¹As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth.

KJVAnd^G2532 as Jesus passed by^G3855^(G5723), he saw^G1492^(G5627) a man^G444 which was blind^G5185 from^G1537 his birth^G1079.

² His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”

KJVAnd^G2532 his^G846 disciples^G3101 asked^G2065^(G5656) him^G846, saying^G3004^(G5723), Master^G4461, who^G5101 did sin^G264^(G5627), this man^G3778, or^G2228 his^G846 parents^G1118, that^G2443 he was born^G1080^(G5686) blind^G5185?

³ Jesus answered, “This man didn’t sin, nor did his parents, but that the works of God might be revealed in him.

KJVJesus^G2424 answered^G611^(G5662), Neither^G3777 hath^G264 this man^G3778 sinned^G264^(G5627), nor^G3777 his^G846 parents^G1118: but^G235 that^G2443 the works^G2041 of God^G2316 should be made manifest^G5319^(G5686) in^G1722 him^G846.

⁴ I must work the works of him who sent me while it is day. The night is coming, when no one can work.

KJVI^G1691 must^G1163^(G5748) work^G2038^(G5738) the works^G2041 of him that sent^G3992^(G5660) me^G3165, while^G2193 it is^G2076^(G5748) day^G2250: the night^G3571 cometh^G2064^(G5736), when^G3753 no man^G3762 can^G1410^(G5736) work^G2038^(G5738).

⁵ While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”

KJVAs long as^G3752 I am^G5600^(G5753) in^G1722 the world^G2889, I am^G1510^(G5748) the light^G5457 of the world^G2889.

⁶ When he had said this, he spat on the ground, made mud with the saliva, anointed the blind man’s eyes with the mud,

KJVWhen he had thus^G5023 spoken^G2036^(G5631), he spat^G4429^(G5656) on the ground^G5476, and^G2532 made^G4160^(G5656) clay^G4081 of^G1537 the spittle^G4427, and^G2532 he anointed^G2025^(G5656)^G1909 the eyes^G3788 of the blind man^G5185 with the clay^G4081,

⁷ and said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means “Sent”). So he went away, washed, and came back seeing.

KJVAnd^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627) unto him^G846, Go^G5217^(G5720), wash^G3538^(G5669) in^G1519 the pool^G2861 of Siloam^G4611,(which^G3739 is by interpretation^G2059^(G5743), Sent^G649^(G5772).) He went his way^G565^(G5627) therefore^G3767, and^G2532 washed^G3538^(G5668), and^G2532 came^G2064^(G5627) seeing^G991^(G5723).

⁸ Therefore the neighbors and those who saw that he was blind before said, “Isn’t this he who sat and begged?”

KJVThe neighbours^G1069 therefore^G3767, and^G2532 they which before^G4386 had seen^G2334^(G5723) him^G846 that^G3754 he was^G2258^(G5713) blind^G5185, said^G3004^(G5707), Is^G2076^(G5748) not^G3756 this^G3778 he that sat^G2521^(G5740) and^G2532 begged^G4319^(G5723)?

⁹ Others were saying, “It is he.” Still others were saying, “He looks like him.” He said, “I am he.”

KJVSome^G243 said^G3004^(G5707),^G3754 This^G3778 is he^G2076^(G5748):^G1161 others^G243 said,^G3754 He is^G2076^(G5748) like^G3664 him^G846: but he^G1565 said^G3004^(G5707),^G3754 I^G1473 am^G1510^(G5748) he.

¹⁰ They therefore were asking him, “How were your eyes opened?”

KJVTherefore^G3767 said they^G3004^(G5707) unto him^G846, How^G4459 were^G455 thine^G4675 eyes^G3788 opened^G455^(G5681)?

¹¹ He answered, “A man called Jesus made mud, anointed my eyes, and said to me, ‘Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.’ So I went away and washed, and I received sight.”

KJVHe^G1565 answered^G611^(G5662) and^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627), A man^G444 that is called^G3004^(G5746) Jesus^G2424 made^G4160^(G5656) clay^G4081, and^G2532 anointed^G2025^(G5656) mine^G3450 eyes^G3788, and^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627) unto me^G3427, Go^G5217^(G5720) to^G1519 the pool^G2861 of Siloam^G4611, and^G2532 wash^G3538^(G5669): and^G1161 I went^G565^(G5631) and^G2532 washed^G3538^(G5671), and I received sight^G308^(G5656).

¹² Then they asked him, “Where is he?” He said, “I don’t know.”

KJVThen^G3767 said they^G2036^(G5627) unto him^G846, Where^G4226 is^G2076^(G5748) he^G1565? He said^G3004^(G5719), I know^G1492^(G5758) not^G3756.

¹³ They brought him who had been blind to the Pharisees.

KJVThey brought^G71^(G5719) to^G4314 the Pharisees^G5330 him^G846 that aforetime^G4218 was blind^G5185.

¹⁴ It was a Sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.

KJVAnd^G1161 it was^G2258^(G5713) the sabbath day^G4521 when^G3753 Jesus^G2424 made^G4160^(G5656) the clay^G4081, and^G2532 opened^G455^(G5656) his^G846 eyes^G3788.

¹⁵ Again therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he received his sight. He said to them, “He put mud on my eyes, I washed, and I see.”

KJVThen^G3767 again^G3825 the Pharisees^G5330 also^G2532 asked^G2065^(G5707) him^G846 how^G4459 he had received his sight^G308^(G5656).^G1161 He said^G2036^(G5627) unto them^G846, He put^G2007^(G5656) clay^G4081 upon^G1909 mine^G3450 eyes^G3788, and^G2532 I washed^G3538^(G5668), and^G2532 do see^G991^(G5719).

¹⁶ Some therefore of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, because he doesn’t keep the Sabbath.” Others said, “How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?” So there was division among them.

KJVTherefore^G3767 said^G3004^(G5707) some^G5100 of^G1537 the Pharisees^G5330, This^G3778 man^G444 is^G2076^(G5748) not^G3756 of^G3844 God^G2316, because^G3754 he keepeth^G5083^(G5719) not^G3756 the sabbath day^G4521. Others^G243 said^G3004^(G5707), How^G4459 can^G1410^(G5736) a man^G444 that is a sinner^G268 do^G4160^(G5721) such^G5108 miracles^G4592? And^G2532 there was^G2258^(G5713) a division^G4978 among^G1722 them^G846.

¹⁷ Therefore they asked the blind man again, “What do you say about him, because he opened your eyes?” He said, “He is a prophet.”

KJVThey say^G3004^(G5719) unto the blind man^G5185 again^G3825, What^G5101 sayest^G3004^(G5719) thou^G4771 of^G4012 him^G846, that^G3754 he hath opened^G455^(G5656) thine^G4675 eyes^G3788? He said^G2036^(G5627),^G3754^G1161 He is^G2076^(G5748) a prophet^G4396.

¹⁸ The Jews therefore didn’t believe concerning him, that he had been blind and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him who had received his sight,

KJVBut^G3767 the Jews^G2453 did^G4100 not^G3756 believe^G4100^(G5656) concerning^G4012 him^G846, that^G3754 he had been^G2258^(G5713) blind^G5185, and^G2532 received his sight^G308^(G5656), until^G2193^G3755 they called^G5455^(G5656) the parents^G1118 of him^G846 that had received his sight^G308^(G5660).

¹⁹ and asked them, “Is this your son, whom you say was born blind? How then does he now see?”

KJVAnd^G2532 they asked^G2065^(G5656) them^G846, saying^G3004^(G5723), Is^G2076^(G5748) this^G3778 your^G5216 son^G5207, who^G3739 ye^G5210 say^G3004^(G5719)^G3754 was born^G1080^(G5681) blind^G5185? how^G4459 then^G3767 doth he^G991 now^G737 see^G991^(G5719)?

²⁰ His parents answered them, “We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;

KJVHis^G846 parents^G1118 answered^G611^(G5662) them^G846 and^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627), We know^G1492^(G5758) that^G3754 this^G3778 is^G2076^(G5748) our^G2257 son^G5207, and^G2532 that^G3754 he was born^G1080^(G5681) blind^G5185:

²¹ but how he now sees, we don’t know; or who opened his eyes, we don’t know. He is of age. Ask him. He will speak for himself.”

KJVBut^G1161 by what means^G4459 he^G991 now^G3568 seeth^G991^(G5719), we know^G1492^(G5758) not^G3756; or^G2228 who^G5101 hath opened^G455^(G5656) his^G846 eyes^G3788, we^G2249 know^G1492^(G5758) not^G3756: he^G846 is^G2192^(G5719) of age^G2244; ask^G2065^(G5657) him^G846: he^G846 shall speak^G2980^(G5692) for^G4012 himself^G848.

²² His parents said these things because they feared the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed that if any man would confess him as Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue.

KJVThese^G5023 words spake^G2036^(G5627) his^G846 parents^G1118, because^G3754 they feared^G5399^(G5711) the Jews^G2453: for^G1063 the Jews^G2453 had agreed^G4934^(G5717) already^G2235, that^G2443 if^G1437 any man^G5100 did confess^G3670^(G5661) that he^G846 was Christ^G5547, he should be^G1096^(G5638) put out of the synagogue^G656.

²³ Therefore his parents said, “He is of age. Ask him.”

KJVTherefore^G1223^G5124 said^G2036^(G5627) his^G846 parents^G1118,^G3754 He is^G2192^(G5719) of age^G2244; ask^G2065^(G5657) him^G846.

²⁴ So they called the man who was blind a second time, and said to him, “Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner.”

KJVThen^G3767 again^G1208^G1537 called they^G5455^(G5656) the man^G444 that^G3739 was^G2258^(G5713) blind^G5185, and^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627) unto him^G846, Give^G1325^(G5628) God^G2316 the praise^G1391: we^G2249 know^G1492^(G5758) that^G3754 this^G3778 man^G444 is^G2076^(G5748) a sinner^G268.

²⁵ He therefore answered, “I don’t know if he is a sinner. One thing I do know: that though I was blind, now I see.”

KJV^G3767 He^G1565 answered^G611^(G5662) and^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627), Whether^G1487 he be^G2076^(G5748) a sinner^G268 or no, I know^G1492^(G5758) not^G3756: one thing^G1520 I know^G1492^(G5758), that^G3754, whereas I was^G5607^(G5752) blind^G5185, now^G737 I see^G991^(G5719).

²⁶ They said to him again, “What did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?”

KJVThen^G1161 said they^G2036^(G5627) to him^G846 again^G3825, What^G5101 did he^G4160^(G5656) to thee^G4671? how^G4459 opened he^G455^(G5656) thine^G4675 eyes^G3788?

²⁷ He answered them, “I told you already, and you didn’t listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You don’t also want to become his disciples, do you?”

KJVHe answered^G611^(G5662) them^G846, I have told^G2036^(G5627) you^G5213 already^G2235, and^G2532 ye did^G191 not^G3756 hear^G191^(G5656): wherefore^G5101 would^G2309^(G5719) ye hear^G191^(G5721) it again^G3825? will^G3361^G2309^(G5719) ye^G5210 also^G2532 be^G1096^(G5635) his^G846 disciples^G3101?

²⁸ They insulted him and said, “You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.

KJVThen^G3767 they reviled^G3058^(G5656) him^G846, and^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627), Thou^G4771 art^G1488^(G5748) his^G1565 disciple^G3101; but^G1161 we^G2249 are^G2070^(G5748) Moses^G3475' disciples^G3101.

²⁹ We know that God has spoken to Moses. But as for this man, we don’t know where he comes from.”

KJVWe^G2249 know^G1492^(G5758) that^G3754 God^G2316 spake^G2980^(G5758) unto Moses^G3475: as for this^G1161^G5126 fellow, we know^G1492^(G5758) not^G3756 from whence^G4159 he is^G2076^(G5748).

³⁰ The man answered them, “How amazing! You don’t know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes.

KJVThe man^G444 answered^G611^(G5662) and^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627) unto them^G846, Why^G1063 herein^G1722^G5129 is^G2076^(G5748) a marvellous thing^G2298, that^G3754 ye^G5210 know^G1492^(G5758) not^G3756 from whence^G4159 he is^G2076^(G5748), and^G2532 yet he hath opened^G455^(G5656) mine^G3450 eyes^G3788.

³¹ We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does his will, he listens to him.

KJVNow^G1161 we know^G1492^(G5758) that^G3754 God^G2316 heareth^G191^(G5719) not^G3756 sinners^G268: but^G235 if^G1437 any man^G5100 be^G5600^(G5753) a worshipper of God^G2318, and^G2532 doeth^G4160^(G5725) his^G846 will^G2307, him^G5127 he heareth^G191^(G5719).

³² Since the world began it has never been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of someone born blind.

KJVSince^G1537 the world began^G165 was it^G191 not^G3756 heard^G191^(G5681) that^G3754 any man^G5100 opened^G455^(G5656) the eyes^G3788 of one that was born^G1080^(G5772) blind^G5185.

³³ If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.”

KJVIf^G1508 this man^G3778 were^G2258^(G5713) not^G1508 of^G3844 God^G2316, he could^G1410^(G5711)^G3756 do^G4160^(G5721) nothing^G3762.

³⁴ They answered him, “You were altogether born in sins, and do you teach us?” Then they threw him out.

KJVThey answered^G611^(G5662) and^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627) unto him^G846, Thou^G4771 wast^G1080 altogether^G3650 born^G1080^(G5681) in^G1722 sins^G266, and^G2532 dost thou^G4771 teach^G1321^(G5719) us^G2248? And^G2532 they cast^G1544^(G5627) him^G846 out^G1854.

³⁵ Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and finding him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of God?”

KJVJesus^G2424 heard^G191^(G5656) that^G3754 they had cast^G1544^(G5627) him^G846 out^G1854; and^G2532 when he had found^G2147^(G5631) him^G846, he said^G2036^(G5627) unto him^G846, Dost^G4100 thou^G4771 believe^G4100^(G5719) on^G1519 the Son^G5207 of God^G2316?

³⁶ He answered, “Who is he, Lord, that I may believe in him?”

KJVHe^G1565 answered^G611^(G5662) and^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627), Who^G5101 is he^G2076^(G5748), Lord^G2962, that^G2443 I might believe^G4100^(G5661) on^G1519 him^G846?

³⁷ Jesus said to him, “You have both seen him, and it is he who speaks with you.”

KJVAnd^G1161 Jesus^G2424 said^G2036^(G5627) unto him^G846, Thou hast^G3708 both^G2532 seen^G3708^(G5758) him^G846, and^G2532 it is^G2076^(G5748) he^G1565 that talketh^G2980^(G5723) with^G3326 thee^G4675.

³⁸ He said, “Lord, I believe!” and he worshiped him.

KJVAnd^G1161 he said^G5346^(G5713), Lord^G2962, I believe^G4100^(G5719). And^G2532 he worshipped^G4352^(G5656) him^G846.

³⁹ Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment, that those who don’t see may see; and that those who see may become blind.”

KJVAnd^G2532 Jesus^G2424 said^G2036^(G5627), For^G1519 judgment^G2917 I^G1473 am come^G2064^(G5627) into^G1519 this^G5126 world^G2889, that^G2443 they which see^G991^(G5723) not^G3361 might see^G991^(G5725); and^G2532 that they which see^G991^(G5723) might be made^G1096^(G5638) blind^G5185.

⁴⁰ Those of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and said to him, “Are we also blind?”

KJVAnd^G2532 some of^G1537 the Pharisees^G5330 which^G3588 were^G5607^(G5752) with^G3326 him^G846 heard^G191^(G5656) these words^G5023, and^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627) unto him^G846, Are^G3361^G2070^(G5748) we^G2249 blind^G5185 also^G2532?

⁴¹ Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you say, ‘We see.’ Therefore your sin remains.

KJVJesus^G2424 said^G2036^(G5627) unto them^G846, If^G1487 ye were^G2258^(G5713) blind^G5185, ye should^G302 have^G2192^(G5707) no^G3756 sin^G266: but^G1161 now^G3568 ye say^G3004^(G5719),^G3754 We see^G991^(G5719); therefore^G3767 your^G5216 sin^G266 remaineth^G3306^(G5719).

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).
