Yohanes 10:31

10:31 The Jewish leaders ¹  picked up rocks again to stone him to death.

Yohanes 7:30

7:30 So then they tried to seize Jesus, ²  but no one laid a hand on him, because his time ³  had not yet come.

Yohanes 7:44

7:44 Some of them were wanting to seize him, but no one laid a hand on him. ⁴ 

Yohanes 8:59

8:59 Then they picked up ⁵  stones to throw at him, ⁶  but Jesus hid himself and went out from the temple area. ⁷ 

[10:31]  ¹ tn Or “the Jewish authorities”; Grk “the Jews.” Here the phrase refers to the Jewish leaders. See the notes on the phrases “Jewish people” in v. 19 and “Jewish leaders” in v. 24.

[7:30]  ² tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[7:30]  sn Here the response is on the part of the crowd, who tried to seize Jesus. This is apparently distinct from the attempted arrest by the authorities mentioned in 7:32.

[7:30]  ³ tn Grk “his hour.”

[7:44]  ⁴ sn Compare John 7:30 regarding the attempt to seize Jesus.

[8:59]  ⁵ tn Grk “they took up.”

[8:59]  ⁶ sn Jesus’ Jewish listeners understood his claim to deity, rejected it, and picked up stones to throw at him for what they considered blasphemy.

[8:59]  ⁷ tc Most later witnesses (A Θ^c Ë^1,13 Ï) have at the end of the verse “passing through their midst, he went away in this manner” (διελθὼν διὰ μέσου καὶ παρῆγεν οὕτως, dielqwn dia mesou kai parhgen {outw"), while many others have similar permutations (so א^1,2 C L N Ψ 070 33 579 892 1241 al). The wording is similar to two other texts: Luke 4:30 (διελθὼν διὰ μέσου; in several mss αὐτῶν ἐπορεύετο καί [autwn eporeueto kai] is found between this phrase and παρῆγεν, strengthening the parallel with Luke 4:30) and John 9:1 (παρῆγεν; cf. παράγων [paragwn] there). The effect is to signal Jesus’ departure as a miraculous cloaking. As such, the additional statement has all the earmarks of scribal amplification. Further, the best and earliest witnesses (Ì^66,75 א* B D W Θ* lat sa) lack these words, rendering the shorter text virtually certain.

[8:59]  tn Grk “from the temple.”
