Yohanes 16:4

16:4 But I have told you these things ¹  so that when their time ²  comes, you will remember that I told you about them. ³ 

“I did not tell you these things from the beginning because I was with you. ⁴ 

Yohanes 17:26

17:26 I made known your name to them, and I will continue to make it known, ⁵  so that the love you have loved me with may be in them, and I may be in them.”

Yohanes 18:36

18:36 Jesus replied, “My kingdom is not from this world. If my kingdom were from this world, my servants would be fighting to keep me from being ⁶  handed over ⁷  to the Jewish authorities. ⁸  But as it is, ⁹  my kingdom is not from here.”

[16:4]  ¹ tn The first half of v. 4 resumes the statement of 16:1, ταῦτα λελάληκα ὑμῖν (tauta lelalhka Jumin), in a somewhat more positive fashion, omitting the reference to the disciples being caused to stumble.

[16:4]  ² tn Grk “their hour.”

[16:4]  ³ tn The words “about them” are not in the Greek text, but are implied.

[16:4]  ⁴ sn This verse serves as a transition between the preceding discussion of the persecutions the disciples will face in the world after the departure of Jesus, and the following discussion concerning the departure of Jesus and the coming of the Spirit-Paraclete. Jesus had not told the disciples these things from the beginning because he was with them.

[17:26]  ⁵ tn The translation “will continue to make it known” is proposed by R. E. Brown (John [AB], 2:773).

[18:36]  ⁶ tn Grk “so that I may not be.”

[18:36]  ⁷ tn Or “delivered over.”

[18:36]  ⁸ tn Or “the Jewish leaders”; Grk “the Jews.” Here the phrase refers to the Jewish leaders, especially members of the Sanhedrin. See the note on the phrase “Jewish leaders” in v. 12. In the translation “authorities” was preferred over “leaders” for stylistic reasons.

[18:36]  ⁹ tn Grk “now.”
