< John 8 >

1 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
but, Jesus, went unto the Mount of Olives.
2 Now very early in the morning, he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him, and he sat down and taught them.
And, early in the morning, again, came he into the temple, and all the people were coming unto him; and, sitting down, he began to teach them.
3 Then the scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst,
And the Scribes and the Pharisees bring a woman, caught, in adultery; and, setting her in the midst,
4 they said to him, "Teacher, we found this woman in adultery, in the very act.
they say unto him—Teacher! this woman, hath been caught in the very act of committing adultery!
5 Now in the Law, Moses commanded us to stone such. So what do you say?"
Now, in the law, Moses, [unto us] gave command to stone, such as these. What, then, dost, thou, say?
6 Now they said this to test him, that they might have something to accuse him of. But Jesus stooped down, and wrote on the ground with his finger.
[This, however, they were saying, by way of testing him, —that they might have whereof to accuse him.] But, Jesus, stooping down, with his finger, wrote in the ground.
7 But when they continued asking him, he looked up and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him throw the first stone at her."
When, however, they still continued questioning him, he lifted himself up and said [unto them]—He of you, that is without sin, let him first cast at her a stone;
8 Again he stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.
and, again stooping down, he wrote in the ground.
9 But when they heard it, they went out one by one, beginning from the oldest, even to the last, and he was left alone with the woman where she was, in the middle.
And, they who heard, began to go out, one by one, beginning from the elders, —and he was left, alone; the woman also, being, in the midst.
10 Then Jesus, standing up, said to her, "Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?"
And lifting himself up, Jesus said unto her—Woman, where are they? Hath, no one, condemned thee?
11 And she said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you. Go, and sin no more."
And, she, said—No one, Sir! And Jesus said—Neither do, I, condemn thee, —be going thy way: Henceforth, be sinning, no more.
12 Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life."
Again, therefore, unto them, spake Jesus, saying—I, am the light of the world: He that followeth me, shall in nowise walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
13 The Pharisees therefore said to him, "You testify about yourself. Your testimony is not valid."
The Pharisees, therefore, said unto him—Thou, concerning thyself, bearest witness: thy witness, is not true.
14 Jesus answered them, "Even if I testify about myself, my testimony is true, for I know where I came from, and where I am going; but you do not know where I came from, or where I am going.
Jesus answered, and said unto them—Even though, I, bear witness concerning myself, true, is my witness, because I know whence I came, and whither I go; but, ye, know not whence I come, and whither I go.
15 You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.
Ye, according to the flesh, do judge: I, am judging no one.
16 Even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.
And, even if, I, am judging, my judging, is, genuine, —because, alone, am I not, but, I, and the Father who sent me;
17 It's also written in your Law that the testimony of two people is valid.
And, in your own law, it is written, that, two men’s witness, is, true:
18 I am one who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me."
I, am the one bearing witness of myself, and the Father who sent me is bearing witness concerning me.
19 They said therefore to him, "Where is your Father?" Jesus answered, "You know neither me, nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father also."
They were saying unto him, therefore—Where, is thy father? Jesus answered—Neither, me, do ye know, nor yet my Father: If, me, ye had known, my Father also, had ye known.
20 Jesus spoke these words in the treasury, as he taught in the temple. Yet no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.
These sayings, spake he in the treasury, teaching in the temple, and yet, no one, seized him, because, not yet, had come his hour.
21 Jesus said therefore again to them, "I am going away, and you will seek me, and you will die in your sins. Where I go, you cannot come."
He said unto them again, therefore—I, go, and ye shall seek me, —and yet, in your sin, shall ye die: Whither, I, go, ye, cannot come.
22 The Jewish leaders therefore said, "Will he kill himself, that he says, 'Where I am going, you cannot come?'"
The Jews, therefore, were saying—Can it be that he will kill himself, that he saith, Whither, I, go, ye, cannot come?
23 He said to them, "You are from beneath. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world.
And he was saying unto them—Ye, are, of the realms below, I, am, of the realms above: Ye, are, of this world, I, am not of this world.
24 I said therefore to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am he, you will die in your sins."
Therefore said I unto you, Ye shall die in your sins: For, if ye believe not that, I, am he, ye shall die in your sins.
25 They said therefore to him, "Who are you?" Jesus said to them, "Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.
They were saying unto him, therefore—Who art, thou? Jesus said unto them—First and foremost, even what I speak unto you.
26 I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you. However he who sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these I say to the world."
Many things, have I, concerning you, to speak, and to judge; but, he who sent me, is, true, and, I, what things I heard from him, the same, speak I unto the world.
27 They did not understand that he spoke to them about the Father.
They noted not that, as touching the Father, unto them, he was speaking.
28 Jesus therefore said to them, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and I do nothing of myself, but as the Father taught me, I say these things.
Jesus, therefore, said—Whensoever ye shall lift up the Son of Man, then, shall ye know, that, I, am he, and, of myself, am doing, nothing; but, just as the Father taught me, the same things, am I speaking.
29 He who sent me is with me. The Father hasn't left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him."
And, he that sent me, is, with me: He hath not left me, alone. Because, I, the things that please him, ever do.
30 As he spoke these things, many believed in him.
As he was speaking these things, many, believed on him.
31 Jesus therefore said to those Judeans who had believed him, "If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.
Jesus was saying, therefore, unto the Jews who had believed on him—If, ye, abide in my word, of a truth, my disciples, ye are;
32 You will know the truth, and the truth will make 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 in bondage to anyone. How can you say, 'You will be made free?'"
They made answer unto him—Seed of Abraham, are we, and, unto no one, have been brought into bondage, at any time: How sayest, thou, Free, shall ye be made?
34 Jesus answered them, "Truly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin.
Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you: Every one who committeth sin, is, a slave, [of sin: ]
35 A slave does not live in the house forever. A son remains forever. (aiōn g165)
Now, the slave, doth not abide in the house, evermore. The Son, abideth, evermore. (aiōn g165)
36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
If then, the Son, shall make you free, really free, shall ye be.
37 I know that you are Abraham's descendants, yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you.
I know that ye are, seed of Abraham; but ye are seeking to kill me, because, my word, findeth no place in you.
38 I say the things which I have seen with my Father; and you also do the things which you have heard from your father."
What things, I, have seen with the Father, I am speaking; Ye, also, then, what things ye have heard from your father, are doing.—
39 They answered him, "Our father is Abraham." Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham.
They answered and said unto him—Our father, is, Abraham. Jesus saith unto them—If, children of Abraham, ye are, the works of Abraham, are ye doing.
40 But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God. Abraham did not do this.
But, now, ye are seeking, to kill me, —A man who, the truth, unto you, hath spoken, which I have heard from God: this, Abraham, did not.
41 You do the works of your father." They said to him, "We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, God."
Ye, are doing the works of your father. They said unto him—We, of fornication, were not born: One father, have we—God.
42 Therefore Jesus said to them, "If God were your father, you would love me, for I came out and have come from God. For I have not come of myself, but he sent me.
Jesus said unto them—If, God, had been your father, ye had been loving me, for, I, from God, came forth, and am here; for, not even of myself, have I come, but, he, sent me forth.
43 Why do you not understand my speech? Because you cannot hear my word.
Wherefore, is it, that, my speech, ye do not understand? 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 does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and its father.
Ye, are, of your father—the adversary, and, the covetings of your father, ye choose to be doing. He, was, a murderer, from the beginning, and, in the truth, he stood not; because truth is not in him: Whensoever he speaketh falsehood, of his own, he speaketh; because, false, he is, and, the father of it.
45 But because I tell the truth, you do not believe me.
But, as for me, because, the truth, I speak, ye do not believe me.
46 Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?
Which of you convicteth me of sin? If, truth, I speak, wherefore, do, ye, not believe me?
47 He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you do not hear, because you are not of God."
He that is of God, heareth, the sayings of God; therefore, do, ye, not hear, because, of God, ye are not.
48 Then the Judeans answered him, "Do not we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?"
The Jews answered, and said unto him—Do, we, not, well, say: Thou, art, a Samaritan, and hast a demon?
49 Jesus answered, "I do not have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.
Jesus answered—I, have not, a demon, but honour my Father: and, ye, dishonour me.
50 But I do not seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and judges.
But, I, seek not my glory: There is one who seeketh and judgeth.
51 Truly, truly, I tell you, if a person keeps my word, he will never see death." (aiōn g165)
Verily, verily, I say unto you: If anyone shall keep, my word, death, shall he not see, unto times age-abiding. (aiōn g165)
52 Then the Judeans said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and you say, 'If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste of death.' (aiōn g165)
The Jews said unto him—Now, we know that, a demon, thou hast: —Abraham, died, and, the prophets, and yet, thou, sayest: If anyone shall keep, my word, in nowise shall he taste of death, unto times age-abiding. (aiōn g165)
53 Are you greater than our father, Abraham, who died? The prophets died. Who do you make yourself out to be?"
Surely, thou, art not, greater, than our father Abraham, —who, indeed, died? and, the prophets, died: —Whom, makest thou thyself?
54 Jesus answered, "If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say 'He is our God.'
Jesus answered—If, I, glorify myself, my glory, is nothing: It is, my Father, that glorifieth me, —of whom, ye, say—He is, your God!
55 You have not known him, but I know him. If I said, 'I do not know him,' I would be like you, a liar. But I know him, and keep his word.
And yet ye have not come to know him; but, I, do know him: If I say, I know him not, I shall be like you—false; but I know him, and, his word, am I keeping.
56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day. He saw it, and was glad."
Abraham, your father, exulted that he should see my day; and he saw, and rejoiced.
57 The Judeans therefore said to him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?"
The Jews, therefore, said unto him—Fifty years old, not yet art thou, and, Abraham, hast thou seen?
58 Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I tell you, before Abraham came into existence, I AM."
Jesus said unto them—Verily, verily, I say unto you: Before, Abraham, came into existence, I, am.
59 Therefore they took up stones to throw at him, but Jesus was concealed, and went out of the temple.
They took up stones, therefore, that they might cast at him; but, Jesus, was hidden, and went forth out of the temple.
