Yohanes 6:14

6:14 Now when the people saw the miraculous sign that Jesus ¹  performed, they began to say to one another, “This is certainly the Prophet ²  who is to come into the world.” ³ 

Yohanes 8:22

8:22 So the Jewish leaders ⁴  began to say, ⁵  “Perhaps he is going to kill himself, because he says, ‘Where I am going you cannot come.’”

Yohanes 11:48

11:48 If we allow him to go on in this way, ⁶  everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away our sanctuary ⁷  and our nation.”

Yohanes 19:4

19:4 Again Pilate went out and said to the Jewish leaders, ⁸  “Look, I am bringing him out to you, so that you may know that I find no reason for an accusation ⁹  against him.”

[6:14]  ¹ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[6:14]  ² sn The Prophet is a reference to the “prophet like Moses” of Deut 18:15, by this time an eschatological figure in popular belief.

[6:14]  ³ sn An allusion to Deut 18:15.

[8:22]  ⁴ tn Or “the Jewish authorities”; Grk “the Jews.” In NT usage the term ᾿Ιουδαῖοι (Ioudaioi) may refer to the entire Jewish people, the residents of Jerusalem and surrounding territory, the authorities in Jerusalem, or merely those who were hostile to Jesus. (For further information see R. G. Bratcher, “‘The Jews’ in the Gospel of John,” BT 26 [1975]: 401-9.) Here the phrase refers to the Jewish authorities or leaders in Jerusalem. It was the Pharisees who had begun this line of questioning in John 8:13, and there has been no clear change since then in the identity of Jesus’ opponents.

[8:22]  ⁵ tn The imperfect verb has been translated with ingressive force (“began to say”) because the comments that follow were occasioned by Jesus’ remarks in the preceding verse about his upcoming departure.

[11:48]  ⁶ tn Grk “If we let him do thus.”

[11:48]  ⁷ tn Or “holy place”; Grk “our place” (a reference to the temple in Jerusalem).

[19:4]  ⁸ tn Grk “to them.” The words “the Jewish leaders” are supplied from John 18:38 for clarity.

[19:4]  ⁹ tn Or “find no basis for an accusation”; Grk “find no cause.”
