But this he spake of the Spirit which they should receive who believe in him. For not yet was the Spirit given, because not yet was Jeshu glorified.

Jeshu answered and said to them, Though I testify of myself, my testimony is the truth: because I know from whence I am, and whither I go.

Yet if I judge, my judgment is true: because I am not alone, but I and my Father who sent me.

37 I know that you are the seed of Abraham; but you seek to kill me, because in my word you do not concur. [fn]

Wherefore my word do you not acknowledge ? Because you cannot hear my word.

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.

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

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

They say again to the blind, What sayest thou concerning him, because he hath opened thine eyes ? He saith to them, I say that he is the Prophet.

These words said his parents, because they feared the Jihudoyee; for the Jihudoyee had determined that if any man should confess him that he was the Meshicha, they would cast him out of the synagogue:

and when his flock hath gone forth, he goeth before it, and his sheep follow him, because they know his voice.

But the hireling fleeth because he is an hireling, and careth not for the flock.

On this account my Father loveth me, because I lay down my life again to take it.

And there was again a division among the Jihudoyee because of his words:

But you believe not, because you are not of my sheep, (even) as I told you.

The Jihudoyee say to him, Not on account of the good works do we stone thee, but because thou blasphemest; thou, being a son of man, making thyself Aloha.

If them he calleth Alohee, because with them was the word of Aloha, and the scripture cannot be loosed,

to him whom the Father hath sanctified and sent into the world, say you, Thou blasphemest, because I have said to you, I am the Son of Aloha ?

Jeshu saith to them, Are there not twelve hours in the day ? If a man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world;

but if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because no light is in him.
