An Adulteress Forgiven

But Jesus went to (A)the Mount of Olives. Early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people were coming to Him; and (B)He sat down and began to teach them. The scribes and the Pharisees *brought a woman caught in adultery, and having set her in the center of the court, they *said to Him, “Teacher, this woman has been caught in adultery, in the very act. Now in the Law (C)Moses commanded us to stone such women; what then do You say?” They were saying this, (D)testing Him, (E)so that they might have evidence to accuse Him. But Jesus stooped down and with His finger wrote on the ground. But when they persisted in asking Him, (F)He straightened up and said to them, (G)Let him who is without sin among you be the (H)first to throw a stone at her.” Again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. When they heard it, they began to go out one by one, beginning with the older ones, and He was left alone, and the woman, where she was, in the center of the court. 10 (I)Straightening up, Jesus said to her, “Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?” 11 She said, “No one, [a]Lord.” And Jesus said, (J)I do not condemn you, either. Go, and from now on (K)sin no more.”]

I Am the Light of the World

12 Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, (L)I am the Light of the world; (M)he who follows Me will never walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.” 13 So the Pharisees said to Him, “(N)You are bearing witness about Yourself; Your witness is not [b]true.” 14 Jesus answered and said to them, (O)Even if I bear witness about Myself, My witness is [c]true, for I know (P)where I came from and where I am going; but (Q)you do not know where I come from or where I am going. 15 (R)You judge [d]according to the flesh; (S)I am not judging anyone. 16 But even (T)if I do judge, My judgment is true; for I am not alone in it, but I and the Father who sent Me. 17 Even in (U)your law it has been written that the witness of (V)two men is [e]true. 18 I am He who bears witness about Myself, and (W)the Father who sent Me bears witness about Me.” 19 So they were saying to Him, “Where is Your Father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither Me nor My Father; (X)if you knew Me, you would know My Father also.” 20 These words He spoke in (Y)the treasury, as (Z)He was teaching in the temple; and no one seized Him, because (AA)His hour had not yet come.

21 Then He said again to them, “I am going away, and (AB)you will seek Me, and (AC)will die in your sin. Where I am going, you cannot come.” 22 So (AD)the Jews were saying, “Surely He will not kill Himself, since He says, (AE)Where I am going, you cannot come’?” 23 And He was saying to them, (AF)You are from below, I am from above. (AG)You are of this world, (AH)I am not of this world. 24 Therefore I said to you that you (AI)will die in your sins. For unless you believe that [f](AJ)I am He, (AK)you will die in your sins.” 25 So they were saying to Him, “Who are You?” Jesus said to them, [g]What have I been saying to you from the beginning? 26 I have many things to say and to judge concerning you, but (AL)He who sent Me is true; and (AM)the things which I heard from Him, these I am saying to the world.” 27 They did not know that He had been speaking to them about the Father. 28 So Jesus said, “When you (AN)lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that [h](AO)I am He, and (AP)I do nothing from Myself, but I speak these things as the Father taught Me. 29 And He who sent Me is with Me; (AQ)He [i]has not left Me alone, for (AR)I always do the things that are pleasing to Him.” 30 As He was speaking these things, (AS)many believed in Him.

The Son Will Make You Free

31 So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, (AT)If you abide in My word, then you are truly My (AU)disciples; 32 and (AV)you will know the truth, and (AW)the truth will make you free.” 33 They answered Him, “(AX)We are Abraham’s seed and have never yet been enslaved to anyone. How is it that You say, ‘You will become free’?”

34 Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, (AY)everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin. 35 (AZ)And the slave does not remain in the house forever; (BA)the son does remain forever. 36 So if the Son (BB)makes you free, you will be free indeed. 37 I know that you are (BC)Abraham’s seed; yet (BD)you are seeking to kill Me, because My word [j]has no place in you. 38 I speak the things which I have seen [k]with My Father; therefore you also do the things which you heard from (BE)your father.”

39 They answered and said to Him, “Abraham is (BF)our father.” Jesus *said to them, (BG)If you are Abraham’s children, you would do the deeds of Abraham. 40 But now (BH)you are seeking to kill Me, a man who has (BI)told you the truth, which I heard from God. This Abraham did not do. 41 You are doing the deeds of (BJ)your father.” They said to Him, “We were not born of sexual immorality; (BK)we have one Father: God.” 42 Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, (BL)you would love Me, (BM)for I proceeded forth and have come from God, for I have (BN)not even come of Myself, but [l](BO)He sent Me. 43 Why do you not understand [m](BP)what I am saying? It is because you cannot (BQ)hear My word. 44 (BR)You are of (BS)your father the devil, and (BT)you want to do the desires of your father. (BU)He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because (BV)there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks [n]a lie, he (BW)speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of [o]lies. 45 But because (BX)I speak the truth, you do not believe Me. 46 Which one of you convicts Me of sin? If (BY)I speak truth, why do you not believe Me? 47 (BZ)He who is of God hears the words of God; for this reason you do not hear them, because you are not of God.”

48 (CA)The Jews answered and said to Him, “Do we not say rightly that You are a (CB)Samaritan and (CC)have a demon?” 49 Jesus answered, “I do not (CD)have a demon, but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me. 50 But (CE)I do not seek My glory; there is One who seeks and judges. 51 Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone (CF)keeps My word he will never (CG)see death—ever.” 52 (CH)The Jews said to Him, “Now we know that You (CI)have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets also; and You say, ‘If anyone (CJ)keeps My word, he will never (CK)taste of death—ever.’ 53 Surely You (CL)are not greater than our father Abraham who died? The prophets died too; whom do You make Yourself out to be?” 54 Jesus answered, (CM)If I glorify Myself, My glory is nothing; (CN)it is My Father who glorifies Me, of whom you say, ‘He is our God’; 55 and (CO)you have not known Him, (CP)but I know Him; and if I say that I do not know Him, I will be (CQ)a liar like you, (CR)but I do know Him and (CS)keep His word. 56 (CT)Your father Abraham (CU)rejoiced [p]to see My day, and he saw it and was glad.” 57 (CV)So the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?” 58 Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, (CW)I am.” 59 Therefore they (CX)picked up stones to throw at Him, but Jesus [q](CY)hid Himself and went out of the temple.

Ang Babaeng Nahuli sa Pangangalunya

[Si Jesus naman ay pumunta sa bundok ng mga Olibo. Kinabukasan, maaga pa ay bumalik na si Jesus sa templo. Maraming tao ang lumapit sa kanya, kaya umupo siya at nangaral sa kanila. Dumating ang mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan at mga Pariseo na may dalang babae na nahuli sa pangangalunya. Pinatayo nila ang babae sa harap ng mga tao, at sinabi nila kay Jesus, “Guro, ang babaeng itoʼy nahuli sa pangangalunya. Ayon sa Kautusan ni Moises, ang mga babaeng tulad niyaʼy dapat batuhin hanggang sa mamatay. Anong masasabi mo?” Itinanong nila ito upang hanapan ng maipaparatang laban sa kanya. Pero yumuko lang si Jesus at sumulat sa lupa sa pamamagitan ng kanyang daliri. Pero paulit-ulit silang nagtanong, kaya tumayo[a] si Jesus at sinabi sa kanila, “Kung sino sa inyo ang walang kasalanan ay siya ang maunang bumato sa kanya.” At muli siyang yumuko at nagsulat sa lupa.

Nang marinig nila iyon, isa-isa silang umalis mula sa pinakamatanda, hanggang si Jesus na lang at ang babae ang naiwan. 10 Tumayo si Jesus at sinabi sa babae, “Babae, nasaan na sila? May humatol ba sa iyo?” 11 Sumagot ang babae, “Wala po.” Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanya, “Hindi rin kita hahatulan. Maaari ka nang umalis, pero huwag ka na muling magkasala.”]

Si Jesus ang Ilaw ng Mundo

12 Muling nagsalita si Jesus sa mga tao, “Ako ang ilaw ng mundo. Ang sumusunod sa akin ay hindi na mamumuhay sa kadiliman, kundi magkakaroon ng ilaw na nagbibigay-buhay.” 13 Nang marinig ito ng mga Pariseo, sinabi nila, “Ikaw lang naman ang nagpapatotoo tungkol sa sarili mo, kaya hindi ka paniniwalaan.” 14 Sumagot si Jesus, “Kahit na nagpapatotoo ako tungkol sa aking sarili, ang sinasabi ko ay totoo, dahil alam ko kung saan ako nanggaling at kung saan ako pupunta. Ngunit kayo, hindi ninyo alam kung saan ako nanggaling at kung saan ako pupunta. 15 Humahatol kayo ayon sa pamamaraan ng tao, pero ako ay hindi humahatol kaninuman. 16 Kung hahatol man ako ay tama ang hatol ko, dahil hindi ako humahatol nang mag-isa kundi ako at ang Amang nagsugo sa akin. 17 Hindi baʼt nakasulat sa Kautusan ninyo na kapag tugma ang patotoo ng dalawang saksi, nangangahulugang totoo ang kanilang sinasabi? 18 Nagpapatotoo ako tungkol sa aking sarili, at ang Amang nagsugo sa akin ay nagpapatotoo rin tungkol sa akin.” 19 Nagtanong ang mga Pariseo, “Nasaan ba ang iyong Ama?” Sumagot si Jesus, “Hindi nʼyo ako kilala o ang aking Ama. Kung kilala sana nʼyo ako, makikilala nʼyo rin ang aking Ama.”

20 Ang mga itoʼy sinabi ni Jesus nang nangangaral siya sa templo, malapit sa lalagyan ng mga kaloob. Pero walang nagtangkang dumakip sa kanya dahil hindi pa dumarating ang oras niya.

Si Jesus ay Hindi Taga-mundo

21 Muling nagsalita si Jesus sa mga pinuno ng mga Judio, “Aalis ako at hahanapin nʼyo ako, ngunit mamamatay kayo na hindi pa napapatawad ang mga kasalanan ninyo. At hindi kayo makakapunta sa pupuntahan ko.” 22 Kaya nag-usap-usap ang mga pinuno ng mga Judio, “Magpapakamatay kaya siya? Ano ang ibig niyang sabihin na hindi tayo makakapunta sa pupuntahan niya?” 23 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Kayoʼy makamundo at akoʼy makalangit. 24 Kaya sinasabi kong mamamatay kayo na hindi pa napapatawad ang mga kasalanan ninyo. Sapagkat kung hindi kayo maniniwala na ako ang Cristo, tiyak na mamamatay kayo na hindi pa napapatawad ang mga kasalanan ninyo.” 25 “Bakit, sino ka ba talaga?” tanong nila. Sumagot si Jesus, “Hindi baʼt noong una pa ay sinabi ko na sa inyo kung sino ako? 26 Marami akong masasabi at maihahatol laban sa inyo. Sinasabi ko sa inyo ang totoo, wala akong ipinapahayag sa mga tao sa mundo maliban sa mga ipinapasabi ng nagsugo sa akin. At mapagkakatiwalaan ang mga sinasabi niya.”

27 Hindi nila naintindihan na nagsasalita si Jesus tungkol sa Ama. 28 Kaya sinabi ni Jesus, “Kapag itinaas na ninyo[b] ako na Anak ng Tao, malalaman ninyo na ako nga ang Cristo. At malalaman din ninyo na ang lahat ng bagay na ginagawa at sinasabi ko ay ayon sa itinuro sa akin ng aking Ama. 29 Lagi kong kasama ang nagsugo sa akin, at hindi niya ako pababayaang mag-isa, dahil lagi kong ginagawa ang mga bagay na kalugod-lugod sa kanya.” 30 Nang marinig ng mga tao ang mga sinabi ni Jesus, marami sa kanila ang sumampalataya sa kanya.

Ang Katotohanang Nagpapalaya sa Tao

31 Sinabi ni Jesus sa mga Judiong sumampalataya sa kanya, “Kung patuloy kayong susunod sa aral ko, totoo ngang mga tagasunod ko kayo. 32 Malalaman ninyo ang katotohanan, at ang katotohanan ang magpapalaya sa inyo.” 33 Sumagot sila kay Jesus, “Nagmula kami sa lahi ni Abraham, at kailanmaʼy hindi kami naging alipin ng kahit sino. Bakit sinabi mong palalayain kami?” 34 Sumagot si Jesus, “Sinasabi ko sa inyo ang totoo, ang sinumang nagkakasala ay alipin ng kasalanan. 35 Ang alipin ay hindi namamalagi sa isang pamilya sa habang panahon, ngunit ang anak ay namamalagi magpakailanman. 36 Kaya kung ang Anak ng Dios ang magpapalaya sa inyo, talagang magiging malaya kayo. 37 Alam kong galing kayo sa lahi ni Abraham, pero tinatangka ninyo akong patayin dahil ayaw ninyong tanggapin ang mga itinuturo ko. 38 Sinasabi ko sa inyo ang mga bagay na nakita ko sa aking Ama, ngunit ginagawa naman ninyo ang narinig ninyo sa inyong ama.”

39 Sinabi ng mga tao, “Si Abraham ang aming ama!” Sumagot si Jesus, “Kung totoong mga anak kayo ni Abraham, tinutularan sana ninyo ang mabubuting gawa niya. 40 Ngunit tinatangka ninyo akong patayin, kahit sinasabi ko lang sa inyo ang mga katotohanang narinig ko mula sa Dios. Hindi ginawa ni Abraham ang mga ginagawa ninyo. 41 Ang mga ginagawa nʼyo ay katulad ng ginagawa ng inyong ama.” Sumagot sila kay Jesus, “Hindi kami mga anak sa labas.[c] Ang Dios ang aming Ama.” 42 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Kung ang Dios nga ang inyong Ama, mamahalin sana ninyo ako, dahil nanggaling ako sa Dios. Hindi ako naparito sa sarili kong kagustuhan, kundi sinugo ako ng Dios. 43 Hindi nʼyo maintindihan ang sinasabi ko dahil hindi nʼyo matanggap ang aral ko. 44 Ang diyablo ang inyong ama. At kung ano ang gusto niya, iyon ang ginagawa ninyo. Siyaʼy mamamatay-tao mula pa sa simula, at ayaw niya ng katotohanan dahil walang katotohanan sa kanya. Likas sa kanya ang pagsisinungaling dahil sinungaling siya, at siya ang pinagmumulan ng lahat ng kasinungalingan. 45 Ngunit ako, pawang katotohanan ang mga sinasabi ko, at ito ang dahilan kung bakit ayaw ninyong maniwala. 46 Sino sa inyo ang makakapagsabi na nakagawa ako ng kasalanan? Wala! Bakit ayaw nʼyo akong paniwalaan kung katotohanan ang sinasabi ko? 47 Ang mga anak ng Dios ay nakikinig sa salita ng Dios. Ngunit hindi kayo mga anak ng Dios kaya hindi kayo nakikinig.”

Si Jesus at si Abraham

48 Sinabi ng mga Judio kay Jesus, “Tama nga ang sinabi naming isa kang Samaritano at sinasaniban ng masamang espiritu.” 49 Sumagot si Jesus, “Hindi ako sinasaniban ng masamang espiritu. Pinararangalan ko lang ang aking Ama, ngunit ipinapahiya ninyo ako. 50 Hindi ko hinahangad ang sarili kong karangalan. Ang Ama ang naghahangad na parangalan ako ng mga tao, at siya ang makapagpapasya na tama ang mga sinasabi ko. 51 Sinasabi ko sa inyo ang totoo, ang sinumang sumusunod sa mga aral ko ay hindi mamamatay.” 52 Sinabi ng mga pinuno ng mga Judio, “Sigurado na kami na sinasaniban ka nga ng demonyo. Si Abraham ay namatay at ganoon din ang mga propeta, pero sinasabi mong hindi mamamatay ang sinumang sumusunod sa aral mo. 53 Mas dakila ka pa ba sa ama naming si Abraham? Kahit siya at ang mga propeta ay namatay! Sino ka ba sa akala mo?” 54 Sumagot si Jesus, “Kung ako lang ang magpaparangal sa sarili ko, wala itong saysay. Ngunit ang Ama, na sinasabi nʼyong Dios ninyo, ang siyang magpaparangal sa akin. 55 Hindi nʼyo siya kilala. Ngunit ako, kilala ko siya. Kung sasabihin kong hindi ko siya kilala, magiging sinungaling akong tulad ninyo. Ngunit kilala ko talaga siya at tinutupad ko ang kanyang salita. 56 Natuwa ang ama ninyong si Abraham nang malaman niyang makikita niya ang aking kapanahunan. Nakita nga niya ito, at natuwa siya.” 57 Sinabi ng mga pinuno ng mga Judio sa kanya, “Wala ka pang 50 taon, paano mo nasabing nakita mo na si Abraham?” 58 Sumagot si Jesus, “Sinasabi ko sa inyo ang totoo, bago pa ipanganak si Abraham, nariyan na ako.” 59 Dahil dito, pumulot ng mga bato ang mga tao upang batuhin siya. Pero nakapagtago[d] si Jesus at umalis sa templo.

Jesus the Light of the World

But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.

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. Then the scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. And when they had set her in the midst, they said to Him, “Teacher, [b]this woman was caught in (B)adultery, in the very act. (C)Now [c]Moses, in the law, commanded us [d]that such should be stoned. But what do You [e]say?” 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.

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.” And again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. 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.
