John 7:31

31 Yet many of the crowd ^{▼▼ Or “The common people” (as opposed to the religious authorities).} believed in him and said, “Whenever the Christ ^{▼▼ Or “the Messiah” (Both Greek “Christ” and Hebrew and Aramaic “Messiah” mean “one who has been anointed”).} ^{▼▼ See the note on Christ in 1:20.} comes, he won’t perform more miraculous signs than this man did, will he?” ^{▼▼ Questions prefaced with μή (mē) in Greek anticipate a negative answer. This can sometimes be indicated by using a “tag” at the end in English (here it is “will he?”).}
