Footnotes

  1. John 11:52 tn See the note on the word “nation” in the previous verse.
  2. John 11:52 sn The author in his comment expands the prophecy to include the Gentiles (not for the Jewish nation only), a confirmation that the Fourth Gospel was directed, at least partly, to a Gentile audience.

  3. John 11:52 tn Grk “that he might gather together.”
  4. John 11:52 sn This is a parenthetical note by the author.
