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

And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,

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

they say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.

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

Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?

6 a nd 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,

This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.

7 a nd 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;'

So 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 having stooped down, he was writing on the ground,

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

9 a nd 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.

And they which 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 standing in the midst.

10 A nd 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?'

When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?

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

She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

12 A gain, 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.'

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

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

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

14 J esus 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.

Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go.

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

Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.

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

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

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

It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.

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

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

19 T hey 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.'

Then said they 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.

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

These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.

21 t herefore 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.'

Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.

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

Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.

23 a nd he said to them, `Ye are from beneath, I am from above; ye 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 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.'

I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.

25 T hey said, therefore, to him, `Thou -- who art thou?' and Jesus said to them, `Even what I did speak of to you at the beginning;

Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.

26 m any 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.'

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

27 T hey knew not that of the Father he spake to them;

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

28 J esus, 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;

Then said Jesus unto them, 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 my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.

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

And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.

30 A s he is speaking these things, many believed in him;

As he spake these words, many believed on him.

31 J esus, 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,

Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;

32 a nd the truth shall make you free.'

and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

33 T hey 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?'

They answered him, We be Abraham’s seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?

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

Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.

35 a nd the servant doth not remain in the house -- to the age, the son doth remain -- to the age;

And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.

36 i f then the son may make you free, in reality ye shall be free.

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

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

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

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

I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.

39 T hey 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;

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

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

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

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

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

42 J esus 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;

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

43 w herefore do ye not know my speech? because ye are not able to hear my word.

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

44 ` 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.

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode 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 of it.

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

And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.

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

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

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

He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.

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

Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?

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

Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me.

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

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

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

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

52 T he 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!

Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.

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

Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?

54 J esus 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;

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

55 a nd 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;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

59 t hey 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.

Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
