Translation commentary on John 11:32

In Greek this verse is one sentence, which Good News Translation makes into two sentences. Mary’s words to Jesus are the same as those of Martha in verse 21.

Quoted with permission from Newman, Barclay M. and Nida, Eugene A. A Handbook on the Gospel of John. (UBS Handbook Series). New York: UBS, 1980. For this and other handbooks for translators see here .
