5:38 nor do you have his word residing in you, because you do not believe the one whom he sent.

John 7:1

7:1 After this⁵ Jesus traveled throughout Galilee.⁶ He⁷ stayed out of Judea⁸ because the Jewish leaders⁹ wanted¹⁰ to kill him.

John 7:7

7:7 The world cannot hate you, but it hates me, because I am testifying about it that its deeds are evil.

¹tn The word “people” is not in the Greek text, but is supplied to indicate that the Greek verb translated “worship” is second person plural and thus refers to more than the woman alone.

²tn Or “from the Judeans.” See the note on “Jew” in v. 9.

³tn Grk “him.”

⁴tn Grk “authority to judge.”

⁵sn Again, the transition is indicated by the imprecise temporal indicator After this. Clearly, though, the author has left out much of the events of Jesus’ ministry, because chap. 6 took place near the Passover (6:4). This would have been the Passover between winter/spring of a.d. 32, just one year before Jesus’ crucifixion (assuming a date of a.d. 33 for the crucifixion), or the Passover of winter/spring a.d. 29, assuming a date of a.d. 30 for the crucifixion.

⁶tn Grk “Jesus was traveling around in Galilee.”

⁷tn Grk “For he.” Here γάρ (gar, “for”) has not been translated.

⁸tn Grk “he did not want to travel around in Judea.”

⁹tn Or “the Jewish authorities”; Grk “the Jews.” In NT usage the term ᾿Ιουδαῖοι (Ioudaioi) may refer to the entire Jewish people, the residents of Jerusalem and surrounding territory, the authorities in Jerusalem, or merely those who were hostile to Jesus. (For further information see R. G. Bratcher, “‘The Jews’ in the Gospel of John,” BT 26 [1975]: 401-9.) Here the phrase should be restricted to the Jewish authorities or leaders who were Jesus’ primary opponents.

¹⁰tn Grk “were seeking.”

¹¹tn Grk “you cannot hear,” but this is not a reference to deafness, but rather hearing in the sense of listening to something and responding to it.

¹²tn Grk “my word.”

¹³tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

¹⁴tn Grk “That one.”

¹⁵tn Or “will honor me.”

¹⁶tn Or “he will take.”

¹⁷tn The words “what is mine” are not in the Greek text, but are implied. Direct objects were often omitted in Greek when clear from the context.

¹⁸tn Or “will announce it to you.”

¹⁹tc A number of early mss (א¹ B C* D L pc co) read πατρός (patros, “Father”) here instead of θεοῦ (qeou, “God”; found in Ì⁵ א*^,2 A C³ W Θ Ψ 33 Ë^1,13 Ï). Although externally πατρός has relatively strong support, it is evidently an assimilation to “I came from the Father” at the beginning of v. 28, or more generally to the consistent mention of God as Father throughout this chapter (πατήρ [pathr, “Father”] occurs eleven times in this chapter, while θεός [qeos, “God”] occurs only two other times [16:2, 30]).

²⁰sn The day of preparation was the day before the Sabbath when everything had to be prepared for it, as no work could be done on the Sabbath.

²¹sn The tomb was nearby. The Passover and the Sabbath would begin at 6 p.m., so those who had come to prepare and bury the body could not afford to waste time.
