John 8
1 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
But Jesus went to 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 he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him; and he sat down and taught 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 [to him] a woman taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst,
4 they said to him, "Teacher, we found this woman in adultery, in the very act.
they say to him, Teacher, this woman has been taken in the very act, committing adultery.
5 Now in the Law, Moses commanded us to stone such. So what do you say?"
Now in the law Moses has commanded us to stone such; thou therefore, what sayest thou?
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.
But this they said proving him, that they might have [something] to accuse him [of]. But Jesus, having stooped down, wrote with his finger on 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."
But when they continued asking him, he lifted himself up and said to them, Let him that is without sin among you first cast the stone at her.
8 Again he stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.
And again stooping down he wrote on 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.
But they, having heard [that], went out one by one beginning from the elder ones until the last; and Jesus was left alone and the woman standing there.
10 Then Jesus, standing up, said to her, "Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?"
And Jesus, lifting himself up and seeing no one but the woman, said to her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? Has 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 to her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin 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 Jesus spoke to them, saying, I am the light of the world; he that follows me shall not 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 to him, Thou bearest witness concerning thyself; 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 to them, Even if I bear witness concerning myself, my witness is true, 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 judge according to the flesh, I judge 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 if also I judge, my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who has sent me.
17 It's also written in your Law that the testimony of two people is valid.
And in your law too it is written that the testimony of two men is true:
18 I am one who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me."
I am [one] who bear witness concerning myself, and the Father who has sent me bears 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 said to him therefore, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye know neither me nor my Father. If ye had known me, ye would have known also my Father.
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 words spoke he in the treasury, teaching in the temple; and no one took him, for his hour was not yet come.
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 therefore again to them, I go away, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sin; where 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 said, Will he kill himself, that he says, Where 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 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 to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am he, you will die in your sins."
I said therefore to you, that ye shall die in your sins; for unless ye shall believe 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 said therefore to him, Who art thou? [And] Jesus said to them, Altogether that which I also say to 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."
I have many things to say and to judge concerning you, but he that has sent me is true, and I, what I have heard from him, these things I say to the world.
27 They did not understand that he spoke to them about the Father.
They knew not that he spoke to them of the Father.
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 to them, When ye shall have lifted up the Son of man, then ye shall know that I am [he], and [that] I do nothing of myself, but as the Father has taught me I speak these things.
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 has sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, because I do always the things that are pleasing to him.
30 As he spoke these things, many believed in him.
As he spoke 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 therefore said to the Jews who believed him, If ye abide in my word, ye are truly my disciples;
32 You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free."
and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall set 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 answered him, We are Abraham's seed, and have never been under bondage to any one; how sayest thou, Ye shall become free?
34 Jesus answered them, "Truly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin.
Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say to you, Every one that practises sin is the bondman of sin.
Now the bondman abides not in the house for ever: the son abides for ever. (aiōn g165)
36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
If therefore the Son shall set you free, ye shall be really free.
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 Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word has no entrance 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."
I speak what I have seen with my Father, and ye then do what ye have seen with your father.
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 to him, Abraham is our father. Jesus says to 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 did not do this.
but now ye seek to kill me, a man who has spoken the truth to you, which I have heard from God: this did not Abraham.
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 do the works of your father. They said [therefore] to him, We are not born of fornication; we have one father, 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 to them, If God were your father ye would have loved me, for I came forth from God and am come [from him]; for neither am I come of myself, but he has sent me.
43 Why do you not understand my speech? Because you cannot hear my word.
Why do ye not know my speech? 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 the devil, as [your] father, and ye desire to do the lusts of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks falsehood, he speaks of what is his own; for he is a liar and its father:
45 But because I tell the truth, you do not believe me.
and because I speak the truth, 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 convinces me of sin? If I speak truth, why 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 hears the words of God: therefore ye hear [them] not, because ye are not of God.
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 to him, Say we not well that 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 I 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 do not seek my own glory: there is he that seeks and judges.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, If any one shall keep my word, he shall never see death. (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 therefore said to him, Now we know that thou hast a demon. Abraham has died, and the prophets, and thou sayest, If any one keep my word, he shall never taste death. (aiōn g165)
53 Are you greater than our father, Abraham, who died? The prophets died. Who do you make yourself out to be?"
Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who has died? and the prophets have 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 who glorifies me, [of] whom ye say, He is our 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 ye know him not; but I know him; and if I said, I know him not, I should be like you, a liar. But I know him, and I keep his word.
56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day. He saw it, and was glad."
Your father Abraham exulted in 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 to him, Thou hast not yet fifty years, and hast thou seen Abraham?
58 Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I tell you, before Abraham came into existence, I AM."
Jesus said to them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, 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 therefore stones that they might cast [them] at him; but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple, [going through the midst of them, and thus passed on.]
