John 8
1 And Iesus went vnto the mount of Oliues,
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.
3 Then the Scribes, and the Pharises brought vnto him a woman, taken in adulterie, and set her in the middes,
4 And said vnto him, Master, we foud this woman committing adulterie, euen in the very acte.
5 Now Moses in our Law commanded, that such should be stoned: what sayest thou therefore?
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.
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.
8 And againe hee stouped downe, and 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.
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?
11 She said, No man, Lord. And Iesus said, Neither do I condemne thee: go and sinne 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.
Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, I am the light of the world: the one following me can not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of the life.
13 The Pharises therefore saide vnto him, Thou bearest recorde of thy selfe: thy recorde is not true.
Then the Pharisees said to Him, Thou art testifying concerning thyself; Thy testimony is not true. And Jesus responded and said to them,
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.
If I testify concerning myself, my testimony is true; for I know whence I came, and whither I go. 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 no one.
16 And if I also iudge, my iudgement is true: for I am not alone, but I, and the Father, that sent mee.
If I judge, my judgment is true; because I am not alone, but I and the One having sent me.
17 And it is also written in your Lawe, that the testimonie of two men is true.
And it has been written in our law, 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 the one testifying concerning myself, and the Father having sent me, testifies concerning 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.
Then they said to Him, Where is thy Father? Jesus responded; You know neither me nor my Father; if you knew me, you would also know my Father.
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.
He spoke these words in the treasury, teaching in the temple: and no one arrested Him; because His hour had 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.
Then He again said to them, I go away, and you will seek me, and you will die in your sin: whither I go you are not able to come.
22 Then said the Iewes, Will he kill himselfe, because he saith, Whither I goe, can ye not come?
Then the Jews were saying, Whether will He kill Himself, because He says, Whither I go away, you are not able to 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 may not believe that I am He, you shall die in your sins.
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.
Then they said to Him, Who art thou? And Jesus said to them, Even that which I also speak to you from the beginning.
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.
I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you; but the One having sent me is true; those things which I heard with Him, these I speak to the world.
27 They vnderstoode not that hee spake to them of the Father.
They did not know that He spoke to them concerning the 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.
Then Jesus said, When you may lift up the Son of man, then you shall know that I am He, and I do nothing of myself, but as the Father has taught me, I speak the same things.
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.
Truly the One having sent me is with me; He has not left me alone; because I always do those things which are pleasing to Him.
30 As hee spake these thinges, many beleeued in him.
He speaking these things, many believed on 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 the Jews, who believed on Him, If you may abide in my word, you are truly my disciples;
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 responded to Him, we are the seed of Abraham, and have never been in bondage to any one: How do You say, that you shall be free?
34 Iesus answered them, Verely, verely I say vnto you, that whosoeuer committeth sinne, is the seruant of sinne.
Jesus responded to them, Truly, truly, I say unto you, That every one doing sin is the slave of sin.
But the slave abides not in the house forever; the Son abides forever. (aiōn g165)
36 If that Sonne therefore shall make you free, ye shalbe free in deede.
If therefore the Son may 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 ye are the seed of Abraham; but you seek to kill me, because my word has 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.
Whatsoever I have seen with the Father I speak: you therefore are doing the things which you heard 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 responded and said to Him, Abraham is our Father. Jesus says to them, If you were the children of Abraham, you would 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 has told you the truth, which I heard with God: Abraham did not this.
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 are doing the works of your father. They said to Him, We are not born of fornication; we have one Father, 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 said to them; If God were your Father, you would love me: for I came out from God, and I return; for I have not spoken from myself, but He sent me.
43 Why doe ye not vnderstande my talke? because ye cannot heare my worde.
Wherefore do you not understand my speech? Because you are not able to 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 you wish to do the lusts of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and stood not in the truth, because there was no truth in him. When he may speak a lie, he speaks of his own: because he is a liar, and the father of the same.
45 And because I tell you the trueth, yee beleeue me not.
And because I speak the truth, you do not believe me.
46 Which of you can rebuke me of sinne? and if I say the trueth, why do ye not beleeue me?
Which one of you convicts me concerning sin? If I speak the truth, 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.
The one being of God hears the words of God: on account of this you do not hear, 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 responded and said to Him, Do we not truly say that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?
49 Iesus answered, I haue not a deuil, but I honour my Father, and ye haue dishonoured me.
Jesus responded, I have not a demon; but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.
50 And I seeke not mine owne praise: but there is one that seeketh it, and iudgeth.
But I do not seek my own glory: there is One seeking and judging.
Truly, truly, I say unto you, if any one may keep my word, he may never see death. (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 said to Him, Now we know that thou hast a demon. Abraham and the prophets are dead; and thou sayest, If any one may keep my word, he may never taste death. (aiōn g165)
53 Art thou greater then our father Abraham, which is dead? and the Prophets are dead: whome makest thou thy selfe?
Whether art thou greater than our father Abraham, who died? and the prophets died: whom do you make yourself?
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 responded, If I may glorify myself, my glory is nothing: my Father is the one glorifying me; whom you say, that, He is our 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.
indeed you do not know Him: but I know Him. If I may say, I know Him not, I will be a liar like you: but I know Him, and I keep His word.
56 Your father Abraham reioyced to see my day, and he sawe it, and was glad.
Abraham, our 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?
Then the Jews said to Him, You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?
58 Iesus sayd vnto them, Verely, verely I say vnto you, before Abraham was, I am.
Jesus said unto them, Truly, truly, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, 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.
Then they took up stones that they might cast at Him: and Jesus was hidden, and departed out from the temple.
