John 8

But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.

2 Now early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people came to Him; and He sat down and taught them. 3 Then the scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. And when they had set her in the midst, 4 they said to Him, “Teacher, this woman was caught in adultery, in the very act. 5 Now Moses, in the law, commanded us that such should be stoned. But what do You say?” 6 This they said, testing Him, that they might have something of which to accuse Him. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with His finger, as though He did not hear.

7 So when they continued asking Him, He raised Himself up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first.” 8 And again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. 9 Then those who heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning with the oldest even to the last. And Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. 10 When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, “Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?”

11 She said, “No one, Lord.”

And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.”

12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”

13 The Pharisees therefore said to Him, “You bear witness of Yourself; Your witness is not true.”

14 Jesus answered and said to them, “Even if I bear witness of Myself, My witness is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from and where I am going. 15 You judge according to the flesh; I judge no one. 16 And yet if I do judge, My judgment is true; for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent Me. 17 It is also written in your law that the testimony of two men is true. 18 I am One who bears witness of Myself, and the Father who sent Me bears witness of Me.”

19 Then they said to Him, “Where is Your Father?”

Jesus answered, “You know neither Me nor My Father. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also.”

20 These words Jesus spoke in the treasury, as He taught in the temple; and no one laid hands on Him, for His hour had not yet come.

21 Then Jesus said to them again, “I am going away, and you will seek Me, and will die in your sin. Where I go you cannot come.”

22 So the Jews said, “Will He kill Himself, because He says, ‘Where I go you cannot come’?”

23 And He said to them, “You are from beneath; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world. 24 Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.”

25 Then they said to Him, “Who are You?”

And Jesus said to them, “Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning. 26 I have many things to say and to judge concerning you, but He who sent Me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I heard from Him.”

27 They did not understand that He spoke to them of the Father.

28 Then Jesus said to them, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing of Myself; but as My Father taught Me, I speak these things. 29 And He who sent Me is with Me. The Father has not left Me alone, for I always do those things that please Him.” 30 As He spoke these words, many believed in Him.

31 Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. 32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

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

34 Jesus answered them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. 35 And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. 36 Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.

37 “I know that you are Abraham’s descendants, but you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you. 38 I speak what I have seen with My Father, and you do what you have seen with your father.”

39 They answered and said to Him, “Abraham is our father.”

Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham. 40 But now you seek to kill Me, a Man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham did not do this. 41 You do the deeds of your father.”

Then they said to Him, “We were not born of fornication; we have one Father—God.”

42 Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and came from God; nor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me. 43 Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word. 44 You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it. 45 But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me. 46 Which of you convicts Me of sin? And if I tell the truth, why do you not believe Me? 47 He who is of God hears God’s words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God.”

48 Then the Jews answered and said to Him, “Do we not say rightly that You are a Samaritan and have a demon?”

49 Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon; but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me. 50 And I do not seek My own glory; there is One who seeks and judges. 51 Most assuredly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he shall never see death.”

52 Then the Jews said to Him, “Now we know that You have a demon! Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and You say, ‘If anyone keeps My word he shall never taste death.’ 53 Are You greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? And the prophets are dead. Who do You make Yourself out to be?”

54 Jesus answered, “If I honor Myself, My honor is nothing. It is My Father who honors Me, of whom you say that He is your God. 55 Yet you have not known Him, but I know Him. And if I say, ‘I do not know Him,’ I shall be a liar like you; but I do know Him and keep His word. 56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad.”

57 Then the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?”

58 Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.”

59 Then they took up stones to throw at Him; but Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.

約翰福音 8

於是各人都回家去了。耶穌卻往橄欖山去。 2 清早又回到殿裡,眾百姓都到他那裡去,他就坐下教訓他們。 3 文士和法利賽人帶著一個行淫時被拿的婦人來,叫她站在當中, 4 就對耶穌說:「夫子,這婦人是正行淫之時被拿的。 5 摩西在律法上吩咐我們把這樣的婦人用石頭打死,你說該把她怎麼樣呢?」 6 他們說這話乃試探耶穌,要得著告他的把柄。耶穌卻彎著腰,用指頭在地上畫字。 7 他們還是不住地問他,耶穌就直起腰來,對他們說:「你們中間誰是沒有罪的,誰就可以先拿石頭打她。」 8 於是又彎著腰,用指頭在地上畫字。 9 他們聽見這話,就從老到少,一個一個地都出去了,只剩下耶穌一人,還有那婦人仍然站在當中。

10 耶穌就直起腰來,對她說:「婦人,那些人在哪裡呢?沒有人定你的罪嗎?」 11 她說:「主啊,沒有。」耶穌說:「我也不定你的罪。去吧,從此不要再犯罪了!」

12 耶穌又對眾人說:「我是世界的光。跟從我的,就不在黑暗裡走,必要得著生命的光。」 13 法利賽人對他說:「你是為自己作見證,你的見證不真。」 14 耶穌說:「我雖然為自己作見證,我的見證還是真的;因我知道我從哪裡來,往哪裡去。你們卻不知道我從哪裡來,往哪裡去。 15 你們是以外貌判斷人,我卻不判斷人。 16 就是判斷人,我的判斷也是真的,因為不是我獨自在這裡,還有差我來的父與我同在。 17 你們的律法上也記著說:『兩個人的見證是真的。』 18 我是為自己作見證,還有差我來的父也是為我作見證。」 19 他們就問他說:「你的父在哪裡?」耶穌回答說:「你們不認識我,也不認識我的父;若是認識我,也就認識我的父。」 20 這些話是耶穌在殿裡的庫房教訓人時所說的,也沒有人拿他,因為他的時候還沒有到。

21 耶穌又對他們說:「我要去了,你們要找我,並且你們要死在罪中。我所去的地方你們不能到。」 22 猶太人說:「他說『我所去的地方你們不能到』,難道他要自盡嗎?」 23 耶穌對他們說:「你們是從下頭來的,我是從上頭來的;你們是屬這世界的,我不是屬這世界的。 24 所以我對你們說,你們要死在罪中;你們若不信我是基督,必要死在罪中。」 25 他們就問他說:「你是誰?」耶穌對他們說:「就是我從起初所告訴你們的。 26 我有許多事講論你們,判斷你們;但那差我來的是真的,我在他那裡所聽見的,我就傳給世人。」 27 他們不明白耶穌是指著父說的。 28 所以耶穌說:「你們舉起人子以後,必知道我是基督,並且知道我沒有一件事是憑著自己做的。我說這些話乃是照著父所教訓我的。 29 那差我來的是與我同在,他沒有撇下我獨自在這裡,因為我常做他所喜悅的事。」 30 耶穌說這話的時候,就有許多人信他。

31 耶穌對信他的猶太人說:「你們若常常遵守我的道,就真是我的門徒, 32 你們必曉得真理,真理必叫你們得以自由。」 33 他們回答說:「我們是亞伯拉罕的後裔,從來沒有做過誰的奴僕,你怎麼說『你們必得以自由』呢?」 34 耶穌回答說:「我實實在在地告訴你們:所有犯罪的就是罪的奴僕。 35 奴僕不能永遠住在家裡,兒子是永遠住在家裡。 36 所以天父的兒子若叫你們自由,你們就真自由了。

37 「我知道你們是亞伯拉罕的子孫,你們卻想要殺我,因為你們心裡容不下我的道。 38 我所說的,是在我父那裡看見的;你們所行的,是在你們的父那裡聽見的。」 39 他們說:「我們的父就是亞伯拉罕!」耶穌說:「你們若是亞伯拉罕的兒子,就必行亞伯拉罕所行的事。 40 我將在神那裡所聽見的真理告訴了你們,現在你們卻想要殺我,這不是亞伯拉罕所行的事。 41 你們是行你們父所行的事。」他們說:「我們不是從淫亂生的。我們只有一位父,就是神!」

42 耶穌說:「倘若神是你們的父,你們就必愛我。因為我本是出於神,也是從神而來;並不是由著自己來,乃是他差我來。 43 你們為什麼不明白我的話呢?無非是因你們不能聽我的道。 44 你們是出於你們的父魔鬼,你們父的私慾你們偏要行。他從起初是殺人的,不守真理,因他心裡沒有真理。他說謊是出於自己,因他本來是說謊的,也是說謊之人的父。 45 我將真理告訴你們,你們就因此不信我。 46 你們中間誰能指證我有罪呢?我既然將真理告訴你們,為什麼不信我呢? 47 出於神的必聽神的話,你們不聽,因為你們不是出於神。」 48 猶太人回答說:「我們說你是撒馬利亞人,並且是鬼附著的,這話豈不正對嗎?」 49 耶穌說:「我不是鬼附著的。我尊敬我的父,你們倒輕慢我。 50 我不求自己的榮耀,有一位為我求榮耀、定是非的。 51 我實實在在地告訴你們:人若遵守我的道,就永遠不見死。」 52 猶太人對他說:「現在我們知道你是鬼附著的。亞伯拉罕死了,眾先知也死了,你還說『人若遵守我的道,就永遠不嘗死味』。 53 難道你比我們的祖宗亞伯拉罕還大嗎?他死了,眾先知也死了。你將自己當做什麼人呢?」 54 耶穌回答說:「我若榮耀自己,我的榮耀就算不得什麼。榮耀我的乃是我的父,就是你們所說是你們的神。 55 你們未曾認識他,我卻認識他。我若說不認識他,我就是說謊的,像你們一樣。但我認識他,也遵守他的道。

56 「你們的祖宗亞伯拉罕歡歡喜喜地仰望我的日子,既看見了,就快樂。」 57 猶太人說:「你還沒有五十歲,豈見過亞伯拉罕呢?」 58 耶穌說:「我實實在在地告訴你們:還沒有亞伯拉罕就有了我。」 59 於是他們拿石頭要打他,耶穌卻躲藏,從殿裡出去了。
