Yohanes 1:26

1:26 John answered them, ¹  “I baptize with water. Among you stands one whom you do not recognize, ² 

Yohanes 9:6

9:6 Having said this, ³  he spat on the ground and made some mud ⁴  with the saliva. He ⁵  smeared the mud on the blind man’s ⁶  eyes

Yohanes 13:5

13:5 He poured water into the washbasin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to dry them with the towel he had wrapped around himself. ⁷ 

[1:26]  ¹ tn Grk “answered them, saying.” The participle λέγων (legwn) is redundant in contemporary English and has not been translated.

[1:26]  ² tn Or “know.”

[9:6]  ³ tn Grk “said these things.”

[9:6]  ⁴ tn Or “clay” (moistened earth of a clay-like consistency). The textual variant preserved in the Syriac text of Ephraem’s commentary on the Diatessaron (“he made eyes from his clay”) probably arose from the interpretation given by Irenaeus in Against Heresies: “that which the Artificer, the Word, had omitted to form in the womb, he then supplied in public.” This involves taking the clay as an allusion to Gen 2:7, which is very unlikely.

[9:6]  ⁵ tn Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, the conjunction καί (kai) was replaced by a third person pronoun and a new sentence started here in the translation.

[9:6]  ⁶ tn Grk “on his.”

[13:5]  ⁷ tn Grk “with the towel with which he was girded.”
