Book 43 : JOHN - Chapter 008
008:001
And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and
all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught
them
008:002
And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken
in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst
008:003
They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery,
in the very act
008:004
Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned:
but what sayest thou
008:005
This 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
008:006
So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and
said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him
first cast a stone at her
008:007
And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground
008:008
And they which heard it, being convicted by their own
conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even
unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman
standing in the midst
008:009
When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman,
he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath
no man condemned thee
008:010
She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I
condemn thee: go, and sin no more
008:011
Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of
the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness,
but shall have the light of life
008:012
The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of
thyself; thy record is not true
008:013
Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of
myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and
whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I
go
008:014
Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man
008:015
And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone,
but I and the Father that sent me
008:016
It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men
is true
008:017
I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent
me beareth witness of me
008:018
Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered,
Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye
should have known my Father also
008:019
These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the
temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet
come
008:020
Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall
seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot
come
008:021
Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith,
Whither I go, ye cannot come
008:022
And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above:
ye are of this world; I am not of this world
008:023
I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for
if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins
008:024
Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto
them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning
008:025
I 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
008:026
They understood not that he spake to them of the Father
008:027
Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of
man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of
myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things
008:028
And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me
alone; for I do always those things that please him
008:029
As he spake these words, many believed on him
008:030
Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye
continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed
008:031
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you
free
008:032
They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in
bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free
008:033
Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever
committeth sin is the servant of sin
008:034
And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son
abideth ever
008:035
If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free
indeed
008:036
I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me,
because my word hath no place in you
008:037
I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that
which ye have seen with your father
008:038
They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus
saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do
the works of Abraham
008:039
But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the
truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham
008:040
Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be
not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God
008:041
Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love
me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of
myself, but he sent me
008:042
Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot
hear my word
008:043
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father
ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode
not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he
speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and
the father of it
008:044
And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not
008:045
Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why
do ye not believe me
008:046
He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them
not, because ye are not of God
008:047
Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well
that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil
008:048
Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father,
and ye do dishonour me
008:049
And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and
judgeth
008:050
Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he
shall never see death
008:051
Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a
devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If
a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death
008:052
Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and
the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself
008:053
Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it
is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is
your God
008:054
Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should
say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I
know him, and keep his saying
008:055
Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and
was glad
008:056
Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old,
and hast thou seen Abraham
008:057
Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before
Abraham was, I am
008:058
Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid
himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst
of them, and so passed by
