Footnotes

  1. 67 A quotation from Isa 54:13.
  2. 68 Or “listens to the Father and learns.”
  3. 69 Grk “this one.”
  4. 70 This is best taken as a parenthetical note by the author. Although some would attribute these words to Jesus himself, the switch from first person in Jesus’ preceding and following remarks to third person in v. 46 suggests that the author has added a clarifying comment here.
  5. 71 Grk “Truly, truly, I say to you.”
  6. 72 Most witnesses (A C2 D Ψ f1, 13 33 𝔐 lat and other versions) have “in me” (εἰς ἐμέ, eis eme) here, while the Sinaitic and Curetonian versions read “in God.” These clarifying readings are predictable variants, being motivated by the scribal tendency toward greater explicitness. That the earliest and best witnesses (𝔓66, 75vid א B C* L T W Θ 892 ) lack any object is solid testimony to the shorter text’s authenticity.
  7. 73 Compare John 6:40.
