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 8:48–51

Jesus’ opponents became angry and began to insult him. They said that he had a demon. Jesus continued to say that he knew God and that God honored him just as he honored the Father. Jesus said that people who kept his word will not die.

8:49a

“I do not have a demon,” Jesus replied,

“I am not possessed by a demon,” said Jesus.
Jesus answered them, “There is no evil spirit in me.

I do not have a demon: Jesus denied what his accusers said in 8:48. They said that a demon caused him to speak as he did. Jesus said that what they accused was false. Translate this clause as one that clearly denied the insult in 8:48. For example:

I have no demon (GNT)

I am not possessed by a demon (NET)

No…I have no demon in me (NLT)

Jesus replied: The BSB places the words Jesus replied after the quotation of his words. Place this quote introducer where it is natural in your language. For example:

Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon” (NRSV)

8:49b

“but I honor My Father,

“Rather, I honor my Father
I am honoring my Father,

but: The Greek conjunction that the BSB translates as but here connects a negative statement (8:49a) to a positive statement (8:49b). This kind of sentence emphasizes the positive statement. Languages have different ways to indicate this type of emphasis. Here are some ways to show the emphasis:

Use the conjunction but as in the BSB.
Use a conjunction other than but. This is a common way in English to show this type of emphasis. For example:
I do not have a demon, rather/instead I honor my father.
Do not use a conjunction. For example:
I don’t have a demon in me. I honor my Father (CEV)

You should translate this emphasis in the way that is most natural in your language.

I honor My Father: The word honor here indicates that Jesus respected and obeyed God, who was his Father.

8:49c

and you dishonor Me.

and/while you^(plur) insult me.
but you^(plur) are saying evil/insulting things about me.

and: This conjunction connects and contrasts what Jesus did and what his opponents did. In some languages it may be natural to translate it in a way that makes the contrast more explicit. For example:

I honor my Father, but you dishonor me. (GNT)

I honor my Father—and yet you dishonor me (NET)

Nearly all English translations that use “but” in 8:49b use and here and leave the contrast here implied. You should translate this conjunction in the way that is most natural in your language.

you dishonor Me: The word dishonor here means to say evil things about someone so that others will not respect that person. Jesus’ opponents tried to make others hate him by saying that he was possessed or controlled by a demon. Here are other ways to translate this clause:

you refuse to honor me (CEV)

you are trying to dishonour me (JBP)

you are saying evil/shameful things about me
