Yohanes 4:18

4:18 for you have had five husbands, and the man you are living with ¹  now is not your husband. This you said truthfully!”

Yohanes 6:56

6:56 The one who eats ²  my flesh and drinks my blood resides in me, and I in him. ³ 

Yohanes 10:17

10:17 This is why the Father loves me ⁴  – because I lay down my life, ⁵  so that I may take it back again.

Yohanes 15:9

15:9 “Just as the Father has loved me, I have also loved you; remain ⁶  in my love.

[4:18]  ¹ tn Grk “the one you have.”

[6:56]  ² tn Or “who chews.” On the alternation between ἐσθίω (esqiw, “eat,” v. 53) and τρώγω (trwgw, “eats,” vv. 54, 56, 58; “consumes,” v. 57) see the note on “eats” in v. 54.

[6:56]  ³ sn Resides in me, and I in him. Note how in John 6:54 eating Jesus’ flesh and drinking his blood produces eternal life and the promise of resurrection at the last day. Here the same process of eating Jesus’ flesh and drinking his blood leads to a relationship of mutual indwelling (resides in me, and I in him). This suggests strongly that for the author (and for Jesus) the concepts of ‘possessing eternal life’ and of ‘residing in Jesus’ are virtually interchangeable.

[10:17]  ⁴ tn Grk “Because of this the Father loves me.”

[10:17]  ⁵ tn Or “die willingly.”

[15:9]  ⁶ tn Or “reside.”
