< John 8 >

1 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.
3 The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery. Having set her in the middle,
4 they told him, “Teacher, we found this woman in adultery, in the very act.
5 Now in our law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. What then do you 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.
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.”
8 Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger.
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.
10 Jesus, standing up, saw her and said, “Woman, where are your accusers? Did no one condemn you?”
11 She said, “No one, Lord.” Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go your way. From now on, 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.”
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 to him, “You testify about yourself. Your testimony is not valid.”
The Pharishee say to him, Thou of thyself testifiest: thy testimony is not the truth.
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 don’t know where I came from, or where I am going.
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 You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.
But you know not from whence I am, nor whither I go. You judge carnally; but 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.
Yet if I judge, my judgment is true: because I am not alone, but I and my Father who sent me.
17 It’s also written in your law that the testimony of two people is valid.
So in your law it is written, that the testimony of two men is truth:
18 I am one who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me.”
I am (one) who testify of myself, and my Father who sent me testifieth (also) of 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 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 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.
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 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 can’t 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 The Jews therefore said, “Will he kill himself, because he says, ‘Where I am going, you can’t come’?”
The Jihudoyee say, Will he kill himself then? for he saith, Whither I go you 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, From beneath are you; but I am from above: you are 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.”
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 They said therefore to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them, “Just what I have been saying to 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 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.”
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 didn’t understand that he spoke to them about the Father.
But they knew not that of the Father he spake 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.
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 He who sent me is with me. The Father hasn’t left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to 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 spoke these things, many believed in him.
And as these (words) he spake, many believed on him.
31 Jesus therefore said to those Jews who had believed him, “If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.
And Jeshu said to those Jihudoyee who believed on him, If you persevere in my doctrine, you shall be truly my disciples;
32 You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”
and you shall know the truth, and the truth shall liberate you.
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 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, “Most certainly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the bondservant of sin.
Jeshu saith to them, Amen I tell you, Whoever doeth sin is the servant of sin.
35 A bondservant doesn’t live in the house forever. A son remains forever. (aiōn g165)
And the servant abideth not for ever in the house, but the Son for ever abideth. (aiōn g165)
36 If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.
If He therefore, the Son, shall liberate you, truly shall you be sons of freedom.
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 you are the seed of Abraham; but you seek to kill me, because in my word you do not concur.
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.”
That which I have seen with my Father I speak, and that which you have seen with your father you do.
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, 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 you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham didn’t do this.
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 You do the works of your father.” They said to him, “We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, God.”
But you do the deeds of your father. They say to him, We from fornication are not; one Father have we, Aloha.
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 haven’t come 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 don’t you understand my speech? Because you can’t hear my word.
Wherefore my word do you not acknowledge? Because you 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 doesn’t 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.
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 But because I tell the truth, you don’t believe me.
But I (speak the truth, and) because the truth I speak, you believe me not.
46 Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?
Who of you convicteth me of sin? Yet if the truth I speak, why do you not believe me?
47 He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you don’t hear, because you 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 the Jews answered him, “Don’t we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?”
The Jihudoyee answered and say to him, Did we not well say, Thou art a Shomroya, and hast a devil?
49 Jesus answered, “I don’t have a demon, but I honor my Father and you dishonor me.
Jeshu said to them, I have no devil; but my Father I honour, and you debase me.
50 But I don’t seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and judges.
But I seek not my own glory; He is, who seeketh and judgeth.
51 Most certainly, I tell you, if a person keeps my word, he will 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 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.’ (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 Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? The prophets died. Who do you make yourself out to be?”
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 glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say that he is our 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 You have not known him, but I know him. If I said, ‘I don’t know him,’ I would be like you, a liar. But I know him and keep his word.
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. He saw it and was glad.”
Abraham, your father, desired to see my day, and he saw, and was glad.
57 The Jews therefore said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old! Have you seen Abraham?”
The Jihudoyee said to him, Yet the son of fifty years thou art not, and Abraham hast thou seen?
58 Jesus said to them, “Most certainly, I tell you, before Abraham came into existence, I AM.”
Jeshu saith to them, Amen, amen, I say to you, Before Abraham was, 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.
And they took up stones to stone him; but Jeshu concealed himself, and went from the temple, and passed among them, and went.
