G1161–δέ–de

Now the servant does not go on living in the house for ever, but the son does.

δὲ de “Now”δὲ de “but”

But now you have a desire to put me to death, a man who has said to you what is true, as I had it from God: Abraham did not do that.

δὲ de “however”

But because I say what is true, you have no belief in me.

δὲ de “now”

Which of you is able truly to say that I am a sinner? If I say what is true, why have you no belief in me?

δὲ de “now”

I, however, am not in search of glory for myself: there is One who is searching for it and he is judge.

δὲ de “now”

You have no knowledge of him, but I have knowledge of him; and if I said I have no knowledge of him I would be talking falsely like you: but I have full knowledge of him, and I keep his word.

δὲ de “however”

So they took up stones to send at him: but Jesus got secretly out of their way and went out of the Temple.

δὲ de “however”

Now the day on which the earth was mixed by Jesus and the man's eyes were made open was the Sabbath.

δὲ de “now”

So the Pharisees put more questions to him about how his eyes had been made open. And he said to them, He put earth on my eyes, and I had a wash and am able to see.

δὲ de “And”

Then some of the Pharisees said, That man has not come from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath. Others said, How is it possible for a sinner to do such signs? So there was a division among them.

δὲ de “however”

Again they said to the blind man, What have you to say about him for opening your eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.

δὲ de “And”

But how it is he is now able to see, or who made his eyes open, we are not able to say: put the question to him; he is old enough to give an answer for himself.

δὲ de “however”

And they were angry with him and said, You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

δὲ de “now”δὲ de “however”

We are certain that God gave his word to Moses: but as for this man, we have no knowledge where he comes from.

δὲ de “however”

We have knowledge that God does not give ear to sinners, but if any man is a worshipper of God and does his pleasure, to him God's ears are open.

δὲ de “now”

Jesus said to him, You have seen him; it is he who is talking to you.

δὲ de “now”

And he said, Lord, I have faith. And he gave him worship.

δὲ de “And”

Jesus said to them, If you were blind you would have no sin: but now that you say, We see; your sin is there still.

δὲ de “however”

He who goes in by the door is the keeper of the sheep.

δὲ de “however”

They will not go after another who is not their keeper, but will go from him in flight, because his voice is strange to them.

δὲ de “however”

In this Jesus was teaching them in the form of a story: but what he said was not clear to them.

δὲ de “however”

He who is a servant, and not the keeper or the owner of the sheep, sees the wolf coming and goes in flight, away from the sheep; and the wolf comes down on them and sends them in all directions:

δέ de “now”

Because he is a servant he has no interest in the sheep.

δὲ de “now”

And a number of them said, He has an evil spirit and is out of his mind; why do you give ear to him?

δὲ de “now”

Others said, These are not the words of one who has an evil spirit. Is it possible for an evil spirit to make blind people see?
