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.

but Jesus went unto the mount of Olives. And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them. And the scribes and the Pharisees bring a woman taken in adultery; and having set her in the midst, they say unto him, Teacher, this woman hath been taken in adultery, in the very act. [a]Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such: what then sayest thou of her? And this they said, trying him, that they might have whereof to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground. But when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. And again he stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground. And they, when they heard it, went out one by one, beginning from the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman, where she was, in the midst. 10 And Jesus lifted up himself, and said unto her, Woman, where are they? did no man condemn thee? 11 And she said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said, Neither do I condemn thee: go thy way; from henceforth sin no more.]

12 Again therefore Jesus spake unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life. 13 The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest witness of thyself; thy witness is not true. 14 Jesus answered and said unto them, Even if I bear witness of myself, my witness is true; for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye know not whence I come, or whither I go. 15 Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man. 16 Yea and if I judge, my judgment is true; for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me. 17 Yea and in your law it is written, [b]that the witness of two men is true. 18 I am he that beareth witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me. 19 They said therefore unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye know neither me, nor my Father: if ye knew me, ye would know my Father also. 20 These words spake he in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man took him; because his hour was not yet come.

21 He said therefore again unto them, I go away, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sin: whither I go, ye cannot come. 22 The Jews therefore said, Will he kill himself, that he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come? 23 And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world. 24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for except ye believe that I am he, ye shall die in your sins. 25 They said therefore unto him, Who art thou? Jesus said unto them, [c]Even that which I have also spoken unto you from the beginning. 26 I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you: howbeit he that sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these speak I unto the world. 27 They perceived not that he spake to them of the Father. 28 Jesus therefore said, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that [d]I am he, and that I do nothing of myself, but as the Father taught me, I speak these things. 29 And he that sent me is with me; he hath not left me alone; for I do always the things that are pleasing to him. 30 As he spake these things, many believed on him.

31 Jesus therefore said to those Jews that had believed him, If ye abide in my word, then are ye truly my disciples; 32 and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. 33 They answered unto him, We are Abraham’s seed, and have never yet been in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? 34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Every one that committeth sin is the bondservant of sin. 35 And the bondservant abideth not in the house for ever: the son abideth for ever. 36 If therefore the Son shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. 37 I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; yet ye seek to kill me, because my word [e]hath not free course in you. 38 I speak the things which I have seen with [f]my Father: and ye also do the things which ye heard from your father. 39 They answered and said unto him, Our father is Abraham. Jesus saith unto them, If ye [g]were Abraham’s children, [h]ye would do the works of Abraham. 40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I heard from God: this did not Abraham. 41 Ye do the works of your father. They said unto him, We were not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God. 42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I came forth and am come from God; for neither have I come of myself, but he sent me. 43 Why do ye not [i]understand my speech? Even because ye cannot hear my word. 44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and standeth not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. [j]When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof. 45 But because I say the truth, ye believe me not. 46 Which of you convicteth me of sin? If I say truth, why do ye not believe me? 47 He that is of God heareth the words of God: for this cause ye hear them not, because ye are not of God. 48 The Jews answered and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon? 49 Jesus answered, I have not a demon; but I honor my Father, and ye dishonor me. 50 But I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth. 51 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my word, he shall never see death. 52 The Jews said unto him, Now we know that thou hast a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my word, he shall never taste of death. 53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who died? and the prophets died: whom makest thou thyself? 54 Jesus answered, If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing: it is my Father that glorifieth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God; 55 and ye have not known him: but I know him; and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be like unto you, a liar: but I know him, and keep his word. 56 Your father Abraham rejoiced [k]to see my day; and he saw it, and was glad. 57 The Jews therefore said unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? 58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was born, I am. 59 They took up stones therefore to cast at him: but Jesus [l]hid himself, and went out of the temple[m].

Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.

And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.

And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,

They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.

Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?

This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.

So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.

And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?

11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

13 The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true.

14 Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go.

15 Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.

16 And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.

17 It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.

18 I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.

19 Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.

20 These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.

21 Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.

22 Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.

23 And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.

24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.

25 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.

26 I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.

27 They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.

28 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.

29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.

30 As he spake these words, many believed on him.

31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;

32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

33 They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?

34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.

35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.

36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

37 I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.

38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.

39 They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.

40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.

41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.

42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.

43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.

44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.

46 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?

47 He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.

48 Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?

49 Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me.

50 And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.

51 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.

52 Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.

53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?

54 Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:

55 Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.

56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.

57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?

58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.

59 Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
