1 Mutta Jeesus meni Öljymäelle.

2 Ja varhain aamulla hän taas saapui pyhäkköön, ja kaikki kansa tuli hänen luoksensa; ja hän istuutui ja opetti heitä.

3 Silloin kirjanoppineet ja fariseukset toivat hänen luoksensa aviorikoksesta kiinniotetun naisen, asettivat hänet keskelle

6 Mutta sen he sanoivat kiusaten häntä, päästäkseen häntä syyttämään. Silloin Jeesus kumartui alas ja kirjoitti sormellaan maahan.

8 Ja taas hän kumartui alas ja kirjoitti maahan.

9 Kun he tämän kuulivat ja heidän omatuntonsa todisti heidät syyllisiksi, menivät he pois, toinen toisensa perästä, vanhimmista alkaen viimeisiin asti; ja siihen jäi ainoastaan Jeesus sekä nainen, joka seisoi hänen edessään.

15 Te tuomitsette lihan mukaan; minä en tuomitse ketään.

16 Ja vaikka minä tuomitsisinkin, niin minun tuomioni olisi oikea, sillä minä en ole yksinäni, vaan minä ja hän, joka on minut lähettänyt.

17 Onhan teidän laissannekin kirjoitettuna, että kahden ihmisen todistus on pätevä.

20 Nämä sanat Jeesus puhui uhriarkun ääressä, opettaessaan pyhäkössä; eikä kukaan ottanut häntä kiinni, sillä hänen hetkensä ei ollut vielä tullut.

27 Mutta he eivät ymmärtäneet, että hän puhui heille Isästä.

30 Kun hän näin puhui, uskoivat monet häneen.

35 Mutta orja ei pysy talossa iäti; Poika pysyy iäti.

36 Jos siis Poika tekee teidät vapaiksi, niin te tulette todellisesti vapaiksi.

37 Minä tiedän, että te olette Aabrahamin jälkeläisiä; mutta te tavoittelette minua tappaaksenne, koska minun sanani ei saa tilaa teissä.

40 Mutta nyt te tavoittelette minua tappaaksenne, miestä, joka on puhunut teille totuuden, jonka hän on kuullut Jumalalta. Niin ei Aabraham tehnyt.

43 Minkätähden te ette ymmärrä minun puhettani? Sentähden, että te ette kärsi kuulla minun sanaani.

44 Te olette isästä perkeleestä, ja isänne himoja te tahdotte noudattaa. Hän on ollut murhaaja alusta asti, ja totuudessa hän ei pysy, koska hänessä ei totuutta ole. Kun hän puhuu valhetta, niin hän puhuu omaansa, sillä hän on valhettelija ja sen isä.

45 Mutta minua te ette usko, sentähden että minä sanon totuuden.

46 Kuka teistä voi näyttää minut syypääksi syntiin? Jos minä totuutta puhun, miksi ette minua usko?

50 Mutta minä en etsi omaa kunniaani; yksi on, joka etsii ja tuomitsee.

55 ettekä tunne häntä; mutta minä tunnen hänet. Ja jos sanoisin, etten tunne häntä, niin minä olisin valhettelija niinkuin tekin; mutta minä tunnen hänet ja pidän hänen sanansa.

59 Silloin he poimivat kiviä heittääksensä häntä niillä; mutta Jeesus lymysi ja lähti pyhäköstä.

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.
