And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
The scribes and Pharisees, however, brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before them
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.
So the Pharisees said to Him, “You are testifying about Yourself; Your testimony is not valid.”
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 answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
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 him that aforetime was blind.
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.”
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
“Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever does not enter the sheepfold by the gate, but climbs in some other way, is a thief and a robber.
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.
I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.
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 hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
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.
