Samantala, pumunta si Jesus sa Bundok ng mga Olibo. Nang magmadaling-araw, nagpunta uli siya sa templo. Pumunta sa kanya ang lahat ng tao, kaya naupo siya at nagturo sa kanila. Dinala sa kanya ng mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan at ng mga Fariseo ang isang babaing nahuli sa pakikiapid, at pinatayo ito sa harapan nila. Sinabi nila sa kanya, “Guro, ang babaing ito ay nahuli habang nakikiapid. (A)Ngayon, inutos ng batas ni Moises na batuhin ang tulad niya. Ano ngayon ang masasabi mo?” Sinabi nila ito para subukin siya, upang sa gayon, mayroon silang gamitin laban sa kanya. Yumuko si Jesus at nagsulat sa lupa sa pamamagitan ng kanyang daliri. (B)At habang nagpapatuloy sila sa pagtatanong sa kanya, tumayo siya at sinabi sa kanila, “Sinuman sa inyo na walang kasalanan, siyang unang bumato sa kanya.” At muli siyang yumuko at nagsulat sa lupa sa pamamagitan ng kanyang daliri. Matapos nilang marinig ito, isa-isa silang nagsialis, simula sa pinakamatanda. Naiwang mag-isa si Jesus kasama ang babaing nakatayo sa harap niya. 10 Tumingala si Jesus at sinabi sa kanya, “Ginang, nasaan sila? Wala bang humusga sa iyo?” 11 At sinabi ng babae, “Wala, Ginoo.” At sinabi ni Jesus, “Hindi rin kita huhusgahan; humayo ka, at huwag nang magkasala.”

12 (C)At muling nagsalita sa kanila si Jesus, “Ako ang ilaw ng sanlibutan; ang sumusunod sa akin kailanma'y hindi mamumuhay sa kadiliman, kundi magkakaroon ng ilaw ng buhay.” 13 (D)Kaya sinabi sa kanya ng mga Fariseo, “Nagpapatotoo ka para sa iyong sarili; hindi tunay ang iyong patotoo.” 14 Sumagot si Jesus at sinabi sa kanila, “Kahit na nagpapatotoo ako para sa aking sarili, ang patotoo ko ay tunay, sapagkat alam ko kung saan ako nanggaling at kung saan ako pupunta, ngunit hindi ninyo alam kung saan ako nanggaling at kung saan ako pupunta. 15 Humuhusga kayo nang naaayon sa laman, ako'y hindi humuhusga kanino man. 16 Ngunit kahit na humusga ako, ang paghuhusga ko ay totoo, sapagkat hindi lang ako mag-isang humuhusga, kundi ako at siya na nagsugo sa akin. 17 (E)Nakasulat sa inyong batas na ang patotoo ng dalawang tao ay totoo. 18 Nagpapatotoo ako sa sarili ko, at ang Ama na nagsugo sa akin ang nagpapatotoo tungkol sa akin.” 19 Dahil dito ay sinabi nila sa kanya, “Nasaan ang iyong Ama?” Sumagot si Jesus, “Hindi ninyo ako nakikilala, maging ang aking Ama; kung kilala ninyo ako, kilala ninyo rin sana ang Ama ko.” 20 Ito ang mga salitang sinabi niya sa may kabang-yaman habang siya ay nagtuturo sa templo. Walang humuli sa kanya dahil ang oras niya ay hindi pa dumarating. 21 Kaya muli'y sinabi niya sa kanila, “Aalis ako, at hahanapin ninyo ako at mamamatay kayo sa inyong kasalanan. Hindi kayo makapupunta sa pupuntahan ko.” 22 Sinabi ng mga Judio, “Papatayin ba niya ang kanyang sarili, dahil sinasabi niyang, ‘Hindi kayo makapupunta sa pupuntahan ko’?” 23 Sinabi niya sa kanila, “Kayo ay mula sa ibaba, ako ay mula sa itaas; kayo ay tagasanlibutang ito, ako ay hindi tagarito. 24 Sinabi ko sa inyo na mamamatay kayo sa inyong mga kasalanan; sapagkat mamamatay kayo sa inyong mga kasalanan malibang maniwala kayo na Ako’y Ako Nga.” 25 Sinabi nila sa kanya, “Sino ka?” Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Bakit ba ako nakipag-usap pa sa inyo. 26 Marami pa akong sasabihin at huhusgahan tungkol sa inyo; subalit ang nagsugo sa akin ay totoo, at sinasabi ko sa sanlibutan kung ano ang narinig ko mula sa kanya.” 27 Hindi nila naintindihan na ang tinutukoy niya ay ang Ama. 28 Kaya sinabi ni Jesus, “Kapag itinaas ninyo ang Anak ng Tao, mauunawaan ninyo na ako siya, at wala akong ginagawang mula sa sarili ko, kundi, sinasabi ko ang mga bagay na ito na ayon sa itinuro sa akin ng Ama. 29 At siya na nagsugo sa akin ay kasama ko. Hindi niya ako iniwang mag-isa, sapagkat lagi kong ginagawa ang bagay na nakalulugod sa kanya.” 30 Maraming nanampalataya sa kanya habang sinasabi niya ang mga bagay na ito. 31 Kaya't sinabi ni Jesus sa mga Judio na nanampalataya sa kanya, “Kung mananatili kayo sa aking salita, kayo ay mga tunay kong alagad, 32 at malalaman ninyo ang katotohanan, at ang katotohanan ang magpapalaya sa inyo.” 33 (F)Sumagot sila sa kanya, “Kami ay mga lahi ni Abraham at kailanma'y hindi naging alipin nino man. Bakit mo sinasabing, ‘magiging malaya kayo’?” 34 Sinagot sila ni Jesus, “Katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo, ang sinumang nagkakasala ay alipin ng kasalanan. 35 Ang alipin ay hindi nananatili sa bahay habang buhay; ang anak ay nananatili habang buhay. 36 Kaya nga kung palalayain kayo ng Anak, magiging malaya nga kayong tunay. 37 Alam kong kayo ay mga lahi ni Abraham; pero pinagsisikapan ninyo akong patayin dahil walang lugar ang salita ko sa inyo. 38 Sinasabi ko kung ano ang nakita ko sa aking Ama, at ginagawa naman ninyo kung ano ang narinig ninyo sa inyong ama.” 39 Sumagot sila at sinabi sa kanya, “Ama namin si Abraham.” Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Kung kayo ay mga anak ni Abraham, gagawin ninyo ang ginawa ni Abraham. 40 Subalit ngayon ay gusto ninyo akong patayin, isang taong nagsasabi sa inyo ng katotohanang narinig ko sa Diyos; hindi ito ang ginawa ni Abraham. 41 Ginagawa ninyo ang mga gawa ng inyong ama.” Sinabi nila sa kanya, “Hindi kami ipinanganak sa pakikiapid, mayroon kaming isang Ama, ang Diyos.” 42 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Kung ang Diyos ang inyong Ama, mamahalin sana ninyo ako dahil ako ay galing sa Diyos at naparito. Hindi ako naparito dahil sa aking sariling kagustuhan, dahil isinugo niya ako. 43 Bakit hindi ninyo maunawaan ang sinasabi ko? Dahil hindi ninyo kayang pakinggan ang salita ko. 44 (G)Kayo ay mula sa inyong amang diyablo, at ang hangarin ninyo ay gawin ang mga gusto ng ama ninyo. Siya ay mamamatay-tao mula pa sa simula, at hindi naninindigan sa katotohanan sapagkat walang katotohanan sa kanya. Kapag siya ay nagsisinungaling, nangungusap siya ayon sa kanyang kalikasan, dahil siya ay sinungaling at ama ng kasinungalingan. 45 Pero dahil nagsasabi ako ng katotohanan, hindi kayo naniniwala sa akin. 46 Sino sa inyo ang makasusumbat sa akin ng kasalanan? Kung nagsasabi ako ng katotohanan, bakit hindi kayo naniniwala sa akin? 47 Ang mula sa Diyos ay nakikinig ng mga salita ng Diyos; ang dahilan kung bakit hindi ninyo pinakikinggan ang mga ito ay dahil hindi kayo nagmula sa Diyos.” 48 Sinagot siya ng mga Judio, “Hindi ba tama kami nang sabihin naming ikaw ay isang Samaritano at sinasaniban ka ng diyablo?” 49 Sumagot si Jesus, “Hindi ako sinasaniban ng diyablo. Pinaparangalan ko ang aking Ama, at sinisira ninyo ang aking karangalan. 50 Subalit hindi ako naghahanap ng karangalan para sa sarili; may isang naghahanap nito at humahatol. 51 Katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo, ang sinumang tumutupad ng aking salita ay hindi kailanman daranas ng kamatayan.” 52 Sinabi ng mga Judio sa kanya, “Ngayon, alam na naming sinasaniban ka nga ng diyablo. Namatay rin si Abraham gaya ng mga propeta; at sinasabi mo na, ‘Sinumang tumutupad ng salita ko ay hindi kailanman makalalasap ng kamatayan.’ 53 Mas dakila ka pa ba kaysa aming amang si Abraham na namatay? Maging ang mga propeta ay namatay! Sino ka ba sa palagay mo?” 54 Sumagot si Jesus, “Kung niluluwalhati ko ang aking sarili, ang kaluwalhatian ko ay walang saysay. Ang aking Ama ang lumuluwalhati sa akin, siya na sinasabi ninyo na inyong Diyos. 55 Hindi ninyo siya nakikilala, ngunit kilala ko siya. Kung sabihin kong hindi ko siya kilala, magiging sinungaling din ako na tulad ninyo; pero kilala ko siya at tinutupad ko ang salita niya. 56 Ang ama ninyong si Abraham ay nagalak dahil makikita niya ang araw ko. Nakita niya ito at siya ay nagalak.” 57 Sinabi ng mga Judio sa kanya, “Wala ka pang limampung taon, nakita mo na ba si Abraham?” 58 Sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Katotohanan ang sinasabi ko sa inyo, wala pa man si Abraham Ako’y Ako na Nga.” 59 Dahil dito pumulot sila ng bato para batuhin siya; subalit nagtago si Jesus, at lumabas ng templo.

But, Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.

And early in the morning, He came into the Temple again. And all the people came to Him. And He sat down and taught them.

Then the scribes and the Pharisees brought to Him a woman taken in adultery. And setting her in their midst,

they said to Him, “Master, we found this woman committing adultery, even in the very act.

“Now Moses, in our Law, commanded that such should be stoned. What do You say, therefore?”

Now they said this to tempt Him, so that they might have something of which to accuse Him. But Jesus, having stooped down, wrote on the ground with His finger.

And while they continued asking Him, He lifted Himself up, and said to them, “Let the one among you without sin cast the first stone at her.”

And again He stooped down and wrote on the ground.

And when they heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, they went out, one by one, beginning at the eldest, until the last. And Jesus was left alone, with the woman, standing in the midst.

10 When Jesus had lifted Himself up again, and saw no one except the woman, He said to her, “Woman, where are your accusers? Has no one condemned you?”

11 She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said, “Nor do I condemn you. Go and sin no more.”

12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. The one who follows Me shall not walk in darkness but shall have the light of life.”

13 Therefore, the Pharisees said to Him, “You bear witness of Yourself. Your record is not true.”

14 Jesus answered, and said to them, “Even though I bear witness of Myself, My record is true. For I know from where I come, and to where I go. But you cannot tell from where I came, and to where I go.

15 “You judge after the flesh. I judge no one.

16 “If, however, I do judge, My judgment is true. For I am not alone, but I and the Father Who sent Me.

17 “And 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 the Father, Who sent Me, bears witness of Me.”

19 Then they said to Him, “Where is this Father of Yours?” Jesus answered, “You know neither Me nor My Father. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also.

20 Jesus spoke these words in the treasury, as He taught in the Temple. And no one laid hands on Him. For His hour had not yet come.

21 Then Jesus said again to them, “I go My way. And you shall seek Me and shall die in your sins. Where I go, you cannot come.”

22 Then said the Jews, “Will He kill himself? Because, He says, ‘Where I go, you cannot come’?”

23 And He said to them, “You are from beneath. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world.

24 “Therefore I said to you that you shall die in your sins. For unless you believe that I am He, you shall die in your sins.”

25 Then they said to Him, “Who are you?” And Jesus said to them, “Still the same that I said 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 that I have heard from Him, those I speak to the world.”

27 They did not understand what He spoke to them about the Father.

28 Then Jesus said to them, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you shall know that I am He, and that I do nothing of Myself. But as My Father has taught Me, I spoke these things.

29 “For He who sent Me is with Me. The Father has not left Me alone, because I always do those things that please Him.”

30 As He spoke these things, many believed in Him.

31 Then Jesus said to the Jews who believed in Him, “If you continue in My word, you are truly My disciples.

32 “And you shall know the truth. And the truth shall make you free.”

33 They answered Him, “We are Abraham’s seed, and were never slave to anyone. Why then do You say, ‘You shall be made free’?”

34 Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly I say to you that whoever commits sin is the servant of sin.

35 “And the servant does not abide in the house forever. But the Son abides forever.

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

37 “I know that you are Abraham’s seed. But you seek to kill Me because My Word has no place in you.

38 “I speak that which I have seen with My Father. And you do that which you have seen with your father.”

39 They answered, and said to Him, “Abraham is our father.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham.

40 “But now you seek to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth, which I have heard from God. Abraham did not do this.

41 “You do the works of your father.” Then they said to Him, “We are not born of fornication. We have one Father, Who is God.”

42 Therefore Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, then you would love Me. For I proceeded forth and came from God. I did not even come of Myself, but He sent Me.

43 “Why do you not understand My talk? Because you cannot hear My word.

44 “You are of your father, the devil. And you will do the lusts of your father. He has been a murderer from the beginning, and did not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, then he speaks of his own. For he is a liar and the father thereof.

45 “And because I tell you the truth, you do not believe Me.

46 “Which of you can rebuke Me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do you not believe Me?

47 “The one who is of God hears God’s Words. You, therefore, do not hear them, because you are not of God.”

48 Then the Jews answered, and said to Him, “Are we not correct in saying that You are a Samaritan, and have a demon?”

49 Jesus answered, “I have no demon. But I honor My Father. And you have dishonored Me.

50 “And I do not seek My own praise. But there is One Who seeks it, and judges.

51 “Truly, truly I say to you, “If anyone keeps My Word, he shall never see death.”

52 Then the Jews said to Him, “Now we know that You have a demon. Abraham is dead, and the Prophets, and You say, ‘If anyone keeps My Word, he shall never taste of death.

53 “Are You greater than our father, Abraham, who is dead?! And the Prophets are dead! Who do You think You are!?”

54 Jesus answered, “If I honor Myself, My honor is worth nothing. It is My Father Who honors Me; the One you say is your God.

55 “Yet you have not known Him. But I know Him. And if I should say I do not know Him, I would be a liar, like you. But I know Him and keep His word.

56 “Your father, Abraham, rejoiced to see My day. And he saw it and was glad.”

57 Then the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and You have seen Abraham?”

58 Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly I say to you: Before Abraham was, I am.”

59 Then they took up stones to throw at Him. But Jesus hid Himself and went out of the Temple. And He passed through the midst of them, and so went His way.

but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.(A)

At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them.(B) The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women.(C) Now what do you say?” 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. 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) Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.

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.
