约翰福音 8
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
耶稣不定犯奸淫妇人的罪
8 耶稣往橄榄山去。 2 黎明的时候，他又到圣殿去，众人都来到他那里，他就坐下教导他们。 3 经学家和法利赛人带了一个行淫时被抓到的妇人来，叫她站在中间， 4 就对耶稣说：“先生，这妇人是正在犯奸淫的时候被抓到的。 5 摩西在律法上吩咐我们把这样的妇人用石头打死，你怎样说呢？” 6 他们说这话是要试探耶稣，要找把柄来控告他。耶稣却弯下身，用指头在地上写字。 7 他们不住地问耶稣，他就挺起身来，说：“你们中间谁是没有罪的，他就可以先拿起石头打她。” 8 于是又弯下身在地上写字。 9 他们听了这话，就从年老的开始，一个一个地都离开了，留下的只有耶稣和那个还站在那里的妇人。 10 耶稣挺起身来，问她：“妇人，他们在哪里？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。走吧，从现在起不要再犯罪了。”
耶稣是世界的光
12 耶稣又对众人说：“我是世界的光，跟从我的，必定不在黑暗里走，却要得着生命的光。” 13 法利赛人对他说：“你为自己作证，你的见证不是真实的。” 14 耶稣回答：“即使我为自己作证，我的见证还是真实的，因为我知道我从哪里来，往哪里去，但你们却不知道我从哪里来，往哪里去。 15 你们按着外貌判断人，我却不判断人。 16 即使我判断人，我的判断也是正确的，因为我不是独自一人，而是差我来的父和我在一起。 17 你们的律法上也写着：‘两个人的见证才是真的。’ 18 我为自己作证，差我来的父也为我作证。” 19 他们问：“你的父在哪里？”耶稣回答：“你们不认识我，也不认识我的父；如果你们认识我，也就认识我的父了。” 20 这些话是耶稣在殿里教导人的时候，在银库的院中说的。当时没有人逮捕他，因为他的时候还没有到。
不信基督的必在罪中死亡
21 耶稣又对他们说：“我要去了，你们要寻找我，并且要在自己的罪中死亡；我去的地方，你们不能到。” 22 于是犹太人说：“他说‘我去的地方，你们不能到’，难道他要自杀吗？” 23 耶稣说：“你们是从地上来的，我是从天上来的；你们属这世界，我却不属这世界， 24 所以我对你们说，你们要在自己的罪中死亡；你们若不信我就是‘那一位’，就要在自己的罪中死亡。” 25 他们就问：“你是谁？”耶稣说：“我不是从起初就告诉你们吗？ 26 关于你们，我有许多事要说，要判断；但那差我来的是真实的，我从他那里听见的，就告诉世人。” 27 他们不明白耶稣是对他们讲论父的事。 28 所以耶稣说：“你们举起了人子以后，必定知道我就是‘那一位’，并且知道我不凭着自己作甚么事；我说的这些话，是照着父所教导我的。 29 那差我来的和我同在，他没有留下我独自一人，因为我常作他喜悦的事。” 30 耶稣说这些话的时候，就有许多人信了他。
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。
John 8
Good News Translation
The Woman Caught in Adultery
8 Then everyone went home, but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 2 Early the next morning he went back to the Temple. All the people gathered around him, and he sat down and began to teach them. 3 The teachers of the Law and the Pharisees brought in a woman who had been caught committing adultery, and they made her stand before them all. 4 “Teacher,” they said to Jesus, “this woman was caught in the very act of committing adultery. 5 (A)In our Law Moses commanded that such a woman must be stoned to death. Now, what do you say?” 6 They said this to trap Jesus, so that they could accuse him. But he bent over and wrote on the ground with his finger. 7 (B)As they stood there asking him questions, he straightened up and said to them, “Whichever one of you has committed no sin may throw the first stone at her.” 8 Then he bent over again and wrote on the ground. 9 When they heard this, they all left, one by one, the older ones first. Jesus was left alone, with the woman still standing there. 10 He straightened up and said to her, “Where are they? Is there no one left to condemn you?”
11 “No one, sir,” she answered.
“Well, then,” Jesus said, “I do not condemn you either. Go, but do not sin again.”][a]
Jesus the Light of the World
12 (C)Jesus spoke to the Pharisees again. “I am the light of the world,” he said. “Whoever follows me will have the light of life and will never walk in darkness.”
13 (D)The Pharisees said to him, “Now you are testifying on your own behalf; what you say proves nothing.”
14 “No,” Jesus answered, “even though I do testify on my own behalf, what I say is true, because I know where I came from and where I am going. You do not know where I came from or where I am going. 15 You make judgments in a purely human way; I pass judgment on no one. 16 But if I were to do so, my judgment would be true, because I am not alone in this; the Father who sent me is with me. 17 (E)It is written in your Law that when two witnesses agree, what they say is true. 18 I testify on my own behalf, and the Father who sent me also testifies on my behalf.”
19 “Where is your father?” they asked him.
“You know neither me nor my Father,” Jesus answered. “If you knew me, you would know my Father also.”
20 Jesus said all this as he taught in the Temple, in the room where the offering boxes were placed. And no one arrested him, because his hour had not come.
You Cannot Go Where I Am Going
21 Again Jesus said to them, “I will go away; you will look for me, but you will die in your sins. You cannot go where I am going.”
22 So the Jewish authorities said, “He says that we cannot go where he is going. Does this mean that he will kill himself?”
23 Jesus answered, “You belong to this world here below, but I come from above. You are from this world, but I am not from this world. 24 That is why I told you that you will die in your sins. And you will die in your sins if you do not believe that ‘I Am Who I Am’.”
25 “Who are you?” they asked him.
Jesus answered, “What I have told you from the very beginning.[b] 26 I have much to say about you, much to condemn you for. The one who sent me, however, is truthful, and I tell the world only what I have heard from him.”
27 They did not understand that Jesus was talking to them about the Father. 28 So he said to them, “When you lift up the Son of Man, you will know that ‘I Am Who I Am’; then you will know that I do nothing on my own authority, but I say only what the Father has instructed me to say. 29 And he who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, because I always do what pleases him.”
30 Many who heard Jesus say these things believed in him.
The Truth Will Set You Free
31 So Jesus said to those who believed in him, “If you obey my teaching, you are really my disciples; 32 (F)you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
33 (G)“We are the descendants of Abraham,” they answered, “and we have never been anybody's slaves. What do you mean, then, by saying, ‘You will be free’?”
34 Jesus said to them, “I am telling you the truth: everyone who sins is a slave of sin. 35 A slave does not belong to a family permanently, but a son belongs there forever. 36 If the Son sets you free, then you will be really free. 37 I know you are Abraham's descendants. Yet you are trying to kill me, because you will not accept my teaching. 38 I talk about what my Father has shown me, but you do what your father has told you.”
39 They answered him, “Our father is Abraham.”
“If you really were Abraham's children,” Jesus replied, “you would do[c] the same things that he did. 40 All I have ever done is to tell you the truth I heard from God, yet you are trying to kill me. Abraham did nothing like this! 41 You are doing what your father did.”
“God himself is the only Father we have,” they answered, “and we are his true children.”
42 Jesus said to them, “If God really were your Father, you would love me, because I came from God and now I am here. I did not come on my own authority, but he sent me. 43 Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to listen to my message. 44 (H)You are the children of your father, the Devil, and you want to follow your father's desires. From the very beginning he was a murderer and has never been on the side of truth, because there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he is only doing what is natural to him, because he is a liar and the father of all lies. 45 But I tell the truth, and that is why you do not believe me. 46 Which one of you can prove that I am guilty of sin? If I tell the truth, then why do you not believe me? 47 He who comes from God listens to God's words. You, however, are not from God, and that is why you will not listen.”
Jesus and Abraham
48 They asked Jesus, “Were we not right in saying that you are a Samaritan and have a demon in you?”
49 “I have no demon,” Jesus answered. “I honor my Father, but you dishonor me. 50 I am not seeking honor for myself. But there is one who is seeking it and who judges in my favor. 51 I am telling you the truth: whoever obeys my teaching will never die.”
52 They said to him, “Now we know for sure that you have a demon! Abraham died, and the prophets died, yet you say that whoever obeys your teaching will never die. 53 Our father Abraham died; you do not claim to be greater than Abraham, do you? And the prophets also died. Who do you think you are?”
54 Jesus answered, “If I were to honor myself, that honor would be worth nothing. The one who honors me is my Father—the very one you say is your God. 55 You have never known him, but I know him. If I were to say that I do not know him, I would be a liar like you. But I do know him, and I obey his word. 56 Your father Abraham rejoiced that he was to see the time of my coming; he saw it and was glad.”
57 They said to him, “You are not even fifty years old—and you have seen Abraham?”[d]
58 “I am telling you the truth,” Jesus replied. “Before Abraham was born, ‘I Am’.”
59 Then they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and left the Temple.

American Standard Version
8 1 but 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 the Pharisees bring a woman taken in adultery; and having set her in the midst, 4 they say unto him, Teacher, this woman hath been taken in adultery, in the very act. 5 [a]Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such: what then sayest thou of her? 6 And this they said, trying him, that they might have whereof to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground. 7 But 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 with his finger wrote on the ground. 9 And they, when they heard it, went out one by one, beginning from the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman, where she was, in the midst. 10 And Jesus lifted up himself, and said unto her, Woman, where are they? did no man condemn thee? 11 And she said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said, Neither do I condemn thee: go thy way; from henceforth sin no more.]
12 Again therefore Jesus spake unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life. 13 The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest witness of thyself; thy witness is not true. 14 Jesus answered and said unto them, Even if I bear witness of myself, my witness is true; for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye know not whence I come, or whither I go. 15 Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man. 16 Yea and if I judge, my judgment is true; for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me. 17 Yea and in your law it is written, [b]that the witness of two men is true. 18 I am he that beareth witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me. 19 They said therefore unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye know neither me, nor my Father: if ye knew me, ye would know my Father also. 20 These words spake he in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man took him; because his hour was not yet come.
21 He said therefore again unto them, I go away, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sin: whither I go, ye cannot come. 22 The Jews therefore said, Will he kill himself, that 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 except ye believe that I am he, ye shall die in your sins. 25 They said therefore unto him, Who art thou? Jesus said unto them, [c]Even that which I have also spoken unto you from the beginning. 26 I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you: howbeit he that sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these speak I unto the world. 27 They perceived not that he spake to them of the Father. 28 Jesus therefore said, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that [d]I am he, and that I do nothing of myself, but as the Father taught me, I speak these things. 29 And he that sent me is with me; he hath not left me alone; for I do always the things that are pleasing to him. 30 As he spake these things, many believed on him.
31 Jesus therefore said to those Jews that had believed him, If ye abide in my word, then are ye truly my disciples; 32 and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. 33 They answered unto him, We are Abraham’s seed, and have never yet been in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? 34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Every one that committeth sin is the bondservant of sin. 35 And the bondservant abideth not in the house for ever: the son abideth for ever. 36 If therefore the Son shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. 37 I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; yet ye seek to kill me, because my word [e]hath not free course in you. 38 I speak the things which I have seen with [f]my Father: and ye also do the things which ye heard from your father. 39 They answered and said unto him, Our father is Abraham. Jesus saith unto them, If ye [g]were Abraham’s children, [h]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 heard from God: this did not Abraham. 41 Ye do the works of your father. They said unto him, We were 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 came forth and am come from God; for neither have I come of myself, but he sent me. 43 Why do ye not [i]understand my speech? Even because ye cannot hear my word. 44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and standeth not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. [j]When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof. 45 But because I say the truth, ye believe me not. 46 Which of you convicteth me of sin? If I say truth, why do ye not believe me? 47 He that is of God heareth the words of God: for this cause ye hear them not, because ye are not of God. 48 The Jews answered and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon? 49 Jesus answered, I have not a demon; but I honor my Father, and ye dishonor me. 50 But 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 word, he shall never see death. 52 The Jews said unto him, Now we know that thou hast a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my word, he shall never taste of death. 53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who died? and the prophets died: whom makest thou thyself? 54 Jesus answered, If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing: it is my Father that glorifieth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God; 55 and ye have not known him: but I know him; and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be like unto you, a liar: but I know him, and keep his word. 56 Your father Abraham rejoiced [k]to see my day; and he saw it, and was glad. 57 The Jews therefore said 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 born, I am. 59 They took up stones therefore to cast at him: but Jesus [l]hid himself, and went out of the temple[m].

Ioan 8
Nouă Traducere În Limba Română
8 Isus S-a dus spre Muntele Măslinilor. 2 Dis-de-dimineaţă a venit iarăşi în Templu şi tot poporul a venit la El. El S-a aşezat şi a început să-i înveţe. 3 Cărturarii[a] şi fariseii au adus o femeie care fusese prinsă comiţând adulter. Au pus-o să stea în mijloc 4 şi L-au întrebat:
– Învăţătorule, această femeie a fost prinsă chiar în timp ce comitea adulterul. 5 În Lege, Moise ne-a poruncit ca pe astfel de femei să le ucidem cu pietre.[b] Tu deci ce zici?
6 Spuneau lucrul acesta ca să-L pună la încercare, pentru ca să aibă cu ce să-L acuze.
Isus însă S-a aplecat şi a început să scrie cu degetul pe pământ. 7 Cum ei continuau să-L întrebe, El S-a ridicat şi le-a zis:
– Acela dintre voi care este fără păcat, să arunce primul cu piatra în ea!
8 Apoi S-a aplecat din nou şi a continuat să scrie pe pământ.
9 Când au auzit ei aceasta,[c] au ieşit afară unul câte unul, începând cu cei bătrâni, iar Isus a rămas singur cu femeia care stătea în mijloc. 10 Isus S-a ridicat şi a întrebat-o:
– Femeie, unde sunt toţi? Nu te-a condamnat nimeni?
11 Ea a răspuns:
– Nimeni, Doamne!
Isus i-a zis:
– Nici Eu nu te condamn. Du-te şi, de acum înainte, să nu mai păcătuieşti!)[d]
Isus, Lumina lumii. Veridicitatea mărturiei lui Isus
12 Isus le-a vorbit din nou:
– Eu sunt lumina lumii. Cel ce Mă urmează pe Mine nu va umbla niciodată în întuneric, ci va avea lumina vieţii.
13 Fariseii i-au zis:
– Tu depui mărturie despre Tine Însuţi, deci mărturia Ta nu este adevărată.
14 Isus le-a răspuns:
– Chiar dacă Eu depun mărturie despre Mine Însumi, totuşi mărturia Mea este adevărată, pentru că Eu ştiu de unde vin şi unde Mă duc, dar voi nu ştiţi nici de unde vin şi nici unde Mă duc. 15 Voi judecaţi după standarde omeneşti[e]; Eu nu judec pe nimeni. 16 Şi chiar dacă aş judeca, judecata Mea este adevărată, pentru că Eu nu sunt singur, ci sunt împreună cu Tatăl Care M-a trimis. 17 Chiar în Legea voastră este scris că mărturia a doi oameni este adevărată.[f] 18 Sunt Eu Cel Ce depun mărturie despre Mine Însumi, şi despre Mine depune mărturie şi Tatăl Care M-a trimis.
19 Atunci I-au zis:
– Unde este Tatăl Tău?
Isus a răspuns:
– Voi nu Mă cunoaşteţi nici pe Mine şi nici pe Tatăl Meu. Dacă M-aţi cunoaşte pe Mine, L-aţi cunoaşte şi pe Tatăl Meu.
20 Aceste cuvinte le-a spus în vistierie[g], în timp ce dădea învăţătură în Templu, dar nu L-a arestat nimeni, pentru că încă nu-I venise ceasul.
21 El le-a zis iarăşi:
– Eu Mă duc, iar voi Mă veţi căuta, însă veţi muri în păcatul vostru. Unde Mă duc Eu, voi nu puteţi veni.
22 Atunci iudeii au zis: „Doar n-o avea de gând să Se omoare, de zice: «Unde Mă duc Eu, voi nu puteţi veni.»?“
23 El le-a zis:
– Voi sunteţi de jos; Eu sunt de sus. Voi sunteţi din lumea aceasta; Eu nu sunt din lumea aceasta. 24 Vă spun că veţi muri în păcatele voastre. Căci dacă nu credeţi că Eu sunt, veţi muri în păcatele voastre.
25 Ei L-au întrebat:
– Cine eşti Tu?
Isus le-a răspuns:
– Ceea ce v-am spus de la început.[h] 26 Eu am multe de zis şi de condamnat cu privire la voi, însă Cel Ce M-a trimis este adevărat, iar Eu, ceea ce am auzit de la El, aceea spun lumii.
27 Ei nu şi-au dat seama că le vorbea despre Tatăl.
28 Isus le-a zis:
– Când Îl veţi înălţa pe Fiul Omului, atunci veţi cunoaşte că Eu sunt şi că nu fac nimic de la Mine Însumi, ci spun aceste lucruri aşa cum M-a învăţat Tatăl. 29 Iar Cel Ce M-a trimis este cu Mine. El nu M-a lăsat singur, pentru că Eu fac întotdeauna ceea ce-I este plăcut.
30 În timp ce spunea aceste lucruri, mulţi au crezut în El.
Urmaşii lui Avraam
31 Atunci Isus le-a zis iudeilor care crezuseră în El:
– Dacă rămâneţi în Cuvântul Meu, atunci sunteţi într-adevăr ucenicii Mei. 32 Veţi cunoaşte adevărul, iar adevărul vă va elibera.
33 Ei I-au răspuns:
– Suntem urmaşii[i] lui Avraam şi n-am fost niciodată sclavii nimănui! Deci cum spui Tu: „Veţi fi liberi“?!
34 Isus le-a răspuns:
– Adevărat, adevărat vă spun că oricine săvârşeşte păcatul[j] este sclav al păcatului. 35 Şi sclavul nu rămâne veşnic în casă, însă fiul rămâne veşnic. 36 Deci dacă Fiul vă eliberează, veţi fi cu adevărat liberi. 37 Ştiu că sunteţi urmaşii lui Avraam, dar cu toate acestea căutaţi să Mă omorâţi, pentru că nu pătrunde în voi Cuvântul Meu. 38 Eu spun ceea ce am văzut la[k] Tatăl; iar voi faceţi ceea ce aţi auzit de la tatăl vostru[l].
39 Ei I-au răspuns:
– Tatăl nostru este Avraam!
Isus le-a zis:
– Dacă aţi fi copiii lui Avraam, aţi face[m] faptele lui Avraam. 40 Însă acum încercaţi să Mă omorâţi, pe Mine, un Om Care v-am spus adevărul pe care l-am auzit de la Dumnezeu. Aşa ceva Avraam n-a făcut! 41 Voi faceţi deci faptele tatălui vostru!
Atunci I-au zis:
– Noi nu suntem născuţi din adulter! Avem un singur Tată: pe Dumnezeu!
42 Isus le-a zis:
– Dacă ar fi Dumnezeu Tatăl vostru, atunci M-aţi iubi, pentru că Eu de la Dumnezeu am ieşit şi am venit. Căci Eu n-am venit de la Mine Însumi, ci El M-a trimis. 43 De ce nu înţelegeţi vorbirea Mea? Pentru că nu puteţi asculta Cuvântul Meu! 44 Voi sunteţi de la tatăl vostru, diavolul, şi vreţi să îndepliniţi dorinţele tatălui vostru! El de la început a fost ucigaş şi n-a stat în adevăr, pentru că în el nu este adevăr. Ori de câte ori spune o minciună, el vorbeşte din ale lui, pentru că este mincinos şi tatăl minciunii! 45 Iar pe Mine, pentru că spun adevărul, nu Mă credeţi! 46 Care dintre voi Mă poate dovedi vinovat de păcat? Dacă spun adevărul, de ce nu Mă credeţi? 47 Cel ce este din Dumnezeu ascultă cuvintele lui Dumnezeu. Voi de aceea nu ascultaţi, pentru că nu sunteţi din Dumnezeu!
Isus este înainte de Avraam
48 Iudeii I-au răspuns:
– Nu zicem noi bine că eşti samaritean[n] şi că ai demon?!
49 Isus le-a zis:
– Eu nu am demon, ci Îl onorez pe Tatăl Meu, iar voi Mă dezonoraţi pe Mine. 50 Totuşi Eu nu caut slavă pentru Mine; este Unul Care o caută şi Care judecă. 51 Adevărat, adevărat vă spun că, dacă păzeşte cineva Cuvântul Meu în veac nu va vedea moartea.
52 Atunci iudeii I-au zis:
– Acum ştim că ai demon! Avraam a murit, profeţii – de asemenea, şi Tu zici: „Dacă păzeşte cineva Cuvântul Meu, în veac nu va gusta moartea“! 53 Doar nu eşti Tu mai mare decât tatăl nostru Avraam, care a murit?! Şi profeţii au murit! Cine Te crezi Tu că eşti?!
54 Isus le-a răspuns:
– Dacă Eu Mă slăvesc pe Mine Însumi, slava Mea nu înseamnă nimic. Tatăl Meu este Cel Care Mă slăveşte, Cel despre Care voi spuneţi: „Este Dumnezeul nostru!“, 55 deşi nu-L cunoaşteţi. Eu însă Îl cunosc, iar dacă aş spune că nu-L cunosc, aş fi şi Eu un mincinos ca voi. Dar Îl cunosc şi păzesc Cuvântul Lui. 56 Avraam, tatăl vostru, s-a bucurat nespus de mult că are să vadă ziua Mea; a văzut-o şi s-a bucurat.
57 Atunci iudeii I-au zis:
– N-ai nici cincizeci de ani şi l-ai văzut pe Avraam?!
58 Isus le-a răspuns:
– Adevărat, adevărat vă spun că, mai înainte să se fi născut Avraam, Eu sunt[o]!
59 Atunci au luat pietre ca să arunce în El. Dar Isus S-a ascuns şi a ieşit din Templu.
