3 T hen the scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. And when they had set her in the midst,

And the scribes and the Pharisees bring a woman taken in adultery; and having set her in the midst,

4 t hey said to Him, “Teacher, this woman was caught in adultery, in the very act.

they say unto him, Teacher, this woman hath been taken in adultery, in the very act.

5 N ow Moses, in the law, commanded us that such should be stoned. But what do You say?”

Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such: what then sayest thou of her?

6 T his they said, testing Him, that they might have something of which to accuse Him. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with His finger, as though He did not hear.

And this they said, trying him, that they might have whereof to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.

7 S o when they continued asking Him, He raised Himself up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first.”

But 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 A nd again He stooped down and wrote on the ground.

And again he stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.

9 T hen those who heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

And they, when they heard it, went out one by one, beginning from the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman, where she was, in the midst.

10 W hen Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, “Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?”

And Jesus lifted up himself, and said unto her, Woman, where are they? did no man condemn thee?

11 S he said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.”

And she said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said, Neither do I condemn thee: go thy way; from henceforth sin no more.

12 T hen Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” Jesus Defends His Self-Witness

Again therefore Jesus spake unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life.

13 T he Pharisees therefore said to Him, “You bear witness of Yourself; Your witness is not true.”

The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest witness of thyself; thy witness is not true.

14 J esus answered and said to them, “Even if I bear witness of Myself, My witness is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from and where I am going.

Jesus answered and said unto them, Even if I bear witness of myself, my witness is true; for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye know not whence I come, or whither I go.

15 Y ou judge according to the flesh; I judge no one.

Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.

16 A nd yet if I do judge, My judgment is true; for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent Me.

Yea and if I judge, my judgment is true; for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.

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

Yea and in your law it is written, that the witness of two men is true.

18 I am One who bears witness of Myself, and the Father who sent Me bears witness of Me.”

I am he that beareth witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.

19 T hen they said to Him, “Where is Your Father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither Me nor My Father. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also.”

They said therefore unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye know neither me, nor my Father: if ye knew me, ye would know my Father also.

20 T hese words Jesus spoke in the treasury, as He taught in the temple; and no one laid hands on Him, for His hour had not yet come. Jesus Predicts His Departure

These words spake he in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man took him; because his hour was not yet come.

21 T hen Jesus said to them again, “I am going away, and you will seek Me, and will die in your sin. Where I go you cannot come.”

He said therefore again unto them, I go away, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sin: whither I go, ye cannot come.

22 S o the Jews said, “Will He kill Himself, because He says, ‘Where I go you cannot come’ ?”

The Jews therefore said, Will he kill himself, that he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come?

23 A nd He said to them, “You are from beneath; I am from above. You 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 T herefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.”

I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for except ye believe that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.

25 T hen they said to Him, “Who are You?” And Jesus said to them, “Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.

They said therefore unto him, Who art thou? Jesus said unto them, Even that which I have also spoken unto you from the beginning.

26 I have many things to say and to judge concerning you, but He who sent Me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I heard from Him.”

I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you: howbeit he that sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these speak I unto the world.

27 T hey did not understand that He spoke to them of the Father.

They perceived not that he spake to them of the Father.

28 T hen Jesus said to them, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing of Myself; but as My Father taught Me, I speak these things.

Jesus therefore said, 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 the Father taught me, I speak these things.

29 A nd He who sent Me is with Me. The Father has not left Me alone, for I always do those things that please Him.”

And he that sent me is with me; he hath not left me alone; for I do always the things that are pleasing to him.

30 A s He spoke these words, many believed in Him. The Truth Shall Make You Free

As he spake these things, many believed on him.

31 T hen Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.

Jesus therefore said to those Jews that had believed him, If ye abide in my word, then are ye truly my disciples;

32 A nd you 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 T hey answered Him, “We are Abraham’s descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can You say, ‘You will be made free’ ?”

They answered unto him, We are Abraham's seed, and have never yet been in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?

34 J esus answered them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin.

Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Every one that committeth sin is the bondservant of sin.

35 A nd a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever.

And the bondservant abideth not in the house for ever: the son abideth for ever.

36 T herefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed. Abraham’s Seed and Satan’s

If therefore the Son shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

37 “ I know that you are Abraham’s descendants, but you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you.

I know that ye are Abraham's seed: yet ye seek to kill me, because my word hath not free course in you.

38 I speak what I have seen with My Father, and you do what you have seen with your father.”

I speak the things which I have seen with my Father: and ye also do the things which ye heard from your father.

39 T hey answered and said to Him, “Abraham is our father.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham.

They answered and said unto him, Our father is Abraham. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.

40 B ut now you seek to kill Me, a Man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham did not do this.

But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I heard from God: this did not Abraham.

41 Y ou do the deeds of your father.” Then they said to Him, “We were not born of fornication; we have one Father—God.”

Ye do the works of your father. They said unto him, We were not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.

42 J esus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and came from God; nor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me.

Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I came forth and am come from God; for neither have I come of myself, but he sent me.

43 W hy do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word.

Why do ye not understand my speech? Even because ye cannot hear my word.

44 Y ou are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and standeth 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 thereof.

45 B ut because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me.

But because I say the truth, ye believe me not.

46 W hich of you convicts Me of sin? And if I tell the truth, why do you not believe Me?

Which of you convicteth me of sin? If I say truth, why do ye not believe me?

47 H e who is of God hears God’s words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God.” Before Abraham Was, I AM

He that is of God heareth the words of God: for this cause ye hear them not, because ye are not of God.

48 T hen the Jews answered and said to Him, “Do we not say rightly that You are a Samaritan and have a demon?”

The Jews answered and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?

49 J esus answered, “I do not have a demon; but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me.

Jesus answered, I have not a demon; but I honor my Father, and ye dishonor me.

50 A nd I do not seek My own glory; there is One who seeks and judges.

But I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.

51 M ost assuredly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he shall never see death.”

Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my word, he shall never see death.

52 T hen the Jews said to Him, “Now we know that You have a demon! Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and You say, ‘If anyone keeps My word he shall never taste death.’

The Jews said unto him, Now we know that thou hast a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my word, he shall never taste of death.

53 A re You greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? And the prophets are dead. Who do You make Yourself out to be?”

Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who died? and the prophets died: whom makest thou thyself?

54 J esus answered, “If I honor Myself, My honor is nothing. It is My Father who honors Me, of whom you say that He is your God.

Jesus answered, If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing: it is my Father that glorifieth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God;

55 Y et you have not known Him, but I know Him. And if I say, ‘I do not know Him,’ I shall be a liar like you; but I do know Him and keep His word.

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

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

Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day; and he saw it, and was glad.

57 T hen the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?”

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

58 J esus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.”

Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was born, I am.

59 T hen they took up stones to throw at Him; but Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.

They took up stones therefore to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple.
