|
8:1 |
|
Jesus went unto
the mount of
Olives. |
|
8:2 |
|
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. |
|
8:3 |
|
And the scribes
and Pharisees
brought unto him
a woman taken in
adultery; and
when they had
set her in the
midst, |
|
8:4 |
|
They say unto
him, Master,
this woman was
taken in
adultery, in the
very act. |
|
8:5 |
|
Now Moses in the
law commanded
us, that such
should be
stoned: but what
sayest thou? |
|
8:6 |
|
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. |
|
8:7 |
|
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. |
|
8:8 |
|
And again he
stooped down,
and wrote on the
ground. |
|
8:9 |
|
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. |
|
8:10 |
|
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? |
|
8:11 |
|
She said, No
man, Lord. And
Jesus said unto
her, Neither do
I condemn thee:
go, and sin no
more. |
|
8:12 |
|
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. |
|
8:13 |
|
The Pharisees
therefore said
unto him, Thou
bearest record
of thyself; thy
record is not
true. |
|
8:14 |
|
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. |
|
8:15 |
|
Ye judge after
the flesh; I
judge no man. |
|
8:16 |
|
And yet if I
judge, my
judgment is
true: for I am
not alone, but I
and the Father
that sent me. |
|
8:17 |
|
It is also
written in your
law, that the
testimony of two
men is true. |
|
8:18 |
|
I am one that
bear witness of
myself, and the
Father that sent
me beareth
witness of me. |
|
8:19 |
|
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. |
|
8:20 |
|
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. |
|
8:21 |
|
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. |
|
8:22 |
|
Then said the
Jews, Will he
kill himself?
because he saith,
Whither I go, ye
cannot come. |
|
8:23 |
|
And he said unto
them, Ye are
from beneath; I
am from above:
ye are of this
world; I am not
of this world. |
|
8:24 |
|
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. |
|
8:25 |
|
Then said they
unto him, Who
art thou? And
Jesus saith unto
them, Even the
same that I said
unto you from
the beginning. |
|
8:26 |
|
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. |
|
8:27 |
|
They understood
not that he
spake to them of
the Father. |
|
8:28 |
|
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. |
|
8:29 |
|
And he that sent
me is with me:
the Father hath
not left me
alone; for I do
always those
things that
please him. |
|
8:30 |
|
As he spake
these words,
many believed on
him. |
|
8:31 |
|
Then said Jesus
to those Jews
which believed
on him, If ye
continue in my
word, then are
ye my disciples
indeed; |
|
8:32 |
|
And ye shall
know the truth,
and the truth
shall make you
free. |
|
8:33 |
|
They answered
him, We be
Abraham's seed,
and were never
in bondage to
any man: how
sayest thou, Ye
shall be made
free? |
|
8:34 |
|
Jesus answered
them, Verily,
verily, I say
unto you,
Whosoever
committeth sin
is the servant
of sin. |
|
8:35 |
|
And the servant
abideth not in
the house for
ever: but the
Son abideth
ever. |
|
8:36 |
|
If the Son
therefore shall
make you free,
ye shall be free
indeed. |
|
8:37 |
|
I know that ye
are Abraham's
seed; but ye
seek to kill me,
because my word
hath no place in
you. |
|
8:38 |
|
I speak that
which I have
seen with my
Father: and ye
do that which ye
have seen with
your father. |
|
8:39 |
|
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. |
|
8:40 |
|
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. |
|
8:41 |
|
Ye do the deeds
of your father.
Then said they
to him, We be
not born of
fornication; we
have one Father,
even God. |
|
8:42 |
|
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. |
|
8:43 |
|
Why do ye not
understand my
speech? even
because ye
cannot hear my
word. |
|
8:44 |
|
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. |
|
8:45 |
|
And because I
tell you the
truth, ye
believe me not. |
|
8:46 |
|
Which of you
convinceth me of
sin? And if I
say the truth,
why do ye not
believe me? |
|
8:47 |
|
He that is of
God heareth
God's words: ye
therefore hear
them not,
because ye are
not of God. |
|
8:48 |
|
Then answered
the Jews, and
said unto him,
Say we not well
that thou art a
Samaritan, and
hast a devil? |
|
8:49 |
|
Jesus answered,
I have not a
devil; but I
honour my
Father, and ye
do dishonour me. |
|
8:50 |
|
And I seek not
mine own glory:
there is one
that seeketh and
judgeth. |
|
8:51 |
|
Verily, verily,
I say unto you,
If a man keep my
saying, he shall
never see death. |
|
8:52 |
|
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. |
|
8:53 |
|
Art thou greater
than our father
Abraham, which
is dead? and the
prophets are
dead: whom
makest thou
thyself? |
|
8:54 |
|
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: |
|
8:55 |
|
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. |
|
8:56 |
|
Your father
Abraham rejoiced
to see my day:
and he saw it,
and was glad. |
|
8:57 |
|
Then said the
Jews unto him,
Thou art not yet
fifty years old,
and hast thou
seen Abraham? |
|
8:58 |
|
Jesus said unto
them, Verily,
verily, I say
unto you, Before
Abraham was, I
am. |
|
8:59 |
|
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. |
