< John 8 >

1 Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
ⲁ̅Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥϣⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲧⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓϫⲱⲓⲧ.
2 And at dawn He went again into the temple, and all the people were coming to Him; so sitting down He started to teach them.
ⲃ̅⳿ⲓⲧⲁ ⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛ⳿ⲁⲧⲟⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲉⲣⲫⲉⲓ ⲛⲓⲙⲏ ϣ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩ⳿ⲓ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥϩⲉⲙⲥⲓ ⳿ⲉϯ ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ.
3 Then the scribes and the Pharisees bring to Him a woman caught in adultery; and placing her in the center
ⲅ̅ⲛⲓⲁⲣⲭⲏ⳿ⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲉⲟⲥ ⲁⲩ⳿ⲓⲛⲓ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⲁⲩϫⲉⲙⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲟⲣⲛⲓ⳿ⲁ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩⲧⲁϩⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲑⲙⲏϯ.
4 they say to Him: “Teacher, we found this woman committing adultery, in the very act.
ⲇ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲫⲣⲉϥϯ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ⲧⲁⲓ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⲑⲁⲓ ⲁⲛϫⲉⲙⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲟⲣⲛⲓ⳿ⲁ.
5 Now in our law Moses commanded that such women are to be stoned; so what do you say?”
ⲉ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱ⳿ⲩⲥⲏⲥ ⲟⲩⲁϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲓ ⳿ⲉϩⲓⲱⲛⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲱⲥ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲕϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲕ.
6 They said this to test Him, so that they might have an accusation against Him. But stooping down Jesus began to write on the ground with His finger, taking no notice.
ⲋ̅ⲫⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩϫⲱϥ ⲉⲩⲉⲣⲡⲓⲣⲁⲍⲓⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲩϫⲉⲙ ⲗⲱⲓϫⲓ ϩⲓϫⲱϥ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲣⲓⲕⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉϥⲃⲁⲗ ⲁϥ⳿ⲥϧⲁⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥⲧⲏⲃ ϩⲓϫⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲕⲁϩⲓ.
7 But since they kept on asking Him, straightening up He said to them, “Let the one without sin among you throw the first stone at her.”
ⲍ̅ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲱⲥⲕ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱ ⲁϥϥⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲁⲫⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ϧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲁϭⲛⲉ ⲛⲟⲃⲓ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥϩⲓⲱⲛⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲱⲥ ⳿ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲛⲓ.
8 And stooping down again He continued writing on the ground.
ⲏ̅ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲁϥⲣⲉⲕ ϫⲱϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥ⳿ⲥϧⲁⲓ ϩⲓϫⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲕⲁϩⲓ.
9 Now upon hearing this, and being convicted by their conscience, they began to go out one by one, starting with the older ones down to the least. So only Jesus was left, with the woman in the center.
ⲑ̅ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲧϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩⲕⲁϯ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉϥⲥⲟϩⲓ ⲁⲩⲉⲣϩⲏⲧⲥ ⳿ⲛ⳿Ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲫⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⳿ⲫⲟⲩⲁⲓ ϣⲁⲧⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲥⲱϫⲡ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩⲁⲧϥ ⲛⲉⲙ ϯ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⲑⲏ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲥⲭⲏ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲑⲙⲏϯ.
10 So straightening up, and not seeing anyone except the woman, Jesus said to her: “Where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?”
ⲓ̅ⲁ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ϥⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲁⲫⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲥ ϫⲉ ⲱ ϯ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⲁⲩⲑⲱⲛ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲁⲩϯϩⲁⲡ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲉϥϯϩⲁⲡ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟ.
11 So she said, “No one, Lord.” Jesus said to her: “Neither do I condemn you. Go, and from now on don't sin any more!”
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ϯⲛⲁⲩ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲡⲁ⳪ ⲡⲉϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲁⲥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲉⲓ ϯϩⲁⲡ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟ ⲙⲁϣⲉ ⲛⲉ ⲓⲥϫⲉⲛ ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲣⲧⲁⲥⲑⲟ ⳿ⲉⲉⲣⲛⲟⲃⲓ ϫⲉ.
12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying: “I am the Light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk around in the darkness, but will have the light of the Life.”
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲡⲁⲗⲓⲛ ⲟⲛ ⲁϥⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲛⲉⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲫⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲫⲏⲉⲑⲛⲁⲙⲟϣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲱⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉϥⲙⲟϣⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲭⲁⲕⲓ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉϥ⳿ⲉϭⲓ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲡⲱⲛϧ.
13 So the Pharisees said to Him, “You are testifying about yourself; your testimony is not valid.”
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲉⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲕ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩⲁⲧⲕ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ ϧⲁⲣⲟⲕ ⲧⲉⲕⲙⲉⲧⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ ⲟⲩⲙⲏⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲧⲉ.
14 Jesus answered and said to them: “Even though I testify about myself, my testimony is valid, because I know where I came from and where I am going. But you do not know where I come from or where I am going.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲁϥⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲕⲁⲛ ⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲁⲓϣⲁⲛⲉⲣⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ ϧⲁⲣⲟⲓ ⲟⲩⲙⲏⲓ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲁⲙⲉⲧⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ ϫⲉ ϯ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲁⲓ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲑⲱⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲓⲛⲁϣⲉ ⲛⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉⲑⲱⲛ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲁⲓ⳿Ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲑⲱⲛ ⲓⲉ ⲁⲓⲛⲁϣⲉ ⲛⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉⲑⲱⲛ.
15 You are judging according to the flesh; I am not judging anyone.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛϯϩⲁⲡ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ϯϯϩⲁⲡ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⲁⲛ.
16 Yet even if I do judge, my judging is valid, in that I am not alone in judging, but I and the Father who sent me are together.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲁⲓϣⲁⲛϯϩⲁⲡ ⲡⲁϩⲁⲡ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲟⲩⲙⲏⲓ ⲡⲉ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛϯⲭⲏ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩⲁⲧ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁϥⲧⲁⲟⲩⲟⲓ ⳿ⲫⲓⲱⲧ.
17 It is written precisely in your law that the testimony of two men is valid:
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲥ⳿ⲥϧⲏⲟⲩⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲑⲙⲉⲧⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ ⳿ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲃ̅ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⲧⲉ.
18 I am one testifying concerning myself and the Father who sent me testifies concerning me.”
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϯⲉⲣⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ ϧⲁⲣⲟⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ϥⲉⲣⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ ϧⲁⲣⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⳿ⲫⲓⲱⲧ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲧⲁⲟⲩⲟⲓ.
19 Then they said to Him, “Where is your father?” Jesus answered: “You know neither me nor my Father. If you knew me you would also know my Father.”
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲛⲁⲩϫⲱ ⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁϥⲑⲱⲛ ⲡⲉⲕⲓⲱⲧ ⲁϥⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⲡⲁⲕⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⲛⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁⲥⲟⲩⲉⲛ ⲡⲁⲕⲉⲓⲱⲧ.
20 Jesus spoke these words in the treasury, while teaching in the temple; yet no one arrested Him, because His time had not yet come.
ⲕ̅ⲛⲁⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲁϥϫⲟⲧⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲅⲁⲍⲟⲫⲩⲗⲁⲕⲓⲟⲛ ⲉϥϯ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲉⲣⲫⲉⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⳿ϣ⳿ⲁⲙⲟⲛⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲧⲉⲥ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲧⲉϥⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩ.
21 Then Jesus said to them again: “I am going away, and you will look for me, and you will die in your sin. Where I am going you cannot come.”
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲡⲁⲗⲓⲛ ⲟⲛ ⲡⲉϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϯⲛⲁϣⲉ ⲛⲏⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁⲕⲱϯ ⳿ⲛⲥⲱⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁϫⲉⲙⲧ ⲁⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁⲙⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲟⲃⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲓⲙⲁ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⳿ⲉϯⲛⲁϣⲉ ⲛⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ϣϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ.
22 So the Jews said, “He won't kill himself, will he, since he says, ‘Where I am going you cannot come’?”
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲛⲁⲩϫⲱ ⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⲙⲏ ⲁϥⲛⲁϧⲟⲑⲃⲉϥ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩⲁⲧϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲙⲁ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⳿ⲉϯⲛⲁϣⲉ ⲛⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁϣⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲁⲛ.
23 He said to them: “You are from below; I am from Above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.

24 That is why I told you that you will die in your sins, because if you do not believe that I am, you will die in your sins.”

25 So they said to Him, “Who are you?” And Jesus said to them: “Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.

26 I have many things to say and to judge about you, but He who sent me is true, and what I myself have heard from Him—these things I say to the world.”
ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲛϯ ⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⳿ⲉϫⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲑⲏ ⲛⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲉϯϩⲁⲡ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁϥⲧⲁⲟⲩⲟⲓ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϩⲱ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲁⲓⲥⲟⲑⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲧϥ ⲛⲁⲓ ϯⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ.
27 They did not understand that He was speaking to them about the Father.

28 Then Jesus said to them: “When you lift up the Son of the Man, then you will know that I am and that I do nothing from myself; but just as my Father has taught me, these things I speak.

29 And the One who sent me is with me. The Father has not left me alone, because I always do the things that please Him.”
ⲕ̅ⲑ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁϥⲧⲁⲟⲩⲟⲓ ⳿ϥⲭⲏ ⲛⲉⲙⲏⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥⲭⲁⲧ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩⲁⲧ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϯ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏⲉⲑⲣⲁⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲛⲥⲏⲟⲩ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ.
30 While He was saying these things many believed into Him.
ⲗ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ϩⲁⲛⲙⲏϣ ⲁⲩⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ.
31 So Jesus said to those Jews who had believed Him: “If you abide in my word, you really are my disciples;

33 They answered and said to Him: “We are descendants of Abraham and have never been enslaved to anyone. How can you say, ‘You will be made free’?”
ⲗ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲩⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲛⲁ ⳿ⲡ⳿ⲥⲡⲉⲣⲙⲁ ⳿ⲛⲁⲃⲣⲁⲁⲙ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲛⲉⲣⲃⲱⲕ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲡⲱⲥ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲕ ⳿ⲕϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣⲣⲉⲙϩⲉ.
34 Jesus answered them: “I tell you most assuredly that everyone committing sin is a slave of sin.

35 Now the slave does not remain in the household forever; the son does remain forever. (aiōn g165)

36 Therefore, if the Son should make you free, you really will be free.

39 They answered and said to Him, “Our father is Abraham!” Jesus says to them: “If you were children of Abraham, you would do the works of Abraham;

41 You do the works of your father.” Then they said to Him, “We were not born of fornication; we have one Father—God.”

42 So Jesus said to them: “If God were your Father, you would love me, because I came forth from God and I am here. Further, I have not come on my own, but He sent me.
