Verse 1 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. Verse 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. Verse 3 The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery. Having set her in the midst, Verse 4 they told him, "Teacher, we found this woman in adultery, in the very act. Verse 5 Now in the Law, Moses commanded us to stone such. What then do you say about her?" Verse 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. Verse 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." Verse 8 Again he stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground. Verse 9 They, when they heard it, 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. Verse 10 Jesus, standing up, said to her, "Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?" Verse 11 She said, "No one, Lord." Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you. Go your way. From now on, sin no more." Verse 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." Verse 13 The Pharisees therefore said to him, "You testify about yourself. Your testimony is not valid." Verse 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 do not know where I came from, or where I am going. Verse 15 You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one. Verse 16 Even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me. Verse 17 It's also written in your Law that the testimony of two people is valid. Verse 18 I am one who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me." Verse 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." Verse 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. Verse 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 cannot come." Verse 22 The Jewish leaders therefore said, "Will he kill himself, that he says, 'Where I am going, you cannot come?'" Verse 23 He said to them, "You are from beneath. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world. Verse 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." Verse 25 They said therefore to him, "Who are you?" Jesus said to them, "Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning. Verse 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." Verse 27 They did not understand that he spoke to them about the Father. Verse 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 the Father taught me, I say these things. Verse 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." Verse 30 As he spoke these things, many believed in him. Verse 31 Jesus therefore said to those Judeans who had believed him, "If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples. Verse 32 You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free." Verse 33 They answered him, "We are Abraham's seed, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can you say, 'You will be made free?'" Verse 34 Jesus answered them, "Truly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the bondservant of sin. Verse 35 A bondservant does not live in the house forever. A son remains forever. Verse 36 If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed. Verse 37 I know that you are Abraham's seed, yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you. Verse 38 I say the things which I have seen with my Father; and you also do the things which you have heard from your father." Verse 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. Verse 40 But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God. Abraham did not do this. Verse 41 You do the works of your father." They said to him, "We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, God." Verse 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 have not come of myself, but he sent me. Verse 43 Why do you not understand my speech? Because you cannot hear my word. Verse 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 does not 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 its father. Verse 45 But because I tell the truth, you do not believe me. Verse 46 Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me? Verse 47 He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you do not hear, because you are not of God." Verse 48 Then the Judeans answered him, "Do not we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?" Verse 49 Jesus answered, "I do not have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me. Verse 50 But I do not seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and judges. Verse 51 Truly, truly, I tell you, if a person keeps my word, he will never see death." Verse 52 Then the Judeans said to him, "Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and you say, 'If a man keeps my word, he will never taste of death.' Verse 53 Are you greater than our father, Abraham, who died? The prophets died. Who do you make yourself out to be?" Verse 54 Jesus answered, "If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say 'He is our God.' Verse 55 You have not known him, but I know him. If I said, 'I do not know him,' I would be like you, a liar. But I know him, and keep his word. Verse 56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day. He saw it, and was glad." Verse 57 The Judeans therefore said to him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?" Verse 58 Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I tell you, before Abraham came into existence, I AM." Verse 59 Therefore they took up stones to throw at him, but Jesus was hidden, and went out of the temple.
