1 tn Grk “who heard from John.”
2 tn Grk “him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
3 tn Following the arrival of the Samaritans, the imperfect verb has been translated as ingressive.
4 tn Because of the length of the Greek sentence and the sequencing with the following verse, the conjunction καί (kai) has not been translated here. Instead a new English sentence is begun.
5 tn Grk “that he”; the referent (Lazarus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
6 tn Grk “where they.” This is a continuation of the previous verse in Greek, but contemporary English style tends toward shorter sentences. A literal translation would result in a lengthy and awkward English sentence.
7 sn See the note on Crucify in 19:6.
8 tn Grk “and with him two others.”
9 sn The other disciple (the ‘beloved disciple’) ran on ahead more quickly than Peter, so he arrived at the tomb first. This verse has been a chief factor in depictions of John as a young man (especially combined with traditions that he wrote last of all the gospel authors and lived into the reign of Domitian). But the verse does not actually say anything about John’s age, nor is age always directly correlated with running speed.
10 tn Grk “and came first to the tomb.”
