1 ¶ Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.

And at dawn he came again to the temple,

2 A nd early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down and taught them.

and all the people were coming unto him, and having sat down, he was teaching them;

3 T hen the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery, and when they had set her in the midst,

and the scribes and the Pharisees bring unto him a woman having been taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst,

4 t hey said unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery in the very act.

they say to him, `Teacher, this woman was taken in the very crime -- committing adultery,

5 N ow Moses in the law commanded us that such should be stoned, but what sayest thou?

and in the law, Moses did command us that such be stoned; thou, therefore, what dost thou say?'

6 T his they said, tempting him, that they might be able to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down and with his finger wrote on the ground.

and this they said, trying him, that they might have to accuse him. And Jesus, having stooped down, with the finger he was writing on the ground,

7 S o when they continued asking him, he lifted himself up and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him be the first to cast a stone at her.

and when they continued asking him, having bent himself back, he said unto them, `The sinless of you -- let him first cast the stone at her;'

8 A nd again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.

and again having stooped down, he was writing on the ground,

9 A nd those who heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest even unto the last; and Jesus was left alone and the woman that had been in the midst.

and they having heard, and by the conscience being convicted, were going forth one by one, having begun from the elders -- unto the last; and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

10 J esus, lifting himself up and seeing no one but the woman, said unto her, Woman, where are thine accusers? Has no one condemned thee?

And Jesus having bent himself back, and having seen no one but the woman, said to her, `Woman, where are those -- thine accusers? did no one pass sentence upon thee?'

11 A nd she said, No one, Lord. Then Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee; go and sin no more.

and she said, `No one, Sir;' and Jesus said to her, `Neither do I pass sentence on thee; be going on, and no more sin.'

12 ¶ Then Jesus spoke again unto them, saying, I AM the light of the world; he that follows me shall not walk in darkness but shall have the light of life.

Again, therefore, Jesus spake to them, saying, `I am the light of the world; he who is following me shall not walk in the darkness, but he shall have the light of the life.'

13 T hen the Pharisees said unto him, Thou dost bear witness of thyself; thy witness is not true.

The Pharisees, therefore, said to him, `Thou of thyself dost testify, thy testimony is not true;'

14 J esus answered and said unto them, Though I bear witness of myself, my witness is true, for I know from where I came and where I go; but ye do not know where I came from and where I go.

Jesus answered and said to them, `And if I testify of myself -- my testimony is true, because I have known whence I came, and whither I go, and ye -- ye have not known whence I come, or whither I go.

15 Y e judge after the flesh, but I judge no one.

`Ye according to the flesh do judge; I do not judge any one,

16 A nd yet if I judge, my judgment is true, for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.

and even if I do judge my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me;

17 I t is also written in your law that the testimony of two men is true.

and also in your law it hath been written, that the testimony of two men are true;

18 I AM one that bears witness of myself, and the Father that sent me bears witness of me.

I am who is testifying of myself, and the Father who sent me doth testify of me.'

19 T hen they said unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father; if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.

They said, therefore, to him, `Where is thy father?' Jesus answered, `Ye have neither known me nor my Father: if me ye had known, my Father also ye had known.'

20 J esus spoke these words in the treasury as he taught in the temple, and no one laid hands on him, for his hour was not yet come.

These sayings spake Jesus in the treasury, teaching in the temple, and no one seized him, because his hour had not yet come;

21 ¶ Then Jesus said again unto them, I am going away, and ye shall seek me, but ye shall die in your sins; where I go, ye shall not be able to come.

therefore said Jesus again to them, `I go away, and ye will seek me, and in your sin ye shall die; whither I go away, ye are not able to come.'

22 T hen the Jews said, Will he kill himself? because he says, Where I go, ye shall not be able to come.

The Jews, therefore, said, `Will he kill himself, because he saith, Whither I go away, ye are not able to come?'

23 A nd he said unto them, Ye are from below, I am from above; ye are of this world, I am not of this world.

and he said to them, `Ye are from beneath, I am from above; ye are of this world, I am not of this world;

24 T herefore I said unto you that ye shall die in your sins, for if ye do not believe that I AM, ye shall die in your sins.

I said, therefore, to you, that ye shall die in your sins, for if ye may not believe that I am, ye shall die in your sins.'

25 A nd said they unto him, Who art thou? Then Jesus said unto them, He that I said unto you also from the beginning.

They said, therefore, to him, `Thou -- who art thou?' and Jesus said to them, `Even what I did speak of to you at the beginning;

26 I have many things to say and to judge regarding you, but he that sent me is true; and those things which I have heard of him, I speak in the world.

many things I have to speak concerning you and to judge, but He who sent me is true, and I -- what things I heard from Him -- these I say to the world.'

27 B ut they did not understand that he spoke to them of the Father.

They knew not that of the Father he spake to them;

28 T hen Jesus said unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then ye shall know that I AM and that I do nothing of myself, but as my Father has taught me, I speak these things.

Jesus, therefore, said to them, `When ye may lift up the Son of Man then ye will know that I am; and of myself I do nothing, but according as my Father did teach me, these things I speak;

29 A nd he that sent me is with me: the Father has not left me alone, for I always do those things that please him.

and He who sent me is with me; the Father did not leave me alone, because I, the things pleasing to Him, do always.'

30 A s he spoke these words, many believed in him.

As he is speaking these things, many believed in him;

31 ¶ Then Jesus said to those Jews who had believed him, If ye abide in my word, ye shall be my disciples indeed;

Jesus, therefore, said unto the Jews who believed in him, `If ye may remain in my word, truly my disciples ye are, and ye shall know the truth,

32 a nd ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.

and the truth shall make you free.'

33 T hey answered him, We are Abraham’s seed, and we have never served anyone; how sayest thou, Ye shall be set free?

They answered him, `Seed of Abraham we are; and to no one have we been servants at any time; how dost thou say -- Ye shall become free?'

34 J esus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever commits sin is the slave of sin.

Jesus answered them, `Verily, verily, I say to you -- Every one who is committing sin, is a servant of the sin,

35 A nd the slave does not abide in the house for ever, but the Son abides for ever.

and the servant doth not remain in the house -- to the age, the son doth remain -- to the age;

36 I f the Son therefore shall set you free, ye shall be free indeed.

if then the son may make you free, in reality ye shall be free.

37 I know that ye are Abraham’s seed, but ye seek to kill me because my word has no place in you.

`I have known that ye are seed of Abraham, but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you;

38 ¶ I speak that which I have seen with my Father, and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.

I -- that which I have seen with my Father do speak, and ye, therefore, that which ye have seen with your father -- ye do.'

39 T hey answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus said unto them, If ye were Abraham’s sons, ye would do the works of Abraham.

They answered and said to him, `Our father is Abraham;' Jesus saith to them, `If children of Abraham ye were, the works of Abraham ye were doing;

40 B ut now ye seek to kill me, a man that has told you the truth, which I have heard of God; Abraham did not do this.

and now, ye seek to kill me -- a man who hath spoken to you the truth I heard from God; this Abraham did not;

41 Y e do the deeds of your father. Then they said to him, We are not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.

ye do the works of your father.' They said, therefore, to him, `We of whoredom have not been born; one Father we have -- God;'

42 J esus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would surely love me, for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither did I come of myself, but he sent me.

Jesus then said to them, `If God were your father, ye were loving me, for I came forth from God, and am come; for neither have I come of myself, but He sent me;

43 W hy do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.

wherefore do ye not know my speech? because ye are not able to hear my word.

44 Y e are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father ye desire to do. He was a murderer from the beginning and abode not in the truth because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own, for he is a liar and the father of it.

`Ye are of a father -- the devil, and the desires of your father ye will to do; he was a man-slayer from the beginning, and in the truth he hath not stood, because there is no truth in him; when one may speak the falsehood, of his own he speaketh, because he is a liar -- also his father.

45 A nd because I tell you the truth, ye do not believe me.

`And because I say the truth, ye do not believe me.

46 ¶ Which of you reproves me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?

Who of you doth convict me of sin? and if I speak truth, wherefore do ye not believe me?

47 H e that is of God hears God’s words; ye therefore hear them not because ye are not of God.

he who is of God, the sayings of God he doth hear; because of this ye do not hear, because of God ye are not.'

48 T hen the Jews answered, and said unto him, Do we not say well that thou art a Samaritan and hast a demon?

The Jews, therefore, answered and said to him, `Do we not say well, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?'

49 J esus answered, I do not have a demon; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me.

Jesus answered, `I have not a demon, but I honour my Father, and ye dishonour me;

50 A nd I seek not my own glory; there is one that seeks it and judges.

and I do not seek my own glory; there is who is seeking and is judging;

51 ¶ Verily, verily, I say unto you, If anyone keeps my word, he shall not see death forever.

verily, verily, I say to you, If any one may keep my word, death he may not see -- to the age.'

52 T hen the Jews said unto him, Now we know that thou hast a demon. Abraham died and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keeps my word, he shall not taste death forever?

The Jews, therefore, said to him, `Now we have known that thou hast a demon; Abraham did die, and the prophets, and thou dost say, If any one may keep my word, he shall not taste of death -- to the age!

53 A rt thou greater than our father Abraham who died? and the prophets died; whom makest thou thyself?

Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who died? and the prophets died; whom dost thou make thyself?'

54 J esus answered, If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing; it is my Father that glorifies me, of whom ye say that he is your God;

Jesus answered, `If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing; it is my Father who is glorifying me, of whom ye say that He is your God;

55 y et ye have not known him, but I know him; and if I should say, I do not know him, I shall be a liar like unto you; but I know him and keep his word.

and ye have not known Him, and I have known Him, and if I say that I have not known Him, I shall be like you -- speaking falsely; but I have known Him, and His word I keep;

56 Y our father Abraham rejoiced to see my day, and he saw it and was glad.

Abraham, your father, was glad that he might see my day; and he saw, and did rejoice.'

57 T hen the Jews said unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?

The Jews, therefore, said unto him, `Thou art not yet fifty years old, and Abraham hast thou seen?'

58 J esus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I AM.

Jesus said to them, `Verily, verily, I say to you, Before Abraham's coming -- I am;'

59 T hen they took up stones to cast at him, but Jesus concealed himself and went out of the temple, and going through the midst of them, went away.

they took up, therefore, stones that they may cast at him, but Jesus hid himself, and went forth out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
