John 8

1but JesusG2424 wentG4198 unto the mountG3735 of Olives. 2And early in the morning he cameG2064 againG3825 into the temple, and all the peopleG2992 cameG2064 unto him; and he satG2523 downG2523, and taughtG1321 them. 3And the scribesG1122 and the PhariseesG5330 bringG71 a womanG1135 taken in adulteryG3430; and having setG2476 her in the midstG3319, 4they sayG3004 unto him, TeacherG1320, this womanG1135 hath been taken in adulteryG3431, in the very act. 5NowG1161 in the lawG3551 MosesG3475 commandedG1781 us to stone suchG5108: what thenG3767 sayest thou of her? 6And this they saidG3004, trying him, that they might have whereof to accuseG2723 him. But JesusG2424 stoopedG2955 downG2736, and with his fingerG1147 wroteG1125 on the groundG1093. 7But whenG5613 they continuedG1961 askingG2065 him, he lifted up himself, and saidG3004 unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him firstG4413 castG906 a stoneG3037 at her. 8And againG3825 he stoopedG2955 downG2736, and with his finger wroteG1125 on the groundG1093. 9And they, when they heardG191 it, wentG1831 out oneG1520 by oneG1520, beginning from the eldest, evenG2532 unto the lastG2078: and JesusG2424 was left aloneG3441, and the womanG1135, where she was, in the midstG3319. 10And JesusG2424 lifted up himself, and saidG3004 unto her, WomanG1135, whereG4226 areG1510 they? did no man condemnG2632 thee? 11And she saidG3004, No man, LordG2962. And JesusG2424 saidG3004, Neither do I condemnG2632 thee: goG4198 thy way; from henceforth sinG264 no moreG3371.]

12AgainG3825 thereforeG3767 JesusG2424 spake unto them, sayingG3004, I amG1510 the lightG5457 of the worldG2889: he that followeth me shall not walkG4043 in the darknessG4653, but shall have the lightG5457 of lifeG2222. 13The PhariseesG5330 thereforeG3767 saidG3004 unto him, Thou bearest witnessG3140 of thyself; thy witnessG3140 isG1510 not trueG227. 14JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004 unto them, EvenG2532 if I bearG3140 witnessG3140 of myself, my witnessG3140 isG1510 trueG227; for I know whence I cameG2064, and whither I goG5217; but ye know not whence I comeG2064, or whither I goG5217. 15Ye judgeG2919 after the fleshG4561; I judgeG2919 no man. 16Yea and if I judgeG2919, my judgmentG2920 isG1510 trueG228; for I amG1510 not aloneG3441, but I and the FatherG3962 that sentG3992 me. 17Yea and in your lawG3551 it isG1510 writtenG1125, that the witnessG3141 of twoG1417 menG444 isG1510 trueG227. 18I amG1510 he that beareth witnessG3140 of myself, and the FatherG3962 that sentG3992 me beareth witnessG3140 of me. 19They saidG3004 thereforeG3767 unto him, WhereG4226 isG1510 thy FatherG3962? JesusG2424 answeredG611, Ye know neither me, nor my FatherG3962: if ye knew me, ye would know my FatherG3962 alsoG2532. 20These words spake he in the treasuryG1049, as he taughtG1321 in the temple: and no manG3778 took him; because his hourG5610 was not yet comeG2064.

21He saidG3004 thereforeG3767 againG3825 unto them, I goG5217 awayG5217, and ye shall seekG2212 me, and shall dieG599 in your sinG266: whither I goG5217, ye cannot comeG2064. 22The JewsG2453 thereforeG3767 saidG3004, Will he killG615 himself, that he saith, Whither I goG5217, ye cannot comeG2064? 23And he saidG3004 unto them, Ye areG1510 from beneath; I amG1510 from above: ye areG1510 of this worldG2889; I amG1510 not of this worldG2889. 24I saidG3004 thereforeG3767 unto you, that ye shall dieG599 in your sinsG266: for except ye believeG4100 that I amG1510 he, ye shall dieG599 in your sinsG266. 25They saidG3004 thereforeG3767 unto him, Who art thou? JesusG2424 saidG3004 unto them, EvenG2532 that which I have alsoG2532 spokenG2980 unto you from the beginning. 26I have manyG4183 thingsG3778 to speakG2980 and to judgeG2919 concerningG4012 you: howbeit he that sentG3992 me isG1510 trueG227; and the thingsG3778 which I heardG191 from him, these speakG2980 I unto the worldG2889. 27They perceived not that he spake to them of the FatherG3962. 28JesusG2424 thereforeG3767 saidG3004, WhenG3752 ye have liftedG5312 up the SonG5207 of manG444, then shall ye knowG1097 that I amG1510 he, and that I do nothing of myself, but as the FatherG3962 taughtG1321 me, I speakG2980 these thingsG3778. 29And he that sentG3992 me isG1510 with me; he hath not leftG863 me aloneG3441; for I do alwaysG3842 the things that areG1510 pleasingG701 to him. 30As he spake these thingsG3778, manyG4183 believedG4100 on him.

31JesusG2424 thereforeG3767 saidG3004 to those JewsG2453 that had believedG4100 him, If ye abideG3306 in my wordG3056, thenG3767 areG1510 ye trulyG230 my disciplesG3101; 32and ye shall knowG1097 the truthG225, and the truthG225 shall make you freeG1659. 33They answeredG611 unto him, We areG1510 Abraham’s seedG4690, and have never yet beenG1510 in bondage to any man: howG4459 sayest thou, Ye shall beG1510 made freeG1658? 34JesusG2424 answeredG611 them, Verily, verily, I sayG3004 unto you, Every oneG3588 that committeth sinG266 isG1510 the bondservant of sinG266. 35And the bondservant abideth not in the houseG3614 for ever: the sonG5207 abideth for ever. 36If thereforeG3767 the SonG5207 shall make you freeG1658, ye shall beG1510 freeG1658 indeedG3689. 37I know that ye areG1510 Abraham’s seedG4690; yetG235 ye seekG2212 to killG615 me, because my wordG3056 hath not free course in you. 38I speakG2980 the thingsG3739 which I have seenG3708 with my FatherG3962: and ye alsoG2532 do the thingsG3739 which ye heardG191 from your fatherG3962. 39They answeredG611 and saidG3004 unto him, Our fatherG3962 isG1510 AbrahamG11. JesusG2424 saith unto them, If ye wereG1510 Abraham’s childrenG5043, ye would do the worksG2041 of AbrahamG11. 40But nowG1161 ye seekG2212 to killG615 me, a manG444 that hath told you the truthG225, which I heardG191 from GodG2316: this did not AbrahamG11. 41Ye do the worksG2041 of your fatherG3962. They saidG3004 unto him, We were not bornG1080 of fornication; we have oneG1520 FatherG3962, even GodG2316. 42JesusG2424 saidG3004 unto them, If GodG2316 wereG1510 your FatherG3962, ye would loveG25 me: for I cameG2064 forthG1831 and amG1510 comeG2064 from GodG2316; for neither have I comeG2064 of myself, but he sentG649 me. 43WhyG5101 do ye not understandG1097 my speechG3056? Even because ye cannot hearG191 my wordG3056. 44Ye areG1510 of your fatherG3962 the devilG1228, and the lustsG1939 of your fatherG3962 it isG1510 your will to do. He wasG1510 a murdererG443 from the beginning, and standeth not in the truthG225, because there isG1510 no truthG225 in him. WhenG3752 he speaketh a lieG5579, he speaketh of his ownG2398: for he isG1510 a liarG5583, and the fatherG3962 thereof. 45But because I sayG3004 the truthG225, ye believeG4100 me not. 46Which of you convicteth me of sinG266? If I sayG3004 truthG225, whyG5101 do ye not believeG4100 me? 47He that isG1510 of GodG2316 heareth the words of GodG2316: for this cause ye hearG191 them not, because ye areG1510 not of GodG2316. 48The JewsG2453 answeredG611 and saidG3004 unto him, SayG3004 we not wellG2573 that thou art a SamaritanG4541, and hast a demonG1140? 49JesusG2424 answeredG611, I have not a demonG1140; but I honorG5091 my FatherG3962, and ye dishonorG818 me. 50But I seekG2212 not mineG1473 own gloryG1391: there isG1510 oneG3588 that seeketh and judgeth. 51Verily, verily, I sayG3004 unto you, If a man keepG5083 my wordG3056, he shall never seeG2334 deathG2288. 52The JewsG2453 saidG3004 unto him, NowG3568 we knowG1097 that thou hast a demonG1140. AbrahamG11 diedG599, and the prophetsG4396; and thou sayest, If a man keepG5083 my wordG3056, he shall never tasteG1089 of deathG2288. 53Art thou greaterG3173 than our fatherG3962 AbrahamG11, who diedG599? and the prophetsG4396 diedG599: whom makest thou thyself? 54JesusG2424 answeredG611, If I glorifyG1392 myself, my gloryG1391 isG1510 nothing: it isG1510 my FatherG3962 that glorifieth me; of whom ye sayG3004, that he isG1510 your GodG2316; 55and ye have not knownG1097 him: but I knowG1097 him; and if I should sayG3004, I knowG1097 him not, I shall beG1510 like unto you, a liarG5583: but I knowG1097 him, and keepG5083 his wordG3056. 56Your fatherG3962 AbrahamG11 rejoicedG5463 to seeG3708 my dayG2250; and he sawG3708 it, and was gladG5463. 57The JewsG2453 thereforeG3767 saidG3004 unto him, Thou art not yet fiftyG4004 yearsG2094 old, and hast thou seenG3708 AbrahamG11? 58JesusG2424 saidG3004 unto them, Verily, verily, I sayG3004 unto you, Before AbrahamG11 wasG1510 born, I amG1510. 59They tookG142 up stonesG3037 thereforeG3767 to castG906 at him: but JesusG2424 hidG2928 himself, and wentG1831 out of the temple.
