[6:52]  ¹ tn Grk “Then the Jews began to argue.” Here the translation restricts the phrase to those Jews who were hostile to Jesus (cf. BDAG 479 s.v. ᾿Ιουδαῖος 2.e.β), since the “crowd” mentioned in 6:22-24 was almost all Jewish (as suggested by their addressing Jesus as “Rabbi” (6:25). See also the note on the phrase “the Jews who were hostile to Jesus” in v. 41.

[6:52]  ² tn Grk “with one another, saying.”

[6:52]  ³ tn Grk “this one,” “this person.”

[7:19]  ⁴ tn Or “accomplishes”; Grk “does.”

[7:19]  ⁵ tn Grk “seek.”

[10:10]  ⁶ tn That is, “to slaughter” (in reference to animals).

[10:10]  ⁷ tn That is, more than one would normally expect or anticipate.

[10:28]  ⁸ tn Grk “And I give.”

[10:28]  ⁹ tn Or “will never die” or “will never be lost.”

[10:28]  ¹⁰ tn Or “no one will seize.”

[11:25]  ¹¹ tn That is, will come to life.

[11:57]  ¹² tn The phrase “chief priests and Pharisees” is a comprehensive name for the groups represented in the ruling council (the Sanhedrin) as in John 7:45; 18:3; Acts 5:22, 26.

[11:57]  ¹³ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[11:57]  ¹⁴ tn Or “could seize.”

[11:57]  ¹⁵ sn This is a parenthetical note by the author.

[13:34]  ¹⁶ tn The ἵνα (Jina) clause gives the content of the commandment. This is indicated by a dash in the translation.

[13:34]  ¹⁷ sn The idea that love is a commandment is interesting. In the OT the ten commandments have a setting in the covenant between God and Israel at Sinai; they were the stipulations that Israel had to observe if the nation were to be God’s chosen people. In speaking of love as the new commandment for those whom Jesus had chosen as his own (John 13:1, 15:16) and as a mark by which they could be distinguished from others (13:35), John shows that he is thinking of this scene in covenant terminology. But note that the disciples are to love “Just as I have loved you” (13:34). The love Jesus has for his followers cannot be duplicated by them in one sense, because it effects their salvation, since he lays down his life for them: It is an act of love that gives life to people. But in another sense, they can follow his example (recall to the end, 13:1; also 1 John 3:16, 4:16 and the interpretation of Jesus’ washing of the disciples’ feet). In this way Jesus’ disciples are to love one another: They are to follow his example of sacrificial service to one another, to death if necessary.
