These [are] the words of the covenant which Jehovah hath commanded Moses – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry – These [are] the words of the covenant which Jehovah hath commanded Moses to make with the sons of Israel in the land of Moab, apart from the covenant which He made with them in Horeb.

^{2 And Moses calleth unto all Israel, and saith unto them, `Ye — ye have seen all that which Jehovah hath done before your eyes in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land;}

³the great trials which thine eyes have seen, the signs, and those great wonders;

⁴and Jehovah hath not given to you a heart to know, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, till this day,

⁵and I cause you to go forty years in a wilderness; your garments have not been consumed from off you, and thy shoe hath not worn away from off thy foot;

⁶bread ye have not eaten, and wine and strong drink ye have not drunk, so that ye know that I [am] Jehovah your God.

⁷`And ye come in unto this place, and Sihon king of Heshbon — also Og king of Bashan — doth come out to meet us, to battle, and we smite them,

⁸and take their land, and give it for an inheritance to the Reubenite, and to the Gadite, and to the half of the tribe of Manasseh;

⁹and ye have kept the words of this covenant, and done them, so that ye cause all that ye do to prosper.

¹⁰`Ye are standing to-day, all of you, before Jehovah your God — your heads, your tribes, your elders, and your authorities — every man of Israel;

¹¹your infants, your wives, and thy sojourner who [is] in the midst of thy camps, from the hewer of thy wood unto the drawer of thy water —

^{12 for thy passing over into the covenant of Jehovah thy God, and into His oath which Jehovah thy God is making with thee to-day;}

¹³in order to establish thee to-day to Him for a people, and He Himself is thy God, as He hath spoken to thee, and as He hath sworn to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.

¹⁴`And not with you alone am I making this covenant and this oath;

^{15 but with him who is here with us, standing to-day before Jehovah our God, and with him who is not here with us to-day,}

¹⁶for ye have known how ye dwelt in the land of Egypt, and how we passed by through the midst of the nations which ye have passed by;

¹⁷and ye see their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which [are] with them,

¹⁸lest there be among you a man or woman, or family or tribe, whose heart is turning to-day from Jehovah our God, to go to serve the gods of those nations, lest there be in you a root fruitful of gall and wormwood:

^{19 `And it hath been, in his hearing the words of this oath, and he hath blessed himself in his heart, saying, I have peace, though in the stubbornness of my heart I go on, in order to end the fulness with the thirst.}

^{20 Jehovah is not willing to be propitious to him, for then doth the anger of Jehovah smoke, also His zeal, against that man, and lain down on him hath all the oath which is written in this book, and Jehovah hath blotted out his name from under the heavens,}

²¹and Jehovah hath separated him for evil, out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the oaths of the covenant which is written in this book of the law.

^{22 `And the latter generation of your sons who rise after you, and the stranger who cometh in from a land afar off, have said when they have seen the strokes of that land, and its sicknesses which Jehovah hath sent into it, —}

²³([with] brimstone and salt is the whole land burnt, it is not sown, nor doth it shoot up, nor doth there go up on it any herb, like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboim, which Jehovah overturned in His anger, and in His fury,) —

^{24 yea, all the nations have said, Wherefore hath Jehovah done thus to this land? what the heat of this great anger?}

²⁵`And they have said, Because that they have forsaken the covenant of Jehovah, God of their fathers, which He made with them in His bringing them out of the land of Egypt,

²⁶and they go and serve other gods, and bow themselves to them — gods which they have not known, and which He hath not apportioned to them;

²⁷and the anger of Jehovah burneth against that land, to bring in on it all the reviling that is written in this book,

²⁸and Jehovah doth pluck them from off their ground in anger, and in fury, and in great wrath, and doth cast them unto another land, as [at] this day.

²⁹`The things hidden [are] to Jehovah our God, and the things revealed [are] to us and to our sons — to the age, to do all the words of this law. – Aslan International Ministry

And in the fourth watch of the night – ASLAN International Ministry

Matthew 14:25-3325 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went away to them, walking upon the sea,26 and the disciples having seen him walking upon the sea, were troubled saying — `It is an apparition,’ and from the fear they cried out;27 and immediately Jesus spake to them, saying, `Be of good courage, I am [he], be not afraid.’28 And Peter answering him said, `Sir, if it is thou, bid me come to thee upon the waters;’29 and he said, `Come;’ and having gone down from the boat, Peter walked upon the waters to come unto Jesus,30 but seeing the wind vehement, he was afraid, and having begun to sink, he cried out, saying, `Sir, save me.’31 And immediately Jesus, having stretched forth the hand, laid hold of him, and saith to him, `Little faith! for what didst thou waver?’32 and they having gone to the boat the wind lulled,33 and those in the boat having come, did bow to him, saying, `Truly — God’s Son art thou.’

And Moses goeth and speaketh these words unto all Israel, – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry – And Moses goeth and speaketh these words unto all Israel,

²and he saith unto them, `A son of a hundred and twenty years [am] I to-day; I am not able any more to go out and to come in, and Jehovah hath said unto me, Thou dost not pass over this Jordan,

^{3 `Jehovah thy God He is passing over before thee, He doth destroy these nations from before thee, and thou hast possessed them; Joshua — he is passing over before thee as Jehovah hath spoken,}

⁴and Jehovah hath done to them as he hath done to Sihon and to Og, kings of the Amorite, and to their land, whom He destroyed.

⁵And Jehovah hath given them before your face, and ye have done to them according to all the command which I have commanded you;

^{6 be strong and courageous, fear not, nor be terrified because of them, for Jehovah thy God [is] He who is going with thee; He doth not fail thee nor forsake thee.’}

^{7 And Moses calleth for Joshua, and saith unto him before the eyes of all Israel, `Be strong and courageous, for thou — thou dost go in with this people unto the land which Jehovah hath sworn to their fathers to give to them, and thou — thou dost cause them to inherit it;}

⁸and Jehovah [is] He who is going before thee, He himself is with thee; He doth not fail thee nor forsake thee; fear not, nor be affrighted.’

^{9 And Moses writeth this law, and giveth it unto the priests (sons of Levi, those bearing the ark of the covenant of Jehovah), and unto all the elders of Israel,}

^{10 and Moses commandeth them, saying, `At the end of seven years, in the appointed time, the year of release, in the feast of booths,}

¹¹in the coming in of all Israel to see the face of Jehovah in the place which He chooseth, thou dost proclaim this law before all Israel, in their ears.

¹²`Assemble the people, the men, and the women, and the infants, and thy sojourner who [is] within thy gates, so that they hear, and so that they learn, and have feared Jehovah your God, and observed to do all the words of this law;

¹³and their sons, who have not known, do hear, and have learned to fear Jehovah your God all the days which ye are living on the ground whither ye are passing over the Jordan to possess it.’

^{14 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Lo, thy days have drawn near to die; call Joshua, and station yourselves in the tent of meeting, and I charge him;’ and Moses goeth — Joshua also — and they station themselves in the tent of meeting,}

¹⁵and Jehovah is seen in the tent, in a pillar of a cloud; and the pillar of the cloud standeth at the opening of the tent.

^{16 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Lo, thou art lying down with thy fathers, and this people hath risen, and gone a-whoring after the gods of the stranger of the land into the midst of which it hath entered, and forsaken Me, and broken My covenant which I made with it;}

^{17 and Mine anger hath burned against it in that day, and I have forsaken them, and hidden My face from them, and it hath been for consumption, and many evils and distresses have found it, and it hath said in that day, Is it not because that my God is not in my midst — these evils have found me?}

¹⁸and I certainly hide My face in that day for all the evil which it hath done, for it hath turned unto other gods.

¹⁹`And now, write for you this song, and teach it the sons of Israel; put it in their mouths, so that this song is to Me for a witness against the sons of Israel,

²⁰and I bring them in unto the ground which I have sworn to their fathers — flowing with milk and honey, and they have eaten, and been satisfied, and been fat, and have turned unto other gods, and they have served them, and despised Me, and broken My covenant.

²¹`And it hath been, when many evils and distresses do meet it, that this song hath testified to its face for a witness; for it is not forgotten out of the mouth of its seed, for I have known its imagining which it is doing to-day, before I bring them in unto the land of which I have sworn.’

²²And Moses writeth this song on that day, and doth teach it the sons of Israel,

²³and He commandeth Joshua son of Nun, and saith, `Be strong and courageous, for thou dost bring in the sons of Israel unto the land which I have sworn to them, and I — I am with thee.’

^{24 And it cometh to pass, when Moses finisheth to write the words of this law on a book till their completion,}

²⁵that Moses commandeth the Levites bearing the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, saying,

^{26 `Take this Book of the Law, and thou hast set it on the side of the ark of the covenant of Jehovah your God, and it hath been there against thee for a witness;}

²⁷for I — I have known thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck; lo, in my being yet alive with you to-day, rebellious ye have been with Jehovah, and also surely after my death.

^{28 `Assemble unto me all the elders of your tribes, and your authorities, and I speak in their ears these words, and cause to testify against them the heavens and the earth,}

²⁹for I have known that after my death ye do very corruptly, and have turned aside out of the way which I commanded you, and evil hath met you in the latter end of the days, because ye do the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, to make Him angry with the work of your hands.’

^{30 And Moses speaketh in the ears of all the assembly of Israel the words of this song, till their completion: — – Aslan International Ministry}

`When Jehovah thy God doth cut off the nations, – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry – `When Jehovah thy God doth cut off the nations, whose land Jehovah thy God is giving to thee, and thou hast succeeded them, and dwelt in their cities, and in their houses,

²three cities thou dost separate for thee in the midst of thy land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee to possess it.

^{3 Thou dost prepare for thee the way, and hast divided into three parts the border of thy land which Jehovah thy God doth cause thee to inherit, and it hath been for the fleeing thither of every man-slayer.}

⁴`And this [is] the matter of the man-slayer who fleeth thither, and hath lived: He who smiteth his neighbour unknowingly, and is not hating him heretofore,

^{5 even he who cometh in with his neighbour into a forest to hew wood, and his hand hath driven with an axe to cut the tree, and the iron hath slipped from the wood, and hath met his neighbour, and he hath died — he doth flee unto one of these cities, and hath lived,}

⁶lest the redeemer of blood pursue after the man-slayer when his heart is hot, and hath overtaken him (because the way is great), and hath smitten him — the life, and he hath no sentence of death, for he is not hating him heretofore;

^{7 therefore I am commanding thee, saying, Three cities thou dost separate to thee.}

^{8 `And if Jehovah thy God doth enlarge thy border, as He hath sworn to thy fathers, and hath given to thee all the land which He hath spoken to give to thy fathers —}

^{9 when thou keepest all this command to do it, which I am commanding thee to-day, to love Jehovah thy God, and to walk in His ways all the days — then thou hast added to thee yet three cities to these three;}

^{10 and innocent blood is not shed in the midst of thy land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee — an inheritance, and there hath been upon thee blood.}

¹¹`And when a man is hating his neighbour, and hath lain in wait for him, and risen against him, and smitten him — the life, and he hath died, and he hath fled unto one of these cities,

¹²then the elders of his city have sent and taken him from thence, and given him into the hand of the redeemer of blood, and he hath died;

¹³thine eye hath no pity on him, and thou hast put away the innocent blood from Israel, and it is well with thee.

^{14 `Thou dost not remove a border of thy neighbour, which they of former times have made, in thine inheritance, which thou dost inherit in the land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee to possess it.}

¹⁵`One witness doth not rise against a man for any iniquity, and for any sin, in any sin which he sinneth; by the mouth of two witnesses, or by the mouth of three witnesses, is a thing established.

¹⁶`When a violent witness doth rise against a man, to testify against him apostacy,

^{17 then have both the men who have the strife stood before Jehovah, before the priests and the judges who are in those days,}

¹⁸and the judges have searched diligently, and lo, the witness [is] a false witness, a falsehood he hath testified against his brother:

^{19 `Then ye have done to him as he devised to do to his brother, and thou hast put away the evil thing out of thy midst,}

²⁰and those who are left do hear and fear, and add not to do any more according to this evil thing in thy midst;

^{21 and thine eye doth not pity — life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot. – 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;

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}

`Thou dost not see the ox of thy brother or his sheep driven away, – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry – `Thou dost not see the ox of thy brother or his sheep driven away, and hast hidden thyself from them, thou dost certainly turn them back to thy brother;

²and if thy brother [is] not near unto thee, and thou hast not known him, then thou hast removed it unto the midst of thy house, and it hath been with thee till thy brother seek it, and thou hast given it back to him;

^{3 and so thou dost to his ass, and so thou dost to his garment, and so thou dost to any lost thing of thy brother’s, which is lost by him, and thou hast found it; thou art not able to hide thyself.}

^{4 `Thou dost not see the ass of thy brother, or his ox, falling in the way, and hast hid thyself from them; thou dost certainly raise [them] up with him.}

^{5 `The habiliments of a man are not on a woman, nor doth a man put on the garment of a woman, for the abomination of Jehovah thy God [is] any one doing these.}

⁶`When a bird’s nest cometh before thee in the way, in any tree, or on the earth, brood or eggs, and the mother sitting on the brood or on the eggs, thou dost not take the mother with the young ones;

⁷thou dost certainly send away the mother, and the young ones dost take to thyself, so that it is well with thee, and thou hast prolonged days.

^{8 `When thou buildest a new house, then thou hast made a parapet to thy roof, and thou dost not put blood on thy house when one falleth from it.}

⁹`Thou dost not sow thy vineyard [with] divers things, lest the fulness of the seed which thou dost sow, and the increase of the vineyard, be separated.

¹⁰`Thou dost not plow with an ox and with an ass together.

¹¹`Thou dost not put on a mixed cloth, wool and linen together.

^{12 `Fringes thou dost make to thee on the four skirts of thy covering with which thou dost cover [thyself].}

^{13 `When a man taketh a wife, and hath gone in unto her, and hated her,}

¹⁴and laid against her actions of words, and brought out against her an evil name, and said, This woman I have taken, and I draw near unto her, and I have not found in her tokens of virginity:

¹⁵`Then hath the father of the damsel — and her mother — taken and brought out the tokens of virginity of the damsel unto the elders of the city in the gate,

¹⁶and the father of the damsel hath said unto the elders, My daughter I have given to this man for a wife, and he doth hate her;

¹⁷and lo, he hath laid actions of words, saying, I have not found to thy daughter tokens of virginity — and these [are] the tokens of the virginity of my daughter! and they have spread out the garment before the elders of the city.

¹⁸`And the elders of that city have taken the man, and chastise him,

¹⁹and fined him a hundred silverlings, and given to the father of the damsel, because he hath brought out an evil name on a virgin of Israel, and she is to him for a wife, he is not able to send her away all his days.

²⁰`And if this thing hath been truth — tokens of virginity have not been found for the damsel —

²¹then they have brought out the damsel unto the opening of her father’s house, and stoned her have the men of her city with stones, and she hath died, for she hath done folly in Israel, to go a-whoring [in] her father’s house; and thou hast put away the evil thing out of thy midst.

²²`When a man is found lying with a woman, married to a husband, then they have died even both of them, the man who is lying with the woman, also the woman; and thou hast put away the evil thing out of Israel.

^{23 `When there is a damsel, a virgin, betrothed to a man, and a man hath found her in a city, and lain with her;}

²⁴then ye have brought them both out unto the gate of that city, and stoned them with stones, and they have died: — the damsel, because that she hath not cried, [being] in a city; and the man, because that he hath humbled his neighbour’s wife; and thou hast put away the evil thing out of thy midst.

²⁵`And if in a field the man find the damsel who is betrothed, and the man hath laid hold on her, and lain with her, then hath the man who hath lain with her died alone;

²⁶and to the damsel thou dost not do anything, the damsel hath no deadly sin; for as a man riseth against his neighbour and hath murdered him — the life, so [is] this thing;

²⁷for in a field he found her, she hath cried — the damsel who is betrothed — and she hath no saviour.

²⁸`When a man findeth a damsel, a virgin who is not betrothed, and hath caught her, and lain with her, and they have been found,

²⁹then hath the man who is lying with her given to the father of the damsel fifty silverlings, and to him she is for a wife; because that he hath humbled her, he is not able to send her away all his days.

These things having said – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry – 18 These things having said, Jesus went forth with his disciples beyond the brook of Kedron, where was a garden, into which he entered, himself and his disciples,

²and Judas also, who delivered him up, had known the place, because many times did Jesus assemble there with his disciples.

³Judas, therefore, having taken the band and officers out of the chief priests and Pharisees, doth come thither with torches and lamps, and weapons;

⁴Jesus, therefore, knowing all things that are coming upon him, having gone forth, said to them, `Whom do ye seek?’

⁵they answered him, `Jesus the Nazarene;’ Jesus saith to them, `I am [he];’ — and Judas who delivered him up was standing with them; —

⁶when, therefore, he said to them — `I am [he],’ they went away backward, and fell to the ground.

⁷Again, therefore, he questioned them, `Whom do ye seek?’ and they said, `Jesus the Nazarene;’

⁸Jesus answered, `I said to you that I am [he]; if, then, me ye seek, suffer these to go away;’

⁹that the word might be fulfilled that he said — `Those whom Thou hast given to me, I did not lose of them even one.’

¹⁰Simon Peter, therefore, having a sword, drew it, and struck the chief priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear — and the name of the servant was Malchus —

¹¹Jesus, therefore, said to Peter, `Put the sword into the sheath; the cup that the Father hath given to me, may I not drink it?’

¹²The band, therefore, and the captain, and the officers of the Jews, took hold on Jesus, and bound him,

¹³and they led him away to Annas first, for he was father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was chief priest of that year,

¹⁴and Caiaphas was he who gave counsel to the Jews, that it is good for one man to perish for the people.

^{15 And following Jesus was Simon Peter, and the other disciple, and that disciple was known to the chief priest, and he entered with Jesus to the hall of the chief priest,}

¹⁶and Peter was standing at the door without, therefore went forth the other disciple who was known to the chief priest, and he spake to the female keeping the door, and he brought in Peter.

¹⁷Then said the maid keeping the door to Peter, `Art thou also of the disciples of this man?’ he saith, `I am not;’

¹⁸and the servants and the officers were standing, having made a fire of coals, because it was cold, and they were warming themselves, and Peter was standing with them, and warming himself.

¹⁹The chief priests, therefore, questioned Jesus concerning his disciples, and concerning his teaching;

²⁰Jesus answered him, `I spake freely to the world, I did always teach in a synagogue, and in the temple, where the Jews do always come together; and in secret I spake nothing;

^{21 why me dost thou question? question those having heard what I spake to them; lo, these have known what I said.’}

²²And he having said these things, one of the officers standing by did give Jesus a slap, saying, `Thus dost thou answer the chief priest?’

²³Jesus answered him, `If I spake ill, testify concerning the ill; and if well, why me dost thou smite?’

²⁴Annas then sent him bound to Caiaphas the chief priest.

²⁵And Simon Peter was standing and warming himself, they said then to him, `Art thou also of his disciples?’ he denied, and said, `I am not.’

²⁶One of the servants of the chief priest, being kinsman of him whose ear Peter cut off, saith, `Did not I see thee in the garden with him?’

²⁷again, therefore, Peter denied, and immediately a cock crew.

²⁸They led, therefore, Jesus from Caiaphas to the praetorium, and it was early, and they themselves did not enter into the praetorium, that they might not be defiled, but that they might eat the passover;

²⁹Pilate, therefore, went forth unto them, and said, `What accusation do ye bring against this man?’

³⁰they answered and said to him, `If he were not an evil doer, we had not delivered him to thee.’

³¹Pilate, therefore, said to them, `Take ye him — ye — and according to your law judge him;’ the Jews, therefore, said to him, `It is not lawful to us to put any one to death;’

³²that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled which he said, signifying by what death he was about to die.

³³Pilate, therefore, entered into the praetorium again, and called Jesus, and said to him, `Thou art the King of the Jews?’

^{34 Jesus answered him, `From thyself dost thou say this? or did others say it to thee about me?’}

³⁵Pilate answered, `Am I a Jew? thy nation, and the chief priests did deliver thee up to me; what didst thou?’

³⁶Jesus answered, `My kingdom is not of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, my officers had struggled that I might not be delivered up to Jews; but now my kingdom is not from hence.’

^{37 Pilate, therefore, said to him, `Art thou then a king?’ Jesus answered, `Thou dost say [it]; because a king I am, I for this have been born, and for this I have come to the world, that I may testify to the truth; every one who is of the truth, doth hear my voice.’}

³⁸Pilate saith to him, `What is truth?’ and this having said, again he went forth unto the Jews, and saith to them, `I do find no fault in him;

³⁹and ye have a custom that I shall release to you one in the passover; will ye, therefore, [that] I shall release to you the king of the Jews?’

⁴⁰therefore they all cried out again, saying, `Not this one — but Barabbas;’ and Barabbas was a robber. – 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

And passing by, he saw a man blind from birth – ASLAN International Ministry

Aslan International Ministry – 9 And passing by, he saw a man blind from birth,

²and his disciples asked him, saying, `Rabbi, who did sin, this one or his parents, that he should be born blind?’

³Jesus answered, `Neither did this one sin nor his parents, but that the works of God may be manifested in him;

⁴it behoveth me to be working the works of Him who sent me while it is day; night doth come, when no one is able to work: —

⁵when I am in the world, I am a light of the world.’

⁶These things saying, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and rubbed the clay on the eyes of the blind man, and said to him,

⁷`Go away, wash at the pool of Siloam,’ which is, interpreted, Sent. He went away, therefore, and did wash, and came seeing;

⁸the neighbours, therefore, and those seeing him before, that he was blind, said, `Is not this he who is sitting and begging?’

⁹others said — `This is he;’ and others — `He is like to him;’ he himself said, — `I am [he].’

¹⁰They said, therefore, to him, `How were thine eyes opened?’

¹¹he answered and said, `A man called Jesus made clay, and rubbed my eyes, and said to me, Go away to the pool of Siloam, and wash; and having gone away and having washed, I received sight;’

¹²they said, therefore, to him, `Where is that one?’ he saith, `I have not known.’

¹³They bring him to the Pharisees who once [was] blind,

¹⁴and it was a sabbath when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.

¹⁵Again, therefore, the Pharisees also were asking him how he received sight, and he said to them, `Clay he did put upon my eyes, and I did wash — and I see.’

¹⁶Of the Pharisees, therefore, certain said, `This man is not from God, because the sabbath he doth not keep;’ others said, `How is a man — a sinful one — able to do such signs?’ and there was a division among them.

¹⁷They said to the blind man again, `Thou — what dost thou say of him — that he opened thine eyes?’

¹⁸and he said — `He is a prophet.’ The Jews, therefore, did not believe concerning him that he was blind and did receive sight, till that they called the parents of him who received sight,

^{19 and they asked them, saying, `Is your son, of whom ye say that he was born blind? how then now doth he see?’}

²⁰His parents answered them and said, `We have known that this is our son, and that he was born blind;

²¹and how he now seeth, we have not known; or who opened his eyes, we have not known; himself is of age, ask him; he himself shall speak concerning himself.’

²²These things said his parents, because they were afraid of the Jews, for already had the Jews agreed together, that if any one may confess him — Christ, he may be put out of the synagogue;

²³because of this his parents said — `He is of age, ask him.’

²⁴They called, therefore, a second time the man who was blind, and they said to him, `Give glory to God, we have known that this man is a sinner;’

²⁵he answered, therefore, and said, `If he be a sinner — I have not known, one thing I have known, that, being blind, now I see.’

²⁶And they said to him again, `What did he to thee? how did he open thine eyes?’

²⁷He answered them, `I told you already, and ye did not hear; why again do ye wish to hear? do ye also wish to become his disciples?’

²⁸They reviled him, therefore, and said, `Thou art his disciple, and we are Moses’ disciples;

²⁹we have known that God hath spoken to Moses, but this one — we have not known whence he is.’

³⁰The man answered and said to them, `Why, in this is a wonderful thing, that ye have not known whence he is, and he opened my eyes!

^{31 and we have known that God doth not hear sinners, but, if any one may be a worshipper of God, and may do His will, him He doth hear;}

³²from the age it was not heard, that any one did open eyes of one who hath been born blind;

³³if this one were not from God, he were not able to do anything.’

^{34 They answered and said to him, `In sins thou wast born altogether, and thou dost teach us!’ and they cast him forth without.}

³⁵Jesus heard that they cast him forth without, and having found him, he said to him, `Dost thou believe in the Son of God?’

³⁶he answered and said, `Who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?’

³⁷And Jesus said to him, `Thou hast both seen him, and he who is speaking with thee is he;’

³⁸and he said, `I believe, sir,’ and bowed before him.

³⁹And Jesus said, `For judgment I to this world did come, that those not seeing may see, and those seeing may become blind.’

⁴⁰And those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and they said to him, `Are we also blind?’

^{41 Jesus said to them, `If ye were blind, ye were not having had sin, but now ye say — We see, therefore doth your sin remain. – 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}
