| 8:1 |
 esus went vnto ye Mount of Oliues: |
|
| 8:2 |
And earely in the morning hee came againe into the Temple, and all the people came vnto him, and he sate downe, and taught them. |
|
| 8:3 |
And the Scribes and Pharisees brought vnto him a woman taken in adultery, and when they had set her in the mids, |
|
| 8:4 |
They say vnto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. |
|
| 8:5 |
Now Moses in the Law commanded vs, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? |
|
| 8:6 |
This they said, tempting him, that they might haue to accuse him. But Iesus stouped downe, and with his finger wrote on the ground as though he heard them not. |
|
| 8:7 |
So when they continued asking him, hee lift vp himselfe, and saide vnto them, Hee that is without sinne among you, let him first cast a stone at her. |
|
| 8:8 |
And againe, hee stouped downe, and wrote on the ground. |
|
| 8:9 |
And they which heard it, being conuicted by their owne conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, euen vnto the last: and Iesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. |
|
| 8:10 |
When Iesus had lift vp himselfe, and saw none but the woman, hee said vnto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? Hath no man condemned thee? |
|
| 8:11 |
She saide, No man, Lord. And Iesus saide vnto her, Neither doe I condemne thee: Goe, and sinne no more. |
|
| 8:12 |
Then spake Iesus againe vnto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth mee, shall not walke in darkenesse, but shall haue the light of life. |
|
| 8:13 |
The Pharisees therefore said vnto him, Thou bearest record of thy selfe, thy record is not true. |
|
| 8:14 |
Iesus answered, and said vnto them, Though I beare record of my selfe, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I goe: but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I goe. |
|
| 8:15 |
Yee iudge after the flesh, I iudge no man. |
|
| 8:16 |
And yet if I iudge, my iudgement is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me. |
|
| 8:17 |
It is also written in your Law, that the testimonie of two men is true. |
|
| 8:18 |
I am one that beare witnesse of my selfe, and the Father that sent mee, beareth witnesse of me. |
|
| 8:19 |
Then said they vnto him, Where is thy Father? Iesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had knowen mee, yee should haue knowen my Father also. |
|
| 8:20 |
These words spake Iesus in the treasury, as hee taught in the Temple: and no man layd hands on him, for his houre was not yet come. |
|
| 8:21 |
Then saide Iesus againe vnto them, I goe my way, and ye shall seeke me, & shall die in your sinnes: Whither I goe, ye cannot come. |
|
| 8:22 |
Then said the Iewes, Will hee kill himselfe? because he saith, Whither I goe, ye cannot come. |
|
| 8:23 |
And hee said vnto them, Yee are from beneath, I am from aboue: Yee are of this world, I am not of this world. |
|
| 8:24 |
I said therefore vnto you, that ye shall die in your sinnes. For if yee beleeue not that I am hee, yee shall die in your sinnes. |
|
| 8:25 |
Then said they vnto him, Who art thou? And Iesus saith vnto them, Euen the same that I saide vnto you from the beginning. |
|
| 8:26 |
I haue many things to say, and to iudge of you: But hee that sent mee is true, and I speake to the world, those things which I haue heard of him. |
|
| 8:27 |
They vnderstood not that hee spake to them of the Father. |
|
| 8:28 |
Then saide Iesus vnto them, When yee haue lift vp the Sonne of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I doe nothing of my selfe: but as my Father hath taught mee, I speake these things. |
|
| 8:29 |
And he that sent me, is with me: the Father hath not left mee alone: for I doe alwayes those things that please him. |
|
| 8:30 |
As hee spake those words, many beleeued on him. |
|
| 8:31 |
Then said Iesus to those Iewes which beleeued on him, If ye continue in my word, then are yee my disciples indeed. |
|
| 8:32 |
And ye shall know the Trueth, and the Trueth shall make you free. |
|
| 8:33 |
They answered him, We be Abraham seed, and were neuer in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Yee shall be made free? |
|
| 8:34 |
Iesus answered them, Uerily, verily I say vnto you, Whosoeuer committeth sinne, is the seruant of sinne. |
|
| 8:35 |
And the seruant abideth not in the house for euer: but the Sonne abideth euer. |
|
| 8:36 |
If the Sonne therfore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. |
|
| 8:37 |
I know that yee are Abrahams seed, but ye seeke to kill mee, because my word hath no place in you. |
|
| 8:38 |
I speake that which I haue seene with my Father: and ye do that which ye haue seene with your father. |
|
| 8:39 |
They answered, and said vnto him, Abraham is our father. Iesus sayth vnto them, If yee were Abrahams children, ye would doe the works of Abraham. |
|
| 8:40 |
But now yee seeke to kill me, a man that hath tolde you the trueth, which I haue heard of God: this did not Abraham. |
|
| 8:41 |
Ye doe the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not borne of fornication, wee haue one Father, euen God. |
|
| 8:42 |
Iesus said vnto them, If God were your Father, yee would loue me, for I proceeded foorth, and came from God: neither came I of my selfe, but he sent me. |
|
| 8:43 |
Why doe yee not vnderstand my speech? euen because yee cannot heare my word. |
|
| 8:44 |
Ye are of your father the deuill, and the lusts of your father ye will doe: hee was a murtherer from the beginning, and abode not in the trueth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his owne: for he is a liar, and the father of it. |
|
| 8:45 |
And because I tell you the truth, ye beleeue me not. |
|
| 8:46 |
Which of you conuinceth mee of sinne? And if I say the trueth, why doe ye not beleeue me? |
|
| 8:47 |
He that is of God, heareth Gods words: ye therefore heare them not, because ye are not of God. |
|
| 8:48 |
Then answered the Iewes, and said vnto him, Say wee not well that thou art a Samaritane, & hast a deuill? |
|
| 8:49 |
Iesus answered, I haue not a deuill: but I honour my Father, and ye doe dishonour me. |
|
| 8:50 |
And I seeke not mine owne glory, there is one that seeketh & iudgeth. |
|
| 8:51 |
Uerely, verely I say vnto you, If a man keepe my saying, hee shall neuer see death. |
|
| 8:52 |
Then said the Iewes vnto him, Now we know that thou hast a deuill. Abraham is dead, and the Prophets: and thou sayest, If a man keepe my saying, he shall neuer taste of death. |
|
| 8:53 |
Art thou greater then our father Abraham, which is dead? and the Prophets are dead: whom makest thou thy selfe? |
|
| 8:54 |
Iesus answered, If I honour myselfe, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me, of whom ye say, that he is your God: |
|
| 8:55 |
Yet ye haue not knowen him, but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shalbe a lyar like vnto you: but I know him, and keepe his saying. |
|
| 8:56 |
Your father Abraham reioyced to see my day: and he saw it, & was glad. |
|
| 8:57 |
Then said the Iewes vnto him, Thou art not yet fiftie yeeres olde, and hast thou seene Abraham? |
|
| 8:58 |
Iesus said vnto them, Uerely, verely I say vnto you, Before Abraham was, I am. |
|
| 8:59 |
Then tooke they vp stones to cast at him: but Iesus hidde himselfe, and went out of the Temple, going thorow the midst of them, and so passed by. |
