John 17:11

Context
17:11 I 1  am no longer in the world, but 2  they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them safe 3  in your name 4  that you have given me, so that they may be one just as we are one. 5 

John 20:25

Context
20:25 The other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he replied, 6  “Unless I see the wounds 7  from the nails in his hands, and put my finger into the wounds from the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will never believe it!” 8 

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

2 tn The context indicates that this should be translated as an adversative or contrastive conjunction.

3 tn Or “protect them”; Grk “keep them.”

4 tn Or “by your name.”

5 tn The second repetition of “one” is implied, and is supplied here for clarity.

6 tn Grk “but he said to them.”

7 tn Or “marks.”

8 tn The word “it” is not in the Greek text but is implied. Direct objects were often omitted in Greek when clear from the context. The use of “it” here as direct object of the verb πιστεύσω (pisteusw) specifies exactly what Thomas was refusing to believe: that Jesus had risen from the dead, as reported by his fellow disciples. Otherwise the English reader may be left with the impression Thomas was refusing to “believe in” Jesus, or “believe Jesus to be the Christ.” The dramatic tension in this narrative is heightened when Thomas, on seeing for himself the risen Christ, believes more than just the resurrection (see John 20:28).
