John 8
1 And Jesus went unto mount Olivet.
THEN 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 sitting down he taught them.
But early in the morning he came again to the temple, and all the people came to him; and sitting down he taught them.
3 And the scribes and the Pharisees bring unto him a woman taken in adultery: and they set her in the midst,
Then the scribes and Pharisees brought to him a woman caught in adultery; and placing her in the midst,
4 And said to him: Master, this woman was even now taken in adultery.
they say unto him, Master, this woman was caught in adultery, in the very act.
5 Now Moses in the law commanded us to stone such a one. But what sayest thou?
Now Moses in the law commanded, that such women should be stoned: therefore what sayest thou?
6 And this they said tempting him, that they might accuse him. But Jesus bowing himself down, wrote with his finger on the ground.
But this they said, trying to entrap him, that they might have ground of accusation against him. But Jesus stooping down, with his finger wrote on the ground.
7 When therefore they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said to them: He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
Now when they continued questioning him, raising himself up, he said to them, Let the person who is sinless among you, first cast a stone at her.
8 And again stooping down, he wrote on the ground.
And again stooping down, he wrote on the ground.
9 But they hearing this, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest. And Jesus alone remained, and the woman standing in the midst.
But when they heard him, and felt the conviction of their conscience, they slunk away one by one, beginning from the elders to the last: so Jesus was left alone, with the woman standing in the midst.
10 Then Jesus lifting up himself, said to her: Woman, where are they that accused thee? Hath no man condemned thee?
Then Jesus raising himself up, and seeing no person but the woman, said unto her, Woman, where are these thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
11 Who said: No man, Lord. And Jesus said: Neither will I condemn thee. Go, and now sin no more.
She said, No man, Lord. Then said Jesus unto 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 followeth me, walketh not in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
Then spake Jesus 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 givest testimony of thyself: thy testimony is not true.
The Pharisees said to him, Thou bearest witness of thyself; thy witness is not true.
14 Jesus answered, and said to them: Although I give testimony of myself, my testimony is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go: but you know not whence I come, or whither I go.
Jesus answered and said to them, Though I do bear witness of myself, my witness is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I am going; but ye know not whence I come, nor whither I am going.
15 You judge according to the flesh: I judge not any man.
Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.
16 And if I do judge, my judgment is true: because I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
But though I should judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me.
17 And in your law it is written, that the testimony of two men is true.
Now even in your law it is written, that the testimony of two men is true.
18 I am one that give testimony of myself: and the Father that sent me giveth testimony of me.
I am a witness for myself, and the Father who sent me beareth witness of me.
19 They said therefore to him: Where is thy Father? Jesus answered: Neither me do you know, nor my Father: if you did know me, perhaps you would know my Father also.
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 Jesus spoke in the treasury, teaching in the temple: and no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.
These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no person apprehended him; for his hour was not yet come.
21 Again therefore Jesus said to them: I go, and you shall seek me, and you shall die in your sin. Whither I go, you cannot come.
Then spake Jesus again to them, I am going away, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sin: whither I am going ye cannot come.
22 The Jews therefore said: Will he kill himself, because he said: Whither I go, you cannot come?
The Jews said therefore, Will he kill himself? because he said, Whither I go, ye cannot come.
23 And he said to them: You are from beneath, I am from above. You are of this world, I am not of this world.
And he said to them, Ye are from those beneath; I am from those above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
24 Therefore I said to you, that you shall die in your sins. For if you believe not that I am he, you shall die in your sin.
I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am, ye shall die in your sins.
25 They said therefore to him: Who art thou? Jesus said to them: The beginning, who also speak unto you.
They said, therefore to him, Who art thou? And Jesus said to them, Assuredly the same as I am telling you.
26 Many things I have to speak and to judge of you. But he that sent me, is true: and the things I have heard of him, these same I speak in the world.
I have many things to speak and to decide concerning you: but he that sent me is true; and the things which I have heard from him I speak to the world.
27 And they understood not, that he called God his Father.
They knew not that he spake to them of the Father.
28 Jesus therefore said to them: When you shall have lifted up the Son of man, then shall you know, that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself, but as the Father hath taught me, these things I speak:
Then said Jesus to them, When ye shall have lifted up on high the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am, and of myself have I done nothing; but as the Father hath instructed me, so I speak.
29 And he that sent me, is with me, and he hath not left me alone: for I do always the things that please him.
And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; because I always do the things acceptable to him.
30 When he spoke these things, many believed in him.
As he spake these words, many believed on him.
31 Then Jesus said to those Jews, who believed him: If you continue in my word, you shall be my disciples indeed.
Then said Jesus to those Jews who believed on him, If ye abide in my word, assuredly ye are my disciples;
32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
33 They answered him: We are the seed of Abraham, and we have never been slaves to any man: how sayest thou: you shall be free?
They answered him, We are Abraham’s seed, and never were in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, That we shall be made free?
34 Jesus answered them: Amen, amen I say unto you: that whosoever committeth sin, is the servant of sin.
Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, That every one who committeth sin is the slave of sin.
But the slave abideth not in the family for ever: but the son abideth for ever. (aiōn g165)
36 If therefore the son shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.
If the Son therefore make you free, ye will be truly free.
37 I know that you are the children of Abraham: but you seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; yet ye seek to kill me, because my word has no place in you.
38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and you do the things that you have seen with your father.
I speak what I have seen with my Father: and ye do therefore what ye have seen with your father.
39 They answered, and said to him: Abraham is our father. Jesus saith to them: If you be the children of Abraham, do the works of Abraham.
They answered and said unto him, Our Father is Abraham. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were the children of Abraham, ye would have done the works of Abraham.
40 But now you seek to kill me, a man who have spoken the truth to you, which I have heard of God. This Abraham did not.
But now ye seek to kill me, a man who hath told you the truth, which I have heard from God. Abraham did not so.
41 You do the works of your father. They said therefore to him: We are not born of fornication: we have one Father, even God.
Ye do the works of your father. They said unto him, We are not born of whoredom; we have one Father, even God.
42 Jesus therefore said to them: If God were your Father, you would indeed love me. For from God I proceeded, and came; for I came not of myself, but he sent me:
Then said Jesus unto them, If God was your Father, ye would have loved me: for I came out from God, and I am coming; neither indeed came I of myself, but he hath sent me.
43 Why do you not know my speech? Because you cannot hear my word.
Wherefore do ye not understand my speech? because ye cannot hear my word.
44 You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and he stood not in the truth; because truth is not in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will practise. He was a murderer from the beginning, and stood not fast in the truth, because truth was not in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh what is peculiarly his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
45 But if I say the truth, you believe me not.
But because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
46 Which of you shall convince me of sin? If I say the truth to you, why do you not believe me?
Which of you can convict me of sin? Now if I speak the truth, why do ye not believe me?
47 He that is of God, heareth the words of God. Therefore you hear them not, because you are not of God.
He that is of God heareth the words of God: ye therefore do not hear him, because ye are not of God.
48 The Jews therefore answered, and said to him: Do not we say well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?
Then answered the Jews, and said to him, Do we not rightly affirm, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?
49 Jesus answered: I have not a devil: but I honour my Father, and you have dishonoured me.
Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye dishonour me.
50 But I seek not my own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
But I seek not my own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, If any man observe my saying, he shall never see death to all eternity. (aiōn g165)
52 The Jews therefore said: Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest: If any man keep my word, he shall not taste death for ever. (aiōn g165)
Then said the Jews to him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If any man observe my word, he shall never taste of death to eternity. (aiōn g165)
53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? and the prophets are dead. Whom dost thou make 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 that glorifieth me, of whom you say that he is your God.
Jesus answered, If I assume glory to myself, my glory is nothing: it is the Father who glorifies me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:
55 And you have not known him, but I know him. And if I shall say that I know him not, I shall be like to you, a liar. But I do know him, and do keep his word.
yet have ye not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, that I know him not, I should be like you, a liar: but I know him, and observe his word.
56 Abraham your father rejoiced that he might see my day: he saw it, and was glad.
Your father Abraham exulted for joy that he should see this day of mine: and saw it, and rejoiced.
57 The Jews therefore said to him: Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
Then said the Jews unto him, Thou hast not yet reached the age of fifty, and hast thou seen Abraham?
58 Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say to you, before Abraham was made, I am.
Jesus said unto them, Before Abraham had a being, I Am.
59 They took up stones therefore to cast at him. But Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple.
Then took they up stones to hurl at him: but Jesus was hid, and went out of the temple, passing through the midst of them, and so went away.
