John 8
1 Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
but Jesus went to the mount of Olives.
2 And at dawn He went again into the temple, and all the people were coming to Him; so sitting down He started to teach them.
And early in the morning he came again to the temple, and all the people were coming to him. And he sat down and taught them.
3 Then the scribes and the Pharisees bring to Him a woman caught in adultery; and placing her in the center
And the scribes and the Pharisees bring to him a woman taken in adultery; and having set her in the midst,
4 they say to Him: “Teacher, we found this woman committing adultery, in the very act.
they say to him, Teacher, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
5 Now in our law Moses commanded that such women are to be stoned; so what do you say?”
Now in the Law Moses commanded us to stone such persons; what then dost thou say?
6 They said this to test Him, so that they might have an accusation against Him. But stooping down Jesus began to write on the ground with His finger, taking no notice.
But this they said to try him, that they might be able to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.
7 But since they kept on asking Him, straightening up He said to them, “Let the one without sin among you throw the first stone at her.”
But when they continued asking him, he lifted himself up, and said to them, Let him that is without sin among you first cast a stone at her.
8 And stooping down again He continued writing on the ground.
And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
9 Now upon hearing this, and being convicted by their conscience, they began to go out one by one, starting with the older ones down to the least. So only Jesus was left, with the woman in the center.
And when they heard this, they went out one by one, beginning with the oldest; and Jesus was left alone, and the woman who was in the midst.
10 So straightening up, and not seeing anyone except the woman, Jesus said to her: “Where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?”
And Jesus lifted himself up and said to her, Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn thee!
11 So she said, “No one, Lord.” Jesus said to her: “Neither do I condemn you. Go, and from now on don't sin any more!”
And she said, No one, Lord. And Jesus said, neither do I condemn thee; go, and sin no more.
12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying: “I am the Light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk around in the darkness, but will have the light of the Life.”
Again therefore Jesus spoke to them, saying, I am the light of the world; he that followeth me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life.]]
13 So the Pharisees said to Him, “You are testifying about yourself; your testimony is not valid.”
The Pharisees therefore said to him, Thou bearest witness of thyself; thy witness is not true.
14 Jesus answered and said to them: “Even though I testify about myself, my testimony is valid, because I know where I came from and where I am going. But you do not know where I come from or where I am going.
Jesus answered and said to them, Though I bear witness of myself, my witness is true; for I know whence I came, and whither I go; ye know not whence I come, or whither I go.
15 You are judging according to the flesh; I am not judging anyone.
Ye judge according to the flesh; I judge no one.
16 Yet even if I do judge, my judging is valid, in that I am not alone in judging, but I and the Father who sent me are together.
But even if I myself should judge, my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and he who sent me.
17 It is written precisely in your law that the testimony of two men is valid:
Moreover, it is written in your law, that the witness of two men is true.
18 I am one testifying concerning myself and the Father who sent me testifies concerning me.”
I am one who bear witness of myself, and the Father who sent me beareth witness of me.
19 Then they said to Him, “Where is your father?” Jesus answered: “You know neither me nor my Father. If you knew me you would also know my Father.”
They said therefore to him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye know neither me, nor my Father. If ye knew me, ye would know my Father also.
20 Jesus spoke these words in the treasury, while teaching in the temple; yet no one arrested Him, because His time had not yet come.
These words he spoke in the treasury, while teaching in the temple; and no one laid hands on him, because his hour had not yet come.
21 Then Jesus said to them again: “I am going away, and you will look for me, and you will die in your sin. Where I am going you cannot come.”
Again therefore he said to them, I go away, and ye will seek me, and will die in your sin. Whither I go, ye cannot come.
22 So the Jews said, “He won't kill himself, will he, since he says, ‘Where I am going you cannot come’?”
The Jews therefore said, Will he kill himself, that he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come?
23 He said to them: “You are from below; I am from Above. You 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 That is why I told you that you will die in your sins, because if you do not believe that I am, you will die in your sins.”
Therefore I said to you, that ye will die in your sins; for unless ye believe that I am He, ye will die in your sins.
25 So they said to Him, “Who are you?” And Jesus said to them: “Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.
They said therefore to him, Who art thou? Jesus said to them, In the first place, I am just that which I speak to you.
26 I have many things to say and to judge about you, but He who sent me is true, and what I myself have heard from Him—these things I say to the world.”
I have many things to say, and to judge, concerning you; but he who sent me is true; and I speak to the world what I heard from him.
27 They did not understand that He was speaking to them about the Father.
They understood not that he spoke to them of the Father.
28 Then Jesus said to them: “When you lift up the Son of the Man, then you will know that I am and that I do nothing from myself; but just as my Father has taught me, these things I speak.
Jesus therefore said, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then ye will know that I am He, and do nothing of myself, but speak these things as the Father taught me.
29 And the One who sent me is with me. The Father has not left me alone, because I always do the things that please Him.”
And he that sent me is with me; he hath not left me alone, for I always do the things that please him.
30 While He was saying these things many believed into Him.
As he spoke these words, many believed in him.
31 So Jesus said to those Jews who had believed Him: “If you abide in my word, you really are my disciples;
Jesus therefore said to those Jews who believed in him, If ye continue in my word, ye are truly my disciples;
32 and you will know the Truth, and the Truth will make you free.”
and ye will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.
33 They answered and said to Him: “We are descendants of Abraham and have never been enslaved to anyone. How can you say, ‘You will be made free’?”
They answered him, We are Abraham's offspring, and have never been in bondage to any one; how sayest, thou, Ye will be made free?
34 Jesus answered them: “I tell you most assuredly that everyone committing sin is a slave of sin.
Jesus answered them, Truly, truly do I say to you, Every one that committeth sin is a bond-servant of sin.
And the bond-servant abideth not in the house for ever; the son abideth for ever. (aiōn g165)
36 Therefore, if the Son should make you free, you really will be free.
If therefore the Son make you free, ye will be free indeed.
37 I know that you are descendants of Abraham, but you are wanting to kill me because my word finds no place in you.
I know that ye are Abraham's offspring; but ye seek to kill me, because my word is not received within you.
38 On my part, I speak what I have observed with my Father, while on your part you do what you have observed with your father.”
I speak what I have seen with the Father; and ye accordingly do what ye have seen with your father.
39 They answered and said to Him, “Our father is Abraham!” Jesus says to them: “If you were children of Abraham, you 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 you are wanting to kill me, a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. This sort of thing Abraham did not do!
But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath spoken to you the truth, which I heard from God; this did not Abraham.
41 You do the works of your father.” Then they said to Him, “We were not born of fornication; we have one Father—God.”
Ye do the works of your father. They said to him, We were not born of fornication; we have one Father, God.
42 So Jesus said to them: “If God were your Father, you would love me, because I came forth from God and I am here. Further, I have not come on my own, but He sent me.
Jesus said to them, If God were your father, ye would love me; for from God I proceeded forth and am come; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
43 Why don't you understand what I say?—because you are not able to really hear my word.
Why do ye not understand my language? It is because ye cannot listen to my word.
44 You are of your father the devil, and it is the desires of your father that you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning and has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks the lie he speaks from his own things, because he is a liar and the father of lying.
Ye are of your father the Devil, and what your father desireth ye are ready to do. He was a murderer from the beginning; and he abideth not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh from his own nature; for he is a liar, and the father of it.
45 But since I speak the truth you do not believe me.
But because I speak the truth, ye believe me not.
46 Which of you convicts me of sin? So if I speak the truth, why do you not believe me?
Which of you convicteth me of sin? If I speak truth, Why do ye not believe me?
47 The one who is of God hears God's words; that is why you do not hear, because you are not of God.”
He that is of God heareth God's words; for this cause ye do not hear, because ye are not of God.
48 So the Jews answered and said to Him, “We say that you are a Samaritan and have a demon—are we wrong?”
The Jews answered and said to him, Say we not well, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?
49 Jesus answered: “I do not have a demon; rather, I honor my Father, while you dishonor me.
Jesus answered, I have not a demon, but I honor my Father, and ye dishonor me.
50 Yet I do not seek my glory; there is One who seeks and judges.
But I seek not my own glory; there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
51 Most assuredly I say to you, if anyone should keep my word he will never ever see death.” (aiōn g165)
Truly, truly do I say to you, If any one keep my word, he will never see death. (aiōn g165)
52 So the Jews said to Him: “Now we know that you have a demon! Abraham died and so did the prophets; yet you say, ‘If anyone should keep my word he will never ever taste death’! (aiōn g165)
The Jews said to him, Now we know that thou hast a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If any one keep my word, he will never taste of death. (aiōn g165)
53 Surely you aren't greater than our father Abraham, who died? And the prophets are dead. Who do you make yourself out to be?”
Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who died? The prophets also died. Whom dost thou make thyself?
54 Jesus answered: “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say, ‘He is our God.’
Jesus answered, If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father that glorifieth me, of whom ye say, He is our God:
55 Yet you have not known Him, but I do know Him. And if I should say that I do not know Him I would be a liar just like you (pl); but I do know Him and I keep His word.
yet ye know him not; 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 word.
56 Your father Abraham was overjoyed to see my day; yes, he saw it and rejoiced.”
Your father Abraham exulted that he might see my day; and he saw it, and was glad.
57 So the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and you have seen Abraham?!”
The Jews therefore said to him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
58 Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly I say to you, before Abraham came to be, I AM!”
Jesus said to them, Truly, truly do I say to you, From before Abraham was, I have been.
59 Then they picked up stones to throw at Him; but Jesus was concealed and went out of the temple, going through the middle of them; yes, that is how He got away!
They therefore took up stones to throw at him; but Jesus concealed himself, and went out of the temple.
