OET (OET-RV) But because I’m speaking the truth, you don’t believe in me.

SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 8:39–59: Abraham saw Jesus

In this section Jesus continued to speak to those who did not believe in him. Although they said that they were Abraham’s children and that God was their Father, they did not do what those people would. They did not accept Jesus’ teaching and wanted to kill him. So he said that their real father was the devil, who was a murderer and a liar.

They replied that he was a Samaritan and had a demon. Jesus denied that and said that if they accepted what he said, they would never die. They said that Abraham died and asked if he was greater than him. Jesus replied that he knew Abraham and existed before him. Then they wanted to throw stones at Jesus, but he hid.

Here are some other possible section headings:

Those who rejected Jesus had the devil for a father

Jesus existed before Abraham

Paragraph 8:42–47

Jesus said that he came from God and spoke the truth. His opponents were from the devil, who was a murderer and a liar. The fact that they did not accept Jesus proved that they were not from God.

8:45

But because I speak the truth, you do not believe Me!

But: The Greek conjunction that the BSB translates as But here introduces a contrast. The contrast is that they believe the devil, who is a liar, but they do not believe Jesus, who speaks truth.

because I speak the truth, you do not believe Me!: The word because here introduces the reason why those people did not believe Jesus: he told the truth. They had chosen to follow the devil, the liar, and so they would rather believe a lie. Here is another way to translate this logical connection:

I tell the truth, and that is why you do not believe me. (GNT)

In some languages it may be natural to reverse the clauses. For example:

you don’t believe me because I tell the truth (GW)

the reason you(plur) do not believe me is that I speak truth

I speak the truth: The Greek text emphasizes the word I to contrast Jesus with the father of lies. For example:

But as for me, I tell you the truth

you do not believe Me!: Here the word believe refers to believing what Jesus said. Here is another way to translate this clause:

you do not believe what I say
