John 5:7

The sick man answered him, “Sir, ¹  I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up. While I am trying to get into the water, ²  someone else ³  goes down there ⁴  before me.”

De 32:36; Ps 72:12; Ps 142:4; Joh 5:4; Ro 5:6; 1Co 9:24; 2Co 1:8-10

¹ tn Or “Lord.” The Greek κύριος (kurios) means both “Sir” and “Lord.” In this passage the paralytic who was healed by Jesus never acknowledges Jesus as Lord – he rather reports Jesus to the authorities.

² tn Grk “while I am going.”

³ tn Grk “another.”

⁴ tn The word “there” is not in the Greek text but is implied.
