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.

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.

约翰福音 8
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
耶穌不定犯姦淫婦人的罪
8 耶穌往橄欖山去。 2 黎明的時候，他又到聖殿去，眾人都來到他那裡，他就坐下教導他們。 3 經學家和法利賽人帶了一個行淫時被抓到的婦人來，叫她站在中間， 4 就對耶穌說：“先生，這婦人是正在犯姦淫的時候被抓到的。 5 摩西在律法上吩咐我們把這樣的婦人用石頭打死，你怎樣說呢？” 6 他們說這話是要試探耶穌，要找把柄來控告他。耶穌卻彎下身，用指頭在地上寫字。 7 他們不住地問耶穌，他就挺起身來，說：“你們中間誰是沒有罪的，他就可以先拿起石頭打她。” 8 於是又彎下身在地上寫字。 9 他們聽了這話，就從年老的開始，一個一個地都離開了，留下的只有耶穌和那個還站在那裡的婦人。 10 耶穌挺起身來，問她：“婦人，他們在哪裡？沒有人定你的罪嗎？” 11 她說：“主啊！沒有。”耶穌說：“我也不定你的罪。走吧，從現在起不要再犯罪了。”
耶穌是世界的光
12 耶穌又對眾人說：“我是世界的光，跟從我的，必定不在黑暗裡走，卻要得著生命的光。” 13 法利賽人對他說：“你為自己作證，你的見證不是真實的。” 14 耶穌回答：“即使我為自己作證，我的見證還是真實的，因為我知道我從哪裡來，往哪裡去，但你們卻不知道我從哪裡來，往哪裡去。 15 你們按著外貌判斷人，我卻不判斷人。 16 即使我判斷人，我的判斷也是正確的，因為我不是獨自一人，而是差我來的父和我在一起。 17 你們的律法上也寫著：‘兩個人的見證才是真的。’ 18 我為自己作證，差我來的父也為我作證。” 19 他們問：“你的父在哪裡？”耶穌回答：“你們不認識我，也不認識我的父；如果你們認識我，也就認識我的父了。” 20 這些話是耶穌在殿裡教導人的時候，在銀庫的院中說的。當時沒有人逮捕他，因為他的時候還沒有到。
不信基督的必在罪中死亡
21 耶穌又對他們說：“我要去了，你們要尋找我，並且要在自己的罪中死亡；我去的地方，你們不能到。” 22 於是猶太人說：“他說‘我去的地方，你們不能到’，難道他要自殺嗎？” 23 耶穌說：“你們是從地上來的，我是從天上來的；你們屬這世界，我卻不屬這世界， 24 所以我對你們說，你們要在自己的罪中死亡；你們若不信我就是‘那一位’，就要在自己的罪中死亡。” 25 他們就問：“你是誰？”耶穌說：“我不是從起初就告訴你們嗎？ 26 關於你們，我有許多事要說，要判斷；但那差我來的是真實的，我從他那裡聽見的，就告訴世人。” 27 他們不明白耶穌是對他們講論父的事。 28 所以耶穌說：“你們舉起了人子以後，必定知道我就是‘那一位’，並且知道我不憑著自己作甚麼事；我說的這些話，是照著父所教導我的。 29 那差我來的和我同在，他沒有留下我獨自一人，因為我常作他喜悅的事。” 30 耶穌說這些話的時候，就有許多人信了他。
真理必使人自由
31 於是耶穌對信了他的猶太人說：“你們若持守我的道，就真是我的門徒了； 32 你們必定認識真理，真理必定使你們自由。” 33 他們說：“我們是亞伯拉罕的後裔，從來沒有被誰奴役過，你怎麼說‘你們必得自由’呢？” 34 耶穌說：“我實實在在告訴你們，凡犯罪的都是罪的奴隸。 35 奴隸不能永遠住在家裡，唯有兒子才可以永遠住在家裡。 36 所以， 神的兒子若使你們自由，你們就真的得自由了。 37 我知道你們是亞伯拉罕的後裔；但你們想殺我，因為你們心裡不能容納我的道。 38 我所說的，是我在父那裡看見的；但你們所作的，卻是從你們的父那裡聽見的。”
魔鬼的兒女不肯聽主的道
39 他們說：“我們的祖宗是亞伯拉罕。”耶穌說：“你們若是亞伯拉罕的子孫，就必作亞伯拉罕所作的。 40 現在我把從 神那裡聽見的真理告訴了你們，你們竟然想殺我，這不是亞伯拉罕所作的。 41 你們要作的，正是你們的父要作的。”他們說：“我們不是從淫亂生的；我們只有一位父，就是 神。” 42 耶穌說：“如果 神是你們的父，你們就必愛我，因為我是從 神那裡來的；我已經來到這裡。我不是憑著自己來的，而是 神差了我來。 43 你們為甚麼不明白我的話呢？因為我的道你們聽不進去。 44 你們是出於你們的父魔鬼，喜歡按著你們的父的私慾行事。他從起初就是殺人的兇手，不守真理，因為他心裡沒有真理。他說謊是出於本性，因為他本來就是說謊者，也是說謊的人的父。 45 我講真理，你們卻因此不信我。 46 你們中間有誰能指證我有罪呢？我既然講真理，你們為甚麼不信我呢？ 47 出於 神的，就聽 神的話；你們不聽，因為你們不是出於 神的。”
亞伯拉罕以前耶穌已存在
48 猶太人對耶穌說：“我們說你是撒瑪利亞人，並且是鬼附的，不是很對嗎？” 49 耶穌回答：“我不是鬼附的。我尊敬我的父，你們卻侮辱我。 50 我不求自己的榮耀，但有一位是為我求榮耀，並且是審判人的。 51 我實實在在告訴你們，人若遵守我的道，必定永遠不見死亡。” 52 猶太人對他說：“現在我們知道你的確是鬼附的。亞伯拉罕死了，先知們也死了，你還說‘人若遵守我的道，必定永遠不嘗死味’， 53 難道你比我們的祖宗亞伯拉罕還大嗎？他死了，先知們也死了；你把自己當作甚麼人呢？” 54 耶穌回答：“如果我榮耀自己，我的榮耀就算不得甚麼；那使我得榮耀的是我的父，就是你們說是你們的 神的那一位。 55 可是你們不認識他，我卻認識他。如果我說我不認識他，我就像你們一樣是說謊的；然而我認識他，也遵守他的道。 56 你們的祖宗亞伯拉罕，因為可以看見我的日子就歡喜，既然看見了，他就很快樂。” 57 猶太人對他說：“你還不到五十歲，怎會見過亞伯拉罕呢？” 58 耶穌說：“我實實在在告訴你們，亞伯拉罕出生以前，我已經存在了。” 59 於是他們拿起石頭要打他。耶穌卻躲起來，從殿裡出去了。
