1Iēsus de poreuita eis tem Orem taiu Elaiaiu.But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 2Orthrou de palin parageneta eis tem hierem, kai pantos tos laos archote kai kathizarantos didaskate autoin.Early in the morning He went back into the temple courts. All the people came to Him, and He sat down to teach them. 3agalō de tois grammatevois kai tois Farisaiois pros auton gunaikan en moicheia katalabirantan kai stēarantois autan en meseThe scribes and Pharisees, however, brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before them 4legalō auto, peirazarōntois Didaskalor, houtas tas gunaikas katalabita epi autofōro moicheuorōntasand said, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. 5en de to nomo Mōusos ni enteleta tain toioutain lithobolorō sis oun tinem legasō?In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such a woman. So what do You say?” 6houtem de legale peirazarōntois auton, hina echaleiō katēgorarō autou. tos de Iēsus katō kuptarantos to daktulo grafate eis tan gēan. mē prospoiorōntosThey said this to test Him, in order to have a basis for accusing Him. But Jesus bent down and began to write on the ground with His finger. 7hōs de epimenale erōtarōntois auton, anakuptarantos legata pros autoin Tos anamartētos vu prōtem epi autan ton lithon balatarWhen they continued to question Him, He straightened up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to cast a stone at her.” 8kai palin katō kuptarantos grafate eis tan gēan.And again He bent down and wrote on the ground. 9tois de akouarantois kai hupo tau suneidēsiau elenchorōntois exerchole henos kata henos archerantois apo toiu presbuteroiu, kai kataleipita monos, tos Iēsus kai tas gunaikas en mese arōntas.When they heard this, they began to go away one by one, beginning with the older ones, until only Jesus was left, with the woman standing there. 10anakuptarantos de tos Iēsus kai mēdenon theaserantos plēn tau gunaikau legata auta, pou alō? ekeinois tois katēgorois su oudenos sin katakrinata?Then Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are your accusers? Has no one condemned you?” 11tas de legata, Oudenos, kurior. legata de tos Iēsus, Oude mis sin krinamō poreuosōr, kai mēketi hamartasōr.⟧“No one, Lord,” she answered. “Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Now go and sin no more.”
12Palin oun autoi ⸂lalata tos Iēsus⸃ legarōntos; Mis amō tem fōtem tou kosmou; tos akoloutharōntos ⸀mi ouk mē peripatateia en ta skotia, alla echati tem fōtem tau zōau.Once again, Jesus spoke to the people and said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will never walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.” 13legala oun auto tois Farisaiois; Sis peri siautou marturasō; tas marturias su ouk atō alēthas.So the Pharisees said to Him, “You are testifying about Yourself; Your testimony is not valid.” 14apokrinita Iēsus kai legata autoi; Kan mis marturameiō peri miautou, alēthas atō tas marturias mu, hoti oidamē pothen erchama kai pou hupagamō; vis de ouk oidavē pothen erchomō ⸀ē pou hupagamō.Jesus replied, “Even if I testify about Myself, My testimony is valid, because 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. 15vis kata tan sarkan krinavō, mis ouk krinamō oudenon.You judge according to the flesh; I judge no one. 16kai ean krinameiō de mis, tas krisias tas ēmas ⸀alēthinas atō, hoti monos ouk amō, alla mis kai tos pemparantos min patros.But even if I do judge, My judgment is true, because I am not alone; I am with the Father who sent Me. 17kai en to nomo de to humetero grafotē hoti duo anthrōpoiu tas marturias alēthas atō.Even in your own Law it is written that the testimony of two men is valid. 18mis amō tos marturarōntos peri miautou kai marturatō peri mu tos pemparantos min patros.I am One who testifies about Myself, and the Father, who sent Me, also testifies about Me.” 19legale oun auto; Pou atō tos patros su? apokrinita Iēsus; Oute min oidavē oute ton patron mu; ei min oidavelē, kai ton patron mu ⸂an oidavelē.⸃“Where is Your Father?” they asked Him. “You do not know Me or My Father,” Jesus answered. “If you knew Me, you would know My Father as well.” 20houteim teim rēmeim ⸀lalata en te gazofulakie didaskarōntos en te hiere; kai oudenos piazata auton, hoti oupō erchatelē tas hōras autou.He spoke these words while teaching in the temple courts, near the treasury. Yet no one seized Him, because His hour had not yet come.
21Legata oun palin ⸀autoi; Mis hupagamō kai zētavi min, kai en ta hamarta vu apothnēskevi; hopou mis hupagamō vis ouk dunovō erchara.Again He said to them, “I am going away, and you will look for Me, but you will die in your sin. Where I am going, you cannot come.” 22legale oun tois Ioudaiois; Mēti apoktenati heauton hoti legatō; Hopou mis hupagamō vis ouk dunovō erchara?So the Jews began to ask, “Will He kill Himself, since He says, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come’ ?” 23kai ⸀legate autoi; Vis ek teiu katō avō, mis ek teiu anō amō; vis ek ⸂houtou tou kosmou⸃ avō, mis ouk amō ek tou kosmou houtou.Then He told them, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world. 24legama oun vi hoti apothnēskevi en tai hamartai vu; ean gar mē pisteuaveia hoti mis amō, apothnēskevi en tai hamartai vu.That is why I told you that you would die in your sins. For unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.” 25legale oun auto; Sis tinos asō? ⸀legata autoi tos Iēsus; Tan archan ⸂hem tinem⸃ kai lalamō vi?“Who are You?” they asked. “Just what I have been telling you from the beginning,” Jesus replied. 26polleim echamō peri vu lalarō kai krinarō; alla tos pemparantos min alēthos atō, kamis heim akouama para autou houteim ⸀lalamō eis ton kosmon.“I have much to say about you and much to judge. But the One who sent Me is truthful, and what I have heard from Him, I tell the world.” 27ouk gnōskala hoti ton patron autoi legate.They did not understand that He was telling them about the Father. 28legata ⸀oun tos Iēsus; Hotan hupsaveia ton huion tou anthrōpou, tote gnōskevi hoti mis amō, kai apo miautou poiamō oudenem, alla kathōs didaskata min tos ⸀patros houteim lalamō.So Jesus said, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing on My own, but speak exactly what the Father has taught Me. 29kai tos pemparantos min meta mu atō; ouk afiēkata min ⸀monon, hoti mis teim aresteim auto poiamō pantote.He who sent Me is with Me. He has not left Me alone, because I always do what pleases Him.” 30houteim autou lalarōntou pollois pisteuala eis auton.As Jesus spoke these things, many believed in Him.
31Legate oun tos Iēsus pros toin pisteuarēntoin auto Ioudaioin; Ean vis menaveia en to logo to ēmo, alēthōs mathētois mu avō,So He said to the Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, you are truly My disciples. 32kai gnōskevi tan alētheian, kai tas alētheias eleutherati vin.Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” 33apokrinila ⸂pros auton;⸃ Spermem Abraam anō kai oudeno douleuanē pōpote; pōs sis legasō hoti Eleutherois genevi?“We are Abraham’s descendants,” they answered. “We have never been slaves to anyone. How can You say we will be set free?”
34Apokrinita autoi tos Iēsus; Amēn amēn legamō vi hoti pantos tos poiarōntos tan hamartan doulos atō tau hamartau;Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. 35tos de doulos ouk menatō en ta oikia eis ton aiōnon; ⸀tos huios menatō eis ton aiōnon.A slave does not remain in the house forever, but a son remains forever. 36ean oun tos huios vin eleutherateia, ontōs eleutherois evi.So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. 37oidamē hoti spermem Abraam avō; alla zētavō min apoktenara, hoti tos logos tos ēmos ouk chōratō en vi.I know you are Abraham’s descendants, but you are trying to kill Me because My word has no place within you. 38⸂heim mis⸃ horamē para to ⸀patro lalamō; kai vis oun ⸂heim akouava⸃ para ⸂tou patrou⸃ poiavō.I speak of what I have seen in the presence of the Father, and you do what you have heard from your father.”
39Apokrinila kai legala auto; Tos patros nu Abraam atō. legatō autoi tos Iēsus; Ei tekneim tou Abraam ⸀avō, teim ergeim tou Abraam ⸀poiave;“Abraham is our father,” they replied. “If you were children of Abraham,” said Jesus, “you would do the works of Abraham. 40nun de zētavō min apoktenara, anthrōpon hos tan alētheian vi lalamē han akouama para tou theou; houtem Abraam ouk poiata.But now you are trying to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham never did such a thing. 41vis poiavō teim ergeim tou patrou vu. ⸀legala auto; Nis ek porneiau ⸂ouk gennonē;⸃ henon patron echanō ton theon.You are doing the works of your father.” “We are not illegitimate children,” they declared. “Our only Father is God Himself.” 42⸀legata autoi tos Iēsus; Ei tos theos patros vu ate agapave an min, mis gar ek tou theou exerchama kai hēkamō; oude gar apo miautou erchamē, alla ekeinos min apostelata.Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I have come here from God. I have not come on My own, but He sent Me. 43dia tinem tan lalian tan ēman ouk gnōskavō? hoti ouk dunovō akouarō ton logon ton ēmon.Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you are unable to accept My message. 44vis ek tou patrou tou diabolou avō kai tain epithumiain tou patrou vu thelavō poiarō. ekeinos anthrōpoktonos ate apo archau, kai en ta alētheia ⸂ouk stēate,⸃ hoti ouk atō alētheias en auto. hotan lalateiō tem pseudem, ek teiu idieiu lalatō, hoti pseustos atō kai tos patros auteu.You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out his desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, refusing to uphold the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, because he is a liar and the father of lies. 45mis de hoti tan alētheian legamō, ouk pisteuavō mi.But because I speak the truth, you do not believe Me! 46tinos ek vu elenchatō min peri hamartau? ⸀ei alētheian legamō, dia tinem vis ouk pisteuavō mi?Which of you can prove Me guilty of sin? If I speak the truth, why do you not believe Me? 47tos arōntos ek tou theou teim rēmeim tou theou akouatō; dia houtem vis ouk akouavō hoti ek tou theou ouk avō.Whoever belongs to God hears the words of God. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.”
48⸀Apokrinila tois Ioudaiois kai legala auto; Ouk kalōs leganō nis hoti Samaritos asō sis kai daimonem echasō?The Jews answered Him, “Are we not right to say that You are a Samaritan and You have a demon?” 49apokrinita Iēsus; Mis daimonem ouk echamō, alla timamō ton patron mu, kai vis atimazavō min.“I do not have a demon,” Jesus replied, “but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me. 50mis de ouk zētamō tan doxan mu; atō tos zētarōntos kai krinarōntos.I do not seek My own glory. There is One who seeks it, and He is the Judge. 51amēn amēn legamō vi, ean tinos ton ⸂ēmon logon⸃ tērateia, thanaton ouk mē theōrateia eis ton aiōnon.Truly, truly, I tell you, if anyone keeps My word, he will never see death.” 52⸀legala auto tois Ioudaiois; Nun gnōskanē hoti daimonem echasō. Abraam apothnēskata kai tois profētois, kai sis legasō; Ean tinos ton logon mu tērateia, ouk mē geueteia thanatou eis ton aiōnon;“Now we know that You have a demon!” declared the Jews. “Abraham died, and so did the prophets, yet You say that anyone who keeps Your word will never taste death. 53mē sis megoteros asō tou patrou nu Abraam, hotinos apothnēskata? kai tois profētois apothnēskala; tinon ⸀siauton poiasō?Are You greater than our father Abraham? He died, as did the prophets. Who do You claim to be?” 54apokrinita Iēsus; Ean mis ⸀doxazameia miauton, tas doxas mu oudenem atō; atō tos patros mu tos doxazarōntos min, hon vis legavō hoti theos ⸀nu atō,Jesus answered, “If I glorify Myself, My glory means nothing. The One who glorifies Me is My Father, of whom you say, ‘He is our God.’ 55kai ouk gnōskavē auton, mis de oidamē auton; kan legameia hoti ouk oidamē auton, emi homoios ⸀vi pseustos; alla oidamē auton kai ton logon autou tēramō.You do not know Him, but I know Him. If I said I did not know Him, I would be a liar like you. But I do know Him, and I keep His word. 56Abraam tos patros vu agallieta hina horateia tan hēmeran tan ēman, kai horata kai chairita.Your father Abraham rejoiced that he would see My day. He saw it and was glad.” 57legala oun tois Ioudaiois pros auton; Pentēkonta eteim oupō echasō kai Abraam horasē?Then the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and You have seen Abraham?” 58legata ⸀autoi Iēsus; Amēn amēn legamō vi, prin Abraam genera mis amō.“Truly, truly, I tell you,” Jesus declared, “before Abraham was born, I am!” 59airala oun lithoin hina balaleia epi auton; Iēsus de kruptita kai exerchata ek teu ⸀hiereu.At this, they picked up stones to throw at Him. But Jesus was hidden and went out of the temple area.
