約翰福音 8
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
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。
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
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.
