约翰福音 8:31-59
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
真理必使人自由
31 于是耶稣对信了他的犹太人说:“你们若持守我的道,就真是我的门徒了; 32 你们必定认识真理,真理必定使你们自由。” 33 他们说:“我们是亚伯拉罕的后裔,从来没有被谁奴役过,你怎么说‘你们必得自由’呢?” 34 耶稣说:“我实实在在告诉你们,凡犯罪的都是罪的奴隶。 35 奴隶不能永远住在家里,唯有儿子才可以永远住在家里。 36 所以, 神的儿子若使你们自由,你们就真的得自由了。 37 我知道你们是亚伯拉罕的后裔;但你们想杀我,因为你们心里不能容纳我的道。 38 我所说的,是我在父那里看见的;但你们所作的,却是从你们的父那里听见的。”
魔鬼的儿女不肯听主的道
39 他们说:“我们的祖宗是亚伯拉罕。”耶稣说:“你们若是亚伯拉罕的子孙,就必作亚伯拉罕所作的。 40 现在我把从 神那里听见的真理告诉了你们,你们竟然想杀我,这不是亚伯拉罕所作的。 41 你们要作的,正是你们的父要作的。”他们说:“我们不是从淫乱生的;我们只有一位父,就是 神。” 42 耶稣说:“如果 神是你们的父,你们就必爱我,因为我是从 神那里来的;我已经来到这里。我不是凭着自己来的,而是 神差了我来。 43 你们为甚么不明白我的话呢?因为我的道你们听不进去。 44 你们是出于你们的父魔鬼,喜欢按着你们的父的私欲行事。他从起初就是杀人的凶手,不守真理,因为他心里没有真理。他说谎是出于本性,因为他本来就是说谎者,也是说谎的人的父。 45 我讲真理,你们却因此不信我。 46 你们中间有谁能指证我有罪呢?我既然讲真理,你们为甚么不信我呢? 47 出于 神的,就听 神的话;你们不听,因为你们不是出于 神的。”
亚伯拉罕以前耶稣已存在
48 犹太人对耶稣说:“我们说你是撒玛利亚人,并且是鬼附的,不是很对吗?” 49 耶稣回答:“我不是鬼附的。我尊敬我的父,你们却侮辱我。 50 我不求自己的荣耀,但有一位是为我求荣耀,并且是审判人的。 51 我实实在在告诉你们,人若遵守我的道,必定永远不见死亡。” 52 犹太人对他说:“现在我们知道你的确是鬼附的。亚伯拉罕死了,先知们也死了,你还说‘人若遵守我的道,必定永远不尝死味’, 53 难道你比我们的祖宗亚伯拉罕还大吗?他死了,先知们也死了;你把自己当作甚么人呢?” 54 耶稣回答:“如果我荣耀自己,我的荣耀就算不得甚么;那使我得荣耀的是我的父,就是你们说是你们的 神的那一位。 55 可是你们不认识他,我却认识他。如果我说我不认识他,我就像你们一样是说谎的;然而我认识他,也遵守他的道。 56 你们的祖宗亚伯拉罕,因为可以看见我的日子就欢喜,既然看见了,他就很快乐。” 57 犹太人对他说:“你还不到五十岁,怎会见过亚伯拉罕呢?” 58 耶稣说:“我实实在在告诉你们,亚伯拉罕出生以前,我已经存在了。” 59 于是他们拿起石头要打他。耶稣却躲起来,从殿里出去了。

真正的自由
31 耶稣对信祂的犹太人说:“你们若持守我的道,就真是我的门徒了。 32 你们必认识真理,真理必叫你们得到自由。”
33 他们说:“我们是亚伯拉罕的子孙,从来没有做过奴隶,你为什么说我们可以得到自由呢?”
34 耶稣说:“我实实在在地告诉你们,所有犯罪的人都是罪的奴隶。 35 奴隶不能永远留在主人的家里,只有儿子才可以。 36 所以,如果上帝的儿子释放了你们,你们就真正自由了!
耶稣和亚伯拉罕
37 “我知道你们是亚伯拉罕的子孙,但你们却想杀我,因为你们心里容不下我的道。 38 我所说的,是我从父那里看到的,你们却照着你们父[a]的话去做。”
39 他们说:“我们的父就是亚伯拉罕!”
耶稣说:“你们如果真是亚伯拉罕的子孙,一定会做他所做的事。 40 我把从上帝那里听到的真理告诉你们,你们反要杀我,亚伯拉罕绝不做这样的事。 41 你们是在做你们父所做的事。”
他们说:“我们不是从淫乱生的!我们只有一位父,就是上帝。”
42 耶稣说:“如果上帝是你们的父,你们一定会爱我,因为我来自上帝。如今我在这里,我不是凭自己来的,而是上帝差我来的, 43 你们为什么不明白我的话呢?因为你们听不进去我的道。 44 你们是出于你们的父魔鬼,你们乐意顺着它的私欲行。魔鬼从起初就是个杀人凶手,从不站在真理这一边,因为它心里根本没有真理。撒谎是它的本性,因为它是撒谎者,又是撒谎者的始祖。 45 所以,我讲真理的时候,你们不信我。 46 你们谁能指证我有罪呢?我既然把真理告诉了你们,你们为什么还不信我呢? 47 出于上帝的人听上帝的话,你们不听上帝的话,因为你们不是出于上帝。”
48 犹太人对祂说:“我们说你是撒玛利亚人[b],被鬼附身了,难道不对吗?”
49 耶稣说:“我没有被鬼附身。我尊敬我的父,你们却侮辱我。 50 我不为自己寻求荣耀,但有一位会为我寻求,祂也会断定谁是谁非。 51 我实实在在地告诉你们,人如果遵行我的道,必永远不死。”
52 那些犹太人说:“现在我们的确知道你是被鬼附身了!亚伯拉罕和众先知都死了,你还说人如果遵行你的道,必永远不死。 53 难道你比我们的祖先亚伯拉罕还大吗?他死了,先知们也死了,你以为你是谁?”
54 耶稣说:“如果我为自己争取荣耀,那荣耀算不了什么。但使我得荣耀的是我的父,你们也称祂为你们的上帝。 55 你们不认识祂,我却认识祂。如果我说我不认识祂,那我就像你们一样是说谎的。然而,我认识祂,并且遵行祂的道。 56 你们的祖先亚伯拉罕曾经欢欢喜喜地盼望看见我来的日子。他看见了,就欢喜快乐。”
57 犹太人说:“你还不到五十岁,怎么会见过亚伯拉罕呢?”
58 耶稣说:“我实实在在地告诉你们,亚伯拉罕还没有出生,我就已经存在了[c]。” 59 于是,他们就拿起石头要打祂,耶稣却避开他们,离开了圣殿。

John 8:31-59
New International Version
Dispute Over Whose Children Jesus’ Opponents Are
31 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching,(A) you are really my disciples. 32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”(B)
33 They answered him, “We are Abraham’s descendants(C) 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.(D) 35 Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever.(E) 36 So if the Son sets you free,(F) you will be free indeed. 37 I know that you are Abraham’s descendants. Yet you are looking for a way to kill me,(G) because you have no room for my word. 38 I am telling you what I have seen in the Father’s presence,(H) and you are doing what you have heard from your father.[a]”(I)
39 “Abraham is our father,” they answered.
“If you were Abraham’s children,”(J) said Jesus, “then you would[b] do what Abraham did. 40 As it is, you are looking for a way to kill me,(K) a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God.(L) Abraham did not do such things. 41 You are doing the works of your own father.”(M)
“We are not illegitimate children,” they protested. “The only Father we have is God himself.”(N)
42 Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me,(O) for I have come here from God.(P) I have not come on my own;(Q) God sent me.(R) 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,(S) and you want to carry out your father’s desires.(T) 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.(U) 45 Yet because I tell the truth,(V) 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.(W) 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(X) and demon-possessed?”(Y)
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;(Z) 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.”(AA)
52 At this they exclaimed, “Now we know that you are demon-possessed!(AB) 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?(AC) He died, and so did the prophets. Who do you think you are?”
54 Jesus replied, “If I glorify myself,(AD) my glory means nothing. My Father, whom you claim as your God, is the one who glorifies me.(AE) 55 Though you do not know him,(AF) I know him.(AG) If I said I did not, I would be a liar like you, but I do know him and obey his word.(AH) 56 Your father Abraham(AI) rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it(AJ) 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,(AK) I am!”(AL) 59 At this, they picked up stones to stone him,(AM) but Jesus hid himself,(AN) slipping away from the temple grounds.
John 8:31-59
New King James Version
The Truth Shall Make You Free
31 Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you (A)abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. 32 And you shall know the (B)truth, and (C)the truth shall make you free.”
33 They answered Him, (D)“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, (E)whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. 35 And (F)a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. 36 (G)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 (H)you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you. 38 (I)I speak what I have seen with My Father, and you do what you have [a]seen with your father.”
39 They answered and said to Him, (J)“Abraham is our father.”
Jesus said to them, (K)“If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham. 40 (L)But now you seek to kill Me, a Man who has told you the truth (M)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; (N)we have one Father—God.”
42 Jesus said to them, (O)“If God were your Father, you would love Me, for (P)I proceeded forth and came from God; (Q)nor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me. 43 (R)Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word. 44 (S)You are of your father the devil, and the (T)desires of your father you want to (U)do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and (V)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 (W)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 (X)have a demon?”
49 Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon; but I honor My Father, and (Y)you dishonor Me. 50 And (Z)I do not seek My own glory; there is One who seeks and judges. 51 Most assuredly, I say to you, (AA)if anyone keeps My word he shall never see death.”
52 Then the Jews said to Him, “Now we know that You (AB)have a demon! (AC)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. (AD)Who do You make Yourself out to be?”
54 Jesus answered, (AE)“If I honor Myself, My honor is nothing. (AF)It is My Father who honors Me, of whom you say that He is [b]your God. 55 Yet (AG)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 (AH)keep His word. 56 Your father Abraham (AI)rejoiced to see My day, (AJ)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, (AK)before Abraham was, (AL)I AM.”
59 Then (AM)they took up stones to throw at Him; but Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple, (AN)going[c] through the midst of them, and so passed by.
