| 1 וְיֵשׁוּעַ הָלַךְ אֶל־הַר הַזֵּיתִים | 1 But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. |
| 2 וַיְהִי בַבֹּקֶר וַיָּבֹא עוֹד אֶל־הַמִּקְדָּשׁ וְכָל־הָעָם בָּאוּ אֵלָיו וַיֵּשֶׁב וַיְלַמְּדֵם | 2 Early in the morning he came again to the temple; all the people came to him, and he sat down and taught them. |
| 3 וַיָּבִיאוּ הַסּוֹפְרִים וְהַפְּרוּשִׁים אִשָּׁה לְפָנָיו אֲשֶׁר נִתְפְּשָׂה בִּשְׂטוֹתָהּ וַיַּעֲמִידוּהָ בַּתָּוֶךְ | 3 The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery, and placing her in the midst |
| 4 וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו רַבִּי הָאִשָּׁה הַזֹּאת נִתְפְּשָׂה כְּשֶׁנִּטְמֵאת בְּנִאוּפֶיהָ | 4 they said to him, "Teacher, this woman has been caught in the act of adultery. |
| 5 וּמשֶׁה צִוָּנוּ בַתּוֹרָה לִסְקֹל נָשִׁים כָּאֵלֶּה וְאַתָּה מַה־תֹּאמֵר | 5 Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such. What do you say about her?" |
| 6 וְאַךְ לְנַסּוֹת אֹתוֹ דִּבְּרוּ־זֹאת לִמְצֹא עָלָיו שִׂטְנָה וַיִּכַּף יֵשׁוּעַ לְמַטָּה וַיְתָו בְּאֶצְבָּעוֹ עַל־הַקַּרְקַע כְּאֵינוֹ שֹׁמֵעַ | 6 This they said to test him, that they might have some charge to bring against him. Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground. |
| 7 וַיְהִי כַּאֲשֶׁר הוֹסִיפוּ לִשְׁאֹל אֹתוֹ וַיִּשָׂא אֶת־עֵינָיו וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם מִי בָכֶם זַךְ בְּלִי־פֶשַׁע הוּא רִאשׁוֹנָה יַדֶּה־בָּהּ אָבֶן | 7 And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, "Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her." |
| 8 וַיִּכַּף שֵׁנִית לְמַטָּה וַיְתָו עַל־הַקַּרְקַע | 8 And once more he bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground. |
| 9 וַיְהִי כְשָׁמְעָם וַיַּךְ לִבָּם אֹתָם וַיֵּצְאוּ אֶחָד אֶחָד הַחוּצָה הָחֵל מִן־הַזְּקֵנִים וְעַד הָאַחֲרוֹנִים וַיִּוָּתֵר יֵשׁוּעַ לְבַדּוֹ וְהָאִשָּׁה נִצֶּבֶת בַּתָּוֶךְ | 9 But when they heard it, they went away, one by one, beginning with the eldest, and Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him. |
| 10 וַיִּשָּׂא יֵשׁוּעַ אֶת־עֵינָיו וַיַּרְא כִּי־אֵין אִישׁ בִּלְתִּי הָאִשָּׁה לְבַדָּהּ וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלֶיהָ אִשָּׁה אֵיפֹה שׂטְנַיִךְ הֲכִי הִרְשִׁיעָךְ אִישׁ | 10 Jesus looked up and said to her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?" |
| 11 וַתֹּאמֶר לֹא אֲדֹנִי וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלֶיהָ יֵשׁוּעַ לָכֵן גַּם־אֲנִי לֹא אַרְשִׁיעֵךְ לְכִי לְדַרְכֵּךְ וְאַל־תֶּחֶטְאִי עוֹד | 11 She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you; go, and do not sin again." |
| 12 וַיֹּסֶף יֵשׁוּעַ וַיְדַבֵּר אֲלֵיהֶם לֵאמֹר אֲנִי אוֹר הָעוֹלָם כָּל־הַהֹלֵךְ אַחֲרַי לֹא יִתְהַלֵּךְ בַּחֲשֵׁכָה כִּי־אוֹר הַחַיִּים יִהְיֶה־לּוֹ | 12 Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world; he who follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." |
| 13 וַיֹּאמְרוּ הַפְּרוּשִׁים עַל־נַפְשְׁךָ מֵעִיד אָתָּה עֵדוּתְךָ אֵינֶנָּה נֶאֱמָנָה | 13 The Pharisees then said to him, "You are bearing witness to yourself; your testimony is not true." |
| 14 וַיַּעַן יֵשׁוּעַ וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם אַף אִם־אָעִיד עַל־נַפְשִׁי עֵדוּתִי נֶאֱמָנָה יַעַן כִּי־יָדַעְתִּי מֵאַיִן בָּאתִי וְאָנָה אֲנִי הֹלֵךְ וְאַתֶּם לֹא יְדַעְתֶּם מֵאַיִן בָּאתִי וְאָנָה אֵלֵךְ | 14 Jesus answered, "Even if I do bear witness to myself, my testimony is true, for I know whence I have come and whither I am going, but you do not know whence I come or whither I am going. |
| 15 אַתֶּם לְפִי הַבָּשָׂר תִּשְׁפֹּטוּ וַאֲנִי לֹא אֶשְׁפֹּט אִישׁ | 15 You judge according to the flesh, I judge no one. |
| 16 וְאִם־אָנֹכִי אֶשְׁפֹּט מִשְׁפָּטִי אֱמֶת כִּי לֹא לְבַדִּי הִנֵּנִי כִּי אִם־אֲנִי וְהָאָב אֲשֶׁר שְׁלָחָנִי | 16 Yet even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for it is not I alone that judge, but I and he who sent me. |
| 17 וְגַם בְּתוֹרַתְכֶם כָּתוּב כִּי עֵדוּת שְׁנֵי אֲנָשִׁים נֶאֱמָנָה הִיא | 17 In your law it is written that the testimony of two men is true; |
| 18 אֲנִי הוּא הַמֵּעִיד עָלָי וְגַם־הָאָב אֲשֶׁר שְׁלָחַנִי יְעִידֵנִי | 18 I bear witness to myself, and the Father who sent me bears witness to me." |
| 19 וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו אַיּוֹ אָבִיךָ וַיַּעַן יֵשׁוּעַ גַּם־אֹתִי גַּם אֶת־אָבִי לֹא יְדַעְתֶּם אִלּוּ אֹתִי יְדַעְתֶּם כִּי עַתָּה גַּם אֶת־אָבִי יְדַעְתֶּם | 19 They said to him therefore, "Where is your Father?" Jesus answered, "You know neither me nor my Father; if you knew me, you would know my Father also." |
| 20 כַּדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה דִּבֶּר יֵשׁוּעַ בְּבֵית הָאוֹצָר בְּלַמְּדוֹ בַּמִּקְדָּשׁ וְלֹא־תְפָשֹוֹ אִישׁ כִּי לֹא־בָא עִתּוֹ | 20 These words he spoke in the treasury, as he taught in the temple; but no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come. |
| 21 וַיּוֹסֶף יֵשׁוּעַ וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם אֲנִי הֹלֵךְ מִזֶּה וּתְבַקְשׁוּנִי וּבְחַטַּאתְכֶם תָּמוּתוּ אֶל־אֲשֶׁר אֲנִי הֹלֵךְ שָׁמָּה אַתֶּם לֹא־תוּכְלוּ לָבוֹא | 21 Again he said to them, "I go away, and you will seek me and die in your sin; where I am going, you cannot come." |
| 22 וַיֹּאמְרוּ הַיְּהוּדִים הֶהָמֵת יָמִית אֶת־נַפְשׁוֹ כִּי אָמַר אֶל־אֲשֶׁר אֲנִי הוֹלֵךְ שָׁמָּה אַתֶּם לֹא־תוּכְלוּ לָבוֹא | 22 Then said the Jews, "Will he kill himself, since he says, 'Where I am going, you cannot come'?" |
| 23 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם אַתֶּם הִנְּכֶם מֵאֲשֶׁר לְמַטָּה וַאֲנִי מֵאֲשֶׁר לְמָעְלָה אַתֶּם מִן־הָעוֹלָם הַזֶּה וַאֲנִי אֵינֶנִּי מִן־הָעוֹלָם הַזֶּה | 23 He said to them, "You are from below, I am from above; you are of this world, I am not of this world. |
| 24 לָכֵן אָמַרְתִּי אֲלֵיכֶם כִּי תָמוּתוּ בַּחֲטָאֵיכֶם כִּי אִם־לֹא תַאֲמִינוּ כִּי־אֲנִי הוּא בַּחֲטָאֵיכֶם תָּמוּתוּ | 24 I told you that you would die in your sins, for you will die in your sins unless you believe that I am he." |
| 25 וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו מִי־זֶה אָתָּה וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם יֵשׁוּעַ מַה־שֶּׁגַּם מֵרֹאשׁ דִּבַּרְתִּי אֲלֵיכֶם | 25 They said to him, "Who are you?" Jesus said to them, "Even what I have told you from the beginning. |
| 26 רַבּוֹת עִמִּי לְדַבֵּר וְלִשְׁפֹּט עֲלֵיכֶם אָכֵן שֹׁלְחִי נֶאֱמָן הוּא וַאֲשֶׁר שָׁמַעְתִּי מִמֶּנּוּ אֹתוֹ אֲנִי מְדַבֵּר אֶל־הָעוֹלָם | 26 I have much to say about you and much to judge; but he who sent me is true, and I declare to the world what I have heard from him." |
| 27 וְהֵם לֹא הֵבִינוּ כִּי עַל־הָאָב אָמַר אֲלֵיהֶם | 27 They did not understand that he spoke to them of the Father. |
| 28 אָז אָמַר לָהֶם יֵשׁוּעַ בְּעֵת תְּנַשְּׂאוּ אֶת־בֶּן־הָאָדָם וִידַעְתֶּם כִּי־אֲנִי הוּא וְכִי אֵינֶנִּי עֹשֶׂה דָבָר מִנַּפְשִׁי כִּי אִם־כַּאֲשֶׁר לִמְּדַנִי אָבִי אֵלֶּה אֲדַבֵּר | 28 So Jesus said, "When you have lifted up the Son of man, then you will know that I am he, and that I do nothing on my own authority but speak thus as the Father taught me. |
| 29 וַאֲשֶׁר שָׁלַח אֹתִי הוּא עִמָּדִי הָאָב לֹא עֲזָבַנִי לְבָדָד כִּי אֶת־הַטּוֹב בְּעֵינָיו אֲנִי עֹשֶׂה תָּמִיד | 29 And he who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, for I always do what is pleasing to him." |
| 30 וַיְהִי בְּדַבְּרוֹ זֹאת וַיַּאֲמִינוּ בוֹ רַבִּים | 30 As he spoke thus, many believed in him. |
| 31 וַיֹּאמֶר יֵשׁוּעַ אֶל־הַיְּהוּדִים הַמַּאֲמִינִים בּוֹ אִם־תַּעַמְדוּ בִּדְבָרִי בֶּאֱמֶת תַּלְמִידַי אַתֶּם | 31 Jesus then said to the Jews who had believed in him, "If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples, |
| 32 וִידַעְתֶּם אֶת־הָאֱמֶת וְהָאֱמֶת תְּשִׂימְכֶם לִבְנֵי חוֹרִין | 32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free." |
| 33 וַיַּעֲנוּ אֹתוֹ זֶרַע אַבְרָהָם אֲנַחְנוּ וּמֵעוֹלָם לֹא־הָיִינוּ לְאִישׁ לַעֲבָדִים אֵיכָה תֹאמַר בְּנֵי חוֹרִין תִּהְיוּ | 33 They answered him, "We are descendants of Abraham, and have never been in bondage to any one. How is it that you say, 'You will be made free'?" |
| 34 וַיַּעַן אֹתָם יֵשׁוּעַ אָמֵן אָמֵן אֲנִי אֹמֵר לָכֶם כָּל־עֹשֶׂה חֵטְא עֶבֶד הַחֵטְא הוּא | 34 Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, every one who commits sin is a slave to sin. |
| 35 וְהָעֶבֶד לֹא־יִשְׁכֹּן בַּבַּיִת לְעוֹלָם הַבֵּן יִשְׁכֹּן לְעוֹלָם | 35 The slave does not continue in the house for ever; the son continues for ever. |
| 36 לָכֵן אִם־הַבֵּן יַעֲשֶׂה אֶתְכֶם בְּנֵי חוֹרִין חָפְשִׁים בֶּאֱמֶת תִּהְיוּ | 36 So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed. |
| 37 יָדַעְתִּי כִּי־זֶרַע אַבְרָהָם אַתֶּם אֲבָל אַתֶּם מְבַקְשִׁים לַהֲמִיתֵנִי כִּי דְבָרִי לֹא־יִכֹּן בְּתוֹכְכֶם | 37 I know that you are descendants of Abraham; yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you. |
| 38 אֲנִי מְדַבֵּר אֵת אֲשֶׁר רָאִיתִי אֵצֶל אָבִי וְאַתֶּם עֹשִׂים אֵת אֲשֶׁר רְאִיתֶם אֵצֶל אֲבִיכֶם | 38 I speak of what I have seen with my Father, and you do what you have heard from your father." |
| 39 וַיַּעֲנוּ וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו אָבִינוּ הוּא אַבְרָהָם וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם יֵשׁוּעַ אִלּוּ הֱיִיתֶם בְּנֵי אַבְרָהָם כְּמַעֲשֵׂי אַבְרָהָם עֲשִׂיתֶם | 39 They answered him, "Abraham is our father." Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would do what Abraham did, |
| 40 וְעַתָּה אַתֶּם מְבַקְשִׁים לַהֲמִיתֵנִי אִישׁ דֹּבֵר אֲלֵיכֶם הָאֱמֶת אֲשֶׁר שָׁמַעְתִּי מֵעִם הָאֱלֹהִים אַבְרָהָם לֹא עָשָׂה כָּזֹאת | 40 but now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God; this is not what Abraham did. |
| 41 אֶת־מַעֲשֵׂי אֲבִיכֶם אַתֶּם עֹשִׂים וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו לֹא יַלְדֵי זְנוּנִים אֲנַחְנוּ יֵשׁ־לָנוּ אָב אֶחָד הוּא הָאֱלֹהִים | 41 You do what your father did." They said to him, "We were not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God." |
| 42 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם יֵשׁוּעַ אִלּוּ אֱלֹהִים הוּא אֲבִיכֶם כִּי־עַתָּה אֲהַבְתֶּם אֹתִי כִּי אָנֹכִי יָצָאתִי וּבָאתִי מֵאֵת הָאֱלֹהִים הֵן לֹא־מִמֶּנִּי בָאתִי אַךְ־הוּא שְׁלָחָנִי | 42 Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I proceeded and came forth from God; I came not of my own accord, but he sent me. |
| 43 מַדּוּעַ לֹא תָבִינוּ לְשׁוֹנִי יַעַן לֹא־תוּכְלוּ לִשְׁמֹעַ אֶת־דְּבָרִי | 43 Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to hear my word. |
| 44 אַתֶּם מִן־אֲבִיכֶם הַשָּׂטָן וְלַעֲשֹוֹת אֶת־תַּאֲוֹת אֲבִיכֶם חֲפַצְתֶּם הוּא רוֹצֵחַ־נֶפֶשׁ הָיָה מֵרֹאשׁ וּבָאֱמֶת לֹא עָמָד כִּי אֱמֶת אֵין־בּוֹ מִדֵּי דַבְּרוֹ כָזָב מִשֶּׁלּוֹ יְדַבֵּר כִּי־כֹזֵב הוּא וַאֲבִי הַכָּזָב | 44 You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies. |
| 45 וַאֲנִי יַעַן דַּבְּרִי הָאֱמֶת לֹא תַאֲמִינוּ לִי | 45 But, because I tell the truth, you do not believe me. |
| 46 מִי בָכֶם עַל־עָוֺן יוֹכִיחֵנִי וְאִם־אֱמֶת דִּבַּרְתִּי מַדּוּעַ לֹא־תַאֲמִינוּ לִי | 46 Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me? |
| 47 אֲשֶׁר מֵאֵת הָאֱלֹהִים הוּא יִשְׁמַע אֶת־דִּבְרֵי הָאֱלֹהִים עַל־כֵּן אַתֶּם לֹא שְׁמַעְתֶּם כִּי אֵינְכֶם מֵאֵת הָאֱלֹהִים | 47 He who is of God hears the words of God; the reason why you do not hear them is that you are not of God." |
| 48 אָז יַעֲנוּ הַיְּהוּדִים וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו הֲלֹא הֵטַבְנוּ אֲשֶׁר דִּבַּרְנוּ כִּי שֹׁמְרוֹנִי אַתָּה וְשֵׁד בָּךְ | 48 The Jews answered him, "Are we not right in saying that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?" |
| 49 וַיַּעַן יֵשׁוּעַ שֵׁד אֵין־בִּי רַק אֶת־אָבִי אֲנִי מְכַבֵּד וְאַתֶּם תִּבְזוּנִי | 49 Jesus answered, "I have not a demon; but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me. |
| 50 אָכֵן לֹא אֲבַקֵּשׁ אֶת־כְּבוֹדִי יֵשׁ אֶחָד אֲשֶׁר יְבַקֵּשׁ וְיִשְׁפֹּט | 50 Yet I do not seek my own glory; there is One who seeks it and he will be the judge. |
| 51 אָמֵן אָמֵן אֲנִי אֹמֵר לָכֶם אִם־יִשְׁמֹר אִישׁ אֶת־דְּבָרִי לֹא יִרְאֶה־מָּוֶת לָנֶצַח | 51 Truly, truly, I say to you, if any one keeps my word, he will never see death." |
| 52 וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו הַיְּהוּדִים עַתָּה יָדַעְנוּ כִּי־שֵׁד בָּךְ הֵן אַבְרָהָם וְהַנְּבִיאִים מֵתוּ וְאַתָּה אָמַרְתָּ אִם־יִשְׁמֹר אִישׁ אֶת־דְּבָרִי לֹא יִטְעַם־מָוֶת לָנֶצַח | 52 The Jews said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, as did the prophets; and you say, 'If any one keeps my word, he will never taste death.' |
| 53 הַאַתָּה גָדוֹל מֵאַבְרָהָם אָבִינוּ אֲשֶׁר מֵת גַּם־הַנְּבִיאִים מֵתוּ מַה־תַּעֲשֶׂה אֶת־עַצְמֶךָ | 53 Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? And the prophets died! Who do you claim to be?" |
| 54 וַיַּעַן יֵשׁוּעַ אִם־אֲנִי מְכַבֵּד אֶת־נַפְשִׁי כְּבוֹדִי מֵאָיִן אָבִי הוּא הַמְכַבֵּד אֹתִי אֲשֶׁר תֹּאמְרוּ עָלָיו כִּי הוּא אֱלֹהֵיכֶם | 54 Jesus answered, "If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing; it is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say that he is your God. |
| 55 וְלֹא יְדַעְתֶּם אֹתוֹ וַאֲנִי יְדַעְתִּיו וְאִם־אֹמַר לֹא יָדַעְתִּי אֹתוֹ אֶהְיֶה כֹזֵב כְּמוֹכֶם אֲבָל יְדַעְתִּיו וְאֶת־דְּבָרוֹ שָׁמָרְתִּי | 55 But you have not known him; I know him. If I said, I do not know him, I should be a liar like you; but I do know him and I keep his word. |
| 56 אַבְרָהָם אֲבִיכֶם שָׂשׂ לִרְאוֹת אֶת־יוֹמִי וַיַּרְא וַיִּשְׂמָח | 56 Your father Abraham rejoiced that he was to see my day; he saw it and was glad." |
| 57 וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו הַיְּהוּדִים הִנֵּה אֵינְךָ בֶּן־חֲמִשִּׁים שָׁנָה וְאֶת־אַבְרָהָם רָאִיתָ | 57 The Jews then said to him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?" |
| 58 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם יֵשׁוּעַ אָמֵן אָמֵן אֲנִי אֹמֵר לָכֶם בְּטֶרֶם הֱיוֹת אַבְרָהָם אֲנִי הוּא | 58 Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am." |
| 59 אָז יָרִימוּ אֲבָנִים לִרְגֹּם אֹתוֹ וְיֵשׁוּעַ הִסְתַּתֵּר מִפְּנֵיהֶם וַיֵּצֵא מִן־הַמִּקְדָּשׁ וַיַּעֲבֹר בְּתוֹכָם עָבוֹר וְחָלוֹף | 59 So they took up stones to throw at him; but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple. |
