1: but 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 the Pharisees bring a woman taken in adultery; and having set her in the midst, 4: they say unto him, Teacher, this woman hath been taken in adultery, in the very act. 5: Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such: what then sayest thou of her? 6: And this they said, trying him, that they might have [whereof] to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground. 7: But when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. 8: And again he stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground. 9: And they, when they heard it, went out one by one, beginning from the eldest, [even] unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman, where she was, in the midst. 10: And Jesus lifted up himself, and said unto her, Woman, where are they? did no man condemn thee? 11: And she said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said, Neither do I condemn thee: go thy way; from henceforth sin no more. 12: Again therefore Jesus spake unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life. 13: The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest witness of thyself; thy witness is not true. 14: Jesus answered and said unto them, Even if I bear witness of myself, my witness is true; for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye know not whence I come, or whither I go. 15: Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man. 16: Yea and if I judge, my judgment is true; for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me. 17: Yea and in your law it is written, that the witness of two men is true. 18: I am he that beareth witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me. 19: They said therefore unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye know neither me, nor my Father: if ye knew me, ye would know my Father also. 20: These words spake he in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man took him; because his hour was not yet come. 21: He said therefore again unto them, I go away, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sin: whither I go, ye cannot come. 22: The Jews therefore said, Will he kill himself, that he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come? 23: And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world. 24: I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for except ye believe that I am [he], ye shall die in your sins. 25: They said therefore unto him, Who art thou? Jesus said unto them, Even that which I have also spoken unto you from the beginning. 26: I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you: howbeit he that sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these speak I unto the world. 27: They perceived not that he spake to them of the Father. 28: Jesus therefore said, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am [he], and [that] I do nothing of myself, but as the Father taught me, I speak these things. 29: And he that sent me is with me; he hath not left me alone; for I do always the things that are pleasing to him. 30: As he spake these things, many believed on him. 31: Jesus therefore said to those Jews that had believed him, If ye abide in my word, [then] are ye truly my disciples; 32: and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. 33: They answered unto him, We are Abraham's seed, and have never yet been in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? 34: Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Every one that committeth sin is the bondservant of sin. 35: And the bondservant abideth not in the house for ever: the son abideth for ever. 36: If therefore the Son shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. 37: I know that ye are Abraham's seed: yet ye seek to kill me, because my word hath not free course in you. 38: I speak the things which I have seen with [my] Father: and ye also do the things which ye heard from [your] father. 39: They answered and said unto him, Our father is Abraham. Jesus saith unto them, If ye 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 heard from God: this did not Abraham. 41: Ye do the works of your father. They said unto him, We were not born of fornication; we have one Father, [even] God. 42: Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I came forth and am come from God; for neither have I come of myself, but he sent me. 43: Why do ye not understand my speech? [Even] because ye cannot hear my word. 44: Ye are of [your] father the devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and standeth not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof. 45: But because I say the truth, ye believe me not. 46: Which of you convicteth me of sin? If I say truth, why do ye not believe me? 47: He that is of God heareth the words of God: for this cause ye hear [them] not, because ye are not of God. 48: The Jews answered and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon? 49: Jesus answered, I have not a demon; but I honor my Father, and ye dishonor me. 50: But I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth. 51: Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my word, he shall never see death. 52: The Jews said unto him, Now we know that thou hast a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my word, he shall never taste of death. 53: Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who died? and the prophets died: whom makest thou thyself? 54: Jesus answered, If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing: it is my Father that glorifieth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God; 55: and ye have not known him: but I know him; and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be like unto you, a liar: but I know him, and keep his word. 56: Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day; and he saw it, and was glad. 57: The Jews therefore said unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? 58: Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was born, I am. 59: They took up stones therefore to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple.
