- John 2:24 The Greek term is masculine and thus refers to “all people” rather than “all things” (which would be neuter)
- John 2:25 Literally “have need that”
- John 2:25 Literally “should testify”
- John 2:25 *Here “man” has been retained rather than the generic “people” to maintain the connection with the following verse
