John 8
1 But Jesus went to the mount of Olives.
Jesus went to the mount of Olives:
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 he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him; and he sat down 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 Pharisees brought to him a woman taken in adultery: and when they had 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, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
5 Now in the law Moses has commanded us to stone such; thou therefore, what sayest thou?
Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned; but what sayest thou?
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.
This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with [his] finger wrote on the ground, [as though he heard them not].
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.
So when they continued asking him, he raised himself, and said to them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
8 And again stooping down he wrote on the ground.
And again he stooped down, 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 they who heard [it], being convicted by [their own] conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, [even] 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?
When Jesus had raised himself, and saw none but the woman, he said to her, Woman, where are those thy 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 Jesus said to her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, 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.
Then Jesus spoke again to them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall 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, Thou testifiest concerning thyself; thy 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, Though I testify concerning myself, [yet] my testimony is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go.
15 Ye judge according to the flesh, I judge no one.
Ye judge after the flesh, I judge 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 yet if I judge, my judgment is 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 your law, 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 that testifieth concerning myself; and the Father that sent me, testifieth concerning 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 said they to him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye would have known 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 words Jesus spoke in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him, for his hour 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 said Jesus again to them, I am going away, and ye will seek me, and will die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.
22 The Jews therefore said, Will he kill himself, that he says, Where I go ye cannot come?
Then said the Jews, will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot 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, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye 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 ye will die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am [he], ye 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.
Then said they to him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith to them, Even [the same] that I said to 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 have many things to say, and to judge of you: but he that sent me, is true: and I speak to the world those things which I have heard from him.
27 They knew not that he spoke to them of the Father.
They understood not that he spoke to them concerning 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 Jesus to them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am [he], and [that] I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak 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.
And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.
30 As he spoke these things many believed on him.
As he spoke these words, many believed on him.
31 Jesus therefore said to the Jews who believed him, If ye abide in my word, ye are truly my disciples;
Then said Jesus to those Jews who believed on him, If ye continue in my word, ye are my disciples indeed;
32 and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth 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 are Abraham's offspring, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say to you, Every one that practises sin is the bondman of sin.
Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say to you, Whoever committeth sin, is the servant of sin.
And the servant abideth not in the house for ever, [but] the Son abideth for ever. (aiōn g165)
36 If therefore the Son shall set you free, ye shall be really free.
If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
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 Abraham's offspring; but ye seek to kill me, because my word 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 speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye 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, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith to them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works 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 seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard from 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 deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We are not born of fornication; we have one Father, [even] 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 said to them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
43 Why do ye not know my speech? Because ye cannot hear my word.
Why do ye not understand my speech? [even] because ye cannot 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:
Ye are of [your] father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do: he was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
45 and because I speak the truth, ye do not believe me.
And because I tell [you] the truth, ye believe me not.
46 Which of you convinces me of sin? If I speak truth, why do ye not believe me?
Which of you convicteth me of sin? And if I speak the truth, why do ye 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 that is of God, heareth God's words: ye therefore hear [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 Jews, and said to him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?
49 Jesus answered, I have not a demon; but I honour my Father, and ye dishonour me.
Jesus answered, I have not a demon; but I honor my Father, and ye dishonor me.
50 But I do not seek my own glory: there is he that seeks and judges.
And I seek not my own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
51 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If any one shall keep my word, he shall never see death. (aiōn g165)
Verily, verily, I say to you, If a man shall keep my saying, he shall never see death. (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)
Then said the Jews to him, Now we know that thou hast a demon. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man shall keep my saying, he shall never taste death. (aiōn g165)
53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who has died? and the prophets have died: whom makest thou thyself?
Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?
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 honor myself, my honor is nothing: it is my Father that honoreth me, of whom ye 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.
Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I should be a liar like you: but I know him, and keep his saying.
56 Your father Abraham exulted in that he should see my day, and he saw and rejoiced.
Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw [it], and was glad.
57 The Jews therefore said to him, Thou hast not yet fifty years, and hast thou seen Abraham?
Then said the Jews to him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
58 Jesus said to them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
Jesus said to them, Verily, verily, I say to 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 they took up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
