NET © Notes |
1 tn Or “made known,” “disclosed.” 2 tn Here “men” is retained as a translation for ἀνθρώποις (anqrwpoi") rather than the more generic “people” because in context it specifically refers to the eleven men Jesus had chosen as apostles (Judas had already departed, John 13:30). If one understands the referent here to be the broader group of Jesus’ followers that included both men and women, a translation like “to the people” should be used here instead. 3 tn Grk “Yours they were.” 4 tn Or “have kept.” |
