John 8
1 but, Jesus, went unto the Mount of Olives.
And Jesus went to 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 in the morning he came again to the temple; and all the people came to 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 forward a woman that was caught in adultery. And when they had placed her in the midst,
4 they say unto him—Teacher! this woman, hath been caught in the very act of committing adultery!
they say to him: Teacher, this woman was caught openly in the act of adultery.
5 Now, in the law, Moses, [unto us] gave command to stone, such as these. What, then, dost, thou, say?
And in the law of Moses, God hath commanded us to stone such persons. What therefore dost thou say?
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.
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 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;
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 and, again stooping down, he wrote in the ground.
And, having again stooped down, he 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, 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 And lifting himself up, Jesus said unto her—Woman, where are they? Hath, no one, condemned thee?
And when Jesus had straightened himself up, he said to the woman: Where are they? Doth no one condemn 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.
And she said: No man, Lord. And Jesus said: Neither do I condemn thee. Go thou, and henceforth 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.
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 unto him—Thou, concerning thyself, bearest witness: thy witness, is not true.
The Pharisees said to him: Thou bearest witness of thyself, thy testimony is not certain.
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.
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 Ye, according to the flesh, do judge: I, am judging no one.
Ye judge according to the flesh: I judge no one.
16 And, even if, I, am judging, my judging, is, genuine, —because, alone, am I not, but, I, and 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 And, in your own law, it is written, that, two men’s witness, is, true:
And in your law it is written, that the testimony of two persons is certain.
18 I, am the one bearing witness of myself, and the Father who sent me is bearing witness concerning me.
I am one: who bear witness of myself, and my Father who 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.
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 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 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 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.
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, were saying—Can it be that he will kill himself, that he saith, Whither, I, go, ye, cannot come?
The Jews said: Is he about to kill himself, that he should say, 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 to them: Ye are from below, 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 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 were saying unto him, therefore—Who art, thou? Jesus said unto them—First and foremost, even what I speak unto you.
The Jews said to him: Who art thou? Jesus said to them: Although I have begun to converse with you,
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 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 noted not that, as touching the Father, unto them, he was speaking.
And they did not know, 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.
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 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; and my Father hath not left me alone, because I do, at all times, that which pleaseth him.
30 As he was speaking these things, many, believed on him.
And when he had spoken these things, 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;
And Jesus said to those Jews who believed on him: If ye continue in my word, ye will be truly my disciples.
32 And ye shall know the truth, and, the truth, shall make you free.
And ye will know the truth; and the truth will 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 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, Verily, verily, I say unto you: Every one who committeth sin, is, a slave, [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 then, the Son, shall make you free, really free, shall ye be.
If therefore the Son shall make you free, ye will really be free men.
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 the children of Abraham; but ye seek to kill me, because ye do not acquiesce in my word.
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 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, 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 who hath told you the truth, which I have heard from God: 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.
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 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.
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 Wherefore, is it, that, my speech, ye do not understand? because ye cannot hear my word.
Why do ye not understand my speech? It is because ye cannot hear my speech.
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 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, as for me, because, the truth, I speak, ye do not believe me.
But me, because I speak 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 convicteth me of sin? And if I speak 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 God, heareth the words of God. Therefore ye do not hear, because ye are not of God.
48 The Jews answered, and said unto him—Do, we, not, well, say: Thou, art, a Samaritan, and hast 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, have not, a demon, but honour my Father: and, ye, dishonour me.
Jesus said to them: I have no demon: but I honor God; and ye contemn me.
50 But, I, seek not my glory: There is one who seeketh and judgeth.
But I seek not my own glory: there is one that seeketh it, 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 to you: He that keepeth my word, will 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)
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 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 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, that glorifieth me, —of whom, ye, say—He is, your 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 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.
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 Abraham, your father, exulted that he should see my day; and he saw, and rejoiced.
Abraham your father desired to see my day: and he saw it, and rejoiced.
57 The Jews, therefore, said unto him—Fifty years old, not yet art thou, and, Abraham, hast thou seen?
The Jews say to 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.
Jesus said to them: Verily, verily I say to you, That before Abraham existed, I was.
59 They took up stones, therefore, that they might cast at him; but, Jesus, was hidden, and went forth out of the temple.
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.
