And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the multitude that standeth around I said it, that they may believe that thou didst send me.

I was certain that your ears are at all times open to me, but I said it because of these who are here, so that they may see that you sent me.

Και εγω εγνωριζον οτι παντοτε μου ακουεις· αλλα δια τον οχλον τον περιεστωτα ειπον τουτο, δια να πιστευσωσιν οτι συ με απεστειλας.

And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
