| (0.30) | (Joh 18:25) | 3 tn Grk “That one denied it and said”; the referent of the pronoun (Peter) has been specified in the translation for clarity. |
| (0.30) | (Joh 17:12) | 4 tn Grk And not one.” The conjunction καί (kai, “and”) has not been translated here in keeping with the tendency of contemporary English style to use shorter sentences. |
| (0.30) | (Joh 13:10) | 5 tn The word “disciples” is supplied in English to clarify the plural Greek pronoun and verb. Peter is not the only one Jesus is addressing here. |
| (0.30) | (Joh 11:37) | 2 tn Grk “this one”; the second half of 11:37 reads Grk “Could not this one who opened the eyes of the blind have done something to keep this one from dying?” In the Greek text the repetition of “this one” in 11:37b referring to two different persons (first Jesus, second Lazarus) could confuse a modern reader. Thus the first reference, to Jesus, has been translated as “he” to refer back to the beginning of v. 37, where the reference to “the man who caused the blind man to see” is clearly a reference to Jesus. The second reference, to Lazarus, has been specified (“Lazarus”) in the translation for clarity. |

| (0.30) | (Luk 23:51) | 1 tn Grk “This one.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started in the translation at this point. |
