14Jesus answered, and said to them, And if I bear witnessing of myself, my witnessing is true, (or Jesus answered, and said to them, And if I testify about myself, then my testimony is true); for I know from whence I came, and whither I go. But ye know not from whence I came, nor whither I go.
15For ye deem after the flesh, but I deem no man; (For ye judge after the flesh, but I judge no man;)
16and if I deem, my doom is true, (or and if I judge, then my judgement is true), for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
17And in your law it is written, that the witnessing of two men is true. (And in your Law it is written, that the testimony of two men who agree is true.)
18I am, that bear witnessing of myself, and the Father that sent me, beareth witnessing of me. (I am he, who giveth testimony about myself, and the Father who sent me, also giveth testimony about me.)
19Therefore they said to him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Neither ye know me, nor ye know my Father; if ye knew me, peradventure ye should know also my Father.
20Jesus spake these words in the treasury, teaching in the temple; and no man took (hold of) him, for his hour came not yet, (or for his hour had not yet come, or for it was not yet his time).
21Therefore again Jesus said to them, Lo! I go, and ye shall seek me, and ye shall die in your sin; whither I go, ye may not come, (or where I go, ye cannot come).
22Therefore the Jews said, Whether he shall slay himself, for he saith, Whither I go, ye may not come? (And so the Jews said, Shall he kill himself, for he said, Where I go, ye cannot come?)
23And he said to them, Ye be of beneath, I am of above; ye be of this world, I am not of this world.
24Therefore I said to you, that ye shall die in your sins; for if ye believe not that I am, ye shall die in your sins.
25Therefore they said to him, Who art thou? Jesus said to them, The beginning, or the first of all thing(s), which I also speak to you, (or what I have told you).
26I have many things to speak, and to deem of you, but he that sent me is soothfast; and I speak in the world these things, that I heard of him. (I have many things to say, and to judge about you, and he who sent me is truthful; and I say in the world these things, that I heard from him.)
27And they knew not, that he called his Father God. (And they did not know or understand, that he called God his Father.)
28Therefore Jesus said to them, When ye have araised man’s Son, then ye shall know, that I am, and of myself I do nothing, (or When ye have raised up man’s Son, then ye shall know, what I am, and that by myself I can do nothing); but as my Father taught me, I speak these things.
29And he that sent me is with me, and left me not alone; for I do (for)evermore those things, that be pleasing to him, (or for I always do those things, that be pleasing to him).
30When he spake these things, many believed in him.
31Therefore Jesus said to the Jews, that believed in him, If ye dwell in my word, verily, ye shall be my disciples, (or If ye remain in my word, truly, ye shall be my disciples);
32and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
33Therefore the Jews answered to him, We be the seed of Abraham, and we served never to (any) man, or and to no man we served ever, (or and we were never in servitude, or in slavery, to any man); how sayest thou, That ye shall be free?
34Jesus answered to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, (or Truly, I tell you the truth), each man that doeth sin, is the servant of sin.
35And the servant dwelleth not in the house into without end, but the Son dwelleth into without end.
36Therefore if the Son make you free, verily, ye shall be free. (And so if the Son shall make you free, truly, or in truth, ye shall be free.)
37I know that ye be Abraham’s sons, but ye seek to slay me, for my word taketh not (hold) in you.
38I speak those things, that I saw at my Father; and ye do those things, that ye saw at your father.
39They answered, and said to him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith to them, If ye be the sons of Abraham, (then) do ye the works of Abraham.
40But now ye seek to slay me, a man that have spoken to you the truth, that I heard of God (or that I heard from God); Abraham did not this thing.
41Ye do the works of your father. Therefore they said to him, We be not born of fornication; we have (but) one Father, God.
42But Jesus saith to them, If God were your Father, soothly ye should love me; for I passed forth of God, or forsooth I proceeded, or came forth, of God, and came (here); for neither I came of myself, but he sent me. (But Jesus said to them, If God were your Father, truly ye would love me, for I came forth from God, and came here; yea, I did not come here on my own accord, but he sent me.)
43Why know ye not my speech? for ye may not hear my word. (Why do ye not understand what I say? because ye cannot hear, or ye cannot listen to, my words.)
44Ye be of the father, the devil, and ye will do the desires of your father. He was a manslayer from the beginning, and he stood not in (the) truth; for (the) truth is not in him. When he speaketh leasing, he speaketh of his own; for he is a liar, and (the) father of it, (or When he speaketh lies, he speaketh his own language; for he is a liar, and the father of them).
45But for I say (the) truth, ye believe not to me. (But because I speak the truth, ye do not believe me.)
46Who of you shall reprove me of sin? if I say (the) truth, why believe ye not to me? (Who of you can prove me guilty of sin? or can convict me of sin? if I speak the truth, then why do ye not believe me?)
47He that is of God, heareth the words of God; therefore ye hear not, (or and so ye cannot hear, or and so ye will not listen), for ye be not of God.
48Therefore the Jews answered, and said to him, Whether we say not well (or Do we not rightly, or correctly, say), that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?
49Jesus answered, and said, I have not a devil, but I honour my Father, and ye have unhonoured me. (Jesus answered, and said, I do not have a devil, or I am not possessed, and I honour my Father, but ye dishonour me.)
50For I seek not my glory; there is he, that seeketh, and deemeth. (Because I do not seek my own glory; but there is He, who seeketh it, and judgeth for me.)
