Yohanes 6:40

6:40 For this is the will of my Father – for everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him to have eternal life, and I will raise him up ¹  at the last day.” ² 

Yohanes 6:44

6:44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, ³  and I will raise him up at the last day.

Yohanes 11:28

11:28 And when she had said this, Martha ⁴  went and called her sister Mary, saying privately, ⁵  “The Teacher is here and is asking for you.” ⁶ 

Yohanes 12:1

Jesus’ Anointing

12:1 Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus lived, whom he ⁷  had raised from the dead.

Yohanes 12:17

12:17 So the crowd who had been with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead were continuing to testify about it. ⁸ 

Yohanes 21:6

21:6 He told them, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” ⁹  So they threw the net, ¹⁰  and were not able to pull it in because of the large number of fish.

[6:40]  ¹ tn Or “resurrect him,” or “make him live again.”

[6:40]  ² sn Notice that here the result (having eternal life and being raised up at the last day) is produced by looking on the Son and believing in him. Compare John 6:54 where the same result is produced by eating Jesus’ flesh and drinking his blood. This suggests that the phrase in 6:54 (eats my flesh and drinks my blood) is to be understood in terms of the phrase here (looks on the Son and believes in him).

[6:44]  ³ tn Or “attracts him,” or “pulls him.” The word is used of pulling or dragging, often by force. It is even used once of magnetic attraction (A. Oepke, TDNT 2:503).

[6:44]  sn The Father who sent me draws him. The author never specifically explains what this “drawing” consists of. It is evidently some kind of attraction; whether it is binding and irresistible or not is not mentioned. But there does seem to be a parallel with 6:65, where Jesus says that no one is able to come to him unless the Father has allowed it. This apparently parallels the use of Isaiah by John to reflect the spiritual blindness of the Jewish leaders (see the quotations from Isaiah in John 9:41 and 12:39-40).

[11:28]  ⁴ tn Grk “she”; the referent (Martha) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[11:28]  ⁵ tn Or “in secret” (as opposed to publicly, so that the other mourners did not hear).

[11:28]  ⁶ tn Grk “is calling you.”

[12:1]  ⁷ tn Grk “whom Jesus,” but a repetition of the proper name (Jesus) here would be redundant in the English clause structure, so the pronoun (“he”) is substituted in the translation.

[12:17]  ⁸ tn The word “it” is not included in the Greek text. Direct objects in Greek were often omitted when clear from the context.

[21:6]  ⁹ tn The word “some” is not in the Greek text but is implied. Direct objects were often omitted in Greek when clear from the context.

[21:6]  ¹⁰ tn The words “the net” are not in the Greek text but are implied. Direct objects were often omitted in Greek when clear from the context.
