Mt 18:32. THEN HIS LORD, AFTER THAT HE HAD CALLED (HIS SERVANT), SAID (TO) HIM, O (YOU) WICKED SERVANT (or slave), I FORGAVE (or canceled) (YOU) ALL THAT DEBT, BECAUSE (YOU) (BEGGED) ME (to):
Mt 18:33. (SHOULD) (YOU NOT) ALSO HAVE HAD COMPASSION (or mercy) ON (YOUR) FELLOWSERVANT (or slave), EVEN AS I HAD PITY (or mercy) ON (YOU)?
Mt 18:34. AND HIS LORD WAS WROTH (or moved with anger), AND (HANDED) HIM (over) TO THE TORMENTORS (or jailers to be tortured-NIV, or for punishment), TILL HE SHOULD PAY (back) (EVERYTHING) THAT WAS DUE (or owed) (TO) HIM.

Jn 7:2. NOW THE JEWS' FEAST OF TABERNACLES (or Booths) WAS (NEAR).
Jn 7:3. HIS (BROTHERS) THEREFORE SAID (TO) HIM, DEPART (FROM HERE), AND GO INTO (JUDEA), (so) THAT (YOUR) DISCIPLES ALSO MAY SEE THE (MIRACLES) THAT (YOU) (DO).
Jn 7:4. FOR THERE IS NO MAN THAT (DOES) ANY THING (or acts) IN SECRET, AND HE HIMSELF (SEEKS) TO BE KNOWN OPENLY (or wants to become a public figure-NIV). (SINCE) (YOU) DO THESE THINGS, SHOW (YOURSELF) TO THE WORLD.
Jn 7:5. (His brothers spoke this way-JNT) FOR NEITHER DID HIS (own) (BROTHERS) BELIEVE (or trust) IN HIM.

Jn 7:35. THEN SAID THE JEWS AMONG THEMSELVES, (WHERE) WILL HE GO, THAT WE SHALL NOT FIND HIM? WILL HE GO (TO) THE DISPERSED (or our people) AMONG THE GENTILES (or Greek Diaspora), AND TEACH THE GENTILES (or Greek-speaking Jews-JNT)?
Jn 7:36. WHAT (DID HE MEAN) (WHEN) HE SAID, (YOU) SHALL SEEK ME, AND SHALL NOT FIND ME: AND WHERE I AM, THITHER (YOU) CANNOT COME?

Jn 7:38. HE THAT (BELIEVES) (or trusts) (IN) ME, AS THE SCRIPTURE (HAS) SAID, OUT OF HIS BELLY (or innermost being) (or heart) SHALL FLOW RIVERS OF LIVING WATER.
Jn 7:39. (BUT THIS [SPOKE] HE OF THE SPIRIT, WHICH THEY THAT BELIEVE [or who trusted] [IN] HIM SHOULD [later] RECEIVE: FOR THE HOLY GHOST WAS NOT YET GIVEN; BECAUSE THAT JESUS WAS NOT YET GLORIFIED.)
Jn 7:40. MANY OF THE PEOPLE THEREFORE (in the crowd), WHEN THEY HEARD THIS SAYING, SAID, (SURELY) THIS (man) IS THE PROPHET.
Jn 7:41. OTHERS SAID, THIS IS THE CHRIST (or Messiah). BUT SOME SAID, (How) SHALL (the) CHRIST (or Messiah) COME OUT OF GALILEE?
Jn 7:42. (HAS) NOT THE SCRIPTURE SAID, THAT (the) CHRIST (or Messiah) (COMES) (FROM) THE SEED (or offspring, or family) OF DAVID, AND OUT OF THE TOWN (or village) OF BETHLEHEM, WHERE DAVID WAS?
Jn 7:43. SO THERE WAS A DIVISION AMONG THE PEOPLE BECAUSE OF HIM.

Jn 8:3. AND THE SCRIBES (or teachers of the Law-NIV) AND PHARISEES BROUGHT (TO) HIM A WOMAN (CAUGHT) IN ADULTERY; AND WHEN THEY HAD SET HER (or made her stand) IN (THE CENTER OF THE GROUP-JNT),
Jn 8:4. THEY SAY (TO) HIM, MASTER (or Teacher), THIS WOMAN WAS (CAUGHT) IN ADULTERY, IN THE VERY ACT.
Jn 8:5. NOW MOSES IN THE LAW COMMANDED US, THAT SUCH SHOULD BE STONED (to death): BUT WHAT (SAY) (YOU) (about it)?
Jn 8:6. THIS THEY SAID, (AS A TRAP), THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE (grounds) (FOR BRINGING CHARGES AGAINST HIM-JNT). BUT JESUS (BENT) DOWN, AND WITH HIS FINGER WROTE ON THE GROUND, AS THOUGH HE HEARD THEM NOT.
Jn 8:7. SO WHEN THEY CONTINUED ASKING HIM, HE (STRAIGHTENED) UP HIMSELF, AND SAID (TO) THEM, HE THAT IS WITHOUT SIN AMONG YOU, LET HIM (be) FIRST (to) (THROW) A STONE AT HER.
Jn 8:8. AND AGAIN HE STOOPED DOWN, AND WROTE ON THE GROUND.
Jn 8:9. AND THEY WHICH HEARD IT, BEING CONVICTED BY THEIR OWN CONSCIENCE, (they) WENT OUT ONE BY ONE, BEGINNING AT THE ELDEST, EVEN (TO) THE LAST: AND JESUS WAS LEFT ALONE, (WITH) THE WOMAN STANDING IN THE MIDST.
Jn 8:10. WHEN JESUS HAD (STRAIGHTENED) UP HIMSELF, AND SAW NONE BUT THE WOMAN, HE SAID (TO) HER, WOMAN, WHERE ARE THOSE (YOUR) ACCUSERS? (HAS) NO MAN CONDEMNED (YOU)?
Jn 8:11. SHE SAID, NO MAN, LORD. AND JESUS SAID (TO) HER, NEITHER DO I CONDEMN (YOU): GO (now), AND (LEAVE YOUR LIFE OF SIN-NIV).

Jn 8:13. THE PHARISEES THEREFORE SAID (TO) HIM, (YOU) (BEAR) RECORD OF (YOURSELF); (YOUR) RECORD IS NOT TRUE (or not valid).
Jn 8:14. JESUS ANSWERED AND SAID (TO) THEM, THOUGH I BEAR RECORD OF MYSELF, YET MY RECORD IS TRUE: FOR I KNOW (WHERE) I CAME (from), AND (WHERE) I GO; BUT (YOU) (HAVE NO IDEA) (WHERE) I COME (from), AND (WHERE) I GO.
Jn 8:15. (YOU) JUDGE (ACCORDING TO) THE FLESH (or by human standards); I JUDGE NO MAN.
Jn 8:16. AND YET IF I (do) JUDGE, MY JUDGMENT IS TRUE: FOR I AM NOT ALONE (in it), BUT I (STAND WITH) THE FATHER THAT SENT ME.
Jn 8:17. IT IS ALSO WRITTEN (even) IN YOUR LAW, THAT THE TESTIMONY OF TWO MEN IS (VALID).
Jn 8:18. I AM ONE THAT BEAR WITNESS OF MYSELF, AND THE FATHER THAT SENT ME (BEARS) WITNESS OF ME.
Jn 8:19. THEN SAID THEY (TO) HIM, WHERE IS (THIS) FATHER (of Yours)? JESUS ANSWERED, (YOU) NEITHER KNOW ME, NOR MY FATHER: IF (YOU) HAD KNOWN ME, (YOU) SHOULD HAVE KNOWN MY FATHER ALSO.
Jn 8:20. THESE WORDS (SPOKE) JESUS IN THE TREASURY (or near the place where the offerings were put-NIV), AS HE TAUGHT IN THE TEMPLE (area): AND NO MAN (ARRESTED) HIM; FOR HIS (TIME) WAS NOT YET COME.
Jn 8:21. THEN SAID JESUS AGAIN (TO) THEM, (I AM GOING AWAY-NIV), AND (YOU) SHALL (LOOK FOR) ME, AND SHALL DIE IN YOUR SINS: (WHERE) I GO, (YOU) CANNOT COME.

Jn 8:28. THEN SAID JESUS (TO) THEM, WHEN (YOU) HAVE LIFTED UP THE SON OF MAN, THEN SHALL (YOU) KNOW THAT I AM HE (the One I claim to be-NIV), AND THAT I DO NOTHING OF (MY OWN INITIATIVE); BUT AS MY FATHER HATH TAUGHT ME, I SPEAK THESE THINGS.

WHEN HE (SPEAKS) A LIE, HE (SPEAKS) (FROM) HIS OWN (nature) (or when he lies, he speaks his native language-NIV, or he is speaking in character-JNT): FOR HE IS A LIAR, AND THE FATHER (or inventor) OF (THE LIE).
