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 at early morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him. And having sat down, he taught them.
3 The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery. Having set her in the middle,
And the scholars and the Pharisees bring to him a woman taken in adultery. And having stood her in the midst,
4 they told him, “Teacher, we found this woman in adultery, in the very act.
tempting, they say to him, Teacher, we found this woman committing adultery, in the act.
5 Now in our law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. What then do you say about her?”
Now in the law, Moses commanded us such women are to be stoned. What therefore do thou say about her?
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.
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 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.”
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 Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger.
And again having stooped down, he 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.
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 Jesus, standing up, saw her and said, “Woman, where are your accusers? Did no one condemn you?”
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 She said, “No one, Lord.” Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go your way. From now on, sin no more.”
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 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.”
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, “You testify about yourself. Your testimony is not valid.”
The Pharisees therefore said to him, Thou testify about thyself. Thy testimony is not valid.
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 do not know where I came from, or where I am going.
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 You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.
Ye judge according to the flesh. I judge no man.
16 Even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for I am not alone, but I am with 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 It’s also written in your law that the testimony of two people is valid.
And also it is written in your law that the testimony of two men is valid.
18 I am one who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about 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 your Father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither me nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father also.”
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 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.
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 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 cannot 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 says, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come’?”
The Jews therefore said, Will he kill himself, because he says, Where I go, 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 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 you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am he, you will 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, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them, “Just what I have been saying to you from 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 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 about you. But he who sent me is true, and I speak to the world these things that I heard from him.
27 They did not understand that he spoke to them about the Father.
They did not understand that he spoke the Father to them.
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 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 He who sent me is with me. The Father has not left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him.”
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 spoke these things, many believed in him.

31 Jesus therefore said to those Jews who had believed him, “If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.
Jesus therefore said to those Jews who believed him, If ye remain in my word, ye are truly my disciples,
32 You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”
and ye will know the truth, and the truth will 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 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, “Most certainly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the bondservant of sin.
Jesus answered them, Truly, truly, I say to you, that every man who does the sin is a bondman of the sin.
35 A bondservant does not live in the house for life (aiōn g165). A son remains for a lifetime (aiōn g165).
And the bondman does not remain in the house into the age. The Son remains into the age. (aiōn g165)
36 If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.
If therefore the Son should make you free, ye will truly be free.
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 Abraham's seed, yet ye seek to kill me, because my word has 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 what I have seen from my Father, and ye therefore do what ye have seen from 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 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 But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham did not do this.
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 You do the works of your father.” They said to him, “We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, 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 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 have not 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 Why do not you understand my speech? Because you cannot hear my word.
Why do ye not understand my speech? Because ye cannot hear my word.
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 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 the father of lies.
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 But because I tell the truth, you do not believe me.
And I, because I speak the truth, ye do not believe me.
46 Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you 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 hears the words of God. For this cause you do not hear, because you are not of God.”
He who is of God hears the sayings of God. Because of this ye do not hear, because ye are not of God.
48 Then the Jews answered him, “Do not we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have 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 do not have a demon, but I honor my Father and you dishonor me.
Jesus answered, I have no demon, but I honor my Father, and ye dishonor me.
50 But I do not seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and judges.
But I seek not my own glory. He is who seeks and judges.
51 Most certainly, I tell you, if a person keeps my word, he will never see death in this 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 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 in this 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 Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? The prophets died. Who do you make yourself out to be?”
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 glorifies me, of whom you say that he is our 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 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.
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 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day. He saw it and was glad.”
Your father Abraham rejoiced that he could 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?”
The Jews therefore said to him, Thou have not yet fifty years, and thou have seen Abraham?
58 Jesus said to them, “Most certainly, I tell you, before Abraham came into existence, I AM.”
Jesus said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham came to be, 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 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.
