Johannes 8
Svenska Folkbibeln

8 1 och Jesus gick ut till Oljeberget. 2 Tidigt på morgonen kom han tillbaka till tempelplatsen. Allt folket samlades omkring honom, och han satte sig ner och undervisade dem. 3 Då kom de skriftlärda och fariseerna fram till honom med en kvinna som hade gripits för äktenskapsbrott. De ställde henne mitt framför sig 4 och sade: "Mästare, den här kvinnan greps på bar gärning, när hon begick äktenskapsbrott. 5 I lagen[a] har Mose befallt oss att stena sådana. Vad säger då du?" 6 Detta sade de för att snärja honom och ha något att anklaga honom för. Men Jesus böjde sig ner och skrev med fingret på marken. 7 När de stod kvar och frågade honom, reste han sig och sade: "Den som är utan synd må kasta första stenen på henne." 8 Och han böjde sig ner igen och skrev på marken. 9 När de hörde detta gick de därifrån, den ene efter den andre, de äldste först, och han blev lämnad ensam kvar med kvinnan som stod där. 10 Jesus reste sig upp och sade till henne: "Kvinna, var är de? Har ingen dömt dig?" 11 Hon svarade: "Nej, Herre, ingen." Då sade Jesus: "Inte heller jag dömer dig. Gå, och synda inte mer!"

Jesus är världens ljus

12 Jesus talade åter till dem och sade: "Jag är världens ljus. Den som följer mig skall inte vandra i mörkret utan ha livets ljus." 13 Fariseerna sade till honom: "Du vittnar om dig själv. Ditt vittnesbörd är inte giltigt." 14 Jesus svarade: "Även om jag vittnar om mig själv, är mitt vittnesbörd giltigt, eftersom jag vet varifrån jag har kommit och vart jag går. Ni vet inte varifrån jag kommer eller vart jag går. 15 Ni dömer på människors vis. Jag dömer ingen. 16 Och även om jag dömer är min dom rättvis, eftersom jag inte är ensam, utan Fadern som har sänt mig är med mig. 17 Också i er egen lag står det skrivet att vad två människor vittnar är giltigt.[b] 18 Jag är den som vittnar om mig själv. Om mig vittnar även Fadern som har sänt mig." 19 Då frågade de: "Var är din Fader?" Jesus svarade: "Ni känner varken mig eller min Fader. Om ni kände mig, skulle ni också känna min Fader." 20 Dessa ord talade han vid offerkistan, när han undervisade på tempelplatsen. Men ingen grep honom, eftersom hans stund ännu inte hade kommit.

21 Än en gång sade Jesus till dem: "Jag går bort, och ni kommer att söka efter mig, men ni kommer att dö i er synd. Dit jag går kan ni inte komma." 22 Då sade judarna: "Tänker han ta sitt liv, eftersom han säger: Dit jag går kan ni inte komma?" 23 Han sade till dem: "Ni är nerifrån, jag är ovanifrån. Ni är av den här världen, jag är inte av den här världen. 24 Därför sade jag till er att ni kommer att dö i era synder. Ty om ni inte tror att Jag Är,[c] skall ni dö i era synder." 25 De frågade: "Vem är du då?" Jesus svarade: "Begynnelsen, något som jag också har sagt er. 26 Mycket har jag att säga om er och döma er för. Han som har sänt mig är trovärdig, och det jag har hört av honom förkunnar jag för världen." 27 De förstod inte att han talade till dem om Fadern. 28 Då sade Jesus till dem: "När ni har upphöjt[d] Människosonen, skall ni förstå att Jag Är och att jag inte gör något av mig själv utan talar vad Fadern har lärt mig. 29 Och han som har sänt mig är med mig. Han har inte lämnat mig ensam, eftersom jag alltid gör det som behagar honom." 30 När han sade detta, kom många till tro på honom.

Abrahams sanna barn

31 Jesus sade till de judar som hade satt tro till honom: "Om ni förblir i mitt ord, är ni verkligen mina lärjungar, 32 och ni skall förstå sanningen, och sanningen skall göra er fria." 33 De svarade honom: "Vi är Abrahams barn och har aldrig varit slavar under någon. Hur kan du säga att vi skall bli fria?" 34 Jesus svarade: "Amen, amen säger jag er: Var och en som gör synd är syndens slav. 35 Slaven bor inte kvar i huset för alltid, men sonen stannar där för alltid. 36 Om nu Sonen gör er fria, blir ni verkligen fria. 37 Jag vet att ni är Abrahams barn, men ni vill döda mig därför att ni inte förstår mitt ord. 38 Jag talar vad jag har sett hos min Fader. Ni gör vad ni har hört av er fader."

39 De svarade honom: "Vår fader är Abraham." Jesus sade: "Om ni vore Abrahams barn, skulle ni göra Abrahams gärningar. 40 Men nu vill ni döda mig, en man som har sagt er sanningen, som jag har hört av Gud. Så handlade inte Abraham. 41 Ni gör er faders gärningar." De svarade: "Vi är inte födda i äktenskapsbrott. Vi har bara en fader, Gud." 42 Jesus svarade: "Vore Gud er Fader, skulle ni älska mig, eftersom jag har utgått från Gud och kommer från honom. Jag har inte kommit av mig själv, utan han har sänt mig. 43 Varför förstår ni inte vad jag säger? Därför att ni inte kan lyssna till mitt ord. 44 Ni har djävulen till er fader. Och vad er fader har begär till, det vill ni göra. Han har varit en mördare från början och har aldrig stått på sanningens sida, eftersom sanning inte finns i honom. När han talar lögn, talar han av sitt eget, ty han är en lögnare, ja, lögnens fader. 45 Men mig tror ni inte, därför att jag säger er sanningen. 46 Vem av er kan överbevisa mig om synd? Om jag talar sanning, varför tror ni mig inte? 47 Den som är av Gud lyssnar till Guds ord. Men ni lyssnar inte, därför att ni inte är av Gud."

48 Judarna svarade: "Har vi inte rätt när vi säger att du är en samarit och har en ond ande?" 49 Jesus svarade: "Jag har ingen ond ande. Jag ärar min Fader, och ni vanärar mig. 50 Jag söker inte min egen ära, men det finns en som söker den och som dömer. 51 Amen, amen säger jag er: Den som bevarar mitt ord skall aldrig någonsin se döden." 52 Judarna sade: "Nu förstår vi att du har en ond ande. Abraham dog, och likaså profeterna, och du säger: Den som bevarar mitt ord skall aldrig någonsin smaka döden. 53 Är du större än vår fader Abraham? Han dog, och profeterna är döda. Vem ger du dig ut för att vara?" 54 Jesus svarade: "Om jag ärar mig själv, är min ära ingenting värd. Det är min Fader som ärar mig, han som ni kallar er Gud. 55 Ni känner honom inte, men jag känner honom. Om jag sade att jag inte kände honom, skulle jag vara en lögnare som ni. Men jag känner honom och bevarar hans ord. 56 Abraham, er fader, jublade över att få se min dag. Han såg den och blev glad." 57 Judarna sade: "Du är inte femtio år än, och Abraham har du sett!" 58 Jesus svarade: "Amen, amen säger jag er: Jag Är, redan innan Abraham blev till." 59 Då tog de upp stenar för att kasta på honom, men Jesus drog sig undan och lämnade tempelplatsen.

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.

John 8
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

8 1 while Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 2 Early in the morning he came again to the temple. All the people came to him and he sat down and began to teach them. 3 The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery; and making her stand before all of them, 4 they said to him, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the very act of committing adultery. 5 Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?” 6 They said this to test him, so that they might have some charge to bring against him. Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground. 7 When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let anyone among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” 8 And once again he bent down and wrote on the ground.[a] 9 When they heard it, they went away, one by one, beginning with the elders; and Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him. 10 Jesus straightened up and said to her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” 11 She said, “No one, sir.”[b] And Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go your way, and from now on do not sin again.”]][c]

Jesus the Light of the World

12 Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life.” 13 Then the Pharisees said to him, “You are testifying on your own behalf; your testimony is not valid.” 14 Jesus answered, “Even if I testify on my own behalf, my testimony is valid because I know where I have come from and where I am going, but you do not know where I come from or where I am going. 15 You judge by human standards;[d] I judge no one. 16 Yet even if I do judge, my judgment is valid; for it is not I alone who judge, but I and the Father[e] who sent me. 17 In your law it is written that the testimony of two witnesses is valid. 18 I testify on my own behalf, and the Father who sent me testifies on my behalf.” 19 Then they said to him, “Where is your Father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither me nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father also.” 20 He spoke these words while he was teaching in the treasury of the temple, but no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.

Jesus Foretells His Death

21 Again he said to them, “I am going away, and you will search for me, but you will die in your sin. Where I am going, you cannot come.” 22 Then the Jews said, “Is he going to kill himself? Is that what he means by saying, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come’?” 23 He said to them, “You are from below, I am from above; you are of this world, I am not of this world. 24 I told you that you would die in your sins, for you will die in your sins unless you believe that I am he.”[f] 25 They said to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them, “Why do I speak to you at all?[g] 26 I have much to say about you and much to condemn; but the one who sent me is true, and I declare to the world what I have heard from him.” 27 They did not understand that he was speaking to them about the Father. 28 So Jesus said, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will realize that I am he,[h] and that I do nothing on my own, but I speak these things as the Father instructed me. 29 And the one who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, for I always do what is pleasing to him.” 30 As he was saying these things, many believed in him.

True Disciples

31 Then Jesus said to the Jews who had believed in him, “If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples; 32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” 33 They answered him, “We are descendants of Abraham and have never been slaves to anyone. What do you mean by saying, ‘You will be made free’?”

34 Jesus answered them, “Very truly, I tell you, everyone who commits sin is a slave to sin. 35 The slave does not have a permanent place in the household; the son has a place there forever. 36 So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed. 37 I know that you are descendants of Abraham; yet you look for an opportunity to kill me, because there is no place in you for my word. 38 I declare what I have seen in the Father’s presence; as for you, you should do what you have heard from the Father.”[i]

Jesus and Abraham

39 They answered him, “Abraham is our father.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would be doing[j] what Abraham did, 40 but now you are trying to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. This is not what Abraham did. 41 You are indeed doing what your father does.” They said to him, “We are not illegitimate children; we have one father, God himself.” 42 Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and now I am here. I did not come on my own, but he sent me. 43 Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot accept my word. 44 You are from your father the devil, and you choose to do your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks according to his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies. 45 But because I tell the truth, you do not believe me. 46 Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me? 47 Whoever is from God hears the words of God. The reason you do not hear them is that you are not from God.”

48 The Jews answered him, “Are we not right in saying that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?” 49 Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon; but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me. 50 Yet I do not seek my own glory; there is one who seeks it and he is the judge. 51 Very truly, I tell you, whoever keeps my word will never see death.” 52 The Jews said to him, “Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, and so did the prophets; yet you say, ‘Whoever keeps my word will never taste death.’ 53 Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? The prophets also died. Who do you claim to be?” 54 Jesus answered, “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, he of whom you say, ‘He is our God,’ 55 though you do not know him. But I know him; if I would say that I do not know him, I would be a liar like you. But I do know him and I keep his word. 56 Your ancestor Abraham rejoiced that he would see my day; 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?”[k] 58 Jesus said to them, “Very truly, I tell you, before Abraham was, I am.” 59 So they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple.
