[2:1]  ² sn Cana in Galilee was not a very well-known place. It is mentioned only here, in 4:46, and 21:2, and nowhere else in the NT. Josephus (Life 16 [86]) says he once had his quarters there. The probable location is present day Khirbet Cana, 8 mi (14 km) north of Nazareth, or Khirbet Kenna, 4 mi (7 km) northeast of Nazareth.

[2:1]  ³ tn Grk “in Galilee, and Jesus’ mother.”

[8:51]  ⁴ tn Grk “Truly, truly, I say to you.”

[8:51]  ⁵ tn Grk “If anyone keeps.”

[8:51]  ⁶ tn Grk “my word.”

[8:51]  ⁷ tn Grk “he will never see death forever.” The Greek negative here is emphatic.

[8:51]  sn Those who keep Jesus’ words will not see death because they have already passed from death to life (cf. 5:24). In Johannine theology eternal life begins in the present rather than in the world to come.

[13:6]  ⁸ tn Grk “He”; the referent (Peter) is specified in the translation for clarity.

[13:6]  ⁹ tn Grk “do you wash” or “are you washing.”
