generic reference and includes both males and females, in this context “men” has been retained because of the wordplay with the Son of Man and the contrast with the angels. The same is true of the occurrence of “men” in v. 9.

[12:8]  ⁶ sn This acknowledgment will take place at the judgment. Of course, the Son of Man is a reference to Jesus as it has been throughout the Gospel. On Jesus and judgment, see 22:69; Acts 10:42-43; 17:31.

[10:10]  ⁷ tn Grk “believes to righteousness.”

[4:15]  ¹² tn Grk “or come here to draw.”

[4:15]  ¹³ tn The direct object of the infinitive ἀντλεῖν (antlein) is understood in Greek but supplied for clarity in the English translation.
