But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. |
2
|
Now early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people came to Him; and He sat down and taught them. |
3
|
Then the scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. And when they had set her in the midst, |
4
|
they said to Him, "Teacher, this woman was caught in adultery, in the very act. |
5
|
"Now Moses, in the law, commanded us that such should be stoned. But what do You say?" |
6
|
This they said, testing Him, that they might have [something] of which to accuse Him. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with [His] finger, as though He did not hear. |
7
|
So when they continued asking Him, He raised Himself up and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first." |
8
|
And again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. |
9
|
Then those who heard [it,] being convicted by [their] conscience, went out one by one, beginning with the oldest [even] to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. |
10
|
When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, "Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?" |
11
|
She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said to her, "Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more." |
12
|
Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, "I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life." |
13
|
The Pharisees therefore said to Him, "You bear witness of Yourself; Your witness is not true." |
14
|
Jesus answered and said to them, "Even if I bear witness of Myself, My witness is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from and where I am going. |
15
|
"You judge according to the flesh; I judge no one. |
16
|
"And yet if I do judge, My judgment is true; for I am not alone, but I [am] with the Father who sent Me. |
17
|
"It is also written in your law that the testimony of two men is true. |
18
|
"I am One who bears witness of Myself, and the Father who sent Me bears witness of Me." |
19
|
Then they said to Him, "Where is Your Father?" Jesus answered, "You know neither Me nor My Father. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also." |
20
|
These words Jesus spoke in the treasury, as He taught in the temple; and no one laid hands on Him, for His hour had not yet come. |
21
|
Then Jesus said to them again, "I am going away, and you will seek Me, and will die in your sin. Where I go you cannot come." |
22
|
So the Jews said, "Will He kill Himself, because He says, 'Where I go you cannot come'?" |
23
|
And He said to them, "You are from beneath; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world. |
24
|
"Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am [He,] you will die in your sins." |
25
|
Then they said to Him, "Who are You?" And Jesus said to them, "Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning. |
26
|
"I have many things to say and to judge concerning you, but He who sent Me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I heard from Him." |
27
|
They did not understand that He spoke to them of the Father. |
28
|
Then Jesus said to them, "When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am [He,] and [that] I do nothing of Myself; but as My Father taught Me, I speak these things. |
29
|
"And He who sent Me is with Me. The Father has not left Me alone, for I always do those things that please Him." |
30
|
As He spoke these words, many believed in Him. |
31
|
Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, "If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. |
32
|
"And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." |
33
|
They answered Him, "We are Abraham's descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How [can] you say, 'You will be made free'?" |
34
|
Jesus answered them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. |
35
|
"And a slave does not abide in the house forever, [but] a son abides forever. |
36
|
"Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed. |
37
|
" I know that you are Abraham's descendants, but you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you. |
38
|
"I speak what I have seen with My Father, and you do what you have seen with your father." |
39
|
They answered and said to Him, "Abraham is our father." Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham. |
40
|
"But now you seek to kill Me, a Man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham did not do this. |
41
|
"You do the deeds of your father." Then they said to Him, "We were not born of fornication; we have one Father -- God." |
42
|
Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and came from God; nor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me. |
43
|
"Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word. |
44
|
"You are of [your] father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. 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 [resources,] for he is a liar and the father of it. |
45
|
"But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me. |
46
|
"Which of you convicts Me of sin? And if I tell the truth, why do you not believe Me? |
47
|
"He who is of God hears God's words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God." |
48
|
Then the Jews answered and said to Him, "Do we not say rightly that You are a Samaritan and have a demon?" |
49
|
Jesus answered, "I do not have a demon; but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me. |
50
|
"And I do not seek My [own] glory; there is One who seeks and judges. |
51
|
"Most assuredly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he shall never see death." |
52
|
Then the Jews said to Him, "Now we know that You have a demon! Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and You say, 'If anyone keeps My word he shall never taste death.' |
53
|
"Are You greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? And the prophets are dead. Whom do You make Yourself out to be?" |
54
|
Jesus answered, "If I honor Myself, My honor is nothing. It is My Father who honors Me, of whom you say that He is your God. |
55
|
"Yet you have not known Him, but I know Him. And if I say, 'I do not know Him,' I shall be a liar like you; but I do know Him and keep His word. |
56
|
"Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw [it] and was glad." |
57
|
Then the Jews said to Him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?" |
58
|
Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM." |
59
|
Then they took up stones to throw at Him; but Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by. |
