John 8
1 But Jesus continued on to the Mount of Olives.
2 And early in the morning, he went again to the temple; and all the people came to him. And sitting down, he taught them.
3 Now the scribes and Pharisees brought forward a woman caught in adultery, and they stood her in front of them.
4 And they said to him: “Teacher, this woman was just now caught in adultery.
5 And in the law, Moses commanded us to stone such a one. Therefore, what do you say?”
6 But they were saying this to test him, so that they might be able to accuse him. Then Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the earth.
7 And then, when they persevered in questioning him, he stood upright and said to them, “Let whoever is without sin among you be the first to cast a stone at her.”
8 And bending down again, he wrote on the earth.
9 But upon hearing this, they went away, one by one, beginning with the eldest. And Jesus alone remained, with the woman standing in front of him.
10 Then Jesus, raising himself up, said to her: “Woman, where are those who accused you? Has no one condemned you?”
11 And she said, “No one, Lord.” Then Jesus said: “Neither will I condemn you. Go, and now do not choose to sin anymore.”
12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying: “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me does not walk in darkness, but shall 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 And so the Pharisees said to him, “You offer testimony about yourself; your testimony is not true.”
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 responded and said to them: “Even though I offer testimony about myself, my testimony is true, for I know where I came from and 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 do not judge anyone.
You judge according to the flesh; I judge no one.
16 And when I do judge, my judgment is true. For I am not alone, but it is I and he who sent me: the Father.
If I judge, my judgment is true; because I am not alone, but I and the One having sent me.
17 And it is written in your law that the testimony of two men is true.
And it has been written in our law, that the testimony of two men is true.
18 I am one who offers testimony about myself, and the Father who sent me offers testimony about me.”
I am the one testifying concerning myself, and the Father having sent me, testifies concerning me.
19 Therefore, they said to him, “Where is your Father?” Jesus answered: “You know neither me, nor my Father. If you did know me, perhaps 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 at the treasury, while teaching in the temple. And no one apprehended 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 Therefore, Jesus again spoke to them: “I am going, and you shall seek me. And you will die in your sin. Where I am going, you are not able to go.”
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 And so the Jews said, “Is he going to kill himself, for he said: ‘Where I am going, you are not able to go?’”
Then the Jews were saying, Whether will He kill Himself, because He says, Whither I go away, you are not able to come?
23 And he said to 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, You are from beneath; I am from above: you are of this world; I am not of this world.
24 Therefore, I said to you, that you will die in your sins. For if you will not believe that I am, you will die in your sin.”
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 And so they said to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them: “The Beginning, who is also speaking to you.
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 much to say about you and to judge. But he who sent me is true. And what I have heard from him, this I speak within 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 And they did not realize that he was calling God his Father.
They did not know that He spoke to them concerning the Father.
28 And so Jesus said to them: “When you will have lifted up the Son of man, then you shall realize that I am, and that I do nothing of myself, but just as the Father has taught me, so do I speak.
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 And he who sent me is with me, and he has not abandoned me alone. For I always do what is 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 was speaking these things, many believed in him.
He speaking these things, many believed on Him.
31 Therefore, Jesus said to those Jews who believed in him: “If you will abide in my word, you will truly be 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 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.”
and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
33 They answered him: “We are the offspring of Abraham, and we have never been a slave to anyone. How can you say, ‘You shall be set 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: “Amen, amen, I say to you, that everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin.
Jesus responded to them, Truly, truly, I say unto you, That every one doing sin is the slave of sin.
35 Now the slave does not abide in the house for eternity. Yet the Son does abide in eternity. (aiōn g165)
But the slave abides not in the house forever; the Son abides forever. (aiōn g165)
36 Therefore, if the Son has set you free, then you will truly be free.
If therefore the Son may make you free, you shall be free indeed.
37 I know that you are sons of Abraham. But you are seeking to kill me, because my word has not taken hold 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 speak what I have seen with my Father. And you do what 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 responded and said to him, “Abraham is our father.” Jesus said to them: “If you are the sons of Abraham, then 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 are seeking to kill me, a man who has spoken the truth to you, which I have heard from God. This is not what Abraham did.
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.” Therefore, they said to him: “We were not born out of fornication. 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 Then Jesus said to them: “If God were your father, certainly you would love me. For I proceeded and came from God. For I did not come from 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 you not recognize my speech? It is because you are not able to 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 will carry out the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning. And he did not stand in the truth, because the truth is not in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks it from his own self. 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 if I speak the truth, you do not believe me.
And because I speak the truth, you do not believe me.
46 Which of you can convict me of sin? If I speak the truth to you, 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 Whoever is of God, hears the words of God. For this reason, you do not hear them: 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 Therefore, the Jews responded and said to him, “Are we not correct in saying that you are a Samaritan, and that you 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 responded: “I do not have a demon. But I honor my Father, and you have dishonored me.
Jesus responded, I have not a demon; but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.
50 But I am not seeking 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 Amen, amen, I say to you, if anyone will have kept my word, he will not see death for eternity.” (aiōn g165)
Truly, truly, I say unto you, if any one may keep my word, he may never see death. (aiōn g165)
52 Therefore, the Jews said: “Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham is dead, and the Prophets; and yet you say, ‘If anyone will have kept my word, he shall not taste death for eternity.’ (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 is dead? And the prophets are dead. So who do you make yourself to be?”
Whether art thou greater than our father Abraham, who died? and the prophets died: whom do you make yourself?
54 Jesus responded: “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me. And you say about him that he is your 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 And yet you have not known him. But I know him. And if I were to say that I do not know him, then I would be like you, a liar. But I know him, and I 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 Abraham, your father, rejoiced that he might 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 And so the Jews said to him, “You have not yet reached fifty years, and you have 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, “Amen, amen, I say to you, before Abraham was made, I am.”
Jesus said unto them, Truly, truly, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
59 Therefore, they took up stones to cast at him. But Jesus hid himself, and he departed from the temple.
Then they took up stones that they might cast at Him: and Jesus was hidden, and departed out from the temple.
