Juan 8
Ang Biblia, 2001
Ang Babaing Nahuli sa Pangangalunya
8 Samantala, si Jesus ay pumunta sa bundok ng mga Olibo.
2 Kinaumagahan, siya ay bumalik sa templo, at ang buong bayan ay lumapit sa kanya. Siya'y naupo at sila'y tinuruan.
3 Dinala sa kanya ng mga eskriba at ng mga Fariseo ang isang babaing nahuli sa pangangalunya. Nang kanilang patayuin siya sa gitna,
4 ay sinabi nila sa kanya, “Guro, nahuli ang babaing ito sa akto ng pangangalunya.
5 Sa(A) kautusan ay ipinag-utos sa amin ni Moises na batuhin ang mga ganyan. Ano ngayon ang iyong masasabi tungkol sa kanya?”
6 Ngunit ito'y kanilang sinabi upang siya'y subukin, upang sa kanya'y may maiparatang sila. Subalit yumuko si Jesus, at isinulat ang kanyang daliri sa lupa.
7 Habang sila'y nagpapatuloy ng pagtatanong sa kanya, tumayo siya at sinabi sa kanila, “Ang walang kasalanan sa inyo ang siyang unang bumato sa kanya.”
8 At muli siyang yumuko, at isinulat ang kanyang daliri sa lupa.
9 Nang ito'y kanilang marinig ay isa-isa silang umalis, simula sa mga matatanda. At si Jesus ay naiwang nag-iisa at ang babaing nakatayo sa gitna.
10 Tumayo si Jesus at sinabi sa kanya, “Babae, nasaan sila? Wala na bang ni isang humatol sa iyo?”
11 At sinabi niya, “Walang sinuman, Panginoon.” Sinabi ni Jesus, “Hindi rin kita hinahatulan. Humayo ka na at mula ngayo'y huwag ka nang magkasala.”[a]]
Si Jesus na Ilaw ng Sanlibutan
12 Muling(B) nagsalita sa kanila si Jesus, “Ako ang ilaw ng sanlibutan. Ang sumusunod sa akin ay hindi kailanman lalakad sa kadiliman, kundi magkakaroon ng ilaw ng buhay.”
13 Sinabi(C) sa kanya ng mga Fariseo, “Nagpapatotoo ka tungkol sa iyong sarili; ang patotoo mo ay hindi totoo.”
14 Sumagot si Jesus, “Kung ako ma'y nagpapatotoo tungkol sa aking sarili, ang aking patotoo ay totoo; sapagkat nalalaman ko kung saan ako nanggaling, at kung saan ako pupunta. Subalit hindi ninyo nalalaman kung saan ako nanggaling, o kung saan ako pupunta.
15 Humahatol kayo ayon sa laman; ako'y hindi humahatol sa kaninuman.
16 At kung ako'y humatol man, ang hatol ko'y totoo, sapagkat hindi ako nag-iisa, kundi ako at ang Ama na nagsugo sa akin.
17 Maging(D) sa inyong kautusan ay nasusulat na ang patotoo ng dalawang tao ay totoo.
18 Ako ang nagpapatotoo tungkol sa aking sarili, at ang Amang nagsugo sa akin ay nagpapatotoo tungkol sa akin.”
19 Kaya't sinabi nila sa kanya, “Nasaan ang iyong Ama?” Sumagot si Jesus, “Hindi nga ninyo ako kilala o ang aking Ama. Kung ako'y inyong kilala ay kilala rin sana ninyo ang aking Ama.”
20 Sinabi niya ang mga salitang ito sa kabang-yaman habang nagtuturo siya sa templo. Subalit walang taong humuli sa kanya, sapagkat hindi pa dumating ang kanyang oras.
Ipinagpauna ni Jesus ang Kanyang Kamatayan
21 Muli niyang sinabi sa kanila, “Aalis ako, at ako'y inyong hahanapin, at mamamatay kayo sa inyong kasalanan. Sa aking pupuntahan ay hindi kayo makakapunta.”
22 Sinabi ng mga Judio, “Magpapakamatay kaya siya sapagkat kanyang sinabi, ‘Sa aking pupuntahan ay hindi kayo makakapunta.’”
23 Sinabi niya sa kanila, “Kayo'y mga taga-ibaba, ako'y taga-itaas. Kayo'y mga taga-sanlibutang ito; ako'y hindi taga-sanlibutang ito.
24 Kaya't sinabi ko sa inyo na kayo'y mamamatay sa inyong mga kasalanan, sapagkat malibang kayo'y sumampalataya na Ako Nga,[b] ay mamamatay kayo sa inyong mga kasalanan.”
25 Sinabi nila sa kanya, “Sino ka ba?” Sinabi sa kanila ni Jesus, “Bakit kailangan pang makipag-usap ako sa inyo?”
26 Mayroon akong maraming bagay na sasabihin at hahatulan tungkol sa inyo. Subalit ang nagsugo sa akin ay totoo, at sinasabi ko sa sanlibutan ang mga bagay na narinig ko sa kanya.”
27 Hindi nila naunawaan na siya ay nagsasalita sa kanila tungkol sa Ama.
28 Sinabi ni Jesus, “Kapag naitaas na ninyo ang Anak ng Tao, saka ninyo makikilala na ako nga siya, at wala akong ginagawa mula sa aking sarili kundi sinasabi ko ang mga bagay ayon sa itinuro sa akin ng Ama.
29 At siya na nagsugo sa akin ay kasama ko, hindi niya ako pinabayaang nag-iisa; sapagkat lagi kong ginagawa ang mga bagay na nakakalugod sa kanya.”
30 Samantalang sinasabi niya ang mga bagay na ito ay marami ang sumasampalataya sa kanya.
Ang Malalaya at ang mga Alipin
31 Pagkatapos ay sinabi ni Jesus sa mga Judiong sumasampalataya sa kanya, “Kung kayo'y mananatili sa aking salita, tunay ngang kayo'y mga alagad ko.
32 At inyong malalaman ang katotohanan, at ang katotohanan ang magpapalaya sa inyo.”
33 Sumagot(E) sila sa kanya, “Kami'y mula sa binhi ni Abraham, at kailanma'y hindi pa naging alipin ng sinuman. Bakit mo sinasabing, ‘Kayo'y magiging malaya’?”
34 Sinagot sila ni Jesus, “Katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo, ang bawat nagkakasala ay alipin ng kasalanan.
35 Ang alipin ay walang palagiang lugar sa sambahayan. Ang anak ay may lugar doon magpakailanman.
36 Kaya't kung kayo'y palayain ng Anak, kayo'y magiging tunay na malaya.
37 Nalalaman ko na kayo'y binhi ni Abraham; subalit pinagsisikapan ninyong ako'y patayin, sapagkat ang salita ko'y walang paglagyan sa inyo.
38 Sinasabi ko ang mga bagay na aking nakita sa aking Ama, at kayo, ginagawa naman ninyo ang mga bagay na narinig ninyo mula sa inyong ama.”
Si Jesus at si Abraham
39 Sila'y sumagot sa kanya, “Si Abraham ang aming ama.” Sa kanila'y sinabi ni Jesus, “Kung kayo'y mga anak ni Abraham ay gagawin ninyo ang mga gawa ni Abraham.
40 Subalit ngayo'y pinagsisikapan ninyo akong patayin, isang taong nagsasabi sa inyo ng katotohanan na aking narinig sa Diyos. Ito'y hindi ginawa ni Abraham.
41 Ginagawa ninyo ang mga gawa ng inyong ama.” Sinabi nila sa kanya, “Hindi kami ipinanganak sa pakikiapid. Mayroon kaming isang Ama, ang Diyos.”
42 Sinabi sa kanila ni Jesus, “Kung ang Diyos ang inyong ama, ay inibig ninyo sana ako, sapagkat ako'y nagmula sa Diyos at ngayon ay naririto ako. Hindi ako naparito mula sa aking sarili kundi sinugo niya ako.
43 Bakit hindi ninyo nauunawaan ang aking sinasabi? Sapagkat hindi ninyo matanggap ang aking salita.
44 Kayo'y mula sa inyong amang diyablo, at ang nais ninyong gawin ay ang kagustuhan ng inyong ama. Siya'y isang mamamatay-tao buhat pa sa simula, at hindi naninindigan sa katotohanan, sapagkat walang katotohanan sa kanya. Kapag siya ay nagsasalita ng kasinungalingan, siya ay nagsasalita ayon sa kanyang sariling likas, sapagkat siya'y isang sinungaling, at ama ng kasinungalingan.
45 Ngunit dahil sa sinasabi ko ang katotohanan ay hindi kayo nananampalataya sa akin.
46 Sino sa inyo ang makakasumbat sa akin tungkol sa kasalanan? Kung sinasabi ko ang katotohanan, bakit hindi kayo sumasampalataya sa akin?
47 Ang mula sa Diyos ay nakikinig ng mga salita ng Diyos. Ang dahilan kung bakit hindi ninyo pinakikinggan ang mga ito ay sapagkat kayo'y hindi mula sa Diyos.”
48 Sumagot ang mga Judio sa kanya, “Hindi ba tama ang aming sinabi na ikaw ay isang Samaritano at mayroon kang demonyo?”
49 Sumagot si Jesus, “Ako'y walang demonyo, kundi pinararangalan ko ang aking Ama, at inyong sinisira ang aking karangalan.
50 Ngunit hindi ko hinahanap ang aking sariling kaluwalhatian. Mayroong isa na humahanap nito at siya ang hukom.
51 Katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo, kung ang sinuman ay tutupad ng aking salita, hindi siya makakakita ng kamatayan kailanman.”
52 Sinabi ng mga Judio sa kanya, “Ngayo'y nalalaman naming mayroon kang demonyo. Namatay si Abraham at ang mga propeta, at sinasabi mo, ‘Kung ang sinuman ay tutupad ng aking salita, ay hindi niya matitikman magpakailanman ang kamatayan.’
53 Mas dakila ka pa ba kaysa sa aming amang si Abraham, na namatay? At namatay ang mga propeta? Ano ang palagay mo sa iyong sarili?”
54 Sumagot si Jesus, “Kung niluluwalhati ko ang aking sarili, ang kaluwalhatian ko ay walang kabuluhan. Ang aking Ama ang siyang lumuluwalhati sa akin, na sinasabi ninyong siya'y inyong Diyos.
55 Subalit hindi ninyo siya kilala, ngunit kilala ko siya. Kung aking sasabihing hindi ko siya kilala ay magiging katulad ninyo ako na sinungaling. Subalit kilala ko siya, at tinutupad ko ang kanyang salita.
56 Nagalak ang inyong amang si Abraham na makita niya ang aking araw. Nakita niya ito at siya'y nagalak.”
57 Sinabi sa kanya ng mga Judio, “Wala ka pang limampung taon, at nakita mo na si Abraham?”
58 Sinabi sa kanila ni Jesus, “Katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo, bago pa man si Abraham ay Ako Nga.”[c]
59 Kaya't sila'y dumampot ng mga bato upang ibato sa kanya, subalit nagtago si Jesus at lumabas sa templo.
John 8
New King James Version
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.

King James Version
8 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.
