John 8
1 But Jesus went to the mount of Olives.
And at dawn He came again to the temple [courts],
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 all the people were coming to Him, and having sat down, He was teaching them;
3 And the scribes and the Pharisees bring [to him] a woman taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst,
and the scribes and the Pharisees bring to Him a woman having been taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst,
4 they say to him, Teacher, this woman has been taken in the very act, committing adultery.
they say to Him, “Teacher, this woman was taken in the very crime [of] committing adultery,
5 Now in the law Moses has commanded us to stone such; thou therefore, what sayest thou?
and in the Law, Moses commanded us that such be stoned; You, therefore, what do You say?”
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 said, trying Him, that they might have to accuse Him. And Jesus, having stooped down, with the finger He was writing on the ground,
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 when they continued asking Him, having bent Himself back, He said to them, “The sinless of you—let him cast the first stone at her”;
8 And again stooping down he wrote on the ground.
and again having stooped down, He was writing 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 they having heard, and being convicted by the conscience, were going forth one by one, having begun from the elders—to the last; and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
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?
And Jesus having bent Himself back, and having seen no one but the woman, said to her, “Woman, where are those—your accusers? Did no one pass sentence on you?”
11 And she said, No one, sir. And Jesus said to her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
And she said, “No one, Lord”; and Jesus said to her, “Neither do I pass sentence on you; be going on, and sin 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.
Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I AM the light of the world; he who is following Me will not walk in the darkness, but he will have the light of life.”
13 The Pharisees therefore said to him, Thou bearest witness concerning thyself; thy witness is not true.
The Pharisees, therefore, said to Him, “You testify of Yourself, Your testimony 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.
Jesus answered and said to them, “And if I testify of Myself—My testimony is true, because I have known from where I came, and to where I go, and you have not known from where I come, or to where I go.
15 Ye judge according to the flesh, I judge no one.
You judge according to the flesh; I do not judge anyone,
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 even if I do judge My judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent Me;
17 And in your law too it is written that the testimony of two men is true:
and also in your law it has been written that the testimony 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] who is testifying of Myself, and the Father who sent Me testifies 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.
They said, therefore, to Him, “Where is Your father?” Jesus answered, “You have neither known Me nor My Father: if you had known Me, you had also known My Father.”
20 These words spoke he in the treasury, teaching in the temple; and no one took him, for his hour was not yet come.
Jesus spoke these sayings in the treasury, teaching in the temple, and no one seized Him, because His hour had 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.
therefore Jesus said again to them, “I go away, and you will seek Me, and you will die in your sin; to where I go away, you are not able to come.”
22 The Jews therefore said, Will he kill himself, that he says, Where I go ye cannot come?
The Jews, therefore, said, “Will He kill Himself, because He says, To where I go away, you are not able to 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 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 ye shall die in your sins; for unless ye shall believe that I am [he], ye shall die in your sins.
I said, therefore, to you, that you will die in your sins, for if you may not believe that I AM, you will die in your sins.”
25 They said therefore to him, Who art thou? [And] Jesus said to them, Altogether that which I also say to you.
They said, therefore, to Him, “You—who are You?” And Jesus said to them, “Even what I spoke of to you at 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.
many things I have to speak concerning you and to judge, but He who sent Me is true, and I—what things I heard from Him—these I say to the world.”
27 They knew not that he spoke to them of the Father.
They did not know that He spoke 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.
Jesus, therefore, said to them, “When you may lift up the Son of Man then you will know that I AM; and I do nothing of Myself, but according as My Father taught Me, these things I speak;
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.
and He who sent Me is with Me; the Father did not leave Me alone, because I always do the things pleasing to Him.”
30 As he spoke these things many believed on him.
As He is speaking these things, many believed in Him;
31 Jesus therefore said to the Jews who believed him, If ye abide in my word, ye are truly my disciples;
Jesus, therefore, said to the Jews who believed in Him, “If you may remain in My word, you are truly My disciples,
32 and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.
and you will know the truth, and the truth will 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, “We are seed of Abraham; and we have been servants to no one at any time; how do You say—You will become free?”
34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say to you, Every one that practises sin is the bondman of sin.
Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who is committing sin, is a servant of sin,
and the servant does not remain in the house—throughout the age, the Son remains—throughout the age; (aiōn g165)
36 If therefore the Son shall set you free, ye shall be really free.
if then the Son may make you free, in reality you will be free.
37 I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word has no entrance in you.
I have known that you are 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 ye then do what ye have seen with your father.
I speak that which I have seen with My Father, and you, therefore, do that which you have seen 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 said to Him, “Our father is Abraham”; Jesus says to them, “If you were children of Abraham, the works of Abraham you were doing;
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.
and now, you seek to kill Me—a Man who has spoken to you the truth I heard from God; Abraham did not do this;
41 Ye do the works of your father. They said [therefore] to him, We are not born of fornication; we have one father, God.
you do the works of your father.” They said, therefore, to Him, “We have not been born of whoredom; we have one Father—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.
Jesus then said to them, “If God were your father, you were loving Me, for I came forth from God, and am come; for neither have I come of Myself, but He sent Me;
43 Why do ye not know my speech? Because ye cannot hear my word.
why do you not know My speech? Because you are not able to hear My word.
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:
You are of a father—the Devil, and the desires of your father you will to do; he was a manslayer from the beginning, and he has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him; when one may speak the falsehood, he speaks of his own, because he is a liar—also his father.
45 and because I speak the truth, ye do not believe me.
And because I say the truth, you do not believe Me.
46 Which of you convinces me of sin? If I speak truth, why do ye not believe me?
Who of you convicts Me of sin? And if I speak truth, why do you not believe Me?
47 He that is of God hears the words of God: therefore ye hear [them] not, because ye are not of God.
He who is of God, he hears the sayings of God; because of this you do not hear, because you 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?
The Jews, therefore, answered and said to Him, “Do we not say well, that You are a Samaritan, and have a demon?”
49 Jesus answered, I have not a demon; but I honour my Father, and ye dishonour me.
Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon, but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me;
50 But I do not seek my own glory: there is he that seeks and judges.
and I do not seek My own glory; there is [One] who is seeking and is judging;
51 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If any one shall keep my word, he shall never see death. (aiōn g165)
truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone may keep My word, he may not see death—throughout the age.” (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
The Jews, therefore, said to Him, “Now we have known that You have a demon; Abraham died, and the prophets, and You say, If anyone may keep My word, he will not taste of death—throughout the age! (aiōn g165)
53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who has died? and the prophets have died: whom makest thou thyself?
Are You 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 ye say, He is our God.
Jesus answered, “If I glorify Myself, My glory is nothing; it is My Father who is glorifying Me, of whom you say that He 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.
and you have not known Him, and I have known Him, and if I say that I have not known Him, I will be like you—speaking falsely; but I have known Him, and I keep His word;
56 Your father Abraham exulted in that he should see my day, and he saw and rejoiced.
your father Abraham was glad that he might see My day; and he saw, and rejoiced.”
57 The Jews therefore said to him, Thou hast not yet fifty years, and hast thou seen Abraham?
The Jews, therefore, said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and You have seen Abraham?”
58 Jesus said to them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham’s coming—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.]
they took up, therefore, stones that they may cast at Him, but Jesus hid Himself, and went forth out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
