Juan 8
Magandang Balita Biblia
8 Si Jesus naman ay pumunta sa Bundok ng mga Olibo. 2 Kinabukasan, maaga pa'y nagbalik na siya sa Templo. Lumapit sa kanya ang lahat ng mga tao. Umupo siya at nagsimulang magturo. 3 Dumating noon ang mga tagapagturo ng Kautusan at mga Pariseo na may dalang isang babaing nahuli sa pangangalunya. Iniharap nila ito sa karamihan, 4 at sinabi kay Jesus, “Guro, ang babaing ito'y nahuli sa aktong pangangalunya. 5 Ayon(A) sa Kautusan ni Moises, dapat batuhin hanggang sa mamatay ang mga katulad niya. Ano naman ang masasabi ninyo?” 6 Itinanong nila ito upang subukin siya, at nang may maiparatang sila laban sa kanya.
Ngunit yumuko lamang si Jesus at sumulat sa lupa sa pamamagitan ng daliri.
7 Patuloy(B) sila sa pagtatanong kaya't tumayo si Jesus at nagsalita, “Ang sinuman sa inyo na walang kasalanan ang siyang maunang bumato sa kanya.” 8 At muli siyang yumuko at sumulat sa lupa.
9 Nang marinig nila iyon, sila'y isa-isang umalis, simula sa pinakamatanda. Iniwan nila ang babaing nakatayo sa harap ni Jesus. 10 Tumayo si Jesus at tinanong ang babae, “Nasaan sila? Wala na bang humahatol sa iyo?”
11 “Wala po, Ginoo,” sagot ng babae.
Sinabi ni Jesus, “Hindi rin kita hahatulan. Umuwi ka na, at mula ngayon ay huwag ka nang gumawa ng kasalanan.”][a]
Patotoo tungkol kay Jesus
12 Muling(C) nagsalita si Jesus sa mga tao. Sinabi niya, “Ako ang ilaw ng sanlibutan. Ang sumusunod sa akin ay magkakaroon ng ilaw sa kanyang buhay at di na lalakad sa kadiliman.”
13 Sinabi(D) sa kanya ng mga Pariseo, “Ikaw lang ang nagpapatotoo tungkol sa iyong sarili; walang katotohanan ang ganyang patotoo.”
14 Sumagot si Jesus, “Kung nagpapatotoo man ako tungkol sa aking sarili, totoo ang aking sinasabi, sapagkat alam ko kung saan ako nanggaling at kung saan ako pupunta. Ngunit hindi ninyo alam ang aking pinanggalingan at ang aking pupuntahan. 15 Humahatol kayo ayon sa mga pamantayan ng tao, ngunit hindi ako humahatol kaninuman. 16 At humatol man ako, tama ang aking paghatol, sapagkat hindi ako nag-iisa sa aking paghatol, kundi kasama ko ang Ama na nagsugo sa akin. 17 Nasusulat(E) sa inyong Kautusan na dapat tanggapin ang patotoo ng dalawang saksi. 18 Nagpatotoo ako tungkol sa aking sarili, at nagpapatotoo rin ang Ama na nagsugo sa akin.”
19 Siya'y tinanong nila, “Nasaan ang iyong ama?”
Sumagot si Jesus, “Hindi ninyo ako kilala, at hindi rin ninyo kilala ang aking Ama. Kung kilala ninyo ako, kilala rin ninyo siya.”
20 Ito'y sinabi ni Jesus nang siya'y nagtuturo sa Templo, sa may lalagyan ng mga alay. Ngunit walang nangahas na humuli sa kanya sapagkat hindi pa dumating ang kanyang takdang oras.
Ang Nagsugo kay Jesus
21 Muling sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Ako'y aalis at hahanapin ninyo ako; ngunit hindi kayo makakapunta sa pupuntahan ko. Mamamatay kayo sa inyong mga kasalanan.”
22 Nag-usap-usap ang mga Judio, “Magpapakamatay kaya siya kaya niya sinabing ‘Hindi kayo makakapunta sa pupuntahan ko’?”
23 Kaya't sinabi ni Jesus, “Kayo'y mula dito sa ibaba, ako'y mula sa itaas. Kayo'y taga-sanlibutang ito, ngunit ako'y hindi. 24 Sinabi ko sa inyong mamamatay kayo sa inyong mga kasalanan. Kung hindi kayo maniniwalang ‘Ako'y Ako Nga’, mamamatay kayo sa inyong mga kasalanan.”
25 “Sino ka nga bang talaga?” tanong nila.
Sumagot si Jesus, “Sinabi ko na sa inyo noong simula pa lamang kung sino ako. 26 Marami akong masasabi at maihahatol laban sa inyo. Ngunit totoo at dapat paniwalaan ang nagsugo sa akin, at ang narinig ko sa kanya ang ipinapahayag ko sa sanlibutan.”
27 Hindi nila nauunawaan na ang Ama ang tinutukoy niya. 28 Kaya't sinabi ni Jesus, “Kapag naitaas na ninyo ang Anak ng Tao, malalaman ninyong ‘Ako'y Ako Nga.’ Wala akong ginagawa batay sa sarili kong kapangyarihan. Ang ipinapasabi lamang ng Ama ang siya kong sinasabi, 29 at kasama ko ang nagsugo sa akin at hindi niya ako iniiwan, sapagkat lagi kong ginagawa ang kalugud-lugod sa kanya.”
30 Maraming nakarinig nito ang naniwala sa kanya.
Ang Katotohanan ang Magpapalaya sa Inyo
31 Sinabi naman ni Jesus sa mga Judiong naniniwala sa kanya, “Kung patuloy kayong susunod sa aking turo, kayo nga'y tunay na mga alagad ko. 32 Makikilala ninyo ang katotohanan, at ang katotohanan ang magpapalaya sa inyo.”
33 Sumagot(F) sila, “Kami ay mula sa lahi ni Abraham, at kailanma'y hindi kami naalipin ninuman. Paano mo masasabing palalayain kami?”
34 Sumagot si Jesus, “Pakatandaan ninyo: ang gumagawa ng kasalanan ay alipin ng kasalanan. 35 Ang alipin ay hindi kabilang sa pamilya sa habang panahon, subalit ang anak ay kabilang magpakailanman. 36 Kung ang Anak ang magpalaya sa inyo, kayo nga'y magiging tunay na malaya. 37 Alam kong kayo'y mula sa lahi ni Abraham, gayunma'y pinagsisikapan ninyo akong patayin, sapagkat ayaw ninyong tanggapin ang aking turo. 38 Ang nakita ko sa aking Ama ang siya kong sinasabi sa inyo, at ang narinig ninyo sa inyong ama ang siya namang ginagawa ninyo.”
Ang Diyablo ang Inyong Ama
39 Sumagot sila, “Si Abraham ang aming ama.”
Sinabi sa kanila ni Jesus, “Kung kayo'y tunay na mga anak ni Abraham, gagawin sana ninyo ang kanyang ginawa. 40 Sinasabi ko lang ang katotohanang narinig ko mula sa Diyos ngunit pinagsisikapan ninyong ako'y patayin. Hindi ganoon ang ginawa ni Abraham. 41 Ang ginagawa ninyo'y tulad ng ginawa ng inyong ama.”
Sumagot sila, “Hindi kami mga anak sa labas. Iisa ang aming Ama, ang Diyos.”
42 Sinabi ni Jesus, “Kung talagang ang Diyos ang inyong Ama, inibig sana ninyo ako, sapagkat sa Diyos ako nanggaling. Hindi ako naparito sa sarili kong kagustuhan, kundi isinugo niya ako. 43 Bakit di ninyo maunawaan ang sinasabi ko? Hindi ba't ito'y dahil sa ayaw ninyong tanggapin ang itinuturo ko? 44 Ang(G) diyablo ang inyong ama! At ang gusto ninyong gawin ay kung ano ang gusto niya. Sa simula pa lang ay mamamatay-tao na siya. Hindi siya pumanig sa katotohanan kailanman, sapagkat walang puwang sa kanya ang katotohanan. Kapag nagsasalita siya ng kasinungalingan, nagsasalita siya ayon sa kanyang kalikasan sapagkat siya'y sinungaling, at siya ang ama ng kasinungalingan. 45 Ayaw ninyong maniwala sa akin sapagkat katotohanan ang sinasabi ko sa inyo. 46 Sino sa inyo ang maaaring magpatunay na ako'y nagkasala? At kung katotohanan ang sinasabi ko, bakit ayaw ninyong maniwala sa akin? 47 Ang mula sa Diyos ay nakikinig sa mga salita ng Diyos, subalit ayaw ninyong makinig sa akin sapagkat kayo'y hindi mula sa Diyos.”
Si Jesus at si Abraham
48 Sinabi ng mga Judio kay Jesus, “Hindi ba tama ang sinabi naming ikaw ay Samaritano at sinasapian ng demonyo?”
49 Sumagot si Jesus, “Hindi ako sinasapian ng demonyo. Pinaparangalan ko ang aking Ama ngunit ako'y nilalapastangan ninyo. 50 Hindi ako naghahangad na ako'y parangalan; may isang nagsisikap na ako'y parangalan, at siya ang hahatol. 51 Pakatandaan ninyo: ang tumutupad ng aking salita ay hindi mamamatay kailanman.”
52 Sinabi ng mga Judio, “Ngayo'y natitiyak naming sinasapian ka nga ng demonyo. Namatay si Abraham at ang mga propeta, ngunit sinasabi mong hindi mamamatay kailanman ang sinumang tumutupad ng iyong aral. 53 Mas magaling ka pa ba kaysa sa aming amang si Abraham? Siya'y namatay, gayundin ang mga propeta. Ano ba ang palagay mo sa iyong sarili?”
54 Sumagot si Jesus, “Kung ako ang nagpaparangal sa aking sarili, walang kabuluhan iyon. Ang nagpaparangal sa akin ay ang aking Ama na sinasabi ninyong Diyos ninyo. 55 Hindi ninyo siya kilala, ngunit siya'y kilala ko. Kung sasabihin kong hindi ko siya kilala, ako'y magiging sinungaling na tulad ninyo. Subalit kilala ko siya at tinutupad ko ang kanyang salita. 56 Natuwa ang inyong amang si Abraham nang malaman niyang makikita niya ang araw ng aking pagdating. Nakita nga niya ito at siya'y nagalak.”
57 Dahil dito'y sinabi sa kanya ng mga Judio, “Wala ka pang limampung taong gulang, paano mo masasabing nakita mo na si Abraham?”[b]
58 Sumagot si Jesus, “Pakatandaan ninyo: bago pa ipinanganak si Abraham, ‘Ako ay Ako Na’.”
59 Nagsidampot sila ng bato upang siya'y batuhin, ngunit nagtago si Jesus at lumabas ng Templo.
John 8
King James Version
8 Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.
2 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.
3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
6 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.
7 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.
8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
9 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.
Johanneksen 8
Raamattu 1933/38
8 Mutta Jeesus meni Öljymäelle.
2 Ja varhain aamulla hän taas saapui pyhäkköön, ja kaikki kansa tuli hänen luoksensa; ja hän istuutui ja opetti heitä.
3 Silloin kirjanoppineet ja fariseukset toivat hänen luoksensa aviorikoksesta kiinniotetun naisen, asettivat hänet keskelle
4 ja sanoivat Jeesukselle: "Opettaja, tämä nainen on tavattu itse teosta, aviorikosta tekemästä.
5 Ja Mooses on laissa antanut meille käskyn, että tuommoiset on kivitettävä. Mitäs sinä sanot?"
6 Mutta sen he sanoivat kiusaten häntä, päästäkseen häntä syyttämään. Silloin Jeesus kumartui alas ja kirjoitti sormellaan maahan.
7 Mutta kun he yhä edelleen kysyivät häneltä, ojensi hän itsensä ja sanoi heille: "Joka teistä on synnitön, se heittäköön häntä ensimmäisenä kivellä".
8 Ja taas hän kumartui alas ja kirjoitti maahan.
9 Kun he tämän kuulivat ja heidän omatuntonsa todisti heidät syyllisiksi, menivät he pois, toinen toisensa perästä, vanhimmista alkaen viimeisiin asti; ja siihen jäi ainoastaan Jeesus sekä nainen, joka seisoi hänen edessään.
10 Ja kun Jeesus ojensi itsensä eikä nähnyt ketään muuta kuin naisen, sanoi hän hänelle: "Nainen, missä ne ovat, sinun syyttäjäsi? Eikö kukaan ole sinua tuominnut?"
11 Hän vastasi: "Herra, ei kukaan". Niin Jeesus sanoi hänelle: "En minäkään sinua tuomitse; mene, äläkä tästedes enää syntiä tee".
12 Niin Jeesus taas puhui heille sanoen: "Minä olen maailman valkeus; joka minua seuraa, se ei pimeydessä vaella, vaan hänellä on oleva elämän valkeus".
13 Niin fariseukset sanoivat hänelle: "Sinä todistat itsestäsi; sinun todistuksesi ei ole pätevä".
14 Jeesus vastasi ja sanoi heille: "Vaikka minä todistankin itsestäni, on todistukseni pätevä, sillä minä tiedän, mistä minä olen tullut ja mihin minä menen; mutta te ette tiedä, mistä minä tulen, ettekä, mihin minä menen.
15 Te tuomitsette lihan mukaan; minä en tuomitse ketään.
16 Ja vaikka minä tuomitsisinkin, niin minun tuomioni olisi oikea, sillä minä en ole yksinäni, vaan minä ja hän, joka on minut lähettänyt.
17 Onhan teidän laissannekin kirjoitettuna, että kahden ihmisen todistus on pätevä.
18 Minä olen se, joka todistan itsestäni, ja minusta todistaa myös Isä, joka on minut lähettänyt."
19 Niin he sanoivat hänelle: "Missä sinun isäsi on?" Jeesus vastasi: "Te ette tunne minua ettekä minun Isääni; jos te tuntisitte minut, niin te tuntisitte myös minun Isäni".
20 Nämä sanat Jeesus puhui uhriarkun ääressä, opettaessaan pyhäkössä; eikä kukaan ottanut häntä kiinni, sillä hänen hetkensä ei ollut vielä tullut.
21 Niin Jeesus taas sanoi heille: "Minä menen pois, ja te etsitte minua, ja te kuolette syntiinne. Mihin minä menen, sinne te ette voi tulla."
22 Niin juutalaiset sanoivat: "Ei kai hän aikone tappaa itseänsä, koska sanoo: 'Mihin minä menen, sinne te ette voi tulla'?"
23 Ja hän sanoi heille: "Te olette alhaalta, minä olen ylhäältä; te olette tästä maailmasta, minä en ole tästä maailmasta.
24 Sentähden minä sanoin teille, että te kuolette synteihinne; sillä ellette usko minua siksi, joka minä olen, niin te kuolette synteihinne."
25 Niin he sanoivat hänelle: "Kuka sinä olet?" Jeesus sanoi heille: "Juuri se, mitä minä puhunkin teille.
26 Paljon on minulla teistä puhuttavaa ja teissä tuomittavaa; mutta hän, joka on minut lähettänyt, on totinen, ja minkä minä olen kuullut häneltä, sen minä puhun maailman kuulla."
27 Mutta he eivät ymmärtäneet, että hän puhui heille Isästä.
28 Niin Jeesus sanoi heille: "Kun olette ylentäneet Ihmisen Pojan, silloin te ymmärrätte, että minä olen se, joka minä olen, ja etten minä itsestäni tee mitään, vaan puhun tätä sen mukaan, kuin minun Isäni on minulle opettanut.
29 Ja hän, joka on minut lähettänyt, on minun kanssani; hän ei ole jättänyt minua yksinäni, koska minä aina teen sitä, mikä hänelle on otollista."
30 Kun hän näin puhui, uskoivat monet häneen.
31 Niin Jeesus sanoi niille juutalaisille, jotka uskoivat häneen: "Jos te pysytte minun sanassani, niin te totisesti olette minun opetuslapsiani;
32 ja te tulette tuntemaan totuuden, ja totuus on tekevä teidät vapaiksi".
33 He vastasivat hänelle: "Me olemme Aabrahamin jälkeläisiä emmekä ole koskaan olleet kenenkään orjia. Kuinka sinä sitten sanot: 'Te tulette vapaiksi'?"
34 Jeesus vastasi heille: "Totisesti, totisesti minä sanon teille: jokainen, joka tekee syntiä, on synnin orja.
35 Mutta orja ei pysy talossa iäti; Poika pysyy iäti.
36 Jos siis Poika tekee teidät vapaiksi, niin te tulette todellisesti vapaiksi.
37 Minä tiedän, että te olette Aabrahamin jälkeläisiä; mutta te tavoittelette minua tappaaksenne, koska minun sanani ei saa tilaa teissä.
38 Minä puhun, mitä minä olen nähnyt Isäni tykönä; niin tekin teette, mitä olette kuulleet omalta isältänne."
39 He vastasivat ja sanoivat hänelle: "Aabraham on meidän isämme". Jeesus sanoi heille: "Jos olisitte Aabrahamin lapsia, niin te tekisitte Aabrahamin tekoja.
40 Mutta nyt te tavoittelette minua tappaaksenne, miestä, joka on puhunut teille totuuden, jonka hän on kuullut Jumalalta. Niin ei Aabraham tehnyt.
41 Te teette isänne tekoja." He sanoivat hänelle: "Me emme ole aviorikoksesta syntyneitä; meillä on yksi Isä, Jumala".
42 Jeesus sanoi heille: "Jos Jumala olisi teidän Isänne, niin te rakastaisitte minua, sillä minä olen Jumalasta lähtenyt ja tullut; en minä ole itsestäni tullut, vaan hän on minut lähettänyt.
43 Minkätähden te ette ymmärrä minun puhettani? Sentähden, että te ette kärsi kuulla minun sanaani.
44 Te olette isästä perkeleestä, ja isänne himoja te tahdotte noudattaa. Hän on ollut murhaaja alusta asti, ja totuudessa hän ei pysy, koska hänessä ei totuutta ole. Kun hän puhuu valhetta, niin hän puhuu omaansa, sillä hän on valhettelija ja sen isä.
45 Mutta minua te ette usko, sentähden että minä sanon totuuden.
46 Kuka teistä voi näyttää minut syypääksi syntiin? Jos minä totuutta puhun, miksi ette minua usko?
47 Joka on Jumalasta, se kuulee Jumalan sanat. Sentähden te ette kuule, koska ette ole Jumalasta."
48 Niin juutalaiset vastasivat ja sanoivat hänelle: "Emmekö ole oikeassa, kun sanomme, että sinä olet samarialainen ja että sinussa on riivaaja?"
49 Jeesus vastasi: "Minussa ei ole riivaajaa, vaan minä kunnioitan Isääni, ja te häpäisette minua.
50 Mutta minä en etsi omaa kunniaani; yksi on, joka etsii ja tuomitsee.
51 Totisesti, totisesti minä sanon teille: jos joku pitää minun sanani, hän ei ikinä näe kuolemaa."
52 Juutalaiset sanoivat hänelle: "Nyt me ymmärrämme, että sinussa on riivaaja. Aabraham on kuollut ja profeetat, ja sinä sanot: 'Jos joku pitää minun sanani, hän ei ikinä maista kuolemaa'.
53 Oletko sinä suurempi kuin isämme Aabraham, joka on kuollut? Ja profeetat ovat kuolleet; keneksi sinä itsesi teet?"
54 Jeesus vastasi: "Jos minä itse itselleni otan kunnian, niin minun kunniani ei ole mitään. Minun Isäni on se, joka minulle kunnian antaa, hän, josta te sanotte: 'Hän on meidän Jumalamme',
55 ettekä tunne häntä; mutta minä tunnen hänet. Ja jos sanoisin, etten tunne häntä, niin minä olisin valhettelija niinkuin tekin; mutta minä tunnen hänet ja pidän hänen sanansa.
56 Aabraham, teidän isänne, riemuitsi siitä, että hän oli näkevä minun päiväni; ja hän näki sen ja iloitsi."
57 Niin juutalaiset sanoivat hänelle: "Et ole vielä viidenkymmenen vuoden vanha, ja olet nähnyt Aabrahamin!"
58 Jeesus sanoi heille: "Totisesti, totisesti minä sanon teille: ennenkuin Aabraham syntyi, olen minä ollut".
59 Silloin he poimivat kiviä heittääksensä häntä niillä; mutta Jeesus lymysi ja lähti pyhäköstä.
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.
