NASB | John 8:41 "You are doing the deeds of your father." They said to Him, "We were not born of fornication; we have one Father: God." |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | John 8:41 "You are doing the works of your [own] father." They said to Him, "We are not illegitimate children; we have one [spiritual] Father: God." |
Subject: Defending themselves or accusing Jesus? |
Bible Note: I forgot to mention in the Jewish society it seems they were less interested in attaching a sigma to the situation of a illegitimate child. In reading the little that I have it seems they were more concerned making sure there was a resolution to any legal issue such as inherence. Because of this I see them as being more merciful on these types of situations than perhaps many of us Christians that seem to take some glee in pointing out the child was conceived out or wedlock. |
