约翰福音 8
Revised Chinese Union Version (Simplified Script) Shen Edition
8 1 耶稣却到橄榄山去。 2 清早，他又回到圣殿里。众百姓都到他那里去，他就坐下，教导他们。 3 文士和法利赛人带着一个犯奸淫时被捉的女人来，叫她站在当中， 4 然后对耶稣说：“老师，这女人是正在犯奸淫的时候被捉到的。 5 摩西在律法书上命令我们把这样的女人用石头打死。那么，你怎么说呢？” 6 他们说这话是要试探耶稣，要抓到控告他的把柄。耶稣却弯下腰，用指头在地上写字。 7 他们还是不住地问他，耶稣就直起腰来，对他们说：“你们中间谁没有罪，谁就先拿石头打她！” 8 于是他又弯着腰，用指头在地上写字。 9 他们听见这话，从老的开始，一个一个都走开了，只剩下耶稣一人和那仍然站在中间的女人。 10 耶稣就直起腰来，对她说：“妇人，那些人在哪里呢？没有任何人定你的罪吗？” 11 她说：“主啊，没有。”耶稣说：“我也不定你的罪。去吧！从今以后不要再犯罪了。”〕[a]
耶稣是世界的光
12 耶稣又对众人说：“我就是世界的光。跟从我的，必不在黑暗里走，却要得着生命的光。” 13 法利赛人对他说：“你是为自己作见证，你的见证不真。” 14 耶稣回答他们，对他们说：“即使我为自己作见证，我的见证还是真的，因为我知道我从哪里来，到哪里去。你们却不知道我从哪里来，到哪里去。 15 你们是以人的标准来判断人，我不判断任何人。 16 即使我判断人，我的判断也是真确的，因为不是我独自在判断，而是差我来的父与我一同判断。 17 你们的律法也记着说：‘两个人的见证才算为真’。 18 我是为自己作见证，还有差我来的父也为我作见证。” 19 于是他们问他：“你的父在哪里？”耶稣回答：“你们不认识我，也不认识我的父；若是认识我，也会认识我的父。” 20 这些话是耶稣在圣殿的银库房里教导人的时候说的。当时没有人捉拿他，因为他的时候还没有到。
我所去的地方你们不能去
21 于是耶稣又对他们说：“我去了，你们会找我，而你们会死在自己的罪中；我所去的地方，你们不能去。” 22 犹太人说：“他说‘我所去的地方，你们不能去’，难道他要自杀吗？” 23 耶稣对他们说：“你们是从下面来的，我是从上面来的；你们是属这世界的，我不是属这世界的。 24 所以我对你们说，你们会死在自己的罪中，你们若不信我就是那位，就会死在自己的罪中。” 25 他们就问他：“你到底是谁？”耶稣对他们说：“我从起初就告诉你们了。 26 我有许多事要讲论你们，判断你们；但差我来的那位是真实的，我从他那里所听见的，就告诉世人。” 27 他们不明白耶稣是对他们讲父的事。 28 所以耶稣说：“你们举起人子以后就会知道我就是那位了，并且知道我没有一件事是凭着自己做的。我说这些话是照着父所教导我的。 29 差我来的那位与我同在；他没有撇下我独自一人，因为我一直行他所喜悦的事。” 30 耶稣说这些话的时候，有许多人信了他。
真理使你们自由
31 耶稣对信他的犹太人说：“你们若继续遵守我的道，就真是我的门徒了。 32 你们将认识真理，真理会使你们自由。” 33 他们回答他：“我们是亚伯拉罕的后裔，从来没有作过谁的奴隶，你怎么说‘会使你们自由’呢？” 34 耶稣回答他们：“我实实在在地告诉你们，所有犯罪的人就是罪的奴隶。 35 奴隶不能永远住在家里；儿子才永远住在家里。 36 所以， 神的儿子若使你们自由，你们就真正自由了。”
出于 神的必听 神的话
37 “我知道，你们是亚伯拉罕的后裔，你们却想要杀我，因为你们心里容不下我的道。 38 我所说的是在我父那里看见的；你们所做的是在你们的父那里听到的。”
39 他们回答耶稣：“我们的父是亚伯拉罕。”耶稣对他们说：“你们若是亚伯拉罕的儿女，就会做亚伯拉罕所做的事。 40 我把在 神那里所听见的真理告诉了你们，现在你们却想要杀我；亚伯拉罕没有做过这样的事。 41 你们是做你们父的工作。”他们就对他说：“我们不是从淫乱生的，我们只有一位父，就是 神。” 42 耶稣对他们说：“假如 神是你们的父，你们会爱我，因为我本是出于 神，也是从 神而来，我不是凭着自己来，而是他差我来的。 43 你们为什么不明白我的话呢？无非是你们听不进我的道。 44 你们是出于你们的父魔鬼，你们宁愿随着你们父的欲念而行。他从起初就是杀人的，不守真理，因他心里没有真理。他说谎是出于自己的本性，因他本来是说谎的，也是说谎者之父。 45 但是，因为我讲真理，你们就不信我。 46 你们中间谁能指证我有罪呢？既然我讲真理，你们为什么不信我呢？ 47 出于 神的，必听 神的话；你们不听，因为你们不是出于 神。”
耶稣在亚伯拉罕之先
48 犹太人回答他：“我们说你是撒玛利亚人，并且是被鬼附的，这话不是很对吗？” 49 耶稣回答：“我没有被鬼附；我尊敬我的父，你们却不尊敬我。 50 我不寻求自己的荣耀，但有一位为我寻求荣耀，判断是非。 51 我实实在在地告诉你们，人若遵守我的道，就永远不经历死亡。” 52 于是犹太人对他说：“现在我们知道你是被鬼附了。亚伯拉罕死了，众先知也死了，你还说：‘人若遵守我的道，就永远不经历死亡。’ 53 难道你比我们的祖宗亚伯拉罕还大吗？他死了，众先知也死了，你把自己当作什么人呢？” 54 耶稣回答：“我若荣耀自己，我的荣耀就算不了什么；荣耀我的是我的父，就是你们所说的你们的 神。 55 你们不认识他，我却认识他。我若说不认识他，我就是说谎的，像你们一样；但我认识他，也遵守他的道。 56 你们的祖宗亚伯拉罕欢欢喜喜地仰望我的日子，他看见了，就快乐。” 57 犹太人就对他说：“你还没有五十岁，难道见过亚伯拉罕吗？” 58 耶稣对他们说：“我实实在在地告诉你们，还没有亚伯拉罕我就存在了。” 59 于是他们拿石头要打他，耶稣却躲开，走出了圣殿。

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。
John 8
New Century Version
The Woman Caught in Adultery
8 Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 2 But early in the morning he went back to the Temple, and all the people came to him, and he sat and taught them. 3 The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery. They forced her to stand before the people. 4 They said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught having sexual relations with a man who is not her husband. 5 The law of Moses commands that we stone to death every woman who does this. What do you say we should do?” 6 They were asking this to trick Jesus so that they could have some charge against him.
But Jesus bent over and started writing on the ground with his finger. 7 When they continued to ask Jesus their question, he raised up and said, “Anyone here who has never sinned can throw the first stone at her.” 8 Then Jesus bent over again and wrote on the ground.
9 Those who heard Jesus began to leave one by one, first the older men and then the others. Jesus was left there alone with the woman standing before him. 10 Jesus raised up again and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one judged you guilty?”
11 She answered, “No one, sir.”
Then Jesus said, “I also don’t judge you guilty. You may go now, but don’t sin anymore.”]
Jesus Is the Light of the World
12 Later, Jesus talked to the people again, saying, “I am the light of the world. The person who follows me will never live in darkness but will have the light that gives life.”
13 The Pharisees said to Jesus, “When you talk about yourself, you are the only one to say these things are true. We cannot accept what you say.”
14 Jesus answered, “Yes, I am saying these things about myself, but they are true. I know where I came from and where I am going. But you don’t know where I came from or where I am going. 15 You judge by human standards. I am not judging anyone. 16 But when I do judge, I judge truthfully, because I am not alone. The Father who sent me is with me. 17 Your own law says that when two witnesses say the same thing, you must accept what they say. 18 I am one of the witnesses who speaks about myself, and the Father who sent me is the other witness.”
19 They asked, “Where is your father?”
Jesus answered, “You don’t know me or my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father, too.” 20 Jesus said these things while he was teaching in the Temple, near where the money is kept. But no one arrested him, because the right time for him had not yet come.
The People Misunderstand Jesus
21 Again, Jesus said to the people, “I will leave you, and you will look for me, but you will die in your sins. You cannot come where I am going.”
22 So the Jews asked, “Will he kill himself? Is that why he said, ‘You cannot come where I am going’?”
23 Jesus said, “You people are from here below, but I am from above. You belong to this world, but I don’t belong to this world. 24 So I told you that you would die in your sins. Yes, you will die in your sins if you don’t believe that I am he.”
25 They asked, “Then who are you?”
Jesus answered, “I am what I have told you from the beginning. 26 I have many things to say and decide about you. But I tell people only the things I have heard from the One who sent me, and he speaks the truth.”
27 The people did not understand that he was talking to them about the Father. 28 So Jesus said to them, “When you lift up the Son of Man, you will know that I am he. You will know that these things I do are not by my own authority but that I say only what the Father has taught me. 29 The One who sent me is with me. I always do what is pleasing to him, so he has not left me alone.” 30 While Jesus was saying these things, many people believed in him.
Freedom from Sin
31 So Jesus said to the Jews who believed in him, “If you continue to obey my teaching, you are truly my followers. 32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”
33 They answered, “We are Abraham’s children, and we have never been anyone’s slaves. So why do you say we will be free?”
34 Jesus answered, “I tell you the truth, everyone who lives in sin is a slave to sin. 35 A slave does not stay with a family forever, but a son belongs to the family forever. 36 So if the Son makes you free, you will be truly free. 37 I know you are Abraham’s children, but you want to kill me because you don’t accept my teaching. 38 I am telling you what my Father has shown me, but you do what your father has told you.”
39 They answered, “Our father is Abraham.”
Jesus said, “If you were really Abraham’s children, you would do[a] the things Abraham did. 40 I am a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God, but you are trying to kill me. Abraham did nothing like that. 41 So you are doing the things your own father did.”
But they said, “We are not like children who never knew who their father was. God is our Father; he is the only Father we have.”
42 Jesus said to them, “If God were really your Father, you would love me, because I came from God and now I am here. I did not come by my own authority; God sent me. 43 You don’t understand what I say, because you cannot accept my teaching. 44 You belong to your father the devil, and you want to do what he wants. He was a murderer from the beginning and was against the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he shows what he is really like, because he is a liar and the father of lies. 45 But because I speak the truth, you don’t believe me. 46 Can any of you prove that I am guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don’t you believe me? 47 The person who belongs to God accepts what God says. But you don’t accept what God says, because you don’t belong to God.”
Jesus Is Greater than Abraham
48 They answered, “We say you are a Samaritan and have a demon in you. Are we not right?”
49 Jesus answered, “I have no demon in me. I give honor to my Father, but you dishonor me. 50 I am not trying to get honor for myself. There is One who wants this honor for me, and he is the judge. 51 I tell you the truth, whoever obeys my teaching will never die.”
52 They said to Jesus, “Now we know that you have a demon in you! Even Abraham and the prophets died. But you say, ‘Whoever obeys my teaching will never die.’ 53 Do you think you are greater than our father Abraham, who died? And the prophets died, too. Who do you think you are?”
54 Jesus answered, “If I give honor to myself, that honor is worth nothing. The One who gives me honor is my Father, and you say he is your God. 55 You don’t really know him, but I know him. If I said I did not know him, I would be a liar like you. But I do know him, and I obey what he says. 56 Your father Abraham was very happy that he would see my day. He saw that day and was glad.”
57 They said to him, “You have never seen Abraham! You are not even fifty years old.”
58 Jesus answered, “I tell you the truth, before Abraham was even born, I am!” 59 When Jesus said this, the people picked up stones to throw at him. But Jesus hid himself, and then he left the Temple.
