John 8
1 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
2 Now very early in the morning, he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him. He sat down and taught them.
3 The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery. Having set her in the middle,
4 they told him, “Teacher, we found this woman in adultery, in the very act.
5 Now in our law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. What then do you say about her?”
6 They said this testing him, that they might have something to accuse him of. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger.
7 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 Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger.
9 They, when they heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning from the oldest, even to the last. Jesus was left alone with the woman where she was, in the middle.
10 Jesus, standing up, saw her and said, “Woman, where are your accusers? Did no one condemn you?”
11 She said, “No one, Lord.” Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go your way. From now on, sin no more.”
12 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.”
Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, I am the light of the world: the one following me can not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of the life.
13 The Pharisees therefore said to him, “You testify about yourself. Your testimony is not valid.”
Then the Pharisees said to Him, Thou art testifying concerning thyself; Thy testimony is not true. And Jesus responded and said to them,
14 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.
If I testify concerning myself, my testimony is true; for I know whence I came, and whither I go. You know not whence I come, or whither I go.
15 You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.
You judge according to the flesh; I judge no one.
16 Even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.
If I judge, my judgment is true; because I am not alone, but I and the One having sent me.
17 It’s also written in your law that the testimony of two people is valid.
And it has been written in our law, that the testimony of two men is true.
18 I am one who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me.”
I am the one testifying concerning myself, and the Father having sent me, testifies concerning me.
19 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.”
Then they said to Him, Where is thy Father? Jesus responded; You know neither me nor my Father; if you knew me, you would also know my Father.
20 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.
He spoke these words in the treasury, teaching in the temple: and no one arrested Him; because His hour had not yet come.
21 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.”
Then He again said to them, I go away, and you will seek me, and you will die in your sin: whither I go you are not able to come.
22 The Jews therefore said, “Will he kill himself, because he says, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come’?”
Then the Jews were saying, Whether will He kill Himself, because He says, Whither I go away, you are not able to come?
23 He said to them, “You are from beneath. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world.
And 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 you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am he, you will die in your sins.”
Therefore I said to you, that you shall die in your sins: for if you may not believe that I am He, you shall die in your sins.
25 They said therefore to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them, “Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.
Then they said to Him, Who art thou? And Jesus said to them, Even that which I also speak to you from the beginning.
26 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.”
I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you; but the One having sent me is true; those things which I heard with Him, these I speak to the world.
27 They did not understand that he spoke to them about the Father.
They did not know that He spoke to them concerning the Father.
28 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 my Father taught me, I say these things.
Then Jesus said, When you may lift up the Son of man, then you shall know that I am He, and I do nothing of myself, but as the Father has taught me, I speak the same things.
29 He who sent me is with me. The Father has not left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him.”
Truly the One having sent me is with me; He has not left me alone; because I always do those things which are pleasing to Him.
30 As he spoke these things, many believed in him.
He speaking these things, many believed on Him.
31 Jesus therefore said to those Jews who had believed him, “If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.
Then Jesus said to the Jews, who believed on Him, If you may abide in my word, you are truly my disciples;
32 You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”
and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
33 They answered him, “We are Abraham’s offspring, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How do you say, ‘You will be made free’?”
They responded to Him, we are the seed of Abraham, and have never been in bondage to any one: How do You say, that you shall be free?
34 Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the bondservant of sin.
Jesus responded to them, Truly, truly, I say unto you, That every one doing sin is the slave of sin.
35 A bondservant does not live in the house for life (aiōn g165). A son remains for a lifetime (aiōn g165).
But the slave abides not in the house forever; the Son abides forever. (aiōn g165)
36 If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.
If therefore the Son may make you free, you shall be free indeed.
37 I know that you are Abraham’s offspring, yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you.
I know ye are the seed of Abraham; but you seek to kill me, because my word has no place in you.
38 I say the things which I have seen with my Father; and you also do the things which you have seen with your father.”
Whatsoever I have seen with the Father I speak: you therefore are doing the things which you heard with your father.
39 They answered him, “Our father is Abraham.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham.
They responded and said to Him, Abraham is our Father. Jesus says to them, If you were the children of Abraham, you would do the works of Abraham.
40 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.
But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard with God: Abraham did not this.
41 You do the works of your father.” They said to him, “We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, God.”
You are doing the works of your father. They said to Him, We are not born of fornication; we have one Father, God.
42 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.
Jesus said to them; If God were your Father, you would love me: for I came out from God, and I return; for I have not spoken from myself, but He sent me.
43 Why do not you understand my speech? Because you cannot hear my word.
Wherefore do you not understand my speech? Because you are not able to hear my word.
44 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 the father of lies.
You are of your father the devil, and you wish to do the lusts of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and stood not in the truth, because there was no truth in him. When he may speak a lie, he speaks of his own: because he is a liar, and the father of the same.
45 But because I tell the truth, you do not believe me.
And because I speak the truth, you do not believe me.
46 Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?
Which one of you convicts me concerning sin? If I speak the truth, why do you not believe me?
47 He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you do not hear, because you are not of God.”
The one being of God hears the words of God: on account of this you do not hear, because you are not of God.
48 Then the Jews answered him, “Do not we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?”
The Jews responded and said to Him, Do we not truly say that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?
49 Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon, but I honor my Father and you dishonor me.
Jesus responded, I have not a demon; but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.
50 But I do not seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and judges.
But I do not seek my own glory: there is One seeking and judging.
51 Most certainly, I tell you, if a person keeps my word, he will never see death in this age (aiōn g165)."
Truly, truly, I say unto you, if any one may keep my word, he may never see death. (aiōn g165)
52 Then the Jews said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, as did the prophets; and you say, 'If a man keeps my word, he will never taste of death in this age (aiōn g165).'
The Jews said to Him, Now we know that thou hast a demon. Abraham and the prophets are dead; and thou sayest, If any one may keep my word, he may never taste death. (aiōn g165)
53 Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? The prophets died. Who do you make yourself out to be?”
Whether art thou greater than our father Abraham, who died? and the prophets died: whom do you make yourself?
54 Jesus answered, “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say that he is our God.
Jesus responded, If I may glorify myself, my glory is nothing: my Father is the one glorifying me; whom you say, that, He is our God;
55 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.
indeed you do not know Him: but I know Him. If I may say, I know Him not, I will be a liar like you: but I know Him, and I keep His word.
56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day. He saw it and was glad.”
Abraham, our father, rejoiced that he might see my day; he saw it, and was glad.
57 The Jews therefore said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old! Have you seen Abraham?”
Then the Jews said to Him, You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?
58 Jesus said to them, “Most certainly, I tell you, before Abraham came into existence, I AM.”
Jesus said unto them, Truly, truly, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
59 Therefore they took up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple, having gone through the middle of them, and so passed by.
Then they took up stones that they might cast at Him: and Jesus was hidden, and departed out from the temple.
