Yohanes 4:19

4:19 The woman said to him, “Sir, I see ¹  that you are a prophet.

Yohanes 6:62

6:62 Then what if you see the Son of Man ascending where he was before? ² 

Yohanes 6:67

6:67 So Jesus said to the twelve, “You don’t want to go away too, do you?” ³ 

Yohanes 7:24

7:24 Do not judge according to external appearance, ⁴  but judge with proper ⁵  judgment.”

Yohanes 18:27

18:27 Then Peter denied it again, and immediately a rooster crowed. ⁶ 

[4:19]  ¹ tn Grk “behold” or “perceive,” but these are not as common in contemporary English usage.

[6:62]  ² tn Or “he was formerly?”

[6:67]  ³ tn Questions prefaced with μή (mh) in Greek anticipate a negative answer. This can sometimes be indicated by using a “tag” at the end in English (here it is “do you?”).

[7:24]  ⁴ tn Or “based on sight.”

[7:24]  ⁵ tn Or “honest”; Grk “righteous.”

[18:27]  ⁶ tn It seems most likely that this refers to a real rooster crowing, although a number of scholars have suggested that “cockcrow” is a technical term referring to the trumpet call which ended the third watch of the night (from midnight to 3 a.m.). This would then be a reference to the Roman gallicinium (ἀλεκτοροφωνία, alektorofwnia; the term is used in Mark 13:35 and is found in some mss [Ì^37vid,45 ˹] in Matt 26:34) which would have been sounded at 3 a.m.; in this case Jesus would have prophesied a precise time by which the denials would have taken place. For more details see J. H. Bernard, St. John (ICC), 2:604. However, in light of the fact that Mark mentions the rooster crowing twice (Mark 14:72) and in Luke 22:60 the words are reversed (ἐφώνησεν ἀλέκτωρ, efwnhsen alektwr), it is more probable that a real rooster is in view. In any event natural cockcrow would have occurred at approximately 3 a.m. in Palestine at this time of year (March-April) anyway.

[18:27]  sn No indication is given of Peter’s emotional state at this third denial (as in Matt 26:74 and Mark 14:71) or that he remembered that Jesus had foretold the denials (Matt 26:75, Mark 14:72 and Luke 22:61), or the bitter remorse Peter felt afterward (Matt 26:75, Mark 14:72, and Luke 22:62).
