`Hear, Israel, thou art passing over to-day – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry – `Hear, Israel, thou art passing over to-day the Jordan, to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than thyself; cities great and fenced in the heavens;

²a people great and tall, sons of Anakim, whom thou — thou hast known, (and thou — thou hast heard: Who doth station himself before sons of Anak?)

³and thou hast known to-day, that Jehovah thy God [is] He who is passing over before thee — a fire consuming; He doth destroy them, and He doth humble them before thee, and thou hast dispossessed them, and destroyed them hastily, as Jehovah hath spoken to thee.

^{4 `Thou dost not speak in thy heart (in Jehovah thy God’s driving them away from before thee), saying, For my righteousness hath Jehovah brought me in to possess this land, seeing for the wickedness of these nations is Jehovah dispossessing them from thy presence;}

^{5 not for thy righteousness, and for the uprightness of thy heart, art thou going in to possess their land; but for the wickedness of these nations is Jehovah thy God dispossessing them from before thee; and in order to establish the word which Jehovah hath sworn to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob;}

^{6 and thou hast known, that not for thy righteousness is Jehovah thy God giving to thee this good land to possess it, for a people stiff of neck thou [art].}

⁷`Remember — do not forget — that [with] which thou hast made Jehovah thy God wroth in the wilderness; even from the day that thou hast come out of the land of Egypt till your coming in unto this place rebels ye have been with Jehovah;

⁸even in Horeb ye have made Jehovah wroth, and Jehovah sheweth Himself angry against you — to destroy you.

⁹`In my going up into the mount to receive the tables of stone (tables of the covenant which Jehovah hath made with you), and I abide in the mount forty days and forty nights; bread I have not eaten, and water I have not drunk;

¹⁰and Jehovah giveth unto me the two tables of stone written with the finger of God, and on them according to all the words which Jehovah hath spoken with you in the mount, out of the midst of the fire, in the day of the assembly.

^{11 `And it cometh to pass, at the end of forty days and forty nights, Jehovah hath given unto me the two tables of stone — tables of the covenant,}

^{12 and Jehovah saith unto me, Rise, go down, hasten from this, for thy people hath done corruptly, whom thou hast brought out of Egypt; they have turned aside hastily out of the way which I have commanded them — they have made to themselves a molten thing!}

^{13 `And Jehovah speaketh unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and lo, a people stiff of neck it [is];}

¹⁴desist from Me, and I destroy them, and blot out their name from under the heavens, and I make thee become a nation more mighty and numerous than it.

¹⁵`And I turn, and come down from the mount, and the mount is burning with fire, and the two tables of the covenant on my two hands,

¹⁶and I see, and lo, ye have sinned against Jehovah your God; ye have made to yourselves a molten calf; ye have turned aside hastily out of the way which Jehovah hath commanded you.

¹⁷`And I lay hold on the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and break them before your eyes,

¹⁸and I throw myself before Jehovah, as at first, forty days and forty nights; bread I have not eaten, and water I have not drunk, because of all your sins which ye have sinned, by doing the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, to make Him angry.

^{19 `For I have been afraid because of the anger and the fury with which Jehovah hath been wroth against you, to destroy you; and Jehovah doth hearken unto me also at this time.}

²⁰`And with Aaron hath Jehovah shewed himself very angry, to destroy him, and I pray also for Aaron at that time;

²¹and your sin, which ye have made — the calf — I have taken, and I burn it with fire, and beat it, grinding well till that it [is] small as dust, and I cast its dust unto the brook which is going down out of the mount.

²²`And in Taberah, and in Massah, and in Kibroth-Hattaavah, ye have been making Jehovah wroth:

^{23 and in Jehovah’s sending you from Kadesh-Barnea, saying, Go up, and possess the land which I have given to you, then ye provoke the mouth of Jehovah your God, and have not given credence to Him, nor hearkened to His voice;}

²⁴rebels ye have been with Jehovah from the day of my knowing you.

²⁵`And I throw myself before Jehovah, the forty days and the forty nights, as I had thrown myself, for Jehovah hath said — to destroy you;

^{26 and I pray unto Jehovah, and say, Lord Jehovah, destroy not Thy people, and Thine inheritance, whom Thou hast ransomed in Thy greatness; whom Thou hast brought out of Egypt with a strong hand;}

²⁷be mindful of Thy servants, of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, turn not unto the stiffness of this people, and unto its wickedness, and unto its sin;

^{28 lest the land say from which Thou hast brought us out, Because of Jehovah’s want of ability to bring them in unto the land of which He hath spoken to them, and because of His hating them, He brought them out to put them to death in the wilderness;}

²⁹and they [are] Thy people, and Thine inheritance, whom Thou hast brought out by Thy great power, and by Thy stretched-out arm! – Aslan International Ministry

At dawn he came again to the temple – ASLAN International Ministry

John 8:1-198 And at dawn he came again to the temple,2 and all the people were coming unto him, and having sat down, he was teaching them;3 and the scribes and the Pharisees bring unto him a woman having been taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst,4 they say to him, `Teacher, this woman was taken in the very crime — committing adultery,5 and in the law, Moses did command us that such be stoned; thou, therefore, what dost thou say?’6 and this they said, trying him, that they might have to accuse him. And Jesus, having stooped down, with the finger he was writing on the ground,7 and when they continued asking him, having bent himself back, he said unto them, `The sinless of you — let him first cast the stone at her;’8 and again having stooped down, he was writing on the ground,9 and they having heard, and by the conscience being convicted, were going forth one by one, having begun from the elders — unto the last; and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.10 And Jesus having bent himself back, and having seen no one but the woman, said to her, `Woman, where are those — thine accusers? did no one pass sentence upon thee?’11 and she said, `No one, Sir;’ and Jesus said to her, `Neither do I pass sentence on thee; be going on, and no more sin.’12 Again, therefore, Jesus spake to them, saying, `I am the light of the world; he who is following me shall not walk in the darkness, but he shall have the light of the life.’13 The Pharisees, therefore, said to him, `Thou of thyself dost testify, thy testimony is not true;’14 Jesus answered and said to them, `And if I testify of myself — my testimony is true, because I have known whence I came, and whither I go, and ye — ye have not known whence I come, or whither I go.15 `Ye according to the flesh do judge; I do not judge any one,16 and even if I do judge my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me;17 and also in your law it hath been written, that the testimony of two men are true;18 I am [one] who is testifying of myself, and the Father who sent me doth testify of me.’19 They said, therefore, to him, `Where is thy father?’ Jesus answered, `Ye have neither known me nor my Father: if me ye had known, my Father also ye had known.’

And on the first of the sabbaths – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry – 20 And on the first of the sabbaths, Mary the Magdalene doth come early (there being yet darkness) to the tomb, and she seeth the stone having been taken away out of the tomb,

²she runneth, therefore, and cometh unto Simon Peter, and unto the other disciple whom Jesus was loving, and saith to them, `They took away the Lord out of the tomb, and we have not known where they laid him.’

³Peter, therefore, went forth, and the other disciple, and they were coming to the tomb,

⁴and the two were running together, and the other disciple did run forward more quickly than Peter, and came first to the tomb,

⁵and having stooped down, seeth the linen clothes lying, yet, indeed, he entered not.

⁶Simon Peter, therefore, cometh, following him, and he entered into the tomb, and beholdeth the linen clothes lying,

⁷and the napkin that was upon his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but apart, having been folded up, in one place;

⁸then, therefore, entered also the other disciple who came first unto the tomb, and he saw, and did believe;

⁹for not yet did they know the Writing, that it behoveth him out of the dead to rise again.

¹⁰The disciples therefore went away again unto their own friends,

¹¹and Mary was standing near the tomb, weeping without; as she was weeping, then, she stooped down to the tomb, and beholdeth two messengers in white, sitting,

¹²one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had been laid.

¹³And they say to her, `Woman, why dost thou weep?’ she saith to them, `Because they took away my Lord, and I have not known where they laid him;’

^{14 and these things having said, she turned backward, and seeth Jesus standing, and she had not known that it is Jesus.}

^{15 Jesus saith to her, `Woman, why dost thou weep? whom dost thou seek;’ she, supposing that he is the gardener, saith to him, `Sir, if thou didst carry him away, tell me where thou didst lay him, and I will take him away;’}

¹⁶Jesus saith to her, `Mary!’ having turned, she saith to him, `Rabbouni;’ that is to say, `Teacher.’

¹⁷Jesus saith to her, `Be not touching me, for I have not yet ascended unto my Father; and be going on to my brethren, and say to them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father, and to my God, and to your God.’

¹⁸Mary the Magdalene cometh, telling to the disciples that she hath seen the Lord, and [that] these things he said to her.

¹⁹It being, therefore, evening, on that day, the first of the sabbaths, and the doors having been shut where the disciples were assembled, through fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and saith to them, `Peace to you;’

²⁰and this having said, he shewed them his hands and side; the disciples, therefore, rejoiced, having seen the Lord.

²¹Jesus, therefore, said to them again, `Peace to you; according as the Father hath sent me, I also send you;’

²²and this having said, he breathed on [them], and saith to them, `Receive the Holy Spirit;

²³if of any ye may loose the sins, they are loosed to them; if of any ye may retain, they have been retained.’

²⁴And Thomas, one of the twelve, who is called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came;

²⁵the other disciples, therefore, said to him, `We have seen the Lord;’ and he said to them, `If I may not see in his hands the mark of the nails, and may put my finger to the mark of the nails, and may put my hand to his side, I will not believe.’

²⁶And after eight days, again were his disciples within, and Thomas with them; Jesus cometh, the doors having been shut, and he stood in the midst, and said, `Peace to you!’

²⁷then he saith to Thomas, `Bring thy finger hither, and see my hands, and bring thy hand, and put [it] to my side, and become not unbelieving, but believing.’

²⁸And Thomas answered and said to him, `My Lord and my God;’

²⁹Jesus saith to him, `Because thou hast seen me, Thomas, thou hast believed; happy those not having seen, and having believed.’

³⁰Many indeed, therefore, other signs also did Jesus before his disciples, that are not written in this book;

^{31 and these have been written that ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing ye may have life in his name.’ – Aslan International Ministry}

And at dawn he came again to the temple – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry – 8 And at dawn he came again to the temple,

²and all the people were coming unto him, and having sat down, he was teaching them;

³and the scribes and the Pharisees bring unto him a woman having been taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst,

⁴they say to him, `Teacher, this woman was taken in the very crime — committing adultery,

⁵and in the law, Moses did command us that such be stoned; thou, therefore, what dost thou say?’

⁶and this they said, trying him, that they might have to accuse him. And Jesus, having stooped down, with the finger he was writing on the ground,

⁷and when they continued asking him, having bent himself back, he said unto them, `The sinless of you — let him first cast the stone at her;’

⁸and again having stooped down, he was writing on the ground,

⁹and they having heard, and by the conscience being convicted, were going forth one by one, having begun from the elders — unto the last; and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

¹⁰And Jesus having bent himself back, and having seen no one but the woman, said to her, `Woman, where are those — thine accusers? did no one pass sentence upon thee?’

¹¹and she said, `No one, Sir;’ and Jesus said to her, `Neither do I pass sentence on thee; be going on, and no more sin.’

¹²Again, therefore, Jesus spake to them, saying, `I am the light of the world; he who is following me shall not walk in the darkness, but he shall have the light of the life.’

¹³The Pharisees, therefore, said to him, `Thou of thyself dost testify, thy testimony is not true;’

¹⁴Jesus answered and said to them, `And if I testify of myself — my testimony is true, because I have known whence I came, and whither I go, and ye — ye have not known whence I come, or whither I go.

¹⁵`Ye according to the flesh do judge; I do not judge any one,

¹⁶and even if I do judge my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me;

¹⁷and also in your law it hath been written, that the testimony of two men are true;

¹⁸I am [one] who is testifying of myself, and the Father who sent me doth testify of me.’

¹⁹They said, therefore, to him, `Where is thy father?’ Jesus answered, `Ye have neither known me nor my Father: if me ye had known, my Father also ye had known.’

^{20 These sayings spake Jesus in the treasury, teaching in the temple, and no one seized him, because his hour had not yet come;}

²¹therefore said Jesus again to them, `I go away, and ye will seek me, and in your sin ye shall die; whither I go away, ye are not able to come.’

²²The Jews, therefore, said, `Will he kill himself, because he saith, Whither I go away, ye are not able to come?’

²³and he said to them, `Ye are from beneath, I am from above; ye are of this world, I am not of this world;

²⁴I said, therefore, to you, that ye shall die in your sins, for if ye may not believe that I am [he], ye shall die in your sins.’

²⁵They said, therefore, to him, `Thou — who art thou?’ and Jesus said to them, `Even what I did speak of to you at the beginning;

²⁶many things I have to speak concerning you and to judge, but He who sent me is true, and I — what things I heard from Him — these I say to the world.’

²⁷They knew not that of the Father he spake to them;

²⁸Jesus, therefore, said to them, `When ye may lift up the Son of Man then ye will know that I am [he]; and of myself I do nothing, but according as my Father did teach me, these things I speak;

²⁹and He who sent me is with me; the Father did not leave me alone, because I, the things pleasing to Him, do always.’

³⁰As he is speaking these things, many believed in him;

³¹Jesus, therefore, said unto the Jews who believed in him, `If ye may remain in my word, truly my disciples ye are, and ye shall know the truth,

³²and the truth shall make you free.’

³³They answered him, `Seed of Abraham we are; and to no one have we been servants at any time; how dost thou say — Ye shall become free?’

^{34 Jesus answered them, `Verily, verily, I say to you — Every one who is committing sin, is a servant of the sin,}

³⁵and the servant doth not remain in the house — to the age, the son doth remain — to the age;

³⁶if then the son may make you free, in reality ye shall be free.

³⁷`I have known that ye are seed of Abraham, but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you;

³⁸I — that which I have seen with my Father do speak, and ye, therefore, that which ye have seen with your father — ye do.’

³⁹They answered and said to him, `Our father is Abraham;’ Jesus saith to them, `If children of Abraham ye were, the works of Abraham ye were doing;

^{40 and now, ye seek to kill me — a man who hath spoken to you the truth I heard from God; this Abraham did not;}

⁴¹ye do the works of your father.’ They said, therefore, to him, `We of whoredom have not been born; one Father we have — God;’

⁴²Jesus then said to them, `If God were your father, ye were loving me, for I came forth from God, and am come; for neither have I come of myself, but He sent me;

⁴³wherefore do ye not know my speech? because ye are not able to hear my word.

^{44 `Ye are of a father — the devil, and the desires of your father ye will to do; he was a man-slayer from the beginning, and in the truth he hath not stood, because there is no truth in him; when one may speak the falsehood, of his own he speaketh, because he is a liar — also his father.}

⁴⁵`And because I say the truth, ye do not believe me.

⁴⁶Who of you doth convict me of sin? and if I speak truth, wherefore do ye not believe me?

⁴⁷he who is of God, the sayings of God he doth hear; because of this ye do not hear, because of God ye are not.’

⁴⁸The Jews, therefore, answered and said to him, `Do we not say well, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?’

⁴⁹Jesus answered, `I have not a demon, but I honour my Father, and ye dishonour me;

⁵⁰and I do not seek my own glory; there is who is seeking and is judging;

⁵¹verily, verily, I say to you, If any one may keep my word, death he may not see — to the age.’

^{52 The Jews, therefore, said to him, `Now we have known that thou hast a demon; Abraham did die, and the prophets, and thou dost say, If any one may keep my word, he shall not taste of death — to the age!}

⁵³Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who died? and the prophets died; whom dost thou make thyself?’

⁵⁴Jesus answered, `If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing; it is my Father who is glorifying me, of whom ye say that He is your God;

⁵⁵and ye have not known Him, and I have known Him, and if I say that I have not known Him, I shall be like you — speaking falsely; but I have known Him, and His word I keep;
