³ And lo, certain of the scribes said within themselves, `This one doth speak evil.'

⁶⁵ Then the chief priest rent his garments, saying, -- `He hath spoken evil; what need have we yet of witnesses? lo, now ye heard his evil speaking;

¹¹ then they suborned men, saying -- `We have heard him speaking evil sayings in regard to Moses and God.'

¹² They did stir up also the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and having come upon `him', they caught him, and brought `him' to the sanhedrim;

¹³ they set up also false witnesses, saying, `This one doth not cease to speak evil sayings against this holy place and the law,

³³ The Jews answered him, saying, `For a good work we do not stone thee, but for evil speaking, and because thou, being a man, dost make thyself God.'

³⁴ Jesus answered them, `Is it not having been written in your law: I said, ye are gods?

³⁵ if them he did call gods unto whom the word of God came, (and the Writing is not able to be broken,)

³⁶ of him whom the Father did sanctify, and send to the world, do ye say -- Thou speakest evil, because I said, Son of God I am?

³⁹ And the Pharisee who did call him, having seen, spake within himself, saying, `This one, if he were a prophet, would have known who and of what kind `is' the woman who doth touch him, that she is a sinner.'

⁴⁰ And Jesus answering said unto him, `Simon, I have something to say to thee;' and he saith, `Teacher, say on.'

²¹ And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, `Who is this that doth speak evil words? who is able to forgive sins, except God only?'

⁶⁴ Ye heard the evil speaking, what appeareth to you?' and they all condemned him to be worthy of death,

²¹ for from within, out of the heart of men, the evil reasonings do come forth, adulteries, whoredoms, murders,

⁶ And there were certain of the scribes there sitting, and reasoning in their hearts,

⁷ `Why doth this one thus speak evil words? who is able to forgive sins except one -- God?'

²⁹ for he was teaching them as having authority, and not as the scribes.

¹⁶ and he who is execrating the name of Jehovah is certainly put to death; all the company do certainly cast stones at him; as a sojourner so a native, in his execrating the Name, is put to death.
