Iohannem 8
1 Jesus autem perrexit in montem Oliveti:
but Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.
2 et diluculo iterum venit in templum, et omnis populus venit ad eum, et sedens docebat eos.
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 Adducunt autem scribæ et pharisæi mulierem in adulterio deprehensam: et statuerunt eam in medio,
And the scribes and the Pharisees bring a woman taken in adultery; and having set her in the midst,
4 et dixerunt ei: Magister, hæc mulier modo deprehensa est in adulterio.
they say unto him, Master, this woman hath been taken in adultery, in the very act.
5 In lege autem Moyses mandavit nobis hujusmodi lapidare. Tu ergo quid dicis?
Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such: what then sayest thou of her?
6 Hoc autem dicebant tentantes eum, ut possent accusare eum. Jesus autem inclinans se deorsum, digito scribebat in terra.
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 Cum ergo perseverarent interrogantes eum, erexit se, et dixit eis: Qui sine peccato est vestrum, primus in illam lapidem mittat.
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 Et iterum se inclinans, scribebat in terra.
And again he stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.
9 Audientes autem unus post unum exibant, incipientes a senioribus: et remansit solus Jesus, et mulier in medio stans.
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 Erigens autem se Jesus, dixit ei: Mulier, ubi sunt qui te accusabant? nemo te condemnavit?
And Jesus lifted up himself, and said unto her, Woman, where are they? did no man condemn thee?
11 Quæ dixit: Nemo, Domine. Dixit autem Jesus: Nec ego te condemnabo: vade, et jam amplius noli peccare.
And she said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said, Neither do I condemn thee: go thy way; from henceforth sin no more.]
12 Iterum ergo locutus est eis Jesus, dicens: Ego sum lux mundi: qui sequitur me, non ambulat in tenebris, sed habebit lumen vitæ.
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 Dixerunt ergo ei pharisæi: Tu de teipso testimonium perhibes; testimonium tuum non est verum.
The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest witness of thyself; thy witness is not true.
14 Respondit Jesus, et dixit eis: Et si ego testimonium perhibeo de meipso, verum est testimonium meum: quia scio unde veni et quo vado; vos autem nescitis unde venio aut quo vado.
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 Vos secundum carnem judicatis: ego non judico quemquam;
Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.
16 et si judico ego, judicium meum verum est, quia solus non sum: sed ego et qui misit me, Pater.
Yea and if I judge, my judgment is true; for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
17 Et in lege vestra scriptum est, quia duorum hominum testimonium verum est.
Yea and in your law it is written, that the witness of two men is true.
18 Ego sum qui testimonium perhibeo de meipso, et testimonium perhibet de me qui misit me, Pater.
I am he that beareth witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.
19 Dicebant ergo ei: Ubi est Pater tuus? Respondit Jesus: Neque me scitis, neque Patrem meum: si me sciretis, forsitan et Patrem meum sciretis.
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 Hæc verba locutus est Jesus in gazophylacio, docens in templo: et nemo apprehendit eum, quia necdum venerat hora ejus.
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 Dixit ergo iterum eis Jesus: Ego vado, et quæretis me, et in peccato vestro moriemini. Quo ego vado, vos non potestis venire.
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 Dicebant ergo Judæi: Numquid interficiet semetipsum, quia dixit: Quo ego vado, vos non potestis venire?
The Jews therefore said, Will he kill himself, that he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come?
23 Et dicebat eis: Vos de deorsum estis, ego de supernis sum. Vos de mundo hoc estis, ego non sum de hoc mundo.
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 Dixi ergo vobis quia moriemini in peccatis vestris: si enim non credideritis quia ego sum, moriemini in peccato vestro.
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 Dicebant ergo ei: Tu quis es? Dixit eis Jesus: Principium, qui et loquor vobis.
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 Multa habeo de vobis loqui, et judicare; sed qui me misit, verax est; et ego quæ audivi ab eo, hæc loquor in mundo.
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 Et non cognoverunt quia Patrem ejus dicebat Deum.
They perceived not that he spake to them of the Father.
28 Dixit ergo eis Jesus: Cum exaltaveritis Filium hominis, tunc cognoscetis quia ego sum, et a meipso facio nihil, sed sicut docuit me Pater, hæc loquor:
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 et qui me misit, mecum est, et non reliquit me solum: quia ego quæ placita sunt ei, facio semper.
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 Hæc illo loquente, multi crediderunt in eum.
As he spake these things, many believed on him.
31 Dicebat ergo Jesus ad eos, qui crediderunt ei, Judæos: Si vos manseritis in sermone meo, vere discipuli mei eritis,
Jesus therefore said to those Jews which had believed him, If ye abide in my word, [then] are ye truly my disciples;
32 et cognoscetis veritatem, et veritas liberabit vos.
and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
33 Responderunt ei: Semen Abrahæ sumus, et nemini servivimus umquam: quomodo tu dicis: Liberi eritis?
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 Respondit eis Jesus: Amen, amen dico vobis: quia omnis qui facit peccatum, servus est peccati.
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 Si ergo vos filius liberaverit, vere liberi eritis.
If therefore the Son shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
37 Scio quia filii Abrahæ estis: sed quæritis me interficere, quia sermo meus non capit in vobis.
I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; yet ye seek to kill me, because my word hath not free course in you.
38 Ego quod vidi apud Patrem meum, loquor: et vos quæ vidistis apud patrem vestrum, facitis.
I speak the things which I have seen with [my] Father: and ye also do the things which ye heard from [your] father.
39 Responderunt, et dixerunt ei: Pater noster Abraham est. Dicit eis Jesus: Si filii Abrahæ estis, opera Abrahæ facite.
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 Nunc autem quæritis me interficere, hominem, qui veritatem vobis locutus sum, quam audivi a Deo: hoc Abraham non fecit.
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 Vos facitis opera patris vestri. Dixerunt itaque ei: Nos ex fornicatione non sumus nati: unum patrem habemus Deum.
Ye do the works of your father. They said unto him, We were not born of fornication; we have one Father, [even] God.
42 Dixit ergo eis Jesus: Si Deus pater vester esset, diligeretis utique et me; ego enim ex Deo processi, et veni: neque enim a meipso veni, sed ille me misit.
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 Quare loquelam meam non cognoscitis? Quia non potestis audire sermonem meum.
Why do ye not understand my speech? [Even] because ye cannot hear my word.
44 Vos ex patre diabolo estis: et desideria patris vestri vultis facere. Ille homicida erat ab initio, et in veritate non stetit: quia non est veritas in eo: cum loquitur mendacium, ex propriis loquitur, quia mendax est, et pater ejus.
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 Ego autem si veritatem dico, non creditis mihi.
But because I say the truth, ye believe me not.
46 Quis ex vobis arguet me de peccato? si veritatem dico vobis, quare non creditis mihi?
Which of you convicteth me of sin? If I say truth, why do ye not believe me?
47 Qui ex Deo est, verba Dei audit. Propterea vos non auditis, quia ex Deo non estis.
He that is of God heareth the words of God: for this cause ye hear [them] not, because ye are not of God.
48 Responderunt ergo Judæi, et dixerunt ei: Nonne bene dicimus nos quia Samaritanus es tu, et dæmonium habes?
The Jews answered and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?
49 Respondit Jesus: Ego dæmonium non habeo: sed honorifico Patrem meum, et vos inhonorastis me.
Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye dishonour me.
50 Ego autem non quæro gloriam meam: est qui quærat, et judicet.
But I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
51 Amen, amen dico vobis: si quis sermonem meum servaverit, mortem non videbit in æternum. (aiōn g165)
Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my word, he shall never see death. (aiōn g165)
52 Dixerunt ergo Judæi: Nunc cognovimus quia dæmonium habes. Abraham mortuus est, et prophetæ; et tu dicis: Si quis sermonem meum servaverit, non gustabit mortem in æternum. (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 Numquid tu major es patre nostro Abraham, qui mortuus est? et prophetæ mortui sunt. Quem teipsum facis?
Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?
54 Respondit Jesus: Si ego glorifico meipsum, gloria mea nihil est: est Pater meus, qui glorificat me, quem vos dicitis quia Deus vester est,
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 et non cognovistis eum: ego autem novi eum. Et si dixero quia non scio eum, ero similis vobis, mendax. Sed scio eum, et sermonem ejus servo.
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 Abraham pater vester exsultavit ut videret diem meum: vidit, et gavisus est.
Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day; and he saw it, and was glad.
57 Dixerunt ergo Judæi ad eum: Quinquaginta annos nondum habes, et Abraham vidisti?
The Jews therefore said unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
58 Dixit eis Jesus: Amen, amen dico vobis, antequam Abraham fieret, ego sum.
Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
59 Tulerunt ergo lapides, ut jacerent in eum: Jesus autem abscondit se, et exivit de templo.
They took up stones therefore to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple.
