1. But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
|
1. G1161 Jesus G2424 went G4198 unto G1519 the G3588 mount G3735 of Olives G1636 .
|
|
2. Early in the morning he came to the temple courts again. All the people came to him, and he sat down and began to teach them.
|
2. And G1161 early in the morning G3722 he came G3854 again G3825 into G1519 the G3588 temple G2411 , and G2532 all G3956 the G3588 people G2992 came G2064 unto G4314 him G846 ; and G2532 he sat down G2523 , and taught G1321 them G846 .
|
|
3. The experts in the law and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught committing adultery. They made her stand in front of them
|
3. And G1161 the G3588 scribes G1122 and G2532 Pharisees G5330 brought G71 unto G4314 him G846 a woman G1135 taken G2638 in G1722 adultery G3430 ; and G2532 when they had set G2476 her G846 in G1722 the midst G3319 ,
|
|
4. and said to Jesus, "Teacher, this woman was caught in the very act of adultery.
|
4. They say G3004 unto him G846 , Master G1320 , this G3778 woman G1135 was taken G2638 in adultery G3431 , in the very act G1888 .
|
|
5. In the law Moses commanded us to stone to death such women. What then do you say?"
|
5. Now G1161 Moses G3475 in G1722 the G3588 law G3551 commanded G1781 us G2254 , that such G5108 should be stoned G3036 : but G3767 what G5101 sayest G3004 thou G4771 ?
|
|
6. (Now they were asking this in an attempt to trap him, so that they could bring charges against him.) Jesus bent down and wrote on the ground with his finger.
|
6. G1161 This G5124 they said G3004 , tempting G3985 him G846 , that G2443 they might have G2192 to accuse G2723 him G846 . But G1161 Jesus G2424 stooped G2955 down G2736 , and with his finger G1147 wrote G1125 on G1519 the G3588 ground G1093 , as though he heard G4364 them not G3361 .
|
|
7. When they persisted in asking him, he stood up straight and replied, "Whoever among you is guiltless may be the first to throw a stone at her."
|
7. So G1161 when G5613 they continued G1961 asking G2065 him G846 , he lifted up G352 himself , and said G2036 unto G4314 them G846 , He that is without sin G361 among you G5216 , let him first G4413 cast G906 a stone G3037 at G1909 her G846 .
|
|
8. Then he bent over again and wrote on the ground.
|
8. And G2532 again G3825 he stooped G2955 down G2736 , and wrote G1125 on G1519 the G3588 ground G1093 .
|
|
9. Now when they heard this, they began to drift away one at a time, starting with the older ones, until Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him.
|
9. And G1161 they which heard G191 it, being G2532 convicted G1651 by G5259 their own conscience G4893 , went out G1831 one by one G1527 , beginning G756 at G575 the G3588 eldest G4245 , even unto G2193 the G3588 last G2078 : and G2532 Jesus G2424 was left G2641 alone G3441 , and G2532 the G3588 woman G1135 standing G2476 in G1722 the midst G3319 .
|
|
10. Jesus stood up straight and said to her, "Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?"
|
10. When G1161 Jesus G2424 had lifted up G352 himself, and G2532 saw G2300 none G3367 but G4133 the G3588 woman G1135 , he said G2036 unto her G846 , Woman G1135 , where G4226 are G1526 those G1565 thine G4675 accusers G2725 ? hath no man G3762 condemned G2632 thee G4571 ?
|
|
11. She replied, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said, "I do not condemn you either. Go, and from now on do not sin any more."
|
11. G1161 She G3588 said G2036 , No man G3762 , Lord G2962 . And G1161 Jesus G2424 said G2036 unto her G846 , Neither G3761 do I G1473 condemn G2632 thee G4571 : go G4198 , and G2532 sin G264 no more G3371 .
|
|
12. Then Jesus spoke out again, "I am the light of the world. The one who follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."
|
12. Then G3767 spake G2980 Jesus G2424 again G3825 unto them G846 , saying G3004 , I G1473 am G1510 the G3588 light G5457 of the G3588 world G2889 : he that followeth G190 me G1698 shall not G3364 walk G4043 in G1722 darkness G4653 , but G235 shall have G2192 the G3588 light G5457 of life G2222 .
|
|
13. So the Pharisees objected, "You testify about yourself; your testimony is not true!"
|
13. The G3588 Pharisees G5330 therefore G3767 said G2036 unto him G846 , Thou G4771 bearest record G3140 of G4012 thyself G4572 ; thy G4675 record G3141 is G2076 not G3756 true G227 .
|
|
14. Jesus answered, "Even if I testify about myself, my testimony is true, because I know where I came from and where I am going. But you people do not know where I came from or where I am going.
|
14. Jesus G2424 answered G611 and G2532 said G2036 unto them G846 , Though G2579 I G1473 bear record G3140 of G4012 myself G1683 , yet my G3450 record G3141 is G2076 true G227 : for G3754 I know G1492 whence G4159 I came G2064 , and G2532 whither G4226 I go G5217 ; but G1161 ye G5210 cannot tell G1492 G3756 whence G4159 I come G2064 , and G2532 whither G4226 I go G5217 .
|
|
15. You people judge by outward appearances; I do not judge anyone.
|
15. Ye G5210 judge G2919 after G2596 the G3588 flesh G4561 ; I G1473 judge G2919 no man G3762 .
|
|
16. But if I judge, my evaluation is accurate, because I am not alone when I judge, but I and the Father who sent me do so together.
|
16. And G2532 yet G1161 if G1437 I G1473 judge G2919 , my G1699 judgment G2920 is G2076 true G227 : for G3754 I am G1510 not G3756 alone G3441 , but G235 I G1473 and G2532 the G3588 Father G3962 that sent G3992 me G3165 .
|
|
17. It is written in your law that the testimony of two men is true.
|
17. It is G2532 also G1161 written G1125 in G1722 your G5212 law G3551 , that G3754 the G3588 testimony G3141 of two G1417 men G444 is G2076 true G227 .
|
|
18. I testify about myself and the Father who sent me testifies about me."
|
18. I G1473 am G1510 one that bear witness G3140 of G4012 myself G1683 , and G2532 the G3588 Father G3962 that G3588 sent G3992 me G3165 beareth witness G3140 of G4012 me G1700 .
|
|
19. Then they began asking him, "Who is your father?" Jesus answered, "You do not know either me or my Father. If you knew me you would know my Father too."
|
19. Then G3767 said G3004 they unto him G846 , Where G4226 is G2076 thy G4675 Father G3962 ? Jesus G2424 answered G611 , Ye neither G3777 know G1492 me G1691 , nor G3777 my G3450 Father G3962 : if G1487 ye had known G1492 me G1691 , ye should have known G1492 G302 my G3450 Father G3962 also G2532 .
|
|
20. (Jesus spoke these words near the offering box while he was teaching in the temple courts. No one seized him because his time had not yet come.)
|
20. These G5023 words G4487 spake G2980 Jesus G2424 in G1722 the G3588 treasury G1049 , as he taught G1321 in G1722 the G3588 temple G2411 : and G2532 no man G3762 laid hands on G4084 him G846 ; for G3754 his G846 hour G5610 was not yet G3768 come G2064 .
|
|
21. Then Jesus said to them again, "I am going away, and you will look for me but will die in your sin. Where I am going you cannot come."
|
21. Then G3767 said G2036 Jesus G2424 again G3825 unto them G846 , I G1473 go my way G5217 , and G2532 ye shall seek G2212 me G3165 , and G2532 shall die G599 in G1722 your G5216 sins G266 : whither G3699 I G1473 go G5217 , ye G5210 cannot G1410 G3756 come G2064 .
|
|
22. So the Jewish leaders began to say, "Perhaps he is going to kill himself, because he says, 'Where I am going you cannot come.'"
|
22. Then G3767 said G3004 the G3588 Jews G2453 , Will G3385 he kill G615 himself G1438 ? because G3754 he saith G3004 , Whither G3699 I G1473 go G5217 , ye G5210 cannot G1410 G3756 come G2064 .
|
|
23. Jesus replied, "You people are from below; I am from above. You people are from this world; I am not from this world.
|
23. And G2532 he said G2036 unto them G846 , Ye G5210 are G2075 from G1537 beneath G2736 ; I G1473 am G1510 from G1537 above G507 : ye G5210 are G2075 of G1537 this G5127 world G2889 ; I G1473 am G1510 not G3756 of G1537 this G5127 world G2889 .
|
|
24. Thus I told you that you will die in your sins. For unless you believe that I am he, you will die in your sins."
|
24. I said G2036 therefore G3767 unto you G5213 , that G3754 ye shall die G599 in G1722 your G5216 sins G266 : for G1063 if G1437 ye believe G4100 not G3361 that G3754 I G1473 am G1510 he, ye shall die G599 in G1722 your G5216 sins G266 .
|
|
25. So they said to him, "Who are you?" Jesus replied, "What I have told you from the beginning.
|
25. Then G3767 said G3004 they unto him G846 , Who G5101 art G1488 thou G4771 ? And G2532 Jesus G2424 saith G2036 unto them G846 , Even G2532 the same that G3748 I said G2980 unto you G5213 from the G3588 beginning G746 .
|
|
26. I have many things to say and to judge about you, but the Father who sent me is truthful, and the things I have heard from him I speak to the world."
|
26. I have G2192 many things G4183 to say G2980 and G2532 to judge G2919 of G4012 you G5216 : but G235 he that sent G3992 me G3165 is G2076 true G227 ; and I G2504 speak G3004 to G1519 the G3588 world G2889 those things G5023 which G3739 I have heard G191 of G3844 him G846 .
|
|
27. (They did not understand that he was telling them about his Father.)
|
27. They understood G1097 not G3756 that G3754 he spake G3004 to them G846 of the G3588 Father G3962 .
|
|
28. Then Jesus said, "When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and I do nothing on my own initiative, but I speak just what the Father taught me.
|
28. Then G3767 said G2036 Jesus G2424 unto them G846 , When G3752 ye have lifted up G5312 the G3588 Son G5207 of man G444 , then G5119 shall ye know G1097 that G3754 I G1473 am G1510 he, and G2532 that I do G4160 nothing G3762 of G575 myself G1683 ; but G235 as G2531 my G3450 Father G3962 hath taught G1321 me G3165 , I speak G2980 these things G5023 .
|
|
29. And the one who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone, because I always do those things that please him."
|
29. And G2532 he that sent G3992 me G3165 is G2076 with G3326 me G1700 : the G3588 Father G3962 hath not G3756 left G863 me G3165 alone G3441 ; for G3754 I G1473 do G4160 always G3842 those things that please G701 him G846 .
|
|
30. While he was saying these things, many people believed in him.
|
30. As he G846 spake G2980 these words G5023 , many G4183 believed G4100 on G1519 him G846 .
|
|
31. Then Jesus said to those Judeans who had believed him, "If you continue to follow my teaching, you are really my disciples
|
31. Then G3767 said G3004 Jesus G2424 to G4314 those Jews G2453 which believed G4100 on him G846 , If G1437 ye G5210 continue G3306 in G1722 my G1699 word G3056 , then are G2075 ye my G3450 disciples G3101 indeed G230 ;
|
|
32. and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
|
32. And G2532 ye shall know G1097 the G3588 truth G225 , and G2532 the G3588 truth G225 shall make you free G1659 G5209 .
|
|
33. "We are descendants of Abraham," they replied, "and have never been anyone's slaves! How can you say, 'You will become free'?"
|
33. They answered G611 him G846 , We be G2070 Abraham G11 's seed G4690 , and G2532 were never in bondage G1398 G4455 to any man G3762 : how G4459 sayest G3004 thou G4771 , Ye shall be made G1096 free G1658 ?
|
|
34. Jesus answered them, "I tell you the solemn truth, everyone who practices sin is a slave of sin.
|
34. Jesus G2424 answered G611 them G846 , Verily G281 , verily G281 , I say G3004 unto you G5213 , Whosoever G3956 committeth G4160 sin G266 is G2076 the servant G1401 of sin G266 .
|
|
35. The slave does not remain in the family forever, but the son remains forever.
|
35. And G1161 the G3588 servant G1401 abideth G3306 not G3756 in G1722 the G3588 house G3614 forever G1519 G165 : but the G3588 Son G5207 abideth G3306 ever G1519 G165 .
|
|
36. So if the son sets you free, you will be really free.
|
36. If G1437 the G3588 Son G5207 therefore G3767 shall make you free G1659 G5209 , ye shall be G2071 free G1658 indeed G3689 .
|
|
37. I know that you are Abraham's descendants. But you want to kill me, because my teaching makes no progress among you.
|
37. I know G1492 that G3754 ye are G2075 Abraham G11 's seed G4690 ; but G235 ye seek G2212 to kill G615 me G3165 , because G3754 my G1699 word G3056 hath no place G5562 G3756 in G1722 you G5213 .
|
|
38. I am telling you the things I have seen while with the Father; as for you, practice the things you have heard from the Father!"
|
38. I G1473 speak G2980 that which G3739 I have seen G3708 with G3844 my G3450 Father G3962 : and G2532 ye G5210 do G4160 that which G3739 ye have G3767 seen G3708 with G3844 your G5216 father G3962 .
|
|
39. They answered him, "Abraham is our father!" Jesus replied, "If you are Abraham's children, you would be doing the deeds of Abraham.
|
39. They answered G611 and G2532 said G2036 unto him G846 , Abraham G11 is G2076 our G2257 father G3962 . Jesus G2424 saith G3004 unto them G846 , If G1487 ye were G2258 Abraham G11 's children G5043 , ye would do G4160 G302 the G3588 works G2041 of Abraham G11 .
|
|
40. But now you are trying to kill me, a man who has told you the truth I heard from God. Abraham did not do this!
|
40. But G1161 now G3568 ye seek G2212 to kill G615 me G3165 , a man G444 that G3739 hath told G2980 you G5213 the G3588 truth G225 , which G3739 I have heard G191 of G3844 God G2316 : this G5124 did G4160 not G3756 Abraham G11 .
|
|
41. You people are doing the deeds of your father." Then they said to Jesus, "We were not born as a result of immorality! We have only one Father, God himself."
|
41. Ye G5210 do G4160 the G3588 deeds G2041 of your G5216 father. Then G3767 G3962 G3767 said G2036 they to him G846 , We G2249 be not G3756 born G1080 of G1537 fornication G4202 ; we have G2192 one G1520 Father G3962 , even God G2316 .
|
|
42. Jesus replied, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I have come from God and am now here. I have not come on my own initiative, but he sent me.
|
42. Jesus G2424 said G2036 unto them G846 , If G1487 God G2316 were G2258 your G5216 Father G3962 , ye would love G25 G302 me G1691 : for G1063 I G1473 proceeded forth G1831 and G2532 came G2240 from G1537 God G2316 G1063 ; neither G3761 came G2064 I of G575 myself G1683 , but G235 he G1565 sent G649 me G3165 .
|
|
43. Why don't you understand what I am saying? It is because you cannot accept my teaching.
|
43. Why G1302 do ye not G3756 understand G1097 my G1699 speech G2981 ? even because G3754 ye cannot G1410 G3756 hear G191 my G1699 word G3056 .
|
|
44. You people are from your father the devil, and you want to do what your father desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not uphold the truth, because there is no truth in him. Whenever he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, because he is a liar and the father of lies.
|
44. Ye G5210 are G2075 of G1537 your father G3962 the G3588 devil G1228 , and G2532 the G3588 lusts G1939 of your G5216 father G3962 ye will G2309 do G4160 . He G1565 was G2258 a murderer G443 from G575 the beginning G746 , and G2532 abode G2476 not G3756 in G1722 the G3588 truth G225 , because G3754 there is G2076 no G3756 truth G225 in G1722 him G846 . When G3752 he speaketh G2980 a lie G5579 , he speaketh G2980 of G1537 his own G2398 : for G3754 he is G2076 a liar G5583 , and G2532 the G3588 father G3962 of it G846 .
|
|
45. But because I am telling you the truth, you do not believe me.
|
45. And G1161 because G3754 I G1473 tell G3004 you the G3588 truth G225 , ye believe G4100 me G3427 not G3756 .
|
|
46. Who among you can prove me guilty of any sin? If I am telling you the truth, why don't you believe me?
|
46. Which G5101 of G1537 you G5216 convinceth G1651 me G3165 of G4012 sin G266 ? And G1161 if G1487 I say G3004 the truth G225 , why G1302 do ye G5210 not G3756 believe G4100 me G3427 ?
|
|
47. The one who belongs to God listens and responds to God's words. You don't listen and respond, because you don't belong to God."
|
47. He that is G5607 of G1537 God G2316 heareth G191 God G2316 's words G4487 : ye G5210 therefore G1223 G5124 hear G191 them not G3756 , because G3754 ye are G2075 not G3756 of G1537 God G2316 .
|
|
48. The Judeans replied, "Aren't we correct in saying that you are a Samaritan and are possessed by a demon?"
|
48. Then G3767 answered G611 the G3588 Jews G2453 , and G2532 said G2036 unto him G846 , Say G3004 we G2249 not G3756 well G2573 that G3754 thou G4771 art G1488 a Samaritan G4541 , and G2532 hast G2192 a devil G1140 ?
|
|
49. Jesus answered, "I am not possessed by a demon, but I honor my Father� and yet you dishonor me.
|
49. Jesus G2424 answered G611 , I G1473 have G2192 not G3756 a devil G1140 ; but G235 I honor G5091 my G3450 Father G3962 , and G2532 ye G5210 do dishonor G818 me G3165 .
|
|
50. I am not trying to get praise for myself. There is one who demands it, and he also judges.
|
50. And G1161 I G1473 seek G2212 not G3756 mine own G3450 glory G1391 : there is G2076 one that seeketh G2212 and G2532 judgeth G2919 .
|
|
51. I tell you the solemn truth, if anyone obeys my teaching, he will never see death."
|
51. Verily G281 , verily G281 , I say G3004 unto you G5213 , If G1437 a man G5100 keep G5083 my G1699 saying G3056 , he shall never G3364 G1519 G165 see G2334 death G2288 .
|
|
52. Then the Judeans responded, "Now we know you're possessed by a demon! Both Abraham and the prophets died, and yet you say, 'If anyone obeys my teaching, he will never experience death.'
|
52. Then G3767 said G2036 the G3588 Jews G2453 unto him G846 , Now G3568 we know G1097 that G3754 thou hast G2192 a devil G1140 . Abraham G11 is dead G599 , and G2532 the G3588 prophets G4396 ; and G2532 thou G4771 sayest G3004 , If G1437 a man G5100 keep G5083 my G3450 saying G3056 , he shall never G3364 G1519 G165 taste G1089 of death G2288 .
|
