John 8

King James Version KJV

1 Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

14 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 judge after the flesh; I judge no man.

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

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

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

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

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

28 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 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 As he spake these words, many believed on him.

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

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

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

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

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

37 I know that ye are Abraham's seed; 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.

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

44 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 tell you the truth, ye believe me not.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

59 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.

1 But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.

2 Now early in the morning he came again to the temple [courts]. And all the people were coming, and he sat down [and] began to teach them.

3 Now the scribes and the Pharisees brought to him a woman caught in adultery. And standing her in [their] midst,

4 they said to him, testing [him], "Teacher, this woman was caught in the very act of committing adultery!

5 Now in the law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. So what do you say?"

6 (Now they were saying this to test him, so that they would have [an occasion] to bring charges against him.) But Jesus, bending down, began to write with [his] finger on the ground, taking no notice.

7 And when they persisted in asking him, straightening up he said to them, "The [one] of you without sin, let him throw the first stone at her!"

8 And bending down again, he wrote on the ground.

9 Now [when they] heard [it], being convicted by their conscience, they began to depart, one by one, beginning with the older ones, and Jesus was left alone--and the woman who was in [their] midst.

10 So Jesus, straightening up and seeing no one except the woman, said to her, "Where are those accusers of yours? Does no one condemn you?"

11 And she said, "No one, Lord." So Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you. Go, and sin no more."]]

12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, "I am the light of the world! The one who follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

13 So the Pharisees said to him, "You testify concerning yourself! Your testimony is not true."

14 Jesus answered and said to them, "Even if I testify concerning myself, my testimony is true, because I know where I have come from and where I am going. But you do not know where I have come from or where I am going.

15 You judge according to externals; I do not judge anyone.

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

17 And even in your law it is written that the testimony of two men is true.

18 I am the one who testifies concerning myself, and the Father who sent me testifies concerning me."

19 So they were saying to him, "Where is your father?" Jesus replied, "You know neither me nor my Father! If you had known me, you would have known my Father also."

20 He spoke these words by the treasury [while] teaching in the temple [courts], and no one seized him, because his hour had not yet come.

21 So he said to them again, "I am going away, and you will seek me and will die in your sin. Where I am going you cannot come!"

22 Then the Jews began to say, "Perhaps he will kill himself, because he is saying, 'Where I am going you cannot come.'"

23 And he said to them, "You are from below; I am from above. You are from this world; I am not from this world.

24 Thus 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."

25 So they began to say to him, "Who are you?" Jesus said to them, "{What} I have been saying to you [from] the beginning.

26 I have many [things] to say and to judge concerning you, but the one who sent me is true, and [the things] which I heard from him, these [things] I say to the world."

27 (They did not know that he was speaking to them about the Father.)

28 Then Jesus said, "When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will recognize that I am [he], and I do nothing from myself, but just as the Father taught me, I say these [things].

29 And the one who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone, because I always do the things that are pleasing to him."

30 [While] he was saying these [things], many believed in him.

31 Then Jesus said to those Jews who had believed him, "If you continue in my word you are truly my disciples,

32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."

33 They replied to him, "We are descendants of Abraham and have not been enslaved to anyone at any time. How do you say, 'You will become free'?"

34 Jesus replied to them, "Truly, truly I say to you, that everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin.

35 And the slave does not remain in the household {forever}; the son remains {forever}.

36 So if the son sets you free, you will be truly free.

37 I know that you are descendants of Abraham. But you are seeking to kill me, because my word makes no progress among you.

38 I speak [the things] that I have seen with the Father; so also you do [the things] that you have heard from the Father."

39 They answered and said to him, "Abraham is our father!" Jesus said to them, "If you are children of Abraham, do the deeds of Abraham!

40 But now you are seeking to kill me, a man who spoke to you the truth which I heard from God. This Abraham did not do.

41 You are doing the deeds of your father!" They said<note: Some manuscripts have "Then they said"> to him, "We were not born from sexual immorality! We have one father, God!"

42 Jesus said to them, "If God were your father, you would love me, for I have come forth from God and have come. For I have not come from myself, but that one sent me.

43 {Why} do you not understand my way of speaking? Because you are not able to listen to my message.

44 You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father! That one was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand firm in the truth, because truth is not in him. Whenever he speaks the lie, he speaks from his own [nature], because he is a liar and the father {of lies}.

45 But because I am telling the truth, you do not believe me.

46 Who among you convicts me concerning sin? If I am telling the truth, {why} do you not believe me?

47 The one who is from God listens to the words of God. Because of this you do not listen--because you are not of God."

48 The Jews answered and said to him, "Do we not correctly say that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?"

49 Jesus replied, "I do not have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me!

50 But I do not seek my [own] glory. There is one who seeks and judges!

51 Truly, truly I say to you, if anyone keeps my word, he will never experience death {forever}."

52 The Jews said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon! Abraham and the prophets died, and you say, 'If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste death {forever}.'

53 You are not greater than our father Abraham who died, [are you]? And the prophets died! Who do you make yourself [to be]?"

54 Jesus replied, "If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. The one who glorifies me is my Father, [about] whom you say, 'He is our God.'

55 And you have not known him, but I know him. And if I were to say that I do not know him, I would be a liar like you! But I know him and I keep his word.

56 Abraham your father rejoiced that he would see my day, and he saw [it] and was glad."

57 So the Jews said to him, "{You are} not yet fifty years [old], and have you seen Abraham?"

58 Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly I say to you, before Abraham was, I am!"

59 Then they picked up stones in order to throw [them] at him. But Jesus was hidden and went out of the temple [courts].
