Book 43 John Chapter 008
  | |
| 008:001 | Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.   |
| 008:002 | 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.   |
| 008:003 | And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,   |
| 008:004 | They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.   |
| 008:005 | Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?   |
| 008:006 | 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.   |
| 008:007 | 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.   |
| 008:008 | And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.   |
| 008:009 | 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.   |
| 008:010 | 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?   |
| 008:011 | She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.   |
| 008:012 | 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.   |
| 008:013 | The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true.   |
| 008:014 | 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.   |
| 008:015 | Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.   |
| 008:016 | And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.   |
| 008:017 | It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.   |
| 008:018 | I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.   |
| 008:019 | 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.   |
| 008:020 | 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.   |
| 008:021 | 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.   |
| 008:022 | Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.   |
| 008:023 | And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.   |
| 008:024 | 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.   |
| 008:025 | Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.   |
| 008:026 | 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.   |
| 008:027 | They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.   |
| 008:028 | 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.   |
| 008:029 | And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.   |
| 008:030 | As he spake these words, many believed on him.   |
| 008:031 | Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;   |
| 008:032 | And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.   |
| 008:033 | They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?   |
| 008:034 | Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.   |
| 008:035 | And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.   |
| 008:036 | If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.   |
| 008:037 | I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.   |
| 008:038 | I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.   |
| 008:039 | 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.   |
| 008:040 | 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.   |
| 008:041 | Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.   |
| 008:042 | 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.   |
| 008:043 | Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.   |
| 008:044 | 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.   |
| 008:045 | And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.   |
| 008:046 | Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?   |
| 008:047 | He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.   |
| 008:048 | Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?   |
| 008:049 | Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me.   |
| 008:050 | And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.   |
| 008:051 | Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.   |
| 008:052 | 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.   |
| 008:053 | Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?   |
| 008:054 | 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:   |
| 008:055 | 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.   |
| 008:056 | Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.   |
| 008:057 | Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?   |
| 008:058 | Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.   |
| 008:059 | 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. |
