Yohanes 1:17

1:17 For the law was given through Moses, but ¹  grace and truth came about through Jesus Christ.

Yohanes 3:7

3:7 Do not be amazed that I said to you, ‘You must all ²  be born from above.’ ³ 

Yohanes 11:12

11:12 Then the disciples replied, ⁴  “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.”

[1:17]  ¹ tn “But” is not in the Greek text, but has been supplied to indicate the implied contrast between the Mosaic law and grace through Jesus Christ. John 1:17 seems to indicate clearly that the Old Covenant (Sinai) was being contrasted with the New. In Jewish sources the Law was regarded as a gift from God (Josephus, Ant. 3.8.10 [3.223]; Pirqe Avot 1.1; Sifre Deut 31:4 §305). Further information can be found in T. F. Glasson, Moses in the Fourth Gospel (SBT).

[3:7]  ² tn “All” has been supplied to indicate the plural pronoun in the Greek text.

[3:7]  ³ tn Or “born again.” The same Greek word with the same double meaning occurs in v. 3.

[11:12]  ⁴ tn Grk “Then the disciples said to him.”
