ASV
but Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.
2
ASV
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.
3
ASV
And the scribes and the Pharisees bring a woman taken in adultery; and having set her in the midst,
4
ASV
they say unto him, Teacher, this woman hath been taken in adultery, in the very act.
5
ASV
Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such: what then sayest thou of her?
6
ASV
And this they said, trying him, that they might have [whereof] to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.
7
ASV
But 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.
8
ASV
And again he stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.
9
ASV
And they, when they heard it, went out one by one, beginning from the eldest, [even] unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman, where she was, in the midst.
10
ASV
And Jesus lifted up himself, and said unto her, Woman, where are they? did no man condemn thee?
11
ASV
And she said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said, Neither do I condemn thee: go thy way; from henceforth sin no more.]
12
ASV
Again therefore Jesus spake unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life.
13
ASV
The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest witness of thyself; thy witness is not true.
14
ASV
Jesus answered and said unto them, Even if I bear witness of myself, my witness is true; for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye know not whence I come, or whither I go.
15
ASV
Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.
16
ASV
Yea and if I judge, my judgment is true; for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
17
ASV
Yea and in your law it is written, that the witness of two men is true.
18
ASV
I am he that beareth witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.
19
ASV
They said therefore unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye know neither me, nor my Father: if ye knew me, ye would know my Father also.
20
ASV
These words spake he in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man took him; because his hour was not yet come.
21
ASV
He said therefore again unto them, I go away, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sin: whither I go, ye cannot come.
22
ASV
The Jews therefore said, Will he kill himself, that he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come?
23
ASV
And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
24
ASV
I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for except ye believe that I am [he], ye shall die in your sins.
25
ASV
They said therefore unto him, Who art thou? Jesus said unto them, Even that which I have also spoken unto you from the beginning.
26
ASV
I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you: howbeit he that sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these speak I unto the world.
27
ASV
They perceived not that he spake to them of the Father.
28
ASV
Jesus therefore said, 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 the Father taught me, I speak these things.
29
ASV
And he that sent me is with me; he hath not left me alone; for I do always the things that are pleasing to him.
30
ASV
As he spake these things, many believed on him.
31
ASV
Jesus therefore said to those Jews that had believed him, If ye abide in my word, [then] are ye truly my disciples;
32
ASV
and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
33
ASV
They answered unto him, We are Abraham’s seed, and have never yet been in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
34
ASV
Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Every one that committeth sin is the bondservant of sin.
35
ASV
And the bondservant abideth not in the house for ever: the son abideth for ever.
36
ASV
If therefore the Son shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
37
ASV
I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; yet ye seek to kill me, because my word hath not free course in you.
38
ASV
I speak the things which I have seen with [my] Father: and ye also do the things which ye heard from [your] father.
39
ASV
They answered and said unto him, Our father is Abraham. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
40
ASV
But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I heard from God: this did not Abraham.
41
ASV
Ye do the works of your father. They said unto him, We were not born of fornication; we have one Father, [even] God.
42
ASV
Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I came forth and am come from God; for neither have I come of myself, but he sent me.
43
ASV
Why do ye not understand my speech? [Even] because ye cannot hear my word.
44
ASV
Ye are of [your] father the devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and standeth 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 thereof.
45
ASV
But because I say the truth, ye believe me not.
46
ASV
Which of you convicteth me of sin? If I say truth, why do ye not believe me?
47
ASV
He that is of God heareth the words of God: for this cause ye hear [them] not, because ye are not of God.
48
ASV
The Jews answered and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?
49
ASV
Jesus answered, I have not a demon; but I honor my Father, and ye dishonor me.
50
ASV
But I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
51
ASV
Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my word, he shall never see death.
52
ASV
The Jews said unto him, Now we know that thou hast a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my word, he shall never taste of death.
53
ASV
Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who died? and the prophets died: whom makest thou thyself?
54
ASV
Jesus answered, If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing: it is my Father that glorifieth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God;
55
ASV
and ye have not known him: but I know him; and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be like unto you, a liar: but I know him, and keep his word.
56
ASV
Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day; and he saw it, and was glad.
57
ASV
The Jews therefore said unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
58
ASV
Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was born, I am.
59
ASV
They took up stones therefore to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple.
