Discovery BoxJohn 4:38 
Context4:38 I sent you to reap what you did not work for; others have labored and you have entered into their labor.”
John 11:30
Context11:30 (Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was still in the place where Martha had come out to meet him.)
John 13:27
Context13:27 And after Judas 1 took the piece of bread, Satan entered into him. 2 Jesus said to him, 3 “What you are about to do, do quickly.”
John 16:28
Context16:28 I came from the Father and entered into the world, but in turn, 4 I am leaving the world and going back to the Father.” 5
1 tn Grk “he”; the referent (Judas) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
2 tn Grk “into that one”; the pronoun “he” is more natural English style here.
sn This is the only time in the Fourth Gospel that Satan is mentioned by name. Luke 22:3 uses the same terminology of Satan “entering into” Judas but indicates it happened before the last supper at the time Judas made his deal with the authorities. This is not necessarily irreconcilable with John’s account, however, because John 13:2 makes it clear that Judas had already come under satanic influence prior to the meal itself. The statement here is probably meant to indicate that Judas at this point came under the influence of Satan even more completely and finally. It marks the end of a process which, as Luke indicates, had begun earlier.
3 tn Grk “Then Jesus said to him.”
4 tn Or “into the world; again.” Here πάλιν (palin) functions as a marker of contrast, with the implication of a sequence.
5 sn The statement I am leaving the world and going to the Father is a summary of the entire Gospel of John. It summarizes the earthly career of the Word made flesh, Jesus of Nazareth, on his mission from the Father to be the Savior of the world, beginning with his entry into the world as he came forth from God and concluding with his departure from the world as he returned to the Father.
