The Adulterous Woman

1

But Jesusg2424 wentg4198 to  athe Mountg3735 of Olivesg1636.

2

Earlyg3722 in the morningg3722 He cameg3854 againg3825 into the templeg2413, and allg3956 the peopleg2992 were comingg2064 to Him; and  aHe satg2523 downg2523 and began to teachg1321 them.

3

The scribesg1122 and the Phariseesg5330 *broughtg71 a womang1135 caughtg2638 in adulteryg3430, and having setg2476 her in the centerg3319 of the court,

4

they *saidg3004 to Him, "Teacherg1320, thisg3778 womang1135 has been caughtg2638 in adulteryg3431, in the veryg849a actg849a.

5

"Nowg1161 in the Lawg3551  aMosesg3475 commandedg1781 us to stoneg3034 suchg5108 womeng5108; whatg5101 theng3767 do You sayg3004?"

6

They were sayingg3004 thisg3778,  atestingg3985 Him,  bsog2443 that they might haveg2192 grounds for accusingg2723 Him. But Jesusg2424 stoopedg2955 downg2736 and with His fingerg1147 wroteg2608b on the groundg1093.

7

But wheng5613 they persistedg1961 in askingg2065 Him,  aHe straightenedg352b up, and saidg3004 to them, bHe who is withoutg361 sing361 among you, let him be the  cfirstg4413 to throwg906 a stoneg3037 at her."

8

Againg3825 He stoopedg2634a downg2634a and wroteg1125 on the groundg1093.

9

When they heardg191 it, they began to gog1831 out oneg1520 by oneg1520, beginningg757 with the olderg4245 onesg4245, and He was leftg2641 aloneg3441, and the womang1135, where she was, in the centerg3319 of the court.

10

 aStraighteningg352b up, Jesusg2424 saidg3004 to her, "Womang1135, whereg4226 are they? Did nog3762 oneg3762 condemng2632 you?"

11

She saidg3004, "Nog3762 oneg3762,  1Lordg2962." And Jesusg2424 saidg3004, aI do not condemng2632 you, eitherg3761. Gog4198. From nowg3568 on  bsing264 nog3371 moreg3371."]

Jesus Is the Light of the World

12

Theng3767 Jesusg2424 againg3825 spokeg2980 to them, sayingg3004, aI amg1510 the Lightg5457 of the worldg2889;  bhe who followsg190 Me will not walkg4043 in the darknessg4653, but will haveg2192 the Lightg5457 of lifeg2222."

13

Sog3767 the Phariseesg5330 saidg3004 to Him, " aYou are testifyingg3140 aboutg4012 Yourselfg4572; Your testimonyg3141 is not  1trueg227."

14

Jesusg2424 answeredg611 and saidg3004 to them, aEveng2579 ifg2579 I testifyg3140 aboutg4012 Myselfg1683, My testimonyg3140 is  1trueg227, for I knowg3609a  bwhereg4159 I cameg2064 from and whereg4226 I am goingg5217; but  cyou do not knowg3609a whereg4159 I comeg2064 from org2228 whereg4226 I am goingg5217.

15

aYou judgeg2919  1accordingg2596 to the fleshg4561;  bI am not judgingg2919 anyoneg3762.

16

"But eveng2532  aifg1437 I do judgeg2919, My judgmentg2920 is trueg228; for I amg1510 not aloneg3441 in it, but I and the Father who sentg3992 Me.

17

"Eveng2532 in  ayour lawg3551 it has been writteng1125 that the testimonyg3141 of  btwog1417 meng444 is  1trueg227.

18

"I amg1510 He who testifiesg3140 aboutg4012 Myselfg1683, and  athe Fatherg3962 who sentg3992 Me testifiesg3140 aboutg4012 Me."

19

Sog3767 they were sayingg3004 to Him, "Whereg4226 is Your Fatherg3962?" Jesusg2424 answeredg611, "You knowg3609a neitherg3777 Me norg3777 My Fatherg3962;  aifg1487 you knewg3609a Me, you would knowg3609a My Fatherg3962 alsog2532."

20

Theseg3778 wordsg4487 He spokeg2980 in  athe treasuryg1049, as  bHe taughtg1321 in the templeg2413; and nog3762 oneg3762 seizedg4084 Him, becauseg3754  cHis hourg5610 had not yetg3768 comeg2064.

21

Theng3767 He saidg3004 againg3825 to them, "I gog5217 awayg5217, and  ayou will seekg2212 Me, and  bwill dieg599 in your sing266; whereg3699 I am goingg5217, you cannotg1410g3756 comeg2064."

22

Sog3767  athe Jewsg2453 were sayingg3004, "Surelyg3385 He will not killg615 Himselfg1438, will He, sinceg3754 He saysg3004, bWhereg3699 I am goingg5217, you cannotg1410g3756 comeg2064'?"

23

And He was sayingg3004 to them, aYou are from belowg2736, I amg1510 from aboveg507;  byou are of thisg3778 worldg2889,  cI amg1510 not of thisg3778 worldg2889.

24

"Thereforeg3767 I saidg3004 to you that you  awill dieg599 in your sinsg266; for unlessg1437g3361 you believeg4100 that  1 bI amg1510 He,  ayou will dieg599 in your sinsg266."

25

Sog3767 they were sayingg3004 to Him, "Whog5101 are You?" Jesusg2424 saidg3004 to them, 1Whatg3739g5101 have I been sayingg2980 to you from the beginningg746?

26

"I haveg2192 manyg4183 thingsg4183 to speakg2980 and to judgeg2919 concerningg4012 you, but  aHe who sentg3992 Me is trueg227; and  bthe things whichg3739 I heardg191 from Him, theseg3778 I speakg2980 to the worldg2889."

27

They did not realizeg1097 that He had been speakingg3004 to them about the Fatherg3962.

28

Sog3767 Jesusg2424 saidg3004, "Wheng3752 you  aliftg5312 up the Song5207 of Mang444, theng5119 you will knowg1097 that  1 bI amg1510 He, and  cI dog4160 nothingg3762 on My owng1683 initiativeg1683, but I speakg2980 theseg3778 thingsg3778 as the Fatherg3962 taughtg1321 Me.

29

"And He who sentg3992 Me is with Me;  aHe  1has not leftg863 Me aloneg3441, for  bI alwaysg3842 dog4160 the thingsg701 that are pleasingg701 to Him."

30

As He spokeg2980 theseg3778 thingsg3778,  amanyg4183 came to believeg4100 in Him.

The Truth Will Make You Free

31

Sog3767 Jesusg2424 was sayingg3004 to thoseg3588 Jewsg2453 who had believedg4100 Him, aIfg1437 you continueg3306 in My wordg3056, then you are trulyg230  bdisciplesg3101 of Mineg1473;

32

and  ayou will knowg1097 the truthg225, and  bthe truthg225 will makeg1659 you freeg1659."

33

They answeredg611 Him, " aWe are Abraham'sg11 descendantsg4690 and have neverg3762g4455 yetg4455 been enslavedg1398 to anyoneg3762; howg4459 is it that You sayg3004, `You will becomeg1096 freeg1658'?"

34

Jesusg2424 answeredg611 them, "Trulyg281, trulyg281, I sayg3004 to you,  aeveryoneg3956 who commitsg4160 sing266 is the slaveg1401 of sing266.

35

aThe slaveg1401 does not remaing3306 in the houseg3614 foreverg165;  bthe song5207 does remaing3306 foreverg165.

36

"Sog3767 ifg1437 the Song5207  amakesg1659 you freeg1659, you will be freeg1658 indeedg3689.

37

"I knowg3609a that you are  aAbraham'sg11 descendantsg4690; yetg235  byou seekg2212 to killg615 Me, becauseg3754 My wordg3056  1hasg5562 nog3756 placeg5562 in you.

38

"I speakg2980 the things whichg3739 I have seeng3708  1with My Fatherg3962; thereforeg3767 you alsog2532 dog4160 the things whichg3739 you heardg191 from  ayour fatherg3962."

39

They answeredg611 and saidg3004 to Him, "Abrahamg11 is  aour fatherg3962." Jesusg2424 *saidg3004 to them, bIfg1487 you are Abraham'sg11 childreng5043, dog4160 the deedsg2041 of Abrahamg11.

40

"But as it is,  ayou are seekingg2212 to killg615 Me, a mang444 whog3739 has  btoldg2980 you the truthg225, whichg3739 I heardg191 from Godg2316; thisg3778 Abrahamg11 did not dog4160.

41

"You are doingg4160 the deedsg2041 of  ayour fatherg3962." They saidg3004 to Him, "We were not borng1080 of fornicationg4202;  bwe haveg2192 oneg1520 Fatherg3962: Godg2316."

42

Jesusg2424 saidg3004 to them, "Ifg1487 Godg2316 were your Fatherg3962,  ayou would loveg25 Me,  bfor I proceededg1831 forthg1831 and haveg2240 comeg2240 from Godg2316, for I have  cnot eveng3761 comeg2064 on My owng1683 initiativeg1683, but  1 dHe sentg649 Me.

43

"Whyg1223g5101 do you not understandg1097  1 awhatg2981 I am sayingg2981? It is becauseg3754 you cannotg1410g3756  bhearg191 My wordg3056.

44

aYou are of  byour fatherg3962 the devilg1228, and  cyou wantg2309 to dog4160 the desiresg1939 of your fatherg3962.  dHe was a murdererg443 from the beginningg746, and does not standg4739 in the truthg225 becauseg3754  ethere is nog3756 truthg225 in him. Wheneverg3752 he speaksg2980  1a lieg5579, he  fspeaksg2980 from his owng2398 nature, for he is a liarg5583 and the fatherg3962 of  2liesg846.

45

"But becauseg3754  aI speakg3004 the truthg225, you do not believeg4100 Me.

46

"Whichg5101 oneg5101 of you convictsg1651 Me of sing266? Ifg1487  aI speakg3004 truthg225, whyg1223g5101 do you not believeg4100 Me?

47

aHe who is of Godg2316 hearsg191 the wordsg4487 of Godg2316; for thisg3778 reasong1223 you do not hearg191 them, becauseg3754 you are not of Godg2316."

48

 aThe Jewsg2453 answeredg611 and saidg3004 to Him, "Do we not sayg3004 rightlyg2573 that You are a  bSamaritang4541 and  chaveg2192 a demong1140?"

49

Jesusg2424 answeredg611, "I do not  ahaveg2192 a demong1140; but I honorg5091 My Fatherg3962, and you dishonorg818 Me.

50

"But  aI do not seekg2212 My gloryg1391; there is One who seeksg2212 and judgesg2919.

51

"Trulyg281, trulyg281, I sayg3004 to you, ifg1437 anyoneg5100  akeepsg5083 My wordg3056 he will neverg3756g3361  bseeg2334 deathg2288."

52

 aThe Jewsg2453 saidg3004 to Him, "Nowg3568 we knowg1097 that You  bhaveg2192 a demong1140. Abrahamg11 diedg599, and the prophetsg4396 also; and You sayg3004, `Ifg1437 anyoneg5100  ckeepsg5083 My wordg3056, he will neverg3756g3361  dtasteg1089 of deathg2288.'

53

"Surelyg3361 You  aare not greaterg3173 than our fatherg3962 Abrahamg11, whog3748 diedg599? The prophetsg4396 diedg599 toog2532; whomg5101 do You makeg4160 Yourselfg4572 out to be?"

54

Jesusg2424 answeredg611, aIfg1437 I glorifyg1392 Myselfg1683, My gloryg1391 is nothingg3762;  bit is My Fatherg3962 who glorifiesg1392 Me, of whomg3739 you sayg3004, `He is our Godg2316';

55

and  ayou have not come to knowg1097 Him,  bbut I knowg3609a Him; and ifg2579 I sayg3004 that I do not knowg3609a Him, I will be  ca liarg5583 likeg3664 you,  bbut I do knowg3609a Him and  dkeepg5083 His wordg3056.

56

aYour fatherg3962 Abrahamg11  brejoicedg21  1to seeg3708 My dayg2250, and he sawg3708 it and was gladg5463."

57

 aSog3767 the Jewsg2453 saidg3004 to Him, "You are not yetg3768 fiftyg4004 yearsg2094 old, and have You seeng3708 Abrahamg11?"

58

Jesusg2424 saidg3004 to them, "Trulyg281, trulyg281, I sayg3004 to you, beforeg4250 Abrahamg11  1was borng1096,  aI amg1510."

59

Thereforeg3767 they  apickedg142 up stonesg3037 to throwg906 at Him, but Jesusg2424  1 bhidg2928 Himself and wentg1831 out of the templeg2413.
