Early in the morning He went
back
into the temple courts.
All the people came to
Him ,
and He sat down to
teach
them.
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.
The scribes and Pharisees ,
however,
brought
to
Him
a woman caught
in adultery .
They
made
her stand
before
them
And
the scribes and the
Pharisees bring
a woman taken
in adultery ;
and
having
set
her in
the
midst,
and
said
, “
Teacher, this woman was
caught
in the act of
adultery
.
they
say
unto
him
, Teacher, this woman hath
been
taken
in adultery,
in
the very
act.
In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such a
woman.
So
what do
You
say
? ”
Now
in the law Moses commanded us to stone such :
what then
sayest
thou
of
her
?
They said this
to
test
Him, in
order
to
have a
basis
for
accusing
Him. But Jesus bent
down and began
to
write
on
the
ground
with His finger.
And
this
they said ,
trying
him, that
they
might
have `whereof'
to
accuse
him. But Jesus stooped
down ,
and with his finger wrote
on
the
ground
.
When they continued to
question
Him, He straightened
up and said to
them, “Let
him
who
is without sin among you be
the
first to
cast a stone at her. ”
But
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.
And again He bent
down and wrote on the ground.
And again he stooped
down ,
and with
his
finger
wrote on the ground.
When they heard this
, they
began
to
go
away
one by one, beginning with
the older
ones
, until
only
Jesus was left, with
the woman standing
there
.
And
they,
when they heard it
, went
out
one by one, beginning from
the eldest
, `even'
unto
the
last:
and
Jesus was left alone
, and
the woman ,
where
she
was,
in
the
midst
.
Then
Jesus straightened
up and asked
her, “
Woman, where are your
accusers
? Has
no one
condemned
you
? ”
And
Jesus lifted
up himself,
and said
unto
her, Woman, where are they
? did
no man
condemn
thee
?
“
No one
, Lord ,”
she
answered
. “Then
neither do I condemn you,”
Jesus
declared.
“Now
go and
sin no more. ”
And
she
said,
No man
, Lord. And
Jesus
said,
Neither do I condemn thee:
go thy
way;
from
henceforth
sin no more.
Once
again ,
Jesus spoke
to
the
people
and
said
, “
I am the light of the world .
Whoever
follows
Me will
never
walk in the darkness, but will
have the light of life. ”
Again therefore
Jesus spake
unto
them
, saying,
I am the light of the world :
he
that
followeth
me shall
not
walk in the darkness, but shall
have the light of life.
So
the Pharisees said to
Him, “You
are
testifying
about
Yourself
; Your
testimony
is not valid
. ”
The Pharisees therefore
said unto
him, Thou
bearest
witness
of
thyself
; thy
witness
is not true
.
Jesus replied
, “
Even if I testify
about
Myself, My testimony
is valid,
because
I know where
I came from
and where
I am
going.
But you
do
not
know where
I came
from
or where
I am
going
.
Jesus answered
and
said
unto
them
, Even if I bear
witness
of
myself, my witness
is true;
for
I know whence
I came ,
and whither
I go;
but ye
know not
whence
I come,
or whither
I go
.
You
judge according
to
the flesh; I judge no one
.
Ye
judge after
the flesh; I judge no man
.
But
even
if I do
judge, My judgment is true ,
because
I am not alone ;
I am
with
the Father who
sent Me.
Yea
and
if I judge, my judgment is true ;
for
I am not alone ,
but
I and
the Father that
sent me.
Even
in your own
Law it is written that the testimony
of two men is valid
.
Yea
and
in your law it is written ,
that the witness
of two men is true
.
I am One
who
testifies
about
Myself, and the Father ,
who
sent Me ,
also
testifies
about
Me. ”
I am he
that
beareth
witness
of
myself, and the Father that
sent me beareth
witness
of
me.
“
Where is Your
Father? ”
they
asked
Him.
“You
do
not
know Me or
My Father ,”
Jesus
answered.
“
If you
knew Me, you
would know My Father as
well
. ”
They
said
therefore
unto
him,
Where is thy
Father? Jesus
answered,
Ye
know neither
me ,
nor
my Father :
if ye
knew me, ye
would know my Father also
.
He
spoke
these words while
teaching
in the temple
courts
, near
the treasury.
Yet
no one
seized
Him ,
because His hour had
not yet come.
These words spake
he
in the treasury
, as
he
taught
in
the temple:
and
no man
took
him ;
because his hour was
not yet come.
Again
He said to
them, “
I am
going
away, and you
will
look
for
Me, but
you
will
die in your sin .
Where
I am
going
, you
cannot come. ”
He said therefore
again
unto
them, I go
away, and ye
shall
seek
me, and
shall
die in your sin :
whither
I go
, ye
cannot come.
So
the Jews began
to
ask
, “
Will He kill Himself, since
He says
, ‘Where
I am
going
, you
cannot come ’
? ”
The Jews therefore
said
, Will he kill himself, that
he saith
, Whither
I go
, ye
cannot come?
Then
He told
them, “You
are from below
; I am from above .
You
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.
That
is
why
I told
you that you
would
die in your sins .
For unless
you
believe that I am He, you
will
die in your sins. ”
I said
therefore
unto
you ,
that ye
shall
die in your sins :
for except
ye
believe that I am `
he '
, ye
shall
die in your sins.
“
Who are
You
? ”
they
asked.
“Just
what
I have been
telling
you from the beginning ,”
Jesus
replied
.
They
said
therefore
unto
him,
Who art
thou
? Jesus
said
unto
them,
Even
that
which
I have also
spoken
unto
you from the beginning.
“
I have much
to say
about
you
and much
to judge .
But
the
One
who
sent Me is truthful,
and what
I have
heard from Him, I tell
the world. ”
I have many
things
to speak
and to judge concerning
you:
howbeit
he
that
sent me is true;
and the
things
which
I heard from him, these
speak
I unto
the world.
They did
not understand
that He was
telling
them about
the Father.
They perceived
not that he spake
to
them of
the Father.
So
Jesus said, “
When you
have lifted up the Son of Man, then you
will
know that I am He, and that I do nothing on
My
own
, but speak
exactly
what
the Father has
taught Me.
Jesus therefore
said, 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
the Father taught me ,
I
speak
these
things
.
He who
sent Me is with Me .
He has
not left Me alone ,
because
I always
do what
pleases
Him. ”
And
he that
sent me is with me ;
he hath
not left me alone ;
for
I do always
the
things
that
are
pleasing
to
him.
As Jesus
spoke
these things, many believed in
Him.
As he
spake
these things, many believed on
him.
So
He
said to the
Jews who
had believed Him, “
If you
continue
in My word, you
are truly My disciples .
Jesus
therefore
said to those
Jews that
had believed him, If ye
abide
in my word, `then'
are ye
truly my disciples ;
Then
you
will
know the truth, and the truth will
set
you free. ”
and
ye
shall
know the truth, and the truth shall
make
you free.
“We
are
Abraham’s
descendants,”
they answered .
“
We have never been slaves
to anyone.
How can
You
say
we
will
be set
free? ”
They answered unto
him,
We are
Abraham's
seed,
and
have never yet
been in
bondage
to any
man:
how sayest
thou,
Ye
shall
be made
free?
Jesus replied
, “Truly
, truly
, I tell
you, everyone
who
sins
is a
slave
to
sin.
Jesus answered
them
, Verily
, verily
, I say
unto
you, Every
one
that
committeth
sin
is the
bondservant
of
sin.
A
slave
is
not a
permanent
member
of
the family,
but
a
son belongs
to
it
forever
.
And
the
bondservant
abideth
not in
the house
for
ever:
the
son abideth
for
ever
.
So
if the Son sets
you free, you
will
be free indeed.
If therefore
the Son shall
make
you free, ye
shall
be free indeed.
I know you
are
Abraham’s
descendants,
but
you
are trying
to kill Me because My word has
no
place
within
you.
I know that
ye
are Abraham's
seed:
yet
ye
seek
to kill me ,
because my word hath
not
free
course
in
you.
I speak of
what
I have seen in
the
presence
of
the
Father ,
and you
do what
you
have
heard from your father. ”
I speak the
things
which
I have seen with
`my'
Father :
and ye
also
do the
things
which
ye
heard from `
your '
father.
“Abraham
is
our father ,”
they
replied
. “
If you
were children of
Abraham
, ”
said
Jesus,
“you
would do the works of Abraham.
They
answered
and
said
unto
him,
Our father is
Abraham
. Jesus
saith
unto
them,
If ye
were Abraham's
children, ye
would do the works of Abraham.
But now you
are
trying
to kill Me, a man who
has
told you the truth that
I heard from God .
Abraham
never
did such
a
thing
.
But now ye
seek
to kill me, a man that
hath
told you the truth ,
which
I heard from God :
this
did not
Abraham
.
You
are
doing
the works of your father. ”
“
We are
not illegitimate
children,”
they
declared.
“Our
only
Father is
God Himself
. ”
Ye
do
the works of your father. They
said
unto
him,
We were
not born
of
fornication;
we
have
one
Father ,
`even'
God.
Jesus said to
them, “
If God were your Father, you
would love Me ,
for I have
come here
from God .
I
have not
come on
My
own
, but He sent Me.
Jesus said unto
them, If God were your Father, ye
would love me :
for I came
forth
and
am
come from God ;
for
neither
have I
come of
myself
, but he sent me.
Why do you
not understand what
I
am
saying
? It
is
because you
are
unable
to
accept
My message
.
Why do ye
not understand my
speech
? `Even'
because ye
cannot
hear
my word
.
You
belong
to
your father ,
the devil, and you
want
to carry
out
his
desires
. He was a murderer from the beginning, refusing
to
uphold
the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies
, he speaks
his native
language,
because
he is a liar and the father of
lies
.
Ye
are
of
`
your '
father the devil, and the
lusts
of
your
father
it
is
your
will
to do
. He was a murderer from the beginning, and
standeth
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 thereof
.
But because I speak
the truth, you
do
not
believe Me !
But because I say
the truth, ye
believe me not.
Which of you can
prove
Me guilty
of sin? If I speak
the
truth, why do you
not believe Me?
Which of you convicteth
me of sin? If I say
truth, why do ye
not believe me?
Whoever
belongs
to
God hears
the words of God .
The
reason
you
do
not
hear is
that
you
do
not belong
to
God. ”
He
that
is
of
God heareth
the words of God :
for
this
cause
ye
hear `them'
not ,
because
ye
are
not
of
God.
The Jews answered Him, “Are
we not right
to
say
that You
are
a Samaritan and You
have
a demon? ”
The Jews answered and
said
unto
him, Say
we not well
that thou
art
a Samaritan ,
and hast
a demon?
“
I do
not
have a demon ,”
Jesus
replied,
“
but I honor My Father, and you
dishonor Me.
Jesus
answered,
I have not
a demon ;
but I honor my Father, and ye
dishonor me.
I do
not
seek My
own glory .
There is One who
seeks
it,
and He
is
the
Judge
.
But
I seek not
mine
own glory :
there is one that
seeketh
and judgeth
.
Truly
, truly
, I tell
you, if anyone
keeps
My word, he will
never see death. ”
Verily
, verily
, I say
unto
you, If a
man
keep
my word, he shall
never see death.
“
Now we know that You
have
a demon !”
declared
the
Jews
. “
Abraham died, and so
did
the prophets, yet
You
say
that
anyone
who
keeps
Your
word will
never taste death.
The
Jews
said
unto
him,
Now we know that thou
hast
a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets ;
and
thou
sayest
, If
a
man
keep
my
word ,
he
shall
never taste of
death.
Are
You
greater than our father Abraham ?
He
died
, as
did
the prophets .
Who
do
You
claim
to
be
? ”
Art
thou
greater than our father Abraham, who
died?
and
the prophets died:
whom
makest
thou
thyself
?
Jesus answered, “
If I glorify Myself, My glory means
nothing .
The
One
who
glorifies
Me
is My Father ,
of whom you
say ‘
He is our
God .’
Jesus answered, If I glorify myself, my glory is
nothing :
it
is my Father that
glorifieth
me;
of whom ye
say ,
that
he is your
God ;
You
do
not know
Him ,
but I know Him .
If I said
I did
not
know Him, I would
be a
liar
like you .
But I do
know Him, and I
keep His word.
and
ye
have
not known
him :
but I know him ;
and
if I should
say,
I know him not
, I shall
be like unto
you ,
a
liar:
but I know him, and keep his word.
Your father Abraham rejoiced that
he
would
see My day .
He saw it and was glad. ”
Your father Abraham rejoiced to
see my day ;
and
he saw it ,
and was glad.
Then
the Jews said to
Him, “You
are
not yet fifty years old, and You
have
seen Abraham? ”
The Jews therefore
said unto
him, Thou
art
not yet fifty years old, and hast
thou
seen Abraham?
“Truly
, truly
, I tell
you, ”
Jesus
declared,
“
before Abraham was born, I am !”
Jesus
said
unto
them
, Verily
, verily,
I say
unto
you, Before Abraham was born, I am .
At
this,
they picked
up stones to throw
at Him .
But Jesus was
hidden
and went out of the temple area
.
They took
up stones therefore
to cast
at him :
but Jesus hid
himself,
and went out of the temple.
