John 8 — WBMS
8Verse 1But Jesus went into the mount of Olivet.Verse 2And early again he came into the temple; and all the people came to him; and he sat, and taught them.Verse 3And scribes and Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery, and they setted her in the middle,Verse 4and said to him, Master, this woman is now taken in adultery.Verse 5And in the law Moses commanded us to stone such; therefore what sayest thou?Verse 6And they said this thing tempting him, that they might accuse him. And Jesus bowed himself down, and wrote with his finger in the earth.Verse 7And when they abided [or con-tinued] asking him, he raised himself, and said to them, He of you that is without sin, first cast a stone into her.Verse 8And again he bowed [down] himself, and wrote in the earth.Verse 9And they hearing these things, went away one after another, and they began from the elder men; and Jesus dwelt alone, and the woman standing in the middle.Verse 10And Jesus raised himself, and said to her, Woman, where be they that accused thee? no man hath con-demned thee.Verse 11She said, No man, Lord. Jesus said to her, Neither I shall condemn thee; go thou, and now afterward do not thou sin more [or do not thou do sin].Verse 12Therefore again Jesus spake to them, and said, I am the light of the world; he that pursueth me, walketh not in darknesses, but shall have the light of life.Verse 13Therefore the Pharisees said, Thou bearest witnessing of thyself; thy witnessing is not true.Verse 14Jesus answered, and said to them, And if I bear witnessing of myself, my witnessing is true; for I know from whence I came, and whither I go. But ye know not from whence I came, nor whither I go.Verse 15For ye deem after the flesh, but I deem no man;Verse 16and if I deem, my doom is true, for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.Verse 17And in your law it is written, that the witnessing of two men is true.Verse 18I am, that bear witnessing of myself, and the Father that sent me, beareth witnessing of me.Verse 19Therefore they said to him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Neither ye know me, nor ye know my Father; if ye knew me, peradventure ye should know also my Father.Verse 20Jesus spake these words in the treasury, teaching in the temple; and no man took him, for his hour came not yet.Verse 21Therefore again Jesus said to them, Lo! I go, and ye shall seek me, and ye shall die in your sin; whither I go, ye may not come.Verse 22Therefore the Jews said, Whether he shall slay himself, for he saith, Whither I go, ye may not come?Verse 23And he said to them, Ye be of beneath, I am of above; ye be of this world, I am not of this world.Verse 24Therefore I said to you, that ye shall die in your sins; for if ye believe not that I am, ye shall die in your sins.Verse 25Therefore they said to him, Who art thou? Jesus said to them, The beginning, [or the first of all thing], which [and I] also speak to you.Verse 26I have many things to speak, and to deem of you, but he that sent me is soothfast; and I speak in the world these things, that I heard of him.Verse 27And they knew not, that he called his Father God.Verse 28Therefore Jesus said to them, When ye have araised man’s Son, then ye shall know, that I am, and of myself I do nothing; but as my Father taught me, I speak these things.Verse 29And he that sent me is with me, and left me not alone; for I do ever-more those things, that be pleasing to him.Verse 30When he spake these things, many believed in him.Verse 31Therefore Jesus said to the Jews, that believed in him, If ye dwell in my word, verily, ye shall be my disciples;Verse 32and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.Verse 33Therefore the Jews answered to him, We be the seed of Abraham, and we served never to man [or and to no man we served ever]; how sayest thou, That ye shall be free?Verse 34Jesus answered to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, each man that doeth sin, is [the] servant of sin.Verse 35And the servant dwelleth not in the house without end, but the Son dwelleth without end.Verse 36Therefore if the Son make you free, verily, ye shall be free.Verse 37I know that ye be Abraham’s sons, but ye seek to slay me, for my word taketh not in you.Verse 38I speak those things, that I saw at my Father; and ye do those things, that ye saw at your father.Verse 39They answered, and said to him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith to them, If ye be the sons of Abraham, do ye the works of Abraham.Verse 40But now ye seek to slay me, a man that have spoken to you [the] truth, that I heard of God; Abraham did not this thing.Verse 41Ye do the works of your father. Therefore they said to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, God.Verse 42But Jesus saith to them, If God were your Father, soothly ye should love me; for I passed forth of God, [or I proceeded, or came forth, of God], and came; for neither I came of myself, but he sent me.Verse 43Why know ye not my speech? for ye may not hear my word.Verse 44Ye be of the father, the devil, and ye will do the desires of your father. He was a manslayer from the begin-ning, and he stood not in truth; for truth is not in him. When he speaketh leasing, he speaketh of his own; for he is a liar, and father of it.Verse 45But for I say truth, ye believe not to me.Verse 46Who of you shall reprove me of sin? if I say truth, why believe ye not to me?Verse 47He that is of God, heareth the words of God; therefore ye hear not, for ye be not of God.Verse 48Therefore the Jews answered, and said [to him], Whether we say not well, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?Verse 49Jesus answered, and said, I have not a devil, but I honour my Father, and ye have unhonoured me.Verse 50For I seek not my glory; there is he, that seeketh, and deemeth.Verse 51Truly, truly, I say to you, if any man keep my word, he shall not taste death without end.Verse 52Therefore the Jews said, Now we have known, that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets, and thou sayest, If any man keep my word, he shall not taste death without end.Verse 53Whether thou art greater than our father Abraham, that is dead, and the prophets be dead; whom makest thou thyself?Verse 54Jesus answered, If I glorify myself, my glory is nought; my Father is, that glorifieth me, whom ye say, that he is your God.Verse 55And ye have not known him, but I have known him; and if I say that I know him not, I shall be a liar like to you; but I know him, and I keep his word.Verse 56Abraham, your father, gladded [or full out joyed] to see my day; and he saw, and joyed.Verse 57Then the Jews said to him, Thou hast not yet fifty years, and hast thou seen Abraham?Verse 58Therefore Jesus said to them, Truly, truly I say to you, before that Abraham should be [or was made], I am.Verse 59Therefore they took stones, to cast to him; but Jesus hid him, and went out of the temple.
