| John 8:1 | but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. | Jesus went unto the mount of Olives. | But Jesus went to the Mountain of Olives. |
| John 8:2 | At break of day however He returned to the Temple, and there the people came to Him in crowds. He seated Himself; | And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them. | And early in the morning he came again into the Temple and all the people came to him and he was seated teaching them. |
| John 8:3 | and was teaching them when the Scribes and the Pharisees brought to Him a woman who had been found committing adultery. They made her stand in the centre of the court, and they put the case to Him. | And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, | Now the scribes and Pharisees came, with a woman who had been taken in the act of sinning against the married relation; |
| John 8:4 | "Rabbi," they said, "this woman has been found in the very act of committing adultery. | They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. | And putting her forward, they said to him, Master, this woman has been taken in the very act of sinning against the married relation. |
| John 8:5 | Now, in the Law, Moses has ordered us to stone such women to death. But what do you say?" | Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? | Now in the law Moses gave directions that such women were to be stoned; what do you say about it? |
| John 8:6 | They asked this in order to put Him to the test, so that they might have some charge to bring against Him. But Jesus leant forward and began to write with His finger on the ground. | This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. | They said this, testing him, so that they might have something against him. But Jesus, with his head bent down, made letters on the floor with his finger. |
| John 8:7 | When however they persisted with their question, He raised His head and said to them, "Let the sinless man among you be the first to throw a stone at her." | So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. | But when they went on with their questions, he got up and said to them, Let him among you who is without sin be the first to send a stone at her. |
| John 8:8 | Then He leant forward again, and again began to write on the ground. | And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. | And again, with bent head, he made letters on the floor. |
| John 8:9 | They listened to Him, and then, beginning with the eldest, took their departure, one by one, till all were gone. And Jesus was left behind alone and the woman in the centre of the court. | And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. | And when his words came to their ears, they went out one by one, starting with the oldest even to the last, because they were conscious of what was in their hearts: and Jesus was there by himself with the woman before him. |
| John 8:10 | Then, raising His head, Jesus said to her, "Where are they? Has no one condemned you?" | When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? | Then Jesus got up, and seeing nobody but the woman, he said to her, Where are the men who said things against you? did no one give a decision against you? |
| John 8:11 | "No one, Sir," she replied. "And *I* do not condemn you either," said Jesus; "go, and from this time do not sin any more."] | She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more. | And she said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said, And I do not give a decision against you: go, and never do wrong again.] |
| John 8:12 | Once more Jesus addressed them. "I am the Light of the world," He said; "the man who follows me shall certainly not walk in the dark, but shall have the light of Life." | Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. | Then again Jesus said to them, I am the light of the world; he who comes with me will not be walking in the dark but will have the light of life. |
| John 8:13 | "You are giving testimony about yourself," said the Pharisees; "your testimony is not true." | The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true. | So the Pharisees said to him, The witness you give is about yourself: your witness is not true. |
| John 8:14 | "Even if I am giving testimony about myself," replied Jesus, "my testimony is true; for I know where I came from and where I am going, but you know neither of these two things. | Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go. | Jesus said in answer, Even if I give witness about myself, my witness is true, because I have knowledge of where I came from and where I am going; but you have no knowledge of where I come from or of where I am going. |
| John 8:15 | You judge according to appearances: I am judging no one. | Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man. | You are judging from what you see; I am judging no man. |
| John 8:16 | And even if I do judge, my judgement is just; for I am not alone, but the Father who sent me is with me. | And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me. | Even if I am judging, my decision is right, because I am not by myself with me is the Father who sent me. |
| John 8:17 | In your own Law, too, it is written that the testimony of two men is true. | It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true. | Even in your law it is said that the witness of two men is true. |
| John 8:18 | I am one giving testimony about myself, and the Father who sent me gives testimony about me." | I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me. | I give witness about myself and the Father who sent me gives witness about me. |
| John 8:19 | "Where is your Father?" they asked. "You know my Father as little as you know me." He replied; "if you knew me, you would know my Father also." | Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also. | Then they said to him, Where is your Father? Jesus said in answer, You have no knowledge of me or of my Father: if you had knowledge of me you would have knowledge of my Father. |
| John 8:20 | These sayings He uttered in the Treasury, while teaching in the Temple; yet no one arrested Him, because His time had not yet come. | These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come. | Jesus said these words in the place where the offerings were stored, while he was teaching in the Temple: but no man took him because his time was still to come. |
| John 8:21 | Again He said to them, "I am going away. Then you will try to find me, but you will die in your sins. Where I am going, it is impossible for you to come." | Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come. | Then he said to them again, I am going away and you will be looking for me, but death will overtake you in your sins. It is not possible for you to come where I am going. |
| John 8:22 | The Jews began to ask one another, "Is he going to kill himself, do you think, that he says, `Where I am going, it is impossible for you to come'?" | Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come. | So the Jews said, Will he take his life? Is that why he says, Where I go it is not possible for you to come? |
| John 8:23 | "You," He continued, "are from below, I am from above: you are of this present world, I am not of this present world. | And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world. | And he said to them, You are of the earth; I am from heaven: you are of this world; I am not of this world. |
| John 8:24 | That is why I told you that you will die in your sins; for, unless you believe that I am He, that is what will happen." | I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins. | For this reason I said to you that death will overtake you in your sins: for if you have not faith that I am he, death will come to you while you are in your sins. |
| John 8:25 | "You who are you?" they asked. "How is it that I am speaking to you at all?" replied Jesus. | Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning. | Then they said to him, Who are you? Jesus said, What I said to you from the first. |
| John 8:26 | "Many things I have to speak and to judge concerning you. But He who sent me is true, and the things which I have heard from Him are those which I have come into the world to speak." | I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him. | I have much to say about you and against you: but he who sent me is true and what he has said to me I say to the world. |
| John 8:27 | They did not perceive that He was speaking to them of the Father. | They understood not that he spake to them of the Father. | They did not see that his words were about the Father. |
| John 8:28 | So Jesus added, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He. Of myself I do nothing; but as the Father has taught me, so I speak. | Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things. | So Jesus said, When the Son of man has been lifted up by you, then it will be clear to you who I am, and that I do nothing of myself, but say as the Father gave me teaching. |
| John 8:29 | And He who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone: for I do always what is pleasing to Him." | And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him. | He who sent me is with me; he has not gone from me, because at all times I do the things which are pleasing to him. |
| John 8:30 | As He thus spoke, many became believers in Him. | As he spake these words, many believed on him. | When he said this a number came to have faith in him. |
| John 8:31 | Jesus therefore said to those of the Jews who had now believed in Him, "As for you, if you hold fast to my teaching, then you are truly my disciples; | Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; | Then Jesus said to the Jews who had faith in him, If you keep my word, then you are truly my disciples; |
| John 8:32 | and you shall know the Truth, and the Truth will make you free." | And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. | And you will have knowledge of what is true, and that will make you free. |
| John 8:33 | "We are descendants of Abraham," they answered, "and have never at any time been in slavery to any one. What do those words of yours mean, `You shall become free'?" | They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? | They said to him in answer, We are Abraham's seed and have never been any man's servant: why do you say, You will become free? |
| John 8:34 | "In most solemn truth I tell you," replied Jesus, "that every one who commits sin is the slave of sin. | Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. | And this was the answer Jesus gave them: Truly I say to you, Everyone who does evil is the servant of sin. |
| John 8:35 | Now a slave does not remain permanently in his master's house, but a son does. | And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever. | Now the servant does not go on living in the house for ever, but the son does. |
| John 8:36 | If then the Son shall make you free, you will be free indeed. | If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. | If then the son makes you free, you will be truly free. |
| John 8:37 | You are descendants of Abraham, I know; but you want to kill me, because my teaching gains no ground within you. | I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you. | I am conscious that you are Abraham's seed; but you have a desire to put me to death because my word has no place in you. |
| John 8:38 | The words I speak are those I have learnt in the presence of the Father. Therefore you also should do what you have heard from your father." | I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father. | I say the things which I have seen in my Father's house: and you do the things which come to you from your father's house. |
| John 8:39 | "Our father is Abraham," they said. "If you were Abraham's children," replied Jesus, "it is Abraham's deeds that you would be doing. | They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham. | In answer they said to him, Our father is Abraham. Jesus said to them, If you were Abraham's children you would do what Abraham did. |
| John 8:40 | But, in fact, you are longing to kill me, a man who has spoken to you the truth which I have heard from God. Abraham did not do that. | But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham. | But now you have a desire to put me to death, a man who has said to you what is true, as I had it from God: Abraham did not do that. |
| John 8:41 | You are doing the deeds of your father." "We," they replied, "are not illegitimate children. We have one Father, namely God." | Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God. | You are doing the works of your father. They said to him, We are true sons of Abraham; we have one Father, who is God. |
| John 8:42 | "If God were your Father," said Jesus, "you would love me; for it is from God that I came and I am now here. I have not come of myself, but *He* sent me. | Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. | Jesus said to them, If God was your Father you would have love for me, because it was from God I came and am here. I did not come of myself, but he sent me. |
| John 8:43 | How is it you do not understand me when I speak? It is because you cannot bear to listen to my words. | Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. | Why are my words not clear to you? It is because your ears are shut to my teaching. |
| John 8:44 | The father whose sons you are is the Devil; and you desire to do what gives him pleasure. *He* was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand firm in the truth for there is no truth in him. Whenever he utters his lie, he utters it out of his own store; for he is a liar, and the father of lies. | Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. | You are the children of your father the Evil One and it is your pleasure to do his desires. From the first he was a taker of life; and he did not go in the true way because there is no true thing in him. When he says what is false, it is natural to him, for he is false and the father of what is false. |
| John 8:45 | But because I speak the truth, you do not believe me. | And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not. | But because I say what is true, you have no belief in me. |
| John 8:46 | Which of *you* convicts me of sin? If I speak the truth, why do you not believe me? | Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me? | Which of you is able truly to say that I am a sinner? If I say what is true, why have you no belief in me? |
| John 8:47 | He who is a child of God listens to God's words. You do not listen to them: and why? It is because you are not God's children." | He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God. | He who is a child of God gives ear to the words of God: your ears are not open to them because you are not from God. |
| John 8:48 | "Are we not right," answered the Jews, "in saying that you are a Samaritan and are possessed by a demon?" | Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil? | The Jews said to him in answer, Are we not right in saying that you are of Samaria and have an evil spirit? |
| John 8:49 | "I am not possessed by a demon," replied Jesus. "On the contrary I honour my Father, and you dishonour me. | Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me. | And this was the answer of Jesus: I have not an evil spirit; but I give honour to my Father and you do not give honour to me. |
| John 8:50 | I, however, am not aiming at glory for myself: there is One who aims at glory for me and who judges. | And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth. | I, however, am not in search of glory for myself: there is One who is searching for it and he is judge. |
| John 8:51 | In most solemn truth I tell you that if any one shall have obeyed my teaching he shall in no case ever see death." | Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death. | Truly I say to you, If a man keeps my word he will never see death. |
| John 8:52 | "Now," exclaimed the Jews, "we know that you are possessed by a demon. Abraham died, and so did the Prophets, and yet *you* say, `If any one shall have obeyed my teaching, he shall in no case ever taste death.' | Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death. | The Jews said to him, Now we are certain that you have an evil spirit. Abraham is dead, and the prophets are dead; and you say, If a man keeps my word he will never see death. |
| John 8:53 | Are you really greater than our forefather Abraham? For he died. And the prophets died. Who do you make yourself out to be?" | Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself? | Are you greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? and the prophets are dead: who do you say that you are? |
| John 8:54 | "Were I to glorify myself," answered Jesus, "I should have no real glory. There is One who glorifies me namely my Father, who you say is your God. | Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God: | Jesus said in answer, If I take glory for myself, my glory is nothing: it is my Father who gives me glory, of whom you say that he is your God. |
| John 8:55 | You do not know Him, but I know Him perfectly; and were I to deny my knowledge of Him, I should resemble you, and be a liar. On the contrary I do know Him, and I obey His commands. | Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying. | You have no knowledge of him, but I have knowledge of him; and if I said I have no knowledge of him I would be talking falsely like you: but I have full knowledge of him, and I keep his word. |
| John 8:56 | Abraham your forefather exulted in the hope of seeing my day: and he saw it, and was glad." | Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. | Your father Abraham was full of joy at the hope of seeing my day: he saw it and was glad. |
| John 8:57 | "You are not yet fifty years old," cried the Jews, "and have you seen Abraham?" | Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? | Then the Jews said to him, You are not fifty years old; have you seen Abraham? |
| John 8:58 | "In most solemn truth," answered Jesus, "I tell you that before Abraham came into existence, I am." | Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. | Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, Before Abraham came into being, I am. |
| John 8:59 | Thereupon they took up stones with which to stone Him, but He hid Himself and went away out of the Temple. | Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by. | So they took up stones to send at him: but Jesus got secretly out of their way and went out of the Temple. |
