< John 8 >
1 But Jesus went to the mount of Olives.
And Iesus went vnto the mount of Oliues,
2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him; and he sat down and taught them.
And early in the morning came againe into the Temple, and all the people came vnto him, and he sate downe, and taught them.
3 And the scribes and the Pharisees bring [to him] a woman taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst,
Then the Scribes, and the Pharises brought vnto him a woman, taken in adulterie, and set her in the middes,
4 they say to him, Teacher, this woman has been taken in the very act, committing adultery.
And said vnto him, Master, we foud this woman committing adulterie, euen in the very acte.
5 Now in the law Moses has commanded us to stone such; thou therefore, what sayest thou?
Now Moses in our Law commanded, that such should be stoned: what sayest thou therefore?
6 But this they said proving him, that they might have [something] to accuse him [of]. But Jesus, having stooped down, wrote with his finger on the ground.
And this they saide to tempt him, that they might haue, whereof to accuse him. But Iesus stouped downe, and with his finger wrote on the groud.
7 But when they continued asking him, he lifted himself up and said to them, Let him that is without sin among you first cast the stone at her.
And while they continued asking him, hee lift himselfe vp, and sayde vnto them, Let him that is among you without sinne, cast the first stone at her.
8 And again stooping down he wrote on the ground.
And againe hee stouped downe, and wrote on the ground.
9 But they, having heard [that], went out one by one beginning from the elder ones until the last; and Jesus was left alone and the woman standing there.
And when they heard it, being accused by their owne conscience, they went out one by one, beginning at ye eldest euen to the last: so Iesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the mids.
10 And Jesus, lifting himself up and seeing no one but the woman, said to her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? Has no one condemned thee?
When Iesus had lift vp himselfe againe, and sawe no man, but the woman, hee saide vnto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
11 And she said, No one, sir. And Jesus said to her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
She said, No man, Lord. And Iesus said, Neither do I condemne thee: go and sinne no more.
12 Again therefore Jesus spoke to them, saying, I am the light of the world; he that follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
Then spake Iesus againe vnto them, saying, I am that light of the worlde: hee that followeth mee, shall not walke in darkenes, but shall haue that light of life.
13 The Pharisees therefore said to him, Thou bearest witness concerning thyself; thy witness is not true.
The Pharises therefore saide vnto him, Thou bearest recorde of thy selfe: thy recorde is not true.
14 Jesus answered and said to them, Even if I bear witness concerning myself, my witness is true, because I know whence I came and whither I go: but ye know not whence I come and whither I go.
Iesus answered, and sayde vnto them, Though I beare recorde of my selfe, yet my recorde is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go: but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I goe.
15 Ye judge according to the flesh, I judge no one.
Ye iudge after the flesh: I iudge no man.
16 And if also I judge, my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who has sent me.
And if I also iudge, my iudgement is true: for I am not alone, but I, and the Father, that sent mee.
17 And in your law too it is written that the testimony of two men is true:
And it is also written in your Lawe, that the testimonie of two men is true.
18 I am [one] who bear witness concerning myself, and the Father who has sent me bears witness concerning me.
I am one that beare witnes of my selfe, and the Father that sent me, beareth witnes of me.
19 They said to him therefore, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye know neither me nor my Father. If ye had known me, ye would have known also my Father.
Then saide they vnto him, Where is that Father of thine? Iesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor that Father of mine. If ye had knowen me, ye should haue knowen that Father of mine also.
20 These words spoke he in the treasury, teaching in the temple; and no one took him, for his hour was not yet come.
These wordes spake Iesus in the treasurie, as hee taught in the Temple, and no man layde handes on him: for his houre was not yet come.
21 He said therefore again to them, I go away, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sin; where I go ye cannot come.
Then saide Iesus againe vnto them, I goe my way, and ye shall seeke me, and shall die in your sinnes, Whither I goe, can ye not come.
22 The Jews therefore said, Will he kill himself, that he says, Where I go ye cannot come?
Then said the Iewes, Will he kill himselfe, because he saith, Whither I goe, can ye not come?
23 And he said to them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above. Ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
And hee saide vnto them, Ye are from beneath, I am from aboue: ye are of this world, I am not of this worlde.
24 I said therefore to you, that ye shall die in your sins; for unless ye shall believe that I am [he], ye shall die in your sins.
I said therefore vnto you, That ye shall die in your sinnes: for except ye beleeue, that I am he, ye shall die in your sinnes.
25 They said therefore to him, Who art thou? [And] Jesus said to them, Altogether that which I also say to you.
Then saide they vnto him, Who art thou? And Iesus saide vnto them, Euen the same thing that I said vnto you from the beginning.
26 I have many things to say and to judge concerning you, but he that has sent me is true, and I, what I have heard from him, these things I say to the world.
I haue many things to say, and to iudge of you: but he that sent me, is true, and the things that I haue heard of him, those speake I to the world.
27 They knew not that he spoke to them of the Father.
They vnderstoode not that hee spake to them of the Father.
28 Jesus therefore said to them, When ye shall have lifted up the Son of man, then ye shall know that I am [he], and [that] I do nothing of myself, but as the Father has taught me I speak these things.
Then said Iesus vnto them, When ye haue lift vp the Sonne of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I doe nothing of my selfe, but as my Father hath taught me, so I speake these things.
29 And he that has sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, because I do always the things that are pleasing to him.
For he that sent me, is with me: the Father hath not left me alone, because I do alwayes those things that please him.
30 As he spoke these things many believed on him.
As hee spake these thinges, many beleeued in him.
31 Jesus therefore said to the Jews who believed him, If ye abide in my word, ye are truly my disciples;
Then saide Iesus to the Iewes which beleeued in him, If ye continue in my worde, ye are verely my disciples,
32 and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.
And shall know the trueth, and the trueth shall make you free.
33 They answered him, We are Abraham's seed, and have never been under bondage to any one; how sayest thou, Ye shall become free?
They answered him, Wee be Abrahams seede, and were neuer bonde to any man: why sayest thou then, Ye shalbe made free?
34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say to you, Every one that practises sin is the bondman of sin.
Iesus answered them, Verely, verely I say vnto you, that whosoeuer committeth sinne, is the seruant of sinne.
35 Now the bondman abides not in the house for ever: the son abides for ever. (aiōn )
And the seruant abideth not in the house for euer: but the Sonne abideth for euer. (aiōn )
36 If therefore the Son shall set you free, ye shall be really free.
If that Sonne therefore shall make you free, ye shalbe free in deede.
37 I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word has no entrance in you.
I know that ye are Abrahams seede, but yee seeke to kill mee, because my worde hath no place in you.
38 I speak what I have seen with my Father, and ye then do what ye have seen with your father.
I speake that which I haue seene with my Father: and ye doe that which ye haue seene with 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, and saide vnto him, Abraham is our father. Iesus said vnto them, If ye were Abrahams children, ye woulde doe the workes of Abraham.
40 but now ye seek to kill me, a man who has spoken the truth to you, which I have heard from God: this did not Abraham.
But nowe ye goe about to kill mee, a man that haue told you the trueth, which I haue heard of God: this did not Abraham.
41 Ye do the works of your father. They said [therefore] to him, We are not born of fornication; we have one father, God.
Ye do the workes of your father. Then said they to him, We are not borne of fornication: we haue one Father, which is God.
42 Jesus said to them, If God were your father ye would have loved me, for I came forth from God and am come [from him]; for neither am I come of myself, but he has sent me.
Therefore Iesus sayde vnto them, If God were your Father, then woulde ye loue mee: for I proceeded foorth, and came from God, neither came I of my selfe, but he sent me.
43 Why do ye not know my speech? Because ye cannot hear my word.
Why doe ye not vnderstande my talke? because ye cannot heare my worde.
44 Ye are of the devil, as [your] father, and ye desire to do the lusts of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks falsehood, he speaks of what is his own; for he is a liar and its father:
Ye are of your father the deuill, and the lustes of your father ye will doe: hee hath bene a murtherer from the beginning, and abode not in the trueth, because there is no trueth in him. When hee speaketh a lie, then speaketh hee of his owne: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.
45 and because I speak the truth, ye do not believe me.
And because I tell you the trueth, yee beleeue me not.
46 Which of you convinces me of sin? If I speak truth, why do ye not believe me?
Which of you can rebuke me of sinne? and if I say the trueth, why do ye not beleeue me?
47 He that is of God hears the words of God: therefore ye hear [them] not, because ye are not of God.
He that is of God, heareth Gods wordes: yee therefore heare them not, because ye are not of God.
48 The Jews answered and said to him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan and hast a demon?
Then answered the Iewes, and said vnto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritane, and hast a deuil?
49 Jesus answered, I have not a demon; but I honour my Father, and ye dishonour me.
Iesus answered, I haue not a deuil, but I honour my Father, and ye haue dishonoured me.
50 But I do not seek my own glory: there is he that seeks and judges.
And I seeke not mine owne praise: but there is one that seeketh it, and iudgeth.
51 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If any one shall keep my word, he shall never see death. (aiōn )
Verely, verely I say vnto you, If a man keepe my word, he shall neuer see death. (aiōn )
52 The Jews therefore said to him, Now we know that thou hast a demon. Abraham has died, and the prophets, and thou sayest, If any one keep my word, he shall never taste death. (aiōn )
Then said the Iewes to him, Now know we that thou hast a deuill. Abraham is dead, and the Prophets: and thou sayest, If a man keepe my worde, he shall neuer taste of death. (aiōn )
53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who has died? and the prophets have died: whom makest thou thyself?
Art thou greater then our father Abraham, which is dead? and the Prophets are dead: whome makest thou thy selfe?
54 Jesus answered, If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing: it is my Father who glorifies me, [of] whom ye say, He is our God.
Iesus answered, If I honour my selfe, mine honour is nothing worth: it is my Father that honoureth me, whome ye say, that hee is your God.
55 And ye know him not; but I know him; and if I said, I know him not, I should be like you, a liar. But I know him, and I keep his word.
Yet ye haue not knowen him: but I knowe him, and if I should say I know him not, I should be a liar like vnto you: but I knowe him, and keepe his worde.
56 Your father Abraham exulted in that he should see my day, and he saw and rejoiced.
Your father Abraham reioyced to see my day, and he sawe it, and was glad.
57 The Jews therefore said to him, Thou hast not yet fifty years, and hast thou seen Abraham?
Then sayd ye Iewes vnto him, Thou art not yet fiftie yeere olde, and hast thou seene Abraham?
58 Jesus said to them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
Iesus sayd vnto them, Verely, verely I say vnto you, before Abraham was, I am.
59 They took up therefore stones that they might cast [them] at him; but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple, [going through the midst of them, and thus passed on.]
Then tooke they vp stones, to cast at him, but Iesus hid himselfe, and went out of the Temple: And hee passed through the middes of them, and so went his way.
