ASV_Strong : John 8
1. but Jesus[G2424] went[G4198] unto[G1519] the mount[G3735] of Olives[G1636].
2. And[G1161] early in the morning[G3722] he came[G3854] again[G3825] into[G1519] the temple[G2411], and[G2532] all[G3956] the people[G2992] came[G2064] unto[G4314] him[G846]; and[G2532] he sat down[G2523], and taught[G1321] them[G846].
3. And[G1161] the scribes[G1122] and[G2532] the Pharisees[G5330] bring[G71] a woman[G1135] taken[G2638] in[G1722] adultery[G3430]; and[G2532] having set[G2476] her[G846] in[G1722] the midst[G3319],
4. they say[G3004] unto him[G846], Teacher[G1320], this[G3778] woman[G1135] hath been taken[G2638] in adultery[G3431], in the very act[G1888].
5. Now[G1161] in[G1722] the law[G3551] Moses[G3475] commanded[G1781] us[G2254] to[G3588] stone[G3036] such[G5108]: what[G5101] then[G3767] sayest[G3004] thou of her[G4771]?
6. And this[G5124] they said[G3004], trying[G3985] him[G846], that[G2443] they might have[G2192] whereof to accuse[G2723] him[G846]. But[G1161] Jesus[G2424] stooped[G2955] down[G2736], and with[G1147] his finger[G1147] wrote[G1125] on[G1519] the ground[G1093].
7. But[G1161] when[G5613] they continued[G1961] asking[G2065] him[G846], he lifted up himself[G352], and said[G2036] unto[G4314] them[G846], He that is without sin[G361] among you[G5216], let him[G906] first[G4413] cast[G906] a stone[G3037] at[G1909] her[G846].
8. And[G2532] again[G3825] he stooped[G2955] down[G2736], and with his finger wrote[G1125] on[G1519] the ground[G1093].
9. And[G1161] they[G191], when they heard it[G2532], [G1651, 5259, 4893] went out[G1831] one[G1520] by[G5259] one[G1520], beginning[G756] from[G575] the eldest[G4245], even unto[G2193] the last[G2078]: and[G2532] Jesus[G2424] was left[G2641] alone[G3441], and[G2532] the woman[G1135], where she was[G2476], in[G1722] the midst[G3319].
10. And[G2532] Jesus[G2424] lifted up himself[G352], and said[G2036] unto her[G846], Woman[G1135], where[G4226] are[G1526] they[G1565]? did[G2632] no man[G3762] condemn[G2632] thee[G4571]?
11. And she[G3588] said[G2036], No man[G3762], Lord[G2962]. And[G1161] Jesus[G2424] said[G2036], [G846] Neither[G3761] do[G2632] I[G1473] condemn[G2632] thee[G4571]: go[G4198] thy way[G2532]; from henceforth sin[G264] no more[G3371].]]
12. Again[G3825] therefore[G3767] Jesus[G2424] spake[G2980] unto them[G846], saying[G3004], I[G1473] am[G1510] the light[G5457] of the world[G2889]: he that followeth[G190] me[G1698] shall[G4043] not[G3756, 3361] walk[G4043] in[G1722] the darkness[G4653], but[G235] shall have[G2192] the light[G5457] of life[G2222].
13. The Pharisees[G5330] therefore[G3767] said[G2036] unto him[G846], Thou[G4771] bearest witness[G3140] of[G4012] thyself[G4572]; thy[G4675] witness[G3141] is[G2076] not[G3756] true[G227].
14. Jesus[G2424] answered[G611] and[G2532] said[G2036] unto them[G846], Even[G2579] if I[G1473] bear witness[G3140] of[G4012] myself[G1683], my[G3450] witness[G3141] is[G2076] true[G227]; for[G3754] I know[G1492] whence[G4159] I came[G2064], and[G2532] whither[G4226] I go[G5217]; but[G1161] ye[G5210] know[G1492] not[G3756] whence[G4159] I come[G2064], or[G2532] whither[G4226] I go[G5217].
15. Ye[G5210] judge[G2919] after[G2596] the flesh[G4561]; I[G1473] judge[G2919] no[G3756] man[G3762].
16. Yea[G1161] and[G2532] if[G1437] I[G1473] judge[G2919], my[G1699] judgment[G2920] is[G2076] true[G227]; for[G3754] I am[G1510] not[G3756] alone[G3441], but[G235] I[G1473] and[G2532] the Father[G3962] that sent[G3992] me[G3165].
17. Yea[G1161] and in[G1722] your[G5212] law[G3551] it is[G1125] written[G1125], that[G3754] the witness[G3141] of two[G1417] men[G444] is[G2076] true[G227].
18. I[G1473] am[G1510] he that beareth witness[G3140] of[G4012] myself[G1683], and[G2532] the Father[G3962] that sent[G3992] me[G3165] beareth witness[G3140] of[G4012] me[G1700].
19. They[G3004] said[G611] therefore[G3767] unto him[G846], Where[G4226] is[G2076] thy[G4675] Father[G3962]? Jesus[G2424] answered[G611], Ye[G1492] know[G1492] neither[G3777] me[G1691], nor[G3777] my[G3450] Father[G3962]: if[G1487] ye knew me[G1691], ye would know[G1492, Leviticus2] my[G3450] Father[G3962] also[G2532].
20. These[G5023] words[G4487] spake[G2980] he[G2424] in[G1722] the treasury[G1049], as he taught[G1321] in[G1722] the temple[G2411]: and[G2532] no man[G3762] took[G4084] him[G846]; because[G3754] his[G846] hour[G5610] was[G2064] not yet[G3768] come[G2064].
21. He[G2424] said[G2036] therefore[G3767] again[G3825] unto them[G846], I[G1473] go away[G5217], and[G2532] ye shall seek[G2212] me[G3165], and[G2532] shall die[G599] in[G1722] your[G5216] sin[G266]: whither[G3699] I[G1473] go[G5217], ye[G5210] cannot[G3756, 1410] come[G2064].
22. The Jews[G2453] therefore[G3767] said[G3004], Will[G3385] he kill[G615] himself[G1438], that[G3754] he saith[G3004], Whither[G3699] I[G1473] go[G5217], ye[G5210] cannot[G3756, 1410] come[G2064]?
23. And[G2532] he said[G2036] unto them[G846], Ye[G5210] are[G2075] from[G1537] beneath[G2736]; I[G1473] am[G1510] from[G1537] above[G507]: ye[G5210] are[G2075] of[G1537] this[G5127] world[G2889]; I[G1473] am[G1510] not[G3756] of[G1537] this[G5127] world[G2889].
24. I said[G2036] therefore[G3767] unto you[G5213], that[G3754] ye shall die[G599] in[G1722] your[G5216] sins[G266]: for[G1063] except[G1437, 3361] ye believe[G4100] that[G3754] I[G1473] am[G1510] he[G599], ye shall die in[G1722] your[G5216] sins[G266].
25. They[G3004] said therefore[G3767] unto him[G846], Who[G5101] art[G1488] thou[G4771]? [G2532] Jesus[G2424] said[G2036] unto them[G846], Even[G2532] that[G3739] which[G5100] I have also spoken[G2980] unto you[G5213] from the beginning[G746].
26. I have[G2192] many things[G4183] to speak[G2980] and[G2532] to judge[G2919] concerning[G4012] you[G5216]: howbeit[G235] he that sent[G3992] me[G3165] is[G2076] true[G227]; and the things[G5023] which[G3739] I heard[G191] from[G3844] him[G846], these speak[G3004] I[G2504] unto[G1519] the world[G2889].
27. They perceived[G1097] not[G3756] that[G3754] he spake[G3004] to them[G846] of the Father[G3962].
28. Jesus[G2424] therefore[G3767] said[G2036], When[G3752] ye have lifted up[G5312] the Son[G5207] of man[G444], then[G5119] shall ye know[G1097] that[G3754] I[G1473] am[G1510] he[G2532], and that[G3754] I do[G4160] nothing[G3762] of[G575] myself[G1683], but[G235] as[G2531] the[G3450] Father[G3962] taught[G1321] me[G3165], I speak[G2980] these things[G5023].
29. And[G2532] he that sent[G3992] me[G3165] is[G2076] with[G3326] me[G1700]; he[G3962] hath[G863] not[G3756] left[G863] me[G3165] alone[G3441]; for[G3754] I[G1473] do[G4160] always[G3842] the things that are pleasing[G701] to him[G846].
30. As[G2980] he[G846] spake[G2980] these things[G5023], many[G4183] believed[G4100] on[G1519] him[G846].
31. Jesus[G2424] therefore[G3767] said[G3004] to[G4314] those[G4100] Jews[G2453] that had believed[G4100] him[G846], If[G1437] ye[G5210] abide[G3306] in[G1722] my[G1699] word[G3056], then are ye[G2075] truly[G230] my[G3450] disciples[G3101];
32. and[G2532] ye shall know[G1097] the truth[G225], and[G2532] the truth[G225] shall make[G1659] you[G5209] free[G1659].
33. They answered[G611] unto him[G846], We are[G2070] Abraham[G11]'s seed[G4690], and[G2532] have never[G4455] yet been[G1398] in bondage[G1398] to any man[G3762]: how[G4459] sayest[G3004] thou[G3754], Ye shall be made[G1096] free[G1658]?
34. Jesus[G2424] answered[G611] them[G846], Verily[G281], verily[G281], I say[G3004] unto you[G3754], Every one[G3956] that committeth[G4160] sin[G266] is[G2076] the bondservant[G1401] of sin[G266].
35. And[G1161] the bondservant[G1401] abideth[G3306] not[G3756] in[G1722] the house[G3614] for[G1519] ever[G165]: the son[G5207] abideth[G3306] for[G1519] ever[G165].
36. If[G1437] therefore[G3767] the Son[G5207] shall make[G1659] you[G5209] free[G1659], ye shall be[G2071] free[G1658] indeed[G3689].
37. I know[G1492] that[G3754] ye are[G2075] Abraham[G11]'s seed[G4690]: yet[G235] ye seek[G2212] to kill[G615] me[G3165], because[G3754] my[G1699] word[G3056] hath[G5562] not[G3756] free course[G5562] in[G1722] you[G5213].
38. I[G1473] speak[G2980] the things[G3708] which[G3739] I have seen[G3708] with[G3844] my[G3450] Father[G3962]: and[G2532] ye[G5210] also do[G4160] the things[G3767] which[G3739] ye heard[G3708] from[G3844] your[G5216] father[G3962].
39. They answered[G611] and[G2532] said[G2036] unto him[G846], Our[G2257] father[G3962] is[G2076] Abraham[G11]. Jesus[G2424] saith[G3004] unto them[G846], If[G1487] ye were[G2258] Abraham[G11]'s children[G5043], ye would do[G4160] the[G302] works[G2041] of Abraham[G11].
40. But[G1161] now[G3568] ye seek[G2212] to kill[G615] me[G3165], a man[G444] that[G3739] hath told[G2980] you[G5213] the truth[G225], which[G3739] I heard[G191] from[G3844] God[G2316]: this[G5124] did[G4160] not[G3756] Abraham[G11].
41. Ye[G5210] do[G4160] the works[G2041] of your[G5216] father[G3962]. [G3767] They[G2036] said unto him[G846], We[G2249] were[G1080] not[G3756] born[G1080] of[G1537] fornication[G4202]; we have[G2192] one[G1520] Father[G3962], even God[G2316].
42. Jesus[G2424] said[G2036] unto them[G846], If[G1487] God[G2316] were[G2258] your[G5216] Father[G3962], ye would love[G25, Leviticus2] me[G1691]: for[G1063] I[G302] came forth[G1831] and[G2532] am come[G2240] from[G1537] God[G2316]; for neither[G3761] have[G1063] I[G2064] come of[G575] myself[G1683], but[G235] he[G1565] sent[G649] me[G3165].
43. Why[G1223, Acts1] do ye[G1097] not[G3756] understand[G1097] my[G1699] speech[G2981]? Even because[G3754] ye[G191] cannot[G3756, 1410] hear[G191] my[G1699] word[G3056].
44. Ye[G5210] are[G2075] of[G1537] your father[G3962] the devil[G1228], and[G2532] the lusts[G1939] of your[G5216] father[G3962] it is your will[G2309] to do[G4160]. He[G1565] was[G2258] a[G2476] murderer[G443] from[G575] the beginning[G746], and[G2532] standeth[G2476] not[G3756] in[G1722] the truth[G225], because[G3754] there is[G2076] no[G3756] truth[G225] in[G1722] him[G846]. When[G3752] he speaketh[G2980] a lie[G5579], he speaketh[G2980] of[G1537] his own[G2398]: for[G3754] he is[G2076] a liar[G5583], and[G2532] the father[G3962] thereof[G846].
45. But[G1161] because[G3754] I[G1473] say[G3004] the truth[G225], ye believe[G4100] me[G3427] not[G3756].
46. Which[G5101] of[G1537] you[G5216] convicteth[G1651] me[G3165] of[G4012] sin[G266]? If[G1487] I[G5101] say[G3004] truth[G225], why[G1223, Acts1] do[G4100] ye[G5210] not[G3756] believe[G4100] me[G3427]?
47. He that is[G5607] of[G1537] God[G2316] heareth[G191] the words[G4487] of God[G2316]: for[G1223] this cause[G5124] ye[G5210] hear[G191] them not[G3756], because[G3754] ye are[G2075] not[G3756] of[G1537] God[G2316].
48. The[G3767] Jews[G2453] answered[G611] and[G2532] said[G2036] unto him[G846], Say[G3004] we[G2249] not[G3756] well[G2573] that[G3754] thou[G4771] art[G1488] a Samaritan[G4541], and[G2532] hast[G2192] a demon[G1140]?
49. Jesus[G2424] answered[G611], I[G1473] have[G2192] not[G3756] a demon[G1140]; but[G235] I honor[G5091] my[G3450] Father[G3962], and[G2532] ye[G5210] dishonor[G818] me[G3165].
50. But[G1161] I[G1473] seek[G2212] not[G3756] mine own[G3450] glory[G1391]: there is[G2076] one that seeketh[G2212] and[G2532] judgeth[G2919].
51. Verily[G281], verily[G281], I say[G3004] unto you[G5213], If[G1437] a man[G5100] keep[G5083] my[G1699] word[G3056], he shall[G2334] never[G1519, 165] see[G2334] death[G2288].
52. The[G3767] Jews[G2453] said[G2036] unto him[G846], Now[G3568] we know[G1097] that[G3754] thou hast[G2192] a demon[G1140]. Abraham[G11] died[G599], and[G2532] the prophets[G4396]; and[G2532] thou[G4771] sayest[G3004], If[G1437] a man[G5100] keep[G5083] my[G3450] word[G3056], he shall[G1089] never[G1519, 165] taste[G1089] of death[G2288].
53. Art[G1488] thou[G4771] greater than[G3187] our[G2257] father[G3962] Abraham[G11], who[G3748] died[G599]? and[G2532] the prophets[G4396] died[G599]: whom[G5101] makest[G4160] thou[G4771] thyself[G4572]?
54. Jesus[G2424] answered[G611], If[G1437] I[G1473] glorify[G1392] myself[G1683], my[G3450] glory[G1392] is[G2076] nothing[G3762]: it is[G2076] my[G3450] Father[G3962] that glorifieth[G1392] me[G3165]; of whom[G3739] ye[G5210] say[G3004], that[G3754] he is[G2076] your[G5216] God[G2316];
55. and[G2532] ye have[G1097] not[G3756] known[G1097] him[G846]: but[G1161] I[G1473] know[G1492] him[G846]; and[G2532] if[G1437] I should say[G3754], I know[G1492] him[G846] not[G3756], I shall be[G2071] like[G3664] unto you[G5216], a liar[G5583]: but[G235] I know[G1492] him[G846], and[G2532] keep[G5083] his[G846] word[G3056].
56. Your[G5216] father[G3962] Abraham[G11] rejoiced[G21] to[G2443] see[G1492] my[G1699] day[G2250]; and[G2532] he saw[G1492] it[G2532], and was glad[G5463].
