< John 8 >

1 (Jesus however went to the Mount of Olives. *KO*)
But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
2 (Early in the morning then again He came into the temple, and all the people were coming to Him, And having sat down He was teaching them. *KO*)
Early in the morning He went back into the temple courts. All the people came to Him, and He sat down to teach them.
3 (Bring now the scribes and the Pharisees *KO*) (to him *K*) (a woman *KO*) (in *K(o)*) (adultery *KO*) (having been grasped *K(o)*) (and having set her in [the] midst *KO*)
The scribes and Pharisees, however, brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before them
4 (they say to Him, *KO*) (testing *O*) (Teacher, this woman *KO*) (was grasped *K(o)*) (in *ko*) ([the] very act committing adultery; *KO*)
and said, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery.
5 (In now the law us Moses commanded such *KO*) (to be stoned; *K(o)*) (You yourself therefore what say You? *KO*)
In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such a woman. So what do You say?”
6 (This now they were saying testing Him so that they may have [grounds] to accuse Him. But Jesus down having stooped with [His] finger *KO*) (he was writing *K(o)*) (on the ground. *KO*) (not pretending *K*)
They said this to test Him, in order to have a basis for accusing Him. But Jesus bent down and began to write on the ground with His finger.
7 (As however they were continuing asking Him, *KO*) (having stood up *K(o)*) (also *o*) (He said *KO*) (to *K*) (them *K(o)*) (The [one] sinless among you, *KO*) ([the] first *K(o)*) (at her *KO*) (*K*) (he should cast stone; *KO*)
When they continued to question Him, He straightened up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to cast a stone at her.”
8 (And again being stooped low being stooped low He was writing on the ground. *KO*)
And again He bent down and wrote on the ground.
9 (And having heard *KO*) (and by conscience being convicted *K*) (they were going away one by one having begun from the elder ones *KO*) (until of the last *K*) (and He was left alone, *KO*) (Jesus *K*) (and the woman in [the] midst *KO*) (already standing. *K(o)*)
When they heard this, they began to go away one by one, beginning with the older ones, until only Jesus was left, with the woman standing there.
10 (Having lifted up then Jesus *KO*) (and no one having seen only woman *K*) (said to her, *KO*) (the *K*) (woman, *K(o)*) (where are they *KO*) (they the accusers of you *K*) (No [one] you has condemned? *KO*)
Then Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are your accusers? Has no one condemned you?”
11 (And she said, No [one], Sir. Said then *KO*) (to her *K*) (Jesus, Neither I myself you *KO*) (do condemn; *K(O)*) (do go and *KO*) (from now [on] *O*) (no more do sin. *KO*)
“No one, Lord,” she answered. “Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Now go and sin no more.”
12 Again therefore to them spoke Jesus saying; I myself am the light of the world. the [one] following Me myself certainly not (may walk *N(k)O*) in the darkness but will have the light of life.
Once again, Jesus spoke to the people and said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will never walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.”
13 Said therefore to Him the Pharisees; You yourself concerning Yourself are bearing witness; the testimony of You not is true.
So the Pharisees said to Him, “You are testifying about Yourself; Your testimony is not valid.”
14 Answered Jesus and said to them; Even if Even if I myself shall be bearing witness concerning Myself, true is the testimony of Mine, because I know from where I came and where I am going; You yourselves however not know from where I come (or *N(k)O*) where I am going.
Jesus replied, “Even if I testify about Myself, My testimony is valid, because 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.
15 You yourselves according to the flesh judge, I myself not am judging no [one].
You judge according to the flesh; I judge no one.
16 And if shall judge however I myself, judgment My (true *N(k)O*) is, because alone not I am, but I myself and the having sent Me Father.
But even if I do judge, My judgment is true, because I am not alone; I am with the Father who sent Me.
17 And in the law also of you it has been written that of two men the testimony true is.
Even in your own Law it is written that the testimony of two men is valid.
18 I myself am the [One] bearing witness concerning Myself, and bears witness concerning Me the having sent Me Father.
I am One who testifies about Myself, and the Father, who sent Me, also testifies about Me.”
19 They were saying therefore to Him; Where is the Father of You? Answered (*k*) Jesus; Neither Me myself you know nor [know] the Father of Mine. If Me myself you had known also the Father of Mine then would you have known.
“Where is Your Father?” they asked Him. “You do not know Me or My Father,” Jesus answered. “If you knew Me, you would know My Father as well.”
20 These declarations He spoke (Jesus *k*) in the treasury teaching in the temple, and no [one] seized Him, for not yet had come the hour of Him.
He spoke these words while teaching in the temple courts, near the treasury. Yet no one seized Him, because His hour had not yet come.
21 He said then again to them (Jesus: *k*) I myself am going away and you will seek Me and in the sin of you you will die; where I myself go you yourselves not are able to come.
Again He said to them, “I am going away, and you will look for Me, but you will die in your sin. Where I am going, you cannot come.”
22 Were saying therefore the Jews; surely not ever will He kill Himself, for He says; Where I myself go you yourselves not are able to come’?
So the Jews began to ask, “Will He kill Himself, since He says, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come’?”
23 And (He was saying *N(k)O*) to them; You yourselves from below are, I myself from above am; You yourselves of this the world are, I myself not am of world this.
Then He told them, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.
24 I said therefore to you that you will die in the sins of you; only for unless you shall believe that I myself am [He], you will die in the sins of you.
That is why I told you that you would die in your sins. For unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.”
25 They were saying therefore to Him; You yourself who are? (and *k*) Said to them Jesus; From the beginning ([which] one *NK(o)*) also I am saying to you.
“Who are You?” they asked. “Just what I have been telling you from the beginning,” Jesus replied.
26 Many things I have concerning you to say and to judge; but the [One] having sent Me true is, and I myself and I myself what I have heard from Him, these things (I say *N(k)O*) to the world.
“I have much to say about you and much to judge. But the One who sent Me is truthful, and what I have heard from Him, I tell the world.”
27 Not they understood that [about] the Father to them He was speaking.
They did not understand that He was telling them about the Father.
28 Said therefore to them Jesus; When you may have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I myself am [He], and from Myself I do no [thing], but even as taught Me the Father (of mine *ko*) these things I speak.
So Jesus said, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing on My own, but speak exactly what the Father has taught Me.
29 And the [One] having sent Me with Me is; not He has left Me alone (Father *K*) because I myself the [things] pleasing to Him do always.
He who sent Me is with Me. He has not left Me alone, because I always do what pleases Him.”
30 These things when he is speaking many believed in Him.
As Jesus spoke these things, many believed in Him.
31 Was saying therefore Jesus to the having believed in Him Jews; If you yourselves shall abide in the word of Mine, truly disciples of Mine you are,
So He said to the Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, you are truly My disciples.
32 And you will know the truth, and the truth will set free you.
Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
33 They answered (unto *no*) (Him; *N(k)O*) Seed of Abraham we are and to no [one] have we been under bondage ever; How You yourself say that Free you will become’?
“We are Abraham’s descendants,” they answered. “We have never been slaves to anyone. How can You say we will be set free?”
34 Answered them Jesus; Amen Amen I say to you that everyone who is practicing the sin, a slave is of the sin.
Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin.
35 Now the slave not abides in the house to the age; the (but *o*) son abides to the age. (aiōn g165)
A slave is not a permanent member of the family, but a son belongs to it forever. (aiōn g165)
36 If therefore the Son you shall set free, indeed free you will be.
So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
37 I know that seed of Abraham you are; but you seek Me to kill, because the word of Mine not receives a place in you.
I know you are Abraham’s descendants, but you are trying to kill Me because My word has no place within you.
38 (Those which *N(k)O*) I myself have seen with the Father (of mine *K*) I speak; also you yourselves therefore (what things *N(k)O*) (you have heard *N(K)O*) from (the father *N(k)O*) (of you *K*) you do.
I speak of what I have seen in the presence of the Father, and you do what you have heard from your father.”
39 They answered and they said to Him; The father of us Abraham is. Says to them Jesus; If children of Abraham (you are, *N(k)O*) the works of Abraham (you perform *NK(o)*) (then would. *k*)
“Abraham is our father,” they replied. “If you were children of Abraham,” said Jesus, “you would do the works of Abraham.
40 now however you seek Me to kill, a man who the truth to you has spoken that I heard from God; This Abraham not did.
But now you are trying to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham never did such a thing.
41 You yourselves are doing the works of the father of you. They said therefore to Him; We ourselves of sexual immorality not (have been born; *NK(o)*) one Father we have God.
You are doing the works of your father.” “We are not illegitimate children,” they declared. “Our only Father is God Himself.”
42 Said (therefore *K*) to them Jesus; If God Father of you were, you were loving then would Me myself; I myself for from God came forth and am here. not for by Myself have I come, but He Me sent.
Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I have come here from God. I have not come on My own, but He sent Me.
43 Because of why the speech of Mine not do you understand? Because not you are able to hear the word of Mine.
Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you are unable to accept My message.
44 You yourselves of the father the devil are and the desires of the father of you you desire to do. He a murderer was from [the] beginning and in the truth not it has stood, because not there is truth in him. Whenever he may speak falsehood, from [his] own he speaks, for a liar he is and the father of it.
You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out his desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, refusing to uphold the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, because he is a liar and the father of lies.
45 I myself now because the truth speak, not you do believe Me!
But because I speak the truth, you do not believe Me!
46 Which of you convicts me concerning sin? If (now *k*) [the] truth I speak, because of why you yourselves not do believe Me?
Which of you can prove Me guilty of sin? If I speak the truth, why do you not believe Me?
47 He who is of God the declarations of God hears; because of this you yourselves not hear, because of God not you are.
Whoever belongs to God hears the words of God. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.”
48 Answered (therefore *K*) the Jews and said to Him; Surely rightly say we ourselves that a Samaritan are You yourself and a demon have?
The Jews answered Him, “Are we not right to say that You are a Samaritan and You have a demon?”
49 Answered Jesus; I myself a demon not have, but I honor the Father of Mine, and you yourselves dishonor Me.
“I do not have a demon,” Jesus replied, “but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me.
50 I myself now not seek the glory of Mine; there is One seeking [it] and judging.
I do not seek My own glory. There is One who seeks it, and He is the Judge.
51 Amen Amen I say to you; if anyone My word (*k*) shall keep, death certainly not shall he see to the age. (aiōn g165)
Truly, truly, I tell you, if anyone keeps My word, he will never see death.” (aiōn g165)
52 Said therefore to Him the Jews; Now we have known that a demon You have. Abraham died and the prophets, and You yourself say; If anyone the word of Mine shall keep, certainly not (shall he taste *N(k)O*) of death to the age. (aiōn g165)
“Now we know that You have a demon!” declared the Jews. “Abraham died, and so did the prophets, yet You say that anyone who keeps Your word will never taste death. (aiōn g165)
53 Surely not You yourself greater are than the father of us Abraham, who died? And the prophets died! Whom yourself (you yourself *k*) make You?
Are You greater than our father Abraham? He died, as did the prophets. Who do You claim to be?”
54 Answered Jesus; If I myself (shall glorify *N(k)O*) Myself, the glory of Mine no [thing] is; it is the Father of Mine who is glorifying Me [of] whom you yourselves say that God (of us *N(K)O*) He is,
Jesus answered, “If I glorify Myself, My glory means nothing. The One who glorifies Me is My Father, of whom you say ‘He is our God.’
55 And not you have known Him, I myself however know Him. And if And if I shall say that not I know Him, I will be like (you *N(k)O*) a liar; But I know Him and the word of Him I keep.
You do not know Him, but I know Him. If I said I did not know Him, I would be a liar like you. But I do know Him, and I keep His word.
56 Abraham the father of you rejoiced in that he may see day of Mine and he saw and rejoiced.
Your father Abraham rejoiced that he would see My day. He saw it and was glad.”
57 Said therefore the Jews to Him; Fifty years [old] not yet are You, and Abraham You have seen?
Then the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and You have seen Abraham?”
58 Said to them (*ko*) Jesus; Amen Amen I say to you; before Abraham being I myself am.
“Truly, truly, I tell you,” Jesus declared, “before Abraham was born, I am!”
59 They took up therefore stones that they might cast at Him. Jesus however hid Himself and He went forth out of the temple (having passed through through midst of them and He was passing by thus. *K*)
At this, they picked up stones to throw at Him. But Jesus was hidden and went out of the temple area.
