John 8
1 But Jesus went to the mount of Olives;
but Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.
2 and returned early in the morning into the temple, and all the people came to Him: and 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 And the scribes and pharisees brought to Him a woman taken in adultery;
And the scribes and the Pharisees bring a woman taken in adultery; and having set her in the midst,
4 and setting her in the midst, they said to Him, "This woman was caught in the very act, committing adultery.
they say unto him, Master, this woman hath been taken in adultery, in the very act.
5 Now Moses in the law has commanded us that such women should be stoned, but what sayest Thou?"
Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such: what then sayest thou of her?
6 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.
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 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."
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 Then He stooped down again and wrote on the ground.
And again he stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.
9 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.
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 Then Jesus rising up, and seeing none but the woman, said unto her, Where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
And Jesus lifted up himself, and said unto her, Woman, where are they? did no man condemn thee?
11 And she said, None, Lord. Then said Jesus unto her, Neither do I condemn thee, Go thy way 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 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.
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 therefore said to Him, Thou bearest witness of thyself; thy testimony is not true.
The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest witness of thyself; thy witness is not true.
14 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.
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 Ye judge according to the flesh, but I judge no man as yet:
Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.
16 though if I should judge, my judgement is true; for I am not alone, but I am with the Father that 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 And it is written in your own law, that the testimony of two persons is valid.
Yea and in your law it is written, that the witness of two men is true.
18 Now I am one, who bear witness of myself; and the Father, who sent me, beareth witness of me.
I am he that beareth witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.
19 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.
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 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.
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 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."
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 therefore said, What! will He kill himself; that He says, where I am going, ye cannot come?
The Jews therefore said, Will he kill himself, that he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come?
23 And He said unto them, Ye are from beneath, I am from above: ye 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 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.
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 Then said they to Him, Who art thou? And Jesus answered them, Even the same that I told you at first.
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 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.
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 But they did not know that He spake unto them of the Father.
They perceived not that he spake to them of the Father.
28 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.
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 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.
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 He spake these words many believed on Him.
As he spake these things, many believed on him.
31 Therefore said Jesus to the Jews that believed on Him, If ye continue in my word, ye are indeed 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 ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
33 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?
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, Verily, verily I say unto you, whosoever maketh a practice of sin, is the servant 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 If therefore the Son make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
If therefore the Son shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
37 I know that ye are the seed of Abraham, but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath 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 speak that which I have seen with my Father, and ye do what ye have seen with 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 Him, Abraham is our father, Jesus replied, If ye were the children of Abraham, ye 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 but now ye seek to kill me, who have told you the truth which I have heard from God: Abraham did not thus.
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 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.
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 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.
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 And why do ye not understand my language, but because ye cannot bear my doctrine?
Why do ye not understand my speech? [Even] because ye cannot hear my word.
44 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.
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 And because I say the truth, ye believe me not. Which of you convicteth me of sin?
But because I say the truth, ye believe me not.
46 And if I speak truth, why do ye not believe me?
Which of you convicteth me of sin? If I say truth, why do ye not believe me?
47 He, that is of God, receiveth the words of God; but ye therefore receive them not, because ye 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 therefore answered and said unto Him. Do we not rightly say, that thou art a Samaritan, and art possessed by 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 am not possessed by a demon, but I honour my Father, though ye dishonour me.
Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye dishonour me.
50 And I seek not my own glory; there is One that seeketh it, and judgeth.
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 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)
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 and the prophets are dead: whom dost thou pretend 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 honour myself, my honor is nothing: it is my Father that glorifieth me, of whom ye 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 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.
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 longed to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day; and he saw it, and was glad.
57 Then said the Jews unto Him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
The Jews therefore said unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
58 Jesus said unto them, Before Abraham was, I am.
Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
59 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.
They took up stones therefore to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple.
