John 8
New International Version
8 1 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.(A)
2 At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them.(B) 3 The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group 4 and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. 5 In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women.(C) Now what do you say?” 6 They were using this question as a trap,(D) in order to have a basis for accusing him.(E)
But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. 7 When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone(F) at her.”(G) 8 Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.
9 At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. 10 Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”
11 “No one, sir,” she said.
“Then neither do I condemn you,”(H) Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.”(I)
Dispute Over Jesus’ Testimony
12 When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am(J) the light of the world.(K) Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”(L)
13 The Pharisees challenged him, “Here you are, appearing as your own witness; your testimony is not valid.”(M)
14 Jesus answered, “Even if I testify on my own behalf, my testimony is valid, for I know where I came from and where I am going.(N) But you have no idea where I come from(O) or where I am going. 15 You judge by human standards;(P) I pass judgment on no one.(Q) 16 But if I do judge, my decisions are true, because I am not alone. I stand with the Father, who sent me.(R) 17 In your own Law it is written that the testimony of two witnesses is true.(S) 18 I am one who testifies for myself; my other witness is the Father, who sent me.”(T)
19 Then they asked him, “Where is your father?”
“You do not know me or my Father,”(U) Jesus replied. “If you knew me, you would know my Father also.”(V) 20 He spoke these words while teaching(W) in the temple courts near the place where the offerings were put.(X) Yet no one seized him, because his hour had not yet come.(Y)
Dispute Over Who Jesus Is
21 Once more Jesus said to them, “I am going away, and you will look for me, and you will die(Z) in your sin. Where I go, you cannot come.”(AA)
22 This made the Jews ask, “Will he kill himself? Is that why he says, ‘Where I go, you cannot come’?”
23 But he continued, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.(AB) 24 I told you that you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I am he,(AC) you will indeed die in your sins.”
25 “Who are you?” they asked.
“Just what I have been telling you from the beginning,” Jesus replied. 26 “I have much to say in judgment of you. But he who sent me is trustworthy,(AD) and what I have heard from him I tell the world.”(AE)
27 They did not understand that he was telling them about his Father. 28 So Jesus said, “When you have lifted up[a] the Son of Man,(AF) then you will know that I am he and that I do nothing on my own but speak just what the Father has taught me.(AG) 29 The one who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone,(AH) for I always do what pleases him.”(AI) 30 Even as he spoke, many believed in him.(AJ)
Dispute Over Whose Children Jesus’ Opponents Are
31 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching,(AK) you are really my disciples. 32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”(AL)
33 They answered him, “We are Abraham’s descendants(AM) 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.(AN) 35 Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever.(AO) 36 So if the Son sets you free,(AP) you will be free indeed. 37 I know that you are Abraham’s descendants. Yet you are looking for a way to kill me,(AQ) because you have no room for my word. 38 I am telling you what I have seen in the Father’s presence,(AR) and you are doing what you have heard from your father.[b]”(AS)
39 “Abraham is our father,” they answered.
“If you were Abraham’s children,”(AT) said Jesus, “then you would[c] do what Abraham did. 40 As it is, you are looking for a way to kill me,(AU) a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God.(AV) Abraham did not do such things. 41 You are doing the works of your own father.”(AW)
“We are not illegitimate children,” they protested. “The only Father we have is God himself.”(AX)
42 Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me,(AY) for I have come here from God.(AZ) I have not come on my own;(BA) God sent me.(BB) 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,(BC) and you want to carry out your father’s desires.(BD) 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.(BE) 45 Yet because I tell the truth,(BF) 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.(BG) 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(BH) and demon-possessed?”(BI)
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;(BJ) 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.”(BK)
52 At this they exclaimed, “Now we know that you are demon-possessed!(BL) 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?(BM) He died, and so did the prophets. Who do you think you are?”
54 Jesus replied, “If I glorify myself,(BN) my glory means nothing. My Father, whom you claim as your God, is the one who glorifies me.(BO) 55 Though you do not know him,(BP) I know him.(BQ) If I said I did not, I would be a liar like you, but I do know him and obey his word.(BR) 56 Your father Abraham(BS) rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it(BT) 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,(BU) I am!”(BV) 59 At this, they picked up stones to stone him,(BW) but Jesus hid himself,(BX) slipping away from the temple grounds.

Uma mulher é pega em adultério
8 Jesus voltou ao monte das Oliveiras, 2 mas na manhã seguinte, bem cedo, estava outra vez no templo. Logo se reuniu uma multidão, e ele se sentou e a ensinou. 3 Então os mestres da lei e os fariseus lhe trouxeram uma mulher pega em adultério e a colocaram diante da multidão.
4 “Mestre, esta mulher foi pega no ato de adultério”, disseram eles a Jesus. 5 “A lei de Moisés ordena que ela seja apedrejada. O que o senhor diz?”
6 Procuravam apanhá-lo numa armadilha, ao fazê-lo dizer algo que pudessem usar contra ele. Jesus, porém, apenas se inclinou e começou a escrever com o dedo na terra. 7 Eles continuaram a exigir uma resposta, de modo que ele se levantou e disse: “Aquele de vocês que nunca pecou atire a primeira pedra”. 8 Então inclinou-se novamente e voltou a escrever na terra.
9 Quando ouviram isso, foram saindo, um de cada vez, começando pelos mais velhos, até que só restaram Jesus e a mulher no meio da multidão. 10 Então Jesus se levantou de novo e disse à mulher: “Onde estão seus acusadores? Nenhum deles a condenou?”.
11 “Não, Senhor”, respondeu ela.
E Jesus disse: “Eu também não a condeno. Vá e não peque mais”.
Jesus, a luz do mundo
12 Jesus voltou a falar ao povo e disse: “Eu sou a luz do mundo. Se vocês me seguirem, não andarão no escuro, pois terão a luz da vida”.
13 Os fariseus disseram: “Você faz essas declarações a respeito de si mesmo! Seu testemunho não é válido”.
14 Jesus respondeu: “Meu testemunho é válido, embora eu mesmo o dê, pois eu sei de onde vim e para onde vou, mas vocês não sabem de onde vim nem para onde vou. 15 Vocês julgam por padrões humanos, mas eu não julgo ninguém. 16 E, mesmo que o fizesse, meu julgamento seria correto, pois não estou sozinho. O Pai, que me enviou, está comigo. 17 A lei de vocês diz que, se duas pessoas concordarem sobre alguma coisa, seu testemunho é aceito como fato.[a] 18 Eu sou uma testemunha, e meu Pai, que me enviou, é a outra”.
19 “Onde está seu Pai?”, perguntaram eles.
Jesus respondeu: “Uma vez que vocês não sabem quem sou eu, não sabem quem é meu Pai. Se vocês me conhecessem, também conheceriam meu Pai”. 20 Jesus fez essas declarações enquanto ensinava na parte do templo onde eram colocadas as ofertas. No entanto, não foi preso, pois ainda não havia chegado sua hora.
O povo incrédulo é advertido
21 Mais tarde, Jesus lhes disse outra vez: “Eu vou embora. Vocês procurarão por mim, mas morrerão em seus pecados. Não podem ir para onde eu vou”.
22 Os judeus perguntaram: “Será que ele está planejando cometer suicídio? A que ele se refere quando diz: ‘Não podem ir para onde eu vou’?”.
23 Jesus prosseguiu: “Vocês são daqui de baixo; eu sou lá de cima. Vocês pertencem a este mundo; eu não. 24 Foi por isso que eu disse que vocês morrerão em seus pecados, pois a menos que creiam que eu sou lá de cima, morrerão em seus pecados”.
25 “Quem é você?”, perguntaram eles.
Jesus respondeu: “Sou aquele que sempre afirmei ser. 26 Tenho muito que dizer e julgar a respeito de vocês, mas não o farei. Digo ao mundo apenas o que ouvi daquele que me enviou, e ele é inteiramente verdadeiro”. 27 Ainda assim, não entenderam que ele lhes falava a respeito do Pai.
28 Então Jesus disse: “Quando vocês me levantarem, entenderão que eu sou o Filho do Homem. Não faço coisa alguma por minha própria conta; digo apenas o que o Pai me ensinou. 29 E aquele que me enviou está comigo; ele não me abandonou, pois sempre faço o que lhe agrada”. 30 Muitos que o ouviram dizer essas coisas creram nele.
Jesus e Abraão
31 Jesus disse aos judeus que creram nele: “Vocês são verdadeiramente meus discípulos se permanecerem fiéis a meus ensinamentos. 32 Então conhecerão a verdade, e a verdade os libertará”.
33 “Mas somos descendentes de Abraão”, disseram eles. “Nunca fomos escravos de ninguém. O que quer dizer com ‘Vocês serão libertos’?”
34 Jesus respondeu: “Eu lhes digo a verdade: todo o que peca é escravo do pecado. 35 O escravo não é membro permanente da família, mas o filho faz parte da família, para sempre. 36 Portanto, se o Filho os libertar, vocês serão livres de fato. 37 Sim, eu sei que vocês são descendentes de Abraão. E, no entanto, procuram me matar, pois não há lugar em seu coração para a minha mensagem. 38 Eu lhes digo o que vi quando estava com meu Pai, mas vocês seguem o conselho do pai de vocês”.
39 “Nosso pai é Abraão!”, declararam eles.
Jesus respondeu: “Se vocês fossem, de fato, filhos de Abraão, seguiriam o exemplo dele.[b] 40 Em vez disso, procuram me matar porque eu lhes disse a verdade que ouvi de Deus. Abraão nunca fez isso. 41 Vocês estão imitando seu verdadeiro pai”.
“Não somos filhos ilegítimos!”, retrucaram. “O próprio Deus é nosso verdadeiro Pai!”
42 Jesus lhes disse: “Se Deus fosse seu Pai, vocês me amariam, porque eu venho até vocês da parte de Deus. Não estou aqui por minha própria conta, mas ele me enviou. 43 Por que vocês não entendem o que eu digo? É porque nem sequer conseguem me ouvir! 44 Pois são filhos de seu pai, o diabo, e gostam de fazer as coisas perversas que ele deseja. Ele foi assassino desde o princípio. Sempre odiou a verdade, pois não há verdade alguma nele. Quando ele mente, age de acordo com seu caráter, pois é mentiroso e pai da mentira. 45 Portanto, quando eu digo a verdade, é natural que não creiam em mim! 46 Qual de vocês pode me acusar de pecado? E, uma vez que lhes digo a verdade, por que não creem em mim? 47 Quem pertence a Deus ouve as palavras de Deus. Mas vocês não ouvem, pois não pertencem a Deus”.
48 “Samaritano endemoninhado!”, responderam os líderes judeus. “Não temos dito desde o início que está possuído por demônio?”
49 “Não tenho em mim demônio algum”, disse Jesus. “Pelo contrário, honro meu Pai, e vocês me desonram. 50 Eu não procuro minha própria glória; há quem a procure para mim, e ele é o Juiz. 51 Eu lhes digo a verdade: quem obedecer a meu ensino jamais morrerá!”
52 Os líderes judeus disseram: “Agora sabemos que você está possuído por demônio. Até Abraão e os profetas morreram, mas você diz: ‘Quem obedecer a meu ensino jamais morrerá!’. 53 Por acaso você é maior que nosso pai Abraão? Ele morreu, assim como os profetas. Quem você pensa que é?”.
54 Jesus respondeu: “Se eu quisesse glória para mim mesmo, essa glória não contaria. Mas é meu Pai quem me glorifica. Vocês dizem: ‘Ele é nosso Deus’,[c] 55 mas nem o conhecem. Eu o conheço. Se eu dissesse que não o conheço, seria tão mentiroso quanto vocês! Mas eu o conheço e lhe obedeço. 56 Seu pai Abraão exultou com a expectativa da minha vinda. Ele a viu e se alegrou”.
57 Os líderes judeus disseram: “Você não tem nem cinquenta anos. Como pode dizer que viu Abraão?”.
58 Jesus respondeu: “Eu lhes digo a verdade: antes mesmo de Abraão nascer, Eu Sou!”.[d] 59 Então apanharam pedras para atirar em Jesus, mas ele se ocultou deles e saiu do templo.

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.
