John 8
1 Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
but Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.
2 Early in the morning he came to the temple again, and all the people came; he sat down and taught 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 The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman caught in the act of adultery. They placed her in the middle.
And the scribes and the Pharisees bring a woman taken in adultery; and having set her in the midst,
4 Then they said to him, “Teacher, this woman has been caught in the act of adultery.
they say unto him, Master, this woman hath been taken in adultery, in the very act.
5 Now in the law, Moses commanded us to stone such people; what do you say about her?”
Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such: what then sayest thou of her?
6 They said this in order to trap him so that they might have something to accuse him about, but Jesus bent down and wrote on the ground with his finger.
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 they continued asking him questions, he stood up and said to them, “The one among you who has no sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her.”
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 Again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground with his finger.
And again he stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.
9 When they heard it, they left one by one, beginning with the oldest. Finally Jesus was left alone, with the woman who had been in the middle.
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 Jesus stood up and said to her, “Woman, where are your accusers? Did no one condemn you?”
And Jesus lifted up himself, and said unto her, Woman, where are they? did no man condemn thee?
11 She said, “No one, Lord.” Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go and sin 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 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 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 said to him, “You bear witness about yourself; your 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 to them, “Even if I bear witness about myself, my witness is true. 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 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 You judge according the flesh; I judge no one.
Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.
16 Yet if I judge, my judgment is true because I am not alone, but I am with 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 Yes, and in your law it is written that the testimony of two men is true.
Yea and in your law it is written, that the witness of two men is true.
18 I am he who bears witness about myself, and the Father who sent me bears witness about me.”
I am he that beareth witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.
19 They said to him, “Where is your father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither me nor my Father; if you had known me, you would have known my Father also.”
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 He said these words in the treasury as he taught in the temple, and no one arrested him because his hour had not yet come.
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 So again he said to them, “I am going away; you will seek me and will die in your sin. Where I am going, you 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 said, “Will he kill himself? Is that why he says, 'Where I am going you cannot come'?”
The Jews therefore said, Will he kill himself, that he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come?
23 Jesus said to them, “You are from below; I am from above. You 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, I said to you that you will die in your sins. For unless you believe that I AM, you will 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 said therefore to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them, “What I have said to you from the beginning.
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 I have many things to speak and to judge about you. However, he who sent me is true; and the things that I heard from him, these things I say to 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 did not understand that he was speaking to them about the Father.
They perceived not that he spake to them of the Father.
28 Jesus said, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then will you know that I AM, and that I do nothing of myself. As the Father taught me, I speak these things.
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 He who sent me is with me, and he has not left me alone, because I always do what is pleasing to him.”
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 Jesus was saying these things, many believed in him.
As he spake these things, many believed on him.
31 Jesus said to those Jews who had believed him, “If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples;
Jesus therefore said to those Jews which had believed him, If ye abide in my word, [then] are ye truly my disciples;
32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
33 They answered him, “We are descendants of Abraham and have never been slaves of anyone; how can you say, 'You will be set free'?”
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, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin.
Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Every one that committeth sin is the bondservant of sin.
And the bondservant abideth not in the house for ever: the son abideth for ever. (aiōn g165)
36 Therefore, if the Son sets you free, you will be truly free.
If therefore the Son shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
37 I know that you are Abraham's descendants; you seek to kill me because my word has 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 I say what I have seen with my Father, and you also do what you heard from your father.”
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 to 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 ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
40 Yet, now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham did not do this.
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 You do the works of your father.” They said to him, “We were not born in sexual immorality; we have one Father: 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 to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and am here; for neither have I come of myself, but he sent me.
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 Why do you not understand my words? It is because you cannot hear my words.
Why do ye not understand my speech? [Even] because ye cannot hear my word.
44 You are of your father, the devil, and you wish 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 from his own nature because he is a liar and the father of lies.
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 Yet, because I speak the truth, you do not believe me.
But because I say the truth, ye believe me not.
46 Which one of you convicts me of sin? If I speak the truth, why do you not believe me?
Which of you convicteth me of sin? If I say truth, why do ye not believe me?
47 He who is of God hears the words of God; you do not hear them because you are not of God.”
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 to him, “Do we not truly say that you are a Samaritan and have 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 do not have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.
Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye dishonour me.
50 I do not seek my glory; there is one seeking and judging.
But I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my word, he shall never see death. (aiōn g165)
52 The Jews said to him, “Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham and the prophets died; but you say, 'If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste death.' (aiōn g165)
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 g165)
53 You are not greater than our father Abraham who died, are you? The prophets also died. Who do you make yourself out to be?”
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 who glorifies me—about whom you say that 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 You have not known him, but I know him. If I would say, 'I do not know him,' I would be like you, a liar. However, I know him and keep his word.
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 Your father Abraham rejoiced at seeing my day; he saw it and was glad.”
Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day; and he saw it, and was glad.
57 The Jews said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and you have seen Abraham?”
The Jews therefore said unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
58 Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.”
Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
59 Then they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple.
They took up stones therefore to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple.
