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

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

they say to him, Teacher, this woman has been taken in the very act, committing adultery.

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

Now in the law Moses has commanded us to stone such; thou therefore, 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,

But this they said proving him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus, having stooped down, wrote with his finger on the ground.

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;'

But when they continued asking him, he lifted himself up and said to them, Let him that is without sin among you first cast the stone at her.

8 a nd again having stooped down, he was writing on the ground,

And again stooping down he 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.

But they, having heard, went out one by one beginning from the elder ones until the last; and Jesus was left alone and the woman standing there.

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?'

And Jesus, lifting himself up and seeing no one but the woman, said to her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? Has no one 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.'

And she said, No one, sir. And Jesus said to 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.'

Again therefore Jesus spoke to 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.

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

The Pharisees therefore said to him, Thou bearest witness concerning thyself; thy witness 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 to them, Even if I bear witness concerning myself, my witness is true, because I know whence I came and whither I go: but ye know not whence I come and whither I go.

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

Ye judge according to the flesh, I judge no one.

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 if also I judge, my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who has sent me.

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

And in your law too it is written 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 who bear witness concerning myself, and the Father who has sent me bears witness concerning 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.'

They said to him therefore, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye know neither me nor my Father. If ye had known me, ye would have known also my Father.

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 spoke he in the treasury, teaching in the temple; and no one took 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.'

He said therefore again to them, I go away, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sin; where 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?'

The Jews therefore said, Will he kill himself, that he says, Where 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 to 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 to you, that ye shall die in your sins; for unless ye shall believe that I am, 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;

They said therefore to him, Who art thou? Jesus said to them, Altogether that which I also say to you.

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.'

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

They knew not that he spoke 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;

Jesus therefore said to them, When ye shall have lifted up the Son of man, then ye shall know that I am, and I do nothing of myself, but as the Father has 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 has sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, because I do always the things that are pleasing to him.

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

As he spoke these things 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,

Jesus therefore said to the Jews who believed him, If ye abide in my word, ye are truly my disciples;

32 a nd the truth shall make you free.'

and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall set 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 are Abraham's seed, and have never been under bondage to any one; how sayest thou, Ye shall become 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 to you, Every one that practises sin is the bondman of sin.

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

Now the bondman abides not in the house for ever: the son abides for ever.

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

If therefore the Son shall set you free, ye shall be really free.

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 has no entrance 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 what I have seen with my Father, and ye then do what 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 to him, Abraham is our father. Jesus says to 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 who has spoken the truth to you, which I have heard from 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 works of your father. They said to him, We are not born of fornication; we have one father, 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 to them, If God were your father ye would have loved me, for I came forth from God and am come; for neither am I come of myself, but he has sent me.

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

Why do ye not know my speech? 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 the devil, as father, and ye desire to do the lusts of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks falsehood, he speaks of what is his own; for he is a liar and its father:

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

and because I speak the truth, ye do not believe me.

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

Which of you convinces me of sin? If I speak 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 hears the words of God: therefore ye hear 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?'

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

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

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

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

But I do not seek my own glory: there is he that seeks and judges.

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 any one shall keep my word, 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!

The Jews therefore said to him, Now we know that thou hast a demon. Abraham has died, and the prophets, and thou sayest, If any one keep my word, he shall never taste 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, who has died? and the prophets have died: 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 glorify myself, my glory is nothing: it is my Father who glorifies me, whom ye say, He is our 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;

And ye know him not; but I know him; and if I said, I know him not, I should be like you, a liar. But I know him, and I keep his word.

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

Your father Abraham exulted in that he should see my day, and he saw and rejoiced.

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

The Jews therefore said to him, Thou hast not yet fifty years, 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 to 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.

They took up therefore stones that they might cast at him; but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple,
