Yohanes 2:11

2:11 Jesus did this as the first of his miraculous signs, ¹  in Cana ²  of Galilee. In this way he revealed ³  his glory, and his disciples believed in him. ⁴ 

Yohanes 11:33

11:33 When Jesus saw her weeping, and the people ⁵  who had come with her weeping, he was intensely moved ⁶  in spirit and greatly distressed. ⁷ 

Yohanes 14:20

14:20 You will know at that time ⁸  that I am in my Father and you are in me and I am in you.

Yohanes 14:30

14:30 I will not speak with you much longer, ⁹  for the ruler of this world is coming. ¹⁰  He has no power over me, ¹¹ 

Yohanes 20:26

20:26 Eight days later the disciples were again together in the house, ¹²  and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were locked, ¹³  Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!”

[2:11]  ¹ tn This sentence in Greek involves an object-complement construction. The force can be either “Jesus did this as,” or possibly “Jesus made this to be.” The latter translation accents not only Jesus’ power but his sovereignty too. Cf. also 4:54 where the same construction occurs.

[2:11]  ³ tn Grk “in Cana of Galilee, and he revealed.”

[2:11]  ⁴ tn Or “his disciples trusted in him,” or “his disciples put their faith in him.”

[11:33]  ⁵ tn Or “the Judeans”; Grk “the Jews.” Here the phrase refers to the friends, acquaintances, and relatives of Lazarus or his sisters who had come to mourn, since the Jewish religious authorities are specifically mentioned as a separate group in John 11:46-47. See also the notes on the phrase “the Jewish leaders” in v. 8, “the Jewish people of the region” in v. 19, and the word “people” in v. 31.

[11:33]  ⁶ tn Or (perhaps) “he was deeply indignant.” The verb ἐνεβριμήσατο (enebrimhsato), which is repeated in John 11:38, indicates a strong display of emotion, somewhat difficult to translate – “shuddered, moved with the deepest emotions.” In the LXX, the verb and its cognates are used to describe a display of indignation (Dan 11:30, for example – see also Mark 14:5). Jesus displayed this reaction to the afflicted in Mark 1:43, Matt 9:30. Was he angry at the afflicted? No, but he was angry because he found himself face-to-face with the manifestations of Satan’s kingdom of evil. Here, the realm of Satan was represented by death.

[11:33]  ⁷ tn Or “greatly troubled.” The verb ταράσσω (tarassw) also occurs in similar contexts to those of ἐνεβριμήσατο (enebrimhsato). John uses it in 14:1 and 27 to describe the reaction of the disciples to the imminent death of Jesus, and in 13:21 the verb describes how Jesus reacted to the thought of being betrayed by Judas, into whose heart Satan had entered.

[14:20]  ⁸ tn Grk “will know in that day.”

[14:20]  sn At that time could be a reference to the parousia (second coming of Christ). But the statement in 14:19, that the world will not see Jesus, does not fit. It is better to take this as the postresurrection appearances of Jesus to his disciples (which has the advantage of taking in a little while in v. 19 literally).

[14:30]  ⁹ tn Grk “I will no longer speak many things with you.”

[14:30]  ¹⁰ sn The ruler of this world is a reference to Satan.

[14:30]  ¹¹ tn Grk “in me he has nothing.”

[20:26]  ¹² tn Grk “were inside”; the word “together” is implied.

[20:26]  ¹³ tn Grk “the doors were shut”; “locked” conveys a more appropriate idea for the modern English reader.

[20:26]  sn See the note on the phrase locked the doors in 20:19.
