John 8

1 Christ delivereth the woman taken in adultery. 12 He preacheth himself the light of the world, and justifieth his doctrine: 33 answereth the Jews that boasted of Abraham, 59 and conveyeth himself from their cruelty.

 8:1 ¶ 1161 Jesus 2424 went 4198 z5675 unto 1519 the x3588 mount 3735 of Olives. 1636

 8:2 And 1161 early in the morning 3722 he came 3854 z5633 again 3825 into 1519 the x3588 temple, 2411 and 2532 all 3956 the x3588 people 2992 came 2064 z5711 unto 4314 him; 846 and 2532 he sat down, 2523 z5660 and taught 1321 z5707 them. 846

 8:3 And 1161 the x3588 scribes 1122 and 2532 Pharisees 5330 brought 71 z5719 unto 4314 him 846 a woman 1135 taken 2638 z5772 in 1722 adultery; 3430 and 2532 when they had set 2476 z5660 her 846 in 1722 the midst, 3319

 8:4 They say 3004 z5719 unto him, 846 Master, 1320 this 3778 woman 1135 was taken 2638 z5681 in adultery, 3431 z5746 in the very act. 1888

 8:5 Now 1161 Moses 3475 in 1722 the x3588 law 3551 commanded 1781 z5662 us, 2254 that such 5108 should be stoned: 3036 z5745 but 3767 what 5101 sayest 3004 z5719 thou? 4771

 8:6 1161 This 5124 they said, 3004 z5707 tempting 3985 z5723 him, 846 that 2443 they might have 2192 z5725 to accuse 2723 z5721 him. 846 But 1161 Jesus 2424 stooped 2955 z5660 down, 2736 and with [his] finger 1147 wrote 1125 z5707 on 1519 the x3588 ground, 1093 [as though he heard 4364 z5740 them not]. 3361

 8:7 So 1161 when 5613 they continued 1961 z5707 asking 2065 z5723 him, 846 he lifted up x352 himself, y352 z5660 and said 2036 z5627 unto 4314 them, 846 He that is without sin 361 among you, 5216 let him y906 z0 first 4413 cast 906 z5628 a stone 3037 at 1909 her. 846

 8:8 And 2532 again 3825 he stooped 2955 z5660 down, 2736 and wrote 1125 z5707 on 1519 the x3588 ground. 1093

 8:9 And 1161 they which heard 191 z5660 [it], y2532 being x2532 convicted 1651 z5746 by 5259 [their own] conscience, 4893 went out 1831 z5711 one by one, 1527 beginning 756 z5671 at 575 the x3588 eldest, 4245 [even] unto 2193 the x3588 last: 2078 and 2532 Jesus 2424 was left 2641 z5681 alone, 3441 and 2532 the x3588 woman 1135 standing 2476 z5761 in 1722 the midst. 3319

 8:10 When 1161 Jesus 2424 had lifted up x352 himself, y352 z5660 and 2532 saw 2300 z5666 none 3367 but 4133 the x3588 woman, 1135 he said 2036 z5627 unto her, 846 Woman, 1135 where 4226 are 1526 z5748 those 1565 thine 4675 accusers? 2725 hath y2632 z0 no man 3762 condemned 2632 z5656 thee? 4571

 8:11 1161 She x3588 said, 2036 z5627 No man, 3762 Lord. 2962 And 1161 Jesus 2424 said 2036 z5627 unto her, 846 Neither 3761 do y2632 z0 I 1473 condemn 2632 z5719 thee: 4571 go, 4198 z5737 and 2532 sin 264 z5720 no more. 3371

 8:12 ¶ Then 3767 spake 2980 z5656 Jesus 2424 again 3825 unto them, 846 saying, 3004 z5723 I 1473 am 1510 z5748 the x3588 light 5457 of the x3588 world: 2889 he that followeth 190 z5723 me 1698 shall y4043 z0 not 3364 walk 4043 z5692 in 1722 darkness, 4653 but 235 shall have 2192 z5692 the x3588 light 5457 of life. 2222

 8:13 The x3588 Pharisees 5330 therefore 3767 said 2036 z5627 unto him, 846 Thou 4771 bearest record 3140 z5719 of 4012 thyself; 4572 thy 4675 record 3141 is 2076 z5748 not 3756 true. 227

 8:14 Jesus 2424 answered 611 z5662 and 2532 said 2036 z5627 unto them, 846 Though 2579 I 1473 bear record 3140 z5725 of 4012 myself, 1683 [yet] my 3450 record 3141 is 2076 z5748 true: 227 for 3754 I know 1492 z5758 whence 4159 I came, 2064 z5627 and 2532 whither 4226 I go; 5217 z5719 but 1161 ye 5210 cannot y3756 tell 1492 z5758 x3756 whence 4159 I come, 2064 z5736 and 2532 whither 4226 I go. 5217 z5719

 8:15 Ye 5210 judge 2919 z5719 after 2596 the x3588 flesh; 4561 I 1473 judge 2919 z5719 no y3756 man. 3762

 8:16 And y1161 x2532 yet y2532 x1161 if 1437 I 1473 judge, 2919 z5725 my 1699 judgment 2920 is 2076 z5748 true: 227 for 3754 I am 1510 z5748 not 3756 alone, 3441 but 235 I 1473 and 2532 the x3588 Father 3962 that sent 3992 z5660 me. 3165

 8:17 y2532 It is y1125 z0 x2532 also 1161 written 1125 z5769 in 1722 your 5212 law, 3551 that 3754 the x3588 testimony 3141 of two 1417 men 444 is 2076 z5748 true. 227

 8:18 I 1473 am 1510 z5748 one that bear witness 3140 z5723 of 4012 myself, 1683 and 2532 the x3588 Father 3962 that x3588 sent 3992 z5660 me 3165 beareth witness 3140 z5719 of 4012 me. 1700

 8:19 Then 3767 said x3004 they y3004 z5707 unto him, 846 Where 4226 is 2076 z5748 thy 4675 Father? 3962 Jesus 2424 answered, 611 z5662 Ye y1492 z0 neither 3777 know 1492 z5758 me, 1691 nor 3777 my 3450 Father: 3962 if 1487 ye had known 1492 z5715 me, 1691 y2532 ye should have known 1492 z5715 x302 my 3450 Father 3962 also. y302 x2532

 8:20 These 5023 words 4487 spake 2980 z5656 Jesus 2424 in 1722 the x3588 treasury, 1049 as he taught 1321 z5723 in 1722 the x3588 temple: 2411 and 2532 no man 3762 laid hands y4084 z5656 on x4084 him; 846 for 3754 his 846 hour 5610 was y2064 z0 not yet 3768 come. 2064 z5715

 8:21 Then 3767 said 2036 z5627 Jesus 2424 again 3825 unto them, 846 I 1473 go my way, 5217 z5719 and 2532 ye shall seek 2212 z5692 me, 3165 and 2532 shall die 599 z5695 in 1722 your 5216 sins: 266 whither 3699 I 1473 go, 5217 z5719 ye 5210 cannot 3756 1410 z5736 come. 2064 z5629

 8:22 Then 3767 said 3004 z5707 the x3588 Jews, 2453 Will x3385 he kill 615 y3385 z5692 himself? 1438 because 3754 he saith, 3004 z5719 Whither 3699 I 1473 go, 5217 z5719 ye 5210 cannot 3756 1410 z5736 come. 2064 z5629

 8:23 And 2532 he said 2036 z5627 unto them, 846 Ye 5210 are 2075 z5748 from 1537 beneath; 2736 I 1473 am 1510 z5748 from 1537 above: 507 ye 5210 are 2075 z5748 of 1537 this 5127 world; 2889 I 1473 am 1510 z5748 not 3756 of 1537 this 5127 world. 2889

 8:24 I said 2036 z5627 therefore 3767 unto you, 5213 that 3754 ye shall die 599 z5695 in 1722 your 5216 sins: 266 for 1063 if y3362 z0 x1437 ye believe 4100 z5661 not y3362 x3361 that 3754 I 1473 am 1510 z5748 [he], ye shall die 599 z5695 in 1722 your 5216 sins. 266

 8:25 Then 3767 said x3004 they y3004 z5707 unto him, 846 Who 5101 art 1488 z5748 thou? 4771 And 2532 Jesus 2424 saith 2036 z5627 unto them, 846 Even 2532 y3748 [the same] that x3748 I said 2980 z5719 unto you 5213 from the x3588 beginning. 746

 8:26 I have 2192 z5719 many things 4183 to say 2980 z5721 and 2532 to judge 2919 z5721 of 4012 you: 5216 but 235 he that sent 3992 z5660 me 3165 is 2076 z5748 true; 227 and I 2504 speak 3004 z5719 to 1519 the x3588 world 2889 those things 5023 which 3739 I have heard 191 z5656 of 3844 him. 846

 8:27 They understood 1097 z5627 not 3756 that 3754 he spake 3004 z5707 to them 846 of the x3588 Father. 3962

 8:28 Then y5119 x3767 said 2036 z5627 Jesus 2424 unto them, 846 When 3752 ye have lifted up 5312 z5661 the x3588 Son 5207 of man, 444 then y3767 x5119 shall ye know 1097 z5695 that 3754 I 1473 am 1510 z5748 [he], and 2532 [that] I do 4160 z5719 nothing 3762 of 575 myself; 1683 but 235 as 2531 my 3450 Father 3962 hath taught 1321 z5656 me, 3165 I speak 2980 z5719 these things. 5023

 8:29 And 2532 he that sent 3992 z5660 me 3165 is 2076 z5748 with 3326 me: 1700 the x3588 Father 3962 hath y863 z0 not 3756 left 863 z5656 me 3165 alone; 3441 for 3754 I 1473 do 4160 z5719 always 3842 those things that please 701 him. 846

 8:30 As he 846 spake 2980 z5723 these words, 5023 many 4183 believed 4100 z5656 on 1519 him. 846

 8:31 Then 3767 said 3004 z5707 Jesus 2424 to 4314 those Jews 2453 which y3588 believed 4100 z5761 on him, 846 If 1437 ye 5210 continue 3306 z5661 in 1722 my 1699 word, 3056 [then] are x2075 ye y2075 z5748 my 3450 disciples 3101 indeed; 230

 8:32 And 2532 ye shall know 1097 z5695 the x3588 truth, 225 and 2532 the x3588 truth 225 shall make y1659 z0 you y5209 free. 1659 z5692 x5209

 8:33 ¶ They answered 611 z5662 him, 846 We be 2070 z5748 Abraham's 11 seed, 4690 and 2532 were y1398 z0 never y4455 in bondage 1398 z5758 x4455 to any man: 3762 how 4459 sayest 3004 z5719 thou, 4771 y3754 Ye shall be made 1096 z5695 free? 1658

 8:34 Jesus 2424 answered 611 z5662 them, 846 Verily, 281 verily, 281 I say 3004 z5719 unto you, 5213 y3754 Whosoever 3956 committeth 4160 z5723 sin 266 is 2076 z5748 the servant 1401 of sin. 266

 8:35 And 1161 the x3588 servant 1401 abideth 3306 z5719 not 3756 in 1722 the x3588 house 3614 for y1519 ever: 165 x1519 [but] the x3588 Son 5207 abideth 3306 z5719 y1519 ever. 165 x1519

 8:36 If 1437 the x3588 Son 5207 therefore 3767 shall make y1659 z0 you y5209 free, 1659 z5661 x5209 ye shall be 2071 z5704 free 1658 indeed. 3689

 8:37 I know 1492 z5758 that 3754 ye are 2075 z5748 Abraham's 11 seed; 4690 but 235 ye seek 2212 z5719 to kill 615 z5658 me, 3165 because 3754 my 1699 word 3056 hath y5562 z0 no y3756 place 5562 z5719 x3756 in 1722 you. 5213

 8:38 I 1473 speak 2980 z5719 that which 3739 I have seen 3708 z5758 with 3844 my 3450 Father: 3962 and 2532 ye 5210 do 4160 z5719 that y3767 which 3739 ye have x3767 seen 3708 z5758 with 3844 your 5216 father. 3962

 8:39 They answered 611 z5662 and 2532 said 2036 z5627 unto him, 846 Abraham 11 is 2076 z5748 our 2257 father. 3962 Jesus 2424 saith 3004 z5719 unto them, 846 If 1487 ye were 2258 z5713 Abraham's 11 children, 5043 ye would do 4160 302 z5707 the x3588 works 2041 of Abraham. 11

 8:40 But 1161 now 3568 ye seek 2212 z5719 to kill 615 z5658 me, 3165 a man 444 that 3739 hath told 2980 z5758 you 5213 the x3588 truth, 225 which 3739 I have heard 191 z5656 of 3844 God: 2316 this 5124 did 4160 z5656 not 3756 Abraham. 11

 8:41 Ye 5210 do 4160 z5719 the x3588 deeds 2041 of your 5216 father. y3962 Then 3767 x3962 said x2036 they y2036 z5627 to him, 846 We 2249 be y1080 z0 not 3756 born 1080 z5769 of 1537 fornication; 4202 we have 2192 z5719 one 1520 Father, 3962 [even] God. 2316

 8:42 Jesus 2424 y3767 said 2036 z5627 unto them, 846 If 1487 God 2316 were 2258 z5713 your 5216 Father, 3962 ye would y302 love 25 z5707 x302 me: 1691 for 1063 I 1473 proceeded forth 1831 z5627 and 2532 came 2240 z5719 from 1537 God; 2316 x1063 neither 3761 y1063 came x2064 I y2064 z5754 of 575 myself, 1683 but 235 he 1565 sent 649 z5656 me. 3165

 8:43 Why 1302 do ye y1097 z0 not 3756 understand 1097 z5719 my 1699 speech? 2981 [even] because 3754 ye cannot 3756 1410 z5736 hear 191 z5721 my 1699 word. 3056

 8:44 Ye 5210 are 2075 z5748 of 1537 [your] father 3962 the x3588 devil, 1228 and 2532 the x3588 lusts 1939 of your 5216 father 3962 ye will 2309 z5719 do. 4160 z5721 He 1565 was 2258 z5713 a murderer 443 from 575 the beginning, 746 and 2532 abode 2476 z5707 z5758 not 3756 in 1722 the x3588 truth, 225 because 3754 there is 2076 z5748 no 3756 truth 225 in 1722 him. 846 When 3752 he speaketh 2980 z5725 a lie, 5579 he speaketh 2980 z5719 of 1537 his own: 2398 for 3754 he is 2076 z5748 a liar, 5583 and 2532 the x3588 father 3962 of it. 846

 8:45 And 1161 because 3754 I 1473 tell 3004 z5719 [you] the x3588 truth, 225 ye believe 4100 z5719 me 3427 not. 3756

 8:46 Which 5101 of 1537 you 5216 convinceth 1651 z5719 me 3165 of 4012 sin? 266 And 1161 if 1487 I say 3004 z5719 the truth, 225 why 1302 do y4100 z0 ye 5210 not 3756 believe 4100 z5719 me? 3427

 8:47 He that is 5607 z5752 of 1537 God 2316 heareth 191 z5719 God's 2316 words: 4487 ye 5210 therefore 5124 1223 hear 191 z5719 [them] not, 3756 because 3754 ye are 2075 z5748 not 3756 of 1537 God. 2316

 8:48 Then 3767 answered 611 z5662 the x3588 Jews, 2453 and 2532 said 2036 z5627 unto him, 846 Say 3004 z5719 we 2249 not 3756 well 2573 that 3754 thou 4771 art 1488 z5748 a Samaritan, 4541 and 2532 hast 2192 z5719 a devil? 1140

 8:49 Jesus 2424 answered, 611 z5662 I 1473 have 2192 z5719 not 3756 a devil; 1140 but 235 I honour 5091 z5719 my 3450 Father, 3962 and 2532 ye 5210 do dishonour 818 z5719 me. 3165

 8:50 And 1161 I 1473 seek 2212 z5719 not 3756 mine own 3450 glory: 1391 there is 2076 z5748 one that seeketh 2212 z5723 and 2532 judgeth. 2919 z5723

 8:51 Verily, 281 verily, 281 I say 3004 z5719 unto you, 5213 If 1437 a man 5100 keep 5083 z5661 my 1699 saying, 3056 he shall y2334 z0 never 3364 1519 165 see 2334 z5661 death. 2288

 8:52 Then 3767 said 2036 z5627 the x3588 Jews 2453 unto him, 846 Now 3568 we know 1097 z5758 that 3754 thou hast 2192 z5719 a devil. 1140 Abraham 11 is dead, 599 z5627 and 2532 the x3588 prophets; 4396 and 2532 thou 4771 sayest, 3004 z5719 If 1437 a man 5100 keep 5083 z5661 my 3450 saying, 3056 he shall y1089 z0 never 3364 1519 165 taste 1089 z5695 of death. 2288

 8:53 Art 3361 1488 z5748 thou 4771 greater x3187 than y3187 our 2257 father 3962 Abraham, 11 which 3748 is dead? 599 z5627 and 2532 the x3588 prophets 4396 are dead: 599 z5627 whom 5101 makest 4160 z5719 thou 4771 thyself? 4572

 8:54 Jesus 2424 answered, 611 z5662 If 1437 I 1473 honour 1392 z5719 myself, 1683 my 3450 honour 1391 is 2076 z5748 nothing: 3762 it is 2076 z5748 my 3450 Father 3962 that honoureth 1392 z5723 me; 3165 of whom 3739 ye 5210 say, 3004 z5719 that 3754 he is 2076 z5748 your 5216 God: 2316

 8:55 Yet 2532 ye have y1097 z0 not 3756 known 1097 z5758 him; 846 but 1161 I y1473 know 1492 z5758 him: 846 and 2532 if 1437 I should say, 2036 z5632 y3754 I x3754 know 1492 z5758 him 846 not, 3756 I shall be 2071 z5704 a liar 5583 like y3664 unto x3664 you: 5216 but 235 I know 1492 z5758 him, 846 and 2532 keep 5083 z5719 his 846 saying. 3056

 8:56 Your 5216 father 3962 Abraham 11 rejoiced 21 z5662 to 2443 see 1492 z5632 my 1699 day: 2250 and 2532 he saw 1492 z5627 [it], and 2532 was glad. 5463 z5644

 8:57 Then 3767 said 2036 z5627 the x3588 Jews 2453 unto 4314 him, 846 Thou art 2192 z5719 not yet 3768 fifty 4004 years old, 2094 and 2532 hast thou seen 3708 z5758 Abraham? 11

 8:58 Jesus 2424 said 2036 z5627 unto them, 846 Verily, 281 verily, 281 I say 3004 z5719 unto you, 5213 Before 4250 Abraham 11 was, 1096 z5635 I 1473 am. 1510 z5748

 8:59 Then 3767 took they up 142 z5656 stones 3037 to y2443 x2433 cast 906 z5632 at 1909 him: 846 but 1161 Jesus 2424 hid x2928 himself, y2928 z5648 and 2532 went 1831 z5627 out of 1537 the x3588 temple, 2411 going 1330 z5631 through 1223 the midst 3319 of them, 846 and 2532 so 3779 passed by. 3855 z5707
