< John 8 >

1 but, Jesus, went unto the Mount of Olives.
Yahushua went unto the mount of Olives.
2 And, early in the morning, again, came he into the temple, and all the people were coming unto him; and, sitting down, he began to teach them.
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 the Pharisees bring a woman, caught, in adultery; and, setting her in the midst,
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—Teacher! this woman, hath been caught in the very act of committing adultery!
They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
5 Now, in the law, Moses, [unto us] gave command to stone, such as these. What, then, dost, thou, say?
Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
6 [This, however, they were saying, by way of testing him, —that they might have whereof to accuse him.] But, Jesus, stooping down, with his finger, wrote in the ground.
This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Yahushua stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
7 When, however, they still continued questioning him, he lifted himself up and said [unto them]—He of you, that is without sin, let him first cast at her a stone;
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 stooping down, he wrote in the ground.
And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
9 And, they who heard, began to go out, one by one, beginning from the elders, —and he was left, alone; the woman also, being, in the midst.
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 Yahushua was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
10 And lifting himself up, Jesus said unto her—Woman, where are they? Hath, no one, condemned thee?
When Yahushua 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 And, she, said—No one, Sir! And Jesus said—Neither do, I, condemn thee, —be going thy way: Henceforth, be sinning, no more.
She said, No man, Sir. And Yahushua said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
12 Again, therefore, unto them, spake Jesus, saying—I, am the light of the world: He that followeth me, shall in nowise walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
Then spake Yahushua 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.
13 The Pharisees, therefore, said unto him—Thou, concerning thyself, bearest witness: thy witness, is not true.
The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true.
14 Jesus answered, and said unto them—Even though, I, bear witness concerning myself, true, is my witness, because I know whence I came, and whither I go; but, ye, know not whence I come, and whither I go.
Yahushua 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.
15 Ye, according to the flesh, do judge: I, am judging no one.
Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.
16 And, even if, I, am judging, my judging, is, genuine, —because, alone, am I not, but, I, and the Father who sent me;
And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
17 And, in your own law, it is written, that, two men’s witness, is, true:
It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.
18 I, am the one bearing witness of myself, and the Father who sent me is bearing witness concerning me.
I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.
19 They were saying unto him, therefore—Where, is thy father? Jesus answered—Neither, me, do ye know, nor yet my Father: If, me, ye had known, my Father also, had ye known.
Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Yahushua answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.
20 These sayings, spake he in the treasury, teaching in the temple, and yet, no one, seized him, because, not yet, had come his hour.
These words spake Yahushua in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.
21 He said unto them again, therefore—I, go, and ye shall seek me, —and yet, in your sin, shall ye die: Whither, I, go, ye, cannot come.
Then said Yahushua again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.
22 The Jews, therefore, were saying—Can it be that he will kill himself, that he saith, Whither, I, go, ye, cannot come?
Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.
23 And he was saying unto them—Ye, are, of the realms below, I, am, of the realms above: Ye, are, of this world, I, am not of this world.
And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
24 Therefore said I unto you, Ye shall die in your sins: For, if ye believe not that, I, am he, ye shall die in your sins.
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.
25 They were saying unto him, therefore—Who art, thou? Jesus said unto them—First and foremost, even what I speak unto you.
Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Yahushua saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.
26 Many things, have I, concerning you, to speak, and to judge; but, he who sent me, is, true, and, I, what things I heard from him, the same, speak I unto the world.
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.
27 They noted not that, as touching the Father, unto them, he was speaking.
They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.
28 Jesus, therefore, said—Whensoever ye shall lift up the Son of Man, then, shall ye know, that, I, am he, and, of myself, am doing, nothing; but, just as the Father taught me, the same things, am I speaking.
Then said Yahushua 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.
29 And, he that sent me, is, with me: He hath not left me, alone. Because, I, the things that please him, ever do.
And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.
30 As he was speaking these things, many, believed on him.
As he spake these words, many believed on him.
31 Jesus was saying, therefore, unto the Jews who had believed on him—If, ye, abide in my word, of a truth, my disciples, ye are;
Then said Yahushua to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
32 And ye shall know the truth, and, the truth, shall make you free.
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
33 They made answer unto him—Seed of Abraham, are we, and, unto no one, have been brought into bondage, at any time: How sayest, thou, Free, shall ye be made?
They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you: Every one who committeth sin, is, a slave, [of sin: ]
Yahushua answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
35 Now, the slave, doth not abide in the house, evermore. The Son, abideth, evermore. (aiōn g165)
And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever. (aiōn g165)
36 If then, the Son, shall make you free, really free, shall ye be.
If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
37 I know that ye are, seed of Abraham; but ye are seeking to kill me, because, my word, findeth no place in you.
I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
38 What things, I, have seen with the Father, I am speaking; Ye, also, then, what things ye have heard from your father, are doing.—
I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.
39 They answered and said unto him—Our father, is, Abraham. Jesus saith unto them—If, children of Abraham, ye are, the works of Abraham, are ye doing.
They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Yahushua saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
40 But, now, ye are seeking, to kill me, —A man who, the truth, unto you, hath spoken, which I have heard from God: this, Abraham, did not.
But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of YHWH: this did not Abraham.
41 Ye, are doing the works of your father. They said unto him—We, of fornication, were not born: One father, have we—God.
Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even Elohim.
42 Jesus said unto them—If, God, had been your father, ye had been loving me, for, I, from God, came forth, and am here; for, not even of myself, have I come, but, he, sent me forth.
Yahushua said unto them, If Elohim were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from Elohim; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
43 Wherefore, is it, that, my speech, ye do not understand? because ye cannot hear my word.
Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.
44 Ye, are, of your father—the adversary, and, the covetings of your father, ye choose to be doing. He, was, a murderer, from the beginning, and, in the truth, he stood not; because truth is not in him: Whensoever he speaketh falsehood, of his own, he speaketh; because, false, he is, and, the father of it.
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.
45 But, as for me, because, the truth, I speak, ye do not believe me.
And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
46 Which of you convicteth me of sin? If, truth, I speak, wherefore, do, ye, not believe me?
Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?
47 He that is of God, heareth, the sayings of God; therefore, do, ye, not hear, because, of God, ye are not.
He that is of YHWH heareth YHWH 's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of YHWH.
48 The Jews answered, and said unto him—Do, we, not, well, say: Thou, art, a Samaritan, and hast a demon?
Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?
49 Jesus answered—I, have not, a demon, but honour my Father: and, ye, dishonour me.
Yahushua answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me.
50 But, I, seek not my glory: There is one who seeketh and judgeth.
And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
51 Verily, verily, I say unto you: If anyone shall keep, my word, death, shall he not see, unto times age-abiding. (aiōn g165)
Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death. (aiōn g165)
52 The Jews said unto him—Now, we know that, a demon, thou hast: —Abraham, died, and, the prophets, and yet, thou, sayest: If anyone shall keep, my word, in nowise shall he taste of death, unto times age-abiding. (aiōn g165)
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)
53 Surely, thou, art not, greater, than our father Abraham, —who, indeed, died? and, the prophets, died: —Whom, makest thou thyself?
Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?
54 Jesus answered—If, I, glorify myself, my glory, is nothing: It is, my Father, that glorifieth me, —of whom, ye, say—He is, your God!
Yahushua answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your Elohim:
55 And yet ye have not come to know him; but, I, do know him: If I say, I know him not, I shall be like you—false; but I know him, and, his word, am I keeping.
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.
56 Abraham, your father, exulted that he should see my day; and he saw, and rejoiced.
Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
57 The Jews, therefore, said unto him—Fifty years old, not yet art thou, and, Abraham, hast thou seen?
Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
58 Jesus said unto them—Verily, verily, I say unto you: Before, Abraham, came into existence, I, am.
Yahushua said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
59 They took up stones, therefore, that they might cast at him; but, Jesus, was hidden, and went forth out of the temple.
Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Yahushua hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
