< John 8 >
1 And Iesus went vnto the mount of Oliues,
but 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 the Pharisees bring a woman taken in adultery; and having 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 hath been taken in adultery, in the very act.
5 Now Moses in our Law commanded, that such should be stoned: what sayest thou therefore?
Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such: what then sayest thou of her?
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 have [whereof] to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote 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.
But 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 with his finger 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, when they heard it, went out one by one, beginning from the eldest, [even] unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman, where she was, 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?
And Jesus lifted up himself, and said unto her, Woman, where are they? did no man condemn thee?
11 She said, No man, Lord. And Iesus said, Neither do I condemne thee: go and sinne no more.
And she said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said, Neither do I condemn thee: go thy way; from henceforth 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 spake unto 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 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 witness of thyself; thy witness 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, Even if I bear witness of myself, my witness is true; for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye know not whence I come, or 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.
Yea and 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.
Yea and in your law it is written, that the witness 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 he that beareth 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.
They said therefore unto 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 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 he in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man took 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.
He said therefore again unto them, I go away, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sin: 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?
The Jews therefore said, Will he kill himself, that 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 except ye believe 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.
They said therefore unto him, Who art thou? Jesus said unto them, Even that which I have also spoken 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 speak and to judge concerning you: howbeit he that sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these speak I unto the world.
27 They vnderstoode not that hee spake to them of the Father.
They perceived 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.
Jesus therefore said, 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 the Father 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; he hath not left me alone; for I do always the things that are pleasing to him.
30 As hee spake these thinges, many beleeued in him.
As he spake 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,
Jesus therefore said to those Jews which had believed him, If ye abide in my word, [then] are ye truly my disciples;
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 unto him, We be Abraham’s seed, and have never yet been 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, Every one that committeth sin is the bondservant of sin.
35 And the seruant abideth not in the house for euer: but the Sonne abideth for euer. (aiōn )
And the bondservant abideth not in the house for ever: the son abideth for ever. (aiōn )
36 If that Sonne therefore shall make you free, ye shalbe free in deede.
If therefore the Son 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; yet ye seek to kill me, because my word hath not free course 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 the things which I have seen with [my] Father: and ye also do the things which ye heard from [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, Our father is Abraham. 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 heard from 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 works of your father. They said unto him, We were 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 came forth and am come from God; for neither have I come 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 it is your will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and stood 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 thereof.
45 And because I tell you the trueth, yee beleeue me not.
But because I say 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 convicteth me of sin? If I say 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 the words of God: for this cause ye 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?
The Jews answered 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 dishonour me.
50 And I seeke not mine owne praise: but there is one that seeketh it, and iudgeth.
But 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 )
Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my word, he shall never see death. (aiōn )
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 )
The Jews said unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my word, he shall never taste of death. (aiōn )
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 glorify myself, my glory is nothing: it is my Father that glorifieth 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.
and ye have not known him: but I know him; and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be like unto you, a liar: but I know him, and keep his word.
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?
The Jews therefore said 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.
They took up stones therefore to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple.
