Yohanes 9:34

9:34 They replied, ¹  “You were born completely in sinfulness, ²  and yet you presume to teach us?” ³  So they threw him out.

Yohanes 16:24

16:24 Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive it, ⁴  so that your joy may be complete.

[9:34]  ¹ tn Grk “They answered and said to him.” This has been simplified in the translation to “They replied.”

[9:34]  ² tn Or “From birth you have been evil.” The implication of this insult, in the context of John 9, is that the man whom Jesus caused to see had not previously adhered rigorously to all the conventional requirements of the OT law as interpreted by the Pharisees. Thus he had no right to instruct them about who Jesus was.

[9:34]  ³ tn Grk “and are you teaching us?”

[16:24]  ⁴ tn The word “it” is not in the Greek text, but is implied. Direct objects were often omitted in Greek when clear from the context.
