¹ tn Or “forefathers”; Grk “fathers.”

² sn A quotation from Ps 78:24 (referring to the events of Exod 16:4-36).

³ tn Grk “gave you circumcision.”

⁴ tn Grk “a man.” While the text literally reads “circumcise a man” in actual fact the practice of circumcising male infants on the eighth day after birth (see Phil 3:5) is primarily what is in view here.

⁵ tn Grk And the glory.” The conjunction καί (kai, “and”) has not been translated here in keeping with the tendency of contemporary English style to use shorter sentences.

⁶ tn The words “He said this” are not in the Greek text, but are implied. There is an ellipsis in the Greek text that must be supplied for the modern English reader at this point.

⁷ sn This expression is similar to John 6:39 and John 17:12.

⁸ tn Grk “Of the ones whom you gave me, I did not lose one of them.” The order of the clauses has been rearranged to reflect contemporary English style.

sn This action of Jesus on behalf of his disciples is interpreted by the author as a fulfillment of Jesus’ own words: “I have not lost a single one of those whom you gave me.” Here it is Jesus’ own words, rather than the OT scriptures, which are quoted. This same formula will be used by the author again of Jesus’ words in 18:32, but the verb is used elsewhere in the Fourth Gospel to describe the NT fulfillment of OT passages (12:38, 13:18, 15:25, 17:12, 19:24, and 19:36). It is a bit difficult to determine the exact referent, since the words of Jesus quoted in this verse are not an exact reproduction of a saying of Jesus elsewhere in John’s Gospel. Although some have identified the saying with John 6:39, the closest parallel is in 17:12, where the betrayer, Judas, is specifically excluded. The words quoted here in 18:9 appear to be a free rendition of 17:12.

⁹ tn Grk “into the praetorium.”

¹⁰ tn Grk “Then when.” Here οὖν (oun) has not been translated for stylistic reasons.

¹¹ tn Or “It is accomplished,” “It is finished,” or “It is ended.” See tn on John 13:1.

¹² tn Or “he bowed his head and died”; Grk “he bowed his head and gave over the spirit.”
