John 8
1 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
But Jesus went to the mount of Olives;
2 Now very early in the morning, he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him. He sat down and taught them.
and returned early in the morning into the temple, and all the people came to Him: and He sat down, and taught them.
3 The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery. Having set her in the middle,
And the scribes and pharisees brought to Him a woman taken in adultery;
4 they told him, “Teacher, we found this woman in adultery, in the very act.
and setting her in the midst, they said to Him, "This woman was caught in the very act, committing adultery.
5 Now in our law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. What then do you say about her?”
Now Moses in the law has commanded us that such women should be stoned, but what sayest Thou?"
6 They said this testing him, that they might have something to accuse him of. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger.
This they said to tempt Him, that they might have something to accuse Him of. But Jesus stooping down, wrote with his finger upon the ground.
7 But when they continued asking him, he looked up and said to them, “He who is without sin amongst you, let him throw the first stone at her.”
And as they continued asking Him, He raised himself up and said unto them, "Let him that is without sin among you, first cast a stone at her."
8 Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger.
Then He stooped down again and wrote on the ground.
9 They, when they heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning from the oldest, even to the last. Jesus was left alone with the woman where she was, in the middle.
But when they heard his answer, being convicted by their own conscience, they went out one by one, beginning at the elder, even to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst of the people.
10 Jesus, standing up, saw her and said, “Woman, where are your accusers? Did no one condemn you?”
Then Jesus rising up, and seeing none but the woman, said unto her, Where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
11 She said, “No one, Lord.” Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go your way. From now on, sin no more.”
And she said, None, Lord. Then said Jesus unto her, Neither do I condemn thee, Go thy way and sin no more.
12 Again, therefore, 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.”
Then spake Jesus 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.
13 The Pharisees therefore said to him, “You testify about yourself. Your testimony is not valid.”
The pharisees therefore said to Him, Thou bearest witness of thyself; thy testimony is not true.
14 Jesus 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 don’t know where I came from, or where I am going.
Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear witness of myself, my testimony is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I am going; but ye know not whence I come, nor whither I go.
15 You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.
Ye judge according to the flesh, but I judge no man as yet:
16 Even if I do judge, my judgement is true, for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.
though if I should judge, my judgement is true; for I am not alone, but I am with the Father that sent me.
17 It’s also written in your law that the testimony of two people is valid.
And it is written in your own law, that the testimony of two persons is valid.
18 I am one who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me.”
Now I am one, who bear witness of myself; and the Father, who sent me, beareth witness of me.
19 They said therefore to him, “Where is your Father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither me nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father also.”
Then said they unto 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.
20 Jesus spoke these words in the treasury, as he taught in the temple. Yet no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.
These words spake Jesus in the treasury, when He was teaching in the temple: and no one laid hands on Him, for his hour was not yet come.
21 Jesus 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 can’t come.”
Jesus therefore said unto them again, "I am going away, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sin: where I go ye cannot come."
22 The Jews therefore said, “Will he kill himself, because he says, ‘Where I am going, you can’t come’?”
The Jews therefore said, What! will He kill himself; that He says, where I am going, ye cannot come?
23 He said to them, “You are from beneath. 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 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.”
Therefore I said unto you, that ye shall die in your sins; for if ye believe not that I am the Messiah, ye shall die in your sins.
25 They said therefore to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them, “Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.
Then said they to Him, Who art thou? And Jesus answered them, Even the same that I told you at first.
26 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.”
I have many things to say and to judge concerning you: but I only say, He that sent me is true, and I declare to the world those things, which I have heard from Him.
27 They didn’t understand that he spoke to them about the Father.
But they did not know that He spake unto them of the Father.
28 Jesus 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 my Father taught me, I say these things.
Jesus therefore said unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then ye shall know that I am He, and that I do nothing of myself, but as my Father hath instructed me, I speak these things.
29 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.”
And He that sent me, is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I always do the things that are pleasing to Him.
30 As he spoke these things, many believed in him.
As He spake these words many believed on Him.
31 Jesus therefore said to those Jews who had believed him, “If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.
Therefore said Jesus to the Jews that believed on Him, If ye continue in my word, ye are indeed my disciples.
32 You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
33 They answered him, “We are Abraham’s offspring, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How do you say, ‘You will be made free’?”
They answered Him, We are the seed of Abraham, and never were slaves to any one, how then dost thou say, Ye shall be made free?
34 Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the bondservant of sin.
Jesus answered them, Verily, verily I say unto you, whosoever maketh a practice of sin, is the servant of sin.
Now the servant does not continue always in the family: but the Son abideth always. (aiōn g165)
36 If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.
If therefore the Son make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
37 I know that you are Abraham’s offspring, yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you.
I know that ye are the seed of Abraham, but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
38 I say the things which I have seen with my Father; and you also do the things which you have seen with your father.”
I speak that which I have seen with my Father, and ye do what ye have seen with your father.
39 They answered him, “Our father is Abraham.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham.
They answered Him, Abraham is our father, Jesus replied, If ye were the children of Abraham, ye would do the works of Abraham:
40 But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham didn’t do this.
but now ye seek to kill me, who have told you the truth which I have heard from God: Abraham did not thus.
41 You do the works of your father.” They said to him, “We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, God.”
But ye do the works of your father. Then said they unto Him, We are not born of fornication, we have one Father, even God.
42 Therefore Jesus said to them, “If God were your father, you would love me, for I came out and have come from God. For I haven’t 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 do come, from God; neither came I of myself, but He sent me.
43 Why don’t you understand my speech? Because you can’t hear my word.
And why do ye not understand my language, but because ye cannot bear my doctrine?
44 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 doesn’t 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 the father of lies.
Ye are of your father the devil, and are bent upon doing the lusts of your father: he was a murderer from the beginning, and continued not in the truth: for there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh like himself, for he is a liar, and the father of such.
45 But because I tell the truth, you don’t believe me.
And because I say the truth, ye believe me not. Which of you convicteth me of sin?
46 Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?
And if I speak truth, why do ye not believe me?
47 He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you don’t hear, because you are not of God.”
He, that is of God, receiveth the words of God; but ye therefore receive them not, because ye are not of God.
48 Then the Jews answered him, “Don’t we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?”
The Jews therefore answered and said unto Him. Do we not rightly say, that thou art a Samaritan, and art possessed by a demon?
49 Jesus answered, “I don’t have a demon, but I honour my Father and you dishonour me.
Jesus answered I am not possessed by a demon, but I honour my Father, though ye dishonour me.
50 But I don’t seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and judges.
And I seek not my own glory; there is One that seeketh it, and judgeth.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, If any one keep my word, he shall never see death. (aiōn g165)
52 Then the Jews said to him, “Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, as did the prophets; and you say, ‘If a man keeps my word, he will never taste of death.’ (aiōn g165)
The Jews therefore said unto Him, Now we are sure that thou art possessed by a demon. Abraham is dead, and the prophets too; and thou sayest, If any one keep my word, he shall never taste of death: art thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? (aiōn g165)
53 Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? The prophets died. Who do you make yourself out to be?”
and the prophets are dead: whom dost thou pretend to be?
54 Jesus answered, “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say that he is our God.
Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honor 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 said, ‘I don’t know him,’ I would be like you, a liar. But I know him and keep his word.
And yet ye know him not; but I know Him: and if I should say, That I know Him not, I shall be like you, a liar: but I know Him, and obey his word.
56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day. He saw it and was glad.”
Your father Abraham longed to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
57 The Jews therefore said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old! Have you seen Abraham?”
Then said the Jews unto Him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
58 Jesus said to them, “Most certainly, I tell you, before Abraham came into existence, I AM.”
Jesus said unto them, Before Abraham was, I am.
59 Therefore they took up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple, having gone through the middle of them, and so passed by.
Therefore they took up stones to throw at Him. But Jesus concealed Himself, and went out of the temple, through the midst of them, and so passed on.
