La mujer sorprendida en adulterio
8 Pero Jesús se fue al monte de los Olivos(A). 2 Al amanecer, vino otra vez al templo, y todo el pueblo venía a Él; y sentándose, les enseñaba(B). 3 Los escribas y los fariseos trajeron* a una mujer sorprendida en adulterio, y poniéndola en medio, 4 dijeron* a Jesús: «Maestro, esta mujer ha sido sorprendida en el acto mismo del adulterio. 5 Y en la ley, Moisés nos ordenó apedrear a esta clase de mujeres(C). ¿Tú, pues, qué dices?».
6 Decían esto, poniendo a prueba a Jesús(D), para tener de qué acusarlo(E). Pero Jesús se inclinó y con el dedo escribía en la tierra. 7 Pero como insistían en preguntar, Jesús se enderezó(F) y les dijo: «El que de ustedes esté sin pecado, sea el primero(G)en tirarle una piedra(H)».
8 E inclinándose de nuevo, escribía en la tierra. 9 Al oír ellos esto, se fueron retirando uno a uno comenzando por los de mayor edad, y dejaron solo a Jesús y a la mujer que estaba en medio. 10 Enderezándose(I) Jesús, le dijo: «Mujer, ¿dónde están ellos? ¿Ninguno te ha condenado?».
11 «Ninguno, Señor», respondió ella. Entonces Jesús le dijo: «Yo tampoco te condeno(J). Vete; y desde ahora no peques más(K)».
Jesús, la Luz del mundo
12 Jesús les habló otra vez, diciendo: «Yo soy la Luz del mundo(L); el que me sigue no andará en tinieblas, sino que tendrá la Luz(M)de la vida». 13 Entonces los fariseos le dijeron: «Tú das testimonio de Ti mismo; Tu testimonio no es verdadero[a](N)».
14 Jesús les respondió: «Aunque Yo doy testimonio(O)de Mí mismo, Mi testimonio es verdadero, porque Yo sé de dónde he venido y adónde voy(P); pero ustedes no saben de dónde vengo(Q)ni adónde voy. 15 Ustedes juzgan según la carne[b](R); Yo no juzgo a nadie(S). 16 Pero si Yo juzgo, Mi juicio es verdadero; porque no soy Yo solo, sino Yo y el Padre que[c]me envió(T). 17 Aun en la ley de ustedes está escrito que el testimonio de dos hombres es verdadero(U). 18 Yo soy el que doy testimonio de Mí mismo, y el Padre que me envió da testimonio de Mí(V)».
19 Entonces le decían: «¿Dónde está Tu Padre?». «Ustedes no me conocen a Mí ni a Mi Padre», les respondió Jesús. «Si me conocieran, conocerían también a Mi Padre(W)».
20 Estas palabras las pronunció en el lugar del tesoro(X), cuando enseñaba en el templo(Y); y nadie lo prendió, porque todavía no había llegado Su hora(Z).
Advertencias a los incrédulos
21 Entonces Jesús les dijo de nuevo: «Yo me voy, y me buscarán(AA), y ustedes morirán en su pecado(AB); adonde Yo voy, ustedes no pueden ir». 22 Por eso los judíos(AC) decían: «¿Acaso se va a suicidar, puesto que dice: “Adonde Yo voy, ustedes no pueden ir(AD)”?».
23 Y Jesús les decía: «Ustedes son de abajo, Yo soy de arriba(AE); ustedes son de este mundo(AF), Yo no soy de este mundo(AG). 24 Por eso les dije que morirán en sus pecados; porque si no creen que Yo soy[d](AH), morirán en sus pecados(AI)».
25 «¿Tú quién eres?», le preguntaron. Jesús les contestó: «¿Qué les he estado diciendo desde el principio[e]? 26 Tengo mucho que decir y juzgar de ustedes, pero Aquel que me envió es veraz(AJ); y Yo, las cosas que oí de Él, estas digo al mundo(AK)».
27 Ellos no comprendieron que les hablaba del Padre. 28 Por eso Jesús les dijo: «Cuando ustedes levanten al Hijo del Hombre(AL), entonces sabrán que Yo soy[f](AM)y que no hago nada por Mi cuenta(AN), sino que hablo estas cosas como el Padre me enseñó. 29 Y Aquel que me envió está conmigo; no me ha dejado[g]solo(AO), porque Yo siempre hago lo que le agrada(AP)». 30 Al hablar estas cosas, muchos creyeron en Él(AQ).
Los verdaderos hijos de Abraham
31 Entonces Jesús decía a los judíos que habían creído en Él: «Si ustedes permanecen en Mi palabra(AR), verdaderamente son Mis discípulos(AS); 32 y conocerán la verdad(AT), y la verdad los hará libres(AU)». 33 Ellos le contestaron: «Somos descendientes de Abraham(AV) y nunca hemos sido esclavos de nadie. ¿Cómo dices Tú: “Serán libres”?».
34 Jesús les respondió: «En verdad les digo que todo el que comete pecado es esclavo del pecado(AW); 35 y el esclavo no queda en la casa para siempre(AX); el hijo sí permanece para siempre(AY). 36 Así que, si el Hijo los hace libres(AZ), ustedes serán realmente libres. 37 Sé que ustedes son descendientes de Abraham(BA); y sin embargo, me quieren matar(BB)porque Mi palabra no tiene aceptación en ustedes[h]. 38 Yo hablo lo que he visto con Mi Padre[i]; ustedes, entonces, hacen también lo que oyeron de su padre(BC)».
39 Ellos le contestaron: «Abraham es nuestro padre(BD)». Jesús les dijo*: «Si son hijos de Abraham(BE), hagan las obras de Abraham. 40 Pero ahora me quieren matar(BF), a Mí[j]que les he dicho la verdad que oí de Dios(BG). Esto no lo hizo Abraham. 41 Ustedes hacen las obras de su padre(BH)». Ellos le dijeron: «Nosotros no nacimos de fornicación; tenemos un Padre, es decir, Dios(BI)».
42 Jesús les dijo: «Si Dios fuera su Padre, me amarían(BJ), porque Yo salí de Dios y vine de Él(BK), pues no he venido por Mi propia iniciativa(BL), sino que Él[k]me envió(BM). 43 ¿Por qué no entienden lo que digo[l](BN)? Porque no pueden oír Mi palabra(BO).
44 »Ustedes son de su padre el diablo y quieren hacer los deseos de su padre(BP) . Él fue un asesino desde el principio(BQ) , y no se ha mantenido en la verdad porque no hay verdad en él. Cuando habla mentira[m] , habla de su propia naturaleza(BR) , porque es mentiroso(BS) y el padre de la mentira[n] . 45 Pero porque Yo digo la verdad(BT), no me creen. 46 ¿Quién de ustedes me prueba que tengo pecado? Y si digo verdad(BU), ¿por qué ustedes no me creen? 47 El que es de Dios escucha las palabras de Dios; por eso ustedes no escuchan, porque no son de Dios(BV)».
Jesús, anterior a Abraham
48 Los judíos(BW) le contestaron: «¿No decimos con razón que Tú eres samaritano(BX) y que tienes un demonio(BY)?». 49 Jesús respondió: «Yo no tengo ningún demonio(BZ), sino que honro a Mi Padre, y ustedes me deshonran a Mí. 50 Pero Yo no busco Mi gloria(CA); hay Uno que la busca, y juzga. 51 En verdad les digo que si alguien guarda Mi palabra(CB), no verá jamás la muerte(CC)».
52 Los judíos(CD) le dijeron: «Ahora sí sabemos que tienes un demonio(CE). Abraham murió, y también los profetas, y Tú dices: “Si alguien guarda Mi palabra(CF)no probará jamás la muerte(CG)”. 53 ¿Eres Tú acaso mayor que nuestro padre(CH) Abraham que murió? Los profetas también murieron; ¿quién crees que eres?[o]».
54 Jesús respondió: «Si Yo mismo me glorifico(CI), Mi gloria no es nada; es Mi Padre el que me glorifica(CJ), de quien ustedes dicen: “Él es nuestro Dios”. 55 Ustedes no lo han conocido(CK), pero Yo lo conozco; y si digo que no lo conozco seré un mentiroso como ustedes(CL); pero sí lo conozco(CM)y guardo Su palabra(CN). 56 Abraham, el padre de ustedes(CO), se regocijó esperando ver[p]Mi día; y lo vio y se alegró(CP)».
57 Por esto los judíos(CQ) le dijeron: «Aún no tienes cincuenta años, ¿y has visto a Abraham?». 58 Jesús les dijo: «En verdad les digo, que antes que Abraham naciera[q], Yo soy(CR)». 59 Entonces tomaron piedras para tirárselas(CS), pero Jesús se ocultó[r](CT) y salió del templo[s].

8 Datapuwa't si Jesus ay napasa bundok ng mga Olivo.
2 At pagka umaga ay nagbalik siya sa templo, at ang buong bayan ay lumapit sa kaniya; at siya'y naupo, at sila'y tinuruan.
3 At dinala sa kaniya ng mga eskriba at ng mga Fariseo ang isang babaing nahuli sa pangangalunya; at nang mailagay siya sa gitna,
4 Ay sinabi nila sa kaniya, Guro, nahuli ang babaing ito sa kasalukuyan ng pangangalunya.
5 Sa kautusan nga ay ipinagutos sa amin ni Moises na batuhin ang mga ganyan: ano nga ang iyong sabi tungkol sa kaniya?
6 At ito'y kanilang sinabi, na siya'y sinusubok, upang sa kaniya'y may maisumbong sila. Datapuwa't yumuko si Jesus, at sumulat ng kaniyang daliri sa lupa.
7 Datapuwa't nang sila'y nangagpatuloy ng pagtatanong sa kaniya, ay umunat siya, at sa kanila'y sinabi, Ang walang kasalanan sa inyo, ay siyang unang bumato sa kaniya.
8 At muli siyang yumuko, at sumulat ng kaniyang daliri sa lupa.
9 At sila, nang ito'y kanilang marinig, ay nagsialis na isa-isa, na nagpasimula sa katandatandaan, hanggang sa kahulihulihan: at iniwang magisa si Jesus at ang babae, sa kinaroroonan nito, sa gitna.
10 At umunat si Jesus, at sa kaniya'y sinabi, Babae, saan sila nangaroroon? wala bagang taong humatol sa iyo?
11 At sinabi niya, Wala sinoman, Panginoon. At sinabi ni Jesus, Ako man ay hindi rin hahatol sa iyo: humayo ka ng iyong lakad; mula ngayo'y huwag ka nang magkasala.
12 Muli ngang nagsalita sa kanila si Jesus, na sinasabi, Ako ang ilaw ng sanglibutan: ang sumusunod sa akin ay hindi lalakad sa kadiliman, kundi magkakaroon ng ilaw ng kabuhayan.
13 Sinabi nga sa kaniya ng mga Fariseo, Nagpapatotoo ka sa iyong sarili; hindi totoo ang patotoo mo.
14 Sumagot si Jesus at sa kanila'y sinabi, Bagama't ako'y nagpapatotoo sa akin din, ay totoo ang aking patotoo; sapagka't nalalaman ko kung saan ako nanggaling, at kung saan ako paroroon; datapuwa't hindi ninyo nalalaman kung saan ako nanggaling, o kung saan ako paroroon.
15 Nagsisihatol kayo ayon sa laman; ako'y hindi humahatol sa kanino mang tao.
16 Oo, at kung ako'y humahatol, ang hatol ko'y totoo; sapagka't hindi ako nagiisa, kundi ako at ang Ama na nagsugo sa akin.
17 Oo, at sa inyong kautusan ay nasusulat, na ang patotoo ng dalawang tao ay totoo.
18 Ako ang nagpapatotoo sa akin din, at ang Amang nagsugo sa akin ay nagpapatotoo sa akin.
19 Sa kaniya nga'y kanilang sinabi, Saan naroroon ang iyong Ama? Sumagot si Jesus, Hindi ninyo nakikilala ako, ni ang aking Ama: kung ako'y inyong makilala, ay makikilala rin ninyo ang aking Ama.
20 Sinalita niya ang mga salitang ito sa dakong kabang-yaman, nang nagtuturo siya sa templo: at walang taong humuli sa kaniya; sapagka't hindi pa dumarating ang kaniyang oras.
21 Muli ngang sinabi niya sa kanila, Yayaon ako, at ako'y inyong hahanapin, at mangamamatay kayo sa inyong kasalanan: sa aking paroroonan, ay hindi kayo mangakaparoroon.
22 Sinabi nga ng mga Judio, Siya kaya'y magpapakamatay, sapagka't kaniyang sinabi, Sa aking paroroonan, ay hindi kayo mangakaparoroon.
23 At sa kanila'y kaniyang sinabi, Kayo'y mga taga ibaba; ako'y taga itaas: kayo'y mga taga sanglibutang ito; ako'y hindi taga sanglibutang ito.
24 Sinabi ko nga sa inyo, na kayo'y mangamamatay sa inyong mga kasalanan: sapagka't malibang kayo'y magsisampalataya na ako nga ang Cristo, ay mangamamatay kayo sa inyong mga kasalanan.
25 Sa kaniya nga'y kanilang sinabi, Sino ka baga? Sinabi sa kanila ni Jesus, Siya rin na sinalita ko sa inyo mula pa nang una.
26 Mayroon akong maraming bagay na sasalitain at hahatulan tungkol sa inyo: gayon pa man ang nagsugo sa akin ay totoo; at ang mga bagay na sa kaniya'y aking narinig, ang mga ito ang sinasalita ko sa sanglibutan.
27 Hindi nila napagunawa na tungkol sa Ama ang kaniyang sinasalita sa kanila.
28 Sinabi nga ni Jesus, Kung maitaas na ninyo ang Anak ng tao, saka ninyo makikilala na ako nga ang Cristo, at wala akong ginagawa sa aking sarili, kundi sinalita ko ang mga bagay na ito, ayon sa itinuro sa akin ng Ama.
29 At ang nagsugo sa akin ay sumasa akin; hindi niya ako binayaang nagiisa; sapagka't ginagawa kong lagi ang mga bagay na sa kaniya'y nakalulugod.
30 Samantalang sinasalita niya ang mga bagay na ito, ay maraming nagsisampalataya sa kaniya.
31 Sinabi nga ni Jesus sa mga Judiong yaon na nagsisisampalataya sa kaniya, Kung kayo'y magsisipanatili sa aking salita, kung magkagayo'y tunay nga kayong mga alagad ko;
32 At inyong makikilala ang katotohanan, at ang katotohana'y magpapalaya sa inyo.
33 Sa kaniya'y kanilang isinagot, Kami'y binhi ni Abraham, at kailan ma'y hindi pa naging alipin ninomang tao: paanong sinasabi mo, Kayo'y magiging laya?
34 Sinagot sila ni Jesus, Katotohanan, katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo, Ang bawa't nagkakasala ay alipin ng kasalanan.
35 At ang alipin ay hindi nananahan sa bahay magpakailan man: ang anak ang nananahan magpakailan man.
36 Kung palayain nga kayo ng Anak, kayo'y magiging tunay na laya.
37 Talastas ko na kayo'y binhi ni Abraham; gayon ma'y pinagsisikapan ninyong ako'y patayin, sapagka't ang salita ko'y hindi magkasiya sa inyo.
38 Sinasalita ko ang mga bagay na aking nakita sa aking Ama: at ginagawa rin ninyo ang mga bagay na inyong narinig sa inyong Ama.
39 Sila'y nagsisagot at sa kaniya'y sinabi, Si Abraham ang aming ama. Sa kanila'y sinabi ni Jesus, Kung kayo'y mga anak ni Abraham, ay gagawin ninyo ang mga gawa ni Abraham.
40 Datapuwa't ngayo'y pinagsisikapan ninyo akong patayin, na taong sa inyo'y nagsaysay ng katotohanan, na aking narinig sa Dios: ito'y hindi ginawa ni Abraham.
41 Ginagawa ninyo ang mga gawa ng inyong ama. Sinabi nila sa kaniya, Hindi kami inianak sa pakikiapid; may isang Ama kami, ang Dios.
42 Sinabi sa kanila ni Jesus, Kung ang Dios ang inyong ama, ay inyong iibigin ako: sapagka't ako'y nagmula at nanggaling sa Dios; sapagka't hindi ako naparito sa aking sarili, kundi sinugo niya ako.
43 Bakit hindi ninyo napaguunawa ang aking pananalita? sapagka't hindi ninyo mangyayaring dinggin ang aking salita.
44 Kayo'y sa inyong amang diablo, at ang mga nais ng inyong ama ang ibig ninyong gawin. Siya'y isang mamamatay-tao buhat pa nang una, at hindi nananatili sa katotohanan, sapagka't walang katotohanan sa kaniya. Pagka nagsasalita siya ng kasinungalingan, ay nagsasalita siya ng sa ganang kaniya: sapagka't siya'y isang sinungaling, at ama nito.
45 Nguni't dahil sa sinasabi ko ang katotohanan, ay hindi ninyo ako sinasampalatayanan.
46 Sino sa inyo ang makasusumbat sa akin tungkol sa kasalanan? Kung sinasabi ko ang katotohanan, bakit hindi ninyo ako sinasampalatayanan?
47 Ang sa Dios ay nakikinig ng mga salita ng Dios: dahil dito'y hindi ninyo dinirinig, sapagka't kayo'y hindi sa Dios.
48 Nagsisagot ang mga Judio at sa kaniya'y sinabi, Hindi baga magaling ang aming pagkasabi na ikaw ay isang Samaritano, at mayroon kang demonio?
49 Sumagot si Jesus, Ako'y walang demonio; kundi pinapupurihan ko ang aking Ama, at ako'y inyong sinisiraan ng puri.
50 Nguni't hindi ko hinahanap ang aking sariling kaluwalhatian: may isang humahanap at humahatol.
51 Katotohanan, katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo, Kung ang sinoman ay tutupad ng aking salita, ay hindi siya makakakita magpakailan man ng kamatayan.
52 Sinabi ng mga Judio sa kaniya, Ngayo'y nalalaman naming mayroon kang demonio. Namatay si Abraham, at ang mga propeta; at sinasabi mo, Kung ang sinoman ay tutupad ng aking salita, ay hindi niya matitikman magpakailan man ang kamatayan.
53 Dakila ka pa baga sa aming amang Abraham, na namatay? at nangamatay ang mga propeta: sino ang ipinalalagay mo sa iyong sarili?
54 Sumagot si Jesus, Kung niluluwalhati ko ang aking sarili, ang kaluwalhatian ko ay walang anoman: ang aking Ama'y siyang lumuluwalhati sa akin; na tungkol sa kaniya'y sinasabi ninyo, na siya'y inyong Dios;
55 At hindi ninyo siya napagkilala: nguni't nakikilala ko siya; at kung aking sasabihin, na hindi ko siya nakikilala, ay ako'y matutulad sa inyo, na sinungaling: datapuwa't nakikilala ko siya, at tinutupad ko ang kaniyang salita.
56 Nagalak ang inyong amang si Abraham na makita ang aking araw; at nakita niya, at natuwa.
57 Sinabi nga sa kaniya ng mga Judio, Wala ka pang limangpung taon, at nakita mo si Abraham?
58 Sinabi sa kanila ni Jesus, Katotohanan, katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo, Bago ipinanganak si Abraham, ay ako nga.
59 Sila nga'y nagsidampot ng mga bato upang ihagis sa kaniya: datapuwa't nagtago si Jesus, at lumabas sa templo.

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.

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.

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.
