John 8
1 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
And 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 in the morning he came again to the temple; and all the people came to him, and he sat down and taught them.
3 The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery. Having set her in the middle,
And the Scribes and Pharisees brought forward a woman that was caught in adultery. And when they had placed her in the midst,
4 they told him, “Teacher, we found this woman in adultery, in the very act.
they say to him: Teacher, this woman was caught openly in the act of adultery.
5 Now in our law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. What then do you say about her?”
And in the law of Moses, God hath commanded us to stone such persons. What therefore dost thou say?
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.
And this they said, tempting him, so that they might have ground to accuse him. But Jesus having stooped down, was writing on the ground.
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 as they continued asking him, he straightened himself up, and said to them: Whoever among you is without sin, let him first cast a stone at her.
8 Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger.
And, having again 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, when they heard it, went out one by one, beginning with the older; and the woman was left, alone where she had stood in the midst.
10 Jesus, standing up, saw her and said, “Woman, where are your accusers? Did no one condemn you?”
And when Jesus had straightened himself up, he said to the woman: Where are they? Doth no one 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: Neither do I condemn thee. Go thou, 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.”
And Jesus again conversed with them, and said: I am the light of the world: he that cometh to me, will not walk in darkness; but will find for himself the light of life.
13 The Pharisees therefore said to him, “You testify about yourself. Your testimony is not valid.”
The Pharisees said to him: Thou bearest witness of thyself, thy testimony is not certain.
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.
Jesus answered and said to them: Although I bear witness of myself, my testimony is certain, because I know whence I came, and whither I go. But ye do not know, whence I came, and whither I go.
15 You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.
Ye judge according to the flesh: I judge no one.
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 certain, 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.
And in your law it is written, that the testimony of two persons is certain.
18 I am one who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me.”
I am one: who bear witness of myself, and my Father who sent me, beareth witness 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? Jesus replied, and said to them: Ye neither know me nor my Father. If ye had known me, ye would also have known my Father.
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 Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no one laid hands on him, because his hour was 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 can’t come.”
Again Jesus said to them: I go away, and ye will seek me, and will die in your sins. And whither I go, ye cannot come.
22 The Jews therefore said, “Will he kill himself, because he says, ‘Where I am going, you can’t come’?”
The Jews said: Is he about to kill himself, that he should say, Whither 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 to you, That ye will die in your sins; for if ye believe not 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.
The Jews said to him: Who art thou? Jesus said to them: Although I have begun to converse with 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 yet many things to say and to Judge concerning you. But he that sent me is true: and the things which I have heard from him, them I speak in the world.
27 They didn’t understand that he spoke to them about the Father.
And they did not know, that he spake to them of the Father.
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 said to them again: When ye shall have lifted up the Son of man, then will ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing from my own pleasure, but as my Father 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 that sent me, is with me; and my Father hath not left me alone, because I do, at all times, that which pleaseth him.
30 As he spoke these things, many believed in him.
And when he had spoken these things, 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 Jesus said to those Jews who believed on him: If ye continue in my word, ye will be 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 say to him: We are the seed of Abraham, and never were in servitude to any man; and how sayest thou, Ye will be freemen?
34 Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the bondservant of sin.
Jesus said to them: Verily, verily, I say to you, That whoever committeth sin, is the servant of sin.
And a servant abideth not for ever in the house; but the Son abideth for ever. (aiōn g165)
36 If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.
If therefore the Son shall make you free, ye will really be free men.
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 the children of Abraham; but ye seek to kill me, because ye do not acquiesce in my word.
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 that which I have seen with my Father, and ye do that which ye have seen with 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: Our father is Abraham. Jesus said to them: If ye were children of Abraham, 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 didn’t do this.
But now ye seek to kill me, a man who hath told you the truth, which I have heard from God: this did not Abraham.
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 ye do the works of your father. They say to him: We are not the offspring of whoredom; 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 haven’t come of myself, but he sent me.
Jesus said to them: If God were your Father, ye would love me; for I proceeded and came from God: I did not come of my own accord, but he sent me.
43 Why don’t you understand my speech? Because you can’t hear my word.
Why do ye not understand my speech? It is because ye cannot hear my speech.
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.
Ye are of your father, the calumniator; and the lust of your father ye are disposed to do. He was from the beginning a manslayer, and abode not in the truth; for the truth is not in him, and when he speaketh a lie he speaketh from himself, for he is a liar, and the father of it.
45 But because I tell the truth, you don’t believe me.
But me, because I speak the truth, ye believe me not.
46 Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?
Which of you convicteth me of sin? And if I speak the truth, why do ye 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 that is of God, heareth the words of God. Therefore ye do not hear, because ye are not of God.
48 Then the Jews answered him, “Don’t we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?”
The Jews answered, and said to him: Did we not well say, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?
49 Jesus answered, “I don’t have a demon, but I honor my Father and you dishonor me.
Jesus said to them: I have no demon: but I honor God; and ye contemn me.
50 But I don’t seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and judges.
But I seek not my own glory: there is one that seeketh it, and judgeth.
Verily, verily, I say to you: He that keepeth my word, will never see death. (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 Jews say to him: Now we know, that thou hast a demon. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; yet thou sayest: He that keepeth my word, will never taste death. (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, or than the prophets who died? What dost 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 said to them: If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father that glorifieth me, of whom ye say, He is our 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.
And ye know him not. But I know him; and if I should say, I know him not, I should be a liar, like you: but I do know him, and I observe his word.
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 it, and rejoiced.
57 The Jews therefore said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old! Have you seen Abraham?”
The Jews say to him: Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
58 Jesus said to them, “Most certainly, I tell you, before Abraham came into existence, I AM.”
Jesus said to them: Verily, verily I say to you, That before Abraham existed, I was.
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 Jesus concealed himself, and went out of the temple, and passed along among them, and went away.
