Yohanes 9:22

9:22 (His parents said these things because they were afraid of the Jewish religious leaders. ¹  For the Jewish leaders had already agreed that anyone who confessed Jesus ²  to be the Christ ³  would be put out ⁴  of the synagogue. ⁵ 

Yohanes 11:57

11:57 (Now the chief priests and the Pharisees ⁶  had given orders that anyone who knew where Jesus ⁷  was should report it, so that they could arrest ⁸  him.) ⁹ 

Yohanes 14:22

14:22 “Lord,” Judas (not Judas Iscariot) ¹⁰  said, ¹¹  “what has happened that you are going to reveal ¹²  yourself to us and not to the world?”

[9:22]  ¹ tn Or “the Jewish religious authorities”; Grk “the Jews.” Twice in this verse the phrase refers to the Pharisees, mentioned by name in John 9:13, 15, 16. The second occurrence is shortened to “the Jewish leaders” for stylistic reasons. See the note on the phrase “the Jewish religious leaders” in v. 18.

[9:22]  ² tn Grk “confessed him.”

[9:22]  ³ tn Or “the Messiah” (Both Greek “Christ” and Hebrew and Aramaic “Messiah” mean “one who has been anointed”).

[9:22]  sn See the note on Christ in 1:20.

[9:22]  ⁴ tn Or “would be expelled from.”

[9:22]  ⁵ sn This reference to excommunication from the Jewish synagogue for those who had made some sort of confession about Jesus being the Messiah is dismissed as anachronistic by some (e.g., Barrett) and nonhistorical by others. In later Jewish practice there were at least two forms of excommunication: a temporary ban for thirty days, and a permanent ban. But whether these applied in NT times is far from certain. There is no substantial evidence for a formal ban on Christians until later than this Gospel could possibly have been written. This may be a reference to some form of excommunication adopted as a contingency to deal with those who were proclaiming Jesus to be the Messiah. If so, there is no other record of the procedure than here. It was probably local, limited to the area around Jerusalem. See also the note on synagogue in 6:59.

[11:57]  ⁶ 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.

[11:57]  ⁷ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[11:57]  ⁸ tn Or “could seize.”

[11:57]  ⁹ sn This is a parenthetical note by the author.

[14:22]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “(not Iscariot).” The proper noun (Judas) has been repeated for clarity and smoothness in English style.

[14:22]  sn This is a parenthetical comment by the author.

[14:22]  ¹¹ tn Grk “said to him.”

[14:22]  ¹² tn Or “disclose.”

[14:22]  sn The disciples still expected at this point that Jesus, as Messiah, was going to reveal his identity as such to the world (cf. 7:4).
