Yohanes 7:23
Konteks7:23 But if a male child 1 is circumcised 2 on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses is not broken, 3 why are you angry with me because I made a man completely well 4 on the Sabbath?
Yohanes 12:26
Konteks12:26 If anyone wants to serve me, he must follow 5 me, and where I am, my servant will be too. 6 If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.
Yohanes 16:5
Konteks16:5 But now I am going to the one who sent me, 7 and not one of you is asking me, ‘Where are you going?’ 8
[7:23] 1 tn Grk “a man.” See the note on “male child” in the previous verse.
[7:23] 2 tn Grk “receives circumcision.”
[7:23] 3 sn If a male child is circumcised on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses is not broken. The Rabbis counted 248 parts to a man’s body. In the Talmud (b. Yoma 85b) R. Eleazar ben Azariah (ca.
[7:23] 4 tn Or “made an entire man well.”
[12:26] 5 tn As a third person imperative in Greek, ἀκολουθείτω (akolouqeitw) is usually translated “let him follow me.” This could be understood by the modern English reader as merely permissive, however (“he may follow me if he wishes”). In this context there is no permissive sense, but rather a command, so the translation “he must follow me” is preferred.
[12:26] 6 tn Grk “where I am, there my servant will be too.”
[16:5] 7 sn Now the theme of Jesus’ impending departure is resumed (I am going to the one who sent me). It will also be mentioned in 16:10, 17, and 28. Jesus had said to his opponents in 7:33 that he was going to the one who sent him; in 13:33 he had spoken of going where the disciples could not come. At that point Peter had inquired where he was going, but it appears that Peter did not understand Jesus’ reply at that time and did not persist in further questioning. In 14:5 Thomas had asked Jesus where he was going.
[16:5] 8 sn Now none of the disciples asks Jesus where he is going, and the reason is given in the following verse: They have been overcome with sadness as a result of the predictions of coming persecution that Jesus has just spoken to them in 15:18-25 and 16:1-4a. Their shock at Jesus’ revelation of coming persecution is so great that none of them thinks to ask him where it is that he is going.
