\v 1 \f + \ft See the note about John 7:53-8:11 above \f* Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
|
|
\v 2 Early in the morning he came again to the temple, and all the people came to him; he sat down and taught them.
|
|
\v 3 The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman caught in the act of adultery. They placed her in the center.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 4 \f + \ft See the note about John 7:53-8:11 above \f* Then they said to Jesus, "Teacher, this woman has been caught in adultery, in the very act.
|
|
\v 5 Now in the law, Moses commanded us to stone such persons; what do you say about her?"
|
|
\v 6 They said this in order to trap him so that they might have something to accuse him about, but Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 7 \f + \ft See the note about John 7:53-8:11 above \f* When they continued asking him, he stood up and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her."
|
|
\v 8 Again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground with his finger.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 9 \f + \ft See the note about John 7:53-8:11 above \f* When they heard it, they went out one by one, beginning with the oldest. Finally Jesus was left alone, with the woman who had been in their midst.
|
|
\v 10 Jesus stood up and said to her, "Woman, where are your accusers? Did no one condemn you?"
|
|
\v 11 She said, "No one, Lord." Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you. Go your way; from now on sin no more."]
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 12 Again Jesus spoke to the people saying, "I am the light of the world; he who follows me will not walk in the darkness but will have the light of life."
|
|
\v 13 The Pharisees said to him, "You bear witness about yourself; your witness is not true."
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 14 Jesus answered and said to them, "Even if I bear witness about myself, my witness is true. I know from where I came and where I am going, but you do not know from where I came or where I am going.
|
|
\v 15 You judge after the flesh; I judge no one.
|
|
\v 16 Yet if I judge, my judgment is true because I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 17 Yes, and in your law it is written that the testimony of two men is true.
|
|
\v 18 I am he who bears witness about myself, and the Father who sent me bears witness about me."
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 19 They said to him, "Where is your father?" Jesus answered, "You know neither me nor my Father; if you knew me, you would know my Father also."
|
|
\v 20 He said these words near the treasury as he taught in the temple, and no one arrested him because his hour had not yet come.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 21 He said again to them, "I am going away; you will seek me and will die in your sin. Where I am going, you cannot come."
|
|
\v 22 The Jews said, "Will he kill himself, he who said, 'Where I am going, you cannot come'?"
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 23 Jesus said to them, "You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.
|
|
\v 24 Therefore, I said to you that you will die in your sins. For unless you believe that I AM, you will die in your sins."
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 25 They said therefore to him, "Who are you?" Jesus said to them, "What I have said to you from the beginning.
|
|
\v 26 I have many things to speak and to judge about you. However, he who sent me is true; and the things that I heard from him, these things I say to the world."
|
|
\v 27 They did not understand that he was speaking to them about the Father.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 28 Jesus said, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then will you know that I AM, and that I do nothing of myself. As the Father taught me, I speak these things.
|
|
\v 29 He who sent me is with me, and he has not left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him."
|
|
\v 30 As Jesus was saying these things, many believed in him.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 31 Jesus said to those Jews that had believed him, "If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples;
|
|
\v 32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
|
|
\v 33 They answered him, "We are Abraham's descendants and have never yet been in bondage to anyone; how can you say, 'You will be made free'?"
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 34 Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin.
|
|
\v 35 The slave does not remain in the house permanently; the son remains permanently.
|
|
\v 36 Therefore, if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 37 I know that you are Abraham's descendants; you seek to kill me because my word has no place in you.
|
|
\v 38 I say the things that I have seen with my Father, and you also do the things that you heard from your father."
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 39 They answered and said to him, "Our father is Abraham." Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham.
|
|
\v 40 Yet, now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham did not do this.
|
|
\v 41 You do the works of your father." They said to him, "We were not born in sexual immorality; we have one Father, God."
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 42 Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I proceeded and have come from God; for neither have I come of myself, but he sent me.
|
|
\v 43 Why do you not understand my words? It is because you cannot bear to hear my words.
|
|
\v 44 You are of your father, the devil, and you wish to do the lusts of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature because he is a liar and the father of lies.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 45 Yet, because I speak the truth, you do not believe me.
|
|
\v 46 Which one of you convicts me of sin? If I speak the truth, why do you not believe me?
|
|
\v 47 He who is of God hears the words of God; you do not hear them because you are not of God."
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 48 The Jews answered and said to him, "Do we not truly say that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?"
|
|
\v 49 Jesus answered, "I do not have a demon; but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 50 I do not seek my own glory; there is one who seeks and judges.
|
|
\v 51 Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death."
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 52 The Jews said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham and the prophets died; but you say, 'If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste death.'
|
|
\v 53 You are not greater than our father Abraham who died, are you? The prophets also died. Who do you make yourself out to be?"
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 54 Jesus answered, "If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing; it is my Father who glorifies me—about whom you say that he is your God.
|
|
\v 55 You have not known him, but I know him. If I should say, 'I do not know him,' I would be like you, a liar. However, I know him and keep his word.
|
|
\v 56 Your father Abraham rejoiced at seeing my day; he saw it and was glad."
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 57 The Jews said to him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?"
|
|
\v 58 Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I AM."
|
|
\v 59 Then they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple.
