John 7:17

7:17 If anyone wants to do God’s will, 1  he will know about my teaching, whether it is from God or whether I speak from my own authority. 2 

John 12:49

12:49 For I have not spoken from my own authority, 3  but the Father himself who sent me has commanded me 4  what I should say and what I should speak.

John 17:2

17:2 just as you have given him authority over all humanity, 5  so that he may give eternal life to everyone you have given him. 6 

John 19:10

19:10 So Pilate said, 7  “Do you refuse to speak to me? Don’t you know I have the authority 8  to release you, and to crucify you?” 9 

1 tn Grk “his will.”

2 tn Grk “or whether I speak from myself.”

3 tn Grk “I have not spoken from myself.”

4 tn Grk “has given me commandment.”

5 tn Or “all people”; Grk “all flesh.”

6 tn Grk “so that to everyone whom you have given to him, he may give to them eternal life.”

7 tn Grk “said to him.” The words “to him” are not translated because they are unnecessary in contemporary English style.

8 tn Or “the power.”

9 tn Grk “know that I have the authority to release you and the authority to crucify you.” Repetition of “the authority” is unnecessarily redundant English style.

sn See the note on Crucify in 19:6.
