< John 8 >
1 But Jesus went to the mount of Olives.
And Iesus went vnto mounte Olivete
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 erly in ye mornynge came agayne into ye temple and all the people came vnto him and he sate doune 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,
And the scribes and ye pharises brought vnto him a woman taken in advoutry and set hyr in the myddes
4 they say to him, Teacher, this woman has been taken in the very act, committing adultery.
and sayde vnto him: Master this woman was taken in advoutry even as the dede was a doyng.
5 Now in the law Moses has commanded us to stone such; thou therefore, what sayest thou?
Moses in the lawe comaunded vs yt suche shuld be stoned. What sayest thou therfore?
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 sayde to tempt him: that they myght have wherof to accuse him. Iesus stouped doune and with his fynger wrote on the grounde.
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 whyll they continued axynge him he lyfte him selfe vp and sayde vnto them: let him yt is amoge you wt out synne cast the fyrst stone at her.
8 And again stooping down he wrote on the ground.
And agayne he stouped doune and wrote on ye grounde.
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 assone as they hearde that they went out one by one the eldest fyrst. And Iesus was lefte a lone and the woman stondynge in ye myddes.
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 lyfte vp him selfe agayne and sawe no man but the woman he sayde vnto hyr. Woman where are those thyne accusars? Hath no man condempned the?
11 And she said, No one, sir. And Jesus said to her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
She sayde: No man Lorde. And Iesus sayde: Nether do I condempne the. Goo and synne no moare.
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 agayne vnto them sayinge: I am the light of the worlde. He that foloweth me shall not walke in darcknes: but shall have the light of lyfe.
13 The Pharisees therefore said to him, Thou bearest witness concerning thyself; thy witness is not true.
The pharises sayde vnto him: thou bearest recorde of thy sylfe 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 knowe whece I came and whyther I goo. But ye cannot tell whece I come and whyther I goo.
15 Ye judge according to the flesh, I judge no one.
Ye iudge after ye flesshe. 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.
though I iudge yet is my iudgmet true. For I am not alone: but I and the father that sent me.
17 And in your law too it is written that the testimony of two men is true:
It is also written in youre lawe 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 yt 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 sayde they vnto him: where is thy father? Iesus answered: ye nether knowe me nor yet my father. Yf ye had knowen me ye shuld have knowen my father 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 tresury as he taught in the temple and no man layde hondes on him for his tyme 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 sayde Iesus agayne vnto them. I goo my waye and ye shall seke me and shall dye in youre synnes. Whyther I goo thyther can ye not come.
22 The Jews therefore said, Will he kill himself, that he says, Where I go ye cannot come?
Then sayde the Iewes: will he kyll him selfe because he sayth: whyther I goo thyther 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 he sayde vnto the: ye are fro beneth I am from above. Ye are of this worlde 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 sayde therfore vnto you that ye shall dye in youre synnes. For except ye beleve that I am he ye shall dye in youre synnes.
25 They said therefore to him, Who art thou? [And] Jesus said to them, Altogether that which I also say to you.
Then sayde they vnto him who arte thou? And Iesus sayde vnto them: Even ye very same thinge yt I saye vnto you.
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 have many thinges to saye and to iudge of you. But he yt sent me is true. And I speake in ye worlde those thinges which I have hearde of him.
27 They knew not that he spoke to them of the Father.
They understode not that he spake of his 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 sayde Iesus vnto them: when ye have lyft vp an hye the sonne of man then shall ye knowe that I am he and that I do nothinge of my selfe: but as my father hath taught me even so I speake:
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 that sent me is with me. The father hath not lefte me alone for I do alwayes those thinges that please him.
30 As he spoke these things many believed on him.
As he spake these wordes many beleved on him.
31 Jesus therefore said to the Jews who believed him, If ye abide in my word, ye are truly my disciples;
Then sayde Iesus to those Iewes which beleved on him. If ye cotinue in my wordes then are ye my very disciples
32 and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.
and shall knowe 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: We be Abrahams seede and were never bonde to eny man: why sayest thou then ye shalbe made fre.
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 saye vnto you that whosoever committeth synne is the servaunt of synne.
35 Now the bondman abides not in the house for ever: the son abides for ever. (aiōn )
And the servaunt abydeth not in the housse for ever: But ye sonne abydeth ever. (aiōn )
36 If therefore the Son shall set you free, ye shall be really free.
If the sonne therfore shall make you fre then are ye fre in dede.
37 I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word has no entrance in you.
I knowe that ye are Abrahams seed: But ye seke meanes to kyll me because my sayinges have 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 I have sene with my father: and ye do that which ye have sene with youre 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 sayde vnto him: Abraham is oure father. Iesus sayde vnto them. If ye were Abrahams chyldren ye wolde do the dedes 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 now ye goo about io kyll me a man that have tolde you the truthe which I have herde of god: this dyd 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 dedes of youre father. Then sayde they vnto him: we were not borne of fornicacion. We have 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.
Iesus sayde vnto them: yf God were youre father then wolde ye love me. For I proceaded forthe and come from God. Nether came I of my selfe but he sent me.
43 Why do ye not know my speech? Because ye cannot hear my word.
Why do ye not knowe my speache? Even because ye cannot abyde the hearynge of my wordes.
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 youre father the devyll and the lustes of youre father ye will folowe. He was a murtherer from the beginnynge and aboode not in the trueth because ther is no trueth in him. When he speaketh a lye then speaketh he of his awne. For he is a lyar and the father therof.
45 and because I speak the truth, ye do not believe me.
And because I tell you ye trueth therfore ye beleve 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 synne? If I saye ye trueth why do not ye beleve 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 goddes wordes Ye therfore 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 sayde vnto him: Saye we not well that thou arte a Samaritane and hast the devyll?
49 Jesus answered, I have not a demon; but I honour my Father, and ye dishonour me.
Iesus answered: I have not the devyll: but I honour my father and ye have dishonoured me.
50 But I do not seek my own glory: there is he that seeks and judges.
I seke not myne awne prayse: but ther is one that seketh 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 saye vnto you yf a man kepe my sayinges he shall never se deeth. (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 sayde the Iewes to him: Now knowe we that thou hast the devyll. Abraha is deed and also the Prophetes: and yet thou sayest yf a man kepe my sayinge he shall never tast of deeth. (aiōn )
53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who has died? and the prophets have died: whom makest thou thyself?
Arte thou greater then oure father Abraham which is deed? and the Prophetes are deed. 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: Yf I honoure my selfe myne honoure is nothinge worth. It is my father that honoureth me which ye saye is youre 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 ye have not knowen him: but I knowe him. And yf I shuld saye I knowe him not I shuld be a lyar lyke vnto you. But I knowe him and kepe his sayinge.
56 Your father Abraham exulted in that he should see my day, and he saw and rejoiced.
Youre father Abraham was glad to se my daye and he sawe it and reioysed.
57 The Jews therefore said to him, Thou hast not yet fifty years, and hast thou seen Abraham?
Then sayde the Iewes vnto him: thou arte not yet. l. yere olde and hast thou sene Abraham?
58 Jesus said to them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
Iesus sayd vnto them: Verely verely I saye vnto you: yer 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 toke they vp stones to caste at him. But Iesus hid him selfe and went out of ye temple.
