< John 8 >

1 Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
ιησους δε επορευθη εις το ορος των ελαιων
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.
ορθρου δε παλιν παρεγενετο εις το ιερον και πας ο λαος ηρχετο προς αυτον και καθισας εδιδασκεν αυτους
3 Then the scribes and the Pharisees bring to Him a woman caught in adultery; and placing her in the center
αγουσιν δε οι γραμματεις και οι φαρισαιοι γυναικα επι μοιχεια κατειλημμενην και στησαντες αυτην εν μεσω
4 they say to Him: “Teacher, we found this woman committing adultery, in the very act.
λεγουσιν αυτω διδασκαλε αυτη η γυνη κατειληπται επ αυτοφωρω μοιχευομενη
5 Now in our law Moses commanded that such women are to be stoned; so what do you say?”
και εν τω νομω ημων μωυσης ενετειλατο τας τοιαυτας λιθαζειν συ ουν τι λεγεις
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.
τουτο δε ειπον εκπειραζοντες αυτον ινα σχωσιν κατηγοριαν κατ αυτου ο δε ιησους κατω κυψας τω δακτυλω εγραφεν εις την γην
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.”
ως δε επεμενον ερωτωντες αυτον ανεκυψεν και ειπεν αυτοις ο αναμαρτητος υμων πρωτος βαλετω λιθον επ αυτην
8 And stooping down again He continued writing on the ground.
και παλιν κατω κυψας εγραφεν εις την γην
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.
οι δε ακουσαντες εξηρχοντο εις καθ εις αρξαμενοι απο των πρεσβυτερων και κατελειφθη ο ιησους και η γυνη εν μεσω ουσα
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?”
ανακυψας δε ο ιησους ειπεν αυτη γυναι που εισιν ουδεις σε κατεκρινεν
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!”
η δε ειπεν ουδεις κυριε ειπεν δε ο ιησους ουδε εγω σε κατακρινω πορευου και απο του νυν μηκετι αμαρτανε
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.”
παλιν ουν αυτοις ο ιησους ελαλησεν λεγων εγω ειμι το φως του κοσμου ο ακολουθων εμοι ου μη περιπατηση εν τη σκοτια αλλ εξει το φως της ζωης
13 So the Pharisees said to Him, “You are testifying about yourself; your testimony is not valid.”
ειπον ουν αυτω οι φαρισαιοι συ περι σεαυτου μαρτυρεις η μαρτυρια σου ουκ εστιν αληθης
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.
απεκριθη ιησους και ειπεν αυτοις καν εγω μαρτυρω περι εμαυτου αληθης εστιν η μαρτυρια μου οτι οιδα ποθεν ηλθον και που υπαγω υμεις [ δε ] ουκ οιδατε ποθεν ερχομαι η που υπαγω
15 You are judging according to the flesh; I am not judging anyone.
υμεις κατα την σαρκα κρινετε εγω ου κρινω ουδενα
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.
και εαν κρινω δε εγω η κρισις η εμη αληθης εστιν οτι μονος ουκ ειμι αλλ εγω και ο πεμψας με πατηρ
17 It is written precisely in your law that the testimony of two men is valid:
και εν τω νομω δε τω υμετερω γεγραπται οτι δυο ανθρωπων η μαρτυρια αληθης εστιν
18 I am one testifying concerning myself and the Father who sent me testifies concerning me.”
εγω ειμι ο μαρτυρων περι εμαυτου και μαρτυρει περι εμου ο πεμψας με πατηρ
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.”
ελεγον ουν αυτω που εστιν ο πατηρ σου απεκριθη ιησους ουτε εμε οιδατε ουτε τον πατερα μου ει εμε ηδειτε και τον πατερα μου ηδειτε αν
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.
ταυτα τα ρηματα ελαλησεν ο ιησους εν τω γαζοφυλακιω διδασκων εν τω ιερω και ουδεις επιασεν αυτον οτι ουπω εληλυθει η ωρα αυτου
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.”
ειπεν ουν παλιν αυτοις ο ιησους εγω υπαγω και ζητησετε με και εν τη αμαρτια υμων αποθανεισθε οπου εγω υπαγω υμεις ου δυνασθε ελθειν
22 So the Jews said, “He won't kill himself, will he, since he says, ‘Where I am going you cannot come’?”
ελεγον ουν οι ιουδαιοι μητι αποκτενει εαυτον οτι λεγει οπου εγω υπαγω υμεις ου δυνασθε ελθειν
23 He said to them: “You are from below; I am from Above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.
και ειπεν αυτοις υμεις εκ των κατω εστε εγω εκ των ανω ειμι υμεις εκ του κοσμου τουτου εστε εγω ουκ ειμι εκ του κοσμου τουτου
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.”
ειπον ουν υμιν οτι αποθανεισθε εν ταις αμαρτιαις υμων εαν γαρ μη πιστευσητε οτι εγω ειμι αποθανεισθε εν ταις αμαρτιαις υμων
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.
ελεγον ουν αυτω συ τις ει και ειπεν αυτοις ο ιησους την αρχην ο τι και λαλω υμιν
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.”
πολλα εχω περι υμων λαλειν και κρινειν αλλ ο πεμψας με αληθης εστιν καγω α ηκουσα παρ αυτου ταυτα λεγω εις τον κοσμον
27 They did not understand that He was speaking to them about the Father.
ουκ εγνωσαν οτι τον πατερα αυτοις ελεγεν
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.
ειπεν ουν αυτοις ο ιησους οταν υψωσητε τον υιον του ανθρωπου τοτε γνωσεσθε οτι εγω ειμι και απ εμαυτου ποιω ουδεν αλλα καθως εδιδαξεν με ο πατηρ μου ταυτα λαλω
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.”
και ο πεμψας με μετ εμου εστιν ουκ αφηκεν με μονον ο πατηρ οτι εγω τα αρεστα αυτω ποιω παντοτε
30 While He was saying these things many believed into Him.
ταυτα αυτου λαλουντος πολλοι επιστευσαν εις αυτον
31 So Jesus said to those Jews who had believed Him: “If you abide in my word, you really are my disciples;
ελεγεν ουν ο ιησους προς τους πεπιστευκοτας αυτω ιουδαιους εαν υμεις μεινητε εν τω λογω τω εμω αληθως μαθηται μου εστε
32 and you will know the Truth, and the Truth will make you free.”
και γνωσεσθε την αληθειαν και η αληθεια ελευθερωσει υμας
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’?”
απεκριθησαν αυτω σπερμα αβρααμ εσμεν και ουδενι δεδουλευκαμεν πωποτε πως συ λεγεις οτι ελευθεροι γενησεσθε
34 Jesus answered them: “I tell you most assuredly that everyone committing sin is a slave of sin.
απεκριθη αυτοις ο ιησους αμην αμην λεγω υμιν οτι πας ο ποιων την αμαρτιαν δουλος εστιν της αμαρτιας
35 Now the slave does not remain in the household forever; the son does remain forever. (aiōn g165)
ο δε δουλος ου μενει εν τη οικια εις τον αιωνα ο υιος μενει εις τον αιωνα (aiōn g165)
36 Therefore, if the Son should make you free, you really will be free.
εαν ουν ο υιος υμας ελευθερωση οντως ελευθεροι εσεσθε
37 I know that you are descendants of Abraham, but you are wanting to kill me because my word finds no place in you.
οιδα οτι σπερμα αβρααμ εστε αλλα ζητειτε με αποκτειναι οτι ο λογος ο εμος ου χωρει εν υμιν
38 On my part, I speak what I have observed with my Father, while on your part you do what you have observed with your father.”
εγω ο εωρακα παρα τω πατρι μου λαλω και υμεις ουν ο εωρακατε παρα τω πατρι υμων ποιειτε
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;
απεκριθησαν και ειπον αυτω ο πατηρ ημων αβρααμ εστιν λεγει αυτοις ο ιησους ει τεκνα του αβρααμ ητε τα εργα του αβρααμ εποιειτε
40 but now you are wanting to kill me, a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. This sort of thing Abraham did not do!
νυν δε ζητειτε με αποκτειναι ανθρωπον ος την αληθειαν υμιν λελαληκα ην ηκουσα παρα του θεου τουτο αβρααμ ουκ εποιησεν
41 You do the works of your father.” Then they said to Him, “We were not born of fornication; we have one Father—God.”
υμεις ποιειτε τα εργα του πατρος υμων ειπον ουν αυτω ημεις εκ πορνειας ου γεγεννημεθα ενα πατερα εχομεν τον θεον
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.
ειπεν ουν αυτοις ο ιησους ει ο θεος πατηρ υμων ην ηγαπατε αν εμε εγω γαρ εκ του θεου εξηλθον και ηκω ουδε γαρ απ εμαυτου εληλυθα αλλ εκεινος με απεστειλεν
43 Why don't you understand what I say?—because you are not able to really hear my word.
διατι την λαλιαν την εμην ου γινωσκετε οτι ου δυνασθε ακουειν τον λογον τον εμον
44 You are of your father the devil, and it is the desires of your father that you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning and has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks the lie he speaks from his own things, because he is a liar and the father of lying.
υμεις εκ του πατρος του διαβολου εστε και τας επιθυμιας του πατρος υμων θελετε ποιειν εκεινος ανθρωποκτονος ην απ αρχης και εν τη αληθεια ουχ εστηκεν οτι ουκ εστιν αληθεια εν αυτω οταν λαλη το ψευδος εκ των ιδιων λαλει οτι ψευστης εστιν και ο πατηρ αυτου
45 But since I speak the truth you do not believe me.
εγω δε οτι την αληθειαν λεγω ου πιστευετε μοι
46 Which of you convicts me of sin? So if I speak the truth, why do you not believe me?
τις εξ υμων ελεγχει με περι αμαρτιας ει δε αληθειαν λεγω διατι υμεις ου πιστευετε μοι
47 The one who is of God hears God's words; that is why you do not hear, because you are not of God.”
ο ων εκ του θεου τα ρηματα του θεου ακουει δια τουτο υμεις ουκ ακουετε οτι εκ του θεου ουκ εστε
48 So the Jews answered and said to Him, “We say that you are a Samaritan and have a demon—are we wrong?”
απεκριθησαν ουν οι ιουδαιοι και ειπον αυτω ου καλως λεγομεν ημεις οτι σαμαρειτης ει συ και δαιμονιον εχεις
49 Jesus answered: “I do not have a demon; rather, I honor my Father, while you dishonor me.
απεκριθη ιησους εγω δαιμονιον ουκ εχω αλλα τιμω τον πατερα μου και υμεις ατιμαζετε με
50 Yet I do not seek my glory; there is One who seeks and judges.
εγω δε ου ζητω την δοξαν μου εστιν ο ζητων και κρινων
51 Most assuredly I say to you, if anyone should keep my word he will never ever see death.” (aiōn g165)
αμην αμην λεγω υμιν εαν τις τον λογον τον εμον τηρηση θανατον ου μη θεωρηση εις τον αιωνα (aiōn g165)
52 So the Jews said to Him: “Now we know that you have a demon! Abraham died and so did the prophets; yet you say, ‘If anyone should keep my word he will never ever taste death’! (aiōn g165)
ειπον ουν αυτω οι ιουδαιοι νυν εγνωκαμεν οτι δαιμονιον εχεις αβρααμ απεθανεν και οι προφηται και συ λεγεις εαν τις τον λογον μου τηρηση ου μη γευσηται θανατου εις τον αιωνα (aiōn g165)
53 Surely you aren't greater than our father Abraham, who died? And the prophets are dead. Who do you make yourself out to be?”
μη συ μειζων ει του πατρος ημων αβρααμ οστις απεθανεν και οι προφηται απεθανον τινα σεαυτον συ ποιεις
54 Jesus answered: “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say, ‘He is our God.’
απεκριθη ιησους εαν εγω δοξαζω εμαυτον η δοξα μου ουδεν εστιν εστιν ο πατηρ μου ο δοξαζων με ον υμεις λεγετε οτι θεος υμων εστιν
55 Yet you have not known Him, but I do know Him. And if I should say that I do not know Him I would be a liar just like you (pl); but I do know Him and I keep His word.
και ουκ εγνωκατε αυτον εγω δε οιδα αυτον και εαν ειπω οτι ουκ οιδα αυτον εσομαι ομοιος υμων ψευστης αλλ οιδα αυτον και τον λογον αυτου τηρω
56 Your father Abraham was overjoyed to see my day; yes, he saw it and rejoiced.”
αβρααμ ο πατηρ υμων ηγαλλιασατο ινα ιδη την ημεραν την εμην και ειδεν και εχαρη
57 So the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and you have seen Abraham?!”
ειπον ουν οι ιουδαιοι προς αυτον πεντηκοντα ετη ουπω εχεις και αβρααμ εωρακας
58 Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly I say to you, before Abraham came to be, I AM!”
ειπεν αυτοις ο ιησους αμην αμην λεγω υμιν πριν αβρααμ γενεσθαι εγω ειμι
59 Then they picked up stones to throw at Him; but Jesus was concealed and went out of the temple, going through the middle of them; yes, that is how He got away!
ηραν ουν λιθους ινα βαλωσιν επ αυτον ιησους δε εκρυβη και εξηλθεν εκ του ιερου διελθων δια μεσου αυτων και παρηγεν ουτως
