John 8:41-57

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.)

⁵¹Truly, truly, I say to you, if any man keep my word(s), he shall not taste death into without end. (Truly, I tell you the truth, if any man obey my words, he shall never taste death or he shall never die.)

⁵²Therefore the Jews said, Now we have known, that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets, and thou sayest, If any man keep my word(s), (or If any man obey my words), he shall not taste death into without end.

⁵³Whether thou art greater than our father Abraham, that is dead, and the prophets be dead; whom makest thou thyself?

⁵⁴Jesus answered, If I glorify myself, my glory is nought, (or then my glory, or my boasting, is nothing); my Father is, that glorifieth me, whom ye say, that he is your God.

⁵⁵And ye have not known him, but I have known him; and if I say that I know him not, I shall be a liar like to you; but I know him, and I keep his word(s), (or and I obey his words).

⁵⁶Abraham, your father, gladded or full out joyed to see my day; and he saw (it), and joyed. (Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day; yea, he saw it, and rejoiced.)

⁵⁷Then the Jews said to him, Thou hast not yet fifty years, and hast thou seen Abraham?
