 8:33 They say to him: We are the seed of Abraham, and never were in servitude to any man; and how sayest thou, Ye will be freemen?

 8:34 Jeshu saith to them, Amen I tell you, Whoever doeth sin is the servant of sin.

 8:34 Jesus said to them: Verily, verily, I say to you, That whoever committeth sin, is the servant of sin.

 8:35 And the servant abideth not for ever in the house, but the Son for ever abideth.

 8:40 But now you seek to kill me, the man who the truth has spoken with you, which I have heard from Aloha. This Abraham did not.

 8:40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man who hath told you the truth, which I have heard from God: this did not Abraham.

 8:41 But you do the deeds of your father. They say to him, We from fornication are not; one Father have we, Aloha.

 8:41 But ye do the works of your father. They say to him: We are not [the offspring] of whoredom; we have one Father, God.

 8:42 Jeshu saith to them, If Aloha were your Father, you would love me; for I from Aloha came forth, and I came not of myself, but he sent me.

 8:44 You are from your father the accuser, and the desires of your father you are willing to do. He from the beginning was the killer of men, and in the truth he stood not; therefore the truth is not in him. And when he speaketh a lie, of his own he speaketh, because of falsity he is also the father.

 8:44 Ye are of your father, the calumniator; and the lust of your father ye are disposed to do. He was from the beginning a manslayer, and abode not in the truth; for the truth is not in him, and when he speaketh a lie he speaketh from himself, for he is a liar, and the father of it.

 8:45 But I (speak the truth, and) because the truth I speak, you believe me not.

 8:45 But me, because I speak the truth, ye believe me not.

 8:46 Who of you convicteth me of sin? Yet if the truth I speak, why do you not believe me?

 8:46 Which of you convicteth me of sin? And if I speak the truth, why do ye not believe me?

 8:47 He who is of Aloha the words of Aloha heareth: therefore you hear not, because you are not of Aloha.

 8:47 He that is of God, heareth the words of God. Therefore ye do not hear, because ye are not of God.

 8:48 The Jihudoyee answered and say to him, Did we not well say, Thou art a Shomroya, and hast a devil?

 8:48 The Jews answered, and said to him: Did we not well say, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?

 8:49 Jeshu said to them, I have no devil; but my Father I honour, and you debase me.

 8:49 Jesus said to them: I have no demon: but I honor God; and ye contemn me.

 8:50 But I seek not my own glory; He is, who seeketh and judgeth.

 8:50 But I seek not my own glory: there is one that seeketh [it], and judgeth.

 8:51 Amen, amen, I say to you, That he who my word keepeth, death shall not see for ever.

 8:51 Verily, verily, I say to you: He that keepeth my word, will never see death.

 8:52 The Jihudoyee say to him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, that he who thy word keepeth, death shall not taste for ever.

 8:52 The Jews say to him: Now we know, that thou hast a demon. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; yet thou sayest: He that keepeth my word, will never taste death.

 8:53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead; and than the prophets, who are dead? What makest thou thyself?

 8:53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham who is dead, or than the prophets who died? What dost thou make thyself?

 8:54 Jeshu said to them, If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing: it is my Father who glorifieth me; he, of whom you say that he is your God.

 8:54 Jesus said to them: If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father that glorifieth me, of whom ye say, He is our God.

 8:55 But you know him not; but I know him: and should I say that I know him not, I should be a liar like you. But I know him, and keep his words.

 8:55 And ye know him not. But I know him; and if I should say, I know him not, I should be a liar, like you: but I do know him, and I observe his word.

 8:56 Abraham, your father, desired to see my day, and he saw, and was glad.

 8:56 Abraham your father desired to see my day: and he saw it, and rejoiced.

 8:57 The Jihudoyee said to him, Yet the son of fifty years thou art not, and Abraham hast thou seen?

 8:57 The Jews say to him: Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?

 8:58 Jeshu saith to them, Amen, amen, I say to you, Before Abraham was, I Am.

 8:58 Jesus said to them: Verily, verily I say to you, That before Abraham existed, I was.

 8:59 And they took up stones to stone him; but Jeshu concealed himself, and went from the temple, and passed among them, and went.

 8:59 And they took up stones to stone him. But Jesus concealed himself, and went out of the temple, and passed along among them, and went away.
