|
|
1 |
Jesus went unto 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. |
|
3 |
And the scribes and
Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set
her in the midst, |
|
4 |
They say unto him,
Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
|
|
5 |
Now Moses in the law
commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
|
|
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. |
|
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 |
And again he stooped
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.
|
|
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?
|
|
11 |
She said, No man,
Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I
condemn thee: go, and sin no 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.
|
|
13 |
The Pharisees
therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not
true.
|
|
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. |
|
15 |
Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man. |
|
16 |
And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I
am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
|
|
17 |
It is also written in your law, that the
testimony of two men is true.
|
|
18 |
I am one that bear witness of myself, and the
Father that sent me beareth witness of 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.
|
|
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.
|
|
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. |
|
22 |
Then said the Jews,
Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye 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.
|
|
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. |
|
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. |
|
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.
|
|
27 |
They understood not
that he spake 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. |
|
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.
|
|
30 |
As he spake these
words, many believed on him. |
|
31 |
Then said Jesus to
those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue
in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; |
|
32 |
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall
make 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? |
|
34 |
Jesus answered them,
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever
committeth sin is the servant of sin.
|
|
35 |
And the servant abideth not in the house for
ever: but the Son abideth ever.
|
|
36 |
If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye
shall be free indeed. |
|
37 |
I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; but ye seek
to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
|
|
38 |
I speak that which I have seen with my Father:
and ye do that which ye have seen with your 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.
|
|
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.
|
|
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. |
|
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.
|
|
43 |
Why do ye not understand my speech? even because
ye cannot 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. |
|
45 |
And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me
not. |
|
46 |
Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say
the truth, why do ye not believe me?
|
|
47 |
He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye
therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
|
|
48 |
Then answered the
Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast
a devil?
|
|
49 |
Jesus answered,
I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and
ye do dishonour me.
|
|
50 |
And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that
seeketh and judgeth.
|
|
51 |
Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my
saying, he shall 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. |
|
53 |
Art thou greater
than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom
makest thou thyself? |
|
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: |
|
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.
|
|
56 |
Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and
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?
|
|
58 |
Jesus said unto
them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before
Abraham was, 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.
