| New English Bible | John:8 | Novum Testamentum Graece (UBS.Ed.26) | ||
| 1 | (7:53) AND THEY WENT each to his home, (8:1) and Jesus to the Mount of Olives. | Jesus the Light of the World Jn.8.1-20 (Jerusalem) - | Ἰησοῦς δὲ ἐπορεύθη εἰς τὸ Ὄρος τῶν Ἐλαιῶν. | |
| 2 | At daybreak he appeared again in the temple, and all the people gathered round him. He had taken his seat and was engaged in teaching them | Ὄρθρου δὲ πάλιν παρεγένετο εἰς τὸ ἱερόν, καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἠρχετο πρὸς αὐτόν, καὶ καθίσας ἐδίδασκεν αὐτούς. | ||
| 3 | when the doctors of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught committing adultery. | ἀγουσιν δὲ οἱ γραμματεῖς καὶ οἱ Φαρισαῖοι γυναῖκα ἐπὶ μοιχείᾳ κατειλημμένην, καὶ στήσαντες αὐτὴν ἐν μέσῳ | ||
| 4 | Making her stand out in the middle they said to him, 'Master, this woman was caught in the very act of adultery. | λέγουσιν αὐτῷ, Διδάσκαλε, αὑτη ἡ γυνὴ κατείληπται ἐπ' αὐτοφώρῳ μοιχευομένη· | ||
| 5 | In the Law Moses has laid down that such women are to be stoned. What do you say about it?' | ἐν δὲ τῷ νόμῳ ἡμῖν Μωϋσῆς ἐνετείλατο τὰς τοιαύτας λιθάζειν· σὺ οὖν τί λέγεις; | ||
| 6 | They put the question as a test, hoping to frame a charge against him. Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground. | τοῦτο δὲ ἐλεγον πειράζοντες αὐτόν, ἵνα ἐχωσιν κατηγορεῖν αὐτοῦ. ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς κάτω κύψας τῷ δακτύλῳ κατέγραφεν εἰς τὴν γῆν. | ||
| 7 | When they continued to press their question he sat up straight and said, 'That one of you who is faultless shall throw the first stone.' | ὡς δὲ ἐπέμενον ἐρωτῶντες , ἀνέκυψεν καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, Ὁ ἀναμάρτητος ὑμῶν πρῶτος ἐπ' αὐτὴν βαλέτω λίθον· | ||
| 8 | Then once again he bent down and wrote on the ground. | καὶ πάλιν κατακύψας ἐγραφεν εἰς τὴν γῆν. | ||
| 9 | When they heard what he said, one by one they went away, the eldest first; and Jesus was left alone, with the woman still standing there. | οἱ δὲ ἀκούσαντες ἐξήρχοντο εἷς καθ' εἷς ἀρξάμενοι ἀπὸ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων, καὶ κατελείφθη μόνος, καὶ ἡ γυνὴ ἐν μέσῳ οὖσα. | ||
| 10 | Jesus again sat up and said to the woman, 'Where are they? Has no one condemned you?' | ἀνακύψας δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῇ, Γύναι, ποῦ εἰσιν; οὐδείς σε κατέκρινεν; | ||
| 11 | 'No one, sir', she said. Jesus replied, 'No more do I. You may go; do not sin again.' | ἡ δὲ εἶπεν, Οὐδείς, κύριε. εἶπεν δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς, Οὐδὲ ἐγώ σε κατακρίνω· πορεύου, ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν μηκέτι ἀμάρτανε.]] | ||
| 12 | ONCE AGAIN JESUS addressed the people: 'I am the light of the world. No follower of mine shall wander in the dark; he shall have the light of life.' | Πάλιν οὖν αὐτοῖς ἐλάλησεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς λέγων, Ἐγώ εἰμι τὸ φῶς τοῦ κόσμου· ὁ ἀκολουθῶν ἐμοὶ οὐ μὴ περιπατήσῃ ἐν τῇ σκοτίᾳ, ἀλλ' ἑξει τὸ φῶς τῆς ζωῆς. | ||
| 13 | The Pharisees said to him, 'You are witness in your own cause; your testimony is not valid.' | εἶπον οὖν αὐτῷ οἱ Φαρισαῖοι, Σὺ περὶ σεαυτοῦ μαρτυρεῖς· ἡ μαρτυρία σου οὐκ ἐστιν ἀληθής. | ||
| 14 | Jesus replied, 'My testimony is valid, even though I do bear witness about myself; because I know where I come from, and where I am going. You do not know either where I come from or where I am going. | ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, Κἂν ἐγὼ μαρτυρῶ περὶ ἐμαυτοῦ, ἀληθής ἐστιν ἡ μαρτυρία μου, ὅτι οἶδα πόθεν ἦλθον καὶ ποῦ ὑπάγω· ὑμεῖς δὲ οὐκ οἰδατε πόθεν ἐρχομα ι ἢ ποῦ ὑπάγω. | ||
| 15 | You judge by worldly standards. I pass judgement on no man, | ὑμεῖς κατὰ τὴν σάρκα κρίνετε, ἐγὼ οὐ κρίνω οὐδένα. | ||
| 16 | but if I do judge, my judgement is valid because it is not I alone who judge, but I and he who sent me. | καὶ ἐὰν κρίνω δὲ ἐγώ, ἡ κρίσις ἡ ἐμὴ ἀληθινή ἐστιν, ὅτι μόνος οὐκ εἰμί, ἀλλ' ἐγὼ καὶ ὁ πέμψας με πατήρ. | ||
| 17 | In your own law it is written that the testimony of two witnesses is valid. | καὶ ἐν τῷ νόμῳ δὲ τῷ ὑμετέρῳ γέγραπται ὅτι δύο ἀνθρώπων ἡ μαρτυρία ἀληθής ἐστιν. | ||
| 18 | Here am I, a witness in my own cause, and my other witness is the Father who sent me.' They asked, | ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ μαρτυρῶν περὶ ἐμαυτοῦ καὶ μαρτυρεῖ περὶ ἐμοῦ ὁ πέμψας με πατήρ. | ||
| 19 | 'Where is your father?' Jesus replied, 'You know neither me nor my Father; if you knew me you would know my Father as well.' | ἐλεγον οὖν αὐτῷ, Ποῦ ἐστιν ὁ πατήρ σοὺ; ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς, Οὐτε ἐμὲ οἰδατε οὐτε τὸν πατέρα μου· εἰ ἐμὲ ᾐδειτε, καὶ τὸν πατέρα μου ἂν ᾐδειτε. | ||
| 20 | These words were spoken by Jesus in the treasury as he taught in the temple. Yet no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come. | Ταῦτα τὰ ῥήματα ἐλάλησεν ἐν τῷ γαζοφυλακίῳ διδάσκων ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ· καὶ οὐδεὶς ἐπίασεν αὐτόν, ὅτι οὐπω ἐληλύθει ἡ ὡρα αὐτοῦ. | ||
| 21 | Again he said to them, 'I am going away. You will look for me, but you will die in your sin; where I am going you cannot come.' | Where I am Going You Cannot Come Jn.8.21-30 (Jerusalem) - | Εἶπεν οὖν πάλιν αὐτοῖς, Ἐγὼ ὑπάγω καὶ ζητήσετέ με, καὶ ἐν τῇ ἀμαρτίᾳ ὑμῶν ἀποθανεῖσθε· ὁπου ἐγὼ ὑπάγω ὑμεῖς οὐ δύνασθε ἐλθεῖν. | |
| 22 | The Jews then said, 'Perhaps he will kill himself: is that what he means when he says, "Where I am going you cannot come"?' | ἐλεγον οὖν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι, Μήτι ἀποκτενεῖ ἑαυτόν, ὅτι λέγει, Ὅπου ἐγὼ ὑπάγω ὑμεῖς οὐ δύνασθε ἐλθεῖν; | ||
| 23 | So Jesus continued, 'You belong to this world below, I to the world above. Your home is in this world, mine is not. | καὶ ἐλεγεν αὐτοῖς, Ὑμεῖς ἐκ τῶν κάτω ἐστέ, ἐγὼ ἐκ τῶν ἀνω εἰμί· ὑμεῖς ἐκ τούτου τοῦ κόσμου ἐστέ, ἐγὼ οὐκ εἰμὶ ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου τούτου. | ||
| 24 | That is why I told you that you would die in your sins. If you do not believe that I am what I am, you will die in your sins.' | εἶπον οὖν ὑμῖν ὅτι ἀποθανεῖσθε ἐν ταῖς ἀμαρτίαις ὑμῶν· ἐὰν γὰρ μὴ πιστεύσητε ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι, ἀποθανεῖσθε ἐν ταῖς ἀμαρτίαις ὑμῶν. | ||
| 25 | They asked him, 'Who are you?' Jesus answered, 'Why should I speak to you at all? | ἐλεγον οὖν αὐτῷ, Σὺ τίς εἶ; εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς, Τὴν ἀρχὴν ὁ τι καὶ λαλῶ ὑμῖν; | ||
| 26 | I have much to say about you—and in judgement. But he who sent me speaks the truth, and what I heard from him I report to the world.' | πολλὰ ἐχω περὶ ὑμῶν λαλεῖν καὶ κρίνειν· ἀλλ' ὁ πέμψας με ἀληθής ἐστιν, κἀγὼ ἂ ἠκουσα παρ' αὐτοῦ ταῦτα λαλῶ εἰς τὸν κόσμον. | ||
| 27 | They did not understand that he was speaking to them about the Father. | οὐκ ἐγνωσαν ὅτι τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῖς ἐλεγεν. | ||
| 28 | So Jesus said to them, 'When you have lifted up the Son of Man you will know that I am what I am. I do nothing on my own authority, but in all that I say, I have been taught by my Father. | εἶπεν οὖν ὁ Ἰησοῦς, Ὅταν ὑψώσητε τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου, τότε γνώσεσθε ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι, καὶ ἀπ' ἐμαυτοῦ ποιῶ οὐδέν, ἀλλὰ καθὼς ἐδίδαξέν με ὁ πατὴρ ταῦτα λαλῶ. | ||
| 29 | He who sent me is present with me, and has not left me alone; for I always do what is acceptable to him.' | καὶ ὁ πέμψας με μετ' ἐμοῦ ἐστιν· οὐκ ἀφῆκέν με μόνον, ὅτι ἐγὼ τὰ ἀρεστὰ αὐτῷ ποιῶ πάντοτε. | ||
| 30 | As he said this, many put their faith in him. | Ταῦτα αὐτοῦ λαλοῦντος πολλοὶ ἐπίστευσαν εἰς αὐτόν. | ||
| 31 | Turning to the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, 'If you dwell within the revelation I have brought, you are indeed my disciples; | The Truth Will Make You Free Jn.8.31-38 (Jerusalem) - | Ἔλεγεν οὖν ὁ Ἰησοῦς πρὸς τοὺς πεπιστευκότας αὐτῷ Ἰουδαίους, Ἐὰν ὑμεῖς μείνητε ἐν τῷ λόγῳ τῷ ἐμῷ, ἀληθῶς μαθηταί μού ἐστε, | |
| 32 | you shall know the truth, and the truth will set you free.' | καὶ γνώσεσθε τὴν ἀλήθειαν, καὶ ἡ ἀλήθεια ἐλευθερώσει ὑμᾶς. | ||
| 33 | They replied, 'We are Abraham's descendants; we have never been in slavery to any man. What do you mean by saying, "You will become free men"?' | ἀπεκρίθησαν πρὸς αὐτόν, Σπέρμα Ἀβραάμ ἐσμεν καὶ οὐδενὶ δεδουλεύκαμεν πώποτε· πῶς σὺ λέγεις ὅτι Ἐλεύθεροι γενήσεσθὲ; | ||
| 34 | 'In very truth I tell you', said Jesus, 'that everyone who commits sin is a slave. | ἀπεκρίθη αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς, Ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι πᾶς ὁ ποιῶν τὴν ἀμαρτίαν δοῦλός ἐστιν . | ||
| 35 | The slave has no permanent standing in the household, but the son belongs to it for ever. | ὁ δὲ δοῦλος οὐ μένει ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα· ὁ υἱὸς μένει εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα. | ||
| 36 | If then the Son sets you free, you will indeed be free. | ἐὰν οὖν ὁ υἱὸς ὑμᾶς ἐλευθερώσῃ, ὀντως ἐλεύθεροι ἐσεσθε. | ||
| 37 | 'I know that you are descended from Abraham, but you are bent on killing me because my teaching makes no headway with you. | οἶδα ὅτι σπέρμα Ἀβραάμ ἐστε· ἀλλὰ ζητεῖτέ με ἀποκτεῖναι, ὅτι ὁ λόγος ὁ ἐμὸς οὐ χωρεῖ ἐν ὑμῖν. | ||
| 38 | I am revealing in words what I saw in my Father's presence; and you are revealing in action what you learned from your father.' | ἂ ἐγὼ ἑώρακα παρὰ τῷ πατρὶ λαλῶ· καὶ ὑμεῖς οὖν ἂ ἠκούσατε παρὰ τοῦ πατρὸς ποιεῖτε. | ||
| 39 | They ' retorted, 'Abraham is our father.' 'If you were Abraham's children', Jesus replied, 'you would do as Abraham did. | Your Father the Devil Jn.8.39-47 (Jerusalem) - | Ἀπεκρίθησαν καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ, Ὁ πατὴρ ἡμῶν Ἀβραάμ ἐστιν. λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς, Εἰ τέκνα τοῦ Ἀβραάμ ἐστε, τὰ ἐργα τοῦ Ἀβραὰμ ἐποιεῖτε· | |
| 40 | As it is, you are bent on killing me, a man who told you the truth, as I heard it from God. ' | νῦν δὲ ζητεῖτέ με ἀποκτεῖναι, ἄνθρωπον ὃς τὴν ἀλήθειαν ὑμῖν λελάληκα ἣν ἠκουσα παρὰ τοῦ θεοῦ· τοῦτο Ἀβραὰμ οὐκ ἐποίησεν. | ||
| 41 | That is not how Abraham acted. You are doing your own father's work.' They said, 'We are not base-born; God is our father, and God alone.' | ὑμεῖς ποιεῖτε τὰ ἐργα τοῦ πατρὸς ὑμῶν. εἶπαν αὐτῷ, Ἡμεῖς ἐκ πορνείας οὐ γεγεννήμεθα· ἑνα πατέρα ἐχομεν τὸν θεόν. | ||
| 42 | Jesus said, 'If God were your father, you would love me, for God is the source of my being, and from him I come. I have not come of my own accord; he sent me. | εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς, Εἰ ὁ θεὸς πατὴρ ὑμῶν ἦν, ἠγαπᾶτε ἂν ἐμέ, ἐγὼ γὰρ ἐκ τοῦ θεοῦ ἐξῆλθον καὶ ἡκω· οὐδὲ γὰρ ἀπ' ἐμαυτοῦ ἐλήλυθα, ἀλλ' ἐκεῖνός με ἀπέστειλεν. | ||
| 43 | Why do you not understand my language? It is because my revelation is beyond your grasp. | διὰ τί τὴν λαλιὰν τὴν ἐμὴν οὐ γινώσκετὲ; ὅτι οὐ δύνασθε ἀκούειν τὸν λόγον τὸν ἐμόν. | ||
| 44 | 'Your father is the devil and you choose to carry out your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and is not rooted in the truth; there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie he is speaking his own language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. | ὑμεῖς ἐκ τοῦ πατρὸς τοῦ διαβόλου ἐστὲ καὶ τὰς ἐπιθυμίας τοῦ πατρὸς ὑμῶν θέλετε ποιεῖν. ἐκεῖνος ἄνθρωποκτόνος ἦν ἀπ' ἀρχῆς, καὶ ἐν τῇ ἀληθείᾳ οὐκ ἐστηκεν, ὅτι οὐκ ἐστιν ἀλήθεια ἐν αὐτῷ. ὅταν λαλῇ τὸ ψεῦδος, ἐκ τῶν ἰδίων λαλεῖ, ὅτι ψεύστης ἐστὶν καὶ ὁ πατὴ | ||
| 45 | But I speak the truth and therefore you do not believe me. | ἐγὼ δὲ ὅτι τὴν ἀλήθειαν λέγω, οὐ πιστεύετέ μοι. | ||
| 46 | Which of you can prove me in the wrong? If what I say is true, why do you not believe me? | τίς ἐξ ὑμῶν ἐλέγχει με περὶ ἀμαρτίας; εἰ ἀλήθειαν λέγω, διὰ τί ὑμεῖς οὐ πιστεύετέ μοὶ; | ||
| 47 | He who has God for his father listens to the words of God. You are not God's children; that is why you do not listen.' | ὁ ὢν ἐκ τοῦ θεοῦ τὰ ῥήματα τοῦ θεοῦ ἀκούει· διὰ τοῦτο ὑμεῖς οὐκ ἀκούετε, ὅτι ἐκ τοῦ θεοῦ οὐκ ἐστέ. | ||
| 48 | The Jews answered, 'Are we not right in saying that you are a Samaritan, and that you are possessed?' | Before Abraham was, I am Jn.8.48-59 (Jerusalem) - | Ἀπεκρίθησαν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ, Οὐ καλῶς λέγομεν ἡμεῖς ὅτι Σαμαρίτης εἶ σὺ καὶ δαιμόνιον ἐχεις; | |
| 49 | 'I am not possessed,' said Jesus; 'the truth is that I am honouring my Father, but you dishonour me. | ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς, Ἐγὼ δαιμόνιον οὐκ ἐχω, ἀλλὰ τιμῶ τὸν πατέρα μου, καὶ ὑμεῖς ἀτιμάζετέ με. | ||
| 50 | I do not so care about my own glory; there is one who does care, and he is judge. | ἐγὼ δὲ οὐ ζητῶ τὴν δόξαν μου· ἐστιν ὁ ζητῶν καὶ κρίνων. | ||
| 51 | In very truth I tell you, if anyone obeys my teaching he shall never know what it is to die.' | ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ἐάν τις τὸν ἐμὸν λόγον τηρήσῃ, θάνατον οὐ μὴ θεωρήσῃ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα. | ||
| 52 | The Jews said, 'Now we are certain that you are possessed. Abraham is dead; the prophets are dead; and yet you say, "If anyone obeys my teaching he shall not know what it is to die." | εἶπον αὐτῷ οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι, Νῦν ἐγνώκαμεν ὅτι δαιμόνιον ἐχεις. Ἀβραὰμ ἀπέθανεν καὶ οἱ προφῆται, καὶ σὺ λέγεις, Ἐάν τις τὸν λόγον μου τηρήσῃ, οὐ μὴ γεύσηται θανάτου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα. | ||
| 53 | Are you greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? The prophets are dead too. What do you claim to be?' | μὴ σὺ μείζων εἶ τοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν Ἀβραάμ, ὁστις ἀπέθανεν; καὶ οἱ προφῆται ἀπέθανον· τίνα σεαυτὸν ποιεῖς; | ||
| 54 | Jesus replied, 'If I glorify myself, that glory of mine is worthless. It is the Father who glorifies me, he of whom you say, "He is our God", | ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς, Ἐὰν ἐγὼ δοξάσω ἐμαυτόν, ἡ δόξα μου οὐδέν ἐστιν· ἐστιν ὁ πατήρ μου ὁ δοξάζων με, ὃν ὑμεῖς λέγετε ὅτι θεὸς ἡμῶν ἐστιν· | ||
| 55 | though you do not know him. But I know him; if I said that I did not know him I should be a liar like you. But in truth I know him and obey his word. | καὶ οὐκ ἐγνώκατε αὐτόν, ἐγὼ δὲ οἶδα αὐτόν. κἂν εἰπω ὅτι οὐκ οἶδα αὐτόν, ἐσομαι ὁμοιος ὑμῖν ψεύστης· ἀλλὰ οἶδα αὐτὸν καὶ τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ τηρῶ. | ||
| 56 | 'Your father Abraham was overjoyed to see my day; he saw it and was glad.' | Ἀβραὰμ ὁ πατὴρ ὑμῶν ἠγαλλιάσατο ἵνα ἰδῃ τὴν ἡμέραν τὴν ἐμήν, καὶ εἶδεν καὶ ἐχάρη. | ||
| 57 | The Jews protested, 'You are not yet fifty years old. How can you have seen Abraham?' | εἶπον οὖν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι πρὸς αὐτόν, Πεντήκοντα ἐτη οὐπω ἐχεις καὶ Ἀβραὰμ ἑώρακας; | ||
| 58 | Jesus said, 'In very truth I tell you, before Abraham was born, I am.' | εἶπεν αὐτοῖς Ἰησοῦς, Ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, πρὶν Ἀβραὰμ γενέσθαι ἐγὼ εἰμί. | ||
| 59 | They picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus was not to be seen; and he left the temple. | ἦραν οὖν λίθους ἵνα βάλωσιν ἐπ' αὐτόν· Ἰησοῦς δὲ ἐκρύβη καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἐκ τοῦ ἱεροῦ. | ||
