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.
