# General Information:

Verse 71 is not part of the main storyline as John comments on what Jesus said. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/writing-background]])

# Did not I choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?

Jesus gives this remark in the form of a question to draw attention to the fact that one of the disciples will betray him. AT: "I chose you all myself, yet one of you is a servant of Satan!" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])
