John:8
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Jesus went to the mount of Olives :
*
And early in the morning he came again into the temple ,
and all the people came to him ;
and he sat down and taught them .
*
And the scribes and Pharisees brought to him a woman taken in adultery :
and when they had set her in the midst ,
*
They say to him ,
Master ,
this woman was taken in adultery ,
in the very act .
*
Now Moses in the law commanded us ,
that such should be stoned ;
but what sayest thou ?
*
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 .
*
So when they continued asking him ,
he raised himself ,
and said to them ,
He that is without sin among you ,
let him first cast a stone at her .
*
And again he stooped down ,
and wrote on the ground .
*
And they who heard it ,
being convicted by their own conscience ,
went out one by one ,
beginning at the eldest ,
even to the last :
and Jesus was left alone ,
and the woman standing in the midst .
*
When Jesus had raised himself ,
and saw none but the woman ,
he said to her ,
Woman ,
where are those thy accusers ?
hath no man condemned thee ?
*
She said ,
No man ,
Lord .
And Jesus said to her ,
Neither do I condemn thee :
go ,
and sin no more .
*
Then Jesus spoke again to 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 .
*
The Pharisees therefore said to him ,
Thou testifiest concerning thyself ;
thy testimony is not true .
*
Jesus answered and said to them ,
Though I testify concerning myself ,
yet my testimony is true :
for I know whence I came ,
and whither I go ;
but ye cannot tell whence I come ,
and whither I go .
*
Ye judge after the flesh ,
I judge no man .
*
And yet if I judge ,
my judgment is true :
for I am not alone ,
but I and the Father that sent me .
*
It is also written in your law ,
that the testimony of two men is true .
*
I am one that testifieth concerning myself ;
and the Father that sent me ,
testifieth concerning me .
*
Then said they to him ,
Where is thy Father ?
Jesus answered ,
Ye neither know me ,
nor my Father :
if ye had known me ,
ye would have known my Father also .
*
These words Jesus spoke in the treasury ,
as he taught in the temple :
and no man laid hands on him ,
for his hour was not yet come .
*
Then said Jesus again to them ,
I am going away ,
and ye will seek me ,
and will die in your sins :
whither I go ,
ye cannot come .
*
Then said the Jews ,
will he kill himself ?
because he saith ,
Whither I go ,
ye cannot come .
*
And he said to them ,
Ye are from beneath ;
I am from above :
ye are of this world ;
I am not of this world .
*
I said therefore to you ,
that ye will die in your sins :
for if ye believe not that I am he ,
ye will die in your sins .
*
Then said they to him ,
Who art thou ?
And Jesus saith to them ,
Even the same that I said to you from the beginning .
*
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 from him .
*
They understood not that he spoke to them concerning the Father .
*
Then said Jesus to 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 .
*
And he that sent me is with me :
the Father hath not left me alone ;
for I do always those things that please him .
*
As he spoke these words ,
many believed on him .
*
Then said Jesus to those Jews who believed on him ,
If ye continue in my word ,
ye are my disciples indeed ;
*
And ye shall know the truth ,
and the truth shall make you free .
*
They answered him ,
We are Abraham '
s offspring ,
and were never in bondage to any man :
how sayest thou ,
Ye shall be made free ?
*
Jesus answered them ,
Verily ,
verily ,
I say to you ,
Whoever committeth sin ,
is the servant of sin .
*
And the servant abideth not in the house for ever ,
but the Son abideth for ever .
*
If the Son therefore shall make you free ,
ye shall be free indeed .
*
I know that ye are Abraham '
s offspring ;
but ye seek to kill me ,
because my word hath no place in you .
*
I speak that which I have seen with my Father :
and ye do that which ye have seen with your father .
*
They answered and said to him ,
Abraham is our father .
Jesus saith to them ,
If ye were Abraham '
s children ,
ye 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 from God :
this did not Abraham .
*
Ye do the deeds of your father .
Then said they to him ,
We are not born of fornication ;
we have one Father ,
even God .
*
Jesus said to 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 .
*
Why do ye not understand my speech ?
even because ye cannot hear my word .
*
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 .
*
And because I tell you the truth ,
ye believe me not .
*
Which of you convicteth me of sin ?
And if I speak the truth ,
why do ye not believe me ?
*
He that is of God ,
heareth God '
s words :
ye therefore hear them not ,
because ye are not of God .
*
Then answered the Jews ,
and said to him ,
Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan ,
and hast a demon ?
*
Jesus answered ,
I have not a demon ;
but I honor my Father ,
and ye dishonor me .
*
And I seek not my own glory :
there is one that seeketh and judgeth .
*
Verily ,
verily ,
I say to you ,
If a man shall keep my saying ,
he shall never see death .
*
Then said the Jews to him ,
Now we know that thou hast a demon .
Abraham is dead ,
and the prophets ;
and thou sayest ,
If a man shall keep my saying ,
he shall never taste death .
*
Art thou greater than our father Abraham ,
who is dead ?
and the prophets are dead :
whom makest thou thyself ?
*
Jesus answered ,
If I honor myself ,
my honor is nothing :
it is my Father that honoreth me ,
of whom ye say ,
that he is your God :
*
Yet ye have not known him ;
but I know him :
and if I should say ,
I know him not ,
I should be a liar like you :
but I know him ,
and keep his saying .
*
Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day :
and he saw it ,
and was glad .
*
Then said the Jews to him ,
Thou art not yet fifty years old ,
and hast thou seen Abraham ?
*
Jesus said to them ,
Verily ,
verily ,
I say to you ,
Before Abraham was ,
I am .
*
Then they took 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 .
