John 8:1-27

NLT

NIV

1 Jesus returned to the Mount of Olives,
1 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
2 but early the next morning he was back again at the Temple. A crowd soon gathered, and he sat down and taught them.
2 At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them.
3 As he was speaking, the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in the act of adultery. They put her in front of the crowd.
3 The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group
4 “Teacher,” they said to Jesus, “this woman was caught in the act of adultery.
4 and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery.
5 The law of Moses says to stone her. What do you say?”
5 In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?”
6 They were trying to trap him into saying something they could use against him, but Jesus stooped down and wrote in the dust with his finger.
6 They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him. But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger.
7 They kept demanding an answer, so he stood up again and said, “All right, but let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone!”
7 When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.”
8 Then he stooped down again and wrote in the dust.
8 Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.
9 When the accusers heard this, they slipped away one by one, beginning with the oldest, until only Jesus was left in the middle of the crowd with the woman.
9 At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there.
10 Then Jesus stood up again and said to the woman, “Where are your accusers? Didn’t even one of them condemn you?”
10 Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”
11 “No, Lord,” she said. And Jesus said, “Neither do I. Go and sin no more.” ----------
11 “No one, sir,” she said. “Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.”
12 Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, “I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.”
12 When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
13 The Pharisees replied, “You are making those claims about yourself! Such testimony is not valid.”
13 The Pharisees challenged him, “Here you are, appearing as your own witness; your testimony is not valid.”
14 Jesus told them, “These claims are valid even though I make them about myself. For I know where I came from and where I am going, but you don’t know this about me.
14 Jesus answered, “Even if I testify on my own behalf, my testimony is valid, for I know where I came from and where I am going. But you have no idea where I come from or where I am going.
15 You judge me by human standards, but I do not judge anyone.
15 You judge by human standards; I pass judgment on no one.
16 And if I did, my judgment would be correct in every respect because I am not alone. The Father who sent me is with me.
16 But if I do judge, my decisions are true, because I am not alone. I stand with the Father, who sent me.
17 Your own law says that if two people agree about something, their witness is accepted as fact.
17 In your own Law it is written that the testimony of two witnesses is true.
18 I am one witness, and my Father who sent me is the other.”
18 I am one who testifies for myself; my other witness is the Father, who sent me.”
19 “Where is your father?” they asked. Jesus answered, “Since you don’t know who I am, you don’t know who my Father is. If you knew me, you would also know my Father.”
19 Then they asked him, “Where is your father?” “You do not know me or my Father,” Jesus replied. “If you knew me, you would know my Father also.”
20 Jesus made these statements while he was teaching in the section of the Temple known as the Treasury. But he was not arrested, because his time had not yet come.
20 He spoke these words while teaching in the temple courts near the place where the offerings were put. Yet no one seized him, because his hour had not yet come.
21 Later Jesus said to them again, “I am going away. You will search for me but will die in your sin. You cannot come where I am going.”
21 Once more Jesus said to them, “I am going away, and you will look for me, and you will die in your sin. Where I go, you cannot come.”
22 The people asked, “Is he planning to commit suicide? What does he mean, ‘You cannot come where I am going’?”
22 This made the Jews ask, “Will he kill himself? Is that why he says, ‘Where I go, you cannot come’?”
23 Jesus continued, “You are from below; I am from above. You belong to this world; I do not.
23 But he continued, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.
24 That is why I said that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I AM who I claim to be, you will die in your sins.”
24 I told you that you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I am he, you will indeed die in your sins.”
25 “Who are you?” they demanded. Jesus replied, “The one I have always claimed to be.
25 “Who are you?” they asked. “Just what I have been telling you from the beginning,” Jesus replied.
26 I have much to say about you and much to condemn, but I won’t. For I say only what I have heard from the one who sent me, and he is completely truthful.”
26 “I have much to say in judgment of you. But he who sent me is trustworthy, and what I have heard from him I tell the world.”
27 But they still didn’t understand that he was talking about his Father.
27 They did not understand that he was telling them about his Father.
