< John 8 >
1 but, Jesus, went unto the Mount of Olives.
but Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.
2 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.
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 the Pharisees bring a woman, caught, in adultery; and, setting her in the midst,
And the scribes and the Pharisees bring a woman taken in adultery; and having set her in the midst,
4 they say unto him—Teacher! this woman, hath been caught in the very act of committing adultery!
they say unto him, Master, this woman hath been taken in adultery, in the very act.
5 Now, in the law, Moses, [unto us] gave command to stone, such as these. What, then, dost, thou, say?
Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such: what then sayest thou of her?
6 [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.
And this they said, tempting him, that they might have [whereof] to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.
7 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;
But 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 stooping down, he wrote in the ground.
And again he stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.
9 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.
And they, when they heard it, went out one by one, beginning from the eldest, [even] unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman, where she was, in the midst.
10 And lifting himself up, Jesus said unto her—Woman, where are they? Hath, no one, condemned thee?
And Jesus lifted up himself, and said unto her, Woman, where are they? did no man condemn thee?
11 And, she, said—No one, Sir! And Jesus said—Neither do, I, condemn thee, —be going thy way: Henceforth, be sinning, no more.
And she said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said, Neither do I condemn thee: go thy way; from henceforth sin no more.]
12 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.
Again therefore Jesus spake unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life.
13 The Pharisees, therefore, said unto him—Thou, concerning thyself, bearest witness: thy witness, is not true.
The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest witness of thyself; thy witness is not true.
14 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.
Jesus answered and said unto them, Even if I bear witness of myself, my witness is true; for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye know not whence I come, or whither I go.
15 Ye, according to the flesh, do judge: I, am judging no one.
Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.
16 And, even if, I, am judging, my judging, is, genuine, —because, alone, am I not, but, I, and the Father who sent me;
Yea and if I judge, my judgment is true; for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
17 And, in your own law, it is written, that, two men’s witness, is, true:
Yea and in your law it is written, that the witness of two men is true.
18 I, am the one bearing witness of myself, and the Father who sent me is bearing witness concerning me.
I am he that beareth witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.
19 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.
They said therefore unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye know neither me, nor my Father: if ye knew me, ye would know my Father also.
20 These sayings, spake he in the treasury, teaching in the temple, and yet, no one, seized him, because, not yet, had come his hour.
These words spake he in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man took him; because his hour was not yet come.
21 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.
He said therefore again unto them, I go away, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sin: whither I go, ye cannot come.
22 The Jews, therefore, were saying—Can it be that he will kill himself, that he saith, Whither, I, go, ye, cannot come?
The Jews therefore said, Will he kill himself, that he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come?
23 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.
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 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.
I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for except ye believe that I am [he], ye shall die in your sins.
25 They were saying unto him, therefore—Who art, thou? Jesus said unto them—First and foremost, even what I speak unto you.
They said therefore unto him, Who art thou? Jesus said unto them, Even that which I have also spoken unto you from the beginning.
26 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.
I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you: howbeit he that sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these speak I unto the world.
27 They noted not that, as touching the Father, unto them, he was speaking.
They perceived not that he spake to them of the Father.
28 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.
Jesus therefore said, 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 the Father taught me, I speak these things.
29 And, he that sent me, is, with me: He hath not left me, alone. Because, I, the things that please him, ever do.
And he that sent me is with me; he hath not left me alone; for I do always the things that are pleasing to him.
30 As he was speaking these things, many, believed on him.
As he spake these things, many believed on him.
31 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;
Jesus therefore said to those Jews which had believed him, If ye abide in my word, [then] are ye truly my disciples;
32 And ye shall know the truth, and, the truth, shall make you free.
and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
33 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?
They answered unto him, We be Abraham’s seed, and have never yet been in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you: Every one who committeth sin, is, a slave, [of sin: ]
Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Every one that committeth sin is the bondservant of sin.
35 Now, the slave, doth not abide in the house, evermore. The Son, abideth, evermore. (aiōn )
And the bondservant abideth not in the house for ever: the son abideth for ever. (aiōn )
36 If then, the Son, shall make you free, really free, shall ye be.
If therefore the Son shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
37 I know that ye are, seed of Abraham; but ye are seeking to kill me, because, my word, findeth no place in you.
I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; yet ye seek to kill me, because my word hath not free course in you.
38 What things, I, have seen with the Father, I am speaking; Ye, also, then, what things ye have heard from your father, are doing.—
I speak the things which I have seen with [my] Father: and ye also do the things which ye heard from [your] father.
39 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.
They answered and said unto him, Our father is Abraham. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
40 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.
But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I heard from God: this did not Abraham.
41 Ye, are doing the works of your father. They said unto him—We, of fornication, were not born: One father, have we—God.
Ye do the works of your father. They said unto him, We were not born of fornication; we have one Father, [even] God.
42 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.
Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I came forth and am come from God; for neither have I come of myself, but he sent me.
43 Wherefore, is it, that, my speech, ye do not understand? because ye cannot hear my word.
Why do ye not understand my speech? [Even] because ye cannot hear my word.
44 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.
Ye are of [your] father the devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and stood 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 thereof.
45 But, as for me, because, the truth, I speak, ye do not believe me.
But because I say the truth, ye believe me not.
46 Which of you convicteth me of sin? If, truth, I speak, wherefore, do, ye, not believe me?
Which of you convicteth me of sin? If I say truth, why do ye not believe me?
47 He that is of God, heareth, the sayings of God; therefore, do, ye, not hear, because, of God, ye are not.
He that is of God heareth the words of God: for this cause ye hear [them] not, because ye are not of God.
48 The Jews answered, and said unto him—Do, we, not, well, say: Thou, art, a Samaritan, and hast a demon?
The Jews answered and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?
49 Jesus answered—I, have not, a demon, but honour my Father: and, ye, dishonour me.
Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye dishonour me.
50 But, I, seek not my glory: There is one who seeketh and judgeth.
But I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
51 Verily, verily, I say unto you: If anyone shall keep, my word, death, shall he not see, unto times age-abiding. (aiōn )
Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my word, he shall never see death. (aiōn )
52 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 )
The Jews said unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my word, he shall never taste of death. (aiōn )
53 Surely, thou, art not, greater, than our father Abraham, —who, indeed, died? and, the prophets, died: —Whom, makest thou thyself?
Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?
54 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!
Jesus answered, If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing: it is my Father that glorifieth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God;
55 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.
and ye have not known him: but I know him; and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be like unto you, a liar: but I know him, and keep his word.
56 Abraham, your father, exulted that he should see my day; and he saw, and rejoiced.
Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day; and he saw it, and was glad.
57 The Jews, therefore, said unto him—Fifty years old, not yet art thou, and, Abraham, hast thou seen?
The Jews therefore said unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
58 Jesus said unto them—Verily, verily, I say unto you: Before, Abraham, came into existence, I, am.
Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
59 They took up stones, therefore, that they might cast at him; but, Jesus, was hidden, and went forth out of the temple.
They took up stones therefore to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple.
