John 8
1 And at dawn he came again to the temple,
But Jesus went to the mount of Olives.
2 and all the people were coming unto him, and having sat down, he was teaching them;
And at early morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him. And having sat down, he taught them.
3 and the scribes and the Pharisees bring unto him a woman having been taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst,
And the scholars and the Pharisees bring to him a woman taken in adultery. And having stood her in the midst,
4 they say to him, 'Teacher, this woman was taken in the very crime — committing adultery,
tempting, they say to him, Teacher, we found this woman committing adultery, in the act.
5 and in the law, Moses did command us that such be stoned; thou, therefore, what dost thou say?'
Now in the law, Moses commanded us such women are to be stoned. What therefore do thou say about her?
6 and this they said, trying him, that they might have to accuse him. And Jesus, having stooped down, with the finger he was writing on the ground,
But they said this, trying him, so that they might have an accusation against him. But Jesus having stooped down, wrote on the ground with his finger, not pretending.
7 and when they continued asking him, having bent himself back, he said unto them, 'The sinless of you — let him first cast the stone at her;'
And when they continued asking him, after standing erect, he said to them, Let the innocent man of you first cast the stone at her.
8 and again having stooped down, he was writing on the ground,
And again having stooped down, he wrote on the ground.
9 and they having heard, and by the conscience being convicted, were going forth one by one, having begun from the elders — unto the last; and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
And they, having heard and being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, having begun from the elder until the last. And Jesus was left behind alone, and the woman being in the midst.
10 And Jesus having bent himself back, and having seen no one but the woman, said to her, 'Woman, where are those — thine accusers? did no one pass sentence upon thee?'
And Jesus, after standing erect, and having seen no man but the woman, he said to her, Woman, where are those accusers of thee? Did no man condemn thee?
11 and she said, 'No one, Sir;' and Jesus said to her, 'Neither do I pass sentence on thee; be going on, and no more sin.'
And she said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said to her, Neither do I condemn thee. Go, and henceforth sin no more.
12 Again, therefore, Jesus spake to them, saying, 'I am the light of the world; he who is following me shall not walk in the darkness, but he shall have the light of the life.'
Again therefore Jesus spoke to them, saying, I am the light of the world. He who follows me would, no, not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.
13 The Pharisees, therefore, said to him, 'Thou of thyself dost testify, thy testimony is not true;'
The Pharisees therefore said to him, Thou testify about thyself. Thy testimony is not valid.
14 Jesus answered and said to them, 'And if I testify of myself — my testimony is true, because I have known whence I came, and whither I go, and ye — ye have not known whence I come, or whither I go.
Jesus answered and said to them, Even if I might testify about myself, my testimony is valid, for I know where I came from and where I go, but ye do not know where I come from and where I go.
15 'Ye according to the flesh do judge; I do not judge any one,
Ye judge according to the flesh. I judge no man.
16 and even if I do judge my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me;
But even if I judge, my judgment is valid, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me.
17 and also in your law it hath been written, that the testimony of two men are true;
And also it is written in your law that the testimony of two men is valid.
18 I am [one] who is testifying of myself, and the Father who sent me doth testify of me.'
I am he who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me.
19 They said, therefore, to him, 'Where is thy father?' Jesus answered, 'Ye have neither known me nor my Father: if me ye had known, my Father also ye had known.'
They said therefore to him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye know neither me, nor my Father. If ye had known me, ye would have known my Father also.
20 These sayings spake Jesus in the treasury, teaching in the temple, and no one seized him, because his hour had not yet come;
Jesus spoke these sayings in the treasury as he taught in the temple, and no man seized him, because his hour had not yet come.
21 therefore said Jesus again to them, 'I go away, and ye will seek me, and in your sin ye shall die; whither I go away, ye are not able to come.'
Jesus therefore again said to them, I go, and ye will seek me, and ye will die in your sin. Where I go, ye cannot come.
22 The Jews, therefore, said, 'Will he kill himself, because he saith, Whither I go away, ye are not able to come?'
The Jews therefore said, Will he kill himself, because he says, Where I go, ye 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;
And he said to them, Ye are from below, I am from above. Ye are of this world, I am not of this world.
24 I said, therefore, to you, that ye shall die in your sins, for if ye may not believe that I am [he], ye shall die in your sins.'
I said therefore to you that ye will die in your sins. For unless ye believe that I am he, ye will die in your sins.
25 They said, therefore, to him, 'Thou — who art thou?' and Jesus said to them, 'Even what I did speak of to you at the beginning;
They said therefore to him, Who are thou? And Jesus said to them, The beginning, something that I am even telling you.
26 many things I have to speak concerning you and to judge, but He who sent me is true, and I — what things I heard from Him — these I say to the world.'
I have many things to say and to judge about you. But he who sent me is true, and I speak to the world these things that I heard from him.
27 They knew not that of the Father he spake to them;
They did not understand that he spoke the Father to them.
28 Jesus, therefore, said to them, 'When ye may lift up the Son of Man then ye will know that I am [he]; and of myself I do nothing, but according as my Father did teach me, these things I speak;
Jesus therefore said to them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then ye will know that I am he, and I do nothing from myself, but I speak these things as my Father taught me.
29 and He who sent me is with me; the Father did not leave me alone, because I, the things pleasing to Him, do always.'
And he who sent me is with me. The Father has not left me alone, because I always do things pleasing to him.
30 As he is speaking these things, many believed in him;
As he spoke these things of him, many believed in him.
31 Jesus, therefore, said unto the Jews who believed in him, 'If ye may remain in my word, truly my disciples ye are, and ye shall know the truth,
Jesus therefore said to those Jews who believed him, If ye remain in my word, ye are truly my disciples,
32 and the truth shall make you free.'
and ye will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.
33 They answered him, 'Seed of Abraham we are; and to no one have we been servants at any time; how dost thou say — Ye shall become free?'
They answered to him, We are Abraham's seed, and have been in bondage to no man, ever. How can thou say, Ye will become free?
34 Jesus answered them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you — Every one who is committing sin, is a servant of the sin,
Jesus answered them, Truly, truly, I say to you, that every man who does the sin is a bondman of the sin.
35 and the servant doth not remain in the house — to the age, the son doth remain — to the age; (aiōn g165)
And the bondman does not remain in the house into the age. The Son remains into the age. (aiōn g165)
36 if then the son may make you free, in reality ye shall be free.
If therefore the Son should make you free, ye will truly be free.
37 'I have known that ye are 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 has no place in you.
38 I — that which I have seen with my Father do speak, and ye, therefore, that which ye have seen with your father — ye do.'
I speak what I have seen from my Father, and ye therefore do what ye have seen from your father.
39 They answered and said to him, 'Our father is Abraham;' Jesus saith to them, 'If children of Abraham ye were, the works of Abraham ye were doing;
They answered and said to him, Abraham is our father. Jesus says to them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
40 and now, ye seek to kill me — a man who hath spoken to you the truth I heard from God; this Abraham did not;
But now ye seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham did not do this.
41 ye do the works of your father.' They said, therefore, to him, 'We of whoredom have not been born; one Father we have — God;'
Ye do the works of your father. They said therefore to him, We were not begotten from fornication. We have one Father, God.
42 Jesus then said to them, 'If God were your father, ye were loving me, for I came forth from God, and am come; for neither have I come of myself, but He sent me;
Therefore Jesus said to them, If God were your Father, ye would love me, for I came forth and have come from God. For, neither have I come for myself, but he sent me.
43 wherefore do ye not know my speech? because ye are not able to hear my word.
Why do ye not understand my speech? Because ye cannot hear my word.
44 'Ye are of a father — the devil, and the desires of your father ye will to do; he was a man-slayer from the beginning, and in the truth he hath not stood, because there is no truth in him; when one may speak the falsehood, of his own he speaketh, because he is a liar — also his father.
Ye are from the father, the devil, and ye want to do the desires of your father. He was a man-killer from the beginning, and he has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own, because he is a liar, and the father of it.
45 'And because I say the truth, ye do not believe me.
And I, because I speak the truth, ye do not believe me.
46 Who of you doth convict me of sin? and if I speak truth, wherefore do ye not believe me?
Which of you convicts me about sin? And if I speak truth, why do ye not believe me?
47 he who is of God, the sayings of God he doth hear; because of this ye do not hear, because of God ye are not.'
He who is of God hears the sayings of God. Because of this ye do not hear, because ye are not of God.
48 The Jews, therefore, answered and said to him, 'Do we not say well, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?'
Therefore the Jews answered and said to him, Do we not say well that thou are a Samaritan, and have a demon?
49 Jesus answered, 'I have not a demon, but I honour my Father, and ye dishonour me;
Jesus answered, I have no demon, but I honor my Father, and ye dishonor me.
50 and I do not seek my own glory; there is who is seeking and is judging;
But I seek not my own glory. He is who seeks and judges.
51 verily, verily, I say to you, If any one may keep my word, death he may not see — to the age.' (aiōn g165)
Truly, truly, I say to you, if any man keeps my word, he will, no, not see death, into the age. (aiōn g165)
52 The Jews, therefore, said to him, 'Now we have known that thou hast a demon; Abraham did die, and the prophets, and thou dost say, If any one may keep my word, he shall not taste of death — to the age! (aiōn g165)
The Jews therefore said to him, Now we know that thou have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets, and thou say, If any man keeps my word, he will, no, not taste of death, into the age. (aiōn g165)
53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who died? and the prophets died; whom dost thou make thyself?'
Are thou greater than our father Abraham who died? And the prophets died. Who do thou make thyself?
54 Jesus answered, 'If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing; it is my Father who is glorifying me, of whom ye say that He is your God;
Jesus answered, If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. My Father is he who glorifies me, of whom ye say, He is our God.
55 and ye have not known Him, and I have known Him, and if I say that I have not known Him, I shall be like you — speaking falsely; but I have known Him, and His word I keep;
And ye do not know him, but I know him. And if I should say that I do not know him, I will be a liar like you, but I do know him and keep his word.
56 Abraham, your father, was glad that he might see my day; and he saw, and did rejoice.'
Your father Abraham rejoiced that he could see my day, and he saw it, and was glad.
57 The Jews, therefore, said unto him, 'Thou art not yet fifty years old, and Abraham hast thou seen?'
The Jews therefore said to him, Thou have not yet fifty years, and thou have seen Abraham?
58 Jesus said to them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, Before Abraham's coming — I am;'
Jesus said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham came to be, I am.
59 they took up, therefore, stones that they may cast at him, but Jesus hid himself, and went forth out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
Therefore they took up stones so that they might throw at him, but Jesus was hid, and went out of the temple, having passed through the midst of them, and thus passed on.
