John 8:37,46-47
John 8:37 King James Version (KJV)
I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
John 8:46-47 King James Version (KJV)
Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me? He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
John 8:37 New International Version (NIV)
I know that you are Abraham’s descendants. Yet you are looking for a way to kill me, because you have no room for my word.
John 8:46-47 New International Version (NIV)
Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don’t you believe me? Whoever belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.”
John 8:37 New King James Version (NKJV)
“I know that you are Abraham’s descendants, but you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you.
John 8:46-47 New King James Version (NKJV)
Which of you convicts Me of sin? And if I tell the truth, why do you not believe Me? He who is of God hears God’s words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God.”
John 8:34-38 The Message (MSG)
Jesus said, “I tell you most solemnly that anyone who chooses a life of sin is trapped in a dead-end life and is, in fact, a slave. A slave can’t come and go at will. The Son, though, has an established position, the run of the house. So if the Son sets you free, you are free through and through. I know you are Abraham’s descendants. But I also know that you are trying to kill me because my message hasn’t yet penetrated your thick skulls. I’m talking about things I have seen while keeping company with the Father, and you just go on doing what you have heard from your father.”
John 8:42-47-42-47 The Message (MSG)
“If God were your father,” said Jesus, “you would love me, for I came from God and arrived here. I didn’t come on my own. He sent me. Why can’t you understand one word I say? Here’s why: You can’t handle it. You’re from your father, the Devil, and all you want to do is please him. He was a killer from the very start. He couldn’t stand the truth because there wasn’t a shred of truth in him. When the Liar speaks, he makes it up out of his lying nature and fills the world with lies. I arrive on the scene, tell you the plain truth, and you refuse to have a thing to do with me. Can any one of you convict me of a single misleading word, a single sinful act? But if I’m telling the truth, why don’t you believe me? Anyone on God’s side listens to God’s words. This is why you’re not listening—because you’re not on God’s side.”
John 8:37 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
I know that you are Abraham’s descendants; yet you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you.
John 8:46-47 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
Which one of you convicts Me of sin? If I speak truth, why do you not believe Me? He who is of God hears the words of God; for this reason you do not hear them, because you are not of God.”
John 8:37 New Century Version (NCV)
I know you are Abraham’s children, but you want to kill me because you don’t accept my teaching.
John 8:46-47 New Century Version (NCV)
Can any of you prove that I am guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don’t you believe me? The person who belongs to God accepts what God says. But you don’t accept what God says, because you don’t belong to God.”
John 8:37 American Standard Version (ASV)
I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; yet ye seek to kill me, because my word hath not free course in you.
John 8:46-47 American Standard Version (ASV)
Which of you convicteth me of sin? If I say truth, why do ye not believe me? He that is of God heareth the words of God: for this cause ye hear them not, because ye are not of God.
John 8:37 Amplified Bible (AMP)
I know that you are Abraham’s descendants; yet you plan to kill Me, because My word has no place [to grow] in you [and it makes no change in your heart].
John 8:46-47 Amplified Bible (AMP)
Which one of you [has proof and] convicts Me of sin? If I speak truth, why do you not believe Me? Whoever is of God and belongs to Him hears [the truth of] God’s words; for this reason you do not hear them: because you are not of God and you are not in fellowship with Him.”
John 8:37 New Living Translation (NLT)
Yes, I realize that you are descendants of Abraham. And yet some of you are trying to kill me because there’s no room in your hearts for my message.
John 8:46-47 New Living Translation (NLT)
Which of you can truthfully accuse me of sin? And since I am telling you the truth, why don’t you believe me? Anyone who belongs to God listens gladly to the words of God. But you don’t listen because you don’t belong to God.”
John 8:37 The Passion Translation (TPT)
Even though you are descendants of Abraham, you desire to kill me because the message I bring has not found a home in your hearts.
John 8:46-47 The Passion Translation (TPT)
Can you name one sin that I’ve committed? Then if I am telling you only the truth, why don’t you believe me? If you really knew God, you would listen, receive, and respond with faith to his words. But since you don’t listen and respond to what he says, it proves you don’t belong to him and you have no room for him in your hearts.”
