John.8
[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.
