¹ tn Grk “who is of.”

² tn Grk “to God hears” (in the sense of listening to something and responding to it).

³ tn Grk “you do not hear” (in the sense of listening to something and responding to it).

⁴ tn Grk “you are not of God.”

⁵ tn Grk “He answered them.” The indirect object αὐτοῖς (autois) has not been translated for stylistic reasons.

⁶ tn Grk “you did not hear.”

⁷ tn “It” is not in the Greek text but has been supplied. Direct objects in Greek were often omitted when they were clearly implied in the context.

⁸ tn The word “people” is supplied in the translation to clarify the plural Greek pronoun and verb.

⁹ tn Grk “And I have.” Because of the difference between Greek style, which often begins sentences or clauses with “and,” and English style, which generally does not, καί (kai) has not been translated here.

¹⁰ tn Or “that do not belong to”; Grk “that are not of.”

¹¹ sn The statement I have other sheep that do not come from this sheepfold almost certainly refers to Gentiles. Jesus has sheep in the fold who are Jewish; there are other sheep which, while not of the same fold, belong to him also. This recalls the mission of the Son in 3:16-17, which was to save the world – not just the nation of Israel. Such an emphasis would be particularly appropriate to the author if he were writing to a non-Palestinian and primarily non-Jewish audience.

¹² tn Grk “they will hear my voice.”

¹³ tn Grk “voice, and.”

¹⁴ tn The word “and” is not in the Greek text, but must be supplied to conform to English style. In Greek it is an instance of asyndeton (omission of a connective), usually somewhat emphatic.

¹⁵ tn Grk “that you always hear me.”

¹⁶ tn The word “this” is not in the Greek text. Direct objects in Greek were often omitted when clear from the context.
