1Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.studyinterlinear

2And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.studyinterlinear

3And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,studyinterlinear

4They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.studyinterlinear

5Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?studyinterlinear

6This 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.studyinterlinear

7So 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.studyinterlinear

8And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.studyinterlinear

9And 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.studyinterlinear

10When 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?studyinterlinear

11She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.studyinterlinear

12Then 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.studyinterlinear

13The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true.studyinterlinear

14Jesus 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.studyinterlinear

15Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.studyinterlinear

16And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.studyinterlinear

17It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.studyinterlinear

18I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.studyinterlinear

19Then 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.studyinterlinear

20These 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.studyinterlinear

21Then 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.studyinterlinear

22Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.studyinterlinear

23And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.studyinterlinear

24I 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.studyinterlinear

25Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.studyinterlinear

26I 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.studyinterlinear

27They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.studyinterlinear

28Then 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.studyinterlinear

29And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.studyinterlinear

30As he spake these words, many believed on him.studyinterlinear

31Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;studyinterlinear

32And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.studyinterlinear

33They answered him, We be Abraham’s seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?studyinterlinear

34Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.studyinterlinear

35And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.studyinterlinear

36If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.studyinterlinear

37I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.studyinterlinear

38I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.studyinterlinear

39They 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.studyinterlinear

40But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.studyinterlinear

41Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.studyinterlinear

42Jesus 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.studyinterlinear

43Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.studyinterlinear

44Ye 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.studyinterlinear

45And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.studyinterlinear

46Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?studyinterlinear

47He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.studyinterlinear

48Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?studyinterlinear

49Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me.studyinterlinear

50And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.studyinterlinear

51Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.studyinterlinear

52Then 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.studyinterlinear

53Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?studyinterlinear

54Jesus 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:studyinterlinear

55Yet 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.studyinterlinear

56Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.studyinterlinear

57Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?studyinterlinear

58Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.studyinterlinear

59Then 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.studyinterlinear
