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.

8 ¶ Jezi menm ale mòn Oliv.
2 Nan denmen maten, byen bonè, li tounen nan tanp lan. Tout foul moun yo pwoche bò kote li. Li chita, li pran moutre yo anpil bagay.
3 Dirèktè lalwa yo ak farizyen yo mennen yon fanm ba li. Yo te bare fanm lan nan adiltè. Yo mete l' kanpe devan tout foul moun yo,
4 epi yo di Jezi konsa: Mèt, yo kenbe fanm sa a nan men ap fè adiltè.
5 Moyiz te bay lòd nan lalwa a pou yo touye yo lè konsa ak kout wòch. Men, ou menm, kisa ou di nan sa?
6 Yo t'ap di sa, paske yo te vle pran l' nan pèlen pou yo te ka akize li. Men, Jezi bese atè. Epi, avèk dwèt li, li kòmanse ekri atè a.
7 Men, moun yo t'ap kouvri l' ak keksyon. Jezi leve atè a, li di yo: Se pou moun ki konnen li pa janm peche a ba l' premye kout wòch la.
8 Apre sa, li bese atè a yon dezyèm fwa, li pran ekri ankò.
9 Lè yo tande pawòl sa yo, yonn apre lòt y' al fè wout yo. Premye moun ki te mete deyò se te sak te pi granmoun yo. Jezi rete pou kont li ak fanm lan ki te kanpe devan l'.
10 Lè sa a, li leve, li di fanm lan: Madanm, kote moun yo? Pesonn pa kondannen ou?
11 Li reponn: Pesonn non, Mèt. Jezi di li: Mwen menm tou, mwen pa kondannen ou. Ou mèt ale. Men, pa janm fè peche ankò.
12 ¶ Jezi pale ankò ak foul moun yo, li di: Se mwen menm ki limyè k'ap klere tout moun ki sou latè. Moun ki swiv mwen va gen limyè ki bay lavi a. Yo p'ap janm mache nan fènwa.
13 Farizyen yo di li: Apa w'ap pale tèt pa ou byen? Sa w'ap di la a pa gen valè.
14 Jezi reponn yo: Menm si mwen t'ap pale tèt mwen byen, sa m'ap di a se verite, paske mwen konnen ki bò m' soti, mwen konnen ki bò m' prale. Men, nou menm, nou pa konnen ni ki bò m' soti, ni ki bò m' prale.
15 Nou menm, n'ap jije tankou lèzòm jije. Men, mwen menm mwen pa jije pesonn.
16 Mentou, si yon lè mwen gen pou m' jije, m'ap jije byen dapre verite a, paske mwen p'ap jije pou kont mwen. Papa ki voye m' lan ap la avèk mwen.
17 Nou jwenn sa ekri nan Lalwa nou an tou: Lè de temwen fè menm depozisyon an, sa yo di a vre.
18 Mwen sèvi temwen pou tèt pa m'; Papa a ki voye m' lan sèvi m' temwen tou.
19 Yo mande li: Kote papa ou? Jezi reponn yo: Nou pa konnen mwen, nou pa konn Papa mwen. Si nou te konnen m', nou ta konnen Papa m' tou.
20 Jezi te nan tanp lan, kote yo mete bwat pou fè ofrann yo. Se la li t'ap di yo tout pawòl sa yo, li t'ap moutre moun yo anpil lòt bagay ankò. Men, pesonn pa t' mete men sou li, paske lè l' pa t' ankò rive.
21 ¶ Jezi di yo ankò: Mwen pral fè wout mwen. N'a chache m', men n'a mouri nan peche nou yo. Nou pa ka ale kote m' prale a.
22 Jwif yo yonn di lòt: Gen lè li pral touye tèt li? Tande sa l'ap di: Nou pa ka ale kote l' prale a.
23 Jezi reponn yo: Nou soti anba, mwen menm mwen soti anwo. Nou se moun tè sa a, mwen menm mwen pa moun tè sa a.
24 Se poutèt sa mwen di nou, n'ap mouri nan peche nou. Wi, nou gen pou n' mouri nan peche nou si nou pa kwè mwen se moun mwen ye a.
25 Yo mande li: Ki moun ou ye? Jezi reponn yo: Sa m' te di nou depi nan konmansman an.
26 Mwen gen anpil bagay pou m' di sou nou, anpil bagay menm pou m' jije nan nou. Men, moun ki voye m' lan, se verite ase li di. Se sèlman sa m' pran nan bouch li m'ap anonse bay lèzòm ki sou latè.
27 Yo pa t' konprann se sou Papa a li t'ap pale yo.
28 Jezi di yo ankò: Lè n'a leve Moun Bondye voye nan lachè a byen wo, n'a konnen se mwen menmm ki li menm. Lè sa a, n'a konnen mwen pa fè anyen pou kont mwen. Se sèlman sa Papa a moutre m' mwen di.
29 Moun ki voye m' lan la avèk mwen. Li pa kite m' pou kont mwen paske mwen toujou fè sak fè l' plezi.
30 Anpil moun ki te tande Jezi pale konsa te kwè nan li.
31 ¶ Jezi di jwif ki te kwè nan li yo: Si nou kenbe pawòl mwen yo nan kè nou, nou se disip mwen vre.
32 N'a konnen verite a, lè sa a verite a va ban nou libète nou.
33 Yo di li: Nou se pitit pitit Abraram. Nou pa janm esklav pesonn. Ki jan ou ka fè di nou: N'a gen libète nou?
34 Jezi reponn yo: Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: Tout moun ki fè peche, se esklav peche yo ye.
35 Yon esklav pa fè pati moun kay la pou tout tan. Men, yon pitit fè pati moun kay la pou tout tan.
36 Si Pitit Bondye a ban nou libète, n'a lib tout bon.
37 Wi, mwen konnen se pitit pitit Abraram nou ye vre. Men, n'ap chache touye m' paske nou pa asepte sa m'ap moutre nou.
38 ¶ M'ap di nou sa Papa m' moutre mwen. Men nou menm, n'ap fè sa papa pa nou di nou fè.
39 Yo reponn li: Men, papa nou se Abraram. Jezi di yo: Si nou te pitit Abraram tout bon, nou ta fè sa li menm li te fè.
40 Gade koulye a, m'ap di nou verite a jan Bondye te moutre m' li, atousa n'ap chache touye mwen. Abraram pa janm fè bagay konsa.
41 Men nou menm, n'ap fè sa papa nou ap fè. Yo reponn li: Nou pa pitit deyò non. Nou gen yon sèl papa, se Bondye.
42 Jezi di yo: Si Bondye te papa nou vre, nou ta renmen mwen. Paske, mwen soti bò kot Bondye. Se li menm ki voye m' isit la. Mwen pa vini pou kont mwen. Se li menm menm ki voye mwen.
43 Poukisa nou pa konprann sa m'ap di nou la a? Paske nou pa kapab tande pawòl mwen yo.
44 Se Satan ki papa nou. Se sak fè nou vle fè sa papa nou vle. Depi nan konmansman se sa ase l'ap fè: touye moun. Li pa janm pran pozisyon pou verite a paske pa gen verite menm nan li. Depi l' louvri bouch li, se manti l'ap bay paske sè mantò li ye. Se papa nan bay manti li ye.
45 Men mwen menm, mwen pale verite a. Se poutèt sa nou pa vle kwè mwen.
46 ¶ Kilès nan nou ki ka bay prèv mwen fè peche? Si sa m' di a se vre, poukisa nou pa kwè mwen?
47 Tout moun ki moun Bondye, yo koute pawòl Bondye. Men nou menm, nou pa moun Bondye. Se sak fè nou pa vle koute.
48 Jwif yo reponn li: Nou te gen rezon lè n' t'ap di se moun Samari ou ye. Ou gen yon move lespri sou ou.
49 Jezi di yo: Mwen pa gen okenn move lespri sou mwen. M'ap fè respe Papa mwen. Men nou menm, se derespekte n'ap derespekte mwen.
50 Mwen p'ap chache lwanj pou tèt pa mwen. Gen yon moun k'ap chache l' pou mwen. Se li menm tou k'ap jije nou.
51 ¶ Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: moun ki fè tou sa mwen di l' fè, li p'ap janm mouri.
52 Jwif yo di li: Koulye a, nou sèten ou gen yon move lespri sou ou. Abraram mouri. Pwofèt yo mouri tou. Epi ou menm, w'ap di: O wi, moun ki fè tou sa m' di l' fè, li p'ap janm mouri.
53 Abraram ki Abraram zansèt nou, li mouri. Koulye a, ou prèt pou di nou ou pi gran pase li? Pwofèt ki pwofèt yo mouri. Sa ou konprann ou ye menm?
54 Jezi reponn yo: Si m' t'ap fè lwanj tèt mwen, lwanj sa a pa ta vo anyen. Moun k'ap fè lwanj mwen se Papa m', moun nou pretann di ki Bondye nou an.
55 Nou pa konnen li. Men mwen menm, mwen konnen li. Si pou m' ta di mwen pa konnen li, mwen ta bay manti tankou nou. Men, mwen konnen l' epi m'ap fè tou sa li di m' fè.
56 Abraram papa nou te kontan, paske li te anvi wè jou m' lan rive. Li wè li. Sa te fè kè l' kontan nèt.
57 Jwif yo di li: Ou poko gen senkantan, epi w'ap di ou te wè Abraram?
58 Jezi reponn yo: Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: Abraram pa t' ankò fèt, mwen menm, mwen te la deja.
59 Lè sa a, yo ranmase wòch pou kalonnen li. Men, Jezi kache kò l' yon kote epi li soti nan tanp lan.
