Yohanes 6:14

6:14 Now when the people saw the miraculous sign that Jesus ¹  performed, they began to say to one another, “This is certainly the Prophet ²  who is to come into the world.” ³ 

Yohanes 10:41

10:41 Many ⁴  came to him and began to say, “John ⁵  performed ⁶  no miraculous sign, but everything John said about this man ⁷  was true!”

Yohanes 11:47

11:47 So the chief priests and the Pharisees ⁸  called the council ⁹  together and said, “What are we doing? For this man is performing many miraculous signs.

Yohanes 6:2

6:2 A large crowd was following him because they were observing the miraculous signs he was performing on the sick.

[6:14]  ¹ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[6:14]  ² sn The Prophet is a reference to the “prophet like Moses” of Deut 18:15, by this time an eschatological figure in popular belief.

[6:14]  ³ sn An allusion to Deut 18:15.

[10:41]  ⁴ tn Grk “And many.” Because of the difference between Greek style, which often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” and English style, which generally does not, καί (kai) has not been translated here.

[10:41]  ⁵ sn John refers to John the Baptist.

[10:41]  ⁶ tn Grk “did.”

[10:41]  ⁷ tn Grk “this one.”

[11:47]  ⁸ tn The phrase “chief priests and Pharisees” is a comprehensive name for the groups represented in the ruling council (the Sanhedrin) as in John 7:45; 18:3; Acts 5:22, 26.

[11:47]  ⁹ tn Or “Sanhedrin” (the Sanhedrin was the highest legal, legislative, and judicial body among the Jews). The συνέδριον (sunedrion) which they gathered was probably an informal meeting rather than the official Sanhedrin. This is the only occurrence of the word συνέδριον in the Gospel of John, and the only anarthrous singular use in the NT. There are other plural anarthrous uses which have the general meaning “councils.” The fact that Caiaphas in 11:49 is referred to as “one of them” supports the unofficial nature of the meeting; in the official Sanhedrin he, being high priest that year, would have presided over the assembly. Thus it appears that an informal council was called to discuss what to do about Jesus and his activities.
