8John 8

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

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

3The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery. Having set her in the midst,Select John 8:3

4they told him, “Teacher, we found this woman in adultery, in the very act.Select John 8:4

5Now in our law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. What then do you say about her?”Select John 8:5

6They said this testing him, that they might have something to accuse him of. But Jesus stooped down, and wrote on the ground with his finger.Select John 8:6

7But when they continued asking him, he looked up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw the first stone at her.”Select John 8:7

8Again he stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.Select John 8:8

9They, when they heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning from the oldest, even to the last. Jesus was left alone with the woman where she was, in the middle.Select John 8:9

10Jesus, standing up, saw her and said, “Woman, where are your accusers? Did no one condemn you?”Select John 8:10

11She said, “No one, Lord.” Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go your way. From now on, sin no more.”Select John 8:11

12Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world.He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.”Select John 8:12

13The Pharisees therefore said to him, “You testify about yourself. Your testimony is not valid.”Select John 8:13

14Jesus answered 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 don’t know where I came from, or where I am going.Select John 8:14

15You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.Select John 8:15

16Even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.Select John 8:16

17It’s also written in your law that the testimony of two people is valid.Select John 8:17

18I am one who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me.”Select John 8:18

19They said therefore to him, “Where is your Father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither me, nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father also.”Select John 8:19

20Jesus spoke these words in the treasury, as he taught in the temple. Yet no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.Select John 8:20

21Jesus said therefore again to them, “I am going away, and you will seek me, and you will die in your sins. Where I go, you can’t come.”Select John 8:21

22The Jews therefore said, “Will he kill himself, that he says, ‘Where I am going, you can’t come’?”Select John 8:22

23He 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 will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I amhe, you will die in your sins.”Select John 8:24

25They said therefore to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them, “Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.Select John 8:25

26I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you. However he who sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these I say to the world.”Select John 8:26

27They didn’t understand that he spoke to them about the Father.Select John 8:27

28Jesus therefore said to them, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and I do nothing of myself, but as my Father taught me, I say these things.Select John 8:28

29He who sent me is with me. The Father hasn’t left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him.”Select John 8:29

30As he spoke these things, many believed in him.Select John 8:30

31Jesus therefore said to those Jews who had believed him, “If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.Select John 8:31

32You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”Select John 8:32

33They answered him, “We are Abraham’s seed, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How do you say, ‘You will be made free’?”Select John 8:33

34Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the bondservant of sin.Select John 8:34

35A bondservant doesn’t live in the house forever. A son remains forever.Select John 8:35

36If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.Select John 8:36

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

38I say the things which I have seen with my Father; and you also do the things which you have seen with your father.”Select John 8:38

39They answered him, “Our father is Abraham.” Jesus said 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 who has told you the truth, which I heard from God. Abraham didn’t do this.Select John 8:40

41You do the works of your father.” They said to him, “We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, God.”Select John 8:41

42Therefore Jesus said to them, “If God were your father, you would love me, for I came out and have come from God. For I haven’t come of myself, but he sent me.Select John 8:42

43Why don’t you understand my speech? Because you can’t hear my word.Select John 8:43

44You are of your father, the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn’t stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and its father.Select John 8:44

45But because I tell the truth, you don’t believe me.Select John 8:45

46Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?Select John 8:46

47He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you don’t hear, because you are not of God.”Select John 8:47

48Then the Jews answered him, “Don’t we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?”Select John 8:48

49Jesus answered, “I don’t have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.Select John 8:49

50But I don’t seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and judges.Select John 8:50

51Most certainly, I tell you, if a person keeps my word, he will never see death.”Select John 8:51

52Then the Jews said to him, “Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and you say, ‘If a man keeps my word, he will never taste of death.’Select John 8:52

53Are you greater than our father, Abraham, who died? The prophets died. Who do you make yourself out to be?”Select John 8:53

54Jesus answered, “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say that he is our God.Select John 8:54

55You have not known him, but I know him. If I said, ‘I don’t know him,’ I would be like you, a liar. But I know him, and keep his word.Select John 8:55

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

57The Jews therefore said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?”Select John 8:57

58Jesus said to them, “Most certainly, I tell you, before Abraham came into existence, I AM.”Select John 8:58

59Therefore they took up stones to throw at him, but Jesus was hidden, and went out of the temple, having gone through their midst, and so passed by.Select John 8:59
