| 1. | But Jesus went to the mount of Olives. |
| 2. | And 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. | And the scribes and the Pharisees bring to him a woman taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst, |
| 4. | they say to him, Teacher, this woman has been taken in the very act, committing adultery. |
| 5. | Now in the law Moses has commanded us to stone such; thou therefore, what sayest thou? |
| 6. | But this they said proving him, that they might have something to accuse him of. But Jesus, having stooped down, wrote with his finger on the ground. |
| 7. | But when they continued asking him, he lifted himself up and said to them, Let him that is without sin among you first cast the stone at her. |
| 8. | And again stooping down he wrote on the ground. |
| 9. | But they, having heard that, went out one by one beginning from the elder ones until the last; and Jesus was left alone and the woman standing there. |
| 10. | And Jesus, lifting himself up and seeing no one but the woman, said to her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? Has no one condemned thee? |
| 11. | And she said, No one, sir. And Jesus said to her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more. |
| 12. | Again therefore Jesus spoke to them, saying, I am the light of the world; he that follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. |
| 13. | The Pharisees therefore said to him, Thou bearest witness concerning thyself; thy witness is not true. |
| 14. | Jesus answered and said to them, Even if I bear witness concerning myself, my witness is true, because I know whence I came and whither I go: but ye know not whence I come and whither I go. |
| 15. | Ye judge according to the flesh, I judge no one. |
| 16. | And if also I judge, my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who has sent me. |
| 17. | And in your law too it is written that the testimony of two men is true: |
| 18. | I am one who bear witness concerning myself, and the Father who has sent me bears witness concerning me. |
| 19. | They said to him therefore, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye know neither me nor my Father. If ye had known me, ye would have known also my Father. |
| 20. | These words spoke he in the treasury, teaching in the temple; and no one took him, for his hour was not yet come. |
| 21. | He said therefore again to them, I go away, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sin; where I go ye cannot come. |
| 22. | The Jews therefore said, Will he kill himself, that he says, Where I go ye cannot come? |
| 23. | And he said to them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above. Ye are of this world; I am not of this world. |
| 24. | I said therefore to you, that ye shall die in your sins; for unless ye shall believe that I am he, ye shall die in your sins. |
| 25. | They said therefore to him, Who art thou? And Jesus said to them, Altogether that which I also say to you. |
| 26. | I have many things to say and to judge concerning you, but he that has sent me is true, and I, what I have heard from him, these things I say to the world. |
| 27. | They knew not that he spoke to them of the Father. |
| 28. | Jesus therefore said to them, When ye shall have lifted up the Son of man, then ye shall know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself, but as the Father has taught me I speak these things. |
| 29. | And he that has sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, because I do always the things that are pleasing to him. |
| 30. | As he spoke these things many believed on him. |
| 31. | Jesus therefore said to the Jews who believed him, If ye abide in my word, ye are truly my disciples; |
| 32. | and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free. |
| 33. | They answered him, We are Abraham`s seed, and have never been under bondage to any one; how sayest thou, Ye shall become free? |
| 34. | Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say to you, Every one that practises sin is the bondman of sin. |
| 35. | Now the bondman abides not in the house for ever: the son abides for ever. |
| 36. | If therefore the Son shall set you free, ye shall be really free. |
| 37. | I know that ye are Abraham`s seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word has no entrance in you. |
| 38. | I speak what I have seen with my Father, and ye then do what ye have seen with your father. |
| 39. | They answered and said to him, Abraham is our father. Jesus says to them, If ye were Abraham`s children, ye would do the works of Abraham; |
| 40. | but now ye seek to kill me, a man who has spoken the truth to you, which I have heard from God: this did not Abraham. |
| 41. | Ye do the works of your father. They said therefore to him, We are not born of fornication; we have one father, God. |
| 42. | Jesus said to them, If God were your father ye would have loved me, for I came forth from God and am come from him; for neither am I come of myself, but he has sent me. |
| 43. | Why do ye not know my speech? Because ye cannot hear my word. |
| 44. | Ye are of the devil, as your father, and ye desire to do the lusts of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks falsehood, he speaks of what is his own; for he is a liar and its father: |
| 45. | and because I speak the truth, ye do not believe me. |
| 46. | Which of you convinces me of sin? If I speak truth, why do ye not believe me? |
| 47. | He that is of God hears the words of God: therefore ye hear them not, because ye are not of God. |
| 48. | The Jews answered and said to him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan and hast a demon? |
| 49. | Jesus answered, I have not a demon; but I honour my Father, and ye dishonour me. |
| 50. | But I do not seek my own glory: there is he that seeks and judges. |
| 51. | Verily, verily, I say unto you, If any one shall keep my word, he shall never see death. |
| 52. | The Jews therefore said to him, Now we know that thou hast a demon. Abraham has died, and the prophets, and thou sayest, If any one keep my word, he shall never taste death. |
| 53. | Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who has died? and the prophets have died: whom makest thou thyself? |
| 54. | Jesus answered, If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing: it is my Father who glorifies me, of whom ye say, He is our God. |
| 55. | And ye know him not; but I know him; and if I said, I know him not, I should be like you, a liar. But I know him, and I keep his word. |
| 56. | Your father Abraham exulted in that he should see my day, and he saw and rejoiced. |
| 57. | The Jews therefore said to him, Thou hast not yet fifty years, and hast thou seen Abraham? |
| 58. | Jesus said to them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. |
| 59. | They took up therefore stones that they might cast them at him; but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and thus passed on. |
