Berean Standard Bible BSB Bible
They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in
adultery, in
the very act.
and said, “Teacher, this woman was caught in
the act of
adultery.
Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such a woman. So what do You say?”
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 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.
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.
When
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.”
And again he
stooped down, and wrote on
the ground.
And again He bent down and wrote on the ground.
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.
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.
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
straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are your accusers? Has no one condemned you?”
She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I
condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
“No one, Lord,” she answered. “
Then neither do I
condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Now go and sin no more.”
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.
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.”
The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of
thyself; thy record is not true.
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 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.
Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.
You judge according to the flesh; I judge no one.
And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
But even if I do judge, My judgment is true, because I am not alone; I am with the Father who sent Me.
It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.
Even in your own Law it is written that
the testimony of two men is
valid.
I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.
I am One who testifies about Myself, and the Father, who sent Me, also testifies about Me.”
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.
“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.”
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.
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.
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.
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.”
Then said
the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith,
Whither I go, ye cannot come.
So the Jews began to ask, “Will He kill Himself, since He says, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come’?”
And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
Then He told them, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.
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.
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.”
Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.
“Who are You?” they asked. “Just what I have been telling you from the beginning,” Jesus replied.
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 much to judge. But the One who sent Me is truthful, and what I have heard from Him, I tell the world.”
They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.
They did not understand that He was telling them about the Father.
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 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.
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 left Me alone, because I always do what pleases Him.”
As he spake these words, many believed on him.
As Jesus spoke these things, many believed in Him.
Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
So He said to the Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, you are truly My disciples.
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you 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?
“We are Abraham’s descendants,”
they answered. “We have never been slaves to
anyone. How can You say we will be set free?”
Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you,
everyone who sins is a slave to sin.
And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.
A slave is not a permanent member of
the family, but a son belongs to it
forever.
If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.
I speak of what I have seen in the presence of the Father, and you do what you have heard from your father.”
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.
“Abraham is our father,” they replied. “If you were children of Abraham,” said Jesus, “you would do the works of Abraham.
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 are trying to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham never did such a thing.
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.” “We are not
illegitimate children,”
they declared. “Our only Father is God Himself.”
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 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.
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 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.
And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
But because I speak the truth, you do 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 can prove Me guilty of sin? If I speak the truth, why do you not believe Me?
He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
Whoever belongs to God hears
the words of God.
The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.”
Then answered
the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a
Samaritan, and hast a devil?
The Jews answered Him, “Are we not right to say that You are a
Samaritan and You have a
demon?”
And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
I do not seek My own glory. There is One who seeks it, and He is the Judge.
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.
“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.
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? He died, as did the prophets. Who do You claim to be?”
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 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.’
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 yet fifty years old, and You have seen Abraham?”
Jesus said unto
them,
Verily,
verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
“Truly, truly, I tell you,” Jesus declared, “before Abraham was born, I am!”
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.
At this,
they picked up stones to throw at Him. But Jesus was hidden and went out of
the temple area.
Jesus answered, Neither hath this man
sinned, nor his parents: but that
the works of God should be made manifest in him.
Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents
sinned, but this happened so that
the works of God would be displayed in him.
I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
While it is
daytime, we must do
the works of Him who sent Me. Night is coming, when no one can work.
As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
When he had thus spoken, he
spat on
the ground, and made clay of
the spittle, and he
anointed the eyes of
the blind man with
the clay,
When Jesus had said this, He
spit on
the ground, made some mud, and applied it to
the man’s eyes.
And said unto him, Go, wash in
the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way
therefore, and washed, and came seeing.
Then He told him, “Go, wash in
the Pool of Siloam” (which means “Sent”). So
the man went and washed, and came back seeing.
The neighbours
therefore, and
they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and
begged?
At this, his neighbors and those who had formerly seen him
begging began to ask, “Isn’t this
the man who used to sit and
beg?”
Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he.
Some claimed that he was, but others said, “No, he just looks like him.” But the man kept saying, “I am the one.”
Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened?
“How then were your eyes opened?” they asked.
He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and
anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to
the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.
He answered, “
The man
they call Jesus made some mud and
anointed my eyes, and He told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed and received my sight.”
Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.
“Where is He?” they asked. “I do not know,” he answered.
They brought to
the Pharisees the man who had been blind.
And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.
Now the day on which Jesus had made the mud and opened his eyes was a Sabbath.
Then again
the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto
them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see.
So
the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight.
The man answered, “He put mud on my eyes, and I washed, and now I can see.”
Therefore said some of
the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not
the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a
sinner do such miracles? And
there was a division among
them.
Because of this, some of
the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for He does not keep
the Sabbath.” But others said, “How can a sinful man perform such signs?” And
there was division among
them.
They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.
So once again they asked the man who had been blind, “What do you say about Him, since it was your eyes He opened?” “He is a prophet,” the man replied.
But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight.
The Jews still did not believe that the man had been blind and had received his sight until they summoned his parents
And
they asked
them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how
then doth he now see?
and asked, “Is this your son, the one you say was born blind? So how is it that he can now see?”
His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:
His parents answered, “We know he is our son, and we know he was born blind.
These words spake his parents, because
they feared
the Jews: for
the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did
confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of
the synagogue.
His parents said this because
they were afraid of
the Jews. For
the Jews had already determined that
anyone who
confessed Jesus as
the Christ would be put out of
the synagogue.
Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.
That was why his parents said, “He is old enough. Ask him.”
Then again called
they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God
the praise: we know that this man is a
sinner.
So a second time
they called for
the man who had been blind and said, “Give glory to God! We know that this man is a
sinner.”
He answered and said, Whether he be a
sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.
He answered, “Whether He is a
sinner I do not know.
There is one thing I do know: I was blind, but now I see!”
Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes?
“What did He do to you?” they asked. “How did He open your eyes?”
He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples?
He replied, “I already told you, and you did not
listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want to become His disciples?”
Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses’ disciples.
Then they heaped insults on him and said, “You are His disciple; we are disciples of Moses.
The man answered and said unto
them, Why
herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes.
“That is remarkable indeed!” the man said. “You do not know where He is from, and yet He opened my eyes.
Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.
We know that God does not
listen to sinners, but He does
listen to
the one who worships Him and does His will.
Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind.
Never before has
anyone heard of opening
the eyes of a man born blind.
They answered and said unto him, Thou
wast altogether born in sins, and
dost thou teach us? And
they cast him out.
They replied, “You were born in utter sin, and you are
instructing us?” And
they threw him out.
Jesus heard that
they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him,
Dost thou believe on
the Son of God?
When Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, He found the man and said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”
And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee.
“You have already seen Him,” Jesus answered. “He is the One speaking with you.”
And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.
Then Jesus declared, “For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind may see and those who see may become blind.”
And some of
the Pharisees which were with him heard
these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also?
Some of
the Pharisees who were with Him heard this, and
they asked Him, “Are we blind too?”
Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.
“If you were blind,” Jesus replied, “you would not be guilty of sin. But since you claim you can see, your guilt remains.”
But he that entereth in by
the door is
the shepherd of
the sheep.
But
the one who enters by
the gate is
the shepherd of
the sheep.
To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
The gatekeeper opens
the gate for him, and
the sheep
listen for his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads
them out.
And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
When he has brought out all his own, he goes on
ahead of
them, and his sheep follow him because
they know his voice.
And a stranger will
they not follow, but will
flee from him: for
they know not
the voice of strangers.
But
they will never follow a stranger; in fact,
they will
flee from him because
they do not recognize his voice.”
This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.
Jesus spoke to them using this illustration, but they did not understand what He was telling them.
Then said Jesus unto
them again,
Verily,
verily, I say unto you, I am
the door of
the sheep.
So He said to them again, “Truly, truly, I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep.
All that ever came before me are
thieves and robbers: but
the sheep did not hear
them.
All who came before Me were
thieves and robbers, but
the sheep did not
listen to
them.
I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
I am
the gate. If
anyone enters through Me, he will be saved. He will come in and go out and find pasture.
The thief cometh not, but for to
steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that
they might have life, and that
they might have it more abundantly.
The thief comes only to
steal and kill and destroy. I have come that
they may have life, and have it in all its fullness.
But he that is an
hireling, and not
the shepherd, whose own
the sheep are not,
seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth
the sheep, and fleeth: and
the wolf catcheth
them, and scattereth
the sheep.
The hired hand is not
the shepherd, and
the sheep are not his own. When he sees
the wolf coming, he abandons
the sheep and runs away.
Then the wolf pounces on
them and scatters
the flock.
The man runs away because he is a
hired servant and is unconcerned for
the sheep.
I am
the good
shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
I am
the good
shepherd. I know My sheep and My sheep know Me,
As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
just as the Father knows Me and I know the Father. And I lay down My life for the sheep.
