"Master YHWH" and "I AM"s in the Peshitta
#46
[mcarmichael]"I prefer the Greek translation. Or the New International Version. Or the NASV. One of the English versions because I don't speak Greek either."
"I like the Greek translation enough.
Maybe the Aramaic translation is better."

The Greek translation of the original Aramaic is a good/decent translation. Some NT books in Greek mss. are better translated than others. Like all translations, it lacks certain things that were lost during the translating. In certain other places, it added things that aren't present in the original Aramaic.

The Greek mss. contain a multiplicity of variant, conflicting readings, none of which impact 'essential Christian doctrine,' but still, it's nice to get close to what the original reading was, and the original Aramaic Peshitta allows for that.

What do you think is more poetic:
the Lord's Prayer
a) in Greek, or
b) in the Peshitta's Aramaic?

Semitic idioms:
'give glory to God'

23 This is why his parents said, "He's of age; ask him."
24 So a second time they summoned the man who had been blind and told him,
"Give glory to God.[d: _Give glory to God_ was a solemn charge to tell the truth; Jos 7:19.]
We know that this man is a sinner!"
25 He answered,
"Whether or not He's a sinner,
I don't know.
One thing I do know:
I was blind,
and now I can see!"
26 Then they asked him,
"What did He do to you?
How did He open your eyes?"

and make a confession to Him.
I urge you, tell me what you have done.
Don't hide anything from me."

Thanks very much for bringing the Nicodemus passage to my attention-- my next post will be on the "born again" phrase.

Where we read "born again" in John 3:3 and 3:7 in typical NT translations, a better rendition is "born from The Head [i.e. born from Allaha]."

John 3 (based on Younan)
3. Yeshua answered and said to him [Niqodemus],
"Amain, amain I say to you that,
if a man is not born mn-d'rish,
he is not able to see the Kingdom of Allaha."
4. Niqodemus said to him,
"How is an old man able to be born again?
Why, is it possible to enter the womb of his mother a second time and to (be) born?"
5. And Yeshua answered and said to him,
"Amain, amain I say to you that,
if a man is not born from water and the Rukha,
he is not able to enter into the Kingdom of Allaha.['Rukha' can mean Spirit-- as in 'Spirit of Holiness'-- or spirit or wind; in this context of spiritual discussion, Spirit is the proper translation. See PY, GB, & the HCSB.]
6. The thing that is born from flesh,
is flesh,
and the thing that is born from the Rukha,
is rukha.
7. Do not marvel that I have said to you that
it is necessary for you to be born mn-d'rish.

Younan says that mn-d'rish means "literally, 'from the start (over again).'" Thus, one possible rendering is 'born from the start (over again)'-- born again.

Another possibility is mentioned by the HCSB, via the Greek translation:

John 3:3 (HCSB)
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=john%203&version=KJV;DARBY;YLT;HCSB">https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?s ... Y;YLT;HCSB</a><!-- m -->
Jesus replied,
"I assure you:
Unless someone is born again,[a: The same Gk word can mean _again_ or _from above_ (also in v. 7)]
he cannot see the kingdom of God."

Let's see if starting with the original Aramaic, we can get a "from above," to result in
"if a man is not born mn-d'rish [from Above, i.e. from Allaha],
he is not able to see the Kingdom of Allaha."

Peshitta Tool
John 3
Khabouris font
analyze

The "mn" part of the phrase could be:
"indeed;
who, he who;
from."

The "d'rish" part of the phrase could be:
"head, beginning, chiefs."

So looking at the Aramaic, we can get "from the head," and speculate that 'the head' could obliquely refer to The Head, i.e. to Allaha.

Clicking on the "ID" column, and then "show verses" shows one set of concordance entries as:
Luke 14:7, Ephesians 2:2, 1Thessalonians 4:16, Hebrews 5:12,
and the second set as:
John 3:3, John 3:7, 2Corinthians 3:1, Galatians 4:9, Galatians 4:19, Ephesians 1:10, Titus 3:5, Hebrews 6:6, 1Peter 1:3, 1Peter 1:23, Jude 1:20.

Further study of these verses in the original Aramaic shows promise of supporting the speculation:
Ephesians 2:2, Titus 3:5, 1Peter 1:3, 1Peter 1:23.
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.dukhrana.com">http://www.dukhrana.com</a><!-- m --> has the Khabouris manuscript's transcription, and the Peshitta Tool that can be used to analyze the text of those verses. I invite you to investigate those verses.

Incidentally, in the 4 Gospels, the word 'heaven' can be an oblique reference to Allaha. Doing a control-f/ "find" for:
above
in the pages linked to from
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://preview.tinyurl.com/k6tvrcd">http://preview.tinyurl.com/k6tvrcd</a><!-- m -->
yields these instances where "above" might be a reference to Allaha:
Luke 1:78, John 3:31, 8:23, 19:11.

Let's return to the passage. In the Semitic poetry that abounds in the OT and NT, there often is 'parallelism,' wherein one line will say something, and the next line will say something similar-- with a twist.

I propose that Yeshua made an ambiguous/cryptic remark, Niqodemus misinterpreted it, and then Yeshua repeated his remark in more explicit terms:

"Amain, amain I say to you that,
if a man is not born mn-d'rish,
he is not able to see the Kingdom of Allaha.
?.
Amain, amain I say to you that,
if a man is not born from water and the Rukha,
he is not able to enter into the Kingdom of Allaha."

The 'amain' lines parallel each other,
the 'not able to see/ enter into' lines parallel each other,
and I propose that the "born mn-d'rish" and "born from water and the Rukha" lines parallel each other.

In short, instead of the typical "born again," a better rendition of "born mn-d'rish" is:
"born again, OR more correctly here: born from The Head [i.e. born from Allaha]."

Semiticism: the earth opened her mouth

Revelation 12:16 (KJV)
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://www.biblegateway.com/quicksearch/?quicksearch=mouth+earth&qs_version=KJV">https://www.biblegateway.com/quicksearc ... ersion=KJV</a><!-- m -->
And the earth helped the woman,
and the earth opened her mouth,
and swallowed up the flood
which the dragon cast out of his mouth.

Genesis 4:11
And now art thou cursed from the earth,
which hath opened her mouth
to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;

Numbers 16:30
But if the Lord make a new thing,
and the earth open her mouth,
and swallow them up,
with all that appertain unto them,
and they go down quick into the pit;
then ye shall understand that
these men have provoked the Lord.
Numbers 16:32
And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods.
Numbers 26:10
And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up together with Korah?.

Deuteronomy 11:6

Semiticism: the factuality of an allegation being established 'by the mouth of witnesses'

Matthew 18:16 (KJV)

But if he will not hear thee,
then take with thee one or two more,
that in the mouth of two or three witnesses
every word may be established.

2 Corinthians 13:1
In the mouth of two or three witnesses
shall every word be established.

From the OT:

Numbers 35:30
Whoso killeth any person,
the murderer shall be put to death by the mouth of witnesses:
but one witness shall not testify against any person to cause him to die.

Deuteronomy 17:6
At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses,
shall he that is worthy of death be put to death;
but at the mouth of one witness
he shall not be put to death.

Deuteronomy 19:15
One witness shall not rise up against a man
for any iniquity, or for any sin,
in any sin that he sinneth:
at the mouth of two witnesses,
or at the mouth of three witnesses,
shall the matter be established.

Semiticism: God examines people's kidneys

I will kill her children with the plague.
Then all the churches will know that
I am the One who examines minds[b: Lit _kidneys_] and hearts,
and I will give to each of you according to your works.

Revelation 2:23 (MOUNCE)
?.searches eraunao minds nephros and kai hearts kardia?.

Clicking on "nephros" yields:
"(nephros)?.
a kidney; pl. ?., the kidneys, reins; from the Hebrew the reins regarded as a seat of desire and affection"

Revelation 2:23 (KJV)
And I will kill her children with death;
and all the churches shall know that
I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts:
and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.

Compare

Jeremiah 17:10 (KJV)
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://www.biblegateway.com/quicksearch/?quicksearch=reins&qs_version=KJV">https://www.biblegateway.com/quicksearc ... ersion=KJV</a><!-- m -->
I the Lord search the heart,
I try the reins,
even to give every man according to his ways,
and according to the fruit of his doings.

Some more parallels from the OT appear below.

//////////////////////////
Psalm 7:9
Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end;
but establish the just:
for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.

Psalm 26:2
Examine me, O Lord,
and prove me;
try my reins
and my heart.

Jeremiah 11:20
But, O Lord of hosts,
that judgest righteously,
that triest the reins and the heart,
let me see thy vengeance on them:
for unto thee have I revealed my cause.

Jeremiah 20:12
But, O Lord of hosts,
that triest the righteous,
and seest the reins and the heart,
let me see thy vengeance on them:
for unto thee have I opened my cause.

//////////////////////////
Incidentally, here is a different usage of "kidneys" in the KJV:

Deuteronomy 32:14 (KJV)
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Deuteronomy%2032%3A14&version=NET;KJV;NIV;HCSB">https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?s ... V;NIV;HCSB</a><!-- m -->
Butter of kine,
and milk of sheep,
with fat of lambs,
and rams of the breed of Bashan,
and goats,
with the fat of kidneys of wheat;
and thou didst drink the pure blood of the grape.

The KJV speaks of
"the fat of kidneys of wheat" and
"the pure blood of the grape,"
which other translations more-understandably render as
[NET Bible]"the best of the kernels of wheat"
and [HCSB]"wine from the finest grapes."

Deuteronomy 32:14 New English Translation (NET Bible)
butter from the herd
and milk from the flock,
along with the fat of lambs,
rams and goats of Bashan,
along with the best of the kernels of wheat;
and from the juice of grapes you drank wine.

but did not know her intimately until she gave birth to a son.[a: Other mss read _to her firstborn son_] And he named Him Jesus.

Because it is in Tatian's consolidation/ synthesis of the 4 Gospels, the phrase "her firstborn" was present in the verse as of A.D. 175-- the year of Tatian's death:

Diatesseron 2:8
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.ccel.org/ccel/schaff/anf09.iv.iii.ii.html">http://www.ccel.org/ccel/schaff/anf09.iv.iii.ii.html</a><!-- m -->
and knew her not until she brought forth her firstborn son.

The text "her firstborn" is present in the original Aramaic of the Peshitta:

Matthew 1:25 (based on Younan of peshitta.org)
And-not khakmah [and he did not know her] until she had given birth to her first-born son, and she called his name Yeshua.

For the record, Mary-- and not her husband Joseph-- named Jesus.

A voice was heard in Ramah,
weeping,[a: Other mss read _Ramah, lamentation, and weeping,_] and great mourning,
Rachel weeping for her children;
and she refused to be consoled,
because they were no more.

Tatian included merely 3 and not 4 terms synonymous with 'mourning.' Of course, in making his consolidation of the 4 Gospels, he didn't include 100% of their text.

Diatesseron 3:18
A voice was heard in Ramah,
Weeping and much lamentation;
Rachel weeping for her children,
And not willing to be consoled for their loss.

The original Aramaic of the Peshitta has merely 3 and not 4 terms synonymous with 'mourning':

Matthew 2:18 (Younan)
"A voice was heard in Ramtha,
great crying and wailing.
Rakhiel crying for her sons
and not desiring to be comforted,
because they were not."

After Jesus was baptized, He went up immediately from the water. The heavens suddenly opened for Him,[a: Other mss omit _for Him_] and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming down on Him.

As of A.D. 175, that verse had heaven opening 'for him':

Diatesseron 4:36
Jesus also was baptized. And immediately he went up out of the water, and heaven opened to him, and the Holy Spirit descended upon him in the similitude of the body of a dove?.

That verse in the original Aramaic of the Peshitta has heaven opening 'for him':

Matthew 3:16 (Younan)

That verse in the original Aramaic of the Peshitta has 'go away':

Diatesseron 8:51
But I say unto you that
every one who is angry with his brother without a cause is worthy of the judgement?.

The original Aramaic of the Peshitta has "without a cause":

Matthew 5:22 (Younan)
But I say to you that,
anyone who provokes to anger his brother without cause
is condemned to dina [judgment]?.

The Aramaic to English translation of Younan rendered "who provokes to anger his brother," whereas the Aramaic to Arabic to English Diatesseron and the Aramaic to Greek to English rendered "every one who is angry with his brother." An idiom is involved, and perhaps the Aramaic is ambiguous.

Reach a settlement quickly with your adversary
while you're on the way with him,
or your adversary will hand you over to the judge,
the judge to[a: Other mss read _judge will hand you over to_] the officer,

As of A.D. 175, that verse had verb material between 'judge' and 'officer':

Diatesseron 8:54-55
Join thine adversary quickly,
and while thou art still with him in the way,
give a ransom and free thyself from him;
lest thine adversary deliver thee to the judge,
and the judge deliver thee to the tax-collector,
and thou fall into prison.

In going from Aramaic to Arabic to English, 'officer' somehow became 'tax-collector.'

The original Aramaic of the Peshitta has verb material between 'judge' and 'officer':

Matthew 5:25 (Younan)
Be in agreement with your opponent at law [literally: with your baal/lord of enmity/animosity/strife/judgment] quickly
while you (are) with him on the way,
lest your opponent at law deliver you to the dina [judge]
and the dina deliver you to the officer

And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing out of the ordinary?
Don't even the Gentiles[b: Other mss read _tax collectors_] do the same?

Diatesseron 9:20
And if ye inquire for the good of your brethren only,
what more have ye done _than others_?
is not this the conduct of the publicans also?

[Tefillin are leather box/straps containing biblical verses that Jews bind on their arms and on their foreheads during daily prayer, except on the Sabbath (Deut. 6:8). Tekhelet is the 'ribbon of blue' of the 'tzitzit' (fringes), as commanded in Num. 15:38. 'Tekhelet' is also generally understood to refer to the tzitzit, or even the whole prayer shawl/talit. --Younan]

In his consolidation/ synthesis of the 4 Gospels, Tatian didn't include the addition:

Diatesseron 18:22 -24
And many saw them going, and knew them,
and hastened by land from all the cities,
and came thither beforehand;
for they saw the signs which he was doing on the sick.
And Jesus went up into the mountain,
and sat there with his disciples.

The original Aramaic of the Peshitta lacks the addition:

Mark 6:33-34 (Younan)
And many saw them while they were going and they recognized them,
and they ran by land from all the medintha [cities]
before him to that place.
And Yeshua went out (and) saw the many crowds?.

4 When they come from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they have washed.
And there are many other customs they have received and keep, like the washing of cups, jugs, copper utensils, and dining couches.[a: Other mss omit _and dining couches_])
5 Then the Pharisees and the scribes asked Him, "Why don't Your disciples live according to the tradition of the elders, instead of eating bread with ritually unclean[b: Other mss read _with unwashed_] hands?"

As of A.D. 175, the text mentioned couches and said the hands were unwashed:

Diatesseron 20:20-21
And they ate not what was bought from the market, except they washed it;
and many other things did they keep of what they had received, such as the washing of cups, and measures, and vessels of brass, and couches.
And scribes and Pharisees asked him, Why do thy disciples not walk according to the ordinances of the elders, but eat bread without washing their hands?

The original Aramaic of the Peshitta mentions couches and says the hands are unwashed:

Mark 7:4-5 (Younan)
4. And (goods) from the marketplace, unless they are washed, they would not eat.
And there are many other (traditions) that they have received to keep: washings of cups and of pots and of brass vessels and of beds.

Diatesseron 20:40

Re: vaporized and seasoned, the root MLKh can mean 'to salt, season' or 'to destroy, vaporize, scatter.' The intended meaning shifted between the first and second lines?Meshikha/ the Messiah plays on the dual meaning of MLKh. See Mk 9 PDF of Paul Younan at peshitta.org

and was speaking concerning him to everyone who was waiting for the purqanah [her deliverance] of Urishlim.

And He said to her,
"Daughter, be of good cheer;[a: NU-Text omits _be of good cheer_]

thy faith hath made thee alive;

Luke 24:17 (NKJV)
And He said to them,
"What kind of conversation is this that you have with one another
as you walk and are sad?"[a: NU-Text reads _as you walk? And they stood still, looking sad_]

Diatesseron 53:43-44
And he said unto them,
What are these sayings which ye address the one of you to the other,
as ye walk and are sad?
One of them, whose name was Cleopas, answered and said unto him,?.

"What are these words that you speak with one another
while you are walking and you are sad?"

John 7:26 (NKJV)
But look! He speaks boldly, and they say nothing to Him.
Do the rulers know indeed that this is truly[a: NU-Text omits _truly_] the Christ?

Diatesseron 28:27
And lo, he discourseth with them openly,
and they say nothing unto him.
Think you that our elders have learned that this is the Messiah indeed?

The original Aramaic of the Peshitta has the complete text:

John 7:26 (Younan)
And behold, he speaks openly,
and they do not say anything to him.
Why, do our elders know that this is certainly the Meshikha?"

=====================================================.
John 7:50 (NKJV)
Nicodemus (he who came to Jesus by night,[a: NU-Text reads _before_] being one of them) said to them,
John 7:50 (NIV)
Nicodemus, who had gone to Jesus earlier and who was one of their own number, asked,

As of A.D. 175, 'by night' was present, and 'before/earlier' was absent:

Diatesseron 35:14
Nicodemus, one of them, he that had come to Jesus by night, said unto them,

The original Aramaic of the Peshitta has 'by night':

=====================================================.
John 9:9 (NKJV)

As of A.D. 175, the passage had 'No, but he is like him':

Diatesseron 36:18
And some said, It is he; and others said, Nay, but he resembles him much.

The original Aramaic of the Peshitta has 'No, but he is like him':

(There were) some who were saying that it was (he) and some who were saying, "No, but he closely resembles him."

=====================================================.
John 9:11 (NKJV)
He answered and said, "A Man called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes and said to me, 'Go to the pool of[a: NU-Text omits _the pool of_] Siloam and wash.' So I went and washed, and I received sight."

Diatesseron 36:20
He answered and said unto them, A man named Jesus made clay, and smeared it on my eyes, and said unto me, Go and wash in the water of Siloam: and I went and washed, and received sight.

John 9:11 (Younan)
He answered and said to them, "A man whose name is Yeshua made clay and rubbed it on me-- upon my eyes. And he said to me, 'Go wash in the water of Shilokha,' and I went and I washed and I began to see!"

Diatesseron 38:25
And they removed those stones.
And Jesus lifted his eyes on high, and said,
My Father, I thank thee since thou didst hear me.

The addition isn't present in the original Aramaic of the Peshitta:

John 11:41 (Younan)
And they took away that stone
and Yeshua lifted his eyes upwards and said,
"Abba [Father], I thank you that you have heard me.

=====================================================.
John 12:47 (NKJV)
And if anyone hears My words
and does not believe,[a: NU-Text reads _keep them_]
I do not judge him;

Diatesseron 41:12
And whosoever heareth my sayings,
and keepeth them not,
I judge him not:
for I came not to judge the world,
but to give the world life.

The original Aramaic of the Peshitta has 'keep them':

John 12:47 (Younan)
And he who hears my words,
yet does not keep them,
I do not judge him,
for I have not come to judge the ailma [world],
but to give life to the ailma;

=====================================================.
John 14:28 (NKJV)
You have heard Me say to you,
'I am going away
and coming _back_ to you.'
If you loved Me,
you would rejoice because I said,[a: NU-Text omits _I said_]
'I am going to the Father,'
for My Father is greater than I.

Tatian didn't include the addition in his synthesis of the 4 Gospels:

Diatesseron 46:8
Ye heard that I said unto you, that
I go away,
and come unto you.
If ye loved me,
ye would rejoice, that
I go away to my Father:
for my Father is greater than I.

The original Aramaic of the Peshitta lacks the addition:

John 14:28 (Younan)
You have heard that I have told you that
I go (away),
and I will come to you.
If only you had loved me
you would have rejoiced that
I go to Abbi [my Father],

John 15:7 (NKJV)
If you abide in Me,
and My words abide in you,
you will[a: NU-Text omits _you will_] ask what you desire,

Diatesseron 46:23
If ye abide in me,
and my word abide in you,
everything that ye desire to ask
shall be _done_ unto you.

The original Aramaic of the Peshitta lacks the addition:

John 15:7 (Younan)
Now if you abide in me
and my words abide in you,
anything that you desire to ask
will be (given) to you.

=====================================================.
John 16:3 (NKJV)
And these things they will do to you[a: NU-Text and M-Text omit _to you_]
because they have not known the Father nor Me.

Tatian didn't include the addition in his synthesis of the 4 Gospels:

Diatesseron 46:46
And they will do that,
because they do not know me, nor my Father.

The original Aramaic of the Peshitta lacks the addition:

John 18:20 (NKJV)
Jesus answered him, "I spoke openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where the Jews always meet,[a: NU-Text reads _where all the Jews meet_] and in secret I have said nothing.

As of A.D. 175, the passage had 'where all the Jews meet':

Diatesseron 49:2
And Jesus said unto him, I was speaking openly to the people; and I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, where all the Jews gather; and I have spoken nothing in secret.

The original Aramaic of the Peshitta has 'where all the Jews meet':

John 18:20 (Younan)
Yeshua said to him,
"I have spoken openly among the people,
and at all times I have taught
in the assemblies and in the temple
where all the Yehudeans assemble,
and I did not say anything in secret.

=====================================================.
In this case, perhaps things could go either way.

John 19:28 (NKJV)
After this,
Jesus, knowing[a: M-Text reads _seeing_] that all things were now accomplished,
that the Scripture might be fulfilled,
said, "I thirst!"

Aramaic to Arabic to English yielded 'knew':

Diatesseron 52:1
And after that,
Jesus knew that all things were finished;
and that the scripture might be accomplished,
he said, I thirst.

Younan translated the original Aramaic into English to get 'knew':

John 19:28 (Younan)
After these things Yeshua knew that everything was complete,
and so that the Kethaba [Scripture] might be fulfilled,
he said, "I thirst!"

Using the Peshitta Tool's Analyze feature on the Khabouris text at
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.dukhrana.com">http://www.dukhrana.com</a><!-- m -->
provides a less-frequent definition of "5 p.p. see s.v. ?. adj." from the Comprehensive Aramaic Lexicon.
Perhaps "see" is a legitimate translation of the Aramaic. Perhaps a better translation of the verse is:

John 19:28-29
After these things Yeshua saw (to it) that everything was complete,
[or: After these things, Yeshua, (to) see that everything was complete,]
and so that the Kethaba [Scripture] might be fulfilled,
he said, "I thirst!"
And a vessel was placed (there) that was full of vinegar, and they filled a sponge with the vinegar and placed it on hyssop, and brought it to his mouth.

Here, 'complete' parallels 'fulfilled,'
'everything' parallels 'Scripture,' and
'saw (to it) that' parallels 'so that'
[or: '(to) see that' parallels 'so that']

Compare:

Psalm 69:21 (HCSB)
<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalms+69%3A21&version=KJV;HCSB;NIV;NKJV">https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?s ... B;NIV;NKJV</a><!-- m -->
Instead, they gave me gall[a: A bitter substance] for my food,
and for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

In that same Psalm, Ps 69:10 has a line repeated in John 2:17.

=====================================================.
John 21:3 (NKJV)
Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing."
They said to him, "We are going with you also."
They went out and immediately[a: NU-Text omits _immediately_] got into the boat,
and that night they caught nothing.

Tatian didn't include the addition of 'immediately' in his synthesis of the 4 Gospels:

Diatesseron 54:27
Simon Cephas said unto them, I go to catch fish.
They said unto him, And we also come with thee.
And they went forth, and went up into the boat;
and in that night they caught nothing.

The original Aramaic of the Peshitta lacks the addition:

John 21:3 (Younan)
Shimon Keepa said to them, "I go to catch fish."
They said to him, "We also will come with you."
And they departed and embarked into a ship.
And during that night they did not catch anything.

Whosoever is born of God
doth not commit sin;
for his seed remaineth in him:
and he cannot sin,
because he is born of God.
