1 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.

2 Now very early in the morning, he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him. He sat down and taught them. 3 The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery. Having set her in the middle, 4 they told him, "Teacher, we found this woman in adultery, in the very act. 5 Now in our law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. What then do you say about her?" 6 They said this testing him, that they might have something to accuse him of.

But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger. 7 But when they continued asking him, he looked up and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him throw the first stone at her." 8 Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger.

9 They, when they heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning from the oldest, even to the last. Jesus was left alone with the woman where she was, in the middle. 10 Jesus, standing up, saw her and said, "Woman, where are your accusers? Did no one condemn you?"

11 She said, "No one, Lord."

Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you. Go your way. From now on, sin no more."

12 Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life."

13 The Pharisees therefore said to him, "You testify about yourself. Your testimony is not valid."

14 Jesus answered them, "Even if I testify about myself, my testimony is true, for I know where I came from, and where I am going; but you don’t know where I came from, or where I am going. 15 You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one. 16 Even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me. 17 It’s also written in your law that the testimony of two people is valid. 18 I am one who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me."

19 They said therefore to him, "Where is your Father?"

Jesus answered, "You know neither me nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father also." 20 Jesus spoke these words in the treasury, as he taught in the temple. Yet no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come. 21 Jesus said therefore again to them, "I am going away, and you will seek me, and you will die in your sins. Where I go, you can’t come."

22 The Jews therefore said, "Will he kill himself, because he says, ‘Where I am going, you can’t come’?"

23 He said to them, "You are from beneath. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world. 24 I said therefore to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am he, you will die in your sins."

25 They said therefore to him, "Who are you?"

Jesus said to them, "Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning. 26 I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you. However, he who sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these I say to the world."

27 They didn’t understand that he spoke to them about the Father. 28 Jesus therefore said to them, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and I do nothing of myself, but as my Father taught me, I say these things. 29 He who sent me is with me. The Father hasn’t left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him."

30 As he spoke these things, many believed in him. 31 Jesus therefore said to those Jews who had believed him, "If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples. 32 You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free."

33 They answered him, "We are Abraham’s offspring, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How do you say, ‘You will be made free’?"

34 Jesus answered them, "Most certainly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the bondservant of sin. 35 A bondservant doesn’t live in the house forever. A son remains forever. 36 If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed. 37 I know that you are Abraham’s offspring, yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you. 38 I say the things which I have seen with my Father; and you also do the things which you have seen with your father."

39 They answered him, "Our father is Abraham."

Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham. 40 But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham didn’t do this. 41 You do the works of your father."

They said to him, "We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, God."

42 Therefore Jesus said to them, "If God were your father, you would love me, for I came out and have come from God. For I haven’t come of myself, but he sent me. 43 Why don’t you understand my speech? Because you can’t hear my word. 44 You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn’t stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and the father of lies. 45 But because I tell the truth, you don’t believe me. 46 Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me? 47 He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you don’t hear, because you are not of God."

48 Then the Jews answered him, "Don’t we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?"

49 Jesus answered, "I don’t have a demon, but I honor my Father and you dishonor me. 50 But I don’t seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and judges. 51 Most certainly, I tell you, if a person keeps my word, he will never see death."

52 Then the Jews said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, as did the prophets; and you say, ‘If a man keeps my word, he will never taste of death.’ 53 Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? The prophets died. Who do you make yourself out to be?"

54 Jesus answered, "If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say that he is our God. 55 You have not known him, but I know him. If I said, ‘I don’t know him,’ I would be like you, a liar. But I know him and keep his word. 56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day. He saw it and was glad."

57 The Jews therefore said to him, "You are not yet fifty years old! Have you seen Abraham?"

58 Jesus said to them, "Most certainly, I tell you, before Abraham came into existence, I AM."

59 Therefore they took up stones to throw at him, but Jesus was hid himself and went out of the temple, having gone through the middle 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。
