John 8
1 Jesus went to the mount of Olives:
but Yeshua went to the Mount of Olives.
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.
Now very early in the morning, he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him, and he sat down and taught them.
3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought to him a woman taken in adultery: and when they had set her in the midst,
Then the scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst,
4 They say to him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
they said to him, "Teacher, we found this woman in adultery, in the very act.
5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned; but what sayest thou?
Now in the Law, Mushe commanded us to stone such. So what do you say?"
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].
Now they said this to test him, that they might have something to accuse him of. But Yeshua stooped down, and wrote on the ground with his finger.
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.
But when they continued asking him, he looked up and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him throw the first stone at her."
8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
Again he stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.
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.
But when they heard it, they went out one by one, beginning from the oldest, even to the last, and he was left alone with the woman where she was, in the middle.
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?
Then Yeshua, standing up, said to her, "Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?"
11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said to her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
And she said, "No one, Lord." And Yeshua said, "Neither do I condemn you. Go, and sin no more."
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.
Again, therefore, Yeshua 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."
13 The Pharisees therefore said to him, Thou testifiest concerning thyself; thy testimony is not true.
The Pharisees therefore said to him, "You testify about yourself. Your testimony is not valid."
14 Jesus answered and said to them, Though I testify concerning myself, [yet] my testimony is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go.
Yeshua answered them, "Even if I testify about myself, my testimony is true, for 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 Ye judge after the flesh, I judge no man.
You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.
16 And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
Even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.
17 It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.
It's also written in your Law that the testimony of two people is valid.
18 I am one that testifieth concerning myself; and the Father that sent me, testifieth concerning me.
I am one who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me."
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 would have known my Father also.
They said therefore to him, "Where is your Father?" Yeshua answered, "You know neither me, nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father also."
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.
Yeshua spoke these words in the treasury, as he taught in the temple. Yet no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.
21 Then said Jesus again to them, I am going away, and ye will seek me, and will die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.
Yeshua said therefore again to them, "I am going away, and you will seek me, and you will die in your sins. Where I go, you cannot come."
22 Then said the Jews, will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.
The Jewish leaders therefore said, "Will he kill himself, that he says, 'Where I am going, you cannot come?'"
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.
He said to them, "You are from beneath. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world.
24 I said therefore to you, that ye will die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am [he], ye will die in your sins.
I said therefore to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am he, you will die in your sins."
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.
They said therefore to him, "Who are you?" Yeshua said to them, "Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.
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.
I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you. However he who sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these I say to the world."
27 They understood not that he spoke to them concerning the Father.
They did not understand that he spoke to them about the Father.
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.
Yeshua therefore said to them, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and I do nothing of myself, but as the Father taught me, I say these things.
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.
He who sent me is with me. The Father hasn't left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him."
30 As he spoke these words, many believed on him.
As he spoke these things, many believed in him.
31 Then said Jesus to those Jews who believed on him, If ye continue in my word, ye are my disciples indeed;
Yeshua therefore said to those Yehudeans who had believed him, "If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.
32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free."
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?
They answered him, "We are Avraham's descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can you say, 'You will be made free?'"
34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say to you, Whoever committeth sin, is the servant of sin.
Yeshua answered them, "Truly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin.
A slave does not live in the house forever. A son remains forever. (aiōn g165)
36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
37 I know that ye are Abraham's offspring; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
I know that you are Avraham's descendants, yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you.
38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.
I say the things which I have seen with my Father; and you also do the things which you have heard from your father."
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.
They answered him, "Our father is Avraham." Yeshua said to them, "If you were Avraham's children, you would do the works of Avraham.
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.
But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God. Avraham did not do this.
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.
You do the works of your father." They said to him, "We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, God."
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.
Therefore Yeshua said to them, "If God were your father, you would love me, for I came out and have come from God. For I have not come of myself, but he sent me.
43 Why do ye not understand my speech? [even] because ye cannot hear my word.
Why do you not understand my speech? Because you cannot hear my word.
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.
You are of your father, the devil, and you want 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 on his own; for he is a liar, and its father.
45 And because I tell [you] the truth, ye believe me not.
But because I tell the truth, you do not believe me.
46 Which of you convicteth me of sin? And if I speak the truth, why do ye not believe me?
Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?
47 He that is of God, heareth God's words: ye therefore hear [them] not, because ye are not of God.
He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you do not hear, because you are not of God."
48 Then answered the Jews, and said to him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?
Then the Yehudeans answered him, "Do not we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?"
49 Jesus answered, I have not a demon; but I honor my Father, and ye dishonor me.
Yeshua answered, "I do not have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.
50 And I seek not my own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
But I do not seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and judges.
51 Verily, verily, I say to you, If a man shall keep my saying, he shall never see death. (aiōn g165)
Truly, truly, I tell you, if a person keeps my word, he will never see death." (aiōn g165)
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 death. (aiōn g165)
Then the Yehudeans said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon. Avraham died, and the prophets; and you say, 'If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste of death.' (aiōn g165)
53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?
Are you greater than our father, Avraham, who died? The prophets died. Who do you make yourself out to be?"
54 Jesus answered, If I honor myself, my honor is nothing: it is my Father that honoreth me, of whom ye say, that he is your God:
Yeshua answered, "If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say 'He is our God.'
55 Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I should be a liar like you: but I know him, and keep his saying.
You have not known him, but I know him. If I said, 'I do not know him,' I would be like you, a liar. But I know him, and keep his word.
56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw [it], and was glad.
Your father Avraham rejoiced to see my day. He saw it, and was glad."
57 Then said the Jews to him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
The Yehudeans therefore said to him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Avraham?"
58 Jesus said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, Before Abraham was, I am.
Yeshua said to them, "Truly, truly, I tell you, before Avraham came into existence, I AM."
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.
Therefore they took up stones to throw at him, but Yeshua was concealed, and went out of the temple.
