Footnotes

  1. 49 That is, will come to life.
  2. 50 Grk “will never die forever.”
  3. 51 Grk “She said to him.”
  4. 52 The perfect tense in Greek is often used to emphasize the results or present state of a past action. Such is the case here. To emphasize this nuance the perfect tense verb πεπίστευκα (pepisteuka) has been translated as a present tense. This is in keeping with the present context, where Jesus asks of her present state of belief in v. 26, and the theology of the Gospel as a whole, which emphasizes the continuing effects and present reality of faith. For discussion on this use of the perfect tense, see and B. M. Fanning, Verbal Aspect, 291–97.
  5. 53 Or “the Messiah” (Both Greek “Christ” and Hebrew and Aramaic “Messiah” mean “one who has been anointed”). See the note on Christ in .
  6. 54 Or “the Son of God, the one who comes into the world.”
