Yohanes 8:57

8:57 Then the Judeans ¹  replied, ²  “You are not yet fifty years old! ³  Have ⁴  you seen Abraham?”

Yohanes 9:37

9:37 Jesus told him, “You have seen him; he ⁵  is the one speaking with you.” ⁶ 

Yohanes 19:33

19:33 But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.

[8:57]  ¹ tn Grk “Then the Jews.” See the note on this term in v. 31. Here, as in vv. 31, 48, and 52, the phrase refers to the Jewish people in Jerusalem (“Judeans”; cf. BDAG 479 s.v. ᾿Ιουδαῖος 2.e) who had been listening to Jesus’ teaching in the temple courts (8:20) and had initially believed his claim to be the Messiah (cf. 8:31). They have now become completely hostile, as John 8:59 clearly shows.

[8:57]  ² tn Grk “said to him.”

[8:57]  ³ tn Grk ‘You do not yet have fifty years” (an idiom).

[8:57]  ⁴ tn Grk “And have.”

[9:37]  ⁵ tn Grk “that one.”

[9:37]  ⁶ 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.
