| 1 Jesus went unto the mount of Olives. | 1 while Jesus went to 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. | 2 But early in the morning he arrived again in the temple area, and all the people started coming to 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, | 3 Then the scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery and made her stand in the middle. |
| 4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. | 4 They said to him, "Teacher, this woman was caught in the very act of committing adultery. |
| 5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? | 5 Now in the law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. So what do you say?" |
| 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. | 6 They said this to test him, so that they could have some charge to bring against him. Jesus bent down and began to write on the ground with his finger. |
| 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. | 7 But when they continued asking him, he straightened up and said to them, "Let the one among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her." |
| 8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. | 8 Again he bent 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. | 9 And in response, they went away one by one, beginning with the elders. So he was left alone with the woman before him. |
| 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? | 10 Then Jesus straightened up and said to her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?" |
| 11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more. | 11 She replied, "No one, sir." Then Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you. Go, (and) from now on do not sin any 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. | 12 Jesus spoke to them again, saying, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." |
| 13 The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true. | 13 So the Pharisees said to him, "You testify on your own behalf, so your testimony cannot be verified." |
| 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. | 14 Jesus answered and said to them, "Even if I do testify on my own behalf, my testimony can be verified, because I know where I came from and where I am going. But you do not know where I come from or where I am going. |
| 15 Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man. | 15 You judge by appearances, but I do not judge anyone. |
| 16 And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me. | 16 And even if I should judge, my judgment is valid, because I am not alone, but it is I and the Father who sent me. |
| 17 It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true. | 17 Even in your law it is written that the testimony of two men can be verified. |
| 18 I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me. | 18 I testify on my behalf and so does the Father who sent 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. | 19 So 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." |
| 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. | 20 He spoke these words while teaching in the treasury in the temple area. But no one arrested him, because his hour had 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. | 21 He said to them again, "I am going away and you will look for me, but you will die in your sin. Where I am going you cannot come." |
| 22 Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come. | 22 So the Jews said, "He is not going to kill himself, is he, because he said, 'Where I am going you 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. | 23 He said to them, "You belong to what is below, I belong to what is above. You belong to this world, but I do not belong to 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. | 24 That is why I told you that you will die in your sins. For if you do not believe that I AM, you will 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. | 25 So they said to him, "Who are you?" Jesus said to them, "What I told 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. | 26 I have much to say about you in condemnation. But the one who sent me is true, and what I heard from him I tell the world." |
| 27 They understood not that he spake to them of the Father. | 27 They did not realize that he was speaking 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. | 28 So Jesus said (to them), "When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will realize that I AM, and that I do nothing on my own, but I say only what the Father taught me. |
| 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. | 29 The one who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone, because I always do what is pleasing to him." |
| 30 As he spake these words, many believed on him. | 30 Because he spoke this way, many came to believe in him. |
| 31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; | 31 Jesus then said to those Jews who believed in him, "If you remain in my word, you will truly be my disciples, |
| 32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. | 32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will set 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? | 33 They answered him, "We are descendants of Abraham and have never been enslaved to anyone. How can you say, 'You will become free'?" |
| 34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. | 34 Jesus answered them, "Amen, amen, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin. |
| 35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever. | 35 A slave does not remain in a household forever, but a son always remains. |
| 36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. | 36 So if a son frees you, then you will truly be free. |
| 37 I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you. | 37 I know that you are descendants of Abraham. But you are trying to kill me, because my word has no room among you. |
| 38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father. | 38 I tell you what I have seen in the Father's presence; then do what you have heard from the 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. | 39 They answered and said to him, "Our father is Abraham." Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would be doing 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. | 40 But now you are trying to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God; Abraham did not do this. |
| 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. | 41 You are doing the works of your father!" (So) they said to him, "We are not illegitimate. We have one Father, 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. | 42 Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and am here; I did not come on my own, but he sent me. |
| 43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. | 43 Why do you not understand what I am saying? Because you cannot bear to 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. | 44 You belong to your father the devil and you willingly carry out your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in truth, because there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he speaks in character, because he is a liar and the father of lies. |
| 45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not. | 45 But because I speak the truth, you do not believe me. |
| 46 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me? | 46 Can any of you charge me with sin? If I am telling the truth, why do you not believe me? |
| 47 He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God. | 47 Whoever belongs to God hears the words of God; for this reason you do not listen, because you do not belong to God." |
| 48 Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil? | 48 The Jews answered and said to him, "Are we not right in saying that you are a Samaritan and are possessed?" |
| 49 Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me. | 49 Jesus answered, "I am not possessed; I honor my Father, but you dishonor me. |
| 50 And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth. | 50 I do not seek my own glory; there is one who seeks it and he is the one who judges. |
| 51 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death. | 51 Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever keeps my word will 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. | 52 (So) the Jews said to him, "Now we are sure that you are possessed. Abraham died, as did the prophets, yet you say, 'Whoever keeps my word will never taste death.' |
| 53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself? | 53 Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? Or the prophets, who died? Who do you make yourself out to be?" |
| 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: | 54 Jesus answered, "If I glorify myself, my glory is worth nothing; but it is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say, 'He is our 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. | 55 You do not know him, but I know him. And if I should say that I do not know him, I would be like you a liar. But I do know him and I keep his word. |
| 56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. | 56 Abraham your father rejoiced to see my day; 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? | 57 So the Jews said to him, "You are not yet fifty years old and you have seen Abraham?" |
| 58 Jesus said unto them, Verily,verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. | 58 Jesus said to them, "Amen, amen, I say to you, before Abraham came to be, 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. | 59 So they picked up stones to throw at him; but Jesus hid and went out of the temple area. |
