< John 8 >

1 Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.
2 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 unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with [his] finger wrote on the ground, [ as though he heard them not].
7 So 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 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
9 And they which heard [it], being convicted by [their own] conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, [even] unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
12 Then spake Jesus again unto 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.
BUT again spake Jeshu with them, and said, I am the Light of the world: he who followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall find the light of life.
13 The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true.
The Pharishee say to him, Thou of thyself testifiest: thy testimony is not the truth.
14 Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, [yet] my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go.
Jeshu answered and said to them, Though I testify of myself, my testimony is the truth: because I know from whence I am, and whither I go.
15 Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.
But you know not from whence I am, nor whither I go. You judge carnally; but I judge no man.
16 And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
Yet if I judge, my judgment is true: because I am not alone, but I and my Father who sent me.
17 It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.
So in your law it is written, that the testimony of two men is truth:
18 I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.
I am (one) who testify of myself, and my Father who sent me testifieth (also) 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 should have known my Father also.
They say to him, Where is thy Father? Jeshu answered and said to them, You know neither me, nor my Father; for if me you had known, my Father also would you have known.
20 These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.
These words spake Jeshu in the house of treasure, as he taught in the temple: and no man apprehended him; for not yet had come his hour.
21 Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.
Jeshu said again, I go, and you will seek me, and will die in your sins; and where I go you cannot come.
22 Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.
The Jihudoyee say, Will he kill himself then? for he saith, Whither I go you 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 to them, From beneath are you; but I am from above: you are of this world;
24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am [he], ye shall die in your sins.
but I am not of this world. I said to you, that you will die in your sins: for if you believe not that I AM, you will die in your sins.
25 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even [the same] that I said unto you from the beginning.
The Jihudoyee say, Who art thou? Jeshu saith to them, The same that I began to tell you.
26 I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.
Much have I against you to say and to judge: but he who hath sent me is true; and those (things) which I have heard from him these speak I in the world.
27 They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.
But they knew not that of the Father he spake to them.
28 Then said Jesus unto them, 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 my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.
JESHU saith to them again, When you have lifted up the Son of man, then shall you know that I am (he), and (that) nothing from myself I do; but as the Father hath taught me, so I speak.
29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.
And he who sent me is with me: my Father hath not left me alone; for whatever is pleasing to him I do at all time.
30 As he spake these words, many believed on him.
And as these (words) he spake, many believed on him.
31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, [then] are ye my disciples indeed;
And Jeshu said to those Jihudoyee who believed on him, If you persevere in my doctrine, you shall be truly my disciples;
32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall liberate you.
33 They answered him, We be Abraham’s seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
They say to him, We are the seed of Abraham, and never service to man have we performed; how sayest thou that we shall be sons of freedom?
34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
Jeshu saith to them, Amen I tell you, Whoever doeth sin is the servant of sin.
35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: [but] the Son abideth ever. (aiōn g165)
And the servant abideth not for ever in the house, but the Son for ever abideth. (aiōn g165)
36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
If He therefore, the Son, shall liberate you, truly shall you be sons of freedom.
37 I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
I know that you are the seed of Abraham; but you seek to kill me, because in my word you do not concur.
38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.
That which I have seen with my Father I speak, and that which you have seen with your father you do.
39 They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
They answered and said to him, Our father is Abraham. Jeshu saith to them, If you were the sons of Abraham, the works of Abraham you would do.
40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
But now you seek to kill me, the man who the truth has spoken with you, which I have heard from Aloha. This Abraham did not.
41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, [even] God.
But you do the deeds of your father. They say to him, We from fornication are not; one Father have we, Aloha.
42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
Jeshu saith to them, If Aloha were your Father, you would love me; for I from Aloha came forth, and I came not of myself, but he sent me.
43 Why do ye not understand my speech? [even] because ye cannot hear my word.
Wherefore my word do you not acknowledge? Because you cannot hear my word.
44 Ye are of [your] father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode 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 of it.
You are from your father the accuser, and the desires of your father you are willing to do. He from the beginning was the killer of men, and in the truth he stood not; therefore the truth is not in him. And when he speaketh a lie, of his own he speaketh, because of falsity he is also the father.
45 And because I tell [you] the truth, ye believe me not.
But I (speak the truth, and) because the truth I speak, you believe me not.
46 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?
Who of you convicteth me of sin? Yet if the truth I speak, why do you not believe me?
47 He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear [them] not, because ye are not of God.
He who is of Aloha the words of Aloha heareth: therefore you hear not, because you are not of Aloha.
48 Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?
The Jihudoyee answered and say to him, Did we not well say, Thou art a Shomroya, and hast a devil?
49 Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me.
Jeshu said to them, I have no devil; but my Father I honour, and you debase me.
50 And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
But I seek not my own glory; He is, who seeketh and judgeth.
51 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death. (aiōn g165)
Amen, amen, I say to you, That he who my word keepeth, death shall not see for ever. (aiōn g165)
52 Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death. (aiōn g165)
The Jihudoyee say to him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, that he who thy word keepeth, death shall not taste for ever. (aiōn g165)
53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?
Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead; and than the prophets, who are dead? What makest thou thyself?
54 Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:
Jeshu said to them, If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing: it is my Father who glorifieth me; he, of whom you say that he is your God.
55 Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.
But you know him not; but I know him: and should I say that I know him not, I should be a liar like you. But I know him, and keep his words.
56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw [it], and was glad.
Abraham, your father, desired to see my day, and he saw, and was glad.
57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
The Jihudoyee said to him, Yet the son of fifty years thou art not, and Abraham hast thou seen?
58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
Jeshu saith to them, Amen, amen, I say to you, Before Abraham was, I AM.
59 Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
And they took up stones to stone him; but Jeshu concealed himself, and went from the temple, and passed among them, and went.
