LEB translation

26:6 So Isaac settled in Gerar.
26:7 When the men of the place asked concerning his wife, he said, “She is my sister,” for he was afraid to say, “my wife,” thinking “the men of the place will kill me on account of Rebekah, for she was beautiful.”
26:8 And it happened that, when he had been there a long time, Abimelech the king of the Philistines looked through the window, and saw—behold—Isaac was fondling Rebekah his wife.
26:9 And Abimelech called Isaac and said, “Surely she is your wife. Now why did you say ‘She is my sister’?” And Isaac said to him, “Because I thought I would die on account of her.”
26:10 And Abimelech said, “What is this you have done to us? One of the people might easily have slept with your wife! Then you would have brought guilt upon us!”
26:11 Then Abimelech instructed all the people, saying, “The one who touches this man or his wife shall certainly die.”
26:12 And Isaac sowed in that land and reaped in that same year a hundredfold, and Yahweh blessed him.

LEB translation

8:48 The Jews answered and said to him, “Do we not correctly say that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?”
8:49 Jesus replied, “I do not have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me!
8:50 But I do not seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and judges!
8:51 Truly, truly I say to you, if anyone keeps my word, he will never experience death forever.”
8:52 The Jews said to him, “Now we know that you have a demon! Abraham and the prophets died, and you say, ‘If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste death forever.’
8:53 You are not greater than our father Abraham who died, are you? And the prophets died! Who do you make yourself to be?”
8:54 Jesus replied, “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. The one who glorifies me is my Father, about whom you say, ‘He is our God.’
8:55 And you have not known him, but I know him. And if I were to say that I do not know him, I would be a liar like you! But I know him and I keep his word.
8:56 Abraham your father rejoiced that he would see my day, and he saw it and was glad.”
8:57 So the Jews said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?”
8:58 Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly I say to you, before Abraham was, I am!”
8:59 Then they picked up stones in order to throw them at him. But Jesus was hidden and went out of the temple courts.
