Made Simple — Modern English Translation

Translated by Verse Made Simple Editorial

Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE

So some of the religious leaders were like, 'This guy can't be from God — he doesn't follow the sabbath rules.' But others pushed back: 'Wait, how could someone who's supposedly bad do these incredible miracles?' They couldn't agree and ended up totally split on what to think about Jesus.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Even the experts couldn't figure out Jesus — his goodness didn't fit their boxes.
