`Observe the month of Abib — and thou hast made a passover to Jehovah – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry – `Observe the month of Abib — and thou hast made a passover to Jehovah thy God, for in the month of Abib hath Jehovah thy God brought thee out of Egypt by night;

²and thou hast sacrificed a passover to Jehovah thy God, of the flock, and of the herd, in the place which Jehovah doth choose to cause His name to tabernacle there.

^{3 `Thou dost not eat with it any fermented thing, seven days thou dost eat with it unleavened things, bread of affliction; for in haste thou hast come out of the land of Egypt; so that thou dost remember the day of thy coming out of the land of Egypt all days of thy life;}

⁴and there is not seen with thee leaven in all thy border seven days, and there doth not remain of the flesh which thou dost sacrifice at evening on the first day till morning.

⁵`Thou art not able to sacrifice the passover within any of thy gates which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee,

^{6 except at the place which Jehovah thy God doth choose to cause His name to tabernacle — there thou dost sacrifice the passover in the evening, at the going in of the sun, the season of thy coming out of Egypt;}

⁷and thou hast cooked and eaten in the place on which Jehovah thy God doth fix, and hast turned in the morning, and gone to thy tents;

⁸six days thou dost eat unleavened things, and on the seventh day [is] a restraint to Jehovah thy God; thou dost do no work.

^{9 `Seven weeks thou dost number to thee; from the beginning of the sickle among the standing corn thou dost begin to number seven weeks,}

^{10 and thou hast made the feast of weeks to Jehovah thy God, a tribute of a free-will offering of thy hand, which thou dost give, as Jehovah thy God doth bless thee.}

^{11 And thou hast rejoiced before Jehovah thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy handmaid, and the Levite who [is] within thy gates, and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who [are] in thy midst, in the place which Jehovah thy God doth choose to cause His name to tabernacle there,}

¹²and thou hast remembered that a servant thou hast been in Egypt, and hast observed and done these statutes.

^{13 `The feast of booths thou dost make for thee seven days, in thine in-gathering of thy threshing-floor, and of thy wine-vat;}

^{14 and thou hast rejoiced in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy handmaid, and the Levite, and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who [are] within thy gates.}

^{15 Seven days thou dost feast before Jehovah thy God, in the place which Jehovah doth choose, for Jehovah thy God doth bless thee in all thine increase, and in every work of thy hands, and thou hast been only rejoicing.}

^{16 `Three times in a year doth every one of thy males appear before Jehovah thy God in the place which He doth choose — in the feast of unleavened things, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of booths; and they do not appear before Jehovah empty;}

^{17 each according to the gift of his hand, according to the blessing of Jehovah thy God, which He hath given to thee.}

¹⁸`Judges and authorities thou dost make to thee within all thy gates which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee, for thy tribes; and they have judged the people — a righteous judgment.

^{19 Thou dost not turn aside judgment; thou dost not discern faces, nor take a bribe, for the bribe blindeth the eyes of the wise, and perverteth the words of the righteous.}

^{20 Righteousness — righteousness thou dost pursue, so that thou livest, and hast possessed the land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee.}

²¹`Thou dost not plant for thee a shrine of any trees near the altar of Jehovah thy God, which thou makest for thyself,

^{22 and thou dost not raise up to thee any standing image which Jehovah thy God is hating. – Aslan International Ministry}

And the third day a marriage happened in Cana of Galilee – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry – 2 And the third day a marriage happened in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there,

²and also Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage;

³and wine having failed, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, `Wine they have not;’

⁴Jesus saith to her, `What — to me and to thee, woman? not yet is mine hour come.’

⁵His mother saith to the ministrants, `Whatever he may say to you — do.’

⁶And there were there six water-jugs of stone, placed according to the purifying of the Jews, holding each two or three measures.

⁷Jesus saith to them, `Fill the water-jugs with water;’ and they filled them — unto the brim;

⁸and he saith to them, `Draw out, now, and bear to the director of the apartment;’ and they bare.

⁹And as the director of the apartment tasted the water become wine, and knew not whence it is, (but the ministrants knew, who have drawn the water,) the director of the feast doth call the bridegroom,

¹⁰and saith to him, `Every man, at first, the good wine doth set forth; and when they may have drunk freely, then the inferior; thou didst keep the good wine till now.’

¹¹This beginning of the signs did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory, and his disciples believed in him;

¹²after this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples; and there they remained not many days.

¹³And the passover of the Jews was nigh, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,

¹⁴and he found in the temple those selling oxen, and sheep, and doves, and the money-changers sitting,

¹⁵and having made a whip of small cords, he put all forth out of the temple, also the sheep, and the oxen; and of the money-changers he poured out the coins, and the tables he overthrew,

¹⁶and to those selling the doves he said, `Take these things hence; make not the house of my Father a house of merchandise.’

¹⁷And his disciples remembered that it is written, `The zeal of Thy house did eat me up;’

¹⁸the Jews then answered and said to him, `What sign dost thou shew to us — that thou dost these things?’

¹⁹Jesus answered and said to them, `Destroy this sanctuary, and in three days I will raise it up.’

²⁰The Jews, therefore, said, `Forty and six years was this sanctuary building, and wilt thou in three days raise it up?’

²¹but he spake concerning the sanctuary of his body;

^{22 when, then, he was raised out of the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this to them, and they believed the Writing, and the word that Jesus said.}

²³And as he was in Jerusalem, in the passover, in the feast, many believed in his name, beholding his signs that he was doing;

²⁴and Jesus himself was not trusting himself to them, because of his knowing all [men],

^{25 and because he had no need that any should testify concerning man, for he himself was knowing what was in man. – Aslan International Ministry}

And Jesus was walking after these things in Galilee – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry – 7 And Jesus was walking after these things in Galilee, for he did not wish to walk in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill him,

²and the feast of the Jews was nigh — that of tabernacles —

^{3 his brethren, therefore, said unto him, `Remove hence, and go away to Judea, that thy disciples also may behold thy works that thou dost;}

⁴for no one in secret doth anything, and himself seeketh to be in public; if thou dost these things — manifest thyself to the world;’

⁵for not even were his brethren believing in him.

⁶Jesus, therefore, saith to them, `My time is not yet present, but your time is always ready;

⁷the world is not able to hate you, but me it doth hate, because I testify concerning it that its works are evil.

⁸Ye — go ye up to this feast; I do not yet go up to this feast, because my time hath not yet been fulfilled;’

^{9 and saying these things to them, he remained in Galilee.}

¹⁰And when his brethren went up, then also he himself went up to the feast, not manifestly, but as in secret;

¹¹the Jews, therefore, were seeking him, in the feast, and said, `Where is that one?’

¹²and there was much murmuring about him among the multitudes, some indeed said — `He is good;’ and others said, `No, but he leadeth astray the multitude;’

¹³no one, however, was speaking freely about him, through fear of the Jews.

¹⁴And it being now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up to the temple, and he was teaching,

¹⁵and the Jews were wondering, saying, `How hath this one known letters — not having learned?’

¹⁶Jesus answered them and said, `My teaching is not mine, but His who sent me;

¹⁷if any one may will to do His will, he shall know concerning the teaching, whether it is of God, or — I do speak from myself.

¹⁸`He who is speaking from himself his own glory doth seek, but he who is seeking the glory of him who sent him, this one is true, and unrighteousness is not in him;

¹⁹hath not Moses given you the law? and none of you doth the law; why me do ye seek to kill?’

²⁰The multitude answered and said, `Thou hast a demon, who doth seek to kill thee?’

²¹Jesus answered and said to them, `One work I did, and ye all wonder,

²²because of this, Moses hath given you the circumcision — not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers — and on a sabbath ye circumcise a man;

²³if a man doth receive circumcision on a sabbath that the law of Moses may not be broken, are ye wroth with me that I made a man all whole on a sabbath?

²⁴judge not according to appearance, but the righteous judgment judge.’

²⁵Certain, therefore, of the Jerusalemites said, `Is not this he whom they are seeking to kill?

²⁶and, lo, he doth speak freely, and they say nothing to him; did the rulers at all know truly that this is truly the Christ?

²⁷but this one — we have known whence he is; and the Christ, when he doth come, no one doth know whence he is.’

²⁸Jesus cried, therefore, in the temple, teaching and saying, `Ye have both known me, and ye have known whence I am; and I have not come of myself, but He who sent me is true, whom ye have not known;

²⁹and I have known Him, because I am from Him, and He did send me.’

³⁰They were seeking, therefore, to seize him, and no one laid the hand on him, because his hour had not yet come,

³¹and many out of the multitude did believe in him, and said — `The Christ — when he may come — will he do more signs than these that this one did?’

³²The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers that they may take him;

³³Jesus, therefore, said to them, `Yet a little time I am with you, and I go away unto Him who sent me;

³⁴ye will seek me, and ye shall not find; and where I am, ye are not able to come.’

³⁵The Jews, therefore, said among themselves, `Whither is this one about to go that we shall not find him? — to the dispersion of the Greeks is he about to go? and to teach the Greeks;

³⁶what is this word that he said, Ye will seek me, and ye shall not find? and, Where I am, ye are not able to come?’

³⁷And in the last, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, `If any one doth thirst, let him come unto me and drink;

³⁸he who is believing in me, according as the Writing said, Rivers out of his belly shall flow of living water;’

^{39 and this he said of the Spirit, which those believing in him were about to receive; for not yet was the Holy Spirit, because Jesus was not yet glorified.}

⁴⁰Many, therefore out of the multitude, having heard the word, said, `This is truly the Prophet;’

⁴¹others said, `This is the Christ;’ and others said, `Why, out of Galilee doth the Christ come?

⁴²Did not the Writing say, that out of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem — the village where David was — the Christ doth come?’

⁴³A division, therefore, arose among the multitude because of him.

⁴⁴And certain of them were willing to seize him, but no one laid hands on him;

⁴⁵the officers came, therefore, unto the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, `Wherefore did ye not bring him?’

⁴⁶The officers answered, `Never so spake man — as this man.’

⁴⁷The Pharisees, therefore, answered them, `Have ye also been led astray?

⁴⁸did any one out of the rulers believe in him? or out of the Pharisees?

⁴⁹but this multitude, that is not knowing the law, is accursed.’

⁵⁰Nicodemus saith unto them — he who came by night unto him — being one of them,

⁵¹`Doth our law judge the man, if it may not hear from him first, and know what he doth?’

⁵²They answered and said to him, `Art thou also out of Galilee? search and see, that a prophet out of Galilee hath not risen;’

⁵³and each one went on to his house, but Jesus went on to the mount of the Olives. – Aslan International Ministry

When therefore the Lord knew that the Pharisees – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry –4 When therefore the Lord knew that the Pharisees heard that Jesus more disciples doth make and baptize than John,

²(though indeed Jesus himself was not baptizing, but his disciples,)

³he left Judea and went away again to Galilee,

⁴and it was behoving him to go through Samaria.

⁵He cometh, therefore, to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near to the place that Jacob gave to Joseph his son;

⁶and there was there a well of Jacob. Jesus therefore having been weary from the journeying, was sitting thus on the well; it was as it were the sixth hour;

⁷there cometh a woman out of Samaria to draw water. Jesus saith to her, `Give me to drink;’

⁸for his disciples were gone away to the city, that they may buy victuals;

^{9 the Samaritan woman therefore saith to him, `How dost thou, being a Jew, ask drink from me, being a Samaritan woman?’ for Jews have no dealing with Samaritans.}

¹⁰Jesus answered and said to her, `If thou hadst known the gift of God, and who it is who is saying to thee, Give me to drink, thou wouldest have asked him, and he would have given thee living water.’

¹¹The woman saith to him, `Sir, thou hast not even a vessel to draw with, and the well is deep; whence, then, hast thou the living water?

¹²Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who did give us the well, and himself out of it did drink, and his sons, and his cattle?’

¹³Jesus answered and said to her, `Every one who is drinking of this water shall thirst again;

¹⁴but whoever may drink of the water that I will give him, may not thirst — to the age; and the water that I will give him shall become in him a well of water, springing up to life age-during.’

¹⁵The woman saith unto him, `Sir, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come hither to draw.’

¹⁶Jesus saith to her, `Go, call thy husband, and come hither;’

^{17 the woman answered and said, `I have not a husband.’ Jesus saith to her, `Well didst thou say — A husband I have not;}

¹⁸for five husbands thou hast had, and, now, he whom thou hast is not thy husband; this hast thou said truly.’

¹⁹The woman saith to him, `Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet;

²⁰our fathers in this mountain did worship, and ye — ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where it behoveth to worship.’

²¹Jesus saith to her, `Woman, believe me, that there doth come an hour, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father;

²²ye worship what ye have not known; we worship what we have known, because the salvation is of the Jews;

²³but, there cometh an hour, and it now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father also doth seek such to worship him;

²⁴God [is] a Spirit, and those worshipping Him, in spirit and truth it doth behove to worship.’

²⁵The woman saith to him, `I have known that Messiah doth come, who is called Christ, when that one may come, he will tell us all things;’

²⁶Jesus saith to her, `I am [he], who am speaking to thee.’

²⁷And upon this came his disciples, and were wondering that with a woman he was speaking, no one, however, said, `What seekest thou?’ or `Why speakest thou with her?’

²⁸The woman then left her water-jug, and went away to the city, and saith to the men,

²⁹`Come, see a man, who told me all things — as many as I did; is this the Christ?’

³⁰They went forth therefore out of the city, and were coming unto him.

³¹And in the meanwhile his disciples were asking him, saying, `Rabbi, eat;’

³²and he said to them, `I have food to eat that ye have not known.’

³³The disciples then said one to another, `Did any one bring him anything to eat?’

³⁴Jesus saith to them, `My food is, that I may do the will of Him who sent me, and may finish His work;

³⁵do not say that it is yet four months, and the harvest cometh; lo, I say to you, Lift up your eyes, and see the fields, that they are white unto harvest already.

³⁶`And he who is reaping doth receive a reward, and doth gather fruit to life age-during, that both he who is sowing and he who is reaping may rejoice together;

^{37 for in this the saying is the true one, that one is the sower and another the reaper.}

³⁸I sent you to reap that on which ye have not laboured; others laboured, and ye into their labour have entered.

³⁹And from that city many believed in him, of the Samaritans, because of the word of the woman testifying, — `He told me all things — as many as I did.’

⁴⁰When, then, the Samaritans came unto him, they were asking him to remain with them, and he remained there two days;

⁴¹and many more did believe because of his word,

⁴²and said to the woman — `No more because of thy speaking do we believe; for we ourselves have heard and known that this is truly the Saviour of the world — the Christ.’

⁴³And after the two days he went forth thence, and went away to Galilee,

⁴⁴for Jesus himself testified that a prophet in his own country shall not have honour;

⁴⁵when then, he came to Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all things that he did in Jerusalem in the feast — for they also went to the feast.

^{46 Jesus came, therefore, again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine, and there was a certain courtier, whose son was ailing in Capernaum,}

⁴⁷he, having heard that Jesus is come out of Judea to Galilee, went away unto him, and was asking him that he may come down and may heal his son, for he was about to die.

⁴⁸Jesus then said unto him, `If signs and wonders ye may not see, ye will not believe.’

⁴⁹The courtier saith unto him, `Sir, come down before my child die;’

^{50 Jesus saith to him, `Be going on; thy son doth live.’ And the man believed the word that Jesus said to him, and was going on,}

⁵¹and he now going down, his servants met him, and told, saying — `Thy child doth live;’

⁵²he inquired then of them the hour in which he became better, and they said to him — `Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him;’

⁵³then the father knew that [it was] in that hour in which Jesus said to him — `Thy son doth live,’ and he himself believed, and his whole house;

^{54 this again a second sign did Jesus, having come out of Judea to Galilee. – Aslan International Ministry}

And before the feast of the passover – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry – 13 And before the feast of the passover, Jesus knowing that his hour hath come, that he may remove out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own who [are] in the world — to the end he loved them.

²And supper being come, the devil already having put [it] into the heart of Judas of Simon, Iscariot, that he may deliver him up,

^{3 Jesus knowing that all things the Father hath given to him — into [his] hands, and that from God he came forth, and unto God he goeth,}

⁴doth rise from the supper, and doth lay down his garments, and having taken a towel, he girded himself;

⁵afterward he putteth water into the basin, and began to wash the feet of his disciples, and to wipe with the towel with which he was being girded.

⁶He cometh, therefore, unto Simon Peter, and that one saith to him, `Sir, thou — dost thou wash my feet?’

⁷Jesus answered and said to him, `That which I do thou hast not known now, but thou shalt know after these things;’

⁸Peter saith to him, `Thou mayest not wash my feet — to the age.’ Jesus answered him, `If I may not wash thee, thou hast no part with me;’

⁹Simon Peter saith to him, `Sir, not my feet only, but also the hands and the head.’

¹⁰Jesus saith to him, `He who hath been bathed hath no need save to wash his feet, but he is clean altogether; and ye are clean, but not all;’

¹¹for he knew him who is delivering him up; because of this he said, `Ye are not all clean.’

¹²When, therefore, he washed their feet, and took his garments, having reclined (at meat) again, he said to them, `Do ye know what I have done to you?

¹³ye call me, The Teacher and The Lord, and ye say well, for I am;

¹⁴if then I did wash your feet — the Lord and the Teacher — ye also ought to wash one another’s feet.

¹⁵`For an example I gave to you, that, according as I did to you, ye also may do;

¹⁶verily, verily, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his lord, nor an apostle greater than he who sent him;

¹⁷if these things ye have known, happy are ye, if ye may do them;

¹⁸not concerning you all do I speak; I have known whom I chose for myself; but that the Writing may be fulfilled: He who is eating the bread with me, did lift up against me his heel.

¹⁹`From this time I tell you, before its coming to pass, that, when it may come to pass, ye may believe that I am [he];

²⁰verily, verily, I say to you, he who is receiving whomsoever I may send, doth receive me; and he who is receiving me, doth receive Him who sent me.’

²¹These things having said, Jesus was troubled in the spirit, and did testify, and said, `Verily, verily, I say to you, that one of you will deliver me up;’

²²the disciples were looking, therefore, one at another, doubting concerning whom he speaketh.

²³And there was one of his disciples reclining (at meat) in the bosom of Jesus, whom Jesus was loving;

²⁴Simon Peter, then, doth beckon to this one, to inquire who he may be concerning whom he speaketh,

²⁵and that one having leant back on the breast of Jesus, respondeth to him, `Sir, who is it?’

²⁶Jesus answereth, `That one it is to whom I, having dipped the morsel, shall give it;’ and having dipped the morsel, he giveth [it] to Judas of Simon, Iscariot.

²⁷And after the morsel, then the Adversary entered into that one, Jesus, therefore, saith to him, `What thou dost — do quickly;’

²⁸and none of those reclining at meat knew for what intent he said this to him,

²⁹for certain were thinking, since Judas had the bag, that Jesus saith to him, `Buy what we have need of for the feast;’ or that he may give something to the poor;

³⁰having received, therefore, the morsel, that one immediately went forth, and it was night.

^{31 When, therefore, he went forth, Jesus saith, `Now was the Son of Man glorified, and God was glorified in him;}

³²if God was glorified in him, God also will glorify him in Himself; yea, immediately He will glorify him.

³³`Little children, yet a little am I with you; ye will seek me, and, according as I said to the Jews — Whither I go away, ye are not able to come, to you also I do say [it] now.

³⁴`A new commandment I give to you, that ye love one another; according as I did love you, that ye also love one another;

³⁵in this shall all know that ye are my disciples, if ye may have love one to another.’

³⁶Simon Peter saith to him, `Sir, whither dost thou go away?’ Jesus answered him, `Whither I go away, thou art not able now to follow me, but afterward thou shalt follow me.’

³⁷Peter saith to him, `Sir, wherefore am I not able to follow thee now? my life for thee I will lay down;’

³⁸Jesus answered him, `Thy life for me thou wilt lay down! verily, verily, I say to thee, a cock will not crow till thou mayest deny me thrice.’ – Aslan International Ministry

After these things there was a feast of the Jews – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry – 5 After these things there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,

²and there is in Jerusalem by the sheep-[gate] a pool that is called in Hebrew Bethesda, having five porches,

³in these were lying a great multitude of the ailing, blind, lame, withered, waiting for the moving of the water,

⁴for a messenger at a set time was going down in the pool, and was troubling the water, the first then having gone in after the troubling of the water, became whole of whatever sickness he was held.

⁵and there was a certain man there being in ailment thirty and eight years,

⁶him Jesus having seen lying, and having known that he is already a long time, he saith to him, `Dost thou wish to become whole?’

⁷The ailing man answered him, `Sir, I have no man, that, when the water may be troubled, he may put me into the pool, and while I am coming, another doth go down before me.’

⁸Jesus saith to him, `Rise, take up thy couch, and be walking;’

⁹and immediately the man became whole, and he took up his couch, and was walking, and it was a sabbath on that day,

¹⁰the Jews then said to him that hath been healed, `It is a sabbath; it is not lawful to thee to take up the couch.’

¹¹He answered them, `He who made me whole — that one said to me, Take up thy couch, and be walking;’

¹²they questioned him, then, `Who is the man who is saying to thee, Take up thy couch and be walking?’

¹³But he that was healed had not known who he is, for Jesus did move away, a multitude being in the place.

¹⁴After these things, Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said to him, `Lo, thou hast become whole; sin no more, lest something worse may happen to thee.’

¹⁵The man went away, and told the Jews that it is Jesus who made him whole,

^{16 and because of this were the Jews persecuting Jesus, and seeking to kill him, because these things he was doing on a sabbath.}

¹⁷And Jesus answered them, `My Father till now doth work, and I work;’

¹⁸because of this, then, were the Jews seeking the more to kill him, because not only was he breaking the sabbath, but he also called God his own Father, making himself equal to God.

¹⁹Jesus therefore responded and said to them, `Verily, verily, I say to you, The Son is not able to do anything of himself, if he may not see the Father doing anything; for whatever things He may do, these also the Son in like manner doth;

²⁰for the Father doth love the Son, and doth shew to him all things that He himself doth; and greater works than these He will shew him, that ye may wonder.

²¹`For, as the Father doth raise the dead, and doth make alive, so also the Son doth make alive whom he willeth;

²²for neither doth the Father judge any one, but all the judgment He hath given to the Son,

^{23 that all may honour the Son according as they honour the Father; he who is not honouring the Son, doth not honour the Father who sent him.}

^{24 `Verily, verily, I say to you — He who is hearing my word, and is believing Him who sent me, hath life age-during, and to judgment he doth not come, but hath passed out of the death to the life.}

^{25 `Verily, verily, I say to you — There cometh an hour, and it now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and those having heard shall live;}

²⁶for, as the Father hath life in himself, so He gave also to the Son to have life in himself,

²⁷and authority He gave him also to do judgment, because he is Son of Man.

²⁸`Wonder not at this, because there doth come an hour in which all those in the tombs shall hear his voice,

²⁹and they shall come forth; those who did the good things to a rising again of life, and those who practised the evil things to a rising again of judgment.

³⁰`I am not able of myself to do anything; according as I hear I judge, and my judgment is righteous, because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father who sent me.

³¹`If I testify concerning myself, my testimony is not true;

³²another there is who is testifying concerning me, and I have known that the testimony that he doth testify concerning me is true;

³³ye have sent unto John, and he hath testified to the truth.

³⁴`But I do not receive testimony from man, but these things I say that ye may be saved;

³⁵he was the burning and shining lamp, and ye did will to be glad, for an hour, in his light.

³⁶`But I have the testimony greater than John’s, for the works that the Father gave me, that I might finish them, the works themselves that I do, they testify concerning me, that the Father hath sent me.

³⁷`And the Father who sent me Himself hath testified concerning me; ye have neither heard His voice at any time, nor His appearance have ye seen;

³⁸and His word ye have not remaining in you, because whom He sent, him ye do not believe.

³⁹`Ye search the Writings, because ye think in them to have life age-during, and these are they that are testifying concerning me;

⁴⁰and ye do not will to come unto me, that ye may have life;

⁴¹glory from man I do not receive,

⁴²but I have known you, that the love of God ye have not in yourselves.

⁴³`I have come in the name of my Father, and ye do not receive me; if another may come in his own name, him ye will receive;

⁴⁴how are ye able — ye — to believe, glory from one another receiving, and the glory that [is] from God alone ye seek not?

⁴⁵`Do not think that I will accuse you unto the Father; there is who is accusing you, Moses — in whom ye have hoped;

⁴⁶for if ye were believing Moses, ye would have been believing me, for he wrote concerning me;

^{47 but if his writings ye believe not, how shall ye believe my sayings?’ – Aslan International Ministry}
