约翰福音 8
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
耶穌不定犯姦淫婦人的罪
8 耶穌往橄欖山去。 2 黎明的時候，他又到聖殿去，眾人都來到他那裡，他就坐下教導他們。 3 經學家和法利賽人帶了一個行淫時被抓到的婦人來，叫她站在中間， 4 就對耶穌說：“先生，這婦人是正在犯姦淫的時候被抓到的。 5 摩西在律法上吩咐我們把這樣的婦人用石頭打死，你怎樣說呢？” 6 他們說這話是要試探耶穌，要找把柄來控告他。耶穌卻彎下身，用指頭在地上寫字。 7 他們不住地問耶穌，他就挺起身來，說：“你們中間誰是沒有罪的，他就可以先拿起石頭打她。” 8 於是又彎下身在地上寫字。 9 他們聽了這話，就從年老的開始，一個一個地都離開了，留下的只有耶穌和那個還站在那裡的婦人。 10 耶穌挺起身來，問她：“婦人，他們在哪裡？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。走吧，從現在起不要再犯罪了。”
耶穌是世界的光
12 耶穌又對眾人說：“我是世界的光，跟從我的，必定不在黑暗裡走，卻要得著生命的光。” 13 法利賽人對他說：“你為自己作證，你的見證不是真實的。” 14 耶穌回答：“即使我為自己作證，我的見證還是真實的，因為我知道我從哪裡來，往哪裡去，但你們卻不知道我從哪裡來，往哪裡去。 15 你們按著外貌判斷人，我卻不判斷人。 16 即使我判斷人，我的判斷也是正確的，因為我不是獨自一人，而是差我來的父和我在一起。 17 你們的律法上也寫著：‘兩個人的見證才是真的。’ 18 我為自己作證，差我來的父也為我作證。” 19 他們問：“你的父在哪裡？”耶穌回答：“你們不認識我，也不認識我的父；如果你們認識我，也就認識我的父了。” 20 這些話是耶穌在殿裡教導人的時候，在銀庫的院中說的。當時沒有人逮捕他，因為他的時候還沒有到。
不信基督的必在罪中死亡
21 耶穌又對他們說：“我要去了，你們要尋找我，並且要在自己的罪中死亡；我去的地方，你們不能到。” 22 於是猶太人說：“他說‘我去的地方，你們不能到’，難道他要自殺嗎？” 23 耶穌說：“你們是從地上來的，我是從天上來的；你們屬這世界，我卻不屬這世界， 24 所以我對你們說，你們要在自己的罪中死亡；你們若不信我就是‘那一位’，就要在自己的罪中死亡。” 25 他們就問：“你是誰？”耶穌說：“我不是從起初就告訴你們嗎？ 26 關於你們，我有許多事要說，要判斷；但那差我來的是真實的，我從他那裡聽見的，就告訴世人。” 27 他們不明白耶穌是對他們講論父的事。 28 所以耶穌說：“你們舉起了人子以後，必定知道我就是‘那一位’，並且知道我不憑著自己作甚麼事；我說的這些話，是照著父所教導我的。 29 那差我來的和我同在，他沒有留下我獨自一人，因為我常作他喜悅的事。” 30 耶穌說這些話的時候，就有許多人信了他。
真理必使人自由
31 於是耶穌對信了他的猶太人說：“你們若持守我的道，就真是我的門徒了； 32 你們必定認識真理，真理必定使你們自由。” 33 他們說：“我們是亞伯拉罕的後裔，從來沒有被誰奴役過，你怎麼說‘你們必得自由’呢？” 34 耶穌說：“我實實在在告訴你們，凡犯罪的都是罪的奴隸。 35 奴隸不能永遠住在家裡，唯有兒子才可以永遠住在家裡。 36 所以， 神的兒子若使你們自由，你們就真的得自由了。 37 我知道你們是亞伯拉罕的後裔；但你們想殺我，因為你們心裡不能容納我的道。 38 我所說的，是我在父那裡看見的；但你們所作的，卻是從你們的父那裡聽見的。”
魔鬼的兒女不肯聽主的道
39 他們說：“我們的祖宗是亞伯拉罕。”耶穌說：“你們若是亞伯拉罕的子孫，就必作亞伯拉罕所作的。 40 現在我把從 神那裡聽見的真理告訴了你們，你們竟然想殺我，這不是亞伯拉罕所作的。 41 你們要作的，正是你們的父要作的。”他們說：“我們不是從淫亂生的；我們只有一位父，就是 神。” 42 耶穌說：“如果 神是你們的父，你們就必愛我，因為我是從 神那裡來的；我已經來到這裡。我不是憑著自己來的，而是 神差了我來。 43 你們為甚麼不明白我的話呢？因為我的道你們聽不進去。 44 你們是出於你們的父魔鬼，喜歡按著你們的父的私慾行事。他從起初就是殺人的兇手，不守真理，因為他心裡沒有真理。他說謊是出於本性，因為他本來就是說謊者，也是說謊的人的父。 45 我講真理，你們卻因此不信我。 46 你們中間有誰能指證我有罪呢？我既然講真理，你們為甚麼不信我呢？ 47 出於 神的，就聽 神的話；你們不聽，因為你們不是出於 神的。”
亞伯拉罕以前耶穌已存在
48 猶太人對耶穌說：“我們說你是撒瑪利亞人，並且是鬼附的，不是很對嗎？” 49 耶穌回答：“我不是鬼附的。我尊敬我的父，你們卻侮辱我。 50 我不求自己的榮耀，但有一位是為我求榮耀，並且是審判人的。 51 我實實在在告訴你們，人若遵守我的道，必定永遠不見死亡。” 52 猶太人對他說：“現在我們知道你的確是鬼附的。亞伯拉罕死了，先知們也死了，你還說‘人若遵守我的道，必定永遠不嘗死味’， 53 難道你比我們的祖宗亞伯拉罕還大嗎？他死了，先知們也死了；你把自己當作甚麼人呢？” 54 耶穌回答：“如果我榮耀自己，我的榮耀就算不得甚麼；那使我得榮耀的是我的父，就是你們說是你們的 神的那一位。 55 可是你們不認識他，我卻認識他。如果我說我不認識他，我就像你們一樣是說謊的；然而我認識他，也遵守他的道。 56 你們的祖宗亞伯拉罕，因為可以看見我的日子就歡喜，既然看見了，他就很快樂。” 57 猶太人對他說：“你還不到五十歲，怎會見過亞伯拉罕呢？” 58 耶穌說：“我實實在在告訴你們，亞伯拉罕出生以前，我已經存在了。” 59 於是他們拿起石頭要打他。耶穌卻躲起來，從殿裡出去了。
John 8
GOD’S WORD Translation
A Woman Caught in Adultery
8 Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 2 Early the next morning he returned to the temple courtyard. All the people went to him, so he sat down and began to teach them.
3 The experts in Moses’ Teachings and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught committing adultery. They made her stand in front of everyone 4 and asked Jesus, “Teacher, we caught this woman in the act of adultery. 5 In his teachings, Moses ordered us to stone women like this to death. What do you say?” 6 They asked this to test him. They wanted to find a reason to bring charges against him.
Jesus bent down and used his finger to write on the ground. 7 When they persisted in asking him questions, he straightened up and said, “The person who is sinless should be the first to throw a stone at her.” 8 Then he bent down again and continued writing on the ground.
9 One by one, beginning with the older men, the experts in Moses’ Teachings and Pharisees left. Jesus was left alone with the woman. 10 Then Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Where did they go? Has anyone condemned you?”
11 The woman answered, “No one, sir.”
Jesus said, “I don’t condemn you either. Go! From now on don’t sin.”
Jesus Speaks with the Pharisees about His Father
12 Jesus spoke to the Pharisees again. He said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will have a life filled with light and will never live in the dark.”
13 The Pharisees said to him, “You testify on your own behalf, so your testimony isn’t true.”
14 Jesus replied to them, “Even if I testify on my own behalf, my testimony is true because I know where I came from and where I’m going. However, you don’t know where I came from or where I’m going. 15 You judge the way humans do. I don’t judge anyone. 16 Even if I do judge, my judgment is valid because I don’t make it on my own. I make my judgment with the Father who sent me. 17 Your own teachings say that the testimony of two people is true. 18 I testify on my own behalf, and so does the Father who sent me.”
19 The Pharisees asked him, “Where is your father?”
Jesus replied, “You don’t know me or my Father. If you knew me, you would also know my Father.”
20 Jesus spoke these words while he was teaching in the treasury area of the temple courtyard. No one arrested him, because his time had not yet come.
21 Jesus spoke to the Pharisees again. He said, “I’m going away, and you’ll look for me. But you will die because of your sin. You can’t go where I’m going.”
22 Then the Jews asked, “Is he going to kill himself? Is that what he means when he says, ‘You can’t go where I’m going’?”
23 Jesus said to them, “You’re from below. I’m from above. You’re from this world. I’m not from this world. 24 For this reason I told you that you’ll die because of your sins. If you don’t believe that I am the one, you’ll die because of your sins.”
25 The Jews asked him, “Who did you say you are?”
Jesus told them, “I am who I said I was from the beginning. 26 I have a lot I could say about you and a lot I could condemn you for. But the one who sent me is true. So I tell the world exactly what he has told me.” 27 (The Jews didn’t know that he was talking to them about the Father.)
28 So Jesus told them, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you’ll know that I am the one and that I can’t do anything on my own. Instead, I speak as the Father taught me. 29 Besides, the one who sent me is with me. He hasn’t left me by myself. I always do what pleases him.”
30 As Jesus was saying this, many people believed in him. 31 So Jesus said to those Jews who believed in him, “If you live by what I say, you are truly my disciples. 32 You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
33 They replied to Jesus, “We are Abraham’s descendants, and we’ve never been anyone’s slaves. So how can you say that we will be set free?”
34 Jesus answered them, “I can guarantee this truth: Whoever lives a sinful life is a slave to sin. 35 A slave doesn’t live in the home forever, but a son does. 36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be absolutely free. 37 I know that you’re Abraham’s descendants. However, you want to kill me because you don’t like what I’m saying. 38 What I’m saying is what I have seen in my Father’s presence. But you do what you’ve heard from your father.”
39 The Jews replied to Jesus, “Abraham is our father.”
Jesus told them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do what Abraham did. 40 I am a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. But now you want to kill me. Abraham wouldn’t have done that. 41 You’re doing what your father does.”
The Jews said to Jesus, “We’re not illegitimate children. God is our only Father.”
42 Jesus told them, “If God were your Father, you would love me. After all, I’m here, and I came from God. I didn’t come on my own. Instead, God sent me. 43 Why don’t you understand the language I use? Is it because you can’t understand the words I use? 44 You come from your father, the devil, and you desire to do what your father wants you to do. The devil was a murderer from the beginning. He has never been truthful. He doesn’t know what the truth is. Whenever he tells a lie, he’s doing what comes naturally to him. He’s a liar and the father of lies. 45 So you don’t believe me because I tell the truth. 46 Can any of you convict me of committing a sin? If I’m telling the truth, why don’t you believe me? 47 The person who belongs to God understands what God says. You don’t understand because you don’t belong to God.”
48 The Jews replied to Jesus, “Aren’t we right when we say that you’re a Samaritan and that you’re possessed by a demon?”
49 Jesus answered, “I’m not possessed. I honor my Father, but you dishonor me. 50 I don’t want my own glory. But there is someone who wants it, and he is the judge. 51 I can guarantee this truth: Whoever obeys what I say will never see death.”
52 The Jews told Jesus, “Now we know that you’re possessed by a demon. Abraham died, and so did the prophets, but you say, ‘Whoever does what I say will never taste death.’ 53 Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? The prophets have also died. Who do you think you are?”
54 Jesus said, “If I bring glory to myself, my glory is nothing. My Father is the one who gives me glory, and you say that he is your God. 55 Yet, you haven’t known him. However, I know him. If I would say that I didn’t know him, I would be a liar like all of you. But I do know him, and I do what he says. 56 Your father Abraham was pleased to see that my day was coming. He saw it and was happy.”
57 The Jews said to Jesus, “You’re not even fifty years old. How could you have seen Abraham?”
58 Jesus told them, “I can guarantee this truth: Before Abraham was ever born, I am.”
59 Then some of the Jews picked up stones to throw at Jesus. However, Jesus was concealed, and he left the temple courtyard.

Preljubnica
8 Isus je pak otišao na Maslinsku goru. 2 U zoru se ponovo vratio u Hram. Svi su se opet okupili oko njega. Isus je sjeo i počeo poučavati. 3 Uto su učitelji Zakona[a] i farizeji doveli ženu uhvaćenu u preljubu i postavili je pred ljude. 4 Rekli su Isusu: »Učitelju, ova je žena uhvaćena u preljubu. 5 Mojsije nam je u Zakonu naredio da takve žene kamenujemo. Što ti kažeš na to?« 6 Ovo je pitanje bila zamka—da bi ga imali za što optužiti. No Isus se sagnuo i počeo nešto pisati prstom po zemlji. 7 Kako nisu prestajali ispitivati, uspravio se i rekao: »Tko od vas nikada nije sagriješio, neka prvi na nju baci kamen!« 8 Potom se ponovo sagnuo i nastavio pisati po zemlji.
9 Kad su to čuli, počeli su odlaziti jedan po jedan; stariji su otišli prvi. Na kraju je Isus ostao sâm sa ženom koja je još uvijek stajala pred njim. 10 Isus se uspravio i upitao je: »Ženo, gdje su oni? Zar te nitko nije osudio?«
11 »Nitko, gospodine«, odgovorila je.
»Ni ja te ne osuđujem«, rekao joj je Isus. »Idi i od sada više ne griješi!«[b]
Isus—svjetlo svijeta
12 Tada se Isus ponovo obratio ljudima: »Ja sam svjetlo svijeta. Tko mene slijedi, imat će svjetlo koje daje život i nikada više neće hodati po mraku.«
13 Farizeji su mu rekli: »Ti sve to govoriš sâm o sebi. Ne možemo to prihvatiti kao istinu.«
14 »Čak i ako govorim sâm za sebe«, odvratio im je Isus, »ono što govorim, istina je, jer znam odakle sam došao i kamo idem. Vi pak ne znate ni odakle sam došao ni kamo idem. 15 Sudite ljudskim mjerilima. Ja ne sudim nikome. 16 Ako pak donosim presudu, moja je presuda ispravna jer je ne donosim sâm. Otac koji me je poslao—on je sa mnom. 17 U vašem Zakonu piše da su izjave dvojice svjedoka istinite ako se podudaraju. 18 Ja govorim sâm za sebe i Otac, koji me je poslao, govori za mene.«
19 »Pa gdje je onda tvoj Otac?« pitali su ga.
Isus je odgovorio: »Vi ne poznajete ni mene ni moga Oca. Da znate tko sam ja, znali biste i tko je moj Otac.« 20 Sve je ovo Isus rekao u Hramu, nedaleko od mjesta na kojem su bile postavljene kutije za novčane darove. Nitko ga nije uhitio jer njegovo vrijeme još nije bilo došlo.
Isus je s Neba
21 Isus im je ponovo rekao: »Ja ću otići. Tada ćete me tražiti i umrijet ćete u svojim grijesima. Kamo ja idem—vi ne možete doći.«
22 Na to su Židovi rekli: »Kada kaže: ‘Kamo ja idem—vi ne možete doći’, znači li to da će izvršiti samoubojstvo?«
23 Isus im je rekao: »Vi ste odavde, sa Zemlje, ja sam odozgo, s Neba. Vi ste od ovoga svijeta; ja nisam od ovoga svijeta. 24 Zato sam vam rekao da ćete umrijeti u svojim grijesima. Ako ne budete vjerovali da ja jesam[c], umrijet ćete u svojim grijesima.«
25 »Tko si ti onda?« pitali su ga.
»Baš ono što vam govorim otpočetka«, odgovorio im je Isus. 26 »O vama bih mogao štošta reći i suditi. Ali ja svijetu govorim samo ono što sam čuo od onoga koji me poslao, a on govori istinu.«
27 Nisu shvatili da im govori o Ocu. 28 Zato im je rekao: »Kad podignete[d] Sina Čovječjeg, tada ćete znati da ja jesam. Ja ništa ne činim na svoju ruku, već govorim samo ono što me naučio Otac. 29 Onaj koji me poslao, sa mnom je. Nije me ostavio samoga jer ja uvijek činim ono što je njemu drago.« 30 Dok je Isus ovo govorio, mnogi su povjerovali u njega.
Istina će vas osloboditi
31 Isus je rekao Židovima koji su povjerovali u njega: »Ako ustrajno slijedite moje učenje, zaista ste moji pravi učenici. 32 Upoznat ćete istinu i istina će vas osloboditi.«
33 »Mi smo Abrahamovi potomci«, odgovorili su mu. »Nikad nismo bili ničiji robovi. Što misliš time reći: ‘Bit ćete slobodni’?«
34 Isus im je odgovorio: »Istinu vam kažem. Svatko tko griješi, rob je grijehu. 35 Rob ne ostaje u obitelji zauvijek, ali sin ostaje zauvijek. 36 Ako vas Sin oslobodi, onda ćete zaista biti slobodni. Znam dobro da ste vi Abrahamovi potomci. 37 No, ipak, želite me ubiti jer ne želite prihvatiti moje učenje. 38 Govorim o onome što mi je pokazao moj Otac, a vi činite ono što je vama rekao vaš otac.«
39 Odgovorili su mu: »Naš je otac Abraham!«
Isus im je odvratio: »Da ste vi zaista Abrahamova djeca, postupili biste kao i on. 40 Ja sam čovjek koji vam je rekao istinu što sam je čuo od Boga. Vi me pak želite ubiti. Takvo što Abraham nije radio. 41 Vi radite ono što radi i vaš otac!«
A oni su mu odvratili: »Mi nismo djeca koja ne znaju tko im je otac. Imamo samo jednoga oca: Boga!«
42 A Isus im je rekao: »Kad bi Bog bio vaš otac, voljeli biste me. Ja sam došao od Boga i sada sam tu. Nisam došao sâm od sebe, nego me poslao Bog. 43 Vi ne razumijete što vam govorim jer ne možete prihvatiti moju poruku. 44 Vi ste đavlova djeca. On je vaš otac i vi ste izabrali postupati po njegovoj volji. On je bio ubojica od samoga početka. Nikada nije stajao na strani istine jer u njemu niti nema istine. Kad govori laž, iznosi sebe onakvog kakav jest. On je lažljivac i otac laži. 45 Vi mi ne vjerujete jer govorim istinu. 46 Tko mi među vama može dokazati grijeh? Ako govorim istinu, zašto mi ne vjerujete? 47 Onaj koji pripada Bogu, prihvaća što govori Bog. No vi ne slušate Boga jer mu ne pripadate.«
Isus i Abraham
48 Židovi su mu na to odgovorili: »Zar nemamo pravo kad kažemo da si Samarijanac i da si opsjednut zlim duhom?«
49 »Nisam ja opsjednut zlim duhom«, odvratio je Isus. »Ja samo iskazujem štovanje svom Ocu, a vi me obeščašćujete. 50 Ali ja ne tražim slavu za sebe. Netko me drugi želi proslaviti, a taj i sudi. 51 Govorim vam istinu. Tko drži moje učenje, nikada neće vidjeti smrti.«
52 Židovi su mu rekli: »Sada znamo da si opsjednut. I Abraham i proroci su umrli, a ti govoriš: ‘Tko drži moje učenje, nikada neće umrijeti.’ 53 Zar misliš da si veći od našeg oca Abrahama? Abraham je umro, a isto tako i proroci. Što ti misliš, tko si ti?«
54 Isus je odgovorio: »Kad bih ja samom sebi iskazivao čast, ona bi bila bez ikakve vrijednosti. Ali meni iskazuje čast moj Otac. Za njega vi govorite: ‘On je naš Bog.’ 55 Pa ipak ga ne poznajete, ali ja ga poznajem. Da kažem da ga ne poznajem, bio bih lažljivac poput vas. Ali ja ga zaista poznajem i pokoravam se onome što kaže. 56 Vaš praotac Abraham radovao se što će vidjeti dan moga dolaska. Vidio ga je i bio je sretan.«
57 Židovi su ga upitali: »Kako si mogao vidjeti Abrahama? Ti nemaš ni pedeset godina!«
58 Isus im je odgovorio: »Govorim vam istinu. Prije nego što se Abraham rodio, ja jesam.« Kad je ovo rekao, dohvatili su kamenje da ga kamenuju. 59 Ali Isus se sakrio i otišao iz Hrama.
