| 8:1 |
Jesus went unto the mount of Olives. |
|
|
|
| 8:2 |
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. |
|
|
|
| 8:3 |
And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, |
|
|
|
| 8:4 |
They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. |
|
|
|
| 8:5 |
Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? |
|
|
|
| 8:6 |
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. |
|
|
|
| 8:7 |
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. |
|
|
|
| 8:8 |
And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. |
|
|
|
| 8:9 |
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. |
|
|
|
| 8:10 |
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? |
|
|
|
| 8:11 |
She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more. |
|
|
|
| 8:12 |
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. |
|
|
|
| 8:13 |
The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true. |
|
|
|
| 8:14 |
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. |
|
|
|
| 8:15 |
Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man. |
|
|
|
| 8:16 |
And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me. |
|
|
|
| 8:17 |
It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true. |
|
|
|
| 8:18 |
I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me. |
|
|
|
| 8:19 |
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. |
|
|
|
| 8:20 |
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. |
|
|
|
| 8:21 |
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. |
|
|
|
| 8:22 |
Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come. |
|
|
|
| 8:23 |
And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world. |
|
|
|
| 8:24 |
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. |
|
|
|
| 8:25 |
Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning. |
|
|
|
| 8:26 |
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. |
|
|
|
| 8:27 |
They understood not that he spake to them of the Father. |
|
|
|
| 8:28 |
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. |
|
|
|
| 8:29 |
And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him. |
|
|
|
| 8:30 |
As he spake these words, many believed on him. |
|
|
|
| 8:31 |
Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; |
|
|
|
| 8:32 |
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. |
|
|
|
| 8:33 |
They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? |
|
|
|
| 8:34 |
Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. |
|
|
|
| 8:35 |
And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever. |
|
|
|
| 8:36 |
If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. |
|
|
|
| 8:37 |
I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you. |
|
|
|
| 8:38 |
I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father. |
|
|
|
| 8:39 |
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. |
|
|
|
| 8:40 |
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. |
|
|
|
| 8:41 |
Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God. |
|
|
|
| 8:42 |
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. |
|
|
|
| 8:43 |
Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. |
|
|
|
| 8:44 |
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. |
|
|
|
| 8:45 |
And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not. |
|
|
|
| 8:46 |
Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me? |
|
|
|
| 8:47 |
He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God. |
|
|
|
| 8:48 |
Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil? |
|
|
|
| 8:49 |
Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me. |
|
|
|
| 8:50 |
And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth. |
|
|
|
| 8:51 |
Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death. |
|
|
|
| 8:52 |
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. |
|
|
|
| 8:53 |
Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself? |
|
|
|
| 8:54 |
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: |
|
|
|
| 8:55 |
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. |
|
|
|
| 8:56 |
Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. |
|
|
|
| 8:57 |
Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? |
|
|
|
| 8:58 |
Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. |
|
|
|
| 8:59 |
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. |
