< John 8 >
1 Jesus went to the mount of Olives.
(Ἰησοῦς δὲ ἐπορεύθη εἰς τὸ ὄρος τῶν ἐλαιῶν. *KO*)
2 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.
(ὄρθρου δὲ πάλιν παρεγένετο εἰς τὸ ἱερὸν, καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἤρχετο πρὸς αὐτόν, καὶ καθίσας ἐδίδασκεν αὐτούς. *KO*)
3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought to him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
(ἄγουσιν δὲ οἱ γραμματεῖς καὶ οἱ Φαρισαῖοι *KO*) (πρὸς αὐτὸν *K*) (γυναῖκα *KO*) (ἐν *K(o)*) (μοιχείᾳ *KO*) (κατειλημμένην *K(o)*) (καὶ στήσαντες αὐτὴν ἐν μέσῳ *KO*)
4 They say to him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
(λέγουσιν αὐτῷ, *KO*) (πειράζοντες *O*) (διδάσκαλε, αὕτη ἡ γυνὴ *KO*) (κατείληφθη *K(o)*) (ἐπ᾽ *ko*) (αὐτοφώρῳ μοιχευομένη· *KO*)
5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
(ἐν δὲ τῷ νόμῳ ἡμῖν Μωϋσῆς ἐνετείλατο τὰς τοιαύτας *KO*) (λιθοβολεῖσθαι· *K(o)*) (σὺ οὖν τί λέγεις; *KO*)
6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
(τοῦτο δὲ ἔλεγον πειράζοντες αὐτόν, ἵνα ἔχωσιν κατηγορεῖν αὐτοῦ. ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς κάτω κύψας τῷ δακτύλῳ *KO*) (ἔγραφεν *K(o)*) (εἰς τὴν γῆν. *KO*) (μὴ προσποιούμενος *K*)
7 So when they continued asking him, he raised himself, and said to them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
(ὡς δὲ ἐπέμενον ἐρωτῶντες αὐτόν, *KO*) (ἀνακύψας *K(o)*) (καὶ *o*) (εἶπεν *KO*) (πρὸς *K*) (αὐτούς, *K(o)*) (ὁ ἀναμάρτητος ὑμῶν, *KO*) (πρῶτος *K(o)*) (ἐπ᾽ αὐτὴν *KO*) (τὸν *K*) (βαλέτω λίθον· *KO*)
8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
(καὶ πάλιν κατακύψας κατακύψας ἔγραφεν εἰς τὴν γῆν. *KO*)
9 And they who heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even to the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
(οἱ δὲ ἀκούσαντες *KO*) (καὶ ὑπὸ τῆς συνειδήσεως ἐλεγχόμενοι *K*) (ἐξήρχοντο εἷς καθ εἷς ἀρξάμενοι ἀπὸ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων *KO*) (ἕως τῶν ἐσχάτων, *K*) (καὶ κατελείφθη μόνος, *KO*) (ὁ Ἰησοῦς *K*) (καὶ ἡ γυνὴ ἐν μέσῳ *KO*) (ἑστῶσα. *K(o)*)
10 When Jesus had raised himself, and saw none but the woman, he said to her, Woman, where are those thy accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
(ἀνακύψας δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς *KO*) (καὶ μηδένα θεασάμενος πλὴν τὴς γυναικός *K*) (εἶπεν αὐτῇ· *KO*) (ἡ *K*) (γυνή, *K(o)*) (ποῦ εἰσιν *KO*) (ἐκεῖνοι οἱ κατήγοροί σου *K*) (οὐδείς σε κατέκρινεν; *KO*)
11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said to her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
(ἡ δὲ εἶπεν, οὐδείς, κύριε. εἶπεν δὲ *KO*) (αὐτῇ *K*) (ὁ Ἰησοῦς, οὐδὲ ἐγώ σε *KO*) (κατακρίνω· *K(O)*) (πορεύου καὶ *KO*) (ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν *O*) (μηκέτι ἁμάρτανε. *KO*)
12 Then Jesus spoke again to them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
Πάλιν οὖν αὐτοῖς ἐλάλησεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς λέγων· ἐγώ εἰμι τὸ φῶς τοῦ κόσμου. ὁ ἀκολουθῶν ἐμοὶ οὐ μὴ (περιπατήσῃ *N(k)O*) ἐν τῇ σκοτίᾳ ἀλλ᾽ ἕξει τὸ φῶς τῆς ζωῆς.
13 The Pharisees therefore said to him, Thou barest witness concerning thyself; thy witness is not true.
Εἶπον οὖν αὐτῷ οἱ Φαρισαῖοι· σὺ περὶ σεαυτοῦ μαρτυρεῖς· ἡ μαρτυρία σου οὐκ ἔστιν ἀληθής.
14 Jesus answered and said to them, Though I witness concerning myself, yet my witness is true: for I know from where I came, and where I go; but ye cannot tell from where I come, and where I go.
Ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· κἂν κἂν ἐγὼ μαρτυρῶ περὶ ἐμαυτοῦ, ἀληθής ἐστιν ἡ μαρτυρία μου, ὅτι οἶδα πόθεν ἦλθον καὶ ποῦ ὑπάγω· ὑμεῖς δὲ οὐκ οἴδατε πόθεν ἔρχομαι (ἢ *N(k)O*) ποῦ ὑπάγω.
15 Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.
ὑμεῖς κατὰ τὴν σάρκα κρίνετε, ἐγὼ οὐ κρίνω οὐδένα.
16 And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
καὶ ἐὰν κρίνω δὲ ἐγώ, ἡ κρίσις ἡ ἐμὴ (ἀληθινή *N(k)O*) ἐστιν, ὅτι μόνος οὐκ εἰμί, ἀλλ᾽ ἐγὼ καὶ ὁ πέμψας με πατήρ.
17 It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.
καὶ ἐν τῷ νόμῳ δὲ τῷ ὑμετέρῳ γέγραπται ὅτι δύο ἀνθρώπων ἡ μαρτυρία ἀληθής ἐστιν.
18 I am one that bear witness concerning myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness concerning me.
ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ μαρτυρῶν περὶ ἐμαυτοῦ, καὶ μαρτυρεῖ περὶ ἐμοῦ ὁ πέμψας με πατήρ.
19 Then said they to him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.
ἔλεγον οὖν αὐτῷ· ποῦ ἐστιν ὁ πατήρ σου; Ἀπεκρίθη (ὁ *k*) Ἰησοῦς· οὔτε ἐμὲ οἴδατε οὔτε τὸν πατέρα μου. εἰ ἐμὲ ᾔδειτε καὶ τὸν πατέρα μου ἂν ᾔδειτε.
20 These words Jesus spoke in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.
ταῦτα τὰ ῥήματα ἐλάλησεν (ὁ Ἰησοῦς *k*) ἐν τῷ γαζοφυλακίῳ διδάσκων ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ, καὶ οὐδεὶς ἐπίασεν αὐτόν, ὅτι οὔπω ἐληλύθει ἡ ὥρα αὐτοῦ.
21 Then said Jesus again to them, I am going away, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: where I go, ye cannot come.
Εἶπεν οὖν πάλιν αὐτοῖς (ὁ Ἰησοῦς· *k*) ἐγὼ ὑπάγω, καὶ ζητήσετέ με καὶ ἐν τῇ ἁμαρτίᾳ ὑμῶν ἀποθανεῖσθε· ὅπου ἐγὼ ὑπάγω ὑμεῖς οὐ δύνασθε ἐλθεῖν.
22 Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Where I go, ye cannot come.
ἔλεγον οὖν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι· μήτι ἀποκτενεῖ ἑαυτόν, ὅτι λέγει· ὅπου ἐγὼ ὑπάγω ὑμεῖς οὐ δύνασθε ἐλθεῖν;
23 And he said to them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
καὶ (ἔλεγεν *N(k)O*) αὐτοῖς· ὑμεῖς ἐκ τῶν κάτω ἐστέ, ἐγὼ ἐκ τῶν ἄνω εἰμί· ὑμεῖς ἐκ τούτου τοῦ κόσμου ἐστέ, ἐγὼ οὐκ εἰμὶ ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου τούτου.
24 I said therefore to you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
εἶπον οὖν ὑμῖν ὅτι ἀποθανεῖσθε ἐν ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις ὑμῶν· ἐὰν γὰρ μὴ πιστεύσητε ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι, ἀποθανεῖσθε ἐν ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις ὑμῶν.
25 Then said they to him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith to them, Even the same that I said to you from the beginning.
ἔλεγον οὖν αὐτῷ· σὺ τίς εἶ; (καὶ *k*) εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· τὴν ἀρχὴν (ὅ τι *NK(o)*) καὶ λαλῶ ὑμῖν.
26 I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard from him.
πολλὰ ἔχω περὶ ὑμῶν λαλεῖν καὶ κρίνειν· ἀλλ᾽ ὁ πέμψας με ἀληθής ἐστιν, κἀγὼ κἀγὼ ἃ ἤκουσα παρ᾽ αὐτοῦ, ταῦτα (λαλῶ *N(k)O*) εἰς τὸν κόσμον.
27 They understood not that he spoke to them concerning the Father.
οὐκ ἔγνωσαν ὅτι τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῖς ἔλεγεν.
28 Then said Jesus to them, 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 my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.
εἶπεν οὖν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· ὅταν ὑψώσητε τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου, τότε γνώσεσθε ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι, καὶ ἀπ᾽ ἐμαυτοῦ ποιῶ οὐδέν, ἀλλὰ καθὼς ἐδίδαξέν με ὁ πατὴρ (μου, *ko*) ταῦτα λαλῶ.
29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.
καὶ ὁ πέμψας με μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ ἐστιν· οὐκ ἀφῆκέν με μόνον (ὁ πατήρ, *K*) ὅτι ἐγὼ τὰ ἀρεστὰ αὐτῷ ποιῶ πάντοτε.
30 As he spoke these words, many believed on him.
ταῦτα αὐτοῦ λαλοῦντος πολλοὶ ἐπίστευσαν εἰς αὐτόν.
31 Then said Jesus to those Jews who believed on him, If ye continue in my word, ye are my disciples indeed;
Ἔλεγεν οὖν ὁ Ἰησοῦς πρὸς τοὺς πεπιστευκότας αὐτῷ Ἰουδαίους· ἐὰν ὑμεῖς μείνητε ἐν τῷ λόγῳ τῷ ἐμῷ, ἀληθῶς μαθηταί μού ἐστε,
32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
καὶ γνώσεσθε τὴν ἀλήθειαν, καὶ ἡ ἀλήθεια ἐλευθερώσει ὑμᾶς.
33 They answered him, We are Abraham’s offspring, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
ἀπεκρίθησαν (πρὸς *no*) (αὐτόν· *N(k)O*) σπέρμα Ἀβραάμ ἐσμεν καὶ οὐδενὶ δεδουλεύκαμεν πώποτε· πῶς σὺ λέγεις ὅτι ἐλεύθεροι γενήσεσθε;
34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say to you, Whoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
ἀπεκρίθη αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι πᾶς ὁ ποιῶν τὴν ἁμαρτίαν, δοῦλός ἐστιν τῆς ἁμαρτίας.
35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth for ever. (aiōn )
ὁ δὲ δοῦλος οὐ μένει ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα· ὁ (δὲ *o*) υἱὸς μένει εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα. (aiōn )
36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
ἐὰν οὖν ὁ υἱὸς ὑμᾶς ἐλευθερώσῃ, ὄντως ἐλεύθεροι ἔσεσθε.
37 I know that ye are Abraham’s offspring; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
οἶδα ὅτι σπέρμα Ἀβραάμ ἐστε· ἀλλὰ ζητεῖτέ με ἀποκτεῖναι, ὅτι ὁ λόγος ὁ ἐμὸς οὐ χωρεῖ ἐν ὑμῖν.
38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.
(ἃ *N(k)O*) ἐγὼ ἑώρακα παρὰ τῷ πατρὶ (μου *K*) λαλῶ· καὶ ὑμεῖς οὖν (ἃ *N(k)O*) (ἠκούσατε *N(K)O*) παρὰ (τοῦ πατρὸς *N(k)O*) (ὑμῶν *K*) ποιεῖτε.
39 They answered and said to him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith to them, If ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
Ἀπεκρίθησαν καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ· ὁ πατὴρ ἡμῶν Ἀβραάμ ἐστιν. λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· εἰ τέκνα τοῦ Ἀβραάμ (ἐστε, *N(k)O*) τὰ ἔργα τοῦ Ἀβραὰμ (ἐποιεῖτε *NK(o)*) (ἄν. *k*)
40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard from God: this did not Abraham.
νῦν δὲ ζητεῖτέ με ἀποκτεῖναι, ἄνθρωπον ὃς τὴν ἀλήθειαν ὑμῖν λελάληκα ἣν ἤκουσα παρὰ τοῦ θεοῦ· τοῦτο Ἀβραὰμ οὐκ ἐποίησεν.
41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We are not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
ὑμεῖς ποιεῖτε τὰ ἔργα τοῦ πατρὸς ὑμῶν. εἶπαν οὖν αὐτῷ· ἡμεῖς ἐκ πορνείας οὐ (γεγεννήμεθα· *NK(o)*) ἕνα πατέρα ἔχομεν τὸν θεόν.
42 Jesus said to them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
Εἶπεν (οὖν *K*) αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· εἰ ὁ θεὸς πατὴρ ὑμῶν ἦν, ἠγαπᾶτε ἂν ἐμέ· ἐγὼ γὰρ ἐκ τοῦ θεοῦ ἐξῆλθον καὶ ἥκω. οὐδὲ γὰρ ἀπ᾽ ἐμαυτοῦ ἐλήλυθα, ἀλλ᾽ ἐκεῖνός με ἀπέστειλεν.
43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.
διὰ τί τὴν λαλιὰν τὴν ἐμὴν οὐ γινώσκετε; ὅτι οὐ δύνασθε ἀκούειν τὸν λόγον τὸν ἐμόν.
44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode 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 of it.
ὑμεῖς ἐκ τοῦ πατρὸς τοῦ διαβόλου ἐστὲ καὶ τὰς ἐπιθυμίας τοῦ πατρὸς ὑμῶν θέλετε ποιεῖν. ἐκεῖνος ἀνθρωποκτόνος ἦν ἀπ᾽ ἀρχῆς καὶ ἐν τῇ ἀληθείᾳ οὐκ ἔστηκεν, ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἀλήθεια ἐν αὐτῷ. ὅταν λαλῇ τὸ ψεῦδος, ἐκ τῶν ἰδίων λαλεῖ, ὅτι ψεύστης ἐστὶν καὶ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ.
45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
ἐγὼ δὲ ὅτι τὴν ἀλήθειαν λέγω, οὐ πιστεύετέ μοι.
46 Which of you convicteth me of sin? And if I speak the truth, why do ye not believe me?
τίς ἐξ ὑμῶν ἐλέγχει με περὶ ἁμαρτίας; εἰ (δὲ *k*) ἀλήθειαν λέγω, διὰ τί ὑμεῖς οὐ πιστεύετέ μοι;
47 He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
ὁ ὢν ἐκ τοῦ θεοῦ τὰ ῥήματα τοῦ θεοῦ ἀκούει· διὰ τοῦτο ὑμεῖς οὐκ ἀκούετε, ὅτι ἐκ τοῦ θεοῦ οὐκ ἐστέ.
48 Then answered the Jews, and said to him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?
Ἀπεκρίθησαν (οὖν *K*) οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ· οὐ καλῶς λέγομεν ἡμεῖς ὅτι Σαμαρίτης εἶ σὺ καὶ δαιμόνιον ἔχεις;
49 Jesus answered, I have not a demon; but I honour my Father, and ye dishonour me.
Ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς· ἐγὼ δαιμόνιον οὐκ ἔχω, ἀλλὰ τιμῶ τὸν πατέρα μου, καὶ ὑμεῖς ἀτιμάζετέ με.
50 And I seek not my own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
ἐγὼ δὲ οὐ ζητῶ τὴν δόξαν μου· ἔστιν ὁ ζητῶν καὶ κρίνων.
51 Verily, verily, I say to you, If a man shall keep my saying, he shall never see death. (aiōn )
Ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν· ἐάν τις τὸν ἐμὸν λόγον (τὸν *k*) τηρήσῃ, θάνατον οὐ μὴ θεωρήσῃ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα. (aiōn )
52 Then said the Jews to him, Now we know that thou hast a demon. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man shall keep my saying, he shall never taste of death. (aiōn )
Εἶπον οὖν αὐτῷ οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι· νῦν ἐγνώκαμεν ὅτι δαιμόνιον ἔχεις. Ἀβραὰμ ἀπέθανεν καὶ οἱ προφῆται, καὶ σὺ λέγεις· ἐάν τις τὸν λόγον μου τηρήσῃ, οὐ μὴ (γεύσηται *N(k)O*) θανάτου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα. (aiōn )
53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?
μὴ σὺ μείζων εἶ τοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν Ἀβραάμ, ὅστις ἀπέθανεν; καὶ οἱ προφῆται ἀπέθανον. τίνα σεαυτὸν (σὺ *k*) ποιεῖς;
54 Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:
Ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς· ἐὰν ἐγὼ (δοξάσω *N(k)O*) ἐμαυτόν, ἡ δόξα μου οὐδέν ἐστιν· ἔστιν ὁ πατήρ μου ὁ δοξάζων με ὃν ὑμεῖς λέγετε ὅτι θεὸς (ἡμῶν *N(K)O*) ἐστιν,
55 Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like you: but I know him, and keep his saying.
καὶ οὐκ ἐγνώκατε αὐτόν, ἐγὼ δὲ οἶδα αὐτόν. κἂν κἂν εἴπω ὅτι οὐκ οἶδα αὐτόν, ἔσομαι ὅμοιος (ὑμῖν *N(k)O*) ψεύστης· ἀλλ᾽ οἶδα αὐτὸν καὶ τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ τηρῶ.
56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
Ἀβραὰμ ὁ πατὴρ ὑμῶν ἠγαλλιάσατο ἵνα ἴδῃ τὴν ἡμέραν τὴν ἐμὴν καὶ εἶδεν καὶ ἐχάρη.
57 Then said the Jews to him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
εἶπον οὖν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι πρὸς αὐτόν· πεντήκοντα ἔτη οὔπω ἔχεις, καὶ Ἀβραὰμ ἑώρακας;
58 Jesus said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, Before Abraham was, I am.
Εἶπεν αὐτοῖς (ὁ *ko*) Ἰησοῦς· ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν· πρὶν Ἀβραὰμ γενέσθαι ἐγὼ εἰμί.
59 Then they took up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
ἦραν οὖν λίθους ἵνα βάλωσιν ἐπ᾽ αὐτόν. Ἰησοῦς δὲ ἐκρύβη καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἐκ τοῦ ἱεροῦ (διελθὼν διὰ μέσου αὐτῶν καὶ παρῆγεν οὕτως. *K*)
