Chapter 8
The Woman Caught in Adultery
1
But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
δὲ Ἰησοῦς ἐπορεύθη εἰς τὸ ὄρος τῶν ἐλαιῶν de Iēsous eporeuthē eis to oros tōn elaiōn — NA/TR · 1
2
Early in the morning vvv He went [back] into the temple [courts]. All the people came to Him, and He sat down to teach them.
Ὄρθρου δὲ πάλιν παρεγένετο εἰς τὸ ἱερόν καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἤρχετο πρὸς αὐτόν καὶ καθίσας ἐδίδασκεν αὐτούς Orthrou de palin paregeneto eis to hieron kai pas ho laos ērcheto pros auton kai kathisas edidasken autous — NA/TR · 2
3
The scribes and Pharisees, however, brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand… before them…
οἱ γραμματεῖς καὶ οἱ Φαρισαῖοι δὲ ἄγουσιν πρὸς αὐτὸν γυναῖκα κατειλημμένην ἐπὶ μοιχείᾳ καὶ στήσαντες αὐτὴν ἐν μέσῳ hoi grammateis kai hoi Pharisaioi de agousin pros auton gynaika kateilēmmenēn epi moicheia kai stēsantes autēn en mesō — NA/TR · 3
4
[and] said -, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery.
λέγουσιν αὐτῷ Διδάσκαλε αὕτη ἡ γυνὴ κατείληπται ἐπ’ αυτοφώρῳ μοιχευομένη legousin autō Didaskale hautē hē gynē kateilēptai ep’ autophōrō moicheuomenē — NA/TR · 4
5
- In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such [a woman]. So what vvv do You say?
δὲ ἐν τῷ νόμῳ Μωϋσῆς ἐνετείλατο ἡμῖν τὰς λιθάζειν τοιαύτας οὖν τί σὺ λέγεις de en tō nomō Mōusēs eneteilato hēmin tas lithazein toiautas oun ti sy legeis — NA/TR · 5
6
- They said this to test Him, in order to have [a basis] for accusing Him. But Jesus bent down [and] began to write on the ground with [His] finger.
δὲ ἔλεγον Τοῦτο πειράζοντες αὐτόν ἵνα ἔχωσιν κατηγορεῖν αὐτοῦ δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς κύψας κάτω κατέγραφεν εἰς τὴν γῆν τῷ δακτύλῳ de elegon Touto peirazontes auton hina echōsin katēgorein autou de ho Iēsous kypsas katō kategraphen eis tēn gēn tō daktylō — NA/TR · 6
7
- When they continued to question Him, He straightened up and said to them, “[Let] him who is without sin among you [be] the first to cast a stone at her.
δὲ Ὡς ἐπέμενον ἐρωτῶντες αὐτόν ἀνέκυψεν καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Ὁ ἀναμάρτητος ὑμῶν τὸν πρῶτος βαλέτω λίθον ἐπ’ αὐτῇ de Hōs epemenon erōtōntes auton anekypsen kai eipen autois Ho anamartētos hymōn ton prōtos baletō lithon ep’ autē — NA/TR · 7
8
And again He bent down [and] wrote on the ground.
καὶ πάλιν κάτω¦κύψας ἔγραφεν εἰς τὴν γῆν kai palin katō¦kypsas egraphen eis tēn gēn — NA/TR · 8
9
- When they heard this, they began to go away one by one, beginning with the older ones, until… - only Jesus was left, with the woman standing [there].
δὲ Οἱ ἀκούσαντες ἐξήρχοντο εἷς καθ‿ εἷς ἀρξάμενοι ἀπὸ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων ἕως τῶν ἐσχάτων καὶ ὁ μόνος Ἰησοῦς κατελείφθη καὶ ἡ γυνὴ οὖσα ἐν μέσῳ de Hoi akousantes exērchonto heis kath heis arxamenoi apo tōn presbyterōn heōs tōn eschatōn kai ho monos Iēsous kateleiphthē kai hē gynē ousa en mesō — NA/TR · 9
10
Then Jesus straightened up [and] asked her, “Woman, where are your vvv vvv accusers? {Has} no one condemned you?
δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἀνακύψας εἶπεν αὐτῇ Ἡ Γύναι ποῦ εἰσιν σου ἐκεῖνοι οἱ κατήγοροί οὐδείς κατέκρινεν σε de ho Iēsous anakypsas eipen autē HĒ Gynai pou eisin sou ekeinoi hoi katēgoroi oudeis katekrinen se — NA/TR · 10
11
“No one, Lord, - she answered. “Then neither do I condemn you, - Jesus declared. “Now… go and sin no more.
Οὐδείς κύριε δὲ Ἡ εἶπεν Οὐδὲ ἐγώ κατακρίνω σε δὲ αὐτῇ ὁ Ἰησοῦς Εἶπεν ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν πορεύου καὶ ἁμάρτανε μηκέτι Oudeis kyrie de Hē eipen Oude egō katakrinō se de autē ho Iēsous Eipen apo tou nyn poreuou kai hamartane mēketi — NA/TR · 11
Jesus the Light of the World
12
Once again…, Jesus spoke to [the people] [and] said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me vvv vvv will never walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.
Πάλιν οὖν ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐλάλησεν αὐτοῖς λέγων Ἐγώ εἰμι τὸ φῶς τοῦ κόσμου ὁ ἀκολουθῶν ἐμοὶ οὐ μὴ περιπατήσῃ ἐν τῇ σκοτίᾳ ἀλλ’ ἕξει τὸ φῶς τῆς ζωῆς Palin oun ho Iēsous elalēsen autois legōn Egō eimi to phōs tou kosmou ho akolouthōn emoi ou mē peripatēsē en tē skotia all’ hexei to phōs tēs zōēs — NA/TR · 12
13
So the Pharisees said to Him, “You are testifying about Yourself; Your testimony is not valid.
οὖν οἱ Φαρισαῖοι Εἶπον αὐτῷ Σὺ μαρτυρεῖς περὶ σεαυτοῦ σου ἡ μαρτυρία ἔστιν οὐκ ἀληθής oun hoi Pharisaioi Eipon autō Sy martyreis peri seautou sou hē martyria estin ouk alēthēs — NA/TR · 13
14
Jesus replied…, “Even if I testify about Myself, My testimony is valid, because I know where I came {from} and where I am going. But you {do} not know where I came {from} or where I am going.
Ἰησοῦς Ἀπεκρίθη καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Κἂν ἐγὼ μαρτυρῶ περὶ ἐμαυτοῦ μου ἡ μαρτυρία ἐστιν ἀληθής ὅτι οἶδα πόθεν ἦλθον καὶ ποῦ ὑπάγω δὲ ὑμεῖς οὐκ οἴδατε πόθεν ἔρχομαι ἢ ποῦ ὑπάγω Iēsous Apekrithē kai eipen autois Kan egō martyrō peri emautou mou hē martyria estin alēthēs hoti oida pothen ēlthon kai pou hypagō de hymeis ouk oidate pothen erchomai ē pou hypagō — NA/TR · 14
15
You judge according to the flesh; I judge vvv no one.
Ὑμεῖς κρίνετε κατὰ τὴν σάρκα ἐγὼ κρίνω οὐ οὐδένα Hymeis krinete kata tēn sarka egō krinō ou oudena — NA/TR · 15
16
But even if I do judge, My judgment is true, because I am not alone; I [am with] the Father [who] sent Me.
δὲ καὶ ἐὰν ἐγώ κρίνω ἐμὴ ἡ κρίσις ἐστιν ἡ ἀληθινή ὅτι εἰμί οὐκ μόνος ἀλλ’ ἐγὼ καὶ ὁ πατήρ πέμψας με de kai ean egō krinō emē hē krisis estin hē alēthinē hoti eimi ouk monos all’ egō kai ho patēr pempsas me — NA/TR · 16
17
- Even in your [own] Law it is written that the testimony of two men is valid.
δὲ Καὶ ἐν τῷ ὑμετέρῳ τῷ νόμῳ γέγραπται ὅτι ἡ μαρτυρία δύο ἀνθρώπων ἐστιν ἀληθής de Kai en tō hymeterō tō nomō gegraptai hoti hē martyria dyo anthrōpōn estin alēthēs — NA/TR · 17
18
I am [One] who testifies about Myself, and the Father, [who] sent Me, [also] testifies about Me.
ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ μαρτυρῶν περὶ ἐμαυτοῦ καὶ ὁ Πατήρ πέμψας με μαρτυρεῖ περὶ ἐμοῦ egō eimi ho martyrōn peri emautou kai ho Patēr pempsas me martyrei peri emou — NA/TR · 18
19
“Where is Your Father? they asked Him. “You do not know… Me [or] My Father, Jesus answered. “If you knew Me, vvv you would know My Father as well.
Ποῦ ἐστιν σου ὁ Πατήρ οὖν Ἔλεγον αὐτῷ οἴδατε Οὔτε ἐμὲ οὔτε μου τὸν Πατέρα Ἰησοῦς Ἀπεκρίθη εἰ ᾔδειτε ἐμὲ ἂν ᾔδειτε μου τὸν Πατέρα καὶ Pou estin sou ho Patēr oun Elegon autō oidate Oute eme oute mou ton Patera Iēsous Apekrithē ei ēdeite eme an ēdeite mou ton Patera kai — NA/TR · 19
20
He spoke these words while teaching in the temple [courts], near the treasury. Yet no one seized Him, because His hour {had} not yet come.
ἐλάλησεν Ταῦτα τὰ ῥήματα διδάσκων ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ ἐν τῷ γαζοφυλακίῳ καὶ οὐδεὶς ἐπίασεν αὐτόν ὅτι αὐτοῦ ἡ ὥρα οὔπω ἐληλύθει elalēsen Tauta ta rhēmata didaskōn en tō hierō en tō gazophylakiō kai oudeis epiasen auton hoti autou hē hōra oupō elēlythei — NA/TR · 20
21
- Again He said to them, “I am going away, and you will look for Me, [but] you will die in your sin. Where I am going, you vvv cannot come.
οὖν πάλιν Εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Ἐγὼ ὑπάγω καὶ ζητήσετέ με καὶ ἀποθανεῖσθε ἐν ὑμῶν τῇ ἁμαρτίᾳ ὅπου ἐγὼ ὑπάγω ὑμεῖς οὐ δύνασθε ἐλθεῖν oun palin Eipen autois Egō hypagō kai zētēsete me kai apothaneisthe en hymōn tē hamartia hopou egō hypagō hymeis ou dynasthe elthein — NA/TR · 21
22
So the Jews began to ask, vvv “Will He kill Himself, since He says, ‘Where I am going, you vvv cannot come’?
οὖν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι Ἔλεγον Μήτι ἀποκτενεῖ ἑαυτὸν ὅτι λέγει Ὅπου ἐγὼ ὑπάγω ὑμεῖς οὐ δύνασθε ἐλθεῖν oun hoi Ioudaioi Elegon Mēti apoktenei heauton hoti legei Hopou egō hypagō hymeis ou dynasthe elthein — NA/TR · 22
23
Then He told them, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.
Καὶ ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς Ὑμεῖς ἐστέ ἐκ τῶν κάτω ἐγὼ εἰμί ἐκ τῶν ἄνω ὑμεῖς ἐστέ ἐκ τούτου τοῦ κόσμου ἐγὼ εἰμὶ οὐκ ἐκ τούτου τοῦ κόσμου Kai elegen autois Hymeis este ek tōn katō egō eimi ek tōn anō hymeis este ek toutou tou kosmou egō eimi ouk ek toutou tou kosmou — NA/TR · 23
24
That is why I told you that you would die in your sins. For unless… you believe that I am [He], you will die in your sins.
οὖν εἶπον ὑμῖν ὅτι ἀποθανεῖσθε ἐν ὑμῶν ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις γὰρ ἐὰν μὴ πιστεύσητε ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι ἀποθανεῖσθε ἐν ὑμῶν ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις oun eipon hymin hoti apothaneisthe en hymōn tais hamartiais gar ean mē pisteusēte hoti egō eimi apothaneisthe en hymōn tais hamartiais — NA/TR · 24
25
“Who are You? they asked -. “Just what I have been telling you from the beginning, Jesus replied…
τίς εἶ Σὺ οὖν Ἔλεγον αὐτῷ καὶ ὅ¦τι λαλῶ ὑμῖν Τὴν ἀρχὴν ὁ Ἰησοῦς Εἶπεν αὐτοῖς tis ei Sy oun Elegon autō kai ho¦ti lalō hymin Tēn archēn ho Iēsous Eipen autois — NA/TR · 25
26
“I have much to say about you and [much] to judge. But the [One who] sent Me is truthful, and what I have heard from Him, I tell… the world.
ἔχω πολλὰ λαλεῖν περὶ ὑμῶν καὶ κρίνειν ἀλλ’ ὁ πέμψας με ἐστιν ἀληθής κἀγὼ ἃ ἤκουσα παρ’ αὐτοῦ ταῦτα λαλῶ εἰς τὸν κόσμον echō polla lalein peri hymōn kai krinein all’ ho pempsas me estin alēthēs kagō ha ēkousa par’ autou tauta lalō eis ton kosmon — NA/TR · 26
27
vvv They did not understand that He was telling them [about] the Father.
Οὐκ ἔγνωσαν ὅτι ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς τὸν Πατέρα Ouk egnōsan hoti elegen autois ton Patera — NA/TR · 27
28
So Jesus said -, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am [He], and [that] I do nothing on My own, but speak exactly what the Father has taught Me.
οὖν ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Ὅταν ὑψώσητε τὸν Υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου τότε γνώσεσθε ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι καὶ ποιῶ οὐδέν ἀπ’ ἐμαυτοῦ ἀλλὰ λαλῶ καθὼς ταῦτα ὁ Πατὴρ ἐδίδαξέν με oun ho Iēsous eipen autois Hotan hypsōsēte ton Huion tou anthrōpou tote gnōsesthe hoti egō eimi kai poiō ouden ap’ emautou alla lalō kathōs tauta ho Patēr edidaxen me — NA/TR · 28
29
- He who sent Me is with Me. vvv He has not left Me alone, because I always do what pleases Him.
καὶ ὁ πέμψας με ἐστιν μετ’ ἐμοῦ οὐκ ἀφῆκέν με μόνον ὅτι ἐγὼ πάντοτε ποιῶ τὰ ἀρεστὰ αὐτῷ kai ho pempsas me estin met’ emou ouk aphēken me monon hoti egō pantote poiō ta aresta autō — NA/TR · 29
The Truth Will Set You Free
30
As [Jesus] spoke these things, many believed in Him.
αὐτοῦ λαλοῦντος Ταῦτα πολλοὶ ἐπίστευσαν εἰς αὐτόν autou lalountos Tauta polloi episteusan eis auton — NA/TR · 30
31
So [He] said to the Jews [who] had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, you are truly My disciples.
οὖν ὁ Ἰησοῦς Ἔλεγεν πρὸς τοὺς Ἰουδαίους πεπιστευκότας αὐτῷ Ἐὰν ὑμεῖς μείνητε ἐν τῷ ἐμῷ τῷ λόγῳ ἐστε ἀληθῶς μού μαθηταί oun ho Iēsous Elegen pros tous Ioudaious pepisteukotas autō Ean hymeis meinēte en tō emō tō logō este alēthōs mou mathētai — NA/TR · 31
32
Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free…
καὶ γνώσεσθε τὴν ἀλήθειαν καὶ ἡ ἀλήθεια ἐλευθερώσει ὑμᾶς kai gnōsesthe tēn alētheian kai hē alētheia eleutherōsei hymas — NA/TR · 32
33
“We are Abraham’s descendants, they answered… “We have never been slaves… to [anyone]. How {can} You say [we] will be set free?
ἐσμεν Ἀβραάμ Σπέρμα Ἀπεκρίθησαν πρὸς αὐτόν καὶ δεδουλεύκαμεν πώποτε οὐδενὶ πῶς σὺ λέγεις ὅτι γενήσεσθε Ἐλεύθεροι esmen Abraam Sperma Apekrithēsan pros auton kai dedouleukamen pōpote oudeni pōs sy legeis hoti genēsesthe Eleutheroi — NA/TR · 33
34
- Jesus replied -, “Truly, truly, I tell you, everyone who vvv vvv sins is a slave to sin.
ὁ Ἰησοῦς Ἀπεκρίθη αὐτοῖς Ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι πᾶς ὁ ποιῶν τὴν ἁμαρτίαν ἐστιν δοῦλός τῆς ἁμαρτίας ho Iēsous Apekrithē autois Amēn amēn legō hymin hoti pas ho poiōn tēn hamartian estin doulos tēs hamartias — NA/TR · 34
35
- A slave {does} not remain in the house vvv vvv forever, [but] a son remains vvv vvv forever.
δὲ ὁ δοῦλος οὐ μένει ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ὁ υἱὸς μένει εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα de ho doulos ou menei en tē oikia eis ton aiōna ho huios menei eis ton aiōna — NA/TR · 35
36
So if the Son vvv sets you free, you will be free indeed.
οὖν ἐὰν ὁ Υἱὸς ὑμᾶς ἐλευθερώσῃ ἔσεσθε ἐλεύθεροι ὄντως oun ean ho Huios hymas eleutherōsē esesthe eleutheroi ontōs — NA/TR · 36
37
I know you are Abraham’s descendants, but you are trying to kill Me because My word vvv has no place within you.
Οἶδα ὅτι ἐστε Ἀβραάμ σπέρμα ἀλλὰ ζητεῖτέ ἀποκτεῖναι με ὅτι ὁ ἐμὸς ὁ λόγος οὐ χωρεῖ ἐν ὑμῖν Oida hoti este Abraam sperma alla zēteite apokteinai me hoti ho emos ho logos ou chōrei en hymin — NA/TR · 37
38
I speak of what I have seen in the presence of the Father, and you do what you have heard from [your] father.
λαλῶ ἃ ἐγὼ ἑώρακα παρὰ τῷ Πατρὶ καὶ οὖν ὑμεῖς ποιεῖτε ἃ ἠκούσατε παρὰ τοῦ πατρὸς lalō ha egō heōraka para tō Patri kai oun hymeis poieite ha ēkousate para tou patros — NA/TR · 38
39
“Abraham is our father, they replied… “If you were children of Abraham, said… Jesus, “you would do the works of Abraham.
Ἀβραάμ ἐστιν ἡμῶν Ὁ πατὴρ Ἀπεκρίθησαν καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ Εἰ ἐστε τέκνα τοῦ Ἀβραάμ Λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐποιεῖτε τὰ ἔργα τοῦ Ἀβραὰμ Abraam estin hēmōn Ho patēr Apekrithēsan kai eipan autō Ei este tekna tou Abraam Legei autois ho Iēsous epoieite ta erga tou Abraam — NA/TR · 39
40
But now you are trying to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham never did such a thing.
δὲ νῦν ζητεῖτέ ἀποκτεῖναι με ἄνθρωπον ὃς λελάληκα ὑμῖν τὴν ἀλήθειαν ἣν ἤκουσα παρὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ Ἀβραὰμ οὐκ ἐποίησεν τοῦτο de nyn zēteite apokteinai me anthrōpon hos lelalēka hymin tēn alētheian hēn ēkousa para tou Theou Abraam ouk epoiēsen touto — NA/TR · 40
41
You are doing the works of your father. “We vvv are not illegitimate children…, they declared… “Our only Father [is] God [Himself].
ὑμεῖς ποιεῖτε τὰ ἔργα τοῦ ὑμῶν πατρὸς Ἡμεῖς οὐ γεγεννήμεθα ἐκ πορνείας οὖν Εἶπαν αὐτῷ ἔχομεν ἕνα Πατέρα τὸν Θεόν hymeis poieite ta erga tou hymōn patros Hēmeis ou gegennēmetha ek porneias oun Eipan autō echomen hena Patera ton Theon — NA/TR · 41
42
- Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, vvv you would love Me, for I have come here from God. - I have not come… on My own, but He sent Me.
ὁ Ἰησοῦς Εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Εἰ ὁ Θεὸς ἦν ὑμῶν Πατὴρ ἂν ἠγαπᾶτε ἐμέ γὰρ ἐγὼ ἐξῆλθον ἥκω ἐκ τοῦ Θεοῦ καὶ γὰρ ἐλήλυθα οὐδὲ ἀπ’ ἐμαυτοῦ ἀλλ’ ἐκεῖνός ἀπέστειλεν με ho Iēsous Eipen autois Ei ho Theos ēn hymōn Patēr an ēgapate eme gar egō exēlthon hēkō ek tou Theou kai gar elēlytha oude ap’ emautou all’ ekeinos apesteilen me — NA/TR · 42
43
Why… vvv do you not understand what I am saying? [It is] because vvv you are unable to accept My message.
Διὰ τί οὐ γινώσκετε τὴν ἐμὴν τὴν λαλιὰν ὅτι οὐ δύνασθε ἀκούειν τὸν ἐμόν τὸν λόγον Dia ti ou ginōskete tēn emēn tēn lalian hoti ou dynasthe akouein ton emon ton logon — NA/TR · 43
44
You belong to… [your] father, the devil, and you want to carry out vvv vvv vvv [his] desires. He was a murderer from [the] beginning, refusing to uphold the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies…, he speaks [his] native [ language], because he is a liar and the father of [lies].
ὑμεῖς ἐστὲ ἐκ τοῦ πατρὸς τοῦ διαβόλου καὶ θέλετε ποιεῖν τὰς τοῦ ὑμῶν πατρὸς ἐπιθυμίας ἐκεῖνος ἦν ἀνθρωποκτόνος ἀπ’ ἀρχῆς καὶ οὐκ ἔστηκεν ἐν τῇ ἀληθείᾳ ὅτι ἔστιν οὐκ ἀλήθεια ἐν αὐτῷ ὅταν λαλῇ τὸ ψεῦδος λαλεῖ ἐκ τῶν ἰδίων ὅτι ἐστὶν ψεύστης καὶ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ hymeis este ek tou patros tou diabolou kai thelete poiein tas tou hymōn patros epithymias ekeinos ēn anthrōpoktonos ap’ archēs kai ouk estēken en tē alētheia hoti estin ouk alētheia en autō hotan lalē to pseudos lalei ek tōn idiōn hoti estin pseustēs kai ho patēr autou — NA/TR · 44
45
But because I speak the truth, vvv you do not believe Me!
δὲ ὅτι ἐγὼ λέγω τὴν ἀλήθειαν οὐ πιστεύετέ μοι de hoti egō legō tēn alētheian ou pisteuete moi — NA/TR · 45
46
Which of you can prove Me guilty… of sin? If I speak [the] truth, why… {do} you not believe Me?
Τίς ἐξ ὑμῶν ἐλέγχει με περὶ ἁμαρτίας εἰ λέγω ἀλήθειαν διὰ τί ὑμεῖς οὐ πιστεύετέ μοι Tis ex hymōn elenchei me peri hamartias ei legō alētheian dia ti hymeis ou pisteuete moi — NA/TR · 46
47
Whoever belongs to… God hears the words of God. The reason… you {do} not hear is that you do not belong to God.
ὁ ὢν ἐκ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἀκούει τὰ ῥήματα τοῦ Θεοῦ διὰ τοῦτο ὑμεῖς οὐκ ἀκούετε ὅτι ἐστέ οὐκ ἐκ τοῦ Θεοῦ ho ōn ek tou Theou akouei ta rhēmata tou Theou dia touto hymeis ouk akouete hoti este ouk ek tou Theou — NA/TR · 47
Before Abraham Was Born, I Am
48
The Jews answered… Him, “Are we not… right to say that You are a Samaritan and You have a demon?
οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι Ἀπεκρίθησαν καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ Οὐ ἡμεῖς καλῶς λέγομεν ὅτι σὺ εἶ Σαμαρίτης καὶ ἔχεις δαιμόνιον hoi Ioudaioi Apekrithēsan kai eipan autō Ou hēmeis kalōs legomen hoti sy ei Samaritēs kai echeis daimonion — NA/TR · 48
49
“I {do} not have a demon, Jesus replied, “but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me.
Ἐγὼ οὐκ ἔχω δαιμόνιον Ἰησοῦς Ἀπεκρίθη ἀλλὰ τιμῶ μου τὸν Πατέρα καὶ ὑμεῖς ἀτιμάζετέ με Egō ouk echō daimonion Iēsous Apekrithē alla timō mou ton Patera kai hymeis atimazete me — NA/TR · 49
50
- I {do} not seek My [own] glory. There is One who seeks [it], and He is the Judge.
δὲ ἐγὼ οὐ ζητῶ μου τὴν δόξαν ἔστιν ὁ ζητῶν καὶ κρίνων de egō ou zētō mou tēn doxan estin ho zētōn kai krinōn — NA/TR · 50
51
Truly, truly, I tell you, if anyone keeps My word, vvv vvv he will never see… death.
ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ἐάν τις τηρήσῃ ἐμὸν τὸν λόγον οὐ μὴ θεωρήσῃ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα θάνατον amēn amēn legō hymin ean tis tērēsē emon ton logon ou mē theōrēsē eis ton aiōna thanaton — NA/TR · 51
52
“Now we know that You have a demon! declared the Jews. “Abraham died, and so did the prophets, yet You say that vvv anyone who keeps [Your] word vvv vvv will never taste… death.
Νῦν ἐγνώκαμεν ὅτι ἔχεις δαιμόνιον οὖν Εἶπον αὐτῷ οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι Ἀβραὰμ ἀπέθανεν καὶ οἱ προφῆται καὶ σὺ λέγεις Ἐάν τις τηρήσῃ μου τὸν λόγον οὐ μὴ γεύσηται εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα θανάτου Nyn egnōkamen hoti echeis daimonion oun Eipon autō hoi Ioudaioi Abraam apethanen kai hoi prophētai kai sy legeis Ean tis tērēsē mou ton logon ou mē geusētai eis ton aiōna thanatou — NA/TR · 52
53
Are You vvv greater than our father Abraham? [He] died, [as did] the prophets -. Who do You claim to be…?
εἶ σὺ μὴ μείζων ἡμῶν τοῦ πατρὸς Ἀβραάμ ὅστις ἀπέθανεν καὶ οἱ προφῆται ἀπέθανον τίνα ποιεῖς σεαυτὸν ei sy mē meizōn hēmōn tou patros Abraam hostis apethanen kai hoi prophētai apethanon tina poieis seauton — NA/TR · 53
54
Jesus answered, “If I glorify Myself, My glory means nothing. The [One who] glorifies Me is My Father, [of] whom you say, ‘He is our God.’
Ἰησοῦς Ἀπεκρίθη Ἐὰν ἐγὼ δοξάσω ἐμαυτόν μου ἡ δόξα ἐστιν οὐδέν ὁ δοξάζων με ἔστιν μου ὁ Πατήρ ὃν ὑμεῖς λέγετε ὅτι ἐστιν ἡμῶν Θεὸς Iēsous Apekrithē Ean egō doxasō emauton mou hē doxa estin ouden ho doxazōn me estin mou ho Patēr hon hymeis legete hoti estin hēmōn Theos — NA/TR · 54
55
- vvv You do not know Him, but I know Him. If I said vvv I did not know Him, I would be a liar like you. But I do know Him, and I keep His word.
καὶ οὐκ ἐγνώκατε αὐτόν δὲ ἐγὼ οἶδα αὐτόν κἂν εἴπω ὅτι οὐκ οἶδα αὐτόν ἔσομαι ψεύστης ὅμοιος ὑμῖν ἀλλὰ οἶδα αὐτὸν καὶ τηρῶ αὐτοῦ τὸν λόγον kai ouk egnōkate auton de egō oida auton kan eipō hoti ouk oida auton esomai pseustēs homoios hymin alla oida auton kai tērō autou ton logon — NA/TR · 55
56
Your father Abraham rejoiced that he would see My day. He saw [it] and was glad.
ὑμῶν ὁ πατὴρ Ἀβραὰμ ἠγαλλιάσατο ἵνα ἴδῃ τὴν ἐμήν τὴν ἡμέραν καὶ εἶδεν καὶ ἐχάρη hymōn ho patēr Abraam ēgalliasato hina idē tēn emēn tēn hēmeran kai eiden kai echarē — NA/TR · 56
57
Then the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years [old], and You have seen Abraham?
οὖν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι Εἶπον πρὸς αὐτόν ἔχεις οὔπω Πεντήκοντα ἔτη καὶ ἑώρακας Ἀβραὰμ oun hoi Ioudaioi Eipon pros auton echeis oupō Pentēkonta etē kai heōrakas Abraam — NA/TR · 57
58
“Truly, truly, I tell you, Jesus declared…, “before Abraham was [born], I am!
Ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν Ἰησοῦς Εἶπεν αὐτοῖς πρὶν Ἀβραὰμ γενέσθαι ἐγὼ εἰμί Amēn amēn legō hymin Iēsous Eipen autois prin Abraam genesthai egō eimi — NA/TR · 58
59
At this, they picked up stones to throw at Him. But Jesus was hidden and went out of the temple area.
οὖν Ἦραν λίθους ἵνα βάλωσιν ἐπ’ αὐτόν δὲ Ἰησοῦς ἐκρύβη καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἐκ τοῦ ἱεροῦ oun Ēran lithous hina balōsin ep’ auton de Iēsous ekrybē kai exēlthen ek tou hierou — NA/TR · 59
