¹ tn Grk “Jesus said to them.”

² tn Or “I came from God and have arrived.”

³ tn Grk “For I.” Here γάρ (gar) has not been translated.

⁴ tn Grk “from myself.”

⁵ tn Grk “that one” (referring to God).

⁶ tc 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]).
