Yohanes 3:20

3:20 For everyone who does evil deeds hates the light and does not come to the light, so that their deeds will not be exposed.

Yohanes 6:35

6:35 Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. The one who comes to me will never go hungry, and the one who believes in me will never be thirsty. ¹ 

Yohanes 8:23

8:23 Jesus replied, ²  “You people ³  are from below; I am from above. You people are from this world; I am not from this world.

Yohanes 9:24

9:24 Then they summoned ⁴  the man who used to be blind ⁵  a second time and said to him, “Promise before God to tell the truth. ⁶  We know that this man ⁷  is a sinner.”

Yohanes 19:29

19:29 A jar full of sour wine ⁸  was there, so they put a sponge soaked in sour wine on a branch of hyssop ⁹  and lifted it ¹⁰  to his mouth.

[6:35]  ¹ tn Grk “the one who believes in me will not possibly thirst, ever.”

[6:35]  sn The one who believes in me will never be thirsty. Note the parallelism between “coming to Jesus” in the first part of v. 35 and “believing in Jesus” in the second part of v. 35. For the author of the Gospel of John these terms are virtually equivalent, both referring to a positive response to Jesus (see John 3:17-21).

[8:23]  ² tn Grk “And he said to them.”

[8:23]  ³ tn The word “people” is supplied in English to clarify the plural Greek pronoun and verb.

[9:24]  ⁴ tn Grk “they called.”

[9:24]  ⁵ tn Grk “who was blind.”

[9:24]  ⁶ tn Grk “Give glory to God” (an idiomatic formula used in placing someone under oath to tell the truth).

[9:24]  ⁷ tn The phrase “this man” is a reference to Jesus.

[19:29]  ⁸ sn The cheap sour wine was called in Latin posca, and referred to a cheap vinegar wine diluted heavily with water. It was the drink of slaves and soldiers, and was probably there for the soldiers who had performed the crucifixion.

[19:29]  ⁹ sn Hyssop was a small aromatic bush; exact identification of the plant is uncertain. The hyssop used to lift the wet sponge may have been a form of reed (κάλαμος, kalamo", “reed,” is used in Matt 27:48 and Mark 15:36); the biblical name can refer to several different species of plant (at least eighteen different plants have been suggested).

[19:29]  ¹⁰ tn Or “and brought it.”
