2 And early in the morning he came G2064 again πάλιν palin G3825 into the temple , and all the people λαὸς laos G2992 came G2064 unto him ; and he sat G2523 down καθίσας kathisas G2523 , and taught ἐδίδασκεν edidasken G1321 them . 3 And the scribes G1122 and the Pharisees Φαρισαῖοι Pharisaioi G5330 bring ἄγουσιν agousin G71 a woman γυναῖκα gunaika G1135 taken in adultery G3430 ; and having set στήσαντες stēsantes G2476 her in the midst μέσῳ mesō G3319 , 4 they say λέγουσιν legousin G3004 unto him , Teacher διδάσκαλε, didaskale G1320 , this woman γυνὴ gunē G1135 hath been taken in adultery μοιχευομένη· moicheuomenē G3431 , in the very act. 5 Now δὲ de G1161 in the law νόμῳ nomō G3551 Moses Μωϋσῆς Mōusēs G3475 commanded ἐνετείλατο eneteilato G1781 us to stone such τοιαύτας toiautas G5108 : what then G3767 sayest thou of her? 6 And this they said ἔλεγον elegon G3004 , trying him , that they might have whereof to accuse κατηγορεῖν katēgorein G2723 him . But Jesus Ἰησοῦς Iēsous G2424 stooped κύψας kupsas G2955 down κάτω katō G2736 , and with his finger δακτύλῳ daktulō G1147 wrote G1125 on the ground γῆν. gēn G1093 . 7 But when G5613 they continued G1961 asking ἐρωτῶντες erōtōntes G2065 him , he lifted up himself , and said G3004 unto them , He that is without sin among you , let him first πρῶτος prōtos G4413 cast βαλέτω baletō G906 a stone λίθον· lithon G3037 at her . 11 And she said G3004 , No man , Lord G2962 . And Jesus Ἰησοῦς, Iēsous G2424 said G3004 , Neither do I condemn κατακρίνω· katakrinō G2632 thee: go πορεύου poreuou G4198 thy way ; from henceforth sin ἁμάρτανε.¶]] hamartane G264 no more μηκέτι mēketi G3371 .] 12 Again Πάλιν Palin G3825 therefore οὖν oun G3767 Jesus Ἰησοῦς Iēsous G2424 spake unto them , saying λέγων· legōn G3004 , I am G1510 the light φῶς phōs G5457 of the world κόσμου. kosmou G2889 : he that followeth me shall not walk περιπατήσῃ peripatēsē G4043 in the darkness σκοτίᾳ skotia G4653 , but shall have the light φῶς phōs G5457 of life ζωῆς.¶ zōēs G2222 . 13 The Pharisees Φαρισαῖοι· Pharisaioi G5330 therefore οὖν oun G3767 said G3004 unto him , Thou bearest witness μαρτυρεῖς· martureis G3140 of thyself; thy witness G3140 is G1510 not true ἀληθής.¶ alēthēs G227 . 18 I am G1510 he that beareth witness μαρτυρῶν marturōn G3140 of myself , and the Father πατήρ. patēr G3962 that sent G3992 me beareth witness μαρτυρεῖ marturei G3140 of me . 19 They said ἔλεγον elegon G3004 therefore οὖν oun G3767 unto him , Where ποῦ pou G4226 is G1510 thy Father πατήρ patēr G3962 ? Jesus Ἰησοῦς· Iēsous G2424 answered Ἀπεκρίθη Apekrithē G611 , Ye know neither me , nor my Father πατέρα patera G3962 : if ye knew me , ye would know my Father πατέρα patera G3962 also καὶ kai G2532 . 20 These words spake he in the treasury γαζοφυλακίῳ gazophulakiō G1049 , as he taught διδάσκων didaskōn G1321 in the temple : and no man G3778 took him ; because his hour ὥρα hōra G5610 was not yet come ἐληλύθει elēluthei G2064 . 21 He said G3004 therefore G3767 again πάλιν palin G3825 unto them , I go G5217 away ὑπάγω, hupagō G5217 , and ye shall seek ζητήσετέ zētēsete G2212 me , and shall die ἀποθανεῖσθε· apothaneisthe G599 in your sin ἁμαρτίᾳ hamartia G266 : whither I go ὑπάγω hupagō G5217 , ye cannot come ἐλθεῖν. elthein G2064 . 22 The Jews Ἰουδαῖοι· Ioudaioi G2453 therefore οὖν oun G3767 said G3004 , Will he kill ἀποκτενεῖ apoktenei G615 himself , that he saith, Whither I go ὑπάγω hupagō G5217 , ye cannot come ἐλθεῖν; elthein G2064 ? 24 I said G3004 therefore οὖν oun G3767 unto you , that ye shall die ἀποθανεῖσθε apothaneisthe G599 in your sins ἁμαρτίαις hamartiais G266 : for except ye believe πιστεύσητε pisteusēte G4100 that I am G1510 he , ye shall die ἀποθανεῖσθε apothaneisthe G599 in your sins ἁμαρτίαις hamartiais G266 . 27 They perceived not that he spake to them of the Father πατέρα patera G3962 . 32 and ye shall know γνώσεσθε gnōsesthe G1097 the truth ἀλήθειαν, alētheian G225 , and the truth ἀλήθεια alētheia G225 shall make you free ἐλευθερώσει eleutherōsei G1659 . 33 They answered ἀπεκρίθησαν apekrithēsan G611 unto him , We are G1510 Abraham’s seed σπέρμα sperma G4690 , and have never yet been G1510 in bondage to any man : how πῶς pōs G4459 sayest thou, Ye shall be G1510 made free ἐλεύθεροι eleutheroi G1658 ? 34 Jesus Ἰησοῦς· Iēsous G2424 answered ἀπεκρίθη apekrithē G611 them , Verily, verily, I say λέγω legō G3004 unto you , Every one G3588 that committeth sin ἁμαρτίαν, hamartian G266 is G1510 the bondservant of sin ἁμαρτίας. hamartias G266 . 35 And the bondservant abideth not in the house οἰκίᾳ oikia G3614 for ever : the son υἱὸς huios G5207 abideth for ever . 37 I know that ye are G1510 Abraham’s seed σπέρμα sperma G4690 ; yet G235 ye seek ζητεῖτέ zēteite G2212 to kill ἀποκτεῖναι, apokteinai G615 me , because my word λόγος logos G3056 hath not free course in you . 40 But now G1161 ye seek ζητεῖτέ zēteite G2212 to kill ἀποκτεῖναι, apokteinai G615 me , a man ἄνθρωπον anthrōpon G444 that hath told you the truth ἀλήθειαν alētheian G225 , which I heard G191 from God θεοῦ· theou G2316 : this did not Abraham Ἀβραὰμ Abraam G11 . 43 Why τί ti G5101 do ye not understand γινώσκετε; ginōskete G1097 my speech G3056 ? Even because ye cannot hear ἀκούειν akouein G191 my word λόγον logon G3056 . 44 Ye are G1510 of your father πατρὸς patros G3962 the devil διαβόλου diabolou G1228 , and the lusts G1939 of your father πατρὸς patros G3962 it is G1510 your will to do . He was G1510 a murderer ἀνθρωποκτόνος anthrōpoktonos G443 from the beginning , and standeth not in the truth ἀληθείᾳ alētheia G225 , because there is G1510 no truth ἀλήθεια alētheia G225 in him . When G3752 he speaketh a lie G5579 , he speaketh of his own ἰδίων idiōn G2398 : for he is G1510 a liar ψεύστης pseustēs G5583 , and the father πατὴρ patēr G3962 thereof. 45 But because I say G3004 the truth ἀλήθειαν alētheian G225 , ye believe πιστεύετέ pisteuete G4100 me not . 46 Which of you convicteth me of sin ἁμαρτίας; hamartias G266 ? If I say G3004 truth ἀλήθειαν alētheian G225 , why G5101 do ye not believe πιστεύετέ pisteuete G4100 me ? 48 The Jews Ἰουδαῖοι Ioudaioi G2453 answered Ἀπεκρίθησαν Apekrithēsan G611 and said λέγομεν legomen G3004 unto him , Say G3004 we not well G2573 that thou art a Samaritan Σαμαρίτης Samaritēs G4541 , and hast a demon δαιμόνιον daimonion G1140 ? 49 Jesus Ἰησοῦς· Iēsous G2424 answered Ἀπεκρίθη Apekrithē G611 , I have not a demon δαιμόνιον daimonion G1140 ; but I honor τιμῶ timō G5091 my Father πατέρα patera G3962 , and ye dishonor ἀτιμάζετέ atimazete G818 me . 51 Verily, verily, I say λέγω legō G3004 unto you , If a man keep τηρήσῃ, tērēsē G5083 my word λόγον logon G3056 , he shall never see θεωρήσῃ theōrēsē G2334 death θάνατον thanaton G2288 . 52 The Jews Ἰουδαῖοι· Ioudaioi G2453 said λέγεις· legeis G3004 unto him , Now νῦν nun G3568 we know G1097 that thou hast a demon δαιμόνιον daimonion G1140 . Abraham Ἀβραὰμ Abraam G11 died G599 , and the prophets προφῆται, prophētai G4396 ; and thou sayest, If a man keep τηρήσῃ, tērēsē G5083 my word λόγον logon G3056 , he shall never taste γεύσηται geusētai G1089 of death θανάτου thanatou G2288 . 53 Art thou greater G3173 than our father πατρὸς patros G3962 Abraham Ἀβραάμ, Abraam G11 , who died G599 ? and the prophets προφῆται prophētai G4396 died G599 : whom makest thou thyself? 57 The Jews Ἰουδαῖοι Ioudaioi G2453 therefore οὖν oun G3767 said G3004 unto him , Thou art not yet fifty πεντήκοντα pentēkonta G4004 years ἔτη etē G2094 old, and hast thou seen G3708 Abraham Ἀβραὰμ Abraam G11 ? ← John 7 John 9 → American Standard Version — 1901 — Public Domain
