1[an error occurred while processing this directive]1but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
2[an error occurred while processing this directive]2Early in the morning he came again to the temple. All the people came to him, and he sat down and taught them.
3[an error occurred while processing this directive]3The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery, and placing her in the midst
4[an error occurred while processing this directive]4they said to him, “Teacher, this woman has been caught in the act of adultery.
5[an error occurred while processing this directive]5Now in the Law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. So what do you say?”
6[an error occurred while processing this directive]6This they said to test him, that they might have some charge to bring against him. Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground.
7[an error occurred while processing this directive]7And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.”
8[an error occurred while processing this directive]8And once more he bent down and wrote on the ground.
9[an error occurred while processing this directive]9But when they heard it, they went away one by one, beginning with the older ones, and Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him.
10[an error occurred while processing this directive]10Jesus stood up and said to her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”
11[an error occurred while processing this directive]11She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more.” ]]
12[an error occurred while processing this directive]12Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
13[an error occurred while processing this directive]13So the Pharisees said to him, “You are bearing witness about yourself; your testimony is not true.”
14[an error occurred while processing this directive]14Jesus answered, “Even if I do bear witness about myself, my testimony is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going, but you do not know where I come from or where I am going.
15[an error occurred while processing this directive]15You judge according to the flesh; I judge no one.
16[an error occurred while processing this directive]16Yet even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for it is not I alone who judge, but I and the Father who sent me.
17[an error occurred while processing this directive]17In your Law it is written that the testimony of two people is true.
18[an error occurred while processing this directive]18I am the one who bears witness about myself, and the Father who sent me bears witness about me.”
19[an error occurred while processing this directive]19They said to him therefore, “Where is your Father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither me nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father also.”
20[an error occurred while processing this directive]20These words he spoke in the treasury, as he taught in the temple; but no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.
21[an error occurred while processing this directive]21So he said to them again, “I am going away, and you will seek me, and you will die in your sin. Where I am going, you cannot come.”
22[an error occurred while processing this directive]22So the Jews said, “Will he kill himself, since he says, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come’?”
23[an error occurred while processing this directive]23He said to them, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.
24[an error occurred while processing this directive]24I told you that you would die in your sins, for unless you believe that I am he you will die in your sins.”
25[an error occurred while processing this directive]25So they said to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them, “Just what I have been telling you from the beginning.
26[an error occurred while processing this directive]26I have much to say about you and much to judge, but he who sent me is true, and I declare to the world what I have heard from him.”
27[an error occurred while processing this directive]27They did not understand that he had been speaking to them about the Father.
28[an error occurred while processing this directive]28So Jesus said to them, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and that I do nothing on my own authority, but speak just as the Father taught me.
29[an error occurred while processing this directive]29And he who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him.”
30[an error occurred while processing this directive]30As he was saying these things, many believed in him.
31[an error occurred while processing this directive]31So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples,
32[an error occurred while processing this directive]32and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
33[an error occurred while processing this directive]33They answered him, “We are offspring of Abraham and have never been enslaved to anyone. How is it that you say, ‘You will become free’?”
34[an error occurred while processing this directive]34Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin.
35[an error occurred while processing this directive]35The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son remains forever.
36[an error occurred while processing this directive]36So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
37[an error occurred while processing this directive]37I know that you are offspring of Abraham; yet you seek to kill me because my word finds no place in you.
38[an error occurred while processing this directive]38I speak of what I have seen with my Father, and you do what you have heard from your father.”
39[an error occurred while processing this directive]39They answered him, “Abraham is our father.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would be doing the works Abraham did,
40[an error occurred while processing this directive]40but now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. This is not what Abraham did.
41[an error occurred while processing this directive]41You are doing the works your father did.” They said to him, “We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father—even God.”
42[an error occurred while processing this directive]42Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and I am here. I came not of my own accord, but he sent me.
43[an error occurred while processing this directive]43Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to hear my word.
44[an error occurred while processing this directive]44You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
45[an error occurred while processing this directive]45But because I tell the truth, you do not believe me.
46[an error occurred while processing this directive]46Which one of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?
47[an error occurred while processing this directive]47Whoever is of God hears the words of God. The reason why you do not hear them is that you are not of God.”
48[an error occurred while processing this directive]48The Jews answered him, “Are we not right in saying that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?”
49[an error occurred while processing this directive]49Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.
50[an error occurred while processing this directive]50Yet I do not seek my own glory; there is One who seeks it, and he is the judge.
51[an error occurred while processing this directive]51Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death.”
52[an error occurred while processing this directive]52The Jews said to him, “Now we know that you have a demon! Abraham died, as did the prophets, yet you say, ‘If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste death.’
53[an error occurred while processing this directive]53Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? And the prophets died! Who do you make yourself out to be?”
54[an error occurred while processing this directive]54Jesus answered, “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say, ‘He is our God.’
55[an error occurred while processing this directive]55But you have not known him. I know him. If I were to say that I do not know him, I would be a liar like you, but I do know him and I keep his word.
56[an error occurred while processing this directive]56Your father Abraham rejoiced that he would see my day. He saw it and was glad.”
57[an error occurred while processing this directive]57So the Jews said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?”
58[an error occurred while processing this directive]58Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.”
59[an error occurred while processing this directive]59So they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple.
