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;

⁵⁶Abraham, your father, was glad that he might see my day; and he saw, and did rejoice.’

⁵⁷The Jews, therefore, said unto him, `Thou art not yet fifty years old, and Abraham hast thou seen?’

⁵⁸Jesus said to them, `Verily, verily, I say to you, Before Abraham’s coming — I am;’

^{59 they took up, therefore, stones that they may cast at him, but Jesus hid himself, and went forth out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by. – Aslan International Ministry}

And it hath been, if thou dost hearken diligently – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry – `And it hath been, if thou dost hearken diligently to the voice of Jehovah thy God, to observe to do all His commands which I am commanding thee to-day, that Jehovah thy God hath made thee uppermost above all the nations of the earth,

^{2 and all these blessings have come upon thee, and overtaken thee, because thou dost hearken to the voice of Jehovah thy God:}

³`Blessed [art] thou in the city, and blessed [art] thou in the field.

⁴`Blessed [is] the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, increase of thine oxen, and wealth of thy flock.

⁵`Blessed [is] thy basket and thy kneading-trough.

⁶`Blessed [art] thou in thy coming in, and blessed [art] thou in thy going out.

^{7 `Jehovah giveth thine enemies, who are rising up against thee — smitten before thy face; in one way they come out unto thee, and in seven ways they flee before thee.}

^{8 `Jehovah commandeth with thee the blessing in thy storehouses, and in every putting forth of thy hand, and hath blessed thee in the land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee.}

⁹`Jehovah doth establish thee to Himself for a holy people, as He hath sworn to thee, when thou keepest the commands of Jehovah thy God, and hast walked in His ways;

¹⁰and all the peoples of the land have seen that the name of Jehovah is called upon thee, and they have been afraid of thee.

^{11 `And Jehovah hath made thee abundant in good, in the fruit of the womb, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, on the ground which Jehovah hath sworn to thy fathers to give to thee.}

^{12 `Jehovah doth open to thee his good treasure — the heavens — to give the rain of thy land in its season, and to bless all the work of thy hand, and thou hast lent to many nations, and thou — thou dost not borrow.}

^{13 `And Jehovah hath given thee for head, and not for tail; and thou hast been only above, and art not beneath, for thou dost hearken unto the commands of Jehovah thy God, which I am commanding thee to-day, to keep and to do,}

¹⁴and thou dost not turn aside from all the words which I am commanding you to-day — right or left — to go after other gods, to serve them.

^{15 `And it hath been, if thou dost not hearken unto the voice of Jehovah thy God to observe to do all His commands, and His statutes, which I am commanding thee to-day, that all these revilings have come upon thee, and overtaken thee:}

¹⁶`Cursed [art] thou in the city, and cursed [art] thou in the field.

¹⁷`Cursed [is] thy basket and thy kneading-trough.

¹⁸`Cursed [is] the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, increase of thine oxen, and wealth of thy flock.

¹⁹`Cursed [art] thou in thy coming in, and cursed [art] thou in thy going out.

^{20 `Jehovah doth send on thee the curse, the trouble, and the rebuke, in every putting forth of thy hand which thou dost, till thou art destroyed, and till thou perish hastily, because of the evil of thy doings [by] which thou hast forsaken Me.}

²¹`Jehovah doth cause to cleave to thee the pestilence, till He consume thee from off the ground whither thou art going in to possess it.

²²`Jehovah doth smite thee with consumption, and with fever, and with inflammation, and with extreme burning, and with sword, and with blasting, and with mildew, and they have pursued thee till thou perish

²³`And thy heavens which [are] over thy head have been brass, and the earth which [is] under thee iron;

²⁴Jehovah giveth the rain of thy land — dust and ashes; from the heavens it cometh down on thee till thou art destroyed.

²⁵`Jehovah giveth thee smitten before thine enemies; in one way thou goest out unto them, and in seven ways dost flee before them, and thou hast been for a trembling to all kingdoms of the earth;

²⁶and thy carcase hath been for food to every fowl of the heavens, and to the beast of the earth, and there is none causing trembling.

²⁷`Jehovah doth smite thee with the ulcer of Egypt, and with emerods, and with scurvy, and with itch, of which thou art not able to be healed.

²⁸`Jehovah doth smite thee with madness, and with blindness, and with astonishment of heart;

^{29 and thou hast been gropling at noon, as the blind gropeth in darkness; and thou dost not cause thy ways to prosper; and thou hast been only oppressed and plundered all the days, and there is no saviour.}

^{30 `A woman thou dost betroth, and another man doth lie with her; a house thou dost build, and dost not dwell in it; a vineyard thou dost plant, and dost not make it common;}

³¹thine ox [is] slaughtered before thine eyes, and thou dost not eat of it; thine ass [is] taken violently away from before thee, and it is not given back to thee; thy sheep [are] given to thine enemies, and there is no saviour for thee.

^{32 `Thy sons and thy daughters [are] given to another people, and thine eyes are looking and consuming for them all the day, and thy hand is not to God!}

³³The fruit of thy ground, and all thy labour, eat up doth a people whom thou hast not known; and thou hast been only oppressed and bruised all the days;

³⁴and thou hast been mad, because of the sight of thine eyes which thou dost see.

³⁵`Jehovah doth smite thee with an evil ulcer, on the knees, and on the legs (of which thou art not able to be healed), from the sole of thy foot even unto thy crown.

³⁶`Jehovah doth cause thee to go, and thy king whom thou raisest up over thee, unto a nation which thou hast not known, thou and thy fathers, and thou hast served there other gods, wood and stone;

³⁷and thou hast been for an astonishment, for a simile, and for a byword among all the peoples whither Jehovah doth lead thee.

^{38 `Much seed thou dost take out into the field, and little thou dost gather in, for the locust doth consume it;}

³⁹vineyards thou dost plant, and hast laboured, and wine thou dost not drink nor gather, for the worm doth consume it;

⁴⁰olives are to thee in all thy border, and oil thou dost not pour out, for thine olive doth fall off.

⁴¹`Sons and daughters thou dost beget, and they are not with thee, for they go into captivity;

⁴²all thy trees and the fruit of thy ground doth the locust possess;

⁴³the sojourner who [is] in thy midst goeth up above thee very high, and thou goest down very low;

⁴⁴he doth lend [to] thee, and thou dost not lend [to] him; he is for head, and thou art for tail.

^{45 `And come upon thee have all these curses, and they have pursued thee, and overtaken thee, till thou art destroyed, because thou hast not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah thy God, to keep His commands, and His statutes, which he hath commanded thee;}

⁴⁶and they have been on thee for a sign and for a wonder, also on thy seed — to the age.

^{47 `Because that thou hast not served Jehovah thy God with joy, and with gladness of heart, because of the abundance of all things —}

⁴⁸thou hast served thine enemies, whom Jehovah sendeth against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in lack of all things; and he hath put a yoke of iron on thy neck, till He hath destroyed thee.

⁴⁹`Jehovah doth lift up against thee a nation, from afar, from the end of the earth, as the eagle it flieth; a nation whose tongue thou hast not heard,

⁵⁰a nation — fierce of countenance — which accepteth not the face of the aged, and the young doth not favour;

⁵¹and it hath eaten the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy ground, till thou art destroyed; which leaveth not to thee corn, new wine, and oil, increase of thine oxen, and wealth of thy flock, till it hath destroyed thee.

^{52 `And it hath laid siege to thee in all thy gates, till thy walls come down, the high and the fenced ones in which thou art trusting, in all thy land; yea, it hath laid siege to thee in all thy gates, in all thy land, which Jehovah thy God hath given to thee;}

⁵³and thou hast eaten the fruit of thy body, flesh of thy sons and thy daughters (whom Jehovah thy God hath given to thee), in the siege, and in the straitness with which thine enemies do straiten thee.

⁵⁴`The man who is tender in thee, and who [is] very delicate — his eye is evil against his brother, and against the wife of his bosom, and against the remnant of his sons whom he leaveth,

⁵⁵against giving to one of them of the flesh of his sons whom he eateth, because he hath nothing left to him, in the siege, and in the straitness with which thine enemy doth straiten thee in all thy gates.

⁵⁶`The tender woman in thee, and the delicate, who hath not tried the sole of her foot to place on the ground because of delicateness and because of tenderness — her eye is evil against the husband of her bosom, and against her son, and against her daughter,

⁵⁷and against her seed which cometh out from between her feet, even against her sons whom she doth bear, for she doth eat them for the lacking of all things in secret, in the siege and in the straitness with which thine enemy doth straiten thee within thy gates.

⁵⁸`If thou dost not observe to do all the words of this law which are written in this book, to fear this honoured and fearful name — Jehovah thy God —

⁵⁹then hath Jehovah made wonderful thy strokes, and the strokes of thy seed — great strokes, and stedfast, and evil sicknesses, and stedfast.

⁶⁰`And He hath brought back on thee all the diseases of Egypt, of the presence of which thou hast been afraid, and they have cleaved to thee;

⁶¹also every sickness and every stroke which is not written in the book of this law; Jehovah doth cause them to go up upon thee till thou art destroyed,

⁶²and ye have been left with few men, instead of which ye have been as stars of the heavens for multitude, because thou hast not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah thy God.

⁶³`And it hath been, as Jehovah hath rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you, so doth Jehovah rejoice over you to destroy you, and to lay you waste; and ye have been pulled away from off the ground whither thou art going in to possess it;

⁶⁴and Jehovah hath scattered thee among all the peoples, from the end of the earth even unto the end of the earth; and thou hast served there other gods which thou hast not known, thou and thy fathers — wood and stone.

⁶⁵`And among those nations thou dost not rest, yea, there is no resting-place for the sole of thy foot, and Jehovah hath given to thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and grief of soul;

⁶⁶and thy life hath been hanging in suspense before thee, and thou hast been afraid by night and by day, and dost not believe in thy life;

⁶⁷in the morning thou sayest, O that it were evening! and in the evening thou sayest, O that it were morning! from the fear of thy heart, with which thou art afraid, and from the sight of thine eyes which thou seest.

^{68 `And Jehovah hath brought thee back to Egypt with ships, by a way of which I said to thee, Thou dost not add any more to see it, and ye have sold yourselves there to thine enemies, for men-servants and for maid-servants, and there is no buyer.’ – 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 thou hast loved Jehovah thy God, and kept His charge – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry – `And thou hast loved Jehovah thy God, and kept His charge, and His statutes, and His judgments, and His commands, all the days;

²and ye have known to-day — for it is not your sons who have not known, and who have not seen the chastisement of Jehovah your God, His greatness, His strong hand, and His stretched-out arm,

³and His signs, and His doings, which He hath done in the midst of Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to all his land;

⁴and that which He hath done to the force of Egypt, to its horses, and to its chariot, when He hath caused the waters of the Red Sea to flow against their faces in their pursuing after them, and Jehovah destroyeth them, unto this day;

⁵and that which He hath done to you in the wilderness, till your coming in unto this place;

⁶and that which He hath done to Dathan, and to Abiram, sons of Eliab, sons of Reuben, when the earth hath opened her mouth and swalloweth them, and their houses, and their tents, and all that liveth, which is at their feet, in the midst of all Israel:

⁷`– But [it is] your eyes which are seeing all the great work of Jehovah, which He hath done;

⁸and ye have kept all the command which I am commanding thee to-day, so that ye are strong, and have gone in, and possessed the land whither ye are passing over to possess it,

^{9 and so that ye prolong days on the ground which Jehovah hath sworn to your fathers to give to them and to their seed — a land flowing with milk and honey.}

^{10 `For the land whither thou art going in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt whence ye have come out, where thou sowest thy seed, and hast watered with thy foot, as a garden of the green herb;}

¹¹but the land whither ye are passing over to possess it, [is] a land of hills and valleys; of the rain of the heavens it drinketh water;

^{12 a land which Jehovah thy God is searching; continually [are] the eyes of Jehovah thy God upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the latter end of the year.}

^{13 `And it hath been — if thou hearken diligently unto My commands which I am commanding you to-day, to love Jehovah your God, and to serve Him with all your heart, and with all your soul —}

^{14 that I have given the rain of your land in its season — sprinkling and gathered — and thou hast gathered thy corn, and thy new wine, and thine oil,}

¹⁵and I have given herbs in thy field for thy cattle, and thou hast eaten, and been satisfied.

¹⁶`Take heed to yourselves, lest your heart be enticed, and ye have turned aside, and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to them,

^{17 and the anger of Jehovah hath burned against you, and He hath restrained the heavens, and there is no rain, and the ground doth not give her increase, and ye have perished hastily from off the good land which Jehovah is giving to you.}

¹⁸`And ye have placed these my words on your heart, and on your soul, and have bound them for a sign on your hand, and they have been for frontlets between your eyes;

^{19 and ye have taught them to your sons, by speaking of them in thy sitting in thy house, and in thy going in the way, and in thy lying down, and in thy rising up,}

²⁰and hast written them on the side-posts of thy house, and on thy gates,

²¹so that your days are multiplied, and the days of your sons, on the ground which Jehovah hath sworn to your fathers to give to them, as the days of the heavens on the earth.

²²`For, if ye diligently keep all this command which I am commanding you — to do it, to love Jehovah your God, to walk in all His ways, and to cleave to Him,

^{23 then hath Jehovah dispossessed all these nations from before you, and ye have possessed nations, greater and mightier than you;}

²⁴every place on which the sole of your foot treadeth is yours; from the wilderness, and Lebanon, from the river, the river Phrat, even unto the farther sea is your border;

²⁵no man doth station himself in your presence; your dread and your fear doth Jehovah your God put on the face of all the land on which ye tread, as He hath spoken to you.

²⁶`See, I am setting before you to-day a blessing and a reviling:

^{27 the blessing, when ye hearken unto the commands of Jehovah your God, which I am commanding you to-day;}

^{28 and the reviling, if ye do not hearken unto the commands of Jehovah your God, and have turned aside out of the way which I am commanding you to-day, to go after other gods which ye have not known.}

^{29 `And it hath been, when Jehovah thy God doth bring thee in unto the land whither thou art going in to possess it, that thou hast given the blessing on mount Gerizim, and the reviling on mount Ebal;}

³⁰are they not beyond the Jordan, behind the way of the going in of the sun, in the land of the Canaanite, who is dwelling in the plain over-against Gilgal, near the oaks of Moreh?

^{31 for ye are passing over the Jordan to go in to possess the land which Jehovah your God is giving to you; and ye have possessed it, and dwelt in it,}

^{32 and observed to do all the statutes and the judgments which I am setting before you to day. – Aslan International Ministry}
