8John 8

1Jesus went to the mount of Olives.Select John 8:1

2And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him; and he sat down, and taught them.Select John 8:2

3And the scribes and Pharisees brought to him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the middle,Select John 8:3

4They say to him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.Select John 8:4

5Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what say you?Select John 8:5

6This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.Select John 8:6

7So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said to them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.Select John 8:7

8And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.Select John 8:8

9And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the oldest, even to the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the middle.Select John 8:9

10When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said to her, Woman, where are those your accusers? has no man condemned you?Select John 8:10

11She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said to her, Neither do I condemn you: go, and sin no more. ¶Select John 8:11

12Then spoke Jesus again to them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.Select John 8:12

13The Pharisees therefore said to him, You bore record of yourself; your record is not true.Select John 8:13

14Jesus answered and said to them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know from where I came, and where I go; but you cannot tell from where I come, and where I go.Select John 8:14

15You judge after the flesh; I judge no man.Select John 8:15

16And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.Select John 8:16

17It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.Select John 8:17

18I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me bears witness of me.Select John 8:18

19Then said they to him, Where is your Father? Jesus answered, You neither know me, nor my Father: if you had known me, you should have known my Father also.Select John 8:19

20These words spoke Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.Select John 8:20

21Then said Jesus again to them, I go my way, and you shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: where I go, you cannot come.Select John 8:21

22Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he says, Where I go, you cannot come.Select John 8:22

23And he said to them, You are from beneath; I am from above: you are of this world; I am not of this world.Select John 8:23

24I said therefore to you, that you shall die in your sins: for if you believe not that I am he, you shall die in your sins.Select John 8:24

25Then said they to him, Who are you? And Jesus says to them, Even the same that I said to you from the beginning.Select John 8:25

26I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.Select John 8:26

27They understood not that he spoke to them of the Father.Select John 8:27

28Then said Jesus to them, When you have lifted up the Son of man, then shall you know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father has taught me, I speak these things.Select John 8:28

29And he that sent me is with me: the Father has not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.Select John 8:29

30As he spoke these words, many believed on him.Select John 8:30

31Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If you continue in my word, then are you my disciples indeed;Select John 8:31

32And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. ¶Select John 8:32

33They answered him, We be Abraham’s seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how say you, You shall be made free?Select John 8:33

34Jesus answered them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Whoever commits sin is the servant of sin.Select John 8:34

35And the servant stays not in the house for ever: but the Son stays ever.Select John 8:35

36If the Son therefore shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.Select John 8:36

37I know that you are Abraham’s seed; but you seek to kill me, because my word has no place in you.Select John 8:37

38I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and you do that which you have seen with your father.Select John 8:38

39They answered and said to him, Abraham is our father. Jesus says to them, If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham.Select John 8:39

40But now you seek to kill me, a man that has told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.Select John 8:40

41You do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.Select John 8:41

42Jesus said to them, If God were your Father, you would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.Select John 8:42

43Why do you not understand my speech? even because you cannot hear my word.Select John 8:43

44You are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and stayed not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.Select John 8:44

45And because I tell you the truth, you believe me not.Select John 8:45

46Which of you convinces me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do you not believe me?Select John 8:46

47He that is of God hears God’s words: you therefore hear them not, because you are not of God.Select John 8:47

48Then answered the Jews, and said to him, Say we not well that you are a Samaritan, and have a devil?Select John 8:48

49Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honor my Father, and you do dishonor me.Select John 8:49

50And I seek not my own glory: there is one that seeks and judges.Select John 8:50

51Truly, truly, I say to you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.Select John 8:51

52Then said the Jews to him, Now we know that you have a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and you say, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.Select John 8:52

53Are you greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom make you yourself?Select John 8:53

54Jesus answered, If I honor myself, my honor is nothing: it is my Father that honors me; of whom you say, that he is your God:Select John 8:54

55Yet you have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like to you: but I know him, and keep his saying.Select John 8:55

56Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.Select John 8:56

57Then said the Jews to him, You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?Select John 8:57

58Jesus said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Before Abraham was, I am.Select John 8:58

59Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the middle of them, and so passed by.Select John 8:59
