John 8
1 JESUS went unto the mount of Olives.
2 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 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
6 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 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 again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
9 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 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 Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
12 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.
Jesús les habló otra vez: Yo soy la Luz del mundo. El que me sigue, de ningún modo andará en la oscuridad, sino tendrá la Luz de la Vida.
13 The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true.
Los fariseos le dijeron: Tú das testimonio de Ti mismo. Tu testimonio no es verdadero.
14 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.
Jesús respondió: Aunque Yo dé testimonio de Mí mismo, mi testimonio es verdadero porque sé de dónde vine y a dónde voy. Pero ustedes no lo saben.
15 Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.
Ustedes juzgan según la apariencia. Yo a nadie juzgo.
16 And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
Si juzgo, mi juicio es verdadero, porque no estoy solo, sino Yo y el Padre Quien me envió.
17 It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.
En la Ley de ustedes está escrito que el testimonio de dos hombres es veraz.
18 I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.
Yo doy testimonio de Mí mismo, y el que me envió también da testimonio de Mí.
19 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.
Entonces le preguntaron: ¿Dónde está tu padre? Jesús respondió: No me conocen a Mí ni a mi Padre. Si me conocieran a Mí, también conocerían a mi Padre.
20 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.
Estas palabras habló cuando enseñaba frente al tesoro en el Templo, pero nadie lo detuvo, porque no había llegado su hora.
21 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.
[Jesús] les dijo otra vez: Yo me voy, y me buscarán. En su pecado morirán. Adonde Yo voy, ustedes no pueden ir.
22 Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.
Entonces los judíos se preguntaban: ¿Se suicidará? Porque dice: Adonde Yo voy, ustedes no pueden ir.
23 And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
Les decía: Ustedes son de abajo, Yo soy de arriba. Ustedes son de este mundo, Yo no soy de este mundo.
24 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.
Por eso les dije que morirán en sus pecados. Si no creen que Yo Soy, morirán en sus pecados.
25 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.
Entonces le preguntaron: ¿Tú Quién eres? Jesús les respondió: Lo que les dije [desde] el principio.
26 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.
Tengo que decir y juzgar muchas cosas con respecto a ustedes, pero el que me envió es veraz. Yo hablo en el mundo lo que oí de Él.
27 They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.
Pero [ellos] no entendieron que [Jesús] les hablaba del Padre.
28 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.
Entonces Jesús dijo: Cuando [ustedes] levanten al Hijo del Hombre comprenderán que Yo Soy, y que nada hago por iniciativa propia, sino hablo lo que el Padre me enseñó.
29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.
El que me envió está conmigo. No me dejó solo, porque Yo siempre hago lo que le agrada.
30 As he spake these words, many believed on him.
Cuando Él decía esto muchos creyeron en Él.
31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
Entonces Jesús decía a los judíos que creyeron en Él: Si ustedes permanecen en mi Palabra, son verdaderamente mis discípulos.
32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Conocerán la Verdad, y la Verdad los libertará.
33 They answered him, We be Abraham’s seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
Le respondieron: Somos descendencia de Abraham, y jamás fuimos esclavos. ¿Porque dices que seremos libres?
34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
Jesús les respondió: En verdad, en verdad les digo que todo el que practica el pecado es esclavo del pecado.
El esclavo no permanece en casa para siempre. El hijo permanece para siempre. (aiōn g165)
36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
Así que si el Hijo los liberta, serán verdaderamente libres.
37 I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
Sé que son descendientes de Abraham, pero quieren matarme porque mi Palabra no penetra en ustedes.
38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.
Yo hablo lo que vi junto al Padre, y ustedes hacen lo que oyeron del padre [de ustedes].
39 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.
Respondieron: Nuestro padre es Abraham. Jesús les dijo: Si fueran hijos de Abraham, harían las obras de Abraham.
40 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.
Pero ahora quieren matar a un Hombre Quien les habla la verdad que oyó de Dios. Abraham no hizo esto.
41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
Ustedes hacen las obras de su padre. Le contestaron: Nosotros no nacimos de inmoralidad sexual. Un Padre tenemos: Dios.
42 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.
Jesús les respondió: Si Dios fuera su Padre, ciertamente me amarían, porque Yo procedo de Dios. No vine por iniciativa propia, sino Él me envió.
43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.
¿Por qué no entienden lo que digo? Porque no quieren escuchar mi Palabra.
44 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.
Ustedes son de [su] padre el diablo, y quieren practicar los deseos de su padre. Él fue homicida desde el principio y no permaneció en la verdad, porque no hay verdad en él. Cuando miente, habla de lo suyo, pues es mentiroso y padre de mentira.
45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
Pero Yo [les] digo la verdad y no me creen.
46 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?
¿Quién de ustedes me reprocha de pecado? Si digo verdad, ¿por qué ustedes no me creen?
47 He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
El que es de Dios escucha las Palabras de Dios. Por eso ustedes no las escuchan, porque no son de Dios.
48 Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?
Los judíos respondieron: ¿No tenemos razón cuando decimos que Tú eres samaritano y tienes demonio?
49 Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me.
Jesús respondió: Yo no tengo demonio, sino honro a mi Padre. Y ustedes me deshonran.
50 And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
Pero Yo no busco mi gloria. Hay Uno que [la] busca y juzga.
En verdad, en verdad les digo: Si alguno practica mi Palabra, que de ningún modo sufra muerte para siempre. (aiōn g165)
52 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)
Los judíos le dijeron: Ahora entendemos que tienes demonio. Abraham y los profetas murieron. Tú dices: Si alguno practica mi Palabra, que de ningún modo sufra muerte para siempre. (aiōn g165)
53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?
¿Eres Tú mayor que nuestro padre Abraham? Él y los profetas murieron. ¿Quién crees que eres?
54 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:
Jesús respondió: Si Yo me glorifico a Mí mismo, mi gloria no vale. Me glorifica mi Padre, de Quien ustedes dicen que es su Dios.
55 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.
Ustedes no lo conocen, pero Yo lo conozco. Si dijera que no lo conozco, sería un mentiroso semejante a ustedes. Pero lo conozco y guardo su Palabra.
56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
Abraham, el padre de ustedes, se regocijó al ver mi día. [Lo] vio y se regocijó.
57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
Entonces los judíos le dijeron: Aún no tienes 50 años, ¿y viste a Abraham?
58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
Jesús les contestó: En verdad, en verdad les digo: Antes que Abraham existiera, Yo Soy.
59 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.
Entonces, [los judíos] tomaron piedras para lanzárselas, pero Jesús se ocultó y salió del Templo.
