Yohanes 6:27

6:27 Do not work for the food that disappears, ¹  but for the food that remains to eternal life – the food ²  which the Son of Man will give to you. For God the Father has put his seal of approval on him.” ³ 

Yohanes 9:11

9:11 He replied, ⁴  “The man called Jesus made mud, ⁵  smeared it ⁶  on my eyes and told me, ⁷  ‘Go to Siloam and wash.’ So I went and washed, and was able to see.” ⁸ 

[6:27]  ¹ tn Or “perishes” (this might refer to spoiling, but is more focused on the temporary nature of this kind of food).

[6:27]  sn Do not work for the food that disappears. Note the wordplay on “work” here. This does not imply “working” for salvation, since the “work” is later explained (in John 6:29) as “to believe in the one whom he (the Father) sent.”

[6:27]  ² tn The referent (the food) has been specified for clarity by repeating the word “food” from the previous clause.

[6:27]  ³ tn Grk “on this one.”

[9:11]  ⁴ tn Grk “That one answered.”

[9:11]  ⁵ tn Or “clay” (moistened earth of a clay-like consistency).

[9:11]  ⁶ tn Grk “and smeared.” Direct objects in Greek were often omitted when obvious from the context.

[9:11]  ⁷ tn Grk “said to me.”

[9:11]  ⁸ tn Or “and I gained my sight.”
