1. (*Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
|
1. G1161 Jesus G2424 went G4198 unto G1519 the G3588 mount G3735 of Olives G1636 .
|
|
2. Early in the morning He went back to the house of God and all the people came to Him. He sat down and taught them.
|
2. And G1161 early in the morning G3722 he came G3854 again G3825 into G1519 the G3588 temple G2411 , and G2532 all G3956 the G3588 people G2992 came G2064 unto G4314 him G846 ; and G2532 he sat down G2523 , and taught G1321 them G846 .
|
|
3. The teachers of the Law and the proud religious law-keepers came to Him. They brought a woman who had been caught doing a sex sin. They made her stand in front of them all.
|
3. And G1161 the G3588 scribes G1122 and G2532 Pharisees G5330 brought G71 unto G4314 him G846 a woman G1135 taken G2638 in G1722 adultery G3430 ; and G2532 when they had set G2476 her G846 in G1722 the midst G3319 ,
|
|
4. Then they said to Jesus, "Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of doing a sex sin.
|
4. They say G3004 unto him G846 , Master G1320 , this G3778 woman G1135 was taken G2638 in adultery G3431 , in the very act G1888 .
|
|
5. Moses told us in the Law to throw stones and kill a woman like this. What do You say about it?"
|
5. Now G1161 Moses G3475 in G1722 the G3588 law G3551 commanded G1781 us G2254 , that such G5108 should be stoned G3036 : but G3767 what G5101 sayest G3004 thou G4771 ?
|
|
6. They were trying to set a trap to find something against Him. Jesus got down and began to write in the dust with His finger.
|
6. G1161 This G5124 they said G3004 , tempting G3985 him G846 , that G2443 they might have G2192 to accuse G2723 him G846 . But G1161 Jesus G2424 stooped G2955 down G2736 , and with his finger G1147 wrote G1125 on G1519 the G3588 ground G1093 , as though he heard G4364 them not G3361 .
|
|
7. They kept on asking Him. Then He stood up and said, "Anyone of you who is without sin can throw the first stone at her."
|
7. So G1161 when G5613 they continued G1961 asking G2065 him G846 , he lifted up G352 himself , and said G2036 unto G4314 them G846 , He that is without sin G361 among you G5216 , let him first G4413 cast G906 a stone G3037 at G1909 her G846 .
|
|
8. Again He got down and wrote in the dust.
|
8. And G2532 again G3825 he stooped G2955 down G2736 , and wrote G1125 on G1519 the G3588 ground G1093 .
|
|
9. When they heard what He said, they went away one by one, beginning with the older ones until they were all gone. Then Jesus was left alone with the woman.
|
9. And G1161 they which heard G191 it, being G2532 convicted G1651 by G5259 their own conscience G4893 , went out G1831 one by one G1527 , beginning G756 at G575 the G3588 eldest G4245 , even unto G2193 the G3588 last G2078 : and G2532 Jesus G2424 was left G2641 alone G3441 , and G2532 the G3588 woman G1135 standing G2476 in G1722 the midst G3319 .
|
|
10. Jesus stood up and said to her, "Woman, where are those who spoke against you? Has no man said you are guilty?"
|
10. When G1161 Jesus G2424 had lifted up G352 himself, and G2532 saw G2300 none G3367 but G4133 the G3588 woman G1135 , he said G2036 unto her G846 , Woman G1135 , where G4226 are G1526 those G1565 thine G4675 accusers G2725 ? hath no man G3762 condemned G2632 thee G4571 ?
|
|
11. She said, "No one, Sir." Jesus said to her, "Neither do I say you are guilty. Go on your way and do not sin again.")
|
11. G1161 She G3588 said G2036 , No man G3762 , Lord G2962 . And G1161 Jesus G2424 said G2036 unto her G846 , Neither G3761 do I G1473 condemn G2632 thee G4571 : go G4198 , and G2532 sin G264 no more G3371 .
|
|
12. Jesus spoke to all the people, saying, "I am the Light of the world. Anyone who follows Me will not walk in darkness. He will have the Light of Life."
|
12. Then G3767 spake G2980 Jesus G2424 again G3825 unto them G846 , saying G3004 , I G1473 am G1510 the G3588 light G5457 of the G3588 world G2889 : he that followeth G190 me G1698 shall not G3364 walk G4043 in G1722 darkness G4653 , but G235 shall have G2192 the G3588 light G5457 of life G2222 .
|
|
13. The proud religious law-keepers said to Him, "You are talking about Yourself. What You say about Yourself is not true."
|
13. The G3588 Pharisees G5330 therefore G3767 said G2036 unto him G846 , Thou G4771 bearest record G3140 of G4012 thyself G4572 ; thy G4675 record G3141 is G2076 not G3756 true G227 .
|
|
14. Jesus said, "Even if I speak of Myself, what I am saying is true. I know where I came from and where I am going. You do not know where I came from or where I am going.
|
14. Jesus G2424 answered G611 and G2532 said G2036 unto them G846 , Though G2579 I G1473 bear record G3140 of G4012 myself G1683 , yet my G3450 record G3141 is G2076 true G227 : for G3754 I know G1492 whence G4159 I came G2064 , and G2532 whither G4226 I go G5217 ; but G1161 ye G5210 cannot tell G1492 G3756 whence G4159 I come G2064 , and G2532 whither G4226 I go G5217 .
|
|
15. You say as a man would say if people are guilty or not guilty. I am not saying anyone is guilty.
|
15. Ye G5210 judge G2919 after G2596 the G3588 flesh G4561 ; I G1473 judge G2919 no man G3762 .
|
|
16. But even if I did, it would be true. I am not alone. The Father Who sent Me is with Me.
|
16. And G2532 yet G1161 if G1437 I G1473 judge G2919 , my G1699 judgment G2920 is G2076 true G227 : for G3754 I am G1510 not G3756 alone G3441 , but G235 I G1473 and G2532 the G3588 Father G3962 that sent G3992 me G3165 .
|
|
17. It is written in your Law that when two men agree about something, it proves it is true. (Deuteronomy 19:15)
|
17. It is G2532 also G1161 written G1125 in G1722 your G5212 law G3551 , that G3754 the G3588 testimony G3141 of two G1417 men G444 is G2076 true G227 .
|
|
18. I speak for Myself and the Father Who sent Me speaks for Me."
|
18. I G1473 am G1510 one that bear witness G3140 of G4012 myself G1683 , and G2532 the G3588 Father G3962 that G3588 sent G3992 me G3165 beareth witness G3140 of G4012 me G1700 .
|
|
19. The proud religious law-keepers asked Him, "Where is Your Father?" Jesus said, "You do not know Me or My Father. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also."
|
19. Then G3767 said G3004 they unto him G846 , Where G4226 is G2076 thy G4675 Father G3962 ? Jesus G2424 answered G611 , Ye neither G3777 know G1492 me G1691 , nor G3777 my G3450 Father G3962 : if G1487 ye had known G1492 me G1691 , ye should have known G1492 G302 my G3450 Father G3962 also G2532 .
|
|
20. Jesus spoke these words near the money box while He taught in the house of God. No one put his hands on Jesus because His time had not yet come.
|
20. These G5023 words G4487 spake G2980 Jesus G2424 in G1722 the G3588 treasury G1049 , as he taught G1321 in G1722 the G3588 temple G2411 : and G2532 no man G3762 laid hands on G4084 him G846 ; for G3754 his G846 hour G5610 was not yet G3768 come G2064 .
|
|
21. Jesus spoke to the Jews again, saying, "I am going away. You will look for Me but you will die in your sins. Where I am going, you cannot come."
|
21. Then G3767 said G2036 Jesus G2424 again G3825 unto them G846 , I G1473 go my way G5217 , and G2532 ye shall seek G2212 me G3165 , and G2532 shall die G599 in G1722 your G5216 sins G266 : whither G3699 I G1473 go G5217 , ye G5210 cannot G1410 G3756 come G2064 .
|
|
22. The Jews said, "Will He kill Himself because He said, 'Where I am going you cannot come'?"
|
22. Then G3767 said G3004 the G3588 Jews G2453 , Will G3385 he kill G615 himself G1438 ? because G3754 he saith G3004 , Whither G3699 I G1473 go G5217 , ye G5210 cannot G1410 G3756 come G2064 .
|
|
23. He answered them, "You are from below. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world.
|
23. And G2532 he said G2036 unto them G846 , Ye G5210 are G2075 from G1537 beneath G2736 ; I G1473 am G1510 from G1537 above G507 : ye G5210 are G2075 of G1537 this G5127 world G2889 ; I G1473 am G1510 not G3756 of G1537 this G5127 world G2889 .
|
|
24. That is why I said that you will die in your sins. If you do not believe that I am the Christ, you will die in your sins."
|
24. I said G2036 therefore G3767 unto you G5213 , that G3754 ye shall die G599 in G1722 your G5216 sins G266 : for G1063 if G1437 ye believe G4100 not G3361 that G3754 I G1473 am G1510 he, ye shall die G599 in G1722 your G5216 sins G266 .
|
|
25. Then they said to Him, "Who are You?" Jesus answered, "The answer is the same as I told you from the beginning.
|
25. Then G3767 said G3004 they unto him G846 , Who G5101 art G1488 thou G4771 ? And G2532 Jesus G2424 saith G2036 unto them G846 , Even G2532 the same that G3748 I said G2980 unto you G5213 from the G3588 beginning G746 .
|
|
26. I have much to say about you. I must say if you are guilty. But He Who sent Me is true. I tell the world the things I have heard from Him."
|
26. I have G2192 many things G4183 to say G2980 and G2532 to judge G2919 of G4012 you G5216 : but G235 he that sent G3992 me G3165 is G2076 true G227 ; and I G2504 speak G3004 to G1519 the G3588 world G2889 those things G5023 which G3739 I have heard G191 of G3844 him G846 .
|
|
27. They did not understand that Jesus was speaking to them about the Father.
|
27. They understood G1097 not G3756 that G3754 he spake G3004 to them G846 of the G3588 Father G3962 .
|
|
28. Jesus said to them, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, you will know that I am the Christ. I do nothing of Myself. I say these things as My Father has taught Me.
|
28. Then G3767 said G2036 Jesus G2424 unto them G846 , When G3752 ye have lifted up G5312 the G3588 Son G5207 of man G444 , then G5119 shall ye know G1097 that G3754 I G1473 am G1510 he, and G2532 that I do G4160 nothing G3762 of G575 myself G1683 ; but G235 as G2531 my G3450 Father G3962 hath taught G1321 me G3165 , I speak G2980 these things G5023 .
|
|
29. He that sent Me is with Me. The Father has not left Me alone. I always do what He wants Me to do."
|
29. And G2532 he that sent G3992 me G3165 is G2076 with G3326 me G1700 : the G3588 Father G3962 hath not G3756 left G863 me G3165 alone G3441 ; for G3754 I G1473 do G4160 always G3842 those things that please G701 him G846 .
|
|
30. As Jesus said these things, many people put their trust in Him.
|
30. As he G846 spake G2980 these words G5023 , many G4183 believed G4100 on G1519 him G846 .
|
|
31. He said to the Jews who believed, "If you keep and obey My Word, then you are My followers for sure.
|
31. Then G3767 said G3004 Jesus G2424 to G4314 those Jews G2453 which believed G4100 on him G846 , If G1437 ye G5210 continue G3306 in G1722 my G1699 word G3056 , then are G2075 ye my G3450 disciples G3101 indeed G230 ;
|
|
32. You will know the truth and the truth will make you free."
|
32. And G2532 ye shall know G1097 the G3588 truth G225 , and G2532 the G3588 truth G225 shall make you free G1659 G5209 .
|
|
33. They said to Jesus, "We are children of Abraham. We have never been servants to anyone. What do you mean when You say, 'You will be free'?"
|
33. They answered G611 him G846 , We be G2070 Abraham G11 's seed G4690 , and G2532 were never in bondage G1398 G4455 to any man G3762 : how G4459 sayest G3004 thou G4771 , Ye shall be made G1096 free G1658 ?
|
|
34. Jesus answered them, "For sure, I tell you, everyone who sins is the servant of sin because sin has a hold on him.
|
34. Jesus G2424 answered G611 them G846 , Verily G281 , verily G281 , I say G3004 unto you G5213 , Whosoever G3956 committeth G4160 sin G266 is G2076 the servant G1401 of sin G266 .
|
|
35. And the servant does not belong in the house. The son belongs in the house.
|
35. And G1161 the G3588 servant G1401 abideth G3306 not G3756 in G1722 the G3588 house G3614 forever G1519 G165 : but the G3588 Son G5207 abideth G3306 ever G1519 G165 .
|
|
36. So if the Son makes you free, you will be free for sure.
|
36. If G1437 the G3588 Son G5207 therefore G3767 shall make you free G1659 G5209 , ye shall be G2071 free G1658 indeed G3689 .
|
|
37. "I know that you are the children of Abraham. But you want to kill Me because My Word is not in your hearts.
|
37. I know G1492 that G3754 ye are G2075 Abraham G11 's seed G4690 ; but G235 ye seek G2212 to kill G615 me G3165 , because G3754 my G1699 word G3056 hath no place G5562 G3756 in G1722 you G5213 .
|
|
38. I speak of what I saw when I was with My Father. You do what you have seen your father do."
|
38. I G1473 speak G2980 that which G3739 I have seen G3708 with G3844 my G3450 Father G3962 : and G2532 ye G5210 do G4160 that which G3739 ye have G3767 seen G3708 with G3844 your G5216 father G3962 .
|
|
39. They said to Him, "Abraham is our father." Jesus said, "If you were children of Abraham, you would do what he did.
|
39. They answered G611 and G2532 said G2036 unto him G846 , Abraham G11 is G2076 our G2257 father G3962 . Jesus G2424 saith G3004 unto them G846 , If G1487 ye were G2258 Abraham G11 's children G5043 , ye would do G4160 G302 the G3588 works G2041 of Abraham G11 .
|
|
40. I am a Man Who has told you the truth as I heard it from God. Now you are trying to kill Me. Abraham never did anything like that.
|
40. But G1161 now G3568 ye seek G2212 to kill G615 me G3165 , a man G444 that G3739 hath told G2980 you G5213 the G3588 truth G225 , which G3739 I have heard G191 of G3844 God G2316 : this G5124 did G4160 not G3756 Abraham G11 .
|
|
41. You are doing the works of your father." They said to Him, "We were born of parents who were faithful in marriage. We have one Father. He is God."
|
41. Ye G5210 do G4160 the G3588 deeds G2041 of your G5216 father. Then G3767 G3962 G3767 said G2036 they to him G846 , We G2249 be not G3756 born G1080 of G1537 fornication G4202 ; we have G2192 one G1520 Father G3962 , even God G2316 .
|
|
42. Jesus said to them, "If God were your father, you would love Me. I came from God. I did not come on My own, but God sent Me.
|
42. Jesus G2424 said G2036 unto them G846 , If G1487 God G2316 were G2258 your G5216 Father G3962 , ye would love G25 G302 me G1691 : for G1063 I G1473 proceeded forth G1831 and G2532 came G2240 from G1537 God G2316 G1063 ; neither G3761 came G2064 I of G575 myself G1683 , but G235 he G1565 sent G649 me G3165 .
|
|
43. Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you do not want to hear My teaching.
|
43. Why G1302 do ye not G3756 understand G1097 my G1699 speech G2981 ? even because G3754 ye cannot G1410 G3756 hear G191 my G1699 word G3056 .
|
|
44. The devil is your father. You are from him. You want to do the sinful things your father, the devil, wants you to do. He has been a killer from the beginning. The devil has nothing to do with the truth. There is no truth in him. It is expected of the devil to lie, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
|
44. Ye G5210 are G2075 of G1537 your father G3962 the G3588 devil G1228 , and G2532 the G3588 lusts G1939 of your G5216 father G3962 ye will G2309 do G4160 . He G1565 was G2258 a murderer G443 from G575 the beginning G746 , and G2532 abode G2476 not G3756 in G1722 the G3588 truth G225 , because G3754 there is G2076 no G3756 truth G225 in G1722 him G846 . When G3752 he speaketh G2980 a lie G5579 , he speaketh G2980 of G1537 his own G2398 : for G3754 he is G2076 a liar G5583 , and G2532 the G3588 father G3962 of it G846 .
|
|
45. I tell you the truth and that is why you do not put your trust in Me.
|
45. And G1161 because G3754 I G1473 tell G3004 you the G3588 truth G225 , ye believe G4100 me G3427 not G3756 .
|
|
46. Which one of you can say I am guilty of sin? If I tell you the truth, why do you not believe Me?
|
46. Which G5101 of G1537 you G5216 convinceth G1651 me G3165 of G4012 sin G266 ? And G1161 if G1487 I say G3004 the truth G225 , why G1302 do ye G5210 not G3756 believe G4100 me G3427 ?
|
|
47. Whoever is born of God listens to God's Word. You do not hear His Word because you are not born of God."
|
47. He that is G5607 of G1537 God G2316 heareth G191 God G2316 's words G4487 : ye G5210 therefore G1223 G5124 hear G191 them not G3756 , because G3754 ye are G2075 not G3756 of G1537 God G2316 .
|
|
48. The Jews said to Jesus, "Are we not right when we say You are from the country of Samaria, and You have a demon?"
|
48. Then G3767 answered G611 the G3588 Jews G2453 , and G2532 said G2036 unto him G846 , Say G3004 we G2249 not G3756 well G2573 that G3754 thou G4771 art G1488 a Samaritan G4541 , and G2532 hast G2192 a devil G1140 ?
|
|
49. Jesus said, "No, I do not have a demon. I honor My Father. You do not honor Me.
|
49. Jesus G2424 answered G611 , I G1473 have G2192 not G3756 a devil G1140 ; but G235 I honor G5091 my G3450 Father G3962 , and G2532 ye G5210 do dishonor G818 me G3165 .
|
|
50. I am not looking for honor for Myself. There is One Who is looking for it. He says what is right from wrong.
|
50. And G1161 I G1473 seek G2212 not G3756 mine own G3450 glory G1391 : there is G2076 one that seeketh G2212 and G2532 judgeth G2919 .
|
|
51. For sure, I tell you, if anyone keeps My Word, that one will never die."
|
51. Verily G281 , verily G281 , I say G3004 unto you G5213 , If G1437 a man G5100 keep G5083 my G1699 saying G3056 , he shall never G3364 G1519 G165 see G2334 death G2288 .
|
|
52. Then the Jews said to Him, "Now we know You have a demon. Abraham died. The early preachers died. You say, 'If anyone keeps My Word, that one will never die.'
