John 8
1 But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
Iesus autem perrexit in montem Oliveti:
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.
et diluculo iterum venit in templum, et omnis populus venit ad eum, et sedens docebat eos.
3 The scribes and Pharisees, however, brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before them
Adducunt autem Scribae, et Pharisaei mulierem in adulterio deprehensam: et statuerunt eam in medio,
4 and said, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery.
et dixerunt ei: Magister, haec mulier modo deprehensa est in adulterio.
5 In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such a woman. So what do You say?”
In lege autem Moyses mandavit nobis huiusmodi lapidare. Tu ergo quid dicis?
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.
Hoc autem dicebant tentantes eum, ut possent accusare eum. Iesus autem inclinans se deorsum, digito scribebat in terra.
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.”
Cum ergo perseverarent interrogantes eum, erexit se, et dixit eis: Qui sine peccato est vestrum, primus in illam lapidem mittat.
8 And again He bent down and wrote on the ground.
Et iterum se inclinans, scribebat in terra.
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.
Audientes autem haec unus post unum exibant, incipientes a senioribus: et remansit solus Iesus, et mulier in medio stans.
10 Then Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are your accusers? Has no one condemned you?”
Erigens autem se Iesus, dixit ei: Mulier, ubi sunt, qui te accusabant? nemo te condemnavit?
11 “No one, Lord,” she answered. “Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Now go and sin no more.”
Quae dixit: Nemo, Domine. Dixit autem Iesus: Nec ego te condemnabo: Vade, et iam amplius noli peccare.
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.”
Iterum ergo locutus est eis Iesus, dicens: Ego sum lux mundi: qui sequitur me, non ambulat in tenebris, sed habebit lumen vitae.
13 So the Pharisees said to Him, “You are testifying about Yourself; Your testimony is not valid.”
Dixerunt ergo ei Pharisaei: Tu de teipso testimonium perhibes: testimonium tuum non est verum.
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.
Respondit Iesus, et dixit eis: Et si ego testimonium perhibeo de meipso, verum est testimonium meum: quia scio unde veni, et quo vado: vos autem nescitis unde venio, aut quo vado.
15 You judge according to the flesh; I judge no one.
Vos secundum carnem iudicatis: ego non iudico quemquam:
16 But even if I do judge, My judgment is true, because I am not alone; I am with the Father who sent Me.
et si iudico ego, iudicium meum verum est, quia solus non sum: sed ego, et qui misit me, Pater.
17 Even in your own Law it is written that the testimony of two men is valid.
Et in lege vestra scriptum est, quia duorum hominum testimonium verum est.
18 I am One who testifies about Myself, and the Father, who sent Me, also testifies about Me.”
Ego sum, qui testimonium perhibeo de me ipso: et testimonium perhibet de me, qui misit me, Pater.
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.”
Dicebant ergo ei: Ubi est Pater tuus? Respondit Iesus: Neque me scitis, neque Patrem meum: si me sciretis, forsitan et Patrem meum sciretis.
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.
Haec verba locutus est Iesus in gazophylacio, docens in templo: et nemo apprehendit eum, quia necdum venerat hora eius.
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.”
Dixit ergo iterum eis Iesus: Ego vado, et quaeretis me, et in peccato vestro moriemini. Quo ego vado, vos non potestis venire.
22 So the Jews began to ask, “Will He kill Himself, since He says, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come’?”
Dicebant ergo Iudaei: Numquid interficiet semetipsum, quia dixit: Quo ego vado, vos non potestis venire?
23 Then He told them, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.
Et dicebat eis: Vos de deorsum estis, ego de superius sum. Vos de mundo hoc estis, ego non sum de hoc mundo.
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.”
Dixi ergo vobis quia moriemini in peccatis vestris: si enim non credideritis quia ego sum, moriemini in peccato vestro.
25 “Who are You?” they asked. “Just what I have been telling you from the beginning,” Jesus replied.
Dicebant ergo ei: Tu quis es? Dixit eis Iesus: Principium, qui et loquor vobis.
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.”
Multa habeo de vobis loqui, et iudicare. sed qui me misit, verax est: et ego quae audivi ab eo, haec loquor in mundo.
27 They did not understand that He was telling them about the Father.
Et non cognoverunt quia Patrem eius dicebat Deum.
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.
Dixit ergo eis Iesus: Cum exaltaveritis Filium hominis, tunc cognoscetis quia ego sum, et a meipso facio nihil, sed sicut docuit me Pater, haec loquor:
29 He who sent Me is with Me. He has not left Me alone, because I always do what pleases Him.”
et qui me misit, mecum est, et non reliquit me solum: quia ego quae placita sunt ei, facio semper.
30 As Jesus spoke these things, many believed in Him.
Haec illo loquente, multi crediderunt in eum.
31 So He said to the Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, you are truly My disciples.
Dicebat ergo Iesus ad eos, qui crediderunt ei, Iudaeos: Si vos manseritis in sermone meo, vere discipuli mei eritis:
32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
et cognoscetis veritatem, et veritas liberabit vos.
33 “We are Abraham’s descendants,” they answered. “We have never been slaves to anyone. How can You say we will be set free?”
Responderunt ei: Semen Abrahae sumus, et nemini servivimus umquam: quomodo tu dicis: Liberi eritis?
34 Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin.
Respondit eis Iesus: Amen, amen dico vobis: quia omnis, qui facit peccatum, servus est peccati.
servus autem non manet in domo in aeternum: filius autem manet in aeternum. (aiōn g165)
36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
si ergo vos filius liberaverit, vere liberi eritis.
37 I know you are Abraham’s descendants, but you are trying to kill Me because My word has no place within you.
Scio quia filii Abrahae estis: sed quaeritis me interficere, quia sermo meus non capit in vobis.
38 I speak of what I have seen in the presence of the Father, and you do what you have heard from your father.”
Ego quod vidi apud Patrem meum, loquor: et vos quae vidistis apud patrem vestrum, facitis.
39 “Abraham is our father,” they replied. “If you were children of Abraham,” said Jesus, “you would do the works of Abraham.
Responderunt, et dixerunt ei: Pater noster Abraham est. Dicit eis Iesus: Si filii Abrahae estis, opera Abrahae facite.
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.
Nunc autem quaeritis me interficere, hominem, qui veritatem vobis locutus sum, quam audivi a Deo: hoc Abraham non fecit.
41 You are doing the works of your father.” “We are not illegitimate children,” they declared. “Our only Father is God Himself.”
Vos facitis opera patris vestri. Dixerunt itaque ei: Nos ex fornicatione non sumus nati: unum patrem habemus Deum.
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.
Dixit ergo eis Iesus: Si Deus pater vester esset: diligeretis utique et me. ego enim ex Deo processi, et veni: neque enim a meipso veni, sed ille me misit.
43 Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you are unable to accept My message.
Quare loquelam meam non cognoscitis? Quia non potestis audire sermonem meum.
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.
Vos ex patre diabolo estis: et desideria patris vestri vultis facere. ille homicida erat ab initio, et in veritate non stetit: quia non est veritas in eo: cum loquitur mendacium, ex propriis loquitur, quia mendax est, et pater eius.
45 But because I speak the truth, you do not believe Me!
Ego autem si veritatem dico, non creditis mihi.
46 Which of you can prove Me guilty of sin? If I speak the truth, why do you not believe Me?
Quis ex vobis arguet me de peccato? Si veritatem dico vobis, quare non creditis mihi?
47 Whoever belongs to God hears the words of God. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.”
Qui ex Deo est, verba Dei audit. Propterea vos non auditis, quia ex Deo non estis.
48 The Jews answered Him, “Are we not right to say that You are a Samaritan and You have a demon?”
Responderunt ergo Iudaei, et dixerunt ei: Nonne bene dicimus nos quia Samaritanus es tu, et daemonium habes?
49 “I do not have a demon,” Jesus replied, “but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me.
Respondit Iesus: Ego daemonium non habeo: sed honorifico Patrem meum, et vos inhonorastis me.
50 I do not seek My own glory. There is One who seeks it, and He is the Judge.
Ego autem non quaero gloriam meam: est qui quaerat, et iudicet.
Amen, amen dico vobis: si quis sermonem meum servaverit, mortem non videbit in aeternum. (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)
Dixerunt ergo Iudaei: Nunc cognovimus quia daemonium habes. Abraham mortuus est, et Prophetae: et tu dicis: Si quis sermonem meum servaverit, non gustabit mortem in aeternum. (aiōn g165)
53 Are You greater than our father Abraham? He died, as did the prophets. Who do You claim to be?”
Numquid tu maior es patre nostro Abraham, qui mortuus est? et Prophetae mortui sunt. Quem te ipsum facis?
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.’
Respondit Iesus: Si ego glorifico meipsum, gloria mea nihil est: est Pater meus, qui glorificat me, quem vos dicitis quia Deus vester est,
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.
et non cognovistis eum: ego autem novi eum: Et si dixero quia non scio eum, ero similis vobis, mendax. Sed scio eum, et sermonem eius servo.
56 Your father Abraham rejoiced that he would see My day. He saw it and was glad.”
Abraham pater vester exultavit ut videret diem meum: vidit, et gavisus est.
57 Then the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and You have seen Abraham?”
Dixerunt ergo Iudaei ad eum: Quinquaginta annos nondum habes, et Abraham vidisti?
58 “Truly, truly, I tell you,” Jesus declared, “before Abraham was born, I am!”
Dixit eis Iesus: Amen, amen dico vobis, antequam Abraham fieret, ego sum.
59 At this, they picked up stones to throw at Him. But Jesus was hidden and went out of the temple area.
Tulerunt ergo lapides, ut iacerent in eum: Iesus autem abscondit se, et exivit de templo.
