< John 8 >

1 And Iesus went vnto the mount of Oliues,
And Jesus went unto mount Olivet.
2 And early in the morning came againe into the Temple, and all the people came vnto him, and he sate downe, and taught them.
And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him, and sitting down he taught them.
3 Then the Scribes, and the Pharises brought vnto him a woman, taken in adulterie, and set her in the middes,
And the scribes and the Pharisees bring unto him a woman taken in adultery: and they set her in the midst,
4 And said vnto him, Master, we foud this woman committing adulterie, euen in the very acte.
And said to him: Master, this woman was even now taken in adultery.
5 Now Moses in our Law commanded, that such should be stoned: what sayest thou therefore?
Now Moses in the law commanded us to stone such a one. But what sayest thou?
6 And this they saide to tempt him, that they might haue, whereof to accuse him. But Iesus stouped downe, and with his finger wrote on the groud.
And this they said tempting him, that they might accuse him. But Jesus bowing himself down, wrote with his finger on the ground.
7 And while they continued asking him, hee lift himselfe vp, and sayde vnto them, Let him that is among you without sinne, cast the first stone at her.
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.
8 And againe hee stouped downe, and wrote on the ground.
And again stooping down, he wrote on the ground.
9 And when they heard it, being accused by their owne conscience, they went out one by one, beginning at ye eldest euen to the last: so Iesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the mids.
But they hearing this, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest. And Jesus alone remained, and the woman standing in the midst.
10 When Iesus had lift vp himselfe againe, and sawe no man, but the woman, hee saide vnto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
Then Jesus lifting up himself, said to her: Woman, where are they that accused thee? Hath no man condemned thee?
11 She said, No man, Lord. And Iesus said, Neither do I condemne thee: go and sinne no more.
Who said: No man, Lord. And Jesus said: Neither will I condemn thee. Go, and now sin no more.
12 Then spake Iesus againe vnto them, saying, I am that light of the worlde: hee that followeth mee, shall not walke in darkenes, but shall haue that light of life.
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.
13 The Pharises therefore saide vnto him, Thou bearest recorde of thy selfe: thy recorde is not true.
The Pharisees therefore said to him: Thou givest testimony of thyself: thy testimony is not true.
14 Iesus answered, and sayde vnto them, Though I beare recorde of my selfe, yet my recorde is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go: but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I goe.
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.
15 Ye iudge after the flesh: I iudge no man.
You judge according to the flesh: I judge not any man.
16 And if I also iudge, my iudgement is true: for I am not alone, but I, and the Father, that sent mee.
And if I do judge, my judgment is true: because I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
17 And it is also written in your Lawe, that the testimonie of two men is true.
And in your law it is written, that the testimony of two men is true.
18 I am one that beare witnes of my selfe, and the Father that sent me, beareth witnes of me.
I am one that give testimony of myself: and the Father that sent me giveth testimony of me.
19 Then saide they vnto him, Where is that Father of thine? Iesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor that Father of mine. If ye had knowen me, ye should haue knowen that Father of mine also.
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.
20 These wordes spake Iesus in the treasurie, as hee taught in the Temple, and no man layde handes on him: for his houre was not yet come.
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.
21 Then saide Iesus againe vnto them, I goe my way, and ye shall seeke me, and shall die in your sinnes, Whither I goe, can ye not come.
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.
22 Then said the Iewes, Will he kill himselfe, because he saith, Whither I goe, can ye not come?
The Jews therefore said: Will he kill himself, because he said: Whither I go, you cannot come?
23 And hee saide vnto them, Ye are from beneath, I am from aboue: ye are of this world, I am not of this worlde.
And he said to them: You are from beneath, I am from above. You are of this world, I am not of this world.
24 I said therefore vnto you, That ye shall die in your sinnes: for except ye beleeue, that I am he, ye shall die in your sinnes.
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.
25 Then saide they vnto him, Who art thou? And Iesus saide vnto them, Euen the same thing that I said vnto you from the beginning.
They said therefore to him: Who art thou? Jesus said to them: The beginning, who also speak unto you.
26 I haue many things to say, and to iudge of you: but he that sent me, is true, and the things that I haue heard of him, those speake I to the world.
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.
27 They vnderstoode not that hee spake to them of the Father.
And they understood not, that he called God his Father.
28 Then said Iesus vnto them, When ye haue lift vp the Sonne of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I doe nothing of my selfe, but as my Father hath taught me, so I speake these things.
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:
29 For he that sent me, is with me: the Father hath not left me alone, because I do alwayes those things that please him.
And he that sent me, is with me, and he hath not left me alone: for I do always the things that please him.
30 As hee spake these thinges, many beleeued in him.
When he spoke these things, many believed in him.
31 Then saide Iesus to the Iewes which beleeued in him, If ye continue in my worde, ye are verely my disciples,
Then Jesus said to those Jews, who believed him: If you continue in my word, you shall be my disciples indeed.
32 And shall know the trueth, and the trueth shall make you free.
And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
33 They answered him, Wee be Abrahams seede, and were neuer bonde to any man: why sayest thou then, Ye shalbe made free?
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?
34 Iesus answered them, Verely, verely I say vnto you, that whosoeuer committeth sinne, is the seruant of sinne.
Jesus answered them: Amen, amen I say unto you: that whosoever committeth sin, is the servant of sin.
35 And the seruant abideth not in the house for euer: but the Sonne abideth for euer. (aiōn g165)
Now the servant abideth not in the house for ever; but the son abideth for ever. (aiōn g165)
36 If that Sonne therefore shall make you free, ye shalbe free in deede.
If therefore the son shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.
37 I know that ye are Abrahams seede, but yee seeke to kill mee, because my worde hath no place in you.
I know that you are the children of Abraham: but you seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
38 I speake that which I haue seene with my Father: and ye doe that which ye haue seene with your father.
I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and you do the things that you have seen with your father.
39 They answered, and saide vnto him, Abraham is our father. Iesus said vnto them, If ye were Abrahams children, ye woulde doe the workes of Abraham.
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.
40 But nowe ye goe about to kill mee, a man that haue told you the trueth, which I haue heard of God: this did not Abraham.
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.
41 Ye do the workes of your father. Then said they to him, We are not borne of fornication: we haue one Father, which is God.
You do the works of your father. They said therefore to him: We are not born of fornication: we have one Father, even God.
42 Therefore Iesus sayde vnto them, If God were your Father, then woulde ye loue mee: for I proceeded foorth, and came from God, neither came I of my selfe, but he sent me.
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:
43 Why doe ye not vnderstande my talke? because ye cannot heare my worde.
Why do you not know my speech? Because you cannot hear my word.
44 Ye are of your father the deuill, and the lustes of your father ye will doe: hee hath bene a murtherer from the beginning, and abode not in the trueth, because there is no trueth in him. When hee speaketh a lie, then speaketh hee of his owne: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.
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.
45 And because I tell you the trueth, yee beleeue me not.
But if I say the truth, you believe me not.
46 Which of you can rebuke me of sinne? and if I say the trueth, why do ye not beleeue me?
Which of you shall convince me of sin? If I say the truth to you, why do you not believe me?
47 He that is of God, heareth Gods wordes: yee therefore heare them not, because ye are not of God.
He that is of God, heareth the words of God. Therefore you hear them not, because you are not of God.
48 Then answered the Iewes, and said vnto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritane, and hast a deuil?
The Jews therefore answered, and said to him: Do not we say well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?
49 Iesus answered, I haue not a deuil, but I honour my Father, and ye haue dishonoured me.
Jesus answered: I have not a devil: but I honour my Father, and you have dishonoured me.
50 And I seeke not mine owne praise: but there is one that seeketh it, and iudgeth.
But I seek not my own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
51 Verely, verely I say vnto you, If a man keepe my word, he shall neuer see death. (aiōn g165)
Amen, amen I say to you: If any man keep my word, he shall not see death for ever. (aiōn g165)
52 Then said the Iewes to him, Now know we that thou hast a deuill. Abraham is dead, and the Prophets: and thou sayest, If a man keepe my worde, he shall neuer taste of death. (aiōn g165)
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)
53 Art thou greater then our father Abraham, which is dead? and the Prophets are dead: whome makest thou thy selfe?
Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? and the prophets are dead. Whom dost thou make thyself?
54 Iesus answered, If I honour my selfe, mine honour is nothing worth: it is my Father that honoureth me, whome ye say, that hee is your God.
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.
55 Yet ye haue not knowen him: but I knowe him, and if I should say I know him not, I should be a liar like vnto you: but I knowe him, and keepe his worde.
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.
56 Your father Abraham reioyced to see my day, and he sawe it, and was glad.
Abraham your father rejoiced that he might see my day: he saw it, and was glad.
57 Then sayd ye Iewes vnto him, Thou art not yet fiftie yeere olde, and hast thou seene Abraham?
The Jews therefore said to him: Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
58 Iesus sayd vnto them, Verely, verely I say vnto you, before Abraham was, I am.
Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say to you, before Abraham was made, I am.
59 Then tooke they vp stones, to cast at him, but Iesus hid himselfe, and went out of the Temple: And hee passed through the middes of them, and so went his way.
They took up stones therefore to cast at him. But Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple.
