John 8
1 And Iesus went vnto the mount of Oliues,
And at dawn he came again to the temple,
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 all the people were coming unto him, and having sat down, he was teaching 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 having been 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 to him, 'Teacher, this woman was taken in the very crime — committing adultery,
5 Now Moses in our Law commanded, that such should be stoned: what sayest thou therefore?
and in the law, Moses did command us that such be stoned; thou, therefore, what dost thou say?'
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, trying him, that they might have to accuse him. And Jesus, having stooped down, with the finger he was writing 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.
and when they continued asking him, having bent himself back, he said unto them, 'The sinless of you — let him first cast the stone at her;'
8 And againe hee stouped downe, and wrote on the ground.
and again having stooped down, he was writing 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 having heard, and by the conscience being convicted, were going forth one by one, having begun from the elders — 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?
And Jesus having bent himself back, and having seen no one but the woman, said to her, 'Woman, where are those — thine accusers? did no one pass sentence upon thee?'
11 She said, No man, Lord. And Iesus said, Neither do I condemne thee: go and sinne no more.
and she said, 'No one, Sir;' and Jesus said to her, 'Neither do I pass sentence on thee; be going on, and no more sin.'
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 to them, saying, 'I am the light of the world; he who is following me shall not walk in the darkness, but he 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.
The Pharisees, therefore, said to him, 'Thou of thyself dost testify, 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, 'And if I testify of myself — my testimony is true, because I have known whence I came, and whither I go, and ye — ye have not known whence I come, or whither I go.
15 Ye iudge after the flesh: I iudge no man.
'Ye according to the flesh do judge; I do not judge any one,
16 And if I also iudge, my iudgement is true: for I am not alone, but I, and the Father, that sent mee.
and even if I do judge my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me;
17 And it is also written in your Lawe, that the testimonie of two men is true.
and also in your law it hath been written, that the testimony of two men are true;
18 I am one that beare witnes of my selfe, and the Father that sent me, beareth witnes of me.
I am [one] who is testifying of myself, and the Father who sent me doth testify 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, 'Ye have neither known me nor my Father: if me ye had known, my Father also ye had known.'
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 sayings spake Jesus in the treasury, teaching in the temple, and no one seized 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.
therefore said Jesus again to them, 'I go away, and ye will seek me, and in your sin ye shall die; whither I go away, ye are not able to 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 saith, Whither I go away, ye 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, '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, to you, that ye shall die in your sins, for if ye may not 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, to him, 'Thou — who art thou?' and Jesus said to them, 'Even what I did speak of to you at 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.
many things I have to speak concerning you and to judge, but He who sent me is true, and I — what things I heard from Him — these I say to the world.'
27 They vnderstoode not that hee spake to them of the Father.
They knew not that of the Father he spake to them;
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 ye may lift up the Son of Man then ye will know that I am [he]; and of myself I do nothing, but according as my Father did teach 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 who sent me is with me; the Father did not leave me alone, because I, the things pleasing to Him, do always.'
30 As hee spake these thinges, many beleeued in him.
As he is speaking 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,
Jesus, therefore, said unto the Jews who believed in him, 'If ye may remain in my word, truly my disciples ye are, and ye shall know the truth,
32 And shall know the trueth, and the trueth shall make you free.
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, 'Seed of Abraham we are; and to no one have we been servants at any time; how dost thou say — Ye shall become 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 to you — Every one who is committing sin, is a servant of the sin,
and the servant doth not remain in the house — to the age, the son doth remain — to the age; (aiōn g165)
36 If that Sonne therefore shall make you free, ye shalbe free in deede.
if then the son may make you free, in reality ye shall be free.
37 I know that ye are Abrahams seede, but yee seeke to kill mee, because my worde hath no place in you.
'I have known that ye are 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 — that which I have seen with my Father do speak, and ye, therefore, that which ye have seen with your father — ye do.'
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, 'Our father is Abraham;' Jesus saith to them, 'If children of Abraham ye were, the works of Abraham ye were doing;
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.
and now, ye seek to kill me — a man who hath spoken to you the truth I heard from 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.
ye do the works of your father.' They said, therefore, to him, 'We of whoredom have not been born; one Father we have — 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 then said to them, 'If God were your father, ye were loving me, for I came forth from God, and am come; 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.
wherefore do ye not know my speech? because ye 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.
'Ye are of a father — the devil, and the desires of your father ye will to do; he was a man-slayer from the beginning, and in the truth he hath not stood, because there is no truth in him; when one may speak the falsehood, of his own he speaketh, because he is a liar — also his father.
45 And because I tell you the trueth, yee beleeue me not.
'And because I say the truth, ye 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?
Who of you doth convict me of sin? and if I speak truth, wherefore 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 who is of God, the sayings of God he doth hear; because of this ye do not hear, because of God ye are not.'
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 we not say well, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?'
49 Iesus answered, I haue not a deuil, but I honour my Father, and ye haue dishonoured me.
Jesus answered, 'I have not a demon, 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.
and I do not seek my own glory; there is who is seeking and is judging;
verily, verily, I say to you, If any one may keep my word, death he may not see — to the age.' (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 to him, 'Now we have known that thou hast a demon; Abraham did die, and the prophets, and thou dost say, If any one may keep my word, he shall not taste of death — to the age! (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 died? and the prophets died; 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 who is glorifying 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, and I have known Him, and if I say that I have not known Him, I shall be like you — speaking falsely; but I have known Him, and His word I keep;
56 Your father Abraham reioyced to see my day, and he sawe it, and was glad.
Abraham, your father, was glad that he might see my day; and he saw, and did rejoice.'
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 Abraham hast thou seen?'
58 Iesus sayd vnto them, Verely, verely I say vnto you, before Abraham was, I am.
Jesus said to them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, Before Abraham's coming — 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, therefore, stones that they may cast at him, but Jesus hid himself, and went forth out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
