Genesis 3:1-19 GNT


John 8:37-47 I know you are Abraham's descendants. Yet you are trying to kill me, because you will not accept my teaching.

I talk about what my Father has shown me, but you do what you father has told you."

They answered him, "Our father is Abraham." "If you really were Abraham's children," Jesus replied, "you would do the same things that he did.

All I have ever done is to tell you the truth I heard from God, yet you are trying to kill me. Abraham did nothing like this!

You are doing what your father did." "God himself is the only Father we have, "they answered, "and we are his true children."

Jesus said to them, "If God really were your Father, you would love me, because I came from God and now I am here. I did not come on my own authority, but he sent me.

Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to listen to my message.

You are the children of your Father, the Devil, and you want to follow your father's desires. From the very beginning he was a murderer and has never been on the side of truth, because there is no truth no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he is only doing what is natural to him, because he is a liar and the Father of all lies.

But I tell the truth, and that is why you do not believe me.

Which one of you can prove that I am guilty of sin? If I tell the truth, then why do you not believe me?

He who comes from God listens to God's words. You, however, are not from God, and that is why you will not listen,"

The Sign of Immanuel

Isaiah 7:10-17 The LORD sent another message to Ahaz:

"Ask the Lord your God to give you a sign. It can be from deep in the world of the dead or from high up in heaven"

Ahaz answered, "I will not ask for a sign. I refuse to put the LORD to the test."

To that Isaiah replied, "Listen, now, descendants of King David. It's bad enough for you to wear out the patience of people--do you have to wear out God's patience too?

Well then, the Lord himself will give you a sign: a young woman who is pregnant will have a son and will name him 'Immanuel'.

By the time he is old enough to make his own decisions, people will be drinking milk and eating honey.

Even before that time comes, the lands of those two kings who terrify you will be deserted.

"The LORD is going to bring on you, on your people, and on the whole royal family, days of trouble worse than any that have come since the kingdom of Israel separated from Judah--he is going to bring the king of Assyria.

Sadness and Gladness

John 16:16-24 "In a little while you will not see me any more, and then a little while later you will see me."

Some of his disciples asked among themselves, "What does he mean? He tells us that in a little while we will not see him, and then a little while later we will see him; and he also says, 'It is because I am going to the Father.

What does this 'a little while' mean? We don't know what he is talking about!"

Jesus knew that they wanted to question him, so he said to them. "I said, 'In a little while you will not see me, and then a little while later you will see me." Is this what you are asking about among yourselves?

I am telling you the truth: You will cry and weep, but the world will be glad; you will be sad, but your sadness will turn into gladness.

When a woman is about to give birth, she is sad because her hour of suffering has come; but when the baby is born, she forgets her suffering, because she is happy that a baby has been born into the world.

That is how it is with you: now you are sad, but I will see you again, and your hearts will be filled with gladness, the kind of gladness that no one can take away from you.

When that day comes, you will not ask me for anything. I am telling you the truth: the Father will give you whatever you ask of him in my name.

Until now you have not asked for anything in my name; ask and you will receive, so that your happiness may be complete.
