< John 8 >
1 But Jesus went to the mount of Olives.
But Yeshua [Salvation] went to the Mount of Olives.
2 And at early morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him. And having sat down, he taught them.
Now very early in the morning (of the seventh month Ethanim ·Ever-flowing durable stream (in Hebrew), 7· or Tishrei ·[Beginning (in Babylonian)]· 22nd day)), he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him. He sat down, and taught them. (This day is called Sh'mini Atrzeret ·Eighth day Assembly·.)
3 And the scholars and the Pharisees bring to him a woman taken in adultery. And having stood her in the midst,
The Torah-Teachers and the Pharisees [Separated] brought a woman taken in moicheia ·adultery· and set her in the midst of Yeshua [Salvation].
4 tempting, they say to him, Teacher, we found this woman committing adultery, in the act.
They told him, “Rabbi ·Teacher·, we found this woman moicheuo ·committing adultery·, in the very act.
5 Now in the law, Moses commanded us such women are to be stoned. What therefore do thou say about her?
Now in our Torah ·Teaching·, Moses [Drawn out] enjoined us that such a woman be stoned to death. What then do you say about her?”
6 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.
They said this testing him, that they might have something to accuse him of. But Yeshua [Salvation] stooped down, and wrote on the ground with his finger.
7 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.
But when they continued asking him, he looked up and said to them, “He who is set apart from sin ·devoted to making the mark and taking share in the goal· among you, let him throw the first stone at her.”
8 And again having stooped down, he wrote on the ground.
Again he stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.
9 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.
They, when they heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning from the oldest, even to the last. Yeshua [Salvation] was left alone with the woman where she was, in the middle.
10 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?
Yeshua [Salvation], standing up, saw her and said, “Woman, where are your accusers? Did no one condemn you?”
11 And she said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said to her, Neither do I condemn thee. Go, and henceforth sin no more.
She said, “No one, Lord.” Yeshua [Salvation] said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go your way. From now on, sin ·miss the mark and be without share· no more.”
12 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.
Again, therefore, Yeshua [Salvation] spoke to them, saying, “Ena Na [I AM (the Living God)], the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.”
13 The Pharisees therefore said to him, Thou testify about thyself. Thy testimony is not valid.
The Pharisees [Separated] therefore said to him, “You testify about yourself. Your testimony is not valid.”
14 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.
Yeshua [Salvation] 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.
15 Ye judge according to the flesh. I judge no man.
You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.
16 But even if I judge, my judgment is valid, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me.
Even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for I am not alone, but I am with Abba ·Father familiar, Dear Dad· who sent me.
17 And also it is written in your law that the testimony of two men is valid.
It’s also written in your Torah ·Teaching· that the testimony of two people is valid.
18 I am he who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me.
Ena Na [I AM (the Living God)] that testifies about myself, and Abba ·Father familiar, Dear Dad· who sent me testifies about me.”
19 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.
They said therefore to him, “Where is your Abba Father?” Yeshua [Salvation] answered, “You know neither me, nor 'Avi ·my Father·. If you knew me, you would know 'Avi ·my Father· also.”
20 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.
Yeshua [Salvation] spoke these words in the treasury, as he taught in the temple. Yet no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.
21 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.
Yeshua [Salvation] said therefore again to them, “I am going away, and you will seek me, and you will die in your abstract sins ·miss the marks·. Where I go, you can’t come.”
22 The Jews therefore said, Will he kill himself, because he says, Where I go, ye cannot come?
The Jews [Praisers] therefore said, “Will he kill himself, that he says, ‘Where I am going, you can’t come’?”
23 And he said to them, Ye are from below, I am from above. Ye are of this world, I am not of this world.
He said to them, “You are from beneath. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world.
24 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.
I said therefore to you that you will die in your abstract sins ·miss the marks·; for unless you trust that Ena Na [I AM (the Living God)], you will die in your abstract sins ·miss the marks·.”
25 They said therefore to him, Who are thou? And Jesus said to them, The beginning, something that I am even telling you.
They said therefore to him, “Who are you?” Yeshua [Salvation] 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 I speak to the world these things that I heard from him.
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.”
27 They did not understand that he spoke the Father to them.
They didn’t understand that he spoke to them about haAbba ·the Father·.
28 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.
Yeshua [Salvation] therefore said to them, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that Ena Na [I AM (the Living God)], and I do nothing of myself, but as 'Avi ·my Father· taught me, I say these things.
29 And he who sent me is with me. The Father has not left me alone, because I always do things pleasing to him.
He who sent me is with me. Abba ·Father familiar, Dear Dad· has not left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him.”
30 As he spoke these things of him, many believed in him.
As he spoke these things, many trusted in him.
31 Jesus therefore said to those Jews who believed him, If ye remain in my word, ye are truly my disciples,
Yeshua [Salvation] therefore said to those Jews [Praisers] who had trusted him, “If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.
32 and ye will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.
You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”
33 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?
They answered him, “We are Abraham [Father of a multitude]’s offspring, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How do you say, ‘You will be made free’?”
34 Jesus answered them, Truly, truly, I say to you, that every man who does the sin is a bondman of the sin.
Yeshua [Salvation] answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, everyone who commits abstract sin ·miss the mark· is the bond-servant of abstract sin ·miss the mark·.
35 And the bondman does not remain in the house into the age. The Son remains into the age. (aiōn )
A bond-servant does not live in the house forever. A son remains forever. (aiōn )
36 If therefore the Son should make you free, ye will truly be free.
If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.
37 I know that ye are Abraham's seed, yet ye seek to kill me, because my word has no place in you.
I know that you are Abraham [Father of a multitude]’s offspring, yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you.
38 I speak what I have seen from my Father, and ye therefore do what ye have seen from your father.
I say the things which I have seen with 'Avi ·my Father·; and you also do the things which you have seen with 'Avikah ·your Father·.”
39 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.
They answered him, “Abraham [Father of a multitude] is Avinu ·our Father·.” Yeshua [Salvation] said to them, “If you were Abraham [Father of a multitude]’s children, you would do the works of Abraham [Father of a multitude].
40 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.
But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God. Abraham [Father of a multitude] didn’t do this.
41 Ye do the works of your father. They said therefore to him, We were not begotten from fornication. We have one Father, God.
You do the works of your Abba ·Father familiar, Dear Dad·.” They said to him, “We were not born of porhneia ·sexual immorality·; we have one Abba Father, God.”
42 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.
Therefore Yeshua [Salvation] said to them, “If God were your Abba ·Father familiar, Dear Dad·, you would have agapao ·total devotion love· towards me, for I came out and have come from God. For I haven’t come of myself, but he sent me.
43 Why do ye not understand my speech? Because ye cannot hear my word.
Why don’t you understand my speech? Because you can’t hear my word.
44 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.
You are of your Abba father, the devil [Accuser], and you want to do the epithumia ·lusts, desires· of 'Avikah ·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 its Abba ·Father familiar, Dear Dad·.
45 And I, because I speak the truth, ye do not believe me.
But because I tell the truth, you don’t trust me.
46 Which of you convicts me about sin? And if I speak truth, why do ye not believe me?
Which of you convicts me of abstract sin ·miss the mark·? If I tell the truth, why do you not trust me?
47 He who is of God hears the sayings of God. Because of this ye do not hear, because ye are not of God.
He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you don’t hear, because you are not of God.”
48 Therefore the Jews answered and said to him, Do we not say well that thou are a Samaritan, and have a demon?
Then the Jews [Praisers] answered him, “Don’t we say well that you are a Samaritan [person from Watch-mountain], and have a demon?”
49 Jesus answered, I have no demon, but I honor my Father, and ye dishonor me.
Yeshua [Salvation] answered, “I don’t have a demon, but I honor 'Avi ·my Father·, and you dishonor me.
50 But I seek not my own glory. He is who seeks and judges.
But I don’t seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and judges.
51 Truly, truly, I say to you, if any man keeps my word, he will, no, not see death, into the age. (aiōn )
Most certainly, I tell you, if a person keeps my word, he will never see death.” (aiōn )
52 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 )
Then the Jews [Praisers] said to him, “Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham [Father of a multitude] died, and the prophets; and you say, ‘If a man keeps my word, he will never taste of death.’ (aiōn )
53 Are thou greater than our father Abraham who died? And the prophets died. Who do thou make thyself?
Are you greater than Abraham [Father of a multitude] Avinu ·our Father·, who died? The prophets died. Who do you make yourself out to be?”
54 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.
Yeshua [Salvation] answered, “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is 'Avi ·my Father· who glorifies me, of whom you say that he is our God.
55 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.
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.
56 Your father Abraham rejoiced that he could see my day, and he saw it, and was glad.
'Avikah ·your Father· Abraham [Father of a multitude] rejoiced to see my day. He saw it, and was glad.”
57 The Jews therefore said to him, Thou have not yet fifty years, and thou have seen Abraham?
The Jews [Praisers] therefore said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham [Father of a multitude]?”
58 Jesus said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham came to be, I am.
Yeshua [Salvation] said to them, “Most certainly, I tell you, before Abraham [Father of a multitude] came into existence, Ena Na [I AM (the Living God)].”
59 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.
Therefore they took up stones to throw at him, but Yeshua [Salvation] was hidden, and went out of the temple, having gone through the middle of them, and so passed by.
