Following are a number of back-translations of John 8:40:
- Uma: “I announce to you the true teaching that I received from God, but you just want to kill me! The behavior of Abraham was not like your behavior.” (Source: Uma Back Translation)
- Yakan: “But you, you want to kill me because I have told you the truth I have heard from God. Ibrahim did not do like that.” (Source: Yakan Back Translation)
- Western Bukidnon Manobo: “As for me, I taught you the true doctrine that God taught me, and surprise, you want to kill me but Abraham never did anything like that.” (Source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
- Kankanaey: “But here-now your minds are determined to kill-me, and I am emphatically the one who has been repeatedly-telling you the truth I heard from God. Is it indeed-the-case that (RQ implying of course not) Abraham did anything like that?” (Source: Kankanaey Back Translation)
