The Gospel of John 8

8 [fn] Now Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 2 Now early in the morning he came to the temple again, and all the people came to him. 3 Now the scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman caught in adultery, and they placed her in the middle. 4 The priests say to him, testing him in order to have an accusation against him, “Teacher, this woman has been caught in the act of adultery. 5 Now in the law, Moses commanded us to stone such ones, but what do you say now?” 6 But Jesus, having bent down, began to write on the ground with his finger. 7 But when they continued asking him questions, he stood up and said to them, “Let the blameless one among you throw a stone at her first.” 8 And again, having stooped down, he wrote on the ground with his finger. 9 But each of the Jews went out, beginning with the oldest, so that they all went out, and he was left alone, with the woman being in the midst. 10 And Jesus, having stood up, said to the woman, “Where are they? Did no one condemn you?” 11 And she said to him, “No one, Lord.” And he said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go, from now sin no longer.”]

12 Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world; the one following me may certainly not walk in the darkness but will have the light of life.” 13 Then the Pharisees said to him, “You testify about yourself; your testimony is not true.” 14 Jesus answered and said to them, “Even if I testify about myself, my testimony is true. For 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. 15 You judge according to the flesh; I do not judge anyone. 16 But even if I judge, my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father having sent me. 17 But even in your law it is written that the testimony of two men is true. 18 I am the one testifying about myself, and the Father having sent me testifies about me.” 19 Therefore, they said to him, “Where is your father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither me nor my Father; if you had known me, you would have known my Father also.” 20 He said these words in the treasury, teaching in the temple, and no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.

21 Then again he said to them, “I go away, and you will seek me, and you will die in your sin. Where I go away, you are not able to come.” 22 Then the Jews said, “He will not kill himself, will he? Is that why he says, ‘Where I go, you are not able to come’?” 23 And he said to them, “You are from the things below; I am from the things above. You are from this world; I am not from this world. 24 Therefore, I said to you that you will die in your sins. For unless you believe that I am, you will die in your sins.” 25 Therefore, they said to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them, “What have I even been saying to you from the beginning? 26 I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you. But the one having sent me is true; and the things that I heard from him, these things I say to the world.” 27 (They did not understand that he was speaking to them about the Father.) 28 Then Jesus said to them, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then will you know that I am, and that I do nothing from myself. But just as the Father taught me, I speak these things. 29 And the one having sent me is with me. He has not left me alone, because I always do what is pleasing to him.” 30 As he is speaking these things, many believed in him.

31 Then Jesus said to the Jews having believed in him, “If you remain in my word, you are truly my disciples; 32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will free you.” 33 They replied to him, “We are the seed of Abraham and have never been slaves to anyone; how can you say, ‘You will be free’?” 34 Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, that everyone committing sin is a slave of sin. 35 Now the slave does not remain in the house into eternity; the son remains into eternity. 36 Therefore, if the Son frees you, you will be truly free. 37 I know that you are the seed of Abraham, but you seek to kill me, because my word has no place in you. 38 What I have seen with the Father, I say; and therefore, what you heard from the father, you do.” 39 They answered and said to him, “Our father is Abraham.” Jesus says to them, “If you were children of Abraham, you would do the works of Abraham. 40 But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham did not do this. 41 You do the works of your father.” Then they said to him, “We have not been born from sexual immorality; we have one Father: God.” 42 Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would have loved me, for I came from God and am here; for neither have I come from myself, but that one sent me. 43 Because of what do you not understand my speech? It is because you are not able to hear my words. 44 You are from your father, the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. That one was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he would speak a lie, he speaks from his own nature, because he is a liar and the father of it. 45 But because I speak the truth, you do not believe me. 46 Which one of you convicts me concerning sin? If I speak the truth, why do you not believe me? 47 He who is from God hears the words of God; because of this you do not hear, because you are not from God.” 48 The Jews answered and said to him, “Do we not rightly say that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?” 49 Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me. 50 Now I do not seek my glory; there is one seeking and judging. 51 Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps my word, he will certainly not see death into eternity.” 52 The Jews said to him, “Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham and the prophets died; but you say, ‘If anyone keeps my word, he will certainly not taste death into eternity.’ 53 You are not greater than our father Abraham who died, are you? The prophets also died. Who do you make yourself out to be?” 54 Jesus answered, “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing; my Father is the one glorifying me—about whom you say, ‘He is our God.’ 55 And you have not known him, but I know him. And if I would say that I do not know him, I would be like you, a liar. However, I know him and keep his word. 56 Your father Abraham rejoiced that he might see my day, and he saw and was glad.” 57 Therefore the Jews said to him, “You do not yet have 50 years, and you have seen Abraham?” 58 Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham came into existence, I am.” 59 Therefore, they picked up stones in order to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out from the temple.
