| (0.60) | (Joh 18:21) | 1 tn Grk “Ask those who heard what I said to them.” The words “to them” are not translated since they are redundant in English. |
| (0.60) | (Joh 18:17) | 1 tn Grk “slave girl.” Since the descriptive term “slave girl” was introduced in the translation in the previous verse, it would be redundant to repeat the full expression here. |
| (0.60) | (Joh 14:26) | 2 tn Grk “that one will teach you.” The words “that one” have been omitted from the translation since they are redundant in English. |
| (0.60) | (Joh 2:24) | 1 tn Grk “all.” The word “people” has been supplied for clarity, since the Greek word πάντας (pantas) is masculine plural (thus indicating people rather than things). |
