拿淫婦來質難主
8 於是各人都回家去了。耶穌卻往橄欖山去。 2 清早又回到殿裡，眾百姓都到他那裡去，他就坐下教訓他們。 3 文士和法利賽人帶著一個行淫時被拿的婦人來，叫她站在當中， 4 就對耶穌說：「夫子，這婦人是正行淫之時被拿的。 5 摩西在律法上吩咐我們把這樣的婦人用石頭打死，你說該把她怎麼樣呢？」 6 他們說這話乃試探耶穌，要得著告他的把柄。耶穌卻彎著腰，用指頭在地上畫字。 7 他們還是不住地問他，耶穌就直起腰來，對他們說：「你們中間誰是沒有罪的，誰就可以先拿石頭打她。」 8 於是又彎著腰，用指頭在地上畫字。 9 他們聽見這話，就從老到少，一個一個地都出去了，只剩下耶穌一人，還有那婦人仍然站在當中。
不要再犯罪
10 耶穌就直起腰來，對她說：「婦人，那些人在哪裡呢？沒有人定你的罪嗎？」 11 她說：「主啊，沒有。」耶穌說：「我也不定你的罪。去吧，從此不要再犯罪了！」
主是世界的光
12 耶穌又對眾人說：「我是世界的光。跟從我的，就不在黑暗裡走，必要得著生命的光。」 13 法利賽人對他說：「你是為自己作見證，你的見證不真。」 14 耶穌說：「我雖然為自己作見證，我的見證還是真的；因我知道我從哪裡來，往哪裡去。你們卻不知道我從哪裡來，往哪裡去。 15 你們是以外貌[a]判斷人，我卻不判斷人。 16 就是判斷人，我的判斷也是真的，因為不是我獨自在這裡，還有差我來的父與我同在。 17 你們的律法上也記著說：『兩個人的見證是真的。』 18 我是為自己作見證，還有差我來的父也是為我作見證。」 19 他們就問他說：「你的父在哪裡？」耶穌回答說：「你們不認識我，也不認識我的父；若是認識我，也就認識我的父。」 20 這些話是耶穌在殿裡的庫房教訓人時所說的，也沒有人拿他，因為他的時候還沒有到。
不信主的必死在罪裡
21 耶穌又對他們說：「我要去了，你們要找我，並且你們要死在罪中。我所去的地方你們不能到。」 22 猶太人說：「他說『我所去的地方你們不能到』，難道他要自盡嗎？」 23 耶穌對他們說：「你們是從下頭來的，我是從上頭來的；你們是屬這世界的，我不是屬這世界的。 24 所以我對你們說，你們要死在罪中；你們若不信我是基督，必要死在罪中。」 25 他們就問他說：「你是誰？」耶穌對他們說：「就是我從起初所告訴你們的。 26 我有許多事講論你們，判斷你們；但那差我來的是真的，我在他那裡所聽見的，我就傳給世人。」 27 他們不明白耶穌是指著父說的。 28 所以耶穌說：「你們舉起人子以後，必知道我是基督，並且知道我沒有一件事是憑著自己做的。我說這些話乃是照著父所教訓我的。 29 那差我來的是與我同在，他沒有撇下我獨自在這裡，因為我常做他所喜悅的事。」 30 耶穌說這話的時候，就有許多人信他。
真理叫人得以自由
31 耶穌對信他的猶太人說：「你們若常常遵守我的道，就真是我的門徒， 32 你們必曉得真理，真理必叫你們得以自由。」 33 他們回答說：「我們是亞伯拉罕的後裔，從來沒有做過誰的奴僕，你怎麼說『你們必得以自由』呢？」 34 耶穌回答說：「我實實在在地告訴你們：所有犯罪的就是罪的奴僕。 35 奴僕不能永遠住在家裡，兒子是永遠住在家裡。 36 所以天父的兒子若叫你們自由，你們就真自由了。
誰為亞伯拉罕的真子孫
37 「我知道你們是亞伯拉罕的子孫，你們卻想要殺我，因為你們心裡容不下我的道。 38 我所說的，是在我父那裡看見的；你們所行的，是在你們的父那裡聽見的。」 39 他們說：「我們的父就是亞伯拉罕！」耶穌說：「你們若是亞伯拉罕的兒子，就必行亞伯拉罕所行的事。 40 我將在神那裡所聽見的真理告訴了你們，現在你們卻想要殺我，這不是亞伯拉罕所行的事。 41 你們是行你們父所行的事。」他們說：「我們不是從淫亂生的。我們只有一位父，就是神！」
出於神的必聽神的話
42 耶穌說：「倘若神是你們的父，你們就必愛我。因為我本是出於神，也是從神而來；並不是由著自己來，乃是他差我來。 43 你們為什麼不明白我的話呢？無非是因你們不能聽我的道。 44 你們是出於你們的父魔鬼，你們父的私慾你們偏要行。他從起初是殺人的，不守真理，因他心裡沒有真理。他說謊是出於自己，因他本來是說謊的，也是說謊之人的父。 45 我將真理告訴你們，你們就因此不信我。 46 你們中間誰能指證我有罪呢？我既然將真理告訴你們，為什麼不信我呢？ 47 出於神的必聽神的話，你們不聽，因為你們不是出於神。」 48 猶太人回答說：「我們說你是撒馬利亞人，並且是鬼附著的，這話豈不正對嗎？」 49 耶穌說：「我不是鬼附著的。我尊敬我的父，你們倒輕慢我。 50 我不求自己的榮耀，有一位為我求榮耀、定是非的。 51 我實實在在地告訴你們：人若遵守我的道，就永遠不見死。」 52 猶太人對他說：「現在我們知道你是鬼附著的。亞伯拉罕死了，眾先知也死了，你還說『人若遵守我的道，就永遠不嘗死味』。 53 難道你比我們的祖宗亞伯拉罕還大嗎？他死了，眾先知也死了。你將自己當做什麼人呢？」 54 耶穌回答說：「我若榮耀自己，我的榮耀就算不得什麼。榮耀我的乃是我的父，就是你們所說是你們的神。 55 你們未曾認識他，我卻認識他。我若說不認識他，我就是說謊的，像你們一樣。但我認識他，也遵守他的道。
耶穌言己在亞伯拉罕之先
56 「你們的祖宗亞伯拉罕歡歡喜喜地仰望我的日子，既看見了，就快樂。」 57 猶太人說：「你還沒有五十歲，豈見過亞伯拉罕呢？」 58 耶穌說：「我實實在在地告訴你們：還沒有亞伯拉罕就有了我。」 59 於是他們拿石頭要打他，耶穌卻躲藏，從殿裡出去了。

The Adulterous Woman
8 But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 2 Early in the morning He came back into the temple [court], and all the people were coming to Him. He sat down and began teaching them. 3 Now the scribes and Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery. They made her stand in the center of the court, 4 and they said to Him, “Teacher, this woman has been caught in the very act of adultery. 5 Now in the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women [to death]. So what do You say [to do with her—what is Your sentence]?”(A) 6 They said this to test Him, hoping that they would have grounds for accusing Him. But Jesus stooped down and began writing on the ground with His finger. 7 However, when they persisted in questioning Him, He straightened up and said, “He who is without [any] sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her.”(B) 8 Then He stooped down again and started writing on the ground. 9 They listened [to His reply], and they began to go out one by one, starting with the oldest ones, until He was left alone, with the woman [standing there before Him] in the center of the court. 10 Straightening up, Jesus said to her, “Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?” 11 She answered, “No one, Lord!” And Jesus said, “I do not condemn you either. Go. From now on sin no more.”]
Jesus Is the Light of the World
12 Once more Jesus addressed the crowd. He said, “[a]I am the Light of the world. He who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.” 13 Then the Pharisees told Him, “You are testifying on Your own behalf; Your testimony is not valid.” 14 Jesus replied, “Even if I do testify on My own behalf, My testimony is valid, because I know where I came from and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from or where I am going. 15 You judge according to [b]human standards [just by what you see]. I do not judge anyone. 16 But even if I do judge, My judgment is true and My decision is right; for I am not alone [in making it], but I and the Father who sent Me [make the same judgment]. 17 Even in your own law it is written that the testimony of two persons is true [valid and admissible].(C) 18 I am One [of the Two] who testifies about Myself, and My Father who sent Me testifies about Me.” 19 Then the Pharisees said to Him, “Where is this Father of Yours?” Jesus answered, “You know neither Me nor My Father; if you knew Me, you would know My Father also.” 20 Jesus said these things in the treasury, as He taught in the temple [courtyard]; and no one seized Him, because His time had not yet come.
21 Then He said again to them, “I am going away, and you will look for Me, and you will die [unforgiven and condemned] in your sin. Where I am going, you cannot come.” 22 So the Jews were asking [among themselves], “Will He kill Himself? Is that why He says, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come’?” 23 He said to them, “You are from below, I am from above; you are of this world, I am not of this world. 24 That is why I told you that you will die [unforgiven and condemned] in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am the One [I claim to be], you will die in your sins.”(D) 25 So they said to Him, “Who are You [anyway]?” Jesus replied, “What have I been saying to you from the beginning? 26 I have many things to say and judge concerning you, but He who sent Me is true; and I say to the world [only] the things that I have heard from Him.” 27 They did not realize [or have the spiritual insight to understand] that He was speaking to them about the Father. 28 So Jesus said, “When you lift up the Son of Man [on the cross], you will know then [without any doubt] that I am He, and that I do nothing on My own authority, but I say these things just as My Father taught Me. 29 And He who sent Me is [always] with Me; He has not left Me alone, because I always do what pleases Him.” 30 As He said these things, [c]many believed in Him.
The Truth Will Make You Free
31 So Jesus was saying to the Jews who had believed Him, “If you abide in My word [continually obeying My teachings and living in accordance with them, then] you are truly My disciples. 32 And you will know the truth [regarding salvation], and the truth will set you free [from the penalty of sin].” 33 They answered Him, “We are Abraham’s descendants and have never been enslaved to anyone. [d]What do You mean by saying, ‘You will be set free’?”
34 Jesus answered, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, everyone who practices sin habitually is a slave of sin. 35 Now the slave does not remain in a household forever; the son [of the master] does remain forever. 36 So if the Son makes you free, then you are unquestionably free. 37 I know that you are Abraham’s descendants; yet you plan to kill Me, because My word has no place [to grow] in you [and it makes no change in your heart]. 38 I tell the things that I have seen at My Father’s side [in His very presence]; so you also do the things that you heard from your father.”
39 They answered, “Abraham is our father.” Jesus said to them, “If you are [truly] Abraham’s children, then do the works of Abraham and follow his example. 40 But as it is, you want to kill Me, a Man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God. This is not the way Abraham acted. 41 You are doing the works of your [own] father.” They said to Him, “We are not illegitimate children; we have one [spiritual] Father: God.” 42 Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father [but He is not], you would love and recognize Me, for I came from God [out of His very presence] and have arrived here. For I have not even come on My own initiative [as self-appointed], but He [is the One who] sent Me. 43 Why do you misunderstand what I am saying? It is because [your spiritual ears are deaf and] you are unable to hear [the truth of] My word. 44 You are of your father the devil, and it is your will to practice the desires [which are characteristic] of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks what is natural to him, for he is a liar and the father of lies and half-truths. 45 But because I speak the truth, you do not believe Me [and continue in your unbelief]. 46 Which one of you [has proof and] convicts Me of sin? If I speak truth, why do you not believe Me? 47 Whoever is of God and belongs to Him hears [the truth of] God’s words; for this reason you do not hear them: because you are not of God and you are not in fellowship with Him.”
48 The Jews answered Him, “Are we not right when we say You are a [e]Samaritan and [that You] have a demon [and are under its power]?” 49 Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon. On the contrary, I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me. 50 However, I am not seeking glory for Myself. There is One who seeks [glory for Me] and judges [those who dishonor Me]. 51 I assure you and most solemnly say to you, if anyone keeps My word [by living in accordance with My message] he will indeed never, ever see and experience [f]death.” 52 The Jews said to Him, “Now we know that You have a demon [and are under its power]. Abraham died, and also the prophets; yet You say, ‘If anyone keeps My word, he will never, ever taste of death.’ 53 Are You greater than our father Abraham, who died? The prophets died too! Whom do You make Yourself out to be?” 54 Jesus answered, “If I glorify Myself, My glory is [worth] nothing. It is My Father who glorifies Me, of whom you say, ‘He is our God.’ 55 Yet you do not know Him, but I know Him fully. If I said I did not know Him, I would be a liar like you. But I do know Him and keep His word. 56 Your father Abraham [greatly] rejoiced to see My day (My incarnation). [g]He saw it and was delighted.”(E) 57 Then the Jews said to Him, “You are not even fifty years old, and You [claim to] have seen Abraham?” 58 Jesus replied, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, before Abraham was born, [h]I Am.”(F) 59 So they picked up stones to throw at Him, but Jesus concealed Himself and left the temple.

8 1 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.(A)
2 At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them.(B) 3 The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group 4 and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. 5 In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women.(C) Now what do you say?” 6 They were using this question as a trap,(D) in order to have a basis for accusing him.(E)
But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. 7 When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone(F) at her.”(G) 8 Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.
9 At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. 10 Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”
11 “No one, sir,” she said.
“Then neither do I condemn you,”(H) Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.”(I)
Dispute Over Jesus’ Testimony
12 When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am(J) the light of the world.(K) Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”(L)
13 The Pharisees challenged him, “Here you are, appearing as your own witness; your testimony is not valid.”(M)
14 Jesus answered, “Even if I testify on my own behalf, my testimony is valid, for I know where I came from and where I am going.(N) But you have no idea where I come from(O) or where I am going. 15 You judge by human standards;(P) I pass judgment on no one.(Q) 16 But if I do judge, my decisions are true, because I am not alone. I stand with the Father, who sent me.(R) 17 In your own Law it is written that the testimony of two witnesses is true.(S) 18 I am one who testifies for myself; my other witness is the Father, who sent me.”(T)
19 Then they asked him, “Where is your father?”
“You do not know me or my Father,”(U) Jesus replied. “If you knew me, you would know my Father also.”(V) 20 He spoke these words while teaching(W) in the temple courts near the place where the offerings were put.(X) Yet no one seized him, because his hour had not yet come.(Y)
Dispute Over Who Jesus Is
21 Once more Jesus said to them, “I am going away, and you will look for me, and you will die(Z) in your sin. Where I go, you cannot come.”(AA)
22 This made the Jews ask, “Will he kill himself? Is that why he says, ‘Where I go, you cannot come’?”
23 But he continued, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.(AB) 24 I told you that you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I am he,(AC) you will indeed die in your sins.”
25 “Who are you?” they asked.
“Just what I have been telling you from the beginning,” Jesus replied. 26 “I have much to say in judgment of you. But he who sent me is trustworthy,(AD) and what I have heard from him I tell the world.”(AE)
27 They did not understand that he was telling them about his Father. 28 So Jesus said, “When you have lifted up[a] the Son of Man,(AF) then you will know that I am he and that I do nothing on my own but speak just what the Father has taught me.(AG) 29 The one who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone,(AH) for I always do what pleases him.”(AI) 30 Even as he spoke, many believed in him.(AJ)
Dispute Over Whose Children Jesus’ Opponents Are
31 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching,(AK) you are really my disciples. 32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”(AL)
33 They answered him, “We are Abraham’s descendants(AM) and have never been slaves of anyone. How can you say that we shall be set free?”
34 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin.(AN) 35 Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever.(AO) 36 So if the Son sets you free,(AP) you will be free indeed. 37 I know that you are Abraham’s descendants. Yet you are looking for a way to kill me,(AQ) because you have no room for my word. 38 I am telling you what I have seen in the Father’s presence,(AR) and you are doing what you have heard from your father.[b]”(AS)
39 “Abraham is our father,” they answered.
“If you were Abraham’s children,”(AT) said Jesus, “then you would[c] do what Abraham did. 40 As it is, you are looking for a way to kill me,(AU) a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God.(AV) Abraham did not do such things. 41 You are doing the works of your own father.”(AW)
“We are not illegitimate children,” they protested. “The only Father we have is God himself.”(AX)
42 Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me,(AY) for I have come here from God.(AZ) I have not come on my own;(BA) God sent me.(BB) 43 Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say. 44 You belong to your father, the devil,(BC) and you want to carry out your father’s desires.(BD) He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.(BE) 45 Yet because I tell the truth,(BF) you do not believe me! 46 Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don’t you believe me? 47 Whoever belongs to God hears what God says.(BG) The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.”
Jesus’ Claims About Himself
48 The Jews answered him, “Aren’t we right in saying that you are a Samaritan(BH) and demon-possessed?”(BI)
49 “I am not possessed by a demon,” said Jesus, “but I honor my Father and you dishonor me. 50 I am not seeking glory for myself;(BJ) but there is one who seeks it, and he is the judge. 51 Very truly I tell you, whoever obeys my word will never see death.”(BK)
52 At this they exclaimed, “Now we know that you are demon-possessed!(BL) Abraham died and so did the prophets, yet you say that whoever obeys your word will never taste death. 53 Are you greater than our father Abraham?(BM) He died, and so did the prophets. Who do you think you are?”
54 Jesus replied, “If I glorify myself,(BN) my glory means nothing. My Father, whom you claim as your God, is the one who glorifies me.(BO) 55 Though you do not know him,(BP) I know him.(BQ) If I said I did not, I would be a liar like you, but I do know him and obey his word.(BR) 56 Your father Abraham(BS) rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it(BT) and was glad.”
57 “You are not yet fifty years old,” they said to him, “and you have seen Abraham!”
58 “Very truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “before Abraham was born,(BU) I am!”(BV) 59 At this, they picked up stones to stone him,(BW) but Jesus hid himself,(BX) slipping away from the temple grounds.

8 1 och Jesus gick ut till Oljeberget. 2 Tidigt på morgonen kom han tillbaka till tempelplatsen. Allt folket samlades omkring honom, och han satte sig ner och undervisade dem. 3 Då kom de skriftlärda och fariseerna fram till honom med en kvinna som hade gripits för äktenskapsbrott. De ställde henne mitt framför sig 4 och sade: "Mästare, den här kvinnan greps på bar gärning, när hon begick äktenskapsbrott. 5 I lagen[a] har Mose befallt oss att stena sådana. Vad säger då du?" 6 Detta sade de för att snärja honom och ha något att anklaga honom för. Men Jesus böjde sig ner och skrev med fingret på marken. 7 När de stod kvar och frågade honom, reste han sig och sade: "Den som är utan synd må kasta första stenen på henne." 8 Och han böjde sig ner igen och skrev på marken. 9 När de hörde detta gick de därifrån, den ene efter den andre, de äldste först, och han blev lämnad ensam kvar med kvinnan som stod där. 10 Jesus reste sig upp och sade till henne: "Kvinna, var är de? Har ingen dömt dig?" 11 Hon svarade: "Nej, Herre, ingen." Då sade Jesus: "Inte heller jag dömer dig. Gå, och synda inte mer!"
Jesus är världens ljus
12 Jesus talade åter till dem och sade: "Jag är världens ljus. Den som följer mig skall inte vandra i mörkret utan ha livets ljus." 13 Fariseerna sade till honom: "Du vittnar om dig själv. Ditt vittnesbörd är inte giltigt." 14 Jesus svarade: "Även om jag vittnar om mig själv, är mitt vittnesbörd giltigt, eftersom jag vet varifrån jag har kommit och vart jag går. Ni vet inte varifrån jag kommer eller vart jag går. 15 Ni dömer på människors vis. Jag dömer ingen. 16 Och även om jag dömer är min dom rättvis, eftersom jag inte är ensam, utan Fadern som har sänt mig är med mig. 17 Också i er egen lag står det skrivet att vad två människor vittnar är giltigt.[b] 18 Jag är den som vittnar om mig själv. Om mig vittnar även Fadern som har sänt mig." 19 Då frågade de: "Var är din Fader?" Jesus svarade: "Ni känner varken mig eller min Fader. Om ni kände mig, skulle ni också känna min Fader." 20 Dessa ord talade han vid offerkistan, när han undervisade på tempelplatsen. Men ingen grep honom, eftersom hans stund ännu inte hade kommit.
21 Än en gång sade Jesus till dem: "Jag går bort, och ni kommer att söka efter mig, men ni kommer att dö i er synd. Dit jag går kan ni inte komma." 22 Då sade judarna: "Tänker han ta sitt liv, eftersom han säger: Dit jag går kan ni inte komma?" 23 Han sade till dem: "Ni är nerifrån, jag är ovanifrån. Ni är av den här världen, jag är inte av den här världen. 24 Därför sade jag till er att ni kommer att dö i era synder. Ty om ni inte tror att Jag Är,[c] skall ni dö i era synder." 25 De frågade: "Vem är du då?" Jesus svarade: "Begynnelsen, något som jag också har sagt er. 26 Mycket har jag att säga om er och döma er för. Han som har sänt mig är trovärdig, och det jag har hört av honom förkunnar jag för världen." 27 De förstod inte att han talade till dem om Fadern. 28 Då sade Jesus till dem: "När ni har upphöjt[d] Människosonen, skall ni förstå att Jag Är och att jag inte gör något av mig själv utan talar vad Fadern har lärt mig. 29 Och han som har sänt mig är med mig. Han har inte lämnat mig ensam, eftersom jag alltid gör det som behagar honom." 30 När han sade detta, kom många till tro på honom.
Abrahams sanna barn
31 Jesus sade till de judar som hade satt tro till honom: "Om ni förblir i mitt ord, är ni verkligen mina lärjungar, 32 och ni skall förstå sanningen, och sanningen skall göra er fria." 33 De svarade honom: "Vi är Abrahams barn och har aldrig varit slavar under någon. Hur kan du säga att vi skall bli fria?" 34 Jesus svarade: "Amen, amen säger jag er: Var och en som gör synd är syndens slav. 35 Slaven bor inte kvar i huset för alltid, men sonen stannar där för alltid. 36 Om nu Sonen gör er fria, blir ni verkligen fria. 37 Jag vet att ni är Abrahams barn, men ni vill döda mig därför att ni inte förstår mitt ord. 38 Jag talar vad jag har sett hos min Fader. Ni gör vad ni har hört av er fader."
39 De svarade honom: "Vår fader är Abraham." Jesus sade: "Om ni vore Abrahams barn, skulle ni göra Abrahams gärningar. 40 Men nu vill ni döda mig, en man som har sagt er sanningen, som jag har hört av Gud. Så handlade inte Abraham. 41 Ni gör er faders gärningar." De svarade: "Vi är inte födda i äktenskapsbrott. Vi har bara en fader, Gud." 42 Jesus svarade: "Vore Gud er Fader, skulle ni älska mig, eftersom jag har utgått från Gud och kommer från honom. Jag har inte kommit av mig själv, utan han har sänt mig. 43 Varför förstår ni inte vad jag säger? Därför att ni inte kan lyssna till mitt ord. 44 Ni har djävulen till er fader. Och vad er fader har begär till, det vill ni göra. Han har varit en mördare från början och har aldrig stått på sanningens sida, eftersom sanning inte finns i honom. När han talar lögn, talar han av sitt eget, ty han är en lögnare, ja, lögnens fader. 45 Men mig tror ni inte, därför att jag säger er sanningen. 46 Vem av er kan överbevisa mig om synd? Om jag talar sanning, varför tror ni mig inte? 47 Den som är av Gud lyssnar till Guds ord. Men ni lyssnar inte, därför att ni inte är av Gud."
48 Judarna svarade: "Har vi inte rätt när vi säger att du är en samarit och har en ond ande?" 49 Jesus svarade: "Jag har ingen ond ande. Jag ärar min Fader, och ni vanärar mig. 50 Jag söker inte min egen ära, men det finns en som söker den och som dömer. 51 Amen, amen säger jag er: Den som bevarar mitt ord skall aldrig någonsin se döden." 52 Judarna sade: "Nu förstår vi att du har en ond ande. Abraham dog, och likaså profeterna, och du säger: Den som bevarar mitt ord skall aldrig någonsin smaka döden. 53 Är du större än vår fader Abraham? Han dog, och profeterna är döda. Vem ger du dig ut för att vara?" 54 Jesus svarade: "Om jag ärar mig själv, är min ära ingenting värd. Det är min Fader som ärar mig, han som ni kallar er Gud. 55 Ni känner honom inte, men jag känner honom. Om jag sade att jag inte kände honom, skulle jag vara en lögnare som ni. Men jag känner honom och bevarar hans ord. 56 Abraham, er fader, jublade över att få se min dag. Han såg den och blev glad." 57 Judarna sade: "Du är inte femtio år än, och Abraham har du sett!" 58 Jesus svarade: "Amen, amen säger jag er: Jag Är, redan innan Abraham blev till." 59 Då tog de upp stenar för att kasta på honom, men Jesus drog sig undan och lämnade tempelplatsen.

- Johannes 8:24 Jag Är Uttrycket anspelar på 2 Mos 3:14, där utsagan avser Gud själv. Den anknyter till innebörden i det högsta gudomliga namnet, JHVH, som vid skriftläsningen av vördnad aldrig uttalades utan ersattes med uttalet "Adonai", som betyder Herren.
