John 8

The Message Bible MSG

1 Jesus went across to Mount Olives,

2 but he was soon back in the Temple again. Swarms of people came to him. He sat down and taught them.

3 The religion scholars and Pharisees led in a woman who had been caught in an act of adultery. They stood her in plain sight of everyone

4 and said, "Teacher, this woman was caught red-handed in the act of adultery.

5 Moses, in the Law, gives orders to stone such persons. What do you say?"

6 They were trying to trap him into saying something incriminating so they could bring charges against him.

7 They kept at him, badgering him. He straightened up and said, "The sinless one among you, go first: Throw the stone."

8 Bending down again, he wrote some more in the dirt.

9 Hearing that, they walked away, one after another, beginning with the oldest. The woman was left alone.

10 Jesus stood up and spoke to her. "Woman, where are they? Does no one condemn you?"

11 "No one, Master." "Neither do I," said Jesus. "Go on your way. From now on, don't sin." You're Missing God in All This

12 Jesus once again addressed them: "I am the world's Light. No one who follows me stumbles around in the darkness. I provide plenty of light to live in."

13 The Pharisees objected, "All we have is your word on this. We need more than this to go on."

14 Jesus replied, "You're right that you only have my word. But you can depend on it being true. I know where I've come from and where I go next. You don't know where I'm from or where I'm headed.

15 You decide according to what you can see and touch. I don't make judgments like that.

16 But even if I did, my judgment would be true because I wouldn't make it out of the narrowness of my experience but in the largeness of the One who sent me, the Father.

17 That fulfills the conditions set down in God's Law: that you can count on the testimony of two witnesses.

18 And that is what you have: You have my word and you have the word of the Father who sent me."

19 They said, "Where is this so-called Father of yours?" Jesus said, "You're looking right at me and you don't see me. How do you expect to see the Father? If you knew me, you would at the same time know the Father."

20 He gave this speech in the Treasury while teaching in the Temple. No one arrested him because his time wasn't yet up.

21 Then he went over the same ground again. "I'm leaving and you are going to look for me, but you're missing God in this and are headed for a dead end. There is no way you can come with me."

22 The Jews said, "So, is he going to kill himself? Is that what he means by 'You can't come with me'?"

23 Jesus said, "You're tied down to the mundane; I'm in touch with what is beyond your horizons. You live in terms of what you see and touch. I'm living on other terms.

24 I told you that you were missing God in all this. You're at a dead end. If you won't believe I am who I say I am, you're at the dead end of sins. You're missing God in your lives."

25 They said to him, "Just who are you anyway?"

26 I have so many things to say that concern you, judgments to make that affect you, but if you don't accept the trustworthiness of the One who commanded my words and acts, none of it matters. That is who you are questioning - not me but the One who sent me."

27 They still didn't get it, didn't realize that he was referring to the Father.

28 So Jesus tried again. "When you raise up the Son of Man, then you will know who I am - that I'm not making this up, but speaking only what the Father taught me.

29 The One who sent me stays with me. He doesn't abandon me. He sees how much joy I take in pleasing him."

30 When he put it in these terms, many people decided to believe.

31 Then Jesus turned to the Jews who had claimed to believe in him. "If you stick with this, living out what I tell you, you are my disciples for sure.

32 Then you will experience for yourselves the truth, and the truth will free you."

33 Surprised, they said, "But we're descendants of Abraham. We've never been slaves to anyone. How can you say, 'The truth will free you'?"

34 Jesus said, "I tell you most solemnly that anyone who chooses a life of sin is trapped in a dead-end life and is, in fact, a slave.

35 A slave is a transient, who can't come and go at will. The Son, though, has an established position, the run of the house.

36 So if the Son sets you free, you are free through and through.

37 I know you are Abraham's descendants. But I also know that you are trying to kill me because my message hasn't yet penetrated your thick skulls.

38 I'm talking about things I have seen while keeping company with the Father, and you just go on doing what you have heard from your father."

39 They were indignant. "Our father is Abraham!"

40 And yet here you are trying to kill me, a man who has spoken to you the truth he got straight from God! Abraham never did that sort of thing.

41 You persist in repeating the works of your father." They said, "We're not bastards. We have a legitimate father: the one and only God."

42 "If God was your father," said Jesus, "you would love me, for I came from God and arrived here. I didn't come on my own. He sent me.

43 Why can't you understand one word I say? Here's why: You can't handle it.

44 You're from your father, the Devil, and all you want to do is please him. He was a killer from the very start. He couldn't stand the truth because there wasn't a shred of truth in him. When the Liar speaks, he makes it up out of his lying nature and fills the world with lies.

45 I arrive on the scene, tell you the plain truth, and you refuse to have a thing to do with me.

46 Can any one of you convict me of a single misleading word, a single sinful act? But if I'm telling the truth, why don't you believe me?

47 Anyone on God's side listens to God's words. This is why you're not listening - because you're not on God's side."

48 The Jews then said, "That clinches it. We were right all along when we called you a Samaritan and said you were crazy - demon-possessed!"

49 Jesus said, "I'm not crazy. I simply honor my Father, while you dishonor me.

50 I am not trying to get anything for myself. God intends something gloriously grand here and is making the decisions that will bring it about.

51 I say this with absolute confidence. If you practice what I'm telling you, you'll never have to look death in the face."

52 At this point the Jews said, "Now we know you're crazy. Abraham died. The prophets died. And you show up saying, 'If you practice what I'm telling you, you'll never have to face death, not even a taste.'

53 Are you greater than Abraham, who died? And the prophets died! Who do you think you are!"

54 Jesus said, "If I turned the spotlight on myself, it wouldn't amount to anything. But my Father, the same One you say is your Father, put me here at this time and place of splendor.

55 You haven't recognized him in this. But I have. If I, in false modesty, said I didn't know what was going on, I would be as much of a liar as you are. But I do know, and I am doing what he says.

56 Abraham - your 'father' - with jubilant faith looked down the corridors of history and saw my day coming. He saw it and cheered."

57 The Jews said, "You're not even fifty years old - and Abraham saw you?"

58 "Believe me," said Jesus, "I am who I am long before Abraham was anything."

59 That did it - pushed them over the edge. They picked up rocks to throw at him. But Jesus slipped away, getting out of the Temple.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 Iesus autem perrexit in montem Oliveti

2 et diluculo iterum venit in templum et omnis populus venit ad eum et sedens docebat eos

3 adducunt autem scribae et Pharisaei mulierem in adulterio deprehensam et statuerunt eam in medio

4 et dixerunt ei magister haec mulier modo deprehensa est in adulterio

5 in lege autem Moses mandavit nobis huiusmodi lapidare tu ergo quid dicis

6 haec autem dicebant temptantes eum ut possent accusare eum Iesus autem inclinans se deorsum digito scribebat in terra

7 cum autem perseverarent interrogantes eum erexit se et dixit eis qui sine peccato est vestrum primus in illam lapidem mittat

8 et iterum se inclinans scribebat in terra

9 audientes autem unus post unum exiebant incipientes a senioribus et remansit solus et mulier in medio stans

10 erigens autem se Iesus dixit ei mulier ubi sunt nemo te condemnavit

11 quae dixit nemo Domine dixit autem Iesus nec ego te condemnabo vade et amplius iam noli peccare

12 iterum ergo locutus est eis Iesus dicens ego sum lux mundi qui sequitur me non ambulabit in tenebris sed habebit lucem vitae

13 dixerunt ergo ei Pharisaei tu de te ipso testimonium perhibes testimonium tuum non est verum

14 respondit Iesus et dixit eis et si ego testimonium perhibeo de me ipso verum est testimonium meum quia scio unde veni et quo vado vos autem nescitis unde venio aut quo vado

15 vos secundum carnem iudicatis ego non iudico quemquam

16 et si iudico ego iudicium meum verum est quia solus non sum sed ego et qui me misit Pater

17 et in lege vestra scriptum est quia duorum hominum testimonium verum est

18 ego sum qui testimonium perhibeo de me ipso et testimonium perhibet de me qui misit me Pater

19 dicebant ergo ei ubi est Pater tuus respondit Iesus neque me scitis neque Patrem meum si me sciretis forsitan et Patrem meum sciretis

20 haec verba locutus est in gazofilacio docens in templo et nemo adprehendit eum quia necdum venerat hora eius

21 dixit ergo iterum eis Iesus ego vado et quaeretis me et in peccato vestro moriemini quo ego vado vos non potestis venire

22 dicebant ergo Iudaei numquid interficiet semet ipsum quia dicit quo ego vado vos non potestis venire

23 et dicebat eis vos de deorsum estis ego de supernis sum vos de mundo hoc estis ego non sum de hoc mundo

24 dixi ergo vobis quia moriemini in peccatis vestris si enim non credideritis quia ego sum moriemini in peccato vestro

25 dicebant ergo ei tu quis es dixit eis Iesus principium quia et loquor vobis

26 multa habeo de vobis loqui et iudicare sed qui misit me verax est et ego quae audivi ab eo haec loquor in mundo

27 et non cognoverunt quia Patrem eis dicebat

28 dixit ergo eis Iesus cum exaltaveritis Filium hominis tunc cognoscetis quia ego sum et a me ipso facio nihil sed sicut docuit me Pater haec loquor

29 et qui me misit mecum est non reliquit me solum quia ego quae placita sunt ei facio semper

30 haec illo loquente multi crediderunt in eum

31 dicebat ergo Iesus ad eos qui crediderunt ei Iudaeos si vos manseritis in sermone meo vere discipuli mei eritis

32 et cognoscetis veritatem et veritas liberabit vos

33 responderunt ei semen Abrahae sumus et nemini servivimus umquam quomodo tu dicis liberi eritis

34 respondit eis Iesus amen amen dico vobis quia omnis qui facit peccatum servus est peccati

35 servus autem non manet in domo in aeternum filius manet in aeternum

36 si ergo Filius vos liberaverit vere liberi eritis

37 scio quia filii Abrahae estis sed quaeritis me interficere quia sermo meus non capit in vobis

38 ego quod vidi apud Patrem loquor et vos quae vidistis apud patrem vestrum facitis

39 responderunt et dixerunt ei pater noster Abraham est dicit eis Iesus si filii Abrahae estis opera Abrahae facite

40 nunc autem quaeritis me interficere hominem qui veritatem vobis locutus sum quam audivi a Deo hoc Abraham non fecit

41 vos facitis opera patris vestri dixerunt itaque ei nos ex fornicatione non sumus nati unum patrem habemus Deum

42 dixit ergo eis Iesus si Deus pater vester esset diligeretis utique me ego enim ex Deo processi et veni neque enim a me ipso veni sed ille me misit

43 quare loquellam meam non cognoscitis quia non potestis audire sermonem meum

44 vos ex patre diabolo estis et desideria patris vestri vultis facere ille homicida erat ab initio et in veritate non stetit quia non est veritas in eo cum loquitur mendacium ex propriis loquitur quia mendax est et pater eius

45 ego autem quia veritatem dico non creditis mihi

46 quis ex vobis arguit me de peccato si veritatem dico quare vos non creditis mihi

47 qui est ex Deo verba Dei audit propterea vos non auditis quia ex Deo non estis

48 responderunt igitur Iudaei et dixerunt ei nonne bene dicimus nos quia Samaritanus es tu et daemonium habes

49 respondit Iesus ego daemonium non habeo sed honorifico Patrem meum et vos inhonoratis me

50 ego autem non quaero gloriam meam est qui quaerit et iudicat

51 amen amen dico vobis si quis sermonem meum servaverit mortem non videbit in aeternum

52 dixerunt ergo Iudaei nunc cognovimus quia daemonium habes Abraham mortuus est et prophetae et tu dicis si quis sermonem meum servaverit non gustabit mortem in aeternum

53 numquid tu maior es patre nostro Abraham qui mortuus est et prophetae mortui sunt quem te ipsum facis

54 respondit Iesus si ego glorifico me ipsum gloria mea nihil est est Pater meus qui glorificat me quem vos dicitis quia Deus noster est

55 et non cognovistis eum ego autem novi eum et si dixero quia non scio eum ero similis vobis mendax sed scio eum et sermonem eius servo

56 Abraham pater vester exultavit ut videret diem meum et vidit et gavisus est

57 dixerunt ergo Iudaei ad eum quinquaginta annos nondum habes et Abraham vidisti

58 dixit eis Iesus amen amen dico vobis antequam Abraham fieret ego sum

59 tulerunt ergo lapides ut iacerent in eum Iesus autem abscondit se et exivit de templo
