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.

Johannes 8
En Levende Bok
8 1 Jesus gikk ut til Oljeberget. 2 Tidlig neste morgen var han tilbake i templet, og snart samlet mye folk seg rundt ham. Han satte seg ned for å undervise. 3 Mens han snakket, kom de skriftlærde[a] og fariseerne[b] slepende med en kvinne som hadde blitt tatt på fersk gjerning da hun var utro mot mannen sin, og de stilte henne opp foran Jesus. 4 De sa: ”Mester, denne kvinnen ble avslørt mens hun var utro mot mannen sin. 5 Moseloven[c] sier at hun skal bli steinet. Hva sier du?”
6 Det de egentlig var ute etter, var å få ham til å si noe de kunne anklage ham for, men Jesus bøyde seg bare ned og skrev i sanden med fingeren. 7 Da de fortsatte med å kreve et svar, så han til slutt opp og sa: ”Dersom dere tenker å steine henne, da vil jeg at den av dere som aldri har syndet, skal kaste den første steinen.” 8 Så bøyde han seg på nytt ned og fortsatte å skrive i sanden. 9 Da snek de religiøse lederne seg bort en etter en. De eldste forsvant først. Da det hadde gått en stund, var det bare kvinnen som alene sto igjen foran Jesus.
10 Jesus så opp og sa til henne: ”Hvor tok de som anklager deg veien? Var det ingen som dømte deg?”
11 ”Nei, Herre”, svarte hun. Da sa Jesus: ”Jeg tenker heller ikke å dømme deg. Gå nå, men synd ikke mer.”][d]
Jesus er lyset for menneskene
12 Jesus talte til folket og sa: ”Jeg er lyset for menneskene. Den som blir min disippel, skal slippe å leve i åndelig mørke, for i ham finnes det lyset som leder til evig liv.”
13 Fariseerne[e] sa da: ”Nå taler du igjen om deg selv uten at noen bekrefter det du sier. Slikt språk beviser ingenting!”
14 Jesus svarte: ”Selv om ingen bekrefter det jeg sier om meg selv, så snakker jeg sant. For jeg vet hvor jeg kommer fra og hvor jeg går hen. Men dere vet ikke hvor jeg kommer fra og hvor jeg går hen. 15 Dere dømmer på menneskelig vis, men jeg dømmer ingen. 16 Dersom jeg dømmer, da er min dom rettferdig, etter som jeg ikke står alene. Han som har sendt meg, er med meg. 17 I deres egen lov[f] er det skrevet at dersom to vitner bekrefter de samme opplysningene, står de fast som bevis. 18 Jeg er det ene vitnet, og min Far i himmelen som har sendt meg, er det andre.”
19 ”Hvor er far din?” spurte de.
Jesus svarte: ”Dere vet ikke hvem jeg er, og derfor vet dere heller ikke hvem min Far i himmelen er. Dersom dere kjente meg, ville dere også kjenne ham.”
20 Dette sa Jesus da han underviste i templet, mens han oppholdt seg nær plassen der tempelkisten står. Ingen grep ham etter som tidspunktet som Gud hadde bestemt for at han skulle bli tatt til fange, ennå ikke var kommet.
Jesus advarer de religiøse lederne
21 Jesus sa seinere til de religiøse lederne: ”Jeg går bort, og dere kommer til å lete etter meg, men dere vil dø uten å få tilgivelse for syndene deres. Dit jeg går, kan dere ikke komme.”
22 De religiøse lederne sa: ”Vil han ta sitt eget liv etter som han sier: ’Dit jeg går, kan dere ikke komme’?”
23 Jesus sa: ”Dere kommer fra det jordiske, og jeg kommer fra det himmelske. Dere tilhører denne verden, jeg tilhører den ikke. 24 Det var derfor jeg sa at dere vil dø uten å få tilgivelse for syndene deres, for dersom dere ikke tror at jeg er den jeg er,[g] da får dere ikke tilgivelse for syndene deres.”
25 ”Hvem er du da”, spurte de.
Han svarte: ”Jeg er den som jeg alltid har sagt at jeg er. 26 Jeg har mye å si om dere og mye å dømme dere for, men jeg gjør det ikke. Mitt oppdrag er å fortelle alle mennesker om det jeg har hørt av ham som har sendt meg, og han snakker sant.” 27 Fortsatt forsto de ikke at han snakket om sin Far i himmelen.
28 Da sa Jesus: ”Når dere har løftet meg opp[h], Menneskesønnen[i], kommer dere til å forstå at jeg er den jeg er[j] og at jeg aldri gjør noe av meg selv, men bare sier det som min Far i himmelen har lært meg. 29 Han som har sendt meg, er med meg. Han har ikke latt meg bli alene, for jeg gjør alltid det han vil.” 30 Da Jesus sa dette, var det mange som begynte å tro at han var sendt av Gud.
Abraham sine barn eller djevelen sine?
31 Jesus sa til dem av folket som begynte å tro at han var kommet fra Gud: ”Dersom dere virkelig vil bli disiplene mine, må dere leve etter det jeg har lært dere. 32 Gjør dere det, kommer dere til å lære Gud å kjenne, og han vil sette dere fri.”
33 De sa: ”Vi stammer fra Abraham og har aldri vært slaver under noen. Hvorfor sier du da at Gud skal sette oss fri?”
34 Jesus svarte: ”Jeg forsikrer dere at dere er slaver under synden hver eneste en. 35 En slave får ikke bli i familien for alltid, men en som er sønn hører alltid til i familien. 36 Dersom jeg, Sønnen, får sette dere fri fra slaveriet deres, blir dere virkelig fri. 37 Jeg vet at dere stammer fra Abraham, men likevel forsøker noen av dere å drepe meg, etter som budskapet mitt ikke har nådd inn i hjertene deres. 38 Jeg forteller dere det jeg selv har sett hos min Far i himmelen, men dere følger de rådene dere har fått fra ham som er deres far.”
39 ”Vi har Abraham til far”, forklarte de på nytt.
”Nei”, sa Jesus, ”for dersom dere var barn av Abraham, da ville dere gjøre de gjerningene som Abraham gjorde.[k] 40 Nå forsøker dere i stedet å drepe meg, etter som jeg har fortalt det sanne budskapet som jeg har hørt fra Gud. Det ville aldri Abraham ha gjort. 41 Nei, dere handler på samme viset som han som er deres virkelige far.”
De svarte: ”Vi er ikke født utenfor ekteskap. Vår virkelige far er Gud selv.”
42 Men Jesus sa: ”Dersom Gud var far deres, da ville dere elske meg, for jeg har kommet til dere fra Gud. Det var ikke mitt eget påfunn å komme, men Gud har gitt meg oppdraget mitt og har sendt meg hit. 43 Hvorfor forstår dere ikke det jeg sier? Jo, fordi dere nekter å høre på budskapet mitt. 44 Dere er barn til djevelen, og dere elsker å gjøre som han vil. Han var en morder fra begynnelsen av og har aldri sagt noe som er sant. Nei, han er tvers i gjennom falsk. Når han lyver, avslører han det som bor i ham, for han har alltid løyet, og han er den som er far til alle løgner. 45 Jeg sier sannheten, og derfor nekter dere å tro på meg. 46 Finnes det noen av dere som kan bevise at jeg har syndet? Hvorfor tror dere ikke på meg, til tross for at jeg sier sannheten? 47 Den som har Gud til sin far, tar imot Guds budskap. Når dere nå nekter å ta imot budskapet mitt, da beviser det at dere ikke har Gud til far.”
Jesus og Abraham
48 Folket som hørte dette, ropte i sinne til Jesus: ”Du er ikke noe annet enn en samaritan[l] som er besatt av en ond Ånd!”
49 Jesus svarte: ”Nei, jeg er ikke besatt. Jeg ærer min Far i himmelen, men dere håner meg. 50 Jeg er ikke ute etter å bli æret, det finnes en som vil ære meg, og det er han som avgjør om jeg har rett eller ikke. 51 Jeg forsikrer dere at den som lever i tråd med min lære, skal aldri dø!”
52 Da sa folket: ”Nå vet vi at du er besatt av en ond Ånd. Til og med Abraham døde, og også profetene som bar fram Guds budskap[m]. Og enda sier du at alle de som lever i tråd med din undervisning, skal ikke dø. 53 Du mener altså at du er større enn vår stamfar Abraham? Og større enn profetene, som også døde? Hvem tror du egentlig at du er?” 54 Da svarte Jesus: ”Dersom jeg opphøyer og ærer meg selv, da betyr mitt skryt ingenting. Men det er min Far i himmelen som opphøyer og ærer meg, han som dere påstår er deres Gud. 55 Likevel kjenner dere ham ikke, men jeg kjenner ham. Dersom jeg sa noe annet, ville jeg være en like stor løgner som dere er. Men det er sant at jeg kjenner ham og alltid er lydig mot ham. 56 Deres stamfar Abraham gledet seg til å få se meg komme. Og han fikk se meg og ble glad.”
57 Folket sa: ”Du er ikke en gang 50 år, hvordan kan du da ha sett Abraham?”
58 Jesus svarte: ”Jeg forsikrer dere at jeg er[n] og var til før Abraham ennå var født!”
59 Da tok de opp steiner for å kaste på ham, men Jesus forsvant derfra og dro fra templet.

John 8
The Message
To Throw the Stone
8 1-2 Jesus went across to Mount Olives, but he was soon back in the Temple again. Swarms of people came to him. He sat down and taught them.
3-6 The religion scholars and Pharisees led in a woman who had been caught in an act of adultery. They stood her in plain sight of everyone and said, “Teacher, this woman was caught red-handed in the act of adultery. Moses, in the Law, gives orders to stone such persons. What do you say?” They were trying to trap him into saying something incriminating so they could bring charges against him.
6-8 Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger in the dirt. They kept at him, badgering him. He straightened up and said, “The sinless one among you, go first: Throw the stone.” Bending down again, he wrote some more in the dirt.
9-10 Hearing that, they walked away, one after another, beginning with the oldest. The woman was left alone. Jesus stood up and spoke to her. “Woman, where are they? Does no one condemn you?”
11 “No one, Master.”
“Neither do I,” said Jesus. “Go on your way. From now on, don’t sin.”]
Note: John 7:53–8:11 [the portion in brackets] is not found in the earliest handwritten copies.
You’re Missing God in All This
12 Jesus once again addressed them: “I am the world’s Light. No one who follows me stumbles around in the darkness. I provide plenty of light to live in.”
13 The Pharisees objected, “All we have is your word on this. We need more than this to go on.”
14-18 Jesus replied, “You’re right that you only have my word. But you can depend on it being true. I know where I’ve come from and where I go next. You don’t know where I’m from or where I’m headed. You decide according to what you can see and touch. I don’t make judgments like that. But even if I did, my judgment would be true because I wouldn’t make it out of the narrowness of my experience but in the largeness of the One who sent me, the Father. That fulfills the conditions set down in God’s Law: that you can count on the testimony of two witnesses. And that is what you have: You have my word and you have the word of the Father who sent me.”
19 They said, “Where is this so-called Father of yours?”
Jesus said, “You’re looking right at me and you don’t see me. How do you expect to see the Father? If you knew me, you would at the same time know the Father.”
20 He gave this speech in the Treasury while teaching in the Temple. No one arrested him because his time wasn’t yet up.
21 Then he went over the same ground again. “I’m leaving and you are going to look for me, but you’re missing God in this and are headed for a dead end. There is no way you can come with me.”
22 The Jews said, “So, is he going to kill himself? Is that what he means by ‘You can’t come with me’?”
23-24 Jesus said, “You’re tied down to the mundane; I’m in touch with what is beyond your horizons. You live in terms of what you see and touch. I’m living on other terms. I told you that you were missing God in all this. You’re at a dead end. If you won’t believe I am who I say I am, you’re at the dead end of sins. You’re missing God in your lives.”
25-26 They said to him, “Just who are you anyway?”
Jesus said, “What I’ve said from the start. I have so many things to say that concern you, judgments to make that affect you, but if you don’t accept the trustworthiness of the One who commanded my words and acts, none of it matters. That is who you are questioning—not me but the One who sent me.”
27-29 They still didn’t get it, didn’t realize that he was referring to the Father. So Jesus tried again. “When you raise up the Son of Man, then you will know who I am—that I’m not making this up, but speaking only what the Father taught me. The One who sent me stays with me. He doesn’t abandon me. He sees how much joy I take in pleasing him.”
30 When he put it in these terms, many people decided to believe.
If the Son Sets You Free
31-32 Then Jesus turned to the Jews who had claimed to believe in him. “If you stick with this, living out what I tell you, you are my disciples for sure. Then you will experience for yourselves the truth, and the truth will free you.”
33 Surprised, they said, “But we’re descendants of Abraham. We’ve never been slaves to anyone. How can you say, ‘The truth will free you’?”
34-38 Jesus said, “I tell you most solemnly that anyone who chooses a life of sin is trapped in a dead-end life and is, in fact, a slave. A slave can’t come and go at will. The Son, though, has an established position, the run of the house. So if the Son sets you free, you are free through and through. I know you are Abraham’s descendants. But I also know that you are trying to kill me because my message hasn’t yet penetrated your thick skulls. I’m talking about things I have seen while keeping company with the Father, and you just go on doing what you have heard from your father.”
39-41 They were indignant. “Our father is Abraham!”
Jesus said, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would have been doing the things Abraham did. And yet here you are trying to kill me, a man who has spoken to you the truth he got straight from God! Abraham never did that sort of thing. You persist in repeating the works of your father.”
They said, “We’re not bastards. We have a legitimate father: the one and only God.”
42-47 “If God were your father,” said Jesus, “you would love me, for I came from God and arrived here. I didn’t come on my own. He sent me. Why can’t you understand one word I say? Here’s why: You can’t handle it. You’re from your father, the Devil, and all you want to do is please him. He was a killer from the very start. He couldn’t stand the truth because there wasn’t a shred of truth in him. When the Liar speaks, he makes it up out of his lying nature and fills the world with lies. I arrive on the scene, tell you the plain truth, and you refuse to have a thing to do with me. Can any one of you convict me of a single misleading word, a single sinful act? But if I’m telling the truth, why don’t you believe me? Anyone on God’s side listens to God’s words. This is why you’re not listening—because you’re not on God’s side.”
I Am Who I Am
48 The Jews then said, “That settles it. We were right all along when we called you a Samaritan and said you were crazy—demon-possessed!”
49-51 Jesus said, “I’m not crazy. I simply honor my Father, while you dishonor me. I am not trying to get anything for myself. God intends something gloriously grand here and is making the decisions that will bring it about. I say this with absolute confidence. If you practice what I’m telling you, you’ll never have to look death in the face.”
52-53 At this point the Jews said, “Now we know you’re crazy. Abraham died. The prophets died. And you show up saying, ‘If you practice what I’m telling you, you’ll never have to face death, not even a taste.’ Are you greater than Abraham, who died? And the prophets died! Who do you think you are!”
54-56 Jesus said, “If I were striving to get all the attention, it wouldn’t amount to anything. But my Father, the same One you say is your Father, put me here at this time and place of splendor. You haven’t recognized him in this. But I have. If I, in false modesty, said I didn’t know what was going on, I would be as much of a liar as you are. But I do know, and I am doing what he says. Abraham—your ‘father’—with elated faith looked down the corridors of history and saw my day coming. He saw it and cheered.”
57 The Jews said, “You’re not even fifty years old—and Abraham saw you?”
58 “Believe me,” said Jesus, “I am who I am long before Abraham was anything.”
59 That did it—pushed them over the edge. They picked up rocks to throw at him. But Jesus slipped away, getting out of the Temple.
