John 8
1 And Jesus went unto mount Olivet.
But 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.
and returned early in the morning 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 unto him a woman taken in adultery: and they set her in the midst,
And the scribes and pharisees brought to Him a woman taken in adultery;
4 And said to him: Master, this woman was even now taken in adultery.
and setting her in the midst, they said to Him, "This woman was caught in the very act, committing adultery.
5 Now Moses in the law commanded us to stone such a one. But what sayest thou?
Now Moses in the law has commanded us that such women should be stoned, but 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.
This they said to tempt Him, that they might have something to accuse Him of. But Jesus stooping down, wrote with his finger upon 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.
And as they continued asking Him, He raised himself up and said unto them, "Let him that is without sin among you, first cast a stone at her."
8 And again stooping down, he wrote on the ground.
Then He stooped down again and 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 his answer, being convicted by their own conscience, they went out one by one, beginning at the elder, even to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst of the people.
10 Then Jesus lifting up himself, said to her: Woman, where are they that accused thee? Hath no man condemned thee?
Then Jesus rising up, and seeing none but the woman, said unto her, Where are those 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.
And she said, None, Lord. Then said Jesus unto her, Neither do I condemn thee, Go thy way 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 therefore said to Him, Thou bearest witness of thyself; thy testimony 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 unto them, Though I bear witness of myself, my testimony is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I am going; but ye know not whence I come, nor whither I go.
15 You judge according to the flesh: I judge not any man.
Ye judge according to the flesh, but I judge no man as yet:
16 And if I do judge, my judgment is true: because I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
though if I should judge, my judgement is true; for I am not alone, but I am with the Father that sent me.
17 And in your law it is written, that the testimony of two men is true.
And it is written in your own law, that the testimony of two persons is valid.
18 I am one that give testimony of myself: and the Father that sent me giveth testimony of me.
Now I am one, who bear witness of 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 unto 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, when He was teaching in the temple: and no one laid hands on 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.
Jesus therefore said unto them again, "I am going away, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sin: where I go ye cannot come."
22 The Jews therefore said: Will he kill himself, because he said: Whither I go, you cannot come?
The Jews therefore said, What! will He kill himself; that He says, where I am going, 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 unto them, Ye are from beneath, I am from 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.
Therefore I said unto you, that ye shall die in your sins; for if ye believe not that I am the Messiah, 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.
Then said they to Him, Who art thou? And Jesus answered them, Even the same that I told you at first.
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 say and to judge concerning you: but I only say, He that sent me is true, and I declare to the world those things, which I have heard from Him.
27 And they understood not, that he called God his Father.
But they did not know that He spake unto 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:
Jesus therefore said unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then ye shall know that I am He, and that I do nothing of myself, but as my Father hath instructed me, I speak these things.
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; for I always do the things that are pleasing 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.
Therefore said Jesus to the Jews that believed on Him, If ye continue in my word, ye are indeed 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 the seed of Abraham, and never were slaves to any one, how then dost thou say, Ye 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, whosoever maketh a practice of sin, is the servant of sin.
Now the servant does not continue always in the family: but the Son abideth always. (aiōn g165)
36 If therefore the son shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.
If therefore the Son make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
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 the seed of Abraham, but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath 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 that which I have seen with my Father, and ye do 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 Him, Abraham is our father, Jesus replied, If ye were the children of Abraham, ye would do 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, who have told you the truth which I have heard from God: Abraham did not thus.
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.
But ye do the works of your father. Then said they unto Him, We are not born of fornication, 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:
Jesus said unto them, If God were your father, ye would love me: for I came forth, and do come, from God; neither came I of myself, but He sent me.
43 Why do you not know my speech? Because you cannot hear my word.
And why do ye not understand my language, but because ye cannot bear my doctrine?
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 are bent upon doing the lusts of your father: he was a murderer from the beginning, and continued not in the truth: for there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh like himself, for he is a liar, and the father of such.
45 But if I say the truth, you believe me not.
And because I say the truth, ye believe me not. Which of you convicteth me of sin?
46 Which of you shall convince me of sin? If I say the truth to you, why do you not believe me?
And if I speak 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, receiveth the words of God; but ye therefore receive them not, 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?
The Jews therefore answered and said unto Him. Do we not rightly say, that thou art a Samaritan, and art possessed by a demon?
49 Jesus answered: I have not a devil: but I honour my Father, and you have dishonoured me.
Jesus answered I am not possessed by a demon, but I honour my Father, though ye dishonour me.
50 But I seek not my own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
And I seek not my own glory; there is One that seeketh it, and judgeth.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, If any one keep my word, he shall never see death. (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)
The Jews therefore said unto Him, Now we are sure that thou art possessed by a demon. Abraham is dead, and the prophets too; and thou sayest, If any one keep my word, he shall never taste of death: art thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? (aiōn g165)
53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? and the prophets are dead. Whom dost thou make thyself?
and the prophets are dead: whom dost thou pretend to be?
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 honour myself, my honor is nothing: it is my Father that glorifieth 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.
And yet ye know him not; but I know Him: and if I should say, That I know Him not, I shall be like you, a liar: but I know Him, and obey his word.
56 Abraham your father rejoiced that he might see my day: he saw it, and was glad.
Your father Abraham longed to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
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 art not yet fifty years old, 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 was, I am.
59 They took up stones therefore to cast at him. But Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple.
Therefore they took up stones to throw at Him. But Jesus concealed Himself, and went out of the temple, through the midst of them, and so passed on.
