¹ sn Woman was a polite form of address (see BDAG 208-9 s.v. γυνή 1), similar to “Madam” or “Ma’am” used in English in different regions.

² tn Grk “an hour.”

³ tn The verb is plural.

⁴ tn The word “people” is not in the Greek text, but is supplied to clarify that the following verbs (“heard,” “seen,” “have residing,” “do not believe”) are second person plural.

⁵ sn You people have never heard his voice nor seen his form at any time. Compare Deut 4:12. Also see Deut 5:24 ff., where the Israelites begged to hear the voice no longer – their request (ironically) has by this time been granted. How ironic this would be if the feast is Pentecost, where by the 1st century a.d. the giving of the law at Sinai was being celebrated.

⁶ tn Or “embarked in the boats.”

⁷ map For location see Map1-D2; Map2-C3; Map3-B2.

¹⁰ tn Or “deeds”; Grk “works.”

¹¹ tn Or “manifested,” “brought to light.”

¹² tn Grk “in him.”
