Yohanes 1:43

The Calling of More Disciples

1:43 On the next day Jesus ¹  wanted to set out for Galilee. ²  He ³  found Philip and said ⁴  to him, “Follow me.”

Yohanes 9:35

The Man’s Response to Jesus

9:35 Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, so he found the man ⁵  and said to him, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?” ⁶ 

Yohanes 10:9

10:9 I am the door. If anyone enters through me, he will be saved, and will come in and go out, ⁷  and find pasture. ⁸ 

Yohanes 19:4

19:4 Again Pilate went out and said to the Jewish leaders, ⁹  “Look, I am bringing him out to you, so that you may know that I find no reason for an accusation ¹⁰  against him.”

[1:43]  ¹ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity. Jesus is best taken as the subject of εὑρίσκει (Jeuriskei), since Peter would scarcely have wanted to go to Galilee.

[1:43]  ² sn No explanation is given for why Jesus wanted to set out for Galilee, but probably he wanted to go to the wedding at Cana (about a two day trip).

[1:43]  ³ tn Grk “and he.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

[1:43]  ⁴ tn Grk “and Jesus said.”

[9:35]  ⁵ tn Grk “found him”; the referent (the man) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[9:35]  ⁶ tc Although most witnesses (A L Θ Ψ 070 0250 Ë^1,13 33 Ï lat) have θεοῦ (qeou, “of God”) instead of ἀνθρώπου (anqrwpou, “of man”) here, the better witnesses (Ì^66,75 א B D W sy^s) have ἀνθρώπου. Not only is the external evidence decidedly on the side of ἀνθρώπου, but it is difficult to see such early and diverse witnesses changing θεοῦ to ἀνθρώπου. The wording “Son of Man” is thus virtually certain.

[10:9]  ⁷ tn Since the Greek phrase εἰσέρχομαι καὶ ἐξέρχομαι (eisercomai kai exercomai, “come in and go out”) is in some places an idiom for living or conducting oneself in relationship to some community (“to live with, to live among” [cf. Acts 1:21; see also Num 27:17; 2 Chr 1:10]), it may well be that Jesus’ words here look forward to the new covenant community of believers. Another significant NT text is Luke 9:4, where both these verbs occur in the context of the safety and security provided by a given household for the disciples. See also BDAG 294 s.v. εἰσέρχομαι 1.b.β.

[10:9]  ⁸ sn That is, pasture land in contrast to cultivated land.

[19:4]  ⁹ tn Grk “to them.” The words “the Jewish leaders” are supplied from John 18:38 for clarity.

[19:4]  ¹⁰ tn Or “find no basis for an accusation”; Grk “find no cause.”
