8 Jesus returned to the Mount of Olives, 2 but early the next morning he was back again at the Temple. A crowd soon gathered, and he sat down and talked to them. 3 As he was speaking, the Jewish leaders and Pharisees brought a woman caught in adultery and placed her out in front of the staring crowd.
4 “Teacher,” they said to Jesus, “this woman was caught in the very act of adultery. 5 Moses’ law says to kill her. What about it?”
6 They were trying to trap him into saying something they could use against him, but Jesus stooped down and wrote in the dust with his finger. 7 They kept demanding an answer, so he stood up again and said, “All right, hurl the stones at her until she dies. But only he who never sinned may throw the first!”
8 Then he stooped down again and wrote some more in the dust. 9 And the Jewish leaders slipped away one by one, beginning with the eldest, until only Jesus was left in front of the crowd with the woman.
10 Then Jesus stood up again and said to her, “Where are your accusers? Didn’t even one of them condemn you?”
11 “No, sir,” she said.
And Jesus said, “Neither do I. Go and sin no more.”
12 Later, in one of his talks, Jesus said to the people, “I am the Light of the world. So if you follow me, you won’t be stumbling through the darkness, for living light will flood your path.”
13 The Pharisees replied, “You are boasting—and lying!”
14 Jesus told them, “These claims are true even though I make them concerning myself. For I know where I came from and where I am going, but you don’t know this about me. 15 You pass judgment on me without knowing the facts. I am not judging you now; 16 but if I were, it would be an absolutely correct judgment in every respect, for I have with me the Father who sent me. 17 Your laws say that if two men agree on something that has happened, their witness is accepted as fact. 18 Well, I am one witness, and my Father who sent me is the other.”
19 “Where is your father?” they asked.
Jesus answered, “You don’t know who I am, so you don’t know who my Father is. If you knew me, then you would know him too.”
20 Jesus made these statements while in the section of the Temple known as the Treasury. But he was not arrested, for his time had not yet run out.
21 Later he said to them again, “I am going away; and you will search for me, and die in your sins. And you cannot come where I am going.”
22 The Jews asked, “Is he planning suicide? What does he mean, ‘You cannot come where I am going’?”
23 Then he said to them, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not. 24 That is why I said that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am the Messiah, the Son of God, you will die in your sins.”
25 “Tell us who you are,” they demanded.
He replied, “I am the one I have always claimed to be. 26 I could condemn you for much and teach you much, but I won’t, for I say only what I am told to by the one who sent me; and he is Truth.” 27 But they still didn’t understand that he was talking to them about God.[a]
28 So Jesus said, “When you have killed the Messiah,[b] then you will realize that I am he and that I have not been telling you my own ideas, but have spoken what the Father taught me. 29 And he who sent me is with me—he has not deserted me—for I always do those things that are pleasing to him.”
30-31 Then many of the Jewish leaders who heard him say these things began believing him to be the Messiah.
Jesus said to them, “You are truly my disciples if you live as I tell you to, 32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
33 “But we are descendants of Abraham,” they said, “and have never been slaves to any man on earth! What do you mean, ‘set free’?”
34 Jesus replied, “You are slaves of sin, every one of you. 35 And slaves don’t have rights, but the Son has every right there is! 36 So if the Son sets you free, you will indeed be free— 37 (Yes, I realize that you are descendants of Abraham!) And yet some of you are trying to kill me because my message does not find a home within your hearts. 38
39 “Our father is Abraham,” they declared.
“No!” Jesus replied, “for if he were, you would follow his good example. 40 But instead you are trying to kill me—and all because I told you the truth I heard from God. Abraham wouldn’t do a thing like that! 41
They replied, “We were not born out of wedlock—our true Father is God himself.”
42 Jesus told them, “If that were so, then you would love me, for I have come to you from God. I am not here on my own, but he sent me. 43 Why can’t you understand what I am saying? It is because you are prevented from doing so! 44 For you are the children of your father the devil and you love to do the evil things he does. He was a murderer from the beginning and a hater of truth—there is not an iota of truth in him. When he lies, it is perfectly normal; for he is the father of liars. 45 And so when I tell the truth, you just naturally don’t believe it!
46 “Which of you can truthfully accuse me of one single sin? No one![c] And since I am telling you the truth, why don’t you believe me? 47 Anyone whose Father is God listens gladly to the words of God. Since you don’t, it proves you aren’t his children.”
48 “You Samaritan! Foreigner! Devil!” the Jewish leaders snarled. “Didn’t we say all along you were possessed by a demon?”
49 “No,” Jesus said, “I have no demon in me. For I honor my Father—and you dishonor me. 50 And though I have no wish to make myself great, God wants this for me and judges those who reject me.[d] 51 With all the earnestness I have I tell you this—no one who obeys me shall ever die!”
52 The leaders of the Jews said, “Now we know you are possessed by a demon. Even Abraham and the mightiest prophets died, and yet you say that obeying you will keep a man from dying! 53 So you are greater than our father Abraham, who died? And greater than the prophets, who died? Who do you think you are?” 54 Then Jesus told them this: “If I am merely boasting about myself, it doesn’t count. But it is my Father—and you claim him as your God—who is saying these glorious things about me. 55 But you do not even know him. I do. If I said otherwise, I would be as great a liar as you! But it is true—I know him and fully obey him. 56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day. He knew I was coming and was glad.”
57 The Jewish leaders: “You aren’t even fifty years old—sure, you’ve seen Abraham!”
58 Jesus: “The absolute truth is that I was in existence before Abraham was ever born!”
59 At that point the Jewish leaders picked up stones to kill him. But Jesus was hidden from them, and walked past them and left the Temple.

8 1 Koma Yesu anapita ku phiri la Olivi. 2 Mmamawa Iye anaonekeranso ku Nyumba ya Mulungu kumene anthu onse anamuzungulira ndipo Iye anakhala pansi nawaphunzitsa. 3 Aphunzitsi amalamulo ndi Afarisi anabweretsa mkazi amene anagwidwa akuchita chigololo. Iwo anamuyimiritsa patsogolo pa anthu ndipo 4 anati kwa Yesu, “Aphunzitsi, mkazi uyu tinamugwira akuchita chigololo. 5 Mʼmalamulo a Mose anatilamulira kuti akazi otere tiwagende ndi miyala. Tsopano Inu mukuti chiyani?” 6 Iwo anagwiritsa ntchito funsoli ngati msampha, ndi cholinga choti apeze chifukwa cha kumuneneza Iye.
Koma Yesu anawerama pansi ndi kuyamba kulemba pa dothi ndi chala chake. 7 Pamene iwo anapitirira kumufunsa, Iye anaweramuka ndipo anawawuza kuti, “Ngati wina wa inu alipo wopanda tchimo, ayambe iyeyo kumugenda ndi miyala mkaziyu.” 8 Iye anaweramanso pansi ndi kulemba pa dothi.
9 Iwo atamva izi anayamba kuchoka mmodzimmodzi, akuluakulu poyamba, mpaka Yesu anatsala yekha ndi mkaziyo atayimirira pomwepo. 10 Yesu anaweramuka ndipo anamufunsa iye kuti, “Akuluakulu aja ali kuti? Kodi palibe amene wakutsutsa?”
11 Iye anati, “Ambuye, palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe.”
“Inenso sindikukutsutsa iwe. Pita kuyambira tsopano usakachimwenso.”
Za Umboni wa Yesu
12 Yesu atayankhulanso kwa anthu, anati, “Ine ndine kuwunika kwa dziko lapansi. Aliyense amene anditsata Ine sadzayenda mu mdima, koma adzakhala ndi kuwala kotsogolera anthu ku moyo.”
13 Afarisi anamutsutsa Iye nati, “Iwe ukudzichitira umboni wa Iwe mwini, umboni wako siwoona.”
14 Yesu anayankha kuti, “Ngakhale Ine ndidzichitire umboni, umboni wangawu ndi woona, pakuti Ine ndikudziwa kumene ndinachokera ndi kumene ndikupita. Koma inu simukudziwa ndi pangʼono pomwe kumene ndinachokera kapena kumene ndikupita. 15 Inu mumaweruza potsata maganizo a anthu chabe. Ine sindiweruza munthu wina aliyense. 16 Koma Ine ndikati ndiweruze, ndimaweruza molondola, chifukwa Ine sindili ndekha koma ndili ndi Atate amene anandituma. 17 Mʼmalamulo anu munalembedwa kuti umboni wa anthu awiri ndi wovomerezeka. 18 Ine ndikudzichitira ndekha umboni; ndipo mboni inanso ndi Atate amene anandituma.”
19 Kenaka iwo anamufunsa Iye kuti, “Kodi Atate anuwo ali kuti?”
Yesu anayankha kuti, “Inu simundidziwa Ine. Atate anganso simuwadziwa. Mukanandidziwa Ine, mukanawadziwanso Atate anga.” 20 Iye anayankhula mawu awa pamene amaphunzitsa Nyumba ya Mulungu pafupi ndi malo amene amaponyapo zopereka. Komabe palibe amene anamugwira Iye, chifukwa nthawi yake inali isanakwane.
Mkangano Woti Yesu Ndani
21 Kenakanso Yesu anawawuza kuti, “Ine ndikupita, ndipo mudzandifunafuna, koma mudzafa muli mʼmachimo anu. Kumene ndikupita, inu simungabwereko.”
22 Izi zinachititsa Ayuda kufunsa kuti, “Kodi adzadzipha yekha? Kodi ndicho chifukwa chake akuti, ‘Kumene ndikupita, inu simungabwereko?’ ”
23 Koma Iye anapitiriza kuti, “Inu ndi ochokera pansi pano. Ine ndine wochokera kumwamba. Inu ndinu anthu a dziko la pansi. Ine sindine wa dziko lapansi lino. 24 Ine ndinakuwuzani kuti mudzafera mʼmachimo anu ngati simukhulupirira kuti Ine Ndine. Ndithu inu mudzafera mʼmachimo anu.”
25 Iwo anafunsa kuti, “Ndinu ndani?”
Yesu anayankha kuti, “Monga Ine ndakhala ndikunena nthawi yonseyi, 26 ndili ndi zambiri zoti ndinene zoweruza inu. Koma Iye amene anandituma ndi woona, ndipo chimene Ine ndamva kuchokera kwa Iye, ndi chimene ndimaliwuza dziko lapansi.”
27 Iwo sanazindikire kuti Iye amawawuza za Atate ake. 28 Choncho Yesu anati, “Inu mukadzapachika Mwana wa Munthu, pamenepo mudzadziwa kuti Ine Ndine. Mudzadziwa kuti sindichita kalikonse pa Ine ndekha koma ndimayankhula zokhazo zimene Atate anandiphunzitsa. 29 Iye amene anandituma Ine ali nane pamodzi. Iye sanandisiye ndekha popeza nthawi zonse ndimachita zomwe zimamukondweretsa Iye.” 30 Pamene Iye ankayankhula zimenezi, ambiri anamukhulupirira.
Ana a Abrahamu
31 Kwa Ayuda amene anamukhulupirira, Yesu anati, “Ngati inu mutsatira chiphunzitso changa, ndithu ndinu ophunzira anga. 32 Tsono mudzadziwa choonadi, ndipo choonadicho chidzakumasulani.”
33 Iwo anamuyankha Iye kuti, “Ife ndife zidzukulu za Abrahamu ndipo sitinakhalepo akapolo a wina aliyense. Kodi mukunena bwanji kuti, ‘Ife tidzamasulidwa?’ ”
34 Yesu anayankha kuti, “Zoonadi, Ine ndikukuwuzani kuti aliyense wochita tchimo ndi kapolo wa tchimolo. 35 Pajatu kapolo alibe malo wokhazikika mʼbanja, koma mwana ndi wa mʼbanjamo nthawi zonse. 36 Nʼchifukwa chake ngati Mwana adzakumasulani, mudzakhala mfulu ndithu. 37 Ine ndikudziwa kuti inu ndinu zidzukulu za Abrahamu. Chonsecho inu mwakonzeka kundipha Ine, chifukwa mawu anga alibe malo mwa inu. 38 Ine ndikukuwuzani zimene ndaziona pamaso pa Atate, ndipo inu mukuchita zimene mwazimva kwa abambo anu.”
39 Iwo anayankha kuti, “Ife abambo athu ndi Abrahamu.”
Yesu anati, “Inu mukanakhala ana a Abrahamu, bwenzi mukuchita zinthu zimene Abrahamuyo ankachita. 40 Koma mmene zililimu, inu mwatsimikiza kundipha Ine, munthu amene ndinakuwuzani choonadi chimene Ine ndinachimva kuchokera kwa Mulungu. Abrahamu sanachite zinthu zoterezi. 41 Inu mukuchita zinthu zimene abambo anu amachita.”
Iwo anatsutsa kuti, “Ife si ana amʼchigololo, Atate amene tili nawo ndi Mulungu yekha.”
Ana a Mdierekezi
42 Yesu anawawuza kuti, “Mulungu akanakhala Atate anu, inu mukanandikonda Ine, pakuti Ine ndinachokera kwa Mulungu ndipo tsopano ndili pano. Ine sindinabwere mwa Ine ndekha. 43 Nʼchifukwa chiyani simukumvetsetsa mawu anga? Chifukwa chake nʼchakuti simungathe kumva zoyankhula zanga. 44 Inu ndinu ana a mdierekezi. Iye ndiye abambo anu ndipo mukufuna kuchita zimene abambo anuwo amakhumba. Iye anali wakupha kuyambira pachiyambi, sanasunge choonadi, pakuti mwa iye mulibe choonadi. Pamene Iye anena bodza, amayankhula chiyankhulo chobadwa nacho, popeza ndi wabodza ndipo ndi bambo wa mabodza. 45 Koma chifukwa ndikuwuzani choonadi, inu simukundikhulupirira Ine! 46 Ndani mwa inu angatsimikize kuti ndine wochimwa? Ngati Ine ndikunena choonadi, nʼchifukwa chiyani simukundikhulupirira? 47 Munthu wochokera kwa Mulungu amamva zimene Mulungu amanena. Chifukwa chimene simumvera nʼchakuti, inuyo sindinu ochokera kwa Mulungu.”
Zomwe Yesu Ananena za lye Mwini
48 Ayuda anamuyankha Iye kuti, “Kodi ife sitikulondola ponena kuti Inu ndi Msamariya ndi wogwidwa ndi chiwanda?”
49 Yesu anati, “Ine sindinagwidwe ndi chiwanda, koma ndimalemekeza Atate anga, koma inu mukundinyoza. 50 Ine sindidzifunira ndekha ulemu; koma alipo wina amene amandifunira, ndipo Iyeyo ndiye woweruza. 51 Ine ndikukuwuzani choonadi, munthu akasunga mawu anga, sadzafa konse.”
52 Pamenepo Ayuda anafuwula kuti, “Tsopano ife tadziwadi kuti Inu ndi wogwidwa ndi chiwanda! Abrahamu anafa ndiponso aneneri, koma Inu mukunena kuti, ‘Ngati munthu asunga mawu anga, sadzafa.’ 53 Kodi ndinu wa mkulu kuposa abambo athu Abrahamu? Iye anafa, ndiponso aneneri onse. Inu mukuganiza kuti ndinu yani?”
54 Yesu anayankha kuti, “Ngati Ine ndidzilemekeza ndekha, ulemu wangawo ndi wosatanthauza kanthu. Atate anga amene inu mukuti ndi Mulungu wanu, ndiye amene amandilemekeza Ine. 55 Ngakhale kuti inuyo simukumudziwa, Ineyo ndikumudziwa. Ngati Ine nditanena kuti sindikumudziwa, Ineyo nditha kukhala wabodza ngati inuyo, koma Ine ndimamudziwa ndipo ndimasunga mawu ake. 56 Abambo anu Abrahamu anakondwera poyembekezera kubwera kwanga. Iwo anandiona ndipo anasangalala.”
57 Ayuda anati kwa Iye, “Inu sumunafike nʼkomwe zaka makumi asanu, ndipo mukuti munamuona Abrahamu!”
58 Yesu anayankha kuti, “Ine ndikukuwuzani choonadi, Abrahamu asanabadwe, Ine Ndine!” 59 Pamenepo iwo anatola miyala kuti amugende, koma Yesu anabisala, nachoka mozemba mʼNyumba ya Mulungu.

La femme adultère
8 Jésus se rendit au mont des Oliviers. 2 Mais dès le matin il revint dans le temple et tout le peuple s'approcha de lui. Il s'assit et se mit à les enseigner. 3 Alors les spécialistes de la loi et les pharisiens amenèrent une femme surprise en train de commettre un adultère. Ils la placèrent au milieu de la foule 4 et dirent à Jésus: «Maître, cette femme a été surprise en flagrant délit d'adultère. 5 Moïse, dans la loi, nous a ordonné de lapider de telles femmes. Et toi, que dis-tu?» 6 Ils disaient cela pour lui tendre un piège, afin de pouvoir l'accuser.
Mais Jésus se baissa et se mit à écrire avec le doigt sur le sol. 7 Comme ils continuaient à l'interroger, il se redressa et leur dit: «Que celui d'entre vous qui est sans péché jette le premier la pierre contre elle.» 8 Puis il se baissa de nouveau et se remit à écrire sur le sol. 9 Quand ils entendirent cela, accusés par leur conscience ils se retirèrent un à un, à commencer par les plus âgés et jusqu'aux derniers; Jésus resta seul avec la femme qui était là au milieu. 10 Alors il se redressa et, ne voyant plus qu'elle, il lui dit: «Femme, où sont ceux qui t'accusaient? Personne ne t'a donc condamnée?» 11 Elle répondit: «Personne, Seigneur.» Jésus lui dit: «Moi non plus, je ne te condamne pas; vas-y et désormais ne pèche plus.»]
Jésus, la lumière du monde
12 Jésus leur parla de nouveau. Il dit: «Je suis la lumière du monde. Celui qui me suit ne marchera pas dans les ténèbres, mais il aura au contraire la lumière de la vie.»
13 Là-dessus, les pharisiens lui dirent: «Tu te rends témoignage à toi-même; ton témoignage n'est pas vrai.» 14 Jésus leur répondit: «Même si je me rends témoignage à moi-même, mon témoignage est vrai, car je sais d'où je suis venu et où je vais. Quant à vous, vous ne savez pas d'où je viens ni où je vais. 15 Vous, vous jugez de façon humaine; moi, je ne juge personne. 16 Et si je juge, mon jugement est vrai, car je ne suis pas seul, mais le Père qui m'a envoyé est avec moi. 17 Il est écrit dans votre loi que le témoignage de deux personnes est vrai. 18 Or, je me rends témoignage à moi-même et le Père qui m'a envoyé me rend aussi témoignage.» 19 Ils lui dirent donc: «Où est ton père?» Jésus répondit: «Vous ne connaissez ni moi ni mon Père. Si vous me connaissiez, vous connaîtriez aussi mon Père.»
20 Jésus dit ces paroles alors qu'il enseignait dans le temple à l'endroit où était le trésor, et personne ne l'arrêta parce que son heure n'était pas encore venue.
21 Jésus leur dit encore: «Je m'en vais et vous me chercherez, mais vous mourrez dans votre péché; vous ne pouvez pas venir là où je vais.» 22 Là-dessus les Juifs dirent: «Va-t-il se tuer, puisqu'il dit: ‘Vous ne pouvez pas venir où je vais’?» 23 Il leur dit: «Vous êtes d'en bas; moi, je suis d'en haut. Vous êtes de ce monde; moi, je ne suis pas de ce monde. 24 C'est pourquoi je vous ai dit que vous mourrez dans vos péchés. En effet, si vous ne croyez pas que moi, je suis[a], vous mourrez dans vos péchés.» 25 «Toi, qui es-tu?» lui dirent-ils. Jésus leur répondit: «Ce que je vous dis depuis le début. 26 J'ai beaucoup de choses à dire et à juger à votre sujet, mais celui qui m'a envoyé est vrai, et ce que j'ai entendu de lui, je le dis au monde.» 27 Ils ne comprirent pas qu'il leur parlait du Père. 28 Jésus leur dit donc: «Quand vous aurez élevé le Fils de l'homme, alors vous reconnaîtrez que moi, je suis et que je ne fais rien de moi-même, mais que je dis ce que mon Père m'a enseigné. 29 Celui qui m'a envoyé est avec moi, il ne m'a pas laissé seul, parce que je fais toujours ce qui lui est agréable.»
30 Comme Jésus disait cela, beaucoup crurent en lui. 31 Alors il dit aux Juifs qui avaient cru en lui: «Si vous demeurez dans ma parole, vous êtes vraiment mes disciples, 32 vous connaîtrez la vérité, et la vérité vous rendra libres.» 33 Ils lui répondirent: «Nous sommes la descendance d'Abraham et nous n'avons jamais été esclaves de personne. Comment peux-tu dire: ‘Vous deviendrez libres’?» 34 «En vérité, en vérité, je vous le dis, leur répliqua Jésus, toute personne qui commet le péché est esclave du péché. 35 Or, l'esclave ne reste pas pour toujours dans la famille; c’est le fils qui y reste pour toujours. 36 Si donc le Fils vous libère, vous serez réellement libres. 37 Je sais que vous êtes la descendance d'Abraham. Pourtant, vous cherchez à me faire mourir, parce que ma parole ne pénètre pas en vous. 38 Je dis ce que j'ai vu chez mon Père et vous, vous faites ce que vous avez entendu de la part de votre père.»
39 Ils lui répondirent: «Notre père, c'est Abraham.» Jésus leur dit: «Si vous étiez les enfants d'Abraham, vous agiriez comme lui. 40 Mais en réalité, vous cherchez à me faire mourir, moi qui, en tant qu’être humain, vous ai dit la vérité que j'ai entendue de Dieu. Cela, Abraham ne l'a pas fait. 41 Vous, vous agissez comme votre père.» Ils lui dirent: «Nous, nous ne sommes pas des enfants illégitimes; nous avons un seul Père: Dieu.» 42 Jésus leur dit: «Si Dieu était votre Père, vous m'aimeriez, car c'est de Dieu que je suis sorti et c'est de sa part que je viens. Je ne suis pas venu de moi-même, mais c'est au contraire lui qui m'a envoyé. 43 Pourquoi ne comprenez-vous pas mon langage? Parce que vous ne pouvez pas écouter ma parole. 44 Vous, vous avez pour père le diable et vous voulez accomplir les désirs de votre père. Il a été meurtrier dès le commencement et il ne s'est pas tenu dans la vérité parce qu'il n'y a pas de vérité en lui. Lorsqu'il profère le mensonge, il parle de son propre fond, car il est menteur et le père du mensonge. 45 Mais moi, parce que je dis la vérité, vous ne me croyez pas. 46 Qui de vous me convaincra de péché? Si je dis la vérité, pourquoi ne me croyez-vous pas? 47 Celui qui est de Dieu écoute les paroles de Dieu; vous, vous n'écoutez pas parce que vous n'êtes pas de Dieu.»
48 Les Juifs lui répondirent: «N'avons-nous pas raison de dire que tu es un Samaritain[b] et que tu as un démon?» 49 Jésus répliqua: «Je n'ai pas de démon. Au contraire, j'honore mon Père et vous, vous me déshonorez. 50 Je ne cherche pas ma gloire. Il y en a un qui la cherche et qui juge. 51 En vérité, en vérité, je vous le dis, si quelqu'un garde ma parole, il ne mourra jamais.» 52 «Maintenant, lui dirent les Juifs, nous savons que tu as un démon. Abraham est mort, les prophètes aussi, et toi, tu dis: ‘Si quelqu'un garde ma parole, il ne mourra jamais.’ 53 Serais-tu plus grand que notre père Abraham, qui est mort? Les prophètes aussi sont morts. Pour qui te prends-tu donc?»
54 Jésus répondit: «Si je me rends gloire à moi-même, ma gloire ne vaut rien. Cependant, c'est mon Père qui me rend gloire, lui que vous présentez comme votre Dieu 55 alors que vous ne le connaissez pas. Moi, je le connais; et si je disais que je ne le connais pas, je serais comme vous: un menteur. Mais je le connais et je garde sa parole. 56 Votre ancêtre Abraham a été rempli de joie à la pensée de voir mon jour; il l'a vu et il s'est réjoui.» 57 Les Juifs lui dirent: «Tu n'as pas encore 50 ans et tu as vu Abraham!» 58 Jésus leur dit: «En vérité, en vérité, je vous le dis, avant qu'Abraham soit né, je suis.»
59 Là-dessus, ils prirent des pierres pour les jeter contre lui, mais Jésus se cacha et sortit du temple [en passant au milieu d'eux. C’est ainsi qu’il s’en alla].

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.
