A Woman Caught in Adultery

8 But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 2 Now early in the morning he came again to the temple courts.[a] And all the people were coming,[b] and he sat down and[c] began to teach[d] them.

3 Now the scribes and the Pharisees brought to him a woman[e] caught in adultery. And standing her in their midst, 4 they said to him, testing him,[f] “Teacher, this woman was caught in the very act of committing adultery! 5 Now in the law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. So what do you say?” 6 (Now they were saying this to test him, so that they would have an occasion[g] to bring charges against him.) But Jesus, bending down, began to write[h] with his[i] finger on the ground, taking no notice.[j] 7 And when they persisted in asking him, straightening up he said[k] to them, “The one of you without sin, let him throw the first stone at her!” 8 And bending down again, he wrote on the ground. 9 Now when they[l] heard it,[m] being convicted by their conscience,[n] they began to depart,[o] one by one, beginning with the older ones, and Jesus[p] was left alone—and the woman who was in their midst. 10 So Jesus, straightening up and seeing no one except the woman,[q] said to her, “Where are those accusers of yours?[r] Does no one condemn you?” 11 And she said, “No one, Lord.” So Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go, and[s] sin no more.”]][t]

Jesus, the Light of the World

12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world! The one who follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” 13 So the Pharisees said to him, “You testify concerning yourself! Your testimony is not true.” 14 Jesus answered and said to them, “Even if I testify concerning myself, my testimony is true, because I know where I have come from and where I am going. But you do not know where I have come from or where I am going. 15 You judge according to externals; I do not judge anyone. 16 But even if I judge, my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me. 17 And even in your law it is written that the testimony of two men is true.[u] 18 I am the one who testifies concerning myself, and the Father who sent me testifies concerning me.”

19 So they were saying to him, “Where is your father?” Jesus replied, “You know neither me nor my Father! If you had known me, you would have known my Father also.” 20 He spoke these words by the treasury while[v] teaching in the temple courts,[w] and no one seized him, because his hour had not yet come.

Jesus Predicts His Death

21 So he said to them again, “I am going away, and you will seek me and will die in your sin. Where I am going you cannot come!” 22 Then the Jews began to say,[x] “Perhaps he will kill himself, because he is saying, ‘Where I am going you cannot come.’” 23 And he said to them, “You are from below; I am from above. You are from this world; I am not from this world. 24 Thus I said to you that you will die in your sins. For if you do not believe that I am he, you will die in your sins.”

25 So they began to say to him,[y] “Who are you?” Jesus said to them, “What[z] I have been saying to you from the beginning. 26 I have many things to say and to judge concerning you, but the one who sent me is true, and the things which I heard from him, these things I say to the world.” 27 (They did not know that he was speaking to them about the Father.)

28 Then Jesus said,[aa] “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will recognize that I am he, and I do nothing from myself, but just as the Father taught me, I say these things. 29 And the one who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone, because I always do the things that are pleasing to him.” 30 While[ab] he was saying these things, many believed in him.

The Truth Will Set You Free

31 Then Jesus said to those Jews who had believed him, “If you continue in my word you are truly my disciples, 32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” 33 They replied to him, “We are descendants of Abraham and have not been enslaved to anyone at any time. How do you say, ‘You will become free’?” 34 Jesus replied to them, “Truly, truly I say to you, that everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin. 35 And the slave does not remain in the household forever;[ac] the son remains forever.[ad] 36 So if the son sets you free, you will be truly free. 37 I know that you are descendants of Abraham. But you are seeking to kill me, because my word makes no progress among you. 38 I speak the things that I have seen with the Father; so also you do the things that you have heard from the Father.”

The Priority of Jesus Over Abraham

39 They answered and said to him, “Abraham is our father!” Jesus said to them, “If you are children of Abraham, do the deeds of Abraham! 40 But now you are seeking to kill me, a man who spoke to you the truth which I heard from God. This Abraham did not do. 41 You are doing the deeds of your father!”

They said[ae] to him, “We were not born from sexual immorality! We have one father, God!” 42 Jesus said to them, “If God were your father, you would love me, for I have come forth from God and have come. For I have not come from myself, but that one sent me. 43 Why[af] do you not understand my way of speaking? Because you are not able to listen to my message. 44 You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father! That one was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand firm in the truth, because truth is not in him. Whenever he speaks the lie, he speaks from his own nature,[ag] because he is a liar and the father of lies.[ah] 45 But because I am telling the truth, you do not believe me. 46 Who among you convicts me concerning sin? If I am telling the truth, why[ai] do you not believe me? 47 The one who is from God listens to the words of God. Because of this you do not listen—because you are not of God.”

48 The Jews answered and said to him, “Do we not correctly say that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?” 49 Jesus replied, “I do not have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me! 50 But I do not seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and judges! 51 Truly, truly I say to you, if anyone keeps my word, he will never experience death forever.”[aj]

52 The Jews[ak] said to him, “Now we know that you have a demon! Abraham and the prophets died, and you say, ‘If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste death forever.’[al] 53 You are not greater than our father Abraham who died, are you?[am] And the prophets died! Who do you make yourself to be?” 54 Jesus replied, “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. The one who glorifies me is my Father, about whom you say, ‘He is our God.’ 55 And you have not known him, but I know him. And if I were to say that I do not know him, I would be a liar like you! But I know him and I keep his word. 56 Abraham your father rejoiced that he would see my day, and he saw it[an] and was glad.”

57 So the Jews said to him, “You are[ao] not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?” 58 Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly I say to you, before Abraham was, I am!” 59 Then they picked up stones in order to throw them[ap] at him. But Jesus was hidden and went out of the temple courts.[aq]

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.

Ang Salita ng Diyos

Ang Babaeng Nagkakasala ng Pangangalunya

8 Si Jesus ay pumunta sa Bundok ng mga Olibo.

2 Sa pagbubukang-liwayway, siya ay muling pumunta sa templo. Ang lahat ng mga tao ay lumapit sa kaniya. Siya ay umupo at tinuruan sila. 3 Dinala sa kaniya ng mga guro ng kautusan at ng mga Fariseo ang isang babae na nahuling nangangalunya. Inilagay nila siya sa kalagitnaan. 4 Sinabi nila sa kaniya: Guro, ang babaeng ito ay nahuli sa paggawa ng pangangalunya. 5 Iniutos sa amin ni Moises sa kautusan na batuhin ang katulad nito. Ano ang masasabi mo? 6 Ito ay kanilang sinabi upang subukin siya nang mayroon silang maiparatang laban sa kaniya.

Yumukod si Jesus, sumulat sa lupa sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang daliri.

7 Sa patuloy nilang pagtatanong sa kaniya ay tumindig siya. Sinabi niya sa kanila: Ang sinumang walang kasalanan sa inyo ang siyang maunang bumato sa kaniya. 8 Siya ay muling yumukod at sumulat sa lupa.

9 Sila na nakarinig nito ay sinumbatan ng kanilang mga budhi. Dahil dito, sila ay isa-isang lumabas, simula sa mata­tanda hanggang sa kahuli-hulihan. Naiwan si Jesus gayundin ang babae na nakatayo sa kalagitnaan. 10 Nang tumindig si Jesus ay wala siyang nakita maliban sa babae. Sinabi ni Jesus sa kaniya: Ginang, nasaan ang mga nagsasakdal sa iyo? Wala bang humatol sa iyo?

11 Sinabi niya: Wala, Ginoo.

Sinabi ni Jesus sa kaniya: Kahit ako man ay hindi hahatol sa iyo. Humayo ka at huwag nang magkasalang muli.

Tunay ang Patotoo ni Jesus

12 Nang magkagayon, nagsalitang muli si Jesus sa kanila. Sinabi niya: Ako ang ilaw ng sanlibutan. Siya na sumusunodsa akin ay hindi lalakad kailanman sa kadiliman. Siya ay magkakaroon ng ilaw ng buhay.

13 Sinabi nga ng mga Fariseo sa kaniya: Nagpapatotoo ka sa iyong sarili. Ang iyong patotoo ay hindi totoo.

14 Sumagot si Jesus at sinabi sa kanila: Bagamat ako ang nagpapatotoo sa aking sarili, ang patotoo ko naman ay totoo sapagkat alam ko kung saan ako nanggaling at kung saan ako pupunta. Hindi ninyo alam kung saan ako nanggaling at kung saan ako pupunta. 15 Humahatol kayo ayon sa pamantayan ng tao. Wala akong hinahatulang sinuman. 16 Ngayong humahatol ako, ang aking hatol ay totoo dahil ako ay hindi nag-iisa. Kasama ko ang aking Ama na nagsugo sa akin. 17 Nasusulat din sa inyong kautusan, na ang patotoo ng dalawang tao ay totoo. 18 Ako ang nagpapatotoo sa aking sarili at ang Ama na nagsugo sa akin ay nagpapatotoo patungkol sa akin.

19 Sinabi nga nila sa kaniya: Nasaan ang iyong Ama?

Sumagot si Jesus: Hindi ninyo ako nakikilala, ni ang aking Ama. Kung nakilala ninyo ako ay nakikilala rin ninyo ang aking Ama.

20 Ang mga salitang ito ay sinabi ni Jesus nang siya ay nagtuturo sa templo. Sila ay nasa silid na pinaglalagyan ng mga kaloob. Walang taong dumakip sa kaniya sapagkat hindi pa dumarating ang kaniyang oras.

21 Muling sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila: Ako ay aalis at hahanapin ninyo ako. Kayo ay mamamatay sa inyong mga kasalanan. Hindi kayo makakapunta sa aking pupuntahan.

22 Sinabi nga ng mga Judio: Magpapakamatay ba siyakaya niya sinabi: Sa aking pupuntahan ay hindi kayo makakapunta?

23 Sinabi niya sa kanila: Kayo ay mga taga-ibaba, ako ay taga-itaas. Kayo ay mga taga-sanlibutan, ako ay hindi taga-sanlibutan. 24 Sinasabi ko nga sa inyo na kayo ay mamamatay sa inyong mga kasalanan. Ito ay sapagkat kung hindi kayo sumampalataya na ako nga iyon, mamamatay kayo sa inyong mga kasalanan.

25 Sinabi nga nila sa kaniya: Sino ka ba?

Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila: Ako yaong sinabi ko sa inyo nang pasimula pa.

26 Marami akong mga bagay na sasabihin at ihahatol sa inyo. Siya na nagsugo sa akin ay totoo. Kung ano ang narinig ko mula sa kaniya ay sinasabi ko sa sanlibutan.

27 Hindi nila naunawaan na ang sinabi niya sa kanila ay patungkol sa Ama. 28 Kaya nga, sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila: Kapag naitaas na ninyo ang Anak ng tao ay saka ninyo makikilala na ako nga siya. Malalaman ninyo na wala akong ginagawa nang sa sarili ko. Subalit kung papaano ako tinuturuan ng Ama ay gayunding sinasabi ko ang mga bagay na ito. 29 Siya na nagsugo sa akin ay kasama ko. Hindi ako iniwang mag-isa ng Ama sapagkat lagi kong ginagawa ang mga bagay na nakakalugod sa kaniya. 30 Habang sinabi niya ang mga bagay na ito, marami ang sumampalataya sa kaniya.

Ang mga Anak ni Abraham

31 Sinabi nga ni Jesus sa mga Judio na sumampalataya sa kaniya: Kapag mananatili kayo sa aking salita, totoong kayo ay aking mga alagad.

32 Malalaman ninyo ang katotohanan at ang katotohanan ang magpapalaya sa inyo.

33 Sila ay sumagot sa kaniya: Kami ay lahi ni Abraham at kailanman ay hindi naging alipin ninuman. Papaano mo nasabi na kami ay magiging malaya?

34 Sumagot si Jesus sa kanila: Katotohanan, katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo: Ang sinumang nagkakasala ay alipin ng kasalanan. 35 Ang alipin ay hindi nananatili sa bahay magpakailanman. Ang anak ay nananatili magpakailanman. 36 Kung palalayain nga kayo ng anak, tunay na kayo ay magiging malaya. 37 Nalalaman ko na kayo ay lahi ni Abraham ngunit naghahanap kayo ng pagkakataon na ako ay patayin. Ito ay sapagkat ang aking salita ay walang puwang sa inyo. 38 Sinasabi ko ang mga bagay na aking nakita sa aking Ama. Ginagawa naman ninyo ang mga bagay na nakita ninyo sa inyong ama.

39 Sila ay sumagot at sinabi sa kaniya: Si Abraham ang aming ama.

Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila: Yamang kayo ay mga anak ni Abraham, gagawin ninyo ang mga gawa ni Abraham.

40 Ngunit ngayon ay naghahanap kayo ng pagkakataon upang ako ay patayin. Ako ang taong nagsabi sa inyo ng katotohanang narinig ko mula sa Diyos. Ito ay hindi ginawa ni Abraham. 41 Ginagawa ninyo ang mga gawa ng inyong ama.

Sinabi nga nila sa kaniya: Kami ay hindi ipinanganak sa pakikiapid. Kami ay mayroong isang ama, ang Diyos.

Ang mga Anak ng Diyablo

42 Sinabi nga ni Jesus sa kanila: Kung ang Diyos ang inyong Ama, ibigin sana ninyo ako sapagkat ako ay nagmula at dumating mula sa Diyos. Hindi ako narito sa aking sarili kundi sinugo niya ako.

43 Bakit hindi ninyo nauunawaan ang aking pananalita? Ang dahilan ay hindi ninyo magawang dinggin ang aking salita. 44 Kayo ay sa inyong ama, ang diyablo. Ang mga masasamang hangarin ng inyong ama ang nais ninyong gawin. Siya ay mamamatay-tao buhat pa nang pasimula. Siya ay hindi nananatili sa katotohanan sapagkat walang katotohanan sa kaniya. Kapag siya ay nagsasalita ng kasinungalingan, siya ay nagsasalita sa ganang kaniya. Siya ay sinungaling at ama ng kasinungalingan. 45 Dahil nagsasabi ako sa inyo ng katoto­hanan, hindi kayo sumasampalataya sa akin. 46 Sino sa inyo ang susumbat sa akin patungkol sa kasalanan? Kung ako ay nagsasabi ng katotohanan, bakit hindi kayo sumasam­palataya sa akin? 47 Siya na nasa Diyos ay nakikinig ng mga salita ng Diyos. Kaya nga, hindi kayo nakikinig ay sapagkat hindi kayo sa Diyos.

Si Jesus ay Nagpahayag Patungkol sa Kaniyang Sarili

48 Sumagot nga ang mga Judio at sinabi sa kaniya: Hindi ba tama ang aming sinabi na ikaw ay taga-Samaria at mayroong demonyo?

49 Sumagot si Jesus: Wala akong demonyo. Niluluwalhati ko ang aking Ama at sinisira naman ninyo ang aking kaluwal­hatian. 50 Hindi ko hinahanap ang aking kaluwalhatian. May isang naghahanap nito at humahatol. 51 Katotohanan, katoto­hanang sinasabi ko sa inyo: Ang sinumang tutupad sa aking salita ay hindi makakaranas ng kamatayan magpakailanman.

52 Sinabi nga ng mga Judio sa kaniya: Ngayon ay alam na namin na mayroon kang demonyo. Si Abraham at ang mga propeta ay namatay. Sinasabi mo na kung ang sinuman ay tutupad ng iyong salita ay hindi makakaranas ng kamatayan magpakailanman. 53 Mas dakila ka pa ba kaysa sa aming amang si Abraham? Siya ay namatay, gayundin ang mga propeta. Ano ba ang palagay mo sa iyong sarili?

54 Sumagot si Jesus: Kung niluluwalhati ko ang aking sarili, ang aking kaluwalhatian ay walang kabuluhan. Ang aking Ama ang siyang lumuluwalhati sa akin. Siya ang sinasabi ninyong inyong Diyos. 55 Hindi ninyo siya kilala ngunit kilala ko siya. Kapag sinabi kong hindi ko siya kilala ay magiging sinungaling akong tulad ninyo. Kilala ko siya at tinutupad ko ang kaniyang salita. 56 Ang inyong amang si Abraham ay nagalak na makita niya ang aking araw. Nakita niya ito at siya ay natuwa.

57 Sinabi nga ng mga Judio sa kaniya: Wala ka pang limampung taong gulang at nakita mo na si Abraham?

58 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila: Katotohanan, katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo: Bago pa si Abraham ay ako na. 59 Dumampot nga sila ng mga bato upang siya ay batuhin ngunit si Jesus ay nagtago. Sa paglabas niya sa templo ay dumaan siya sa kalagitnaan nila sa ganoong paraan.
