John 8
1 But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
2 Early in the morning He went back into the temple courts. All the people came to Him, and He sat down to teach them.
3 The scribes and Pharisees, however, brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before them
4 and said, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery.
5 In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such a woman. So what do You say?”
6 They said this to test Him, in order to have a basis for accusing Him. But Jesus bent down and began to write on the ground with His finger.
7 When they continued to question Him, He straightened up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to cast a stone at her.”
8 And again He bent down and wrote on the ground.
9 When they heard this, they began to go away one by one, beginning with the older ones, until only Jesus was left, with the woman standing there.
10 Then Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are your accusers? Has no one condemned you?”
11 “No one, Lord,” she answered. “Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Now go and sin no more.”
12 Once again, Jesus spoke to the people and said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will never walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.”
BUT again spake Jeshu with them, and said, I am the Light of the world: he who followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall find the light of life.
13 So the Pharisees said to Him, “You are testifying about Yourself; Your testimony is not valid.”
The Pharishee say to him, Thou of thyself testifiest: thy testimony is not the truth.
14 Jesus replied, “Even if I testify about Myself, My testimony is valid, because 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.
Jeshu answered and said to them, Though I testify of myself, my testimony is the truth: because I know from whence I am, and whither I go.
15 You judge according to the flesh; I judge no one.
But you know not from whence I am, nor whither I go. You judge carnally; but I judge no man.
16 But even if I do judge, My judgment is true, because I am not alone; I am with the Father who sent Me.
Yet if I judge, my judgment is true: because I am not alone, but I and my Father who sent me.
17 Even in your own Law it is written that the testimony of two men is valid.
So in your law it is written, that the testimony of two men is truth:
18 I am One who testifies about Myself, and the Father, who sent Me, also testifies about Me.”
I am (one) who testify of myself, and my Father who sent me testifieth (also) of me.
19 “Where is Your Father?” they asked Him. “You do not know Me or My Father,” Jesus answered. “If you knew Me, you would know My Father as well.”
They say to him, Where is thy Father? Jeshu answered and said to them, You know neither me, nor my Father; for if me you had known, my Father also would you have known.
20 He spoke these words while teaching in the temple courts, near the treasury. Yet no one seized Him, because His hour had not yet come.
These words spake Jeshu in the house of treasure, as he taught in the temple: and no man apprehended him; for not yet had come his hour.
21 Again He said to them, “I am going away, and you will look for Me, but you will die in your sin. Where I am going, you cannot come.”
Jeshu said again, I go, and you will seek me, and will die in your sins; and where I go you cannot come.
22 So the Jews began to ask, “Will He kill Himself, since He says, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come’?”
The Jihudoyee say, Will he kill himself then? for he saith, Whither I go you cannot come.
23 Then He told them, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.
And he said to them, From beneath are you; but I am from above: you are of this world;
24 That is why I told you that you would die in your sins. For unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.”
but I am not of this world. I said to you, that you will die in your sins: for if you believe not that I AM, you will die in your sins.
25 “Who are You?” they asked. “Just what I have been telling you from the beginning,” Jesus replied.
The Jihudoyee say, Who art thou? Jeshu saith to them, The same that I began to tell you.
26 “I have much to say about you and much to judge. But the One who sent Me is truthful, and what I have heard from Him, I tell the world.”
Much have I against you to say and to judge: but he who hath sent me is true; and those (things) which I have heard from him these speak I in the world.
27 They did not understand that He was telling them about the Father.
But they knew not that of the Father he spake to them.
28 So Jesus said, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing on My own, but speak exactly what the Father has taught Me.
JESHU saith to them again, When you have lifted up the Son of man, then shall you know that I am (he), and (that) nothing from myself I do; but as the Father hath taught me, so I speak.
29 He who sent Me is with Me. He has not left Me alone, because I always do what pleases Him.”
And he who sent me is with me: my Father hath not left me alone; for whatever is pleasing to him I do at all time.
30 As Jesus spoke these things, many believed in Him.
And as these (words) he spake, many believed on him.
31 So He said to the Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, you are truly My disciples.
And Jeshu said to those Jihudoyee who believed on him, If you persevere in my doctrine, you shall be truly my disciples;
32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall liberate you.
33 “We are Abraham’s descendants,” they answered. “We have never been slaves to anyone. How can You say we will be set free?”
They say to him, We are the seed of Abraham, and never service to man have we performed; how sayest thou that we shall be sons of freedom?
34 Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin.
Jeshu saith to them, Amen I tell you, Whoever doeth sin is the servant of sin.
And the servant abideth not for ever in the house, but the Son for ever abideth. (aiōn g165)
36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
If He therefore, the Son, shall liberate you, truly shall you be sons of freedom.
37 I know you are Abraham’s descendants, but you are trying to kill Me because My word has no place within you.
I know that you are the seed of Abraham; but you seek to kill me, because in my word you do not concur.
38 I speak of what I have seen in the presence of the Father, and you do what you have heard from your father.”
That which I have seen with my Father I speak, and that which you have seen with your father you do.
39 “Abraham is our father,” they replied. “If you were children of Abraham,” said Jesus, “you would do the works of Abraham.
They answered and said to him, Our father is Abraham. Jeshu saith to them, If you were the sons of Abraham, the works of Abraham you would do.
40 But now you are trying to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham never did such a thing.
But now you seek to kill me, the man who the truth has spoken with you, which I have heard from Aloha. This Abraham did not.
41 You are doing the works of your father.” “We are not illegitimate children,” they declared. “Our only Father is God Himself.”
But you do the deeds of your father. They say to him, We from fornication are not; one Father have we, Aloha.
42 Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I have come here from God. I have not come on My own, but He sent Me.
Jeshu saith to them, If Aloha were your Father, you would love me; for I from Aloha came forth, and I came not of myself, but he sent me.
43 Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you are unable to accept My message.
Wherefore my word do you not acknowledge? Because you cannot hear my word.
44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out his desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, refusing to uphold the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, because he is a liar and the father of lies.
You are from your father the accuser, and the desires of your father you are willing to do. He from the beginning was the killer of men, and in the truth he stood not; therefore the truth is not in him. And when he speaketh a lie, of his own he speaketh, because of falsity he is also the father.
45 But because I speak the truth, you do not believe Me!
But I (speak the truth, and) because the truth I speak, you believe me not.
46 Which of you can prove Me guilty of sin? If I speak the truth, why do you not believe Me?
Who of you convicteth me of sin? Yet if the truth I speak, why do you not believe me?
47 Whoever belongs to God hears the words of God. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.”
He who is of Aloha the words of Aloha heareth: therefore you hear not, because you are not of Aloha.
48 The Jews answered Him, “Are we not right to say that You are a Samaritan and You have a demon?”
The Jihudoyee answered and say to him, Did we not well say, Thou art a Shomroya, and hast a devil?
49 “I do not have a demon,” Jesus replied, “but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me.
Jeshu said to them, I have no devil; but my Father I honour, and you debase me.
50 I do not seek My own glory. There is One who seeks it, and He is the Judge.
But I seek not my own glory; He is, who seeketh and judgeth.
Amen, amen, I say to you, That he who my word keepeth, death shall not see for ever. (aiōn g165)
52 “Now we know that You have a demon!” declared the Jews. “Abraham died, and so did the prophets, yet You say that anyone who keeps Your word will never taste death. (aiōn g165)
The Jihudoyee say to him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, that he who thy word keepeth, death shall not taste for ever. (aiōn g165)
53 Are You greater than our father Abraham? He died, as did the prophets. Who do You claim to be?”
Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead; and than the prophets, who are dead? What makest thou thyself?
54 Jesus answered, “If I glorify Myself, My glory means nothing. The One who glorifies Me is My Father, of whom you say ‘He is our God.’
Jeshu said to them, If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing: it is my Father who glorifieth me; he, of whom you say that he is your God.
55 You do not know Him, but I know Him. If I said I did not know Him, I would be a liar like you. But I do know Him, and I keep His word.
But you know him not; but I know him: and should I say that I know him not, I should be a liar like you. But I know him, and keep his words.
56 Your father Abraham rejoiced that he would see My day. He saw it and was glad.”
Abraham, your father, desired to see my day, and he saw, and was glad.
57 Then the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and You have seen Abraham?”
The Jihudoyee said to him, Yet the son of fifty years thou art not, and Abraham hast thou seen?
58 “Truly, truly, I tell you,” Jesus declared, “before Abraham was born, I am!”
Jeshu saith to them, Amen, amen, I say to you, Before Abraham was, I AM.
59 At this, they picked up stones to throw at Him. But Jesus was hidden and went out of the temple area.
And they took up stones to stone him; but Jeshu concealed himself, and went from the temple, and passed among them, and went.
