1 Jesus went unto the mount of Olives. 2 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. 3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, 4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. 5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? 6 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. 7 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. 8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. 9 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. 10 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? 11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
12 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. 13 The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true. 14 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. 15 Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man. 16 And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me. 17 It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true. 18 I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me. 19 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. 20 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. 21 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. 22 Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come. 23 And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world. 24 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. 25 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning. 26 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. 27 They understood not that he spake to them of the Father. 28 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. 29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him. 30 As he spake these words, many believed on him. 31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
33 They answered him, We be Abraham’s seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? 34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. 35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever. 36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. 37 I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you. 38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father. 39 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. 40 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. 41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God. 42 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. 43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. 44 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. 45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not. 46 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me? 47 He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God. 48 Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil? 49 Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me. 50 And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth. 51 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death. 52 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. 53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself? 54 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: 55 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. 56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. 57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? 58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. 59 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.
1 耶稣往橄榄山去。
2 黎明的时候, 他又到圣殿去, 众人都来到他那里, 他就坐下教导他们。
3 经学家和法利赛人带了一个行淫时被抓到的妇人来, 叫她站在中间,
4 就对耶稣说: "先生, 这妇人是正在犯奸淫的时候被抓到的。
5 摩西在律法上吩咐我们把这样的妇人用石头打死, 你怎样说呢?"
6 他们说这话是要试探耶稣, 要找把柄来控告他。耶稣却弯下身, 用指头在地上写字。
7 他们不住地问耶稣, 他就挺起身来, 说: "你们中间谁是没有罪的, 他就可以先拿起石头打她。"
8 于是又弯下身在地上写字。
9 他们听了这话, 就从年老的开始, 一个一个地都离开了, 留下的只有耶稣和那个还站在那里的妇人。
10 耶稣挺起身来, 问她: "妇人, 他们在哪里?没有人定你的罪吗?"
11 她说: "主啊! 没有。"耶稣说: "我也不定你的罪。走吧, 从现在起不要再犯罪了。"
12 耶稣又对众人说: "我是世界的光, 跟从我的, 必定不在黑暗里走, 却要得着生命的光。"
13 法利赛人对他说: "你为自己作证, 你的见证不是真实的。"
14 耶稣回答: "即使我为自己作证, 我的见证还是真实的, 因为我知道我从哪里来, 往哪里去, 但你们却不知道我从哪里来, 往哪里去。
15 你们按着外貌判断人, 我却不判断人。
16 即使我判断人, 我的判断也是正确的, 因为我不是独自一人, 而是差我来的父和我在一起。
17 你们的律法上也写着: ‘两个人的见证才是真的。’
18 我为自己作证, 差我来的父也为我作证。"
19 他们问: "你的父在哪里?"耶稣回答: "你们不认识我, 也不认识我的父; 如果你们认识我, 也就认识我的父了。"
20 这些话是耶稣在殿里教导人的时候, 在银库的院中说的。当时没有人逮捕他, 因为他的时候还没有到。
21 耶稣又对他们说: "我要去了, 你们要寻找我, 并且要在自己的罪中死亡; 我去的地方, 你们不能到。"
22 于是犹太人说: "他说‘我去的地方, 你们不能到’, 难道他要自杀吗?"
23 耶稣说: "你们是从地上来的, 我是从天上来的; 你们属这世界, 我却不属这世界,
24 所以我对你们说, 你们要在自己的罪中死亡; 你们若不信我就是‘那一位’, 就要在自己的罪中死亡。"
25 他们就问: "你是谁?"耶稣说: "我不是从起初就告诉你们吗?
26 关于你们, 我有许多事要说, 要判断; 但那差我来的是真实的, 我从他那里听见的, 就告诉世人。"
27 他们不明白耶稣是对他们讲论父的事。
28 所以耶稣说: "你们举起了人子以后, 必定知道我就是‘那一位’, 并且知道我不凭着自己作什么事; 我说的这些话, 是照着父所教导我的。
29 那差我来的和我同在, 他没有留下我独自一人, 因为我常作他喜悦的事。"
30 耶稣说这些话的时候, 就有许多人信了他。
31 于是耶稣对信了他的犹太人说: "你们若持守我的道, 就真是我的门徒了;
32 你们必定认识真理, 真理必定使你们自由。"
33 他们说: "我们是亚伯拉罕的后裔, 从来没有被谁奴役过, 你怎么说‘你们必得自由’呢?"
34 耶稣说: "我实实在在告诉你们, 凡犯罪的都是罪的奴隶。
35 奴隶不能永远住在家里, 唯有儿子才可以永远住在家里。
36 所以, 神的儿子若使你们自由, 你们就真的得自由了。
37 我知道你们是亚伯拉罕的后裔; 但你们想杀我, 因为你们心里不能容纳我的道。
38 我所说的, 是我在父那里看见的; 但你们所作的, 却是从你们的父那里听见的。"
39 他们说: "我们的祖宗是亚伯拉罕。"耶稣说: "你们若是亚伯拉罕的子孙, 就必作亚伯拉罕所作的。
40 现在我把从 神那里听见的真理告诉了你们, 你们竟然想杀我, 这不是亚伯拉罕所作的。
41 你们要作的, 正是你们的父要作的。"他们说: "我们不是从淫乱生的; 我们只有一位父, 就是 神。"
42 耶稣说: "如果 神是你们的父, 你们就必爱我, 因为我是从 神那里来的; 我已经来到这里。我不是凭着自己来的, 而是 神差了我来。
43 你们为什么不明白我的话呢?因为我的道你们听不进去。
44 你们是出于你们的父魔鬼, 喜欢按着你们的父的私欲行事。他从起初就是杀人的凶手, 不守真理, 因为他心里没有真理。他说谎是出于本性, 因为他本来就是说谎者, 也是说谎的人的父。
45 我讲真理, 你们却因此不信我。
46 你们中间有谁能指证我有罪呢?我既然讲真理, 你们为什么不信我呢?
47 出于 神的, 就听 神的话; 你们不听, 因为你们不是出于 神的。"
48 犹太人对耶稣说: "我们说你是撒玛利亚人, 并且是鬼附的, 不是很对吗?"
49 耶稣回答: "我不是鬼附的。我尊敬我的父, 你们却侮辱我。
50 我不求自己的荣耀, 但有一位是为我求荣耀, 并且是审判人的。
51 我实实在在告诉你们, 人若遵守我的道, 必定永远不见死亡。"
52 犹太人对他说: "现在我们知道你的确是鬼附的。亚伯拉罕死了, 先知们也死了, 你还说‘人若遵守我的道, 必定永远不尝死味’,
53 难道你比我们的祖宗亚伯拉罕还大吗?他死了, 先知们也死了; 你把自己当作什么人呢?"
54 耶稣回答: "如果我荣耀自己, 我的荣耀就算不得什么; 那使我得荣耀的是我的父, 就是你们说是你们的 神的那一位。
55 可是你们不认识他, 我却认识他。如果我说我不认识他, 我就像你们一样是说谎的; 然而我认识他, 也遵守他的道。
56 你们的祖宗亚伯拉罕, 因为可以看见我的日子就欢喜, 既然看见了, 他就很快乐。"
57 犹太人对他说: "你还不到五十岁, 怎会见过亚伯拉罕呢?"
58 耶稣说: "我实实在在告诉你们, 亚伯拉罕出生以前, 我已经存在了。"
59 于是他们拿起石头要打他。耶稣却躲起来, 从殿里出去了。
