John 8 — GNV
8Verse 1And Iesus went vnto the mount of Oliues,Verse 2And early in the morning came againe into the Temple, and all the people came vnto him, and he sate downe, and taught them.Verse 3Then the Scribes, and the Pharises brought vnto him a woman, taken in adulterie, and set her in the middes,Verse 4And said vnto him, Master, we foud this woman committing adulterie, euen in the very acte.Verse 5Now Moses in our Law commanded, that such should be stoned: what sayest thou therefore?Verse 6And this they saide to tempt him, that they might haue, whereof to accuse him. But Iesus stouped downe, and with his finger wrote on the groud.Verse 7And while they continued asking him, hee lift himselfe vp, and sayde vnto them, Let him that is among you without sinne, cast the first stone at her.Verse 8And againe hee stouped downe, and wrote on the ground.Verse 9And when they heard it, being accused by their owne conscience, they went out one by one, beginning at ye eldest euen to the last: so Iesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the mids.Verse 10When Iesus had lift vp himselfe againe, and sawe no man, but the woman, hee saide vnto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?Verse 11She said, No man, Lord. And Iesus said, Neither do I condemne thee: go and sinne no more.Verse 12Then spake Iesus againe vnto them, saying, I am that light of the worlde: hee that followeth mee, shall not walke in darkenes, but shall haue that light of life.Verse 13The Pharises therefore saide vnto him, Thou bearest recorde of thy selfe: thy recorde is not true.Verse 14Iesus answered, and sayde vnto them, Though I beare recorde of my selfe, yet my recorde is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go: but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I goe.Verse 15Ye iudge after the flesh: I iudge no man.Verse 16And if I also iudge, my iudgement is true: for I am not alone, but I, and the Father, that sent mee.Verse 17And it is also written in your Lawe, that the testimonie of two men is true.Verse 18I am one that beare witnes of my selfe, and the Father that sent me, beareth witnes of me.Verse 19Then saide they vnto him, Where is that Father of thine? Iesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor that Father of mine. If ye had knowen me, ye should haue knowen that Father of mine also.Verse 20These wordes spake Iesus in the treasurie, as hee taught in the Temple, and no man layde handes on him: for his houre was not yet come.Verse 21Then saide Iesus againe vnto them, I goe my way, and ye shall seeke me, and shall die in your sinnes, Whither I goe, can ye not come.Verse 22Then said the Iewes, Will he kill himselfe, because he saith, Whither I goe, can ye not come?Verse 23And hee saide vnto them, Ye are from beneath, I am from aboue: ye are of this world, I am not of this worlde.Verse 24I said therefore vnto you, That ye shall die in your sinnes: for except ye beleeue, that I am he, ye shall die in your sinnes.Verse 25Then saide they vnto him, Who art thou? And Iesus saide vnto them, Euen the same thing that I said vnto you from the beginning.Verse 26I haue many things to say, and to iudge of you: but he that sent me, is true, and the things that I haue heard of him, those speake I to the world.Verse 27They vnderstoode not that hee spake to them of the Father.Verse 28Then said Iesus vnto them, When ye haue lift vp the Sonne of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I doe nothing of my selfe, but as my Father hath taught me, so I speake these things.Verse 29For he that sent me, is with me: the Father hath not left me alone, because I do alwayes those things that please him.Verse 30As hee spake these thinges, many beleeued in him.Verse 31Then saide Iesus to the Iewes which beleeued in him, If ye continue in my worde, ye are verely my disciples,Verse 32And shall know the trueth, and the trueth shall make you free.Verse 33They answered him, Wee be Abrahams seede, and were neuer bonde to any man: why sayest thou then, Ye shalbe made free?Verse 34Iesus answered them, Verely, verely I say vnto you, that whosoeuer committeth sinne, is the seruant of sinne.Verse 35And the seruant abideth not in the house for euer: but the Sonne abideth for euer.Verse 36If that Sonne therefore shall make you free, ye shalbe free in deede.Verse 37I know that ye are Abrahams seede, but yee seeke to kill mee, because my worde hath no place in you.Verse 38I speake that which I haue seene with my Father: and ye doe that which ye haue seene with your father.Verse 39They answered, and saide vnto him, Abraham is our father. Iesus said vnto them, If ye were Abrahams children, ye woulde doe the workes of Abraham.Verse 40But nowe ye goe about to kill mee, a man that haue told you the trueth, which I haue heard of God: this did not Abraham.Verse 41Ye do the workes of your father. Then said they to him, We are not borne of fornication: we haue one Father, which is God.Verse 42Therefore Iesus sayde vnto them, If God were your Father, then woulde ye loue mee: for I proceeded foorth, and came from God, neither came I of my selfe, but he sent me.Verse 43Why doe ye not vnderstande my talke? because ye cannot heare my worde.Verse 44Ye are of your father the deuill, and the lustes of your father ye will doe: hee hath bene a murtherer from the beginning, and abode not in the trueth, because there is no trueth in him. When hee speaketh a lie, then speaketh hee of his owne: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.Verse 45And because I tell you the trueth, yee beleeue me not.Verse 46Which of you can rebuke me of sinne? and if I say the trueth, why do ye not beleeue me?Verse 47He that is of God, heareth Gods wordes: yee therefore heare them not, because ye are not of God.Verse 48Then answered the Iewes, and said vnto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritane, and hast a deuil?Verse 49Iesus answered, I haue not a deuil, but I honour my Father, and ye haue dishonoured me.Verse 50And I seeke not mine owne praise: but there is one that seeketh it, and iudgeth.Verse 51Verely, verely I say vnto you, If a man keepe my word, he shall neuer see death.Verse 52Then said the Iewes to him, Now know we that thou hast a deuill. Abraham is dead, and the Prophets: and thou sayest, If a man keepe my worde, he shall neuer taste of death.Verse 53Art thou greater then our father Abraham, which is dead? and the Prophets are dead: whome makest thou thy selfe?Verse 54Iesus answered, If I honour my selfe, mine honour is nothing worth: it is my Father that honoureth me, whome ye say, that hee is your God.Verse 55Yet ye haue not knowen him: but I knowe him, and if I should say I know him not, I should be a liar like vnto you: but I knowe him, and keepe his worde.Verse 56Your father Abraham reioyced to see my day, and he sawe it, and was glad.Verse 57Then sayd ye Iewes vnto him, Thou art not yet fiftie yeere olde, and hast thou seene Abraham?Verse 58Iesus sayd vnto them, Verely, verely I say vnto you, before Abraham was, I am.Verse 59Then tooke they vp stones, to cast at him, but Iesus hid himselfe, and went out of the Temple: And hee passed through the middes of them, and so went his way.
