淫婦獲赦
8 眾人都回家去了，耶穌卻上了橄欖山。 2 第二天清晨，祂又回到聖殿。百姓聚集在祂那裡，祂就坐下來教導他們。 3 這時候，律法教師和法利賽人帶來一個通姦時被捉的女人，讓她站在眾人面前， 4 然後問耶穌：「老師，這個女人是在通姦時被捉到的。 5 按摩西的律法，我們要用石頭把她打死，你說該怎麼處置她呢？」
6 他們這樣問是要使耶穌落在他們的圈套裡，可以有藉口控告祂。耶穌卻只是彎著腰用指頭在地上寫字。 7 他們不斷地追問耶穌，於是祂直起腰來，對他們說：「你們中間誰沒有罪，誰就先拿石頭打她吧。」 8 說完，又彎下腰在地上寫字。
9 他們聽了這句話，就從老到少一個一個地走了，只剩下耶穌和那個女人在那裡。 10 耶穌直起腰來，說：「婦人，他們到哪裡去了？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。回去吧，從今以後不要再犯罪了。」
世界的光
12 耶穌又對眾人說：「我是世界的光，凡跟從我的，必不會走在黑暗裡，必要得到生命的光。」
13 法利賽人對祂說：「你自己為自己做見證，你的見證不真實。」
14 耶穌說：「即便我自己為自己做見證，我的見證仍是真實的，因為我知道自己從哪裡來、要到哪裡去，你們卻不知道我從哪裡來、要到哪裡去。 15 你們只憑外表判斷別人，我卻不判斷人。 16 就算我判斷人，我的判斷也是正確的，因為我不是獨自一人，還有差我來的父與我同在。 17 你們的律法不是說兩個人做見證就有效嗎？ 18 我是自己為自己做見證，差我來的父也為我做見證。」
19 他們問：「你的父在哪裡？」
耶穌回答說：「你們不認識我，也不認識我的父。如果你們認識我，也會認識我的父。」 20 耶穌在聖殿的庫房這樣教導人，但沒有人抓祂，因為祂的時候還沒有到。
警告不信的人
21 耶穌又對他們說：「我要走了，你們會尋找我，你們將死在自己的罪中。我去的地方，你們不能去。」
22 猶太人說：「祂說祂去的地方我們不能去，難道祂想自殺嗎？」
23 耶穌對他們說：「你們是從下面來的，我是從上面來的。你們屬於這世界，我不屬於這世界。 24 所以我說你們將死在自己的罪中，你們如果不相信我就是[a]那一位，一定會死在自己的罪中。」
25 他們問：「你到底是誰？」
耶穌回答說：「我不是早就告訴你們了嗎？ 26 關於你們，我有許多要說、要審判的，但差我來的那位是真實的，我把從祂那裡聽到的告訴世人。」 27 他們不明白耶穌是指著父說的。
28 於是耶穌說：「你們舉起人子以後，必知道我就是那一位，並且知道我沒有一件事是憑自己做的，我所說的都是父教導我的。 29 差我來的那位跟我在一起，祂沒有撇下我，讓我孤單一人，因為我做的都是祂所喜悅的。」 30 許多人因為這番話而信了耶穌。
真正的自由
31 耶穌對信祂的猶太人說：「你們若持守我的道，就真是我的門徒了。 32 你們必認識真理，真理必叫你們得到自由。」
33 他們說：「我們是亞伯拉罕的子孫，從來沒有做過奴隸，你為什麼說我們可以得到自由呢？」
34 耶穌說：「我實實在在地告訴你們，所有犯罪的人都是罪的奴隸。 35 奴隸不能永遠留在主人的家裡，只有兒子才可以。 36 所以，如果上帝的兒子釋放了你們，你們就真正自由了！
耶穌和亞伯拉罕
37 「我知道你們是亞伯拉罕的子孫，但你們卻想殺我，因為你們心裡容不下我的道。 38 我所說的，是我從父那裡看到的，你們卻照著你們父[b]的話去做。」
39 他們說：「我們的父就是亞伯拉罕！」
耶穌說：「你們如果真是亞伯拉罕的子孫，一定會做他所做的事。 40 我把從上帝那裡聽到的真理告訴你們，你們反要殺我，亞伯拉罕絕不做這樣的事。 41 你們是在作你們父所做的事。」
他們說：「我們不是從淫亂生的！我們只有一位父，就是上帝。」
42 耶穌說：「如果上帝是你們的父，你們一定會愛我，因為我來自上帝。如今我在這裡，我不是憑自己來的，而是上帝差我來的， 43 你們為什麼不明白我的話呢？因為你們聽不進去我的道。 44 你們是出於你們的父魔鬼，你們樂意順著牠的私慾行。魔鬼從起初就是個殺人兇手，從不站在真理這一邊，因為牠心裡根本沒有真理。撒謊是牠的本性，因為牠是撒謊者，又是撒謊者的始祖。 45 所以，我講真理的時候，你們不信我。 46 你們誰能指證我有罪呢？我既然把真理告訴了你們，你們為什麼還不信我呢？ 47 出於上帝的人聽上帝的話，你們不聽上帝的話，因為你們不是出於上帝。」
48 猶太人對祂說：「我們說你是撒瑪利亞人[c]，被鬼附身了，難道不對嗎？」
49 耶穌說：「我沒有被鬼附身。我尊敬我的父，你們卻侮辱我。 50 我不為自己尋求榮耀，但有一位會為我尋求，祂也會斷定誰是誰非。 51 我實實在在地告訴你們，人如果遵行我的道，必永遠不死。」
52 那些猶太人說：「現在我們的確知道你是被鬼附身了！亞伯拉罕和眾先知都死了，你還說人如果遵行你的道，必永遠不死。 53 難道你比我們的祖先亞伯拉罕還大嗎？他死了，先知們也死了，你以為你是誰？」
54 耶穌說：「如果我為自己爭取榮耀，那榮耀算不了什麼。但使我得榮耀的是我的父，你們也稱祂為你們的上帝。 55 你們不認識祂，我卻認識祂。如果我說我不認識祂，那我就像你們一樣是說謊的。然而，我認識祂，並且遵行祂的道。 56 你們的祖先亞伯拉罕曾經歡歡喜喜地盼望看到我來的日子。他看見了，就歡喜快樂。」
57 猶太人說：「你還不到五十歲，怎麼會見過亞伯拉罕呢？」
58 耶穌說：「我實實在在地告訴你們，亞伯拉罕還沒有出生，我就已經存在了[d]。」 59 於是，他們就拿起石頭要打祂，耶穌卻避開他們，離開了聖殿。

John 8
New International Version
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 耶稣却往橄榄山去。
淫妇被赦免
2 清晨，耶稣又来到圣殿，全体民众到他那里，他就坐下，开始教导他们。
3 这时，经文士们和法利赛人带来一个在通奸时被抓住的妇人，叫她站在中间。 4 他们对耶稣说：“老师，这妇人是正在通奸的时候被抓住的。 5 摩西在律法上吩咐我们用石头砸死这样的女人，既然如此，你怎么说呢？” 6 他们说这话是要试探耶稣，为要找把柄[a]来控告他。
耶稣却弯下腰，开始用指头在地上写字。 7 可是当他们不停地追问耶稣的时候，耶稣就直起身来，对他们说：“你们当中谁没有罪，谁就先用石头砸她吧！”
8 然后他又弯下腰去，继续在地上写字。 9 他们听了这话，[b]从年长的开始[c]，一个接一个地走开了。最后，只剩下耶稣和那站在中间的妇人。 10 耶稣直起身来[d]问她：“妇人，他们[e]在哪里？没有人定你的罪吗？”
11 她说：“主啊，没有。”
耶稣说：“我也不定你的罪。你回去吧！从今以后不要再犯罪了。”[f]
世界的光
12 耶稣又对众人说：“我就是世界的光。跟从我的人，绝不会在黑暗里行走，却要得到生命的光。”
13 法利赛人对他说：“你为自己做见证，你的见证是无效[g]的。”
14 耶稣回答：“即使我为自己做见证，我的见证也是有效[h]的，因为我知道我从哪里来，往哪里去；而你们却不知道我从哪里来，往哪里去。 15 你们是按人[i]的标准来评断，我却不评断任何人。 16 不过，就算我评断，我的评断也是真实的，因为我不是独自一人，而是有那派我来的父与我同在。 17 连你们的律法上也记载着：两个人的见证才是有效的。 18 我为自己做见证，派我来的父也为我做见证。”
19 他们就问耶稣：“你的‘父’在哪里？”
耶稣回答：“你们既不认识我，也不认识我的父；如果你们认识我，也就认识我的父。” 20 这些话是耶稣在圣殿的奉献箱附近教导人的时候说的。可是没有人抓他，因为他的时候还没有到。
耶稣预言离世
21 后来，耶稣又对他们说：“我要去了，你们将要寻找我，并且将死在自己的罪中。我去的地方，你们不能去。”
22 那些犹太人就说：“他说‘我去的地方，你们不能去’，难道他要自杀吗？”
23 耶稣对他们说：“你们从下面来，我从上面来；你们属于这世界，我不属于这世界。 24 所以我对你们说过‘你们将死在自己的罪孽中。’事实上，你们如果不信我就是那一位，就将死在自己的罪孽中。”
25 他们问：“你到底是谁？”
耶稣说：“我从一开始就告诉你们了。 26 关于你们，我有很多事要说、要评断；不过派我来的那一位是真实的，我从他那里听了这些事，就向世人说出来。”
27 他们不明白耶稣对他们说的是有关父的事。 28 所以耶稣说：“你们举起人子的时候，你们那时就会明白我就是那一位，也会明白我不凭自己做什么，而且我说这些话，也是照着父所教导我的。 29 派我来的那一位与我同在；他[j]没有撇下我，使我独自一人，因为我一直做他所喜悦的事。”
真理与自由
30 耶稣说这些话的时候，许多人就信了他。 31 于是耶稣对信他的犹太人说：“你们如果住在我的话语中，就真是我的门徒了， 32 并且你们将明白真理，而真理将使你们自由。”
33 他们回答：“我们是亚伯拉罕的后裔，从来没有做过谁的奴仆。你怎么说‘你们将要得自由’呢？”
34 耶稣回答：“我确确实实地告诉你们：所有犯罪的，就是罪的奴隶。 35 奴隶不会永远住在家里，儿子却会永远住在家里。 36 所以，如果子使你们自由，你们就真正自由了。 37 我知道你们是亚伯拉罕的后裔。可是你们想要杀我，因为你们里面容不下我的话语。 38 我所说的，是我从我[k]父那里所看到的；而实际上，你们所做的，是从你们的[l]父那里所听到[m]的。”
39 他们回答说：“亚伯拉罕是我们的父！”
耶稣说：“如果你们是亚伯拉罕的儿女，就会做亚伯拉罕所做的事。 40 但如今，我把从神那里所听到的真理告诉了你们，你们就想杀我。亚伯拉罕没有做过这种事。 41 你们在做你们的父所做的事。”
他们回答说：“我们不是由淫乱所生的，我们只有一位父，就是神。”
42 耶稣说：“如果神是你们的父，你们就会爱我，因为我是出于神，并且从神那里来。要知道，我并不是凭自己而来的，而是那一位差派了我。 43 你们为什么不明白我的话呢？这是因为你们听不进我的话语。 44 你们属于你们的父——魔鬼，并且想要随你们父的欲望去做。他从起初就是杀人的，不站在真理之中，因为他里面没有真理。他说虚假之事是出于自己的本性，因为他本来就是个说谎者，并且是说谎者之父。 45 可是因为我讲真理，你们就不相信我！ 46 你们当中谁能指证我有罪呢？既然我讲的是真理，你们为什么不相信我呢？ 47 属神的人，就听神的话语；你们之所以不听，是因为你们不属于神。”
耶稣与亚伯拉罕
48 那些犹太人回答说：“我们说你是个撒马利亚人，并且有鬼魔附身，难道说得不对吗？”
49 耶稣回答：“我没有鬼魔附身。我尊重我的父，你们却侮辱我。 50 我不寻求自己的荣耀，但有寻求和判断的那一位。 51 我确确实实地告诉你们：人如果遵守我的话语，就绝不见死亡，直到永远。”
52 犹太人说：“现在我们知道你是有鬼魔附身的。亚伯拉罕死了，先知们也死了，你还说‘人如果遵守我的话语，就绝不会尝到死的滋味，直到永远。’ 53 难道你比我们的先祖亚伯拉罕更大吗？他死了，先知们也死了。你把自己当做什么人？”
54 耶稣回答：“如果我荣耀自己，我的荣耀就算不得什么。荣耀我的是我的父，就是你们说‘他是我们的神’的那一位。 55 你们不认识他，我却认识他。如果我说我不认识他，我就成了像你们那样的说谎者。但我认识他，也遵守他的话语。 56 你们的先祖亚伯拉罕因为将要看到我的日子就快乐。他看到了，就欢喜。”
57 犹太人就对他说：“你还不到五十岁，怎么会见过亚伯拉罕？[n]”
58 耶稣对他们说：“我确确实实地告诉你们：亚伯拉罕存在之前，我就存在了。”
59 他们因此拿起石头要砸他。耶稣却被隐藏，[o]离开了圣殿。

Jesus the Light of the World
8 But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
2 Now [a]early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people came to Him; and He sat down and (A)taught them. 3 Then the scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. And when they had set her in the midst, 4 they said to Him, “Teacher, [b]this woman was caught in (B)adultery, in the very act. 5 (C)Now [c]Moses, in the law, commanded us [d]that such should be stoned. But what do You [e]say?” 6 This they said, testing Him, that they (D)might have something of which to accuse Him. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with His finger, [f]as though He did not hear.
7 So when they continued asking Him, He [g]raised Himself up and said to them, (E)“He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first.” 8 And again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. 9 Then those who heard it, (F)being[h] convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. 10 When Jesus had raised Himself up [i]and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, “Woman, where are those accusers [j]of yours? Has no one condemned you?”
11 She said, “No one, Lord.”
And Jesus said to her, (G)“Neither do I condemn you; go [k]and (H)sin no more.”
12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, (I)“I am the light of the world. He who (J)follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”
Jesus Defends His Self-Witness
13 The Pharisees therefore said to Him, (K)“You bear witness of Yourself; Your witness is not [l]true.”
14 Jesus answered and said to them, “Even if I bear witness of Myself, My witness is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going; but (L)you do not know where I come from and where I am going. 15 (M)You judge according to the flesh; (N)I judge no one. 16 And yet if I do judge, My judgment is true; for (O)I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent Me. 17 (P)It is also written in your law that the testimony of two men is true. 18 I am One who bears witness of Myself, and (Q)the Father who sent Me bears witness of Me.”
19 Then they said to Him, “Where is Your Father?”
Jesus answered, (R)“You know neither Me nor My Father. (S)If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also.”
20 These words Jesus spoke in (T)the treasury, as He taught in the temple; and (U)no one laid hands on Him, for (V)His hour had not yet come.
Jesus Predicts His Departure
21 Then Jesus said to them again, “I am going away, and (W)you will seek Me, and (X)will die in your sin. Where I go you cannot come.”
22 So the Jews said, “Will He kill Himself, because He says, ‘Where I go you cannot come’?”
23 And He said to them, (Y)“You are from beneath; I am from above. (Z)You are of this world; I am not of this world. 24 (AA)Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; (AB)for if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.”
25 Then they said to Him, “Who are You?”
And Jesus said to them, “Just what I (AC)have been saying to you from the beginning. 26 I have many things to say and to judge concerning you, but (AD)He who sent Me is true; and (AE)I speak to the world those things which I heard from Him.”
27 They did not understand that He spoke to them of the Father.
28 Then Jesus said to them, “When you (AF)lift[m] up the Son of Man, (AG)then you will know that I am He, and (AH)that I do nothing of Myself; but (AI)as My Father taught Me, I speak these things. 29 And (AJ)He who sent Me is with Me. (AK)The Father has not left Me alone, (AL)for I always do those things that please Him.” 30 As He spoke these words, (AM)many believed in Him.
The Truth Shall Make You Free
31 Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you (AN)abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. 32 And you shall know the (AO)truth, and (AP)the truth shall make you free.”
33 They answered Him, (AQ)“We are Abraham’s descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can You say, ‘You will be made free’?”
34 Jesus answered them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, (AR)whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. 35 And (AS)a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. 36 (AT)Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.
Abraham’s Seed and Satan’s
37 “I know that you are Abraham’s descendants, but (AU)you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you. 38 (AV)I speak what I have seen with My Father, and you do what you have [n]seen with your father.”
39 They answered and said to Him, (AW)“Abraham is our father.”
Jesus said to them, (AX)“If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham. 40 (AY)But now you seek to kill Me, a Man who has told you the truth (AZ)which I heard from God. Abraham did not do this. 41 You do the deeds of your father.”
Then they said to Him, “We were not born of fornication; (BA)we have one Father—God.”
42 Jesus said to them, (BB)“If God were your Father, you would love Me, for (BC)I proceeded forth and came from God; (BD)nor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me. 43 (BE)Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word. 44 (BF)You are of your father the devil, and the (BG)desires of your father you want to (BH)do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and (BI)does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it. 45 But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me. 46 Which of you convicts Me of sin? And if I tell the truth, why do you not believe Me? 47 (BJ)He who is of God hears God’s words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God.”
Before Abraham Was, I AM
48 Then the Jews answered and said to Him, “Do we not say rightly that You are a Samaritan and (BK)have a demon?”
49 Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon; but I honor My Father, and (BL)you dishonor Me. 50 And (BM)I do not seek My own glory; there is One who seeks and judges. 51 Most assuredly, I say to you, (BN)if anyone keeps My word he shall never see death.”
52 Then the Jews said to Him, “Now we know that You (BO)have a demon! (BP)Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and You say, ‘If anyone keeps My word he shall never taste death.’ 53 Are You greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? And the prophets are dead. (BQ)Who do You make Yourself out to be?”
54 Jesus answered, (BR)“If I honor Myself, My honor is nothing. (BS)It is My Father who honors Me, of whom you say that He is [o]your God. 55 Yet (BT)you have not known Him, but I know Him. And if I say, ‘I do not know Him,’ I shall be a liar like you; but I do know Him and (BU)keep His word. 56 Your father Abraham (BV)rejoiced to see My day, (BW)and he saw it and was glad.”
57 Then the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?”
58 Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, (BX)before Abraham was, (BY)I AM.”
59 Then (BZ)they took up stones to throw at Him; but Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple, (CA)going[p] through the midst of them, and so passed by.
