< John 8 >
1 And Iesus went vnto the mount of Oliues,
But Jesus went to 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 returned early in the morning into the temple, and all the people came to 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 to Him a woman taken in adultery;
4 And said vnto him, Master, we foud this woman committing adulterie, euen in the very acte.
and setting her in the midst, they said to Him, "This woman was caught in the very act, committing adultery.
5 Now Moses in our Law commanded, that such should be stoned: what sayest thou therefore?
Now Moses in the law has commanded us that such women 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 to tempt Him, that they might have something to accuse Him of. But Jesus stooping down, wrote with his finger upon 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.
And as they continued asking Him, He raised himself up and said unto them, "Let him that is without sin among you, first cast a stone at her."
8 And againe hee stouped downe, and wrote on the ground.
Then He stooped down again 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.
But when they heard his answer, being convicted by their own conscience, they went out one by one, beginning at the elder, even to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst of the people.
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 rising up, and seeing none but the woman, said unto her, 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.
And she said, None, Lord. Then said Jesus unto her, Neither do I condemn thee, Go thy way 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 to 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 to Him, Thou bearest witness 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 unto them, Though I bear witness of myself, my testimony is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I am going; but ye know not whence I come, nor whither I go.
15 Ye iudge after the flesh: I iudge no man.
Ye judge according to the flesh, but I judge no man as yet:
16 And if I also iudge, my iudgement is true: for I am not alone, but I, and the Father, that sent mee.
though if I should judge, my judgement is true; for I am not alone, but I am with the Father that sent me.
17 And it is also written in your Lawe, that the testimonie of two men is true.
And it is written in your own law, that the testimony of two persons is valid.
18 I am one that beare witnes of my selfe, and the Father that sent me, beareth witnes of me.
Now I am one, who bear witness of myself; and the Father, who 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 would 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, when He was teaching in the temple: and no one 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.
Jesus therefore said unto them again, "I am going away, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sin: where 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, What! will He kill himself; that He says, where I am going, 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.
Therefore I said unto you, that ye shall die in your sins; for if ye believe not that I am the Messiah, 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 to Him, Who art thou? And Jesus answered them, Even the same that I told you at first.
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 concerning you: but I only say, He that sent me is true, and I declare to the world those things, which I have heard from Him.
27 They vnderstoode not that hee spake to them of the Father.
But they did not know that He spake unto 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 unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then ye shall know that I am He, and that I do nothing of myself, but as my Father hath instructed 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 always do the things that are pleasing to 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,
Therefore said Jesus to the Jews that believed on Him, If ye continue in my word, ye are indeed 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 Him, We are the seed of Abraham, and never were slaves to any one, how then dost thou say, 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 maketh a practice of sin, is the servant of sin.
35 And the seruant abideth not in the house for euer: but the Sonne abideth for euer. (aiōn )
Now the servant does not continue always in the family: but the Son abideth always. (aiōn )
36 If that Sonne therefore shall make you free, ye shalbe free in deede.
If therefore the Son 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 the seed of Abraham, 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 what 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 Him, Abraham is our father, Jesus replied, If ye were the children of Abraham, 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, who have told you the truth which I have heard from God: Abraham did not thus.
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.
But ye do the works of your father. Then said they unto 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 said unto them, If God were your father, ye would love me: for I came forth, and do come, 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.
And why do ye not understand my language, but because ye cannot bear my doctrine?
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 are bent upon doing the lusts of your father: he was a murderer from the beginning, and continued not in the truth: for there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh like himself, for he is a liar, and the father of such.
45 And because I tell you the trueth, yee beleeue me not.
And because I say the truth, ye believe me not. Which of you convicteth me of sin?
46 Which of you can rebuke me of sinne? and if I say the trueth, why do ye not beleeue me?
And if I speak 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, receiveth the words of God; but ye therefore receive 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 therefore answered and said unto Him. Do we not rightly say, that thou art a Samaritan, and art possessed by a demon?
49 Iesus answered, I haue not a deuil, but I honour my Father, and ye haue dishonoured me.
Jesus answered I am not possessed by a demon, but I honour my Father, though ye dishonour me.
50 And I seeke not mine owne praise: but there is one that seeketh it, and iudgeth.
And I seek not my own glory; there is One that seeketh it, 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 any one 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 therefore said unto Him, Now we are sure that thou art possessed by a demon. Abraham is dead, and the prophets too; and thou sayest, If any one keep my word, he shall never taste of death: art thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? (aiōn )
53 Art thou greater then our father Abraham, which is dead? and the Prophets are dead: whome makest thou thy selfe?
and the prophets are dead: whom dost thou pretend to be?
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 honor 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 yet ye know him not; but I know Him: and if I should say, That I know Him not, I shall be like you, a liar: but I know Him, and obey his word.
56 Your father Abraham reioyced to see my day, and he sawe it, and was glad.
Your father Abraham longed 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, 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.
Therefore they took up stones to throw at Him. But Jesus concealed Himself, and went out of the temple, through the midst of them, and so passed on.
