3:22 After this, ¹  Jesus and his disciples came into Judean territory, and there he spent time with them and was baptizing.

Yohanes 9:8

9:8 Then the neighbors and the people who had seen him previously ²  as a beggar began saying, ³  “Is this not the man ⁴  who used to sit and beg?”

[3:22]  ¹ tn This section is related loosely to the preceding by μετὰ ταῦτα (meta tauta). This constitutes an indefinite temporal reference; the intervening time is not specified.

[9:8]  ⁴ tn Grk “the one.”
