John 17:11

17:11 I ¹  am no longer in the world, but ²  they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them safe ³  in your name ⁴  that you have given me, so that they may be one just as we are one. ⁵ 

John 19:24

19:24 So the soldiers said to one another, “Let’s not tear it, but throw dice ⁶  to see who will get it.” ⁷  This took place ⁸  to fulfill the scripture that says, “They divided my garments among them, and for my clothing they threw dice.” ⁹  So the soldiers did these things.

¹ tn Grk And I.” The conjunction καί (kai, “and”) has not been translated here in keeping with the tendency of contemporary English style to use shorter sentences.

² tn The context indicates that this should be translated as an adversative or contrastive conjunction.

³ tn Or “protect them”; Grk “keep them.”

⁴ tn Or “by your name.”

⁵ tn The second repetition of “one” is implied, and is supplied here for clarity.

⁶ tn Grk “but choose by lot” (probably by using marked pebbles or broken pieces of pottery). A modern equivalent, “throw dice,” was chosen here because of its association with gambling.

⁷ tn Grk “to see whose it will be.”

⁸ tn The words “This took place” are not in the Greek text but are implied.

⁹ tn Grk “cast lots.” See the note on “throw dice” earlier in the verse.
