John 12,40, a quote from Isaiah 6,10 (albeit in a wording which differs from the Septuagint), has been acknowledged as crux interpretum. In order to make things easier to understand, some modern translations insert "God" as the subject of John 12,40a. This insertion is against all known Greek witnesses. Moreover, it is unnecessary and - since "God" is not the subject of John 12,40a - misleading. An analysis of syntax and semantics reveals the grammatical errors of the traditional view of John 12,39-40. The newly analysed text is the basis of a new translation. If this proposed new meaning of the text is used for interpretation, there is no crux interpretum.
