John 8
And at dawn He came again to the temple [courts],
and all the people were coming to Him, and having sat down, He was teaching them;
and the scribes and the Pharisees bring to Him a woman having been taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst,
they say to Him, “Teacher, this woman was taken in the very crime [of] committing adultery,
and in the Law, Moses commanded us that such be stoned; You, therefore, what do You say?”
And this they said, trying Him, that they might have to accuse Him. And Jesus, having stooped down, with the finger He was writing on the ground,
and when they continued asking Him, having bent Himself back, He said to them, “The sinless of you—let him cast the first stone at her”;
and again having stooped down, He was writing on the ground,
and they having heard, and being convicted by the conscience, were going forth one by one, having begun from the elders—to the last; and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
And Jesus having bent Himself back, and having seen no one but the woman, said to her, “Woman, where are those—your accusers? Did no one pass sentence on you?”
And she said, “No one, Lord”; and Jesus said to her, “Neither do I pass sentence on you; be going on, and sin no more.”]]
12 BUT again spake Jeshu with them, and said, I am the Light of the world: he who followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall find the light of life.
Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I AM the light of the world; he who is following Me will not walk in the darkness, but he will have the light of life.”
13 The Pharishee say to him, Thou of thyself testifiest: thy testimony is not the truth.
The Pharisees, therefore, said to Him, “You testify of Yourself, Your testimony is not true”;
14 Jeshu answered and said to them, Though I testify of myself, my testimony is the truth: because I know from whence I am, and whither I go.
Jesus answered and said to them, “And if I testify of Myself—My testimony is true, because I have known from where I came, and to where I go, and you have not known from where I come, or to where I go.
15 But you know not from whence I am, nor whither I go. You judge carnally; but I judge no man.
You judge according to the flesh; I do not judge anyone,
16 Yet if I judge, my judgment is true: because I am not alone, but I and my Father who sent me.
and even if I do judge My judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent Me;
17 So in your law it is written, that the testimony of two men is truth:
and also in your law it has been written that the testimony of two men is true;
18 I am (one) who testify of myself, and my Father who sent me testifieth (also) of me.
I am [One] who is testifying of Myself, and the Father who sent Me testifies of Me.”
19 They say to him, Where is thy Father? Jeshu answered and said to them, You know neither me, nor my Father; for if me you had known, my Father also would you have known.
They said, therefore, to Him, “Where is Your father?” Jesus answered, “You have neither known Me nor My Father: if you had known Me, you had also known My Father.”
20 These words spake Jeshu in the house of treasure, as he taught in the temple: and no man apprehended him; for not yet had come his hour.
Jesus spoke these sayings in the treasury, teaching in the temple, and no one seized Him, because His hour had not yet come;
21 Jeshu said again, I go, and you will seek me, and will die in your sins; and where I go you cannot come.
therefore Jesus said again to them, “I go away, and you will seek Me, and you will die in your sin; to where I go away, you are not able to come.”
22 The Jihudoyee say, Will he kill himself then? for he saith, Whither I go you cannot come.
The Jews, therefore, said, “Will He kill Himself, because He says, To where I go away, you are not able to come?”
23 And he said to them, From beneath are you; but I am from above: you are of this world;
And He said to them, “You are from beneath, I am from above; you are of this world, I am not of this world;
24 but I am not of this world. I said to you, that you will die in your sins: for if you believe not that I AM, you will die in your sins.
I said, therefore, to you, that you will die in your sins, for if you may not believe that I AM, you will die in your sins.”
25 The Jihudoyee say, Who art thou? Jeshu saith to them, The same that I began to tell you.
They said, therefore, to Him, “You—who are You?” And Jesus said to them, “Even what I spoke of to you at the beginning;
26 Much have I against you to say and to judge: but he who hath sent me is true; and those (things) which I have heard from him these speak I in the world.
many things I have to speak concerning you and to judge, but He who sent Me is true, and I—what things I heard from Him—these I say to the world.”
27 But they knew not that of the Father he spake to them.
They did not know that He spoke to them of the Father;
28 JESHU saith to them again, When you have lifted up the Son of man, then shall you know that I am (he), and (that) nothing from myself I do; but as the Father hath taught me, so I speak.
Jesus, therefore, said to them, “When you may lift up the Son of Man then you will know that I AM; and I do nothing of Myself, but according as My Father taught Me, these things I speak;
29 And he who sent me is with me: my Father hath not left me alone; for whatever is pleasing to him I do at all time.
and He who sent Me is with Me; the Father did not leave Me alone, because I always do the things pleasing to Him.”
30 And as these (words) he spake, many believed on him.
As He is speaking these things, many believed in Him;
31 And Jeshu said to those Jihudoyee who believed on him, If you persevere in my doctrine, you shall be truly my disciples;
Jesus, therefore, said to the Jews who believed in Him, “If you may remain in My word, you are truly My disciples,
32 and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall liberate you.
and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”
33 They say to him, We are the seed of Abraham, and never service to man have we performed; how sayest thou that we shall be sons of freedom?
They answered Him, “We are seed of Abraham; and we have been servants to no one at any time; how do You say—You will become free?”
34 Jeshu saith to them, Amen I tell you, Whoever doeth sin is the servant of sin.
Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who is committing sin, is a servant of sin,
and the servant does not remain in the house—throughout the age, the Son remains—throughout the age; (aiōn g165)
36 If He therefore, the Son, shall liberate you, truly shall you be sons of freedom.
if then the Son may make you free, in reality you will be free.
37 I know that you are the seed of Abraham; but you seek to kill me, because in my word you do not concur.
I have known that you are seed of Abraham, but you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you;
38 That which I have seen with my Father I speak, and that which you have seen with your father you do.
I speak that which I have seen with My Father, and you, therefore, do that which you have seen with your father.”
39 They answered and said to him, Our father is Abraham. Jeshu saith to them, If you were the sons of Abraham, the works of Abraham you would do.
They answered and said to Him, “Our father is Abraham”; Jesus says to them, “If you were children of Abraham, the works of Abraham you were doing;
40 But now you seek to kill me, the man who the truth has spoken with you, which I have heard from Aloha. This Abraham did not.
and now, you seek to kill Me—a Man who has spoken to you the truth I heard from God; Abraham did not do this;
41 But you do the deeds of your father. They say to him, We from fornication are not; one Father have we, Aloha.
you do the works of your father.” They said, therefore, to Him, “We have not been born of whoredom; we have one Father—God”;
42 Jeshu saith to them, If Aloha were your Father, you would love me; for I from Aloha came forth, and I came not of myself, but he sent me.
Jesus then said to them, “If God were your father, you were loving Me, for I came forth from God, and am come; for neither have I come of Myself, but He sent Me;
43 Wherefore my word do you not acknowledge? Because you cannot hear my word.
why do you not know My speech? Because you are not able to hear My word.
44 You are from your father the accuser, and the desires of your father you are willing to do. He from the beginning was the killer of men, and in the truth he stood not; therefore the truth is not in him. And when he speaketh a lie, of his own he speaketh, because of falsity he is also the father.
You are of a father—the Devil, and the desires of your father you will to do; he was a manslayer from the beginning, and he has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him; when one may speak the falsehood, he speaks of his own, because he is a liar—also his father.
45 But I (speak the truth, and) because the truth I speak, you believe me not.
And because I say the truth, you do not believe Me.
46 Who of you convicteth me of sin? Yet if the truth I speak, why do you not believe me?
Who of you convicts Me of sin? And if I speak truth, why do you not believe Me?
47 He who is of Aloha the words of Aloha heareth: therefore you hear not, because you are not of Aloha.
He who is of God, he hears the sayings of God; because of this you do not hear, because you are not of God.”
48 The Jihudoyee answered and say to him, Did we not well say, Thou art a Shomroya, and hast a devil?
The Jews, therefore, answered and said to Him, “Do we not say well, that You are a Samaritan, and have a demon?”
49 Jeshu said to them, I have no devil; but my Father I honour, and you debase me.
Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon, but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me;
50 But I seek not my own glory; He is, who seeketh and judgeth.
and I do not seek My own glory; there is [One] who is seeking and is judging;
truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone may keep My word, he may not see death—throughout the age.” (aiōn g165)
52 The Jihudoyee say to him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, that he who thy word keepeth, death shall not taste for ever. (aiōn g165)
The Jews, therefore, said to Him, “Now we have known that You have a demon; Abraham died, and the prophets, and You say, If anyone may keep My word, he will not taste of death—throughout the age! (aiōn g165)
53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead; and than the prophets, who are dead? What makest thou thyself?
Are You greater than our father Abraham, who died? And the prophets died; whom do You make Yourself?”
54 Jeshu said to them, If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing: it is my Father who glorifieth me; he, of whom you say that he is your God.
Jesus answered, “If I glorify Myself, My glory is nothing; it is My Father who is glorifying Me, of whom you say that He is your God;
55 But you know him not; but I know him: and should I say that I know him not, I should be a liar like you. But I know him, and keep his words.
and you have not known Him, and I have known Him, and if I say that I have not known Him, I will be like you—speaking falsely; but I have known Him, and I keep His word;
56 Abraham, your father, desired to see my day, and he saw, and was glad.
your father Abraham was glad that he might see My day; and he saw, and rejoiced.”
57 The Jihudoyee said to him, Yet the son of fifty years thou art not, and Abraham hast thou seen?
The Jews, therefore, said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and You have seen Abraham?”
58 Jeshu saith to them, Amen, amen, I say to you, Before Abraham was, I AM.
Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham’s coming—I AM”;
59 And they took up stones to stone him; but Jeshu concealed himself, and went from the temple, and passed among them, and went.
they took up, therefore, stones that they may cast at Him, but Jesus hid Himself, and went forth out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
