Jesus answered, Thou couldest have no power at all against Me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered Me unto thee hath the greater sin. |
Jesus answered, “You could have no power at all against Me unless it had been given you from above. Therefore the one who delivered Me to you has the greater sin.” |
Jesus answered, “You would have no authority over Me, unless it had been given you from above; for this reason he who delivered Me up to you has the greater sin.” |
|
Jesus answered, “You would have no power over Me if it were not given to you from above. Therefore the one who handed Me over to you is guilty of a greater sin.” |
Jesus answered, You would not have any power or authority whatsoever against (over) Me if it were not given you from above. For this reason the sin and guilt of the one who delivered Me over to you is greater. |
Answered Jesus, You would not be having authority over Me, not one bit, except that it has been given you from above. Because of this, he who handed Me over to you has the greater sin. |
|
“You have no power at all against Me,” replied Jesus, “except what was given to you from above. And for that reason the one who handed Me over to you is even more guilty than you are.” |
Jesus answered him, “You would have no power at all over Me, if it had not been given to you from above. So the man who betrayed Me to you is more guilty than you.” |
