Editorial Comments in the Gospel of John (view source)
Revision as of 17:38, April 5, 2026
, April 5→John 20:9
{{cquote|<sup>43</sup> After the two days he departed for Galilee. <sup>44</sup> (For Jesus himself had testified that a prophet has no honor in his own hometown.) <sup>45</sup> So when he came to Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him, having seen all that he had done in Jerusalem at the feast. For they too had gone to the feast.}}

== John 7:39 ==
{{bibleref|John|7|39}} appears to be an explanatory aside:
{{cquote|Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive, for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.}}
=={{bibleref|John|12|4-6}} contains two Asides==

{{cquote|<sup>4</sup> But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples (he who was about to betray him), said, <sup>5</sup> “Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?” <sup>6</sup> He said this, not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief, and having charge of the moneybag he used to help himself to what was put into it.}}

::ANALYSIS: the particular Greek term for "moneybag" used here is used in only other place in the entire [[Bible]]: in another John Aside.

== John 12:14-16==
The [[Gospel of John]] does not ordinarily include the "just as it is written" type of references to the [[Old Testament]].<ref>The only other occurrence in the Gospel of John is at {{bibleref|John|6|31}}.</ref> Beginning with that phrase the following is potentially a later insertion that is different from [[John]]'s style, at {{bibleref|John|12|14-16}}:
{{cquote|<sup>14</sup> And Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, just as it is written,
<sup>15</sup> “Fear not, daughter of Zion;
behold, your king is coming,
:sitting on a donkey's colt!”
<sup>16</sup> His disciples did not understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written about him and had been done to him.<ref>[[ESV]].</ref>}}
== John 20:9 ==
John 20:9 does not fit with the first half of the sentence, which is itself a complete sentence and separately marked as verse 8. John 20:9 even tends to dilute or contradict what precedes it:
{{cquote|<sup>8</sup> Then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed; <sup>9</sup> for as yet they did not understand the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead.<ref>Quoting [[ESV]].</ref>}}
John 20:9 also places an emphasis on [[Scripture]] that is uncharacteristic of the [[Gospel of John]], which contains relatively few quotes of the [[Old Testament]].

Some or all of the editorial comments could have been added later by scribes or church leaders desiring, for example, more explanation or additional references to the [[Old Testament]].
