John 8
1 But Jesus went to the mount of Olives.
but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
2 And at early morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him. And having sat down, he taught them.
Now very early in the morning, he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him, and he sat down and taught them.
3 And the scholars and the Pharisees bring to him a woman taken in adultery. And having stood her in the midst,
Then the scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst,
4 tempting, they say to him, Teacher, we found this woman committing adultery, in the act.
they said to him, "Teacher, we found this woman in adultery, in the very act.
5 Now in the law, Moses commanded us such women are to be stoned. What therefore do thou say about her?
Now in the Law, Moses commanded us to stone such. So what do you say?"
6 But they said this, trying him, so that they might have an accusation against him. But Jesus having stooped down, wrote on the ground with his finger, not pretending.
Now they said this to test him, that they might have something to accuse him of. But Jesus stooped down, and wrote on the ground with his finger.
7 And when they continued asking him, after standing erect, he said to them, Let the innocent man of you first cast the stone at her.
But when they continued asking him, he looked up and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him throw the first stone at her."
8 And again having stooped down, he wrote on the ground.
Again he stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.
9 And they, having heard and being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, having begun from the elder until the last. And Jesus was left behind alone, and the woman being in the midst.
But when they heard it, they went out one by one, beginning from the oldest, even to the last, and he was left alone with the woman where she was, in the middle.
10 And Jesus, after standing erect, and having seen no man but the woman, he said to her, Woman, where are those accusers of thee? Did no man condemn thee?
Then Jesus, standing up, said to her, "Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?"
11 And she said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said to her, Neither do I condemn thee. Go, and henceforth sin no more.
And she said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you. Go, and sin no more."
12 Again therefore Jesus spoke to them, saying, I am the light of the world. He who follows me would, no, not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.
Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life."
13 The Pharisees therefore said to him, Thou testify about thyself. Thy testimony is not valid.
The Pharisees therefore said to him, "You testify about yourself. Your testimony is not valid."
14 Jesus answered and said to them, Even if I might testify about myself, my testimony is valid, for I know where I came from and where I go, but ye do not know where I come from and where I go.
Jesus answered them, "Even if I testify about myself, my testimony is true, for I know where I came from, and where I am going; but you do not know where I came from, or where I am going.
15 Ye judge according to the flesh. I judge no man.
You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.
16 But even if I judge, my judgment is valid, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me.
Even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.
17 And also it is written in your law that the testimony of two men is valid.
It's also written in your Law that the testimony of two people is valid.
18 I am he who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me.
I am one who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me."
19 They said therefore to him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye know neither me, nor my Father. If ye had known me, ye would have known my Father also.
They said therefore to him, "Where is your Father?" Jesus answered, "You know neither me, nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father also."
20 Jesus spoke these sayings in the treasury as he taught in the temple, and no man seized him, because his hour had not yet come.
Jesus spoke these words in the treasury, as he taught in the temple. Yet no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.
21 Jesus therefore again said to them, I go, and ye will seek me, and ye will die in your sin. Where I go, ye cannot come.
Jesus said therefore again to them, "I am going away, and you will seek me, and you will die in your sins. Where I go, you cannot come."
22 The Jews therefore said, Will he kill himself, because he says, Where I go, ye cannot come?
The Jewish leaders therefore said, "Will he kill himself, that he says, 'Where I am going, you cannot come?'"
23 And he said to them, Ye are from below, I am from above. Ye are of this world, I am not of this world.
He said to them, "You are from beneath. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world.
24 I said therefore to you that ye will die in your sins. For unless ye believe that I am he, ye will die in your sins.
I said therefore to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am he, you will die in your sins."
25 They said therefore to him, Who are thou? And Jesus said to them, The beginning, something that I am even telling you.
They said therefore to him, "Who are you?" Jesus said to them, "Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.
26 I have many things to say and to judge about you. But he who sent me is true, and I speak to the world these things that I heard from him.
I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you. However he who sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these I say to the world."
27 They did not understand that he spoke the Father to them.
They did not understand that he spoke to them about the Father.
28 Jesus therefore said to them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then ye will know that I am he, and I do nothing from myself, but I speak these things as my Father taught me.
Jesus therefore said to them, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and I do nothing of myself, but as the Father taught me, I say these things.
29 And he who sent me is with me. The Father has not left me alone, because I always do things pleasing to him.
He who sent me is with me. The Father hasn't left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him."
30 As he spoke these things of him, many believed in him.
As he spoke these things, many believed in him.
31 Jesus therefore said to those Jews who believed him, If ye remain in my word, ye are truly my disciples,
Jesus therefore said to those Judeans who had believed him, "If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.
32 and ye will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.
You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free."
33 They answered to him, We are Abraham's seed, and have been in bondage to no man, ever. How can thou say, Ye will become free?
They answered him, "We are Abraham's descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can you say, 'You will be made free?'"
34 Jesus answered them, Truly, truly, I say to you, that every man who does the sin is a bondman of the sin.
Jesus answered them, "Truly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin.
35 And the bondman does not remain in the house into the age. The Son remains into the age. (aiōn g165)
A slave does not live in the house forever. A son remains forever. (aiōn g165)
36 If therefore the Son should make you free, ye will truly be free.
So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
37 I know that ye are Abraham's seed, yet ye seek to kill me, because my word has no place in you.
I know that you are Abraham's descendants, yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you.
38 I speak what I have seen from my Father, and ye therefore do what ye have seen from your father.
I say the things which I have seen with my Father; and you also do the things which you have heard from your father."
39 They answered and said to him, Abraham is our father. Jesus says to them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
They answered him, "Our father is Abraham." Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham.
40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham did not do this.
But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God. Abraham did not do this.
41 Ye do the works of your father. They said therefore to him, We were not begotten from fornication. We have one Father, God.
You do the works of your father." They said to him, "We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, God."
42 Therefore Jesus said to them, If God were your Father, ye would love me, for I came forth and have come from God. For, neither have I come for myself, but he sent me.
Therefore Jesus said to them, "If God were your father, you would love me, for I came out and have come from God. For I have not come of myself, but he sent me.
43 Why do ye not understand my speech? Because ye cannot hear my word.
Why do you not understand my speech? Because you cannot hear my word.
44 Ye are from the father, the devil, and ye want to do the desires of your father. He was a man-killer from the beginning, and he has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own, because he is a liar, and the father of it.
You are of your father, the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and its father.
45 And I, because I speak the truth, ye do not believe me.
But because I tell the truth, you do not believe me.
46 Which of you convicts me about sin? And if I speak truth, why do ye not believe me?
Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?
47 He who is of God hears the sayings of God. Because of this ye do not hear, because ye are not of God.
He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you do not hear, because you are not of God."
48 Therefore the Jews answered and said to him, Do we not say well that thou are a Samaritan, and have a demon?
Then the Judeans answered him, "Do not we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?"
49 Jesus answered, I have no demon, but I honor my Father, and ye dishonor me.
Jesus answered, "I do not have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.
50 But I seek not my own glory. He is who seeks and judges.
But I do not seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and judges.
51 Truly, truly, I say to you, if any man keeps my word, he will, no, not see death, into the age. (aiōn g165)
Truly, truly, I tell you, if a person keeps my word, he will never see death." (aiōn g165)
52 The Jews therefore said to him, Now we know that thou have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets, and thou say, If any man keeps my word, he will, no, not taste of death, into the age. (aiōn g165)
Then the Judeans said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and you say, 'If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste of death.' (aiōn g165)
53 Are thou greater than our father Abraham who died? And the prophets died. Who do thou make thyself?
Are you greater than our father, Abraham, who died? The prophets died. Who do you make yourself out to be?"
54 Jesus answered, If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. My Father is he who glorifies me, of whom ye say, He is our God.
Jesus answered, "If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say 'He is our God.'
55 And ye do not know him, but I know him. And if I should say that I do not know him, I will be a liar like you, but I do know him and keep his word.
You have not known him, but I know him. If I said, 'I do not know him,' I would be like you, a liar. But I know him, and keep his word.
56 Your father Abraham rejoiced that he could see my day, and he saw it, and was glad.
Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day. He saw it, and was glad."
57 The Jews therefore said to him, Thou have not yet fifty years, and thou have seen Abraham?
The Judeans therefore said to him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?"
58 Jesus said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham came to be, I am.
Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I tell you, before Abraham came into existence, I AM."
59 Therefore they took up stones so that they might throw at him, but Jesus was hid, and went out of the temple, having passed through the midst of them, and thus passed on.
Therefore they took up stones to throw at him, but Jesus was concealed, and went out of the temple.
