Footnotes

1. John 20:18 tn The words “she told them” are repeated from the first part of the same verse to improve clarity.
2. John 20:18 tn Grk “the things.”
3. John 20:18 tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) is specified in the translation for clarity.
4. John 20:18 tn The first part of Mary’s statement, introduced by ὅτι (hoti), is direct discourse (ἑώρακα τὸν κύριον, heōraka ton kurion), while the second clause switches to indirect discourse (καὶ ταῦτα εἶπεν αὐτῇ, kai tauta eipen autē). This has the effect of heightening the emphasis on the first part of the statement.
