Yohanes 3:26

3:26 So they came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, the one who was with you on the other side of the Jordan River, ¹  about whom you testified – see, he is baptizing, and everyone is flocking to him!”

Yohanes 4:50

4:50 Jesus told him, “Go home; ²  your son will live.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and set off for home. ³ 

Yohanes 4:53

4:53 Then the father realized that it was the very time ⁴  Jesus had said to him, “Your son will live,” and he himself believed along with his entire household.

Yohanes 8:19

8:19 Then they began asking ⁵  him, “Who is your father?” Jesus answered, “You do not know either me or my Father. If you knew me you would know my Father too.” ⁶ 

Yohanes 17:1

Jesus Prays for the Father to Glorify Him

17:1 When Jesus had finished saying these things, he looked upward ⁷  to heaven ⁸  and said, “Father, the time ⁹  has come. Glorify your Son, so that your ¹⁰  Son may glorify you –

Yohanes 17:8

17:8 because I have given them the words you have given me. They ¹¹  accepted ¹²  them ¹³  and really ¹⁴  understand ¹⁵  that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me.

Yohanes 17:11-12

17:11 I ¹⁶  am no longer in the world, but ¹⁷  they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them safe ¹⁸  in your name ¹⁹  that you have given me, so that they may be one just as we are one. ²⁰  17:12 When I was with them I kept them safe ²¹  and watched over them ²²  in your name ²³  that you have given me. Not one ²⁴  of them was lost except the one destined for destruction, ²⁵  so that the scripture could be fulfilled. ²⁶ 

Yohanes 17:14

17:14 I have given them your word, ²⁷  and the world has hated them, because they do not belong to the world, ²⁸  just as I do not belong to the world. ²⁹ 

Yohanes 21:18

21:18 I tell you the solemn truth, ³⁰  when you were young, you tied your clothes around you ³¹  and went wherever you wanted, but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and others will tie you up ³²  and bring you where you do not want to go.”

[3:26]  ¹ tn “River” is not in the Greek text but is supplied for clarity.

[4:50]  ² tn Grk “Go”; the word “home” is not in the Greek text, but is implied.

[4:50]  ³ tn Grk “and left.” The words “for home” are implied by the following verse.

[4:53]  ⁴ tn Grk “at that hour.”

[8:19]  ⁵ tn Grk “Then they were saying to him.” The imperfect verb has been translated with ingressive force here because of the introduction of a new line of questioning by the Pharisees. Jesus had just claimed his Father as a second witness; now his opponents want to know who his father is.

[8:19]  ⁶ sn If you knew me you would know my Father too. Jesus’ reply is based on his identity with the Father (see also John 1:18; 14:9).

[17:1]  ⁷ tn Grk “he raised his eyes” (an idiom).

[17:1]  sn Jesus also looked upward before his prayer in John 11:41. This was probably a common posture in prayer. According to the parable in Luke 18:13 the tax collector did not feel himself worthy to do this.

[17:1]  ⁸ tn Or “to the sky.” The Greek word οὐρανός (ouranos) may be translated “sky” or “heaven” depending on the context.

[17:1]  ⁹ tn Grk “the hour.”

[17:1]  sn The time has come. Jesus has said before that his “hour” had come, both in 12:23 when some Greeks sought to speak with him, and in 13:1 where just before he washed the disciples’ feet. It appears best to understand the “hour” as a period of time starting at the end of Jesus’ public ministry and extending through the passion week, ending with Jesus’ return to the Father through death, resurrection, and exaltation. The “hour” begins as soon as the first events occur which begin the process that leads to Jesus’ death.

[17:1]  ¹⁰ tc The better witnesses (א B C* W 0109 0301) have “the Son” (ὁ υἱός, Jo Juios) here, while the majority (C³ L Ψ Ë¹³ 33 Ï) read “your Son also” (καὶ ὁ υἱὸς σου, kai Jo Juio" sou), or “your Son” (ὁ υἱὸς σου; A D Θ 0250 1 579 pc lat sy); the second corrector of C has καὶ ὁ υἱός (“the Son also”). The longer readings appear to be predictable scribal expansions and as such should be considered secondary.

[17:1]  tn Grk “the Son”; “your” has been added here for English stylistic reasons.

[17:8]  ¹¹ tn Grk And they.” The conjunction καί (kai, “and”) has not been translated here in keeping with the tendency of contemporary English style to use shorter sentences.

[17:8]  ¹² tn Or “received.”

[17:8]  ¹³ tn The word “them” is not in the Greek text, but is implied. Direct objects were often omitted in Greek when clear from the context.

[17:8]  ¹⁴ tn Or “truly.”

[17:8]  ¹⁵ tn Or have come to know.”

[17:11]  ¹⁶ 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.

[17:11]  ¹⁷ tn The context indicates that this should be translated as an adversative or contrastive conjunction.

[17:11]  ¹⁸ tn Or “protect them”; Grk “keep them.”

[17:11]  ¹⁹ tn Or “by your name.”

[17:11]  ²⁰ tn The second repetition of “one” is implied, and is supplied here for clarity.

[17:12]  ²¹ tn Or “I protected them”; Grk “I kept them.”

[17:12]  ²² tn Grk “and guarded them.”

[17:12]  ²³ tn Or “by your name.”

[17:12]  ²⁴ tn Grk And not one.” The conjunction καί (kai, “and”) has not been translated here in keeping with the tendency of contemporary English style to use shorter sentences.

[17:12]  ²⁵ tn Grk “the son of destruction” (a Semitic idiom for one appointed for destruction; here it is a reference to Judas).

[17:12]  sn The one destined to destruction refers to Judas. Clearly in John’s Gospel Judas is portrayed as a tool of Satan. He is described as “the devil” in 6:70. In 13:2 Satan put into Judas’ heart the idea of betraying Jesus, and 13:27 Satan himself entered Judas. Immediately after this Judas left the company of Jesus and the other disciples and went out into the realm of darkness (13:30). Cf. 2 Thess 2:3, where this same Greek phrase (“the son of destruction”; see tn above) is used to describe the man through whom Satan acts to rebel against God in the last days.

[17:12]  ²⁶ sn A possible allusion to Ps 41:9 or Prov 24:22 LXX. The exact passage is not specified here, but in John 13:18, Ps 41:9 is explicitly quoted by Jesus with reference to the traitor, suggesting that this is the passage to which Jesus refers here. The previous mention of Ps 41:9 in John 13:18 probably explains why the author felt no need for an explanatory parenthetical note here. It is also possible that the passage referred to here is Prov 24:22 LXX, where in the Greek text the phrase “son of destruction” appears.

[17:14]  ²⁷ tn Or “your message.”

[17:14]  ²⁸ tn Grk “because they are not of the world.”

[17:14]  ²⁹ tn Grk “just as I am not of the world.”

[21:18]  ³⁰ tn Grk “Truly, truly, I say to you.”

[21:18]  ³¹ tn Or “you girded yourself.”

[21:18]  ³² tn Grk “others will gird you.”
