Many other signs also did Jesus in the sight of his disciples, which are not written in this book.

Many other signs therefore also Jesus did before his disciples, which are not written in this book;

There were also a great number of other signs which Jesus performed in the presence of the disciples, which are not recorded in this book.

A number of other signs Jesus did before his disciples which are not recorded in this book:

Jesus also accomplished many other signs in the sight of his disciples. These have not been written in this book.

There were many other signs of his mission that Jesus gave in presence of the disciples, which are not recorded in this book;

Many other signs also Jesus did. If the Evangelist had not cautioned his readers by this observation, they might have supposed that he had left out none of the miracles which Christ had performed, and had given a full and complete account of all that happened. John, therefore, testifies, first, that he has only related some things out of a large number; not that the others were unworthy of being recorded, but because these were sufficient to edify faith. And yet it does not follow that they were performed in vain, for they profited that age. Secondly, though at the present day we have not a minute knowledge of them, still we must not suppose it to be of little importance for us to know that the Gospel was sealed by a vast number of miracles.

Other signs - Other miracles. Many were recorded by the other evangelists, and many which he performed were never recorded, John 21:25.

Many other signs truly did Jesus, etc. - That is, besides the two mentioned here. John 20:19, John 20:26, viz. Christ's entering into the house in a miraculous manner twice, notwithstanding the doors were fast shut: see on John 20:19 (note). The other miracles which our Lord did, and which are not related here, were such as were necessary to the disciples only, and therefore not revealed to mankind at large. There is nothing in the whole revelation of God but what is for some important purpose, and there is nothing left out that could have been of any real use.

(9) And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book:
(9) To believe in Christ, the Son of God and our only saviour, is the goal of the doctrine of the gospel, and especially of the true account of the resurrection.

And many other signs truly did Jesus,.... Besides these wonderful appearances to his disciples once and again, when the doors were shut about them: and which signs refer not to what was done before, but after his resurrection; and which he did,
in the presence of his disciples; for he appeared to, and conversed with no other but them after his resurrection:
which are not written in this book; of John's Gospel; though they may be elsewhere; such as his appearing to the two disciples going to Emmaus, and to the eleven on a mountain in Galilee, and to five hundred brethren at once, which other inspired writers speak of: and many there are which he did; which are not particularly written in this, nor in any other book; for he was seen of his disciples forty days, and showed himself alive, by many infallible proofs; all of which are not recorded.

There were other signs and proofs of our Lord's resurrection, but these were committed to writing, that all might believe that Jesus was the promised Messiah, the Saviour of sinners, and the Son of God; that, by this faith, they might obtain eternal life, by his mercy, truth, and power. May we believe that Jesus is the Christ, and believing may we have life through his name.

FIRST CLOSE OF THIS GOSPEL. (John 20:30-31)
many other signs--miracles.

Many other signs truly did Jesus. Not near all that occurred, either before or after the resurrection, is recorded. Each of the evangelists records some features that the others omit, and they each reveal the fact that they only outline the wonderful story.

Jesus wrought many miracles, which are not written in this book - Of St. John, nor indeed of the other evangelists.
