Yohanes 3:8

3:8 The wind ¹  blows wherever it will, and you hear the sound it makes, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.” ² 

Yohanes 21:16

21:16 Jesus ³  said ⁴  a second time, “Simon, son of John, do you love me?” He replied, ⁵  “Yes, Lord, you know I love you.” Jesus ⁶  told him, “Shepherd my sheep.”

[3:8]  ¹ tn The same Greek word, πνεύματος (pneumatos), may be translated “wind” or “spirit.”

[3:8]  ² sn Again, the physical illustrates the spiritual, although the force is heightened by the word-play here on wind-spirit (see the note on wind at the beginning of this verse). By the end of the verse, however, the final usage of πνεύματος (pneumatos) refers to the Holy Spirit.

[21:16]  ³ tn Grk “He”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[21:16]  ⁴ tn Grk “said again.” The word “again” (when used in connection with the phrase “a second time”) is redundant and has not been translated.

[21:16]  ⁵ tn Grk “He said to him.”

[21:16]  ⁶ tn Grk “He”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
