John 8-14 (Translated) (view source)
Revision as of 15:15, December 5, 2009
, 15:15, December 5, 2009→Chapter 8
|And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
|And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
|So naturally, because I speak the Truth, you do not believe in me.
|So naturally, because I speak the Truth, you do not believe in me.
|If it weren't so serious, this would be hilarious. Jesus has just built an entire argument around how Satan and the Truth are complete and total opposites, and Satan isn't just any old liar, but is the author of all lying, so naturally, since they desire nothing more than to do whatever Satan wants, they MUST reject the Truth. Ouch. Jesus is pulling no punches here.

We would expect the construction to place emphasis on "the truth," but it actually places the emphasis on the pronoun "I": "...because ""I"" speak the Truth..."
