< John 8 >

1 And Iesus went vnto the mount of Oliues,
Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.
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 unto him; and he sat down, and 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 Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
4 And said vnto him, Master, we foud this woman committing adulterie, euen in the very acte.
They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
5 Now Moses in our Law commanded, that such should be stoned: what sayest thou therefore?
Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: 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.
This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with [his] finger wrote on the ground, [ as though he heard them not].
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.
So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto 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 he stooped down, 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.
And they which heard [it], being convicted by [their own] conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, [even] unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, 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?
When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto 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.
She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and 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.
Then spake Jesus again unto 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 Pharises therefore saide vnto him, Thou bearest recorde of thy selfe: thy recorde is not true.
The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record 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 unto them, Though I bear record of myself, [yet] my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go.
15 Ye iudge after the flesh: I iudge no man.
Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no 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 yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for 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.
It is also written in your 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 one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness 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.
Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known 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 spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for 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.
Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.
22 Then said the Iewes, Will he kill himselfe, because he saith, Whither I goe, can ye not come?
Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye 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 unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye 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.
I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am [he], ye 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 said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even [the same] that I said unto 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 say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.
27 They vnderstoode not that hee spake to them of the Father.
They understood not that he spake to them of 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 said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am [he], and [that] I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these 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.
And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.
30 As hee spake these thinges, many beleeued in him.
As he spake these words, 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 said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, [then] are ye my disciples indeed;
32 And shall know the trueth, and the trueth shall make you free.
And ye 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 be Abraham’s seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
34 Iesus answered them, Verely, verely I say vnto you, that whosoeuer committeth sinne, is the seruant of sinne.
Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, 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)
And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: [but] the Son abideth ever. (aiōn g165)
36 If that Sonne therefore shall make you free, ye shalbe free in deede.
If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye 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 ye are Abraham’s seed; but ye 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 ye do that which ye 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 unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham’s children, ye 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 ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
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.
Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be 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 said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
43 Why doe ye not vnderstande my talke? because ye cannot heare my worde.
Why do ye not understand my speech? [even] because ye 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.
Ye are of [your] father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
45 And because I tell you the trueth, yee beleeue me not.
And because I tell [you] the truth, ye 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 convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye 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 God’s words: ye therefore hear [them] not, because ye 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?
Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not 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 ye do dishonour me.
50 And I seeke not mine owne praise: but there is one that seeketh it, and iudgeth.
And I seek not mine 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)
Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall 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)
Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death. (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, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou 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 honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye 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.
Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.
56 Your father Abraham reioyced to see my day, and he sawe it, and was glad.
Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and 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 said the Jews unto 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 unto them, Verily, verily, 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 took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
