John 8

1Yahusha went unto the mount of Olives. 2And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them. 3And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, 4They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. 5Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest you? 6This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Yahusha stooped down, and with finger wrote on the ground, . 7So 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. 8And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. 9And they which heard , being convicted by conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, unto the last: and Yahusha was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. 10When Yahusha had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those your accusers? has no man condemned you? 11She said, No man, Lord. And Yahusha said unto her, Neither do I condemn you: go, and sin no more. 12Then spake Yahusha 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. 13The Pharisees therefore said unto him, you bearest record of thyself; your record is not true. 14Yahusha answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, my record is true: for I know from where I came, and where I go; but ye cannot tell from where I come, and where I go. 15Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man. 16And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me. 17It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true. 18I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me. 19Then said they unto him, Where is your Father? Yahusha answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also. 20These words spake Yahusha in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come. 21Then said Yahusha again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: where I go, ye cannot come. 22Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he says, where I go, ye cannot come. 23And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world. 24I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am , ye shall die in your sins. 25Then said they unto him, Who art you? And Yahusha says unto them, Even that I said unto you from the beginning. 26I 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. 27They understood not that he spake to them of the Father. 28Then said Yahusha unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am , and I do nothing of myself; but as my Father has taught me, I speak these things. 29And he that sent me is with me: the Father has not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him. 30As he spake these words, many believed on him. 31Then said Yahusha to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, are ye my disciples indeed; 32And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. 33They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest you, Ye shall be made free? 34Yahusha answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. 35And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: the Son abideth ever. 36If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. 37I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word has no place in you. 38I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father. 39They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Yahusha says unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham. 40But now ye seek to kill me, a man that has told you the truth, which I have heard of Elohim: this did not Abraham. 41Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, Elohim. 42Yahusha said unto them, If Elohim were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from Elohim; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. 43Why do ye not understand my speech? because ye cannot hear my word. 44Ye are of 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. 45And because I tell the truth, ye believe me not. 46Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me? 47He that is of Elohim heareth Elohim's words: ye therefore hear not, because ye are not of Elohim. 48Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that you art a Samaritan, and hast a devil? 49Yahusha answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me. 50And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth. 51Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death. 52Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that you hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and you sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death. 53Art you greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest you thyself? 54Yahusha answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your Elohim: 55Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying. 56Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw , and was glad. 57Then said the Jews unto him, you art not yet fifty years old, and hast you seen Abraham? 58Yahusha said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. 59Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Yahusha hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
