[7:48]  ¹ sn The chief priests and Pharisees (John 7:45) is a comprehensive term for the groups represented in the ruling council (the Sanhedrin) as in John 7:45; 18:3; Acts 5:22, 26. Likewise the term ruler here denotes a member of the Sanhedrin, the highest legal, legislative, and judicial body among the Jews. Note the same word (“ruler”) is used to describe Nicodemus in John 3:1, and Nicodemus also speaks up in this episode (John 7:50).

[7:48]  ² tn Questions prefaced with μή (mh) in Greek anticipate a negative answer. This can sometimes be indicated by using a “tag” at the end in English (here the tag is “have they?”).

[8:13]  ³ sn See the note on Pharisees in 1:24.

[8:13]  ⁴ tn Grk “Then the Pharisees said to him.”

[8:13]  ⁵ sn Compare the charge You testify about yourself; your testimony is not true! to Jesus’ own statement about his testimony in 5:31.

[9:37]  ⁶ tn Grk “that one.”

[9:37]  ⁷ tn The καί – καί (kai – kai) construction would normally be translated “both – and”: “You have both seen him, and he is the one speaking with you.” In this instance the English semicolon was used instead because it produces a smoother and more emphatic effect in English.

[10:8]  ⁸ tn Grk “are” (present tense).

[10:8]  ⁹ tn Or “the sheep did not hear them.”

[11:3]  ¹⁰ tn The phrase “a message” is not in the Greek text but is implied. Direct objects in Greek were often omitted when clear from context.

[11:3]  ¹¹ tn Grk “to him, saying”; the referent (Jesus) is specified in the translation for clarity.

[13:11]  ¹² tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[13:11]  ¹³ tn Grk “Not all of you are.”
