John 8
8
1But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. # Mt 21:1 2Early in the morning He returned to the temple. All the people came to Him, and He sat down and taught them. # Mt 26:55; Lk 4:20 3The scribes and Pharisees brought a woman caught in adultery. When they had put her in the middle, 4they said to Him, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the very act of adultery. 5Now Moses in the law commanded us to stone such, # Lev 20:10 but what do You say?” 6They said this, testing Him, that they might have something of which to accuse Him. # Mt 19:3; Lk 10:25
But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with His finger, # Dt 9:10 as though He did not hear them. 7So when they continued asking 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.” 8Again He stooped down and wrote on the ground.
9Being convicted by their conscience, those who heard it went out one by one, beginning with the eldest even to the last. Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. 10When Jesus had stood up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, “Woman, where are your accusers? Did no one condemn you?”
11She said, “No one, Lord.”
Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you. # Jn 3:17 Go and sin no more.” # Jn 5:14
Jesus the Light of the World
12Again, Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life.” # Job 33:28; Isa 49:6; Jn 12:35
13The Pharisees therefore said to Him, “You bear witness of Yourself. Your testimony is not true.”
14Jesus answered, “Though I bear witness of Myself, My testimony is true. For I know where I came from and where I am going. But you do not know where I came from or where I am going. # Jn 13:3; 16:28 15You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one. # 1Sa 16:7; Jn 7:24 16Yet if I do judge, My judgment is true. For I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent Me. # Jn 8:29; 16:32 17Even in your law it is written that the testimony of two men is true. # Dt 17:6; Mt 18:16 18I am One who bears witness of Myself, and the Father that sent Me bears witness of Me.” # Jn 8:58; 10:30
19Then they said to Him, “Where is Your Father?”
Jesus answered, “You know neither Me nor My Father. # Jn 16:3 If you knew Me, you would know My Father also.” # Jn 7:28 20Jesus spoke these words in the treasury, # Mk 12:41 as He taught in the temple. No one arrested Him, for His hour had not yet come. # Jn 7:30
The Origins of Jesus
21Again, Jesus said to them, “I am going away, and you will seek Me, and you will die in your sins. # Jn 8:24 Where I am going, you cannot come.” # Jn 7:34; 13:33
22So the Jews said, “Will He kill Himself? For He said, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come.’ ”
23He said to them, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world. # Jn 3:31; 17:14 24Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins. For unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.”
25They said to Him, “Who are You?” # Jn 1:19
Jesus said to them, “Just who I have been telling you from the beginning. 26I have many things to say and to judge concerning you, but He who sent Me is true. So I tell the world what I heard from Him.” # Jn 7:28; 15:15
27They did not understand that He spoke to them of the Father. 28So Jesus said to them, “When you lift up the Son of Man, # Jn 3:14 then you will know that I am He, and I do nothing of Myself. But I speak these things as My Father taught Me. # Jn 5:19 29He who sent Me is with Me. The Father has not left Me alone, # Jn 8:16 for I always do those things that please Him.” # Jn 4:34 30As He spoke these words, many believed in Him. # Jn 7:31
The Power of Truth
31Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you remain in My word, then you are truly My disciples. # 2Jn 9 32You shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.” # Ro 8:2; Jas 2:12
33They answered Him, “We are Abraham’s seed # Mt 3:9; Jn 8:39 and have never been in bondage to anyone. Why do You say, ‘You shall be set free’?”
34Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. # Ro 6:16; 2Pe 2:19 35Now a slave does not remain in the house forever, but a son remains forever. # Ge 21:10 36Therefore if the Son sets you free, you shall be free indeed. 37I know that you are Abraham’s seed. But you seek to kill Me, # Jn 7:1 because My word has no place in you. 38I am telling what I have seen with My Father, and you are doing what you have seen with your father.” # Jn 5:19; 8:41
Jesus Sent by the Father
39They answered Him, “Abraham is our father.”
Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham. # Gal 3:7 40But now you seek to kill Me, a Man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. # Jn 8:26 Abraham did not do this. 41You are doing the works of your father.”
Then they said to Him, “We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father: God.” # Isa 63:16; 64:8; Jn 8:38
42Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I came from God and proceeded into the world. # Jn 3:17 I did not come of My own authority, but He sent Me. # Jn 17:8, 25 43Why do you not understand My speaking? Because you cannot bear to hear My word. # Jer 6:10; Jn 7:17 44You are of your father the devil, # Jn 8:38 and you want to do the desires of your father. 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 from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies. 45Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me. 46Which of you convicts Me of sin? # Heb 4:15 If I speak the truth, why do you not believe Me? 47He who is of God hears God’s words. Therefore, you do not hear them, because you are not of God.”
The Preexistence of Jesus
48The Jews answered Him, “Do we not rightly say that You are a Samaritan and have a demon?” # Jn 4:9; 7:20
49Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon. But I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me. 50I do not seek glory for Myself. # Jn 5:41; 8:54 There is One who seeks it and judges. 51Truly, truly I say to you, if anyone keeps My word, he shall never see death.” # Lk 2:26; Jn 5:24
52Then the Jews said to Him, “Now we know that You have a demon. Abraham and the prophets died, and You say, ‘If a man keeps My word, he shall never taste death.’ # Heb 2:9 53Are You greater than our father Abraham, # Jn 4:12 who died? The prophets are dead! Who do You make Yourself out to be?”
54Jesus answered, “If I glorify Myself, My glory is nothing. It is My Father who glorifies Me, # Jn 8:50; 17:1 of whom you say that He is your God. 55Yet you have not known Him, but I know Him. # Jn 7:28–29; 8:19 If I say, ‘I do not know Him,’ I shall be a liar like you. But I know Him and keep His word. 56Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day. He saw it and was glad.” # Mt 13:17; Heb 11:13
57Then the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old. Have You seen Abraham?”
58Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly I say to you, before Abraham was born, I AM.” # Ex 3:14; Jn 17:5, 24 59Then they took up stones to throw at Him. # Lev 24:16; Jn 11:8 But Jesus hid Himself and went out of the temple. Going through their midst, He passed by.
