New International Version (NIV) |
|
42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
|
42 Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and now am here. I have not come on my own; but he sent me.
|
|
43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.
|
43 Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say.
|
|
44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do . He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
|
44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
|
|
45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
|
45 Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me!
|
|
46 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?
|
46 Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don't you believe me?
|
|
47 He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
|
47 He who belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God."
|
|
48 Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?
|
48 The Jews answered him, "Aren't we right in saying that you are a Samaritan and demon-possessed?"
|
|
49 Jesus answered , I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me.
|
49 "I am not possessed by a demon," said Jesus, "but I honor my Father and you dishonor me.
|
|
50 And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth .
|
50 I am not seeking glory for myself; but there is one who seeks it, and he is the judge.
|
|
51 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.
|
51 I tell you the truth, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death."
|
|
52 Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead , and the prophets; and thou sayest , If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.
|
52 At this the Jews exclaimed, "Now we know that you are demon-possessed! Abraham died and so did the prophets, yet you say that if anyone keeps your word, he will never taste death.
