John 8
1 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.
2 At dawn, He came back into the temple. All the people were coming to Him, and He sat down and began to teach 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 The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman caught in adultery, and having set her in the midst,
And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
4 they told Him, “Teacher, this woman has been caught in adultery, in the very act.
They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
5 In the Law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. What do You say?”
Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
6 They were saying this, testing Him, so that they might have grounds to accuse Him. Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with His finger, as if He didn’t hear.
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 When they persisted in asking Him, He straightened up, and told them, “Let whoever is without sin among you be the first to throw a 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 He stooped down, again, and wrote on the ground.
And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
9 When they heard this, they began to go out one by one, beginning with the older ones. Jesus was left alone with the woman still standing there.
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 Straightening up, Jesus asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”
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 one, Lord.” Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go and sin no more.”
She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
12 Jesus spoke again to the people, saying, “I am the light of the world. Anyone who follows me won’t walk in the darkness, but will have the 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 Then the Pharisees told Him, “You are testifying on your own behalf, so your testimony isn’t valid.”
The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true.
14 Jesus answered, “Even if I testify on my own behalf, my testimony is valid because I know where I came from and where I am going, but you don’t know where I come from or where I am going.
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 You judge by human standards, but I am not judging anyone.
Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.
16 Even if I do judge, my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.
And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
17 It’s also written in your Law that the testimony of two men is valid.
It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.
18 I am one who bears witness of myself, and my Father who sent me bears witness of me.”
I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.
19 Then they asked Him, “Where is Your Father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither me nor my Father. If you had known me, you would have known my Father, too.”
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 Jesus spoke these words in the treasury, as He taught in the temple. Nobody laid hands on Him, for His time had 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 Jesus told them again, “I am going away, and you will look for me, and you will die in your sin. Where I am going, you can’t 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 Therefore the Jews were saying, “Surely He won’t kill Himself, will He, since He says, ‘Where I am going, you can’t come’?”
Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.
23 Jesus was saying to them, “You are from below. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world.
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 Therefore I told you that you will die in your sins, because if you don’t believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.”
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 they asked Him, “Who are You?” Jesus told them, “Just what I have been saying to 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 have many things to say and judge about you, but He who sent me is true, and I speak to the world those things which I heard from Him.”
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 didn’t realize that He had been speaking to them about the Father.
They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.
28 So, Jesus said, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing on my own, but I speak these things as the Father taught me.
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 He who sent me is with me. He hasn’t left me alone, because I always do the things that are pleasing to 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 Jesus spoke, many came to believe in Him.
As he spake these words, many believed on him.
31 Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you continue in my words, you are truly 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 you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
33 They answered Him, “We are Abraham’s descendants, and have never been slaves to anyone. How can you say that we’ll be set 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 Jesus answered them, “Most assuredly, I tell you, whoever sins is a slave of sin.
Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever. (aiōn g165)
36 Therefore if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
37 “I know that you are Abraham’s descendants, but you seek to kill me, because my word has 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 talk about what I have seen with my Father, and you do what you have heard from 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, “Abraham is our father.” Jesus told them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works 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 now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham didn’t do this.
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 You do the deeds of your father.” Then they said to Him, “We weren’t born of fornication. We have one Father — 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 Jesus said, “If God were your Father, you would sincerely love me, for I came from God, and now am here. I haven’t come of my own initiative, 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 don’t you understand what I say? It’s because you can’t accept my words.
Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.
44 You are of your father, the Devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn’t stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, because he is a liar, and the father of lies.
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 Because I tell the truth, you don’t believe me.
And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
46 Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why don’t you believe me?
Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?
47 Whoever is from God hears God’s words. The reason you don’t hear them is that you aren’t from God.”
He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
48 The Jews answered and asked Him, “Aren’t we right in saying that You are a Samaritan and have a demon?”
Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?
49 Jesus answered, “I don’t have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.
Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me.
50 I don’t seek glory for myself, but there is One who seeks it, and He is the judge.
And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death. (aiōn g165)
52 Then the Jews answered Him, “Now we know that You have a demon! Abraham is dead, and the prophets, and You say, ‘Anyone who keeps my word will never taste 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 Surely You aren’t greater than our forefather Abraham, who died? The prophets died too. Who do You claim to be?”
Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?
54 Jesus answered, “If I honor myself, my honor is nothing. It’s my Father, who you say is your God, who honors me.
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 you haven’t come to know Him, but I know Him. If I said, ‘I don’t know Him,’ I would be a liar like you, but I do know Him and keep His word.
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 forefather Abraham rejoiced that he would see my day, and he saw it and was glad.”
Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
57 Then the Jews said to Him, “You aren’t yet fifty years old, and You have seen Abraham?”
Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
58 Jesus told them, “Most assuredly, I tell you, before Abraham was, I AM.”
Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
59 Then they took up stones to throw at Him, but Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
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.
