¹but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.

KJV^G1161 Jesus^G2424 went^G4198^(G5675) unto^G1519 the mount^G3735 of Olives^G1636.

² Now very early in the morning, he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him. He sat down and taught them.

KJVAnd^G1161 early in the morning^G3722 he came^G3854^(G5633) again^G3825 into^G1519 the temple^G2411, and^G2532 all^G3956 the people^G2992 came^G2064^(G5711) unto^G4314 him^G846; and^G2532 he sat down^G2523^(G5660), and taught^G1321^(G5707) them^G846.

³ The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery. Having set her in the middle,

KJVAnd^G1161 the scribes^G1122 and^G2532 Pharisees^G5330 brought^G71^(G5719) unto^G4314 him^G846 a woman^G1135 taken^G2638^(G5772) in^G1722 adultery^G3430; and^G2532 when they had set^G2476^(G5660) her^G846 in^G1722 the midst^G3319,

⁴ they told him, “Teacher, we found this woman in adultery, in the very act.

KJVThey say^G3004^(G5719) unto him^G846, Master^G1320, this^G3778 woman^G1135 was taken^G2638^(G5681) in adultery^G3431^(G5746), in the very act^G1888.

⁵ Now in our law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. What then do you say about her?”

KJVNow^G1161 Moses^G3475 in^G1722 the law^G3551 commanded^G1781^(G5662) us^G2254, that such^G5108 should be stoned^G3036^(G5745): but^G3767 what^G5101 sayest^G3004^(G5719) thou^G4771?

⁶ They said this testing him, that they might have something to accuse him of. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger.

KJV^G1161 This^G5124 they said^G3004^(G5707), tempting^G3985^(G5723) him^G846, that^G2443 they might have^G2192^(G5725) to accuse^G2723^(G5721) him^G846. But^G1161 Jesus^G2424 stooped^G2955^(G5660) down^G2736, and with his finger^G1147 wrote^G1125^(G5707) on^G1519 the ground^G1093, as though he heard^G4364^(G5740) them not^G3361.

⁷ But when they continued asking him, he looked up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw the first stone at her.”

KJVSo^G1161 when^G5613 they continued^G1961^(G5707) asking^G2065^(G5723) him^G846, he lifted up himself^G352^(G5660), and said^G2036^(G5627) unto^G4314 them^G846, He that is without sin^G361 among you^G5216, let him^G906 first^G4413 cast^G906^(G5628) a stone^G3037 at^G1909 her^G846.

⁸ Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger.

KJVAnd^G2532 again^G3825 he stooped^G2955^(G5660) down^G2736, and wrote^G1125^(G5707) on^G1519 the ground^G1093.

⁹ They, when they heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning from the oldest, even to the last. Jesus was left alone with the woman where she was, in the middle.

KJVAnd^G1161 they which heard^G191^(G5660) it,^G2532 being convicted^G1651^(G5746) by^G5259 their own conscience^G4893, went out^G1831^(G5711) one by one^G1527, beginning^G756^(G5671) at^G575 the eldest^G4245, even unto^G2193 the last^G2078: and^G2532 Jesus^G2424 was left^G2641^(G5681) alone^G3441, and^G2532 the woman^G1135 standing^G2476^(G5761) in^G1722 the midst^G3319.

¹⁰ Jesus, standing up, saw her and said, “Woman, where are your accusers? Did no one condemn you?”

KJVWhen^G1161 Jesus^G2424 had lifted up himself^G352^(G5660), and^G2532 saw^G2300^(G5666) none^G3367 but^G4133 the woman^G1135, he said^G2036^(G5627) unto her^G846, Woman^G1135, where^G4226 are^G1526^(G5748) those^G1565 thine^G4675 accusers^G2725? hath^G2632 no man^G3762 condemned^G2632^(G5656) thee^G4571?

¹¹ She said, “No one, Lord.” Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go your way. From now on, sin no more.”

KJV^G1161 She said^G2036^(G5627), No man^G3762, Lord^G2962. And^G1161 Jesus^G2424 said^G2036^(G5627) unto her^G846, Neither^G3761 do^G2632 I^G1473 condemn^G2632^(G5719) thee^G4571: go^G4198^(G5737), and^G2532 sin^G264^(G5720) no more^G3371.

¹² Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.”

KJVThen^G3767 spake^G2980^(G5656) Jesus^G2424 again^G3825 unto them^G846, saying^G3004^(G5723), I^G1473 am^G1510^(G5748) the light^G5457 of the world^G2889: he that followeth^G190^(G5723) me^G1698 shall^G4043 not^G3364 walk^G4043^(G5692) in^G1722 darkness^G4653, but^G235 shall have^G2192^(G5692) the light^G5457 of life^G2222.

¹³ The Pharisees therefore said to him, “You testify about yourself. Your testimony is not valid.”

KJVThe Pharisees^G5330 therefore^G3767 said^G2036^(G5627) unto him^G846, Thou^G4771 bearest record^G3140^(G5719) of^G4012 thyself^G4572; thy^G4675 record^G3141 is^G2076^(G5748) not^G3756 true^G227.

¹⁴ Jesus answered them, “Even if I testify about myself, my testimony is true, for I know where I came from, and where I am going; but you don’t know where I came from, or where I am going.

KJVJesus^G2424 answered^G611^(G5662) and^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627) unto them^G846, Though^G2579 I^G1473 bear record^G3140^(G5725) of^G4012 myself^G1683, yet my^G3450 record^G3141 is^G2076^(G5748) true^G227: for^G3754 I know^G1492^(G5758) whence^G4159 I came^G2064^(G5627), and^G2532 whither^G4226 I go^G5217^(G5719); but^G1161 ye^G5210 cannot^G3756 tell^G1492^(G5758) whence^G4159 I come^G2064^(G5736), and^G2532 whither^G4226 I go^G5217^(G5719).

¹⁵ You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.

KJVYe^G5210 judge^G2919^(G5719) after^G2596 the flesh^G4561; I^G1473 judge^G2919^(G5719) no^G3756 man^G3762.

¹⁶ Even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.

KJVAnd^G1161 yet^G2532 if^G1437 I^G1473 judge^G2919^(G5725), my^G1699 judgment^G2920 is^G2076^(G5748) true^G227: for^G3754 I am^G1510^(G5748) not^G3756 alone^G3441, but^G235 I^G1473 and^G2532 the Father^G3962 that sent^G3992^(G5660) me^G3165.

¹⁷ It’s also written in your law that the testimony of two people is valid.

KJV^G2532 It is^G1125 also^G1161 written^G1125^(G5769) in^G1722 your^G5212 law^G3551, that^G3754 the testimony^G3141 of two^G1417 men^G444 is^G2076^(G5748) true^G227.

¹⁸ I am one who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me.”

KJVI^G1473 am^G1510^(G5748) one that bear witness^G3140^(G5723) of^G4012 myself^G1683, and^G2532 the Father^G3962 that sent^G3992^(G5660) me^G3165 beareth witness^G3140^(G5719) of^G4012 me^G1700.

¹⁹ They said therefore to him, “Where is your Father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither me nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father also.”

KJVThen^G3767 said they^G3004^(G5707) unto him^G846, Where^G4226 is^G2076^(G5748) thy^G4675 Father^G3962? Jesus^G2424 answered^G611^(G5662), Ye^G1492 neither^G3777 know^G1492^(G5758) me^G1691, nor^G3777 my^G3450 Father^G3962: if^G1487 ye had known^G1492^(G5715) me^G1691,^G2532 ye should have known^G1492^(G5715) my^G3450 Father^G3962 also^G302.

²⁰ Jesus spoke these words in the treasury, as he taught in the temple. Yet no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.

KJVThese^G5023 words^G4487 spake^G2980^(G5656) Jesus^G2424 in^G1722 the treasury^G1049, as he taught^G1321^(G5723) in^G1722 the temple^G2411: and^G2532 no man^G3762 laid hands^G4084^(G5656) on him^G846; for^G3754 his^G846 hour^G5610 was^G2064 not yet^G3768 come^G2064^(G5715).

²¹ Jesus said therefore again to them, “I am going away, and you will seek me, and you will die in your sins. Where I go, you can’t come.”

KJVThen^G3767 said^G2036^(G5627) Jesus^G2424 again^G3825 unto them^G846, I^G1473 go my way^G5217^(G5719), and^G2532 ye shall seek^G2212^(G5692) me^G3165, and^G2532 shall die^G599^(G5695) in^G1722 your^G5216 sins^G266: whither^G3699 I^G1473 go^G5217^(G5719), ye^G5210 cannot^G3756^G1410^(G5736) come^G2064^(G5629).

²² The Jews therefore said, “Will he kill himself, because he says, ‘Where I am going, you can’t come’?”

KJVThen^G3767 said^G3004^(G5707) the Jews^G2453, Will he kill^G3385^G615^(G5692) himself^G1438? because^G3754 he saith^G3004^(G5719), Whither^G3699 I^G1473 go^G5217^(G5719), ye^G5210 cannot^G3756^G1410^(G5736) come^G2064^(G5629).

²³ He said to them, “You are from beneath. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world.

KJVAnd^G2532 he said^G2036^(G5627) unto them^G846, Ye^G5210 are^G2075^(G5748) from^G1537 beneath^G2736; I^G1473 am^G1510^(G5748) from^G1537 above^G507: ye^G5210 are^G2075^(G5748) of^G1537 this^G5127 world^G2889; I^G1473 am^G1510^(G5748) not^G3756 of^G1537 this^G5127 world^G2889.

²⁴ I said therefore to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am he, you will die in your sins.”

KJVI said^G2036^(G5627) therefore^G3767 unto you^G5213, that^G3754 ye shall die^G599^(G5695) in^G1722 your^G5216 sins^G266: for^G1063 if^G3362 ye believe^G4100^(G5661) not^G3362 that^G3754 I^G1473 am^G1510^(G5748) he, ye shall die^G599^(G5695) in^G1722 your^G5216 sins^G266.

²⁵ They said therefore to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them, “Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.

KJVThen^G3767 said they^G3004^(G5707) unto him^G846, Who^G5101 art^G1488^(G5748) thou^G4771? And^G2532 Jesus^G2424 saith^G2036^(G5627) unto them^G846, Even^G3748^G2532 the same that I said^G2980^(G5719) unto you^G5213 from the beginning^G746.

²⁶ I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you. However, he who sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these I say to the world.”

KJVI have^G2192^(G5719) many things^G4183 to say^G2980^(G5721) and^G2532 to judge^G2919^(G5721) of^G4012 you^G5216: but^G235 he that sent^G3992^(G5660) me^G3165 is^G2076^(G5748) true^G227; and I^G2504 speak^G3004^(G5719) to^G1519 the world^G2889 those things^G5023 which^G3739 I have heard^G191^(G5656) of^G3844 him^G846.

²⁷ They didn’t understand that he spoke to them about the Father.

KJVThey understood^G1097^(G5627) not^G3756 that^G3754 he spake^G3004^(G5707) to them^G846 of the Father^G3962.

²⁸ Jesus therefore said to them, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and I do nothing of myself, but as my Father taught me, I say these things.

KJVThen^G5119 said^G2036^(G5627) Jesus^G2424 unto them^G846, When^G3752 ye have lifted up^G5312^(G5661) the Son^G5207 of man^G444, then^G3767 shall ye know^G1097^(G5695) that^G3754 I^G1473 am^G1510^(G5748) he, and^G2532 that I do^G4160^(G5719) nothing^G3762 of^G575 myself^G1683; but^G235 as^G2531 my^G3450 Father^G3962 hath taught^G1321^(G5656) me^G3165, I speak^G2980^(G5719) these things^G5023.

²⁹ He who sent me is with me. The Father hasn’t left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him.”

KJVAnd^G2532 he that sent^G3992^(G5660) me^G3165 is^G2076^(G5748) with^G3326 me^G1700: the Father^G3962 hath^G863 not^G3756 left^G863^(G5656) me^G3165 alone^G3441; for^G3754 I^G1473 do^G4160^(G5719) always^G3842 those things that please^G701 him^G846.

³⁰ As he spoke these things, many believed in him.

KJVAs he^G846 spake^G2980^(G5723) these words^G5023, many^G4183 believed^G4100^(G5656) on^G1519 him^G846.

³¹ Jesus therefore said to those Jews who had believed him, “If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.

KJVThen^G3767 said^G3004^(G5707) Jesus^G2424 to^G4314 those Jews^G2453 which^G3588 believed^G4100^(G5761) on him^G846, If^G1437 ye^G5210 continue^G3306^(G5661) in^G1722 my^G1699 word^G3056, then are ye^G2075^(G5748) my^G3450 disciples^G3101 indeed^G230;

³² You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”

KJVAnd^G2532 ye shall know^G1097^(G5695) the truth^G225, and^G2532 the truth^G225 shall make^G1659 you^G5209 free^G1659^(G5692).

³³ They answered him, “We are Abraham’s offspring, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How do you say, ‘You will be made free’?”

KJVThey answered^G611^(G5662) him^G846, We be^G2070^(G5748) Abraham's^G11 seed^G4690, and^G2532 were^G1398 never^G4455 in bondage^G1398^(G5758) to any man^G3762: how^G4459 sayest^G3004^(G5719) thou^G4771,^G3754 Ye shall be made^G1096^(G5695) free^G1658?

³⁴ Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the bondservant of sin.

KJVJesus^G2424 answered^G611^(G5662) them^G846, Verily^G281, verily^G281, I say^G3004^(G5719) unto you^G5213,^G3754 Whosoever^G3956 committeth^G4160^(G5723) sin^G266 is^G2076^(G5748) the servant^G1401 of sin^G266.

³⁵ A bondservant doesn’t live in the house forever. A son remains forever.

KJVAnd^G1161 the servant^G1401 abideth^G3306^(G5719) not^G3756 in^G1722 the house^G3614 for^G1519 ever^G165: but the Son^G5207 abideth^G3306^(G5719)^G1519 ever^G165.

³⁶ If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.

KJVIf^G1437 the Son^G5207 therefore^G3767 shall make^G1659 you^G5209 free^G1659^(G5661), ye shall be^G2071^(G5704) free^G1658 indeed^G3689.

³⁷ I know that you are Abraham’s offspring, yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you.

KJVI know^G1492^(G5758) that^G3754 ye are^G2075^(G5748) Abraham's^G11 seed^G4690; but^G235 ye seek^G2212^(G5719) to kill^G615^(G5658) me^G3165, because^G3754 my^G1699 word^G3056 hath^G5562 no^G3756 place^G5562^(G5719) in^G1722 you^G5213.

³⁸ I say the things which I have seen with my Father; and you also do the things which you have seen with your father.”

KJVI^G1473 speak^G2980^(G5719) that which^G3739 I have seen^G3708^(G5758) with^G3844 my^G3450 Father^G3962: and^G2532 ye^G5210 do^G4160^(G5719) that^G3767 which^G3739 ye have seen^G3708^(G5758) with^G3844 your^G5216 father^G3962.

³⁹ They answered him, “Our father is Abraham.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham.

KJVThey answered^G611^(G5662) and^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627) unto him^G846, Abraham^G11 is^G2076^(G5748) our^G2257 father^G3962. Jesus^G2424 saith^G3004^(G5719) unto them^G846, If^G1487 ye were^G2258^(G5713) Abraham's^G11 children^G5043, ye would do^G4160^(G5707)^G302 the works^G2041 of Abraham^G11.

⁴⁰ But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham didn’t do this.

KJVBut^G1161 now^G3568 ye seek^G2212^(G5719) to kill^G615^(G5658) me^G3165, a man^G444 that^G3739 hath told^G2980^(G5758) you^G5213 the truth^G225, which^G3739 I have heard^G191^(G5656) of^G3844 God^G2316: this^G5124 did^G4160^(G5656) not^G3756 Abraham^G11.

⁴¹ You do the works of your father.” They said to him, “We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, God.”

KJVYe^G5210 do^G4160^(G5719) the deeds^G2041 of your^G5216 father^G3962. Then^G3767 said they^G2036^(G5627) to him^G846, We^G2249 be^G1080 not^G3756 born^G1080^(G5769) of^G1537 fornication^G4202; we have^G2192^(G5719) one^G1520 Father^G3962, even God^G2316.

⁴² Therefore Jesus said to them, “If God were your father, you would love me, for I came out and have come from God. For I haven’t come of myself, but he sent me.

KJVJesus^G2424^G3767 said^G2036^(G5627) unto them^G846, If^G1487 God^G2316 were^G2258^(G5713) your^G5216 Father^G3962, ye would^G302 love^G25^(G5707) me^G1691: for^G1063 I^G1473 proceeded forth^G1831^(G5627) and^G2532 came^G2240^(G5719) from^G1537 God^G2316; neither^G3761^G1063 came I^G2064^(G5754) of^G575 myself^G1683, but^G235 he^G1565 sent^G649^(G5656) me^G3165.

⁴³ Why don’t you understand my speech? Because you can’t hear my word.

KJVWhy^G1302 do ye^G1097 not^G3756 understand^G1097^(G5719) my^G1699 speech^G2981? even because^G3754 ye cannot^G3756^G1410^(G5736) hear^G191^(G5721) my^G1699 word^G3056.

⁴⁴ You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn’t stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and the father of lies.

KJVYe^G5210 are^G2075^(G5748) of^G1537 your father^G3962 the devil^G1228, and^G2532 the lusts^G1939 of your^G5216 father^G3962 ye will^G2309^(G5719) do^G4160^(G5721). He^G1565 was^G2258^(G5713) a murderer^G443 from^G575 the beginning^G746, and^G2532 abode^G2476^(G5707)^(G5758) not^G3756 in^G1722 the truth^G225, because^G3754 there is^G2076^(G5748) no^G3756 truth^G225 in^G1722 him^G846. When^G3752 he speaketh^G2980^(G5725) a lie^G5579, he speaketh^G2980^(G5719) of^G1537 his own^G2398: for^G3754 he is^G2076^(G5748) a liar^G5583, and^G2532 the father^G3962 of it^G846.

⁴⁵ But because I tell the truth, you don’t believe me.

KJVAnd^G1161 because^G3754 I^G1473 tell^G3004^(G5719) you the truth^G225, ye believe^G4100^(G5719) me^G3427 not^G3756.

⁴⁶ Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?

KJVWhich^G5101 of^G1537 you^G5216 convinceth^G1651^(G5719) me^G3165 of^G4012 sin^G266? And^G1161 if^G1487 I say^G3004^(G5719) the truth^G225, why^G1302 do^G4100 ye^G5210 not^G3756 believe^G4100^(G5719) me^G3427?

⁴⁷ He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you don’t hear, because you are not of God.”

KJVHe that is^G5607^(G5752) of^G1537 God^G2316 heareth^G191^(G5719) God's^G2316 words^G4487: ye^G5210 therefore^G5124^G1223 hear^G191^(G5719) them not^G3756, because^G3754 ye are^G2075^(G5748) not^G3756 of^G1537 God^G2316.

⁴⁸ Then the Jews answered him, “Don’t we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?”

KJVThen^G3767 answered^G611^(G5662) the Jews^G2453, and^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627) unto him^G846, Say^G3004^(G5719) we^G2249 not^G3756 well^G2573 that^G3754 thou^G4771 art^G1488^(G5748) a Samaritan^G4541, and^G2532 hast^G2192^(G5719) a devil^G1140?

⁴⁹ Jesus answered, “I don’t have a demon, but I honor my Father and you dishonor me.

KJVJesus^G2424 answered^G611^(G5662), I^G1473 have^G2192^(G5719) not^G3756 a devil^G1140; but^G235 I honour^G5091^(G5719) my^G3450 Father^G3962, and^G2532 ye^G5210 do dishonour^G818^(G5719) me^G3165.

⁵⁰ But I don’t seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and judges.

KJVAnd^G1161 I^G1473 seek^G2212^(G5719) not^G3756 mine own^G3450 glory^G1391: there is^G2076^(G5748) one that seeketh^G2212^(G5723) and^G2532 judgeth^G2919^(G5723).

⁵¹ Most certainly, I tell you, if a person keeps my word, he will never see death.”

KJVVerily^G281, verily^G281, I say^G3004^(G5719) unto you^G5213, If^G1437 a man^G5100 keep^G5083^(G5661) my^G1699 saying^G3056, he shall^G2334 never^G3364^G1519^G165 see^G2334^(G5661) death^G2288.

⁵² Then the Jews said to him, “Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, as did the prophets; and you say, ‘If a man keeps my word, he will never taste of death.’

KJVThen^G3767 said^G2036^(G5627) the Jews^G2453 unto him^G846, Now^G3568 we know^G1097^(G5758) that^G3754 thou hast^G2192^(G5719) a devil^G1140. Abraham^G11 is dead^G599^(G5627), and^G2532 the prophets^G4396; and^G2532 thou^G4771 sayest^G3004^(G5719), If^G1437 a man^G5100 keep^G5083^(G5661) my^G3450 saying^G3056, he shall^G1089 never^G3364^G1519^G165 taste^G1089^(G5695) of death^G2288.

⁵³ Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? The prophets died. Who do you make yourself out to be?”

KJVArt^G3361^G1488^(G5748) thou^G4771 greater than^G3187 our^G2257 father^G3962 Abraham^G11, which^G3748 is dead^G599^(G5627)? and^G2532 the prophets^G4396 are dead^G599^(G5627): whom^G5101 makest^G4160^(G5719) thou^G4771 thyself^G4572?

⁵⁴ Jesus answered, “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say that he is our God.

KJVJesus^G2424 answered^G611^(G5662), If^G1437 I^G1473 honour^G1392^(G5719) myself^G1683, my^G3450 honour^G1391 is^G2076^(G5748) nothing^G3762: it is^G2076^(G5748) my^G3450 Father^G3962 that honoureth^G1392^(G5723) me^G3165; of whom^G3739 ye^G5210 say^G3004^(G5719), that^G3754 he is^G2076^(G5748) your^G5216 God^G2316:

⁵⁵ You have not known him, but I know him. If I said, ‘I don’t know him,’ I would be like you, a liar. But I know him and keep his word.

KJVYet^G2532 ye have^G1097 not^G3756 known^G1097^(G5758) him^G846; but^G1161 I^G1473 know^G1492^(G5758) him^G846: and^G2532 if^G1437 I should say^G2036^(G5632),^G3754 I know^G1492^(G5758) him^G846 not^G3756, I shall be^G2071^(G5704) a liar^G5583 like^G3664 unto you^G5216: but^G235 I know^G1492^(G5758) him^G846, and^G2532 keep^G5083^(G5719) his^G846 saying^G3056.

⁵⁶ Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day. He saw it and was glad.”

KJVYour^G5216 father^G3962 Abraham^G11 rejoiced^G21^(G5662) to^G2443 see^G1492^(G5632) my^G1699 day^G2250: and^G2532 he saw^G1492^(G5627) it, and^G2532 was glad^G5463^(G5644).

⁵⁷ The Jews therefore said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old! Have you seen Abraham?”

KJVThen^G3767 said^G2036^(G5627) the Jews^G2453 unto^G4314 him^G846, Thou art^G2192^(G5719) not yet^G3768 fifty^G4004 years old^G2094, and^G2532 hast thou seen^G3708^(G5758) Abraham^G11?

⁵⁸ Jesus said to them, “Most certainly, I tell you, before Abraham came into existence, I AM.”

KJVJesus^G2424 said^G2036^(G5627) unto them^G846, Verily^G281, verily^G281, I say^G3004^(G5719) unto you^G5213, Before^G4250 Abraham^G11 was^G1096^(G5635), I^G1473 am^G1510^(G5748).

⁵⁹ Therefore they took up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple, having gone through the middle of them, and so passed by.

KJVThen^G3767 took they up^G142^(G5656) stones^G3037 to^G2443 cast^G906^(G5632) at^G1909 him^G846: but^G1161 Jesus^G2424 hid himself^G2928^(G5648), and^G2532 went^G1831^(G5627) out of^G1537 the temple^G2411, going^G1330^(G5631) through^G1223 the midst^G3319 of them^G846, and^G2532 so^G3779 passed by^G3855^(G5707).

WEB·John 7

¹After these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee, for he wouldn’t walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.

KJV^G2532 After^G3326 these things^G5023 Jesus^G2424 walked^G4043^(G5707) in^G1722 Galilee^G1056: for^G1063 he would^G2309^(G5707) not^G3756 walk^G4043^(G5721) in^G1722 Jewry^G2449, because^G3754 the Jews^G2453 sought^G2212^(G5707) to kill^G615^(G5658) him^G846.

² Now the feast of the Jews, the Feast of Booths, was at hand.

KJVNow^G1161 the Jews^G2453' feast^G1859 of tabernacles^G4634 was^G2258^(G5713) at hand^G1451.

³ His brothers therefore said to him, “Depart from here and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see your works which you do.

KJVHis^G846 brethren^G80 therefore^G3767 said^G2036^(G5627) unto^G4314 him^G846, Depart^G3327^(G5628) hence^G1782, and^G2532 go^G5217^(G5720) into^G1519 Judaea^G2449, that^G2443 thy^G4675 disciples^G3101 also^G2532 may see^G2334^(G5661) the works^G2041 that^G3739 thou^G4675 doest^G4160^(G5719).

⁴ For no one does anything in secret while he seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, reveal yourself to the world.”

KJVFor^G1063 there is no man^G3762 that doeth^G4160^(G5719) any thing^G5100 in^G1722 secret^G2927, and^G2532 he himself^G846 seeketh^G2212^(G5719) to be^G1511^(G5750) known openly^G1722^G3954. If^G1487 thou do^G4160^(G5719) these things^G5023, shew^G5319^(G5657) thyself^G4572 to the world^G2889.

⁵ For even his brothers didn’t believe in him.

KJVFor^G1063 neither^G3761 did^G4100 his^G846 brethren^G80 believe^G4100^(G5707) in^G1519 him^G846.

⁶ Jesus therefore said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.

KJVThen^G3767 Jesus^G2424 said^G3004^(G5719) unto them^G846, My^G1699 time^G2540 is^G3918 not yet^G3768 come^G3918^(G5748): but^G1161 your^G5212 time^G2540 is^G2076^(G5748) alway^G3842 ready^G2092.

⁷ The world can’t hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.

KJVThe world^G2889 cannot^G3756^G1410^(G5736) hate^G3404^(G5721) you^G5209; but^G1161 me^G1691 it hateth^G3404^(G5719), because^G3754 I^G1473 testify^G3140^(G5719) of^G4012 it^G846, that^G3754 the works^G2041 thereof^G846 are^G2076^(G5748) evil^G4190.

⁸ You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled.”

KJVGo^G305 ye^G5210 up^G305^(G5628) unto^G1519 this^G5026 feast^G1859: I^G1473 go^G305 not^G3768 up^G305^(G5719) yet^G3768 unto^G1519 this^G5026 feast^G1859; for^G3754 my^G1699 time^G2540 is^G4137 not yet^G3768 full come^G4137^(G5769).

⁹ Having said these things to them, he stayed in Galilee.

KJVWhen^G1161 he had said^G2036^(G5631) these words^G5023 unto them^G846, he abode^G3306^(G5656) still in^G1722 Galilee^G1056.

¹⁰ But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly, but as it were in secret.

KJVBut^G1161 when^G5613 his^G846 brethren^G80 were gone up^G305^(G5627), then^G5119 went^G305 he^G846 also^G2532 up^G305^(G5627) unto^G1519 the feast^G1859, not^G3756 openly^G5320, but^G235 as it were^G5613 in^G1722 secret^G2927.

¹¹ The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, “Where is he?”

KJVThen^G3767 the Jews^G2453 sought^G2212^(G5707) him^G846 at^G1722 the feast^G1859, and^G2532 said^G3004^(G5707), Where^G4226 is^G2076^(G5748) he^G1565?

¹² There was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning him. Some said, “He is a good man.” Others said, “Not so, but he leads the multitude astray.”

KJVAnd^G2532 there was^G2258^(G5713) much^G4183 murmuring^G1112 among^G1722 the people^G3793 concerning^G4012 him^G846: for some^G3303 said^G3004^(G5707),^G3754 He is^G2076^(G5748) a good man^G18: others^G1161^G243 said^G3004^(G5707), Nay^G3756; but^G235 he deceiveth^G4105^(G5719) the people^G3793.

¹³ Yet no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews.

KJVHowbeit^G3305 no man^G3762 spake^G2980^(G5707) openly^G3954 of^G4012 him^G846 for^G1223 fear^G5401 of the Jews^G2453.

¹⁴ But when it was now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.

KJVNow^G2235 about^G1161 the midst of^G3322^(G5723) the feast^G1859 Jesus^G2424 went up^G305^(G5627) into^G1519 the temple^G2411, and^G2532 taught^G1321^(G5707).

¹⁵ The Jews therefore marveled, saying, “How does this man know letters, having never been educated?”

KJVAnd^G2532 the Jews^G2453 marvelled^G2296^(G5707), saying^G3004^(G5723), How^G4459 knoweth^G1492^(G5758) this man^G3778 letters^G1121, having^G3129 never^G3361 learned^G3129^(G5761)?

¹⁶ Jesus therefore answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.

KJVJesus^G2424 answered^G611^(G5662) them^G846, and^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627), My^G1699 doctrine^G1322 is^G2076^(G5748) not^G3756 mine^G1699, but^G235 his that sent^G3992^(G5660) me^G3165.

¹⁷ If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God or if I am speaking from myself.

KJVIf^G1437 any man^G5100 will^G2309^(G5725) do^G4160^(G5721) his^G846 will^G2307, he shall know^G1097^(G5695) of^G4012 the doctrine^G1322, whether^G4220 it be^G2076^(G5748) of^G1537 God^G2316, or^G2228 whether I^G1473 speak^G2980^(G5719) of^G575 myself^G1683.

¹⁸ He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

KJVHe that speaketh^G2980^(G5723) of^G575 himself^G1438 seeketh^G2212^(G5719) his own^G2398 glory^G1391: but^G1161 he that seeketh^G2212^(G5723) his glory^G1391 that sent^G3992^(G5660) him^G846, the same^G3778 is^G2076^(G5748) true^G227, and^G2532 no^G3756 unrighteousness^G93 is^G2076^(G5748) in^G1722 him^G846.

¹⁹ Didn’t Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill me?”

KJVDid^G1325 not^G3756 Moses^G3475 give^G1325^(G5758) you^G5213 the law^G3551, and^G2532 yet none^G3762 of^G1537 you^G5216 keepeth^G4160^(G5719) the law^G3551? Why^G5101 go ye about^G2212^(G5719) to kill^G615^(G5658) me^G3165?

²⁰ The multitude answered, “You have a demon! Who seeks to kill you?”

KJVThe people^G3793 answered^G611^(G5662) and^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627), Thou hast^G2192^(G5719) a devil^G1140: who^G5101 goeth about^G2212^(G5719) to kill^G615^(G5658) thee^G4571?

²¹ Jesus answered them, “I did one work and you all marvel because of it.

KJVJesus^G2424 answered^G611^(G5662) and^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627) unto them^G846, I have done^G4160^(G5656) one^G1520 work^G2041, and^G2532 ye^G2296 all^G3956 marvel^G2296^(G5719).

²² Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a boy.

KJVMoses^G3475 therefore^G1223^G5124 gave^G1325^(G5758) unto you^G5213 circumcision^G4061;(not^G3756 because^G3754 it is^G2076^(G5748) of^G1537 Moses^G3475, but^G235 of^G1537 the fathers^G3962;) and^G2532 ye^G4059 on^G1722 the sabbath day^G4521 circumcise^G4059^(G5719) a man^G444.

²³ If a boy receives circumcision on the Sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because I made a man completely healthy on the Sabbath?

KJVIf^G1487 a man^G444 on^G1722 the sabbath day^G4521 receive^G2983^(G5719) circumcision^G4061, that^G3363 the law^G3551 of Moses^G3475 should^G3089 not^G3363 be broken^G3089^(G5686); are ye angry^G5520^(G5719) at me^G1698, because^G3754 I have made^G4160^(G5656) a man^G444 every whit^G3650 whole^G5199 on^G1722 the sabbath day^G4521?

²⁴ Don’t judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.”

KJVJudge^G2919^(G5720) not^G3361 according to^G2596 the appearance^G3799, but^G235 judge^G2919^(G5657) righteous^G1342 judgment^G2920.

²⁵ Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, “Isn’t this he whom they seek to kill?

KJVThen^G3767 said^G3004^(G5707) some^G5100 of^G1537 them of Jerusalem^G2415, Is^G2076^(G5748) not^G3756 this^G3778 he, whom^G3739 they seek^G2212^(G5719) to kill^G615^(G5658)?

²⁶ Behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is truly the Christ?

KJVBut^G2532, lo^G2396, he speaketh^G2980^(G5719) boldly^G3954, and^G2532 they say^G3004^(G5719) nothing^G3762 unto him^G846. Do^G1097 the rulers^G758 know^G1097^(G5627) indeed^G3379^G230 that^G3754 this^G3778 is^G2076^(G5748) the very^G230 Christ^G5547?

²⁷ However, we know where this man comes from, but when the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from.”

KJVHowbeit^G235 we know^G1492^(G5758) this man^G5126 whence^G4159 he is^G2076^(G5748): but^G1161 when^G3752 Christ^G5547 cometh^G2064^(G5741), no man^G3762 knoweth^G1097^(G5719) whence^G4159 he is^G2076^(G5748).

²⁸ Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, “You both know me, and know where I am from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you don’t know.

KJVThen^G3767 cried^G2896^(G5656) Jesus^G2424 in^G1722 the temple^G2411 as he taught^G1321^(G5723),^G2532 saying^G3004^(G5723), Ye both^G2504 know me^G1492^(G5758), and^G2532 ye know^G1492^(G5758) whence^G4159 I am^G1510^(G5748): and^G2532 I am^G2064 not^G3756 come^G2064^(G5754) of^G575 myself^G1683, but^G235 he that sent^G3992^(G5660) me^G3165 is^G2076^(G5748) true^G228, whom^G3739 ye^G5210 know^G1492^(G5758) not^G3756.

²⁹ I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me.”

KJVBut^G1161 I^G1473 know^G1492^(G5758) him^G846: for^G3754 I am^G1510^(G5748) from^G3844 him^G846, and he^G2548 hath sent^G649^(G5656) me^G3165.

³⁰ They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.

KJVThen^G3767 they sought^G2212^(G5707) to take^G4084^(G5658) him^G846: but^G2532 no man^G3762 laid^G1911^(G5627) hands^G5495 on^G1909 him^G846, because^G3754 his^G846 hour^G5610 was^G2064 not yet^G3768 come^G2064^(G5715).

³¹ But of the multitude, many believed in him. They said, “When the Christ comes, he won’t do more signs than those which this man has done, will he?”

KJVAnd^G1161 many^G4183 of^G1537 the people^G3793 believed^G4100^(G5656) on^G1519 him^G846, and^G2532 said^G3004^(G5707),^G3754 When^G3752 Christ^G5547 cometh^G2064^(G5632), will he do^G3385^G4160^(G5692) more^G4119 miracles^G4592 than these^G5130 which^G3739 this^G3778 man hath done^G4160^(G5656)?

³² The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.

KJVThe Pharisees^G5330 heard^G191^(G5656) that the people^G3793 murmured^G1111^(G5723) such things^G5023 concerning^G4012 him^G846; and^G2532 the Pharisees^G5330 and^G2532 the chief priests^G749 sent^G649^(G5656) officers^G5257 to^G2443 take^G4084^(G5661) him^G846.

³³ Then Jesus said, “I will be with you a little while longer, then I go to him who sent me.

KJVThen^G3767 said^G2036^(G5627) Jesus^G2424 unto them^G846, Yet^G2089 a little^G3398 while^G5550 am I^G1510^(G5748) with^G3326 you^G5216, and^G2532 then I go^G5217^(G5719) unto^G4314 him that sent^G3992^(G5660) me^G3165.

³⁴ You will seek me and won’t find me. You can’t come where I am.”

KJVYe shall seek^G2212^(G5692) me^G3165, and^G2532 shall^G2147 not^G3756 find^G2147^(G5692) me: and^G2532 where^G3699 I^G1473 am^G1510^(G5748), thither ye^G5210 cannot^G3756^G1410^(G5736) come^G2064^(G5629).

³⁵ The Jews therefore said among themselves, “Where will this man go that we won’t find him? Will he go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks?

KJVThen^G3767 said^G2036^(G5627) the Jews^G2453 among^G4314 themselves^G1438, Whither^G4226 will^G3195^(G5719) he^G3778 go^G4198^(G5738), that^G3754 we^G2249 shall^G2147 not^G3756 find^G2147^(G5692) him^G846? will^G3361^G3195^(G5719) he go^G4198^(G5738) unto^G1519 the dispersed^G1290 among the Gentiles^G1672, and^G2532 teach^G1321^(G5721) the Gentiles^G1672?

³⁶ What is this word that he said, ‘You will seek me, and won’t find me;’ and ‘Where I am, you can’t come’?”

KJVWhat^G5101 manner of saying^G3056 is^G2076^(G5748) this^G3778 that^G3739 he said^G2036^(G5627), Ye shall seek^G2212^(G5692) me^G3165, and^G2532 shall^G2147 not^G3756 find^G2147^(G5692) me: and^G2532 where^G3699 I^G1473 am^G1510^(G5748), thither ye^G5210 cannot^G3756^G1410^(G5736) come^G2064^(G5629)?

³⁷ Now on the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink!

KJV^G1161 In^G1722 the last^G2078 day^G2250, that great^G3173 day of the feast^G1859, Jesus^G2424 stood^G2476^(G5715) and^G2532 cried^G2896^(G5656), saying^G3004^(G5723), If^G1437 any man^G5100 thirst^G1372^(G5725), let him come^G2064^(G5737) unto^G4314 me^G3165, and^G2532 drink^G4095^(G5720).

³⁸ He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within him will flow rivers of living water.”

KJVHe that believeth^G4100^(G5723) on^G1519 me^G1691, as^G2531 the scripture^G1124 hath said^G2036^(G5627), out of^G1537 his^G846 belly^G2836 shall flow^G4482^(G5692) rivers^G4215 of living^G2198^(G5723) water^G5204.

³⁹ But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him were to receive. For the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus wasn’t yet glorified.

KJV(But^G1161 this^G5124 spake he^G2036^(G5627) of^G4012 the Spirit^G4151, which^G3739 they that believe^G4100^(G5723) on^G1519 him^G846 should^G3195^(G5707) receive^G2983^(G5721): for^G1063 the Holy^G40 Ghost^G4151 was^G2258^(G5713) not yet^G3768 given; because^G3754 that Jesus^G2424 was^G1392 not yet^G3764 glorified^G1392^(G5681).)

⁴⁰ Many of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, “This is truly the prophet.”

KJVMany^G4183 of^G1537 the people^G3793 therefore^G3767, when they heard^G191^(G5660) this saying^G3056, said^G3004^(G5707), Of a truth^G230 this^G3778 is^G2076^(G5748) the Prophet^G4396.

⁴¹ Others said, “This is the Christ.” But some said, “What, does the Christ come out of Galilee?

KJVOthers^G243 said^G3004^(G5707), This^G3778 is^G2076^(G5748) the Christ^G5547. But^G1161 some^G243 said^G3004^(G5707),^G1063 Shall^G3361 Christ^G5547 come^G2064^(G5736) out of^G1537 Galilee^G1056?

⁴² Hasn’t the Scripture said that the Christ comes of the offspring of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?”

KJVHath not^G3780 the scripture^G1124 said^G2036^(G5627), That^G3754 Christ^G5547 cometh^G2064^(G5736) of^G1537 the seed^G4690 of David^G1138, and^G2532 out of^G575 the town^G2968 of Bethlehem^G965, where^G3699 David^G1138 was^G2258^(G5713)?

⁴³ So a division arose in the multitude because of him.

KJVSo^G3767 there was^G1096^(G5633) a division^G4978 among^G1722 the people^G3793 because^G1223 of him^G846.

⁴⁴ Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.

KJVAnd^G1161 some^G5100 of^G1537 them^G846 would^G2309^(G5707) have taken^G4084^(G5658) him^G846; but^G235 no man^G3762 laid^G1911^(G5627) hands^G5495 on^G1909 him^G846.

⁴⁵ The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said to them, “Why didn’t you bring him?”

KJVThen^G3767 came^G2064^(G5627) the officers^G5257 to^G4314 the chief priests^G749 and^G2532 Pharisees^G5330; and^G2532 they^G1565 said^G2036^(G5627) unto them^G846, Why^G1302 have ye^G71 not^G3756 brought^G71^(G5627) him^G846?

⁴⁶ The officers answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!”

KJVThe officers^G5257 answered^G611^(G5662), Never^G3763 man^G444 spake^G3779^G2980^(G5656) like^G5613 this^G3778 man^G444.

⁴⁷ The Pharisees therefore answered them, “You aren’t also led astray, are you?

KJVThen^G3767 answered^G611^(G5662) them^G846 the Pharisees^G5330, Are^G4105 ye^G5210 also^G2532 deceived^G4105^(G5769)^G3361?

⁴⁸ Have any of the rulers or any of the Pharisees believed in him?

KJVHave any^G3387 of^G1537 the rulers^G758 or^G2228 of^G1537 the Pharisees^G5330 believed^G4100^(G5656) on^G1519 him^G846?

⁴⁹ But this multitude that doesn’t know the law is cursed.”

KJVBut^G235 this^G3778 people^G3793 who^G3588 knoweth^G1097^(G5723) not^G3361 the law^G3551 are^G1526^(G5748) cursed^G1944.

⁵⁰ Nicodemus (he who came to him by night, being one of them) said to them,

KJVNicodemus^G3530 saith^G3004^(G5719) unto^G4314 them^G846,(he that came^G2064^(G5631) to Jesus^G846 by^G4314 night^G3571, being^G5607^(G5752) one^G1520 of^G1537 them^G846,)

⁵¹ “Does our law judge a man unless it first hears from him personally and knows what he does?”

KJVDoth^G2919 our^G2257 law^G3551 judge^G2919^(G5719)^G3361 any man^G444, before^G4386^G3362 it hear^G191^(G5661)^G3844 him^G846, and^G2532 know^G1097^(G5632) what^G5101 he doeth^G4160^(G5719)?

⁵² They answered him, “Are you also from Galilee? Search and see that no prophet has arisen out of Galilee.”

KJVThey answered^G611^(G5662) and^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627) unto him^G846, Art^G3361^G1488^(G5748) thou^G4771 also^G2532 of^G1537 Galilee^G1056? Search^G2045^(G5657), and^G2532 look^G1492: for^G3754 out of^G1537 Galilee^G1056 ariseth^G1453^(G5769) no^G3756 prophet^G4396.

⁵³ Everyone went to his own house,

KJVAnd^G2532 every man^G1538 went^G4198^(G5675) unto^G1519 his own^G846 house^G3624.
