Juan 8
Diodati 1885
1E GESÙ se ne andò al monte degli Ulivi.
2E in sul far del giorno, venne di nuovo nel tempio, e tutto il popolo venne a lui; ed egli, postosi a sedere, li ammaestrava.
3Allora i Farisei, e gli Scribi, gli menarono una donna, ch'era stata colta in adulterio; e fattala star in piè ivi in mezzo,
4dissero a Gesù: Maestro, questa donna è stata trovata in sul fatto, commettendo adulterio.
5Or Mosè ci ha comandato nella legge, che cotali si lapidino; tu adunque, che ne dici?
6Or dicevano questo, tentandolo, per poterlo accusare. Ma Gesù chinatosi in giù, scriveva col dito in terra.
7E come essi continuavano a domandarlo, egli, rizzatosi, disse loro: Colui di voi ch'è senza peccato getti il primo la pietra contro a lei.
8E chinatosi di nuovo in giù, scriveva in terra.
9Ed essi, udito ciò, e convinti dalla coscienza, ad uno ad uno se ne uscirono fuori, cominciando da' più vecchi infino agli ultimi; e Gesù fu lasciato solo con la donna, che era ivi in mezzo.
10E Gesù, rizzatosi, e non veggendo alcuno, se non la donna, le disse: Donna, ove sono que' tuoi accusatori? niuno t'ha egli condannata?
11Ed ella disse: Niuno, Signore. E Gesù le disse: Io ancora non ti condanno; vattene, e da ora innanzi non peccar più.
12E GESÙ di nuovo parlò loro, dicendo: Io son la luce del mondo; chi mi seguita non camminerà nelle tenebre, anzi avrà la luce della vita.
13Laonde i Farisei gli dissero: Tu testimonii di te stesso; la tua testimonianza non è verace.
14Gesù rispose, e disse loro: Quantunque io testimonii di me stesso, pure è la mia testimonianza verace; perciocchè io so onde io son venuto, ed ove io vo; ma voi non sapete nè onde io vengo, nè ove io vo.
15Voi giudicate secondo la carne; io non giudico alcuno.
16E benchè io giudicassi, il mio giudicio sarebbe verace, perciocchè io non son solo; anzi son io, e il Padre che mi ha mandato.
17Or anche nella vostra legge è scritto, che la testimonianza di due uomini è verace.
18Io son quel che testimonio di me stesso; e il Padre ancora, che mi ha mandato, testimonia di me.
19Laonde essi gli dissero: Ove è il Padre tuo? Gesù rispose: Voi non conoscete nè me, nè il Padre mio; se voi conosceste me, conoscereste ancora il Padre mio.
20Questi ragionamenti tenne Gesù in quella parte, dov'era la cassa delle offerte, insegnando nel tempio; e niuno lo pigliò, perciocchè la sua ora non era ancora venuta.
21Gesù adunque disse loro di nuovo: Io me ne vo, e voi mi cercherete, e morrete nel vostro peccato; là ove io vo, voi non potete venire.
22Laonde i Giudei dicevano: Ucciderà egli sè stesso, ch'egli dice: Dove io vo, voi non potete venire?
23Ed egli disse loro: Voi siete da basso, io son da alto; voi siete di questo mondo, io non son di questo mondo.
24Perciò vi ho detto che voi morrete ne' vostri peccati, perciocchè, se voi non credete ch'io son desso, voi morrete ne' vostri peccati.
25Laonde essi gli dissero: Tu chi sei? E Gesù disse loro: Io sono quel che vi dico dal principio.
26Io ho molte cose a parlare, ed a giudicar di voi; ma colui che mi ha mandato è verace, e le cose che io ho udite da lui, quelle dico al mondo.
27Essi non conobbero che parlava loro del Padre.
28Gesù adunque disse loro: Quando voi avrete innalzato il Figliuol dell'uomo, allora conoscerete che io son desso, e che non fo nulla da me stesso; ma che parlo queste cose, secondo che il Padre mi ha insegnato.
29E colui che mi ha mandato è meco: il Padre non mi ha lasciato solo; poichè io del continuo fo le cose che gli piacciono.
30Mentre egli ragionava queste cose, molti credettero in lui.
31E Gesù disse a' Giudei che gli aveano creduto: Se voi perseverate nella mia parola, voi sarete veramente miei discepoli;
32e conoscerete la verità, e la verità vi francherà.
33Essi gli risposero: Noi siam progenie d'Abrahamo, e non abbiam mai servito ad alcuno; come dici tu: Voi diverrete franchi?
34Gesù rispose loro: In verità, in verità, io vi dico, che chi fa il peccato è servo del peccato.
35Or il servo non dimora in perpetuo nella casa; il figliuolo vi dimora in perpetuo.
36Se dunque il Figliuolo vi franca, voi sarete veramente franchi.
37Io so che voi siete progenie d'Abrahamo; ma voi cercate d'uccidermi, perciocchè la mia parola non penetra in voi.
38Io parlo ciò che ho veduto presso il Padre mio; e voi altresì fate le cose che avete vedute presso il padre vostro.
39Essi risposero, e gli dissero: Il padre nostro è Abrahamo. Gesù disse loro: Se voi foste figliuoli d'Abrahamo, fareste le opere d'Abrahamo.
40Ma ora voi cercate d'uccider me, uomo, che vi ho proposta la verità ch'io ho udita da Dio; ciò non fece già Abrahamo. Voi fate le opere del padre vostro.
41Laonde essi gli dissero: Noi non siam nati di fornicazione; noi abbiamo un solo Padre, che è Iddio.
42E Gesù disse loro: Se Iddio fosse vostro Padre, voi mi amereste; poichè io sono proceduto, e vengo da Dio; perciocchè io non son venuto da me stesso, anzi esso mi ha mandato.
43Perchè non intendete voi il mio parlare? perchè voi non potete ascoltar la mia parola.
44Voi siete dal diavolo, che è vostro padre; e volete fare i desideri del padre vostro; egli fu micidiale dal principio, e non è stato fermo nella verità; poichè verità non è in lui; quando proferisce la menzogna, parla del suo proprio; perciocchè egli è mendace, e il padre della menzogna.
45Ma, quant'è a me, perciocchè io dico la verità, voi non mi credete.
46Chi di voi mi convince di peccato? e se io dico verità, perchè non mi credete voi?
47Chi è da Dio ascolta le parole di Dio; perciò, voi non l'ascoltate, perciocchè non siete da Dio.
48Laonde i Giudei risposero, e gli dissero: Non diciamo noi bene che tu sei Samaritano, e che hai il demonio?
49Gesù rispose: Io non ho demonio, ma onoro il Padre mio, e voi mi disonorate.
50Or io non cerco la mia gloria; v'è chi la cerca, e ne giudica.
51In verità, in verità, io vi dico che se alcuno guarda la mia parola, non vedrà giammai in eterno la morte.
52Laonde i Giudei gli dissero: Ora conosciamo che tu hai il demonio. Abrahamo, ed i profeti son morti; e tu dici: Se alcuno guarda la mia parola, egli non gusterà giammai in eterno la morte.
53Sei tu maggiore del padre nostro Abrahamo, il quale è morto? i profeti ancora son morti; che fai te stesso?
54Gesù rispose: Se io glorifico me stesso, la mia gloria non è nulla; v'è il Padre mio che mi glorifica, che voi dite essere vostro Dio.
55E pur voi non l'avete conosciuto; ma io lo conosco; e, se io dicessi che io non lo conosco, sarei mendace, simile a voi; ma io lo conosco, e guardo la sua parola.
56Abrahamo, vostro padre, giubilando, desiderò di vedere il mio giorno, e lo vide, e se ne rallegrò.
57I Giudei adunque gli dissero: Tu non hai ancora cinquant'anni, ed hai veduto Abrahamo?
58Gesù disse loro: In verità, in verità, io vi dico, che avanti che Abrahamo fosse nato, io sono.
59Essi adunque levarono delle pietre, per gettarle contro a lui; ma Gesù si nascose, ed uscì del tempio, essendo passato per mezzo loro; e così se ne andò.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Y JESÚS se fué al monte de las Olivas.
2Y por la mañana volvió al templo, y todo el pueblo vino á él: y sentado él, los enseñaba.
3Entonces los escribas y los Fariseos le traen una mujer tomada en adulterio; y poniéndola en medio,
4Dícenle: Maestro, esta mujer ha sido tomada en el mismo hecho, adulterando;
5Y en la ley Moisés nos mandó apedrear á las tales: tú pues, ¿qué dices?
6Mas esto decían tentándole, para poder acusarle. Empero Jesús, inclinado hacia abajo, escribía en tierra con el dedo.
7Y como perseverasen preguntándole, enderezóse, y díjoles: El que de vosotros esté sin pecado, arroje contra ella la piedra el primero.
8Y volviéndose á inclinar hacia abajo, escribía en tierra.
9Oyendo, pues, ellos, redargüidos de la conciencia, salíanse uno á uno, comenzando desde los más viejos hasta los postreros: y quedó solo Jesús, y la mujer que estaba en medio.
10Y enderezándose Jesús, y no viendo á nadie más que á la mujer, díjole: ¿Mujer, dónde están los que te acusaban? ¿Ninguno te ha condenado?
11Y ella dijo: Señor, ninguno. Entonces Jesús le dijo: Ni yo te condeno: vete, y no peques más.
12Y hablóles Jesús otra vez, diciendo: Yo soy la luz del mundo: el que me sigue, no andará en tinieblas, mas tendrá la lumbre de la vida.
13Entonces los Fariseos le dijeron: Tú de ti mismo das testimonio: tu testimonio no es verdadero.
14Respondió Jesús, y díjoles: Aunque yo doy testimonio de mí mismo, mi testimonio es verdadero, porque sé de dónde he venido y á dónde voy; mas vosotros no sabéis de dónde vengo, y á dónde voy.
15Vosotros según la carne juzgáis; mas yo no juzgo á nadie.
16Y si yo juzgo, mi juicio es verdadero; porque no soy solo, sino yo y el que me envió, el Padre.
17Y en vuestra ley está escrito que el testimonio de dos hombres es verdadero.
18Yo soy el que doy testimonio de mí mismo: y da testimonio de mí el que me envió, el Padre.
19Y decíanle: ¿Dónde está tu Padre? Respondió Jesús: Ni á mí me conocéis, ni á mi Padre; si á mí me conocieseis, á mi Padre también conocierais.
20Estas palabras habló Jesús en el lugar de las limosnas, enseñando en el templo: y nadie le prendió; porque aun no había venido su hora.
21Y díjoles otra vez Jesús: Yo me voy, y me buscaréis, mas en vuestro pecado moriréis: á donde yo voy, vosotros no podéis venir.
22Decían entonces los Judíos: ¿Hase de matar á sí mismo, que dice: A donde yo voy, vosotros no podéis venir?
23Y decíales: Vosotros sois de abajo, yo soy de arriba; vosotros sois de este mundo, yo no soy de este mundo.
24Por eso os dije que moriréis en vuestros pecados; porque si no creyereis que yo soy, en vuestros pecados moriréis.
25Y decíanle: ¿Tú quién eres? Entonces Jesús les dijo: El que al principio también os he dicho.
26Muchas cosas tengo que decir y juzgar de vosotros: mas el que me envió, es verdadero: y yo, lo que he oído de él, esto hablo en el mundo.
27Mas no entendieron que él les hablaba del Padre.
28Díjoles pues, Jesús: Cuando levantareis al Hijo del hombre, entonces entenderéis que yo soy, y que nada hago de mí mismo; mas como el Padre me enseñó, esto hablo.
29Porque el que me envió, conmigo está; no me ha dejado solo el Padre; porque yo, lo que á él agrada, hago siempre.
30Hablando él estas cosas, muchos creyeron en él.
31Y decía Jesús á los Judíos que le habían creído: Si vosotros permaneciereis en mi palabra, seréis verdaderamente mis discípulos;
32Y conoceréis la verdad, y la verdad os libertará.
33Y respondiéronle: Simiente de Abraham somos, y jamás servimos á nadie: ¿cómo dices tú: Seréis libres?
34Jesús les respondió: De cierto, de cierto os digo, que todo aquel que hace pecado, es siervo de pecado.
35Y el siervo no queda en casa para siempre: el hijo queda para siempre.
36Así que, si el Hijo os libertare, seréis verdaderamente libres.
37Sé que sois simiente de Abraham, mas procuráis matarme, porque mi palabra no cabe en vosotros.
38Yo hablo lo que he visto cerca del Padre; y vosotros hacéis lo que habéis oído cerca de vuestro padre.
39Respondieron y dijéronle: Nuestro padre es Abraham. Díceles Jesús: Si fuerais hijos de Abraham, las obras de Abraham haríais.
40Empero ahora procuráis matarme, hombre que os he hablado la verdad, la cual he oído de Dios: no hizo esto Abraham.
41Vosotros hacéis las obras de vuestro padre. Dijéronle entonces: Nosotros no somos nacidos de fornicación; un padre tenemos, que es Dios.
42Jesús entonces les dijo: Si vuestro padre fuera Dios, ciertamente me amaríais: porque yo de Dios he salido, y he venido; que no he venido de mí mismo, mas él me envió.
43¿Por qué no reconocéis mi lenguaje? porque no podéis oir mi palabra.
44Vosotros de vuestro padre el diablo sois, y los deseos de vuestro padre queréis cumplir. El, homicida ha sido desde el principio, y no permaneció en la verdad, porque no hay verdad en él. Cuando habla mentira, de suyo habla; porque es mentiroso, y padre de mentira.
45Y porque yo digo verdad, no me creéis.
46¿Quién de vosotros me redarguye de pecado? Pues si digo verdad, ¿por qué vosotros no me creéis?
47El que es de Dios, las palabras de Dios oye: por esto no las oís vosotros, porque no sois de Dios.
48Respondieron entonces los Judíos, y dijéronle: ¿No decimos bien nosotros, que tú eres Samaritano, y tienes demonio?
49Respondió Jesús: Yo no tengo demonio, antes honro á mi Padre; y vosotros me habéis deshonrado.
50Y no busco mi gloria: hay quien la busque, y juzgue.
51De cierto, de cierto os digo, que el que guardare mi palabra, no verá muerte para siempre.
52Entonces los Judíos le dijeron: Ahora conocemos que tienes demonio. Abraham murió, y los profetas, y tú dices: El que guardare mi palabra, no gustará muerte para siempre.
53¿Eres tú mayor que nuestro padre Abraham, el cual murió? y los profetas murieron: ¿quién te haces á ti mismo?
54Respondió Jesús: Si yo me glorifico á mí mismo, mi gloria es nada: mi Padre es el que me glorifica; el que vosotros decís que es vuestro Dios;
55Y no le conocéis: mas yo le conozco; y si dijere que no le conozco, seré como vosotros mentiroso: mas le conozco, y guardo su palabra.
56Abraham vuestro padre se gozó por ver mi día; y lo vió, y se gozó.
57Dijéronle entonces los Judíos: Aun no tienes cincuenta años, ¿y has visto á Abraham?
58Díjoles Jesús: De cierto, de cierto os digo: Antes que Abraham fuese, yo soy.
59Tomaron entonces piedras para tirarle: mas Jesús se encubrió, y salió del templo; y atravesando por medio de ellos, se fué.
King James Version
1Jesus 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 thou?
6This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
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 it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
10When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
11She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
12Then spake Jesus 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, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true.
14Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither 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 thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.
20These words spake Jesus 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 Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.
22Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither 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 he, ye shall die in your sins.
25Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same 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 Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.
29And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.
30As he spake these words, many believed on him.
31Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then 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 thou, Ye shall be made free?
34Jesus 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: but 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 hath 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. Jesus saith 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 hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: 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, even God.
42Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
43Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.
44Ye are of your 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 you 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 God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
48Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?
49Jesus 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 thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.
53Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?
54Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:
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 it, and was glad.
57Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
58Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
59Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
World English Bible
1but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
2Now very early in the morning, he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him. He sat down and taught them.
3The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery. Having set her in the middle,
4they told him, “Teacher, we found this woman in adultery, in the very act.
5Now in our law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. What then do you say about her?”
6They said this testing him, that they might have something to accuse him of. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger.
7But when they continued asking him, he looked up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw the first stone at her.”
8Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger.
9They, when they heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning from the oldest, even to the last. Jesus was left alone with the woman where she was, in the middle.
10Jesus, standing up, saw her and said, “Woman, where are your accusers? Did no one condemn you?”
11She said, “No one, Lord.” Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go your way. From now on, sin no more.”
12Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.”
13The Pharisees therefore said to him, “You testify about yourself. Your testimony is not valid.”
14Jesus answered them, “Even if I testify about myself, my testimony is true, for I know where I came from, and where I am going; but you don’t know where I came from, or where I am going.
15You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.
16Even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.
17It’s also written in your law that the testimony of two people is valid.
18I am one who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me.”
19They said therefore to him, “Where is your Father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither me nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father also.”
20Jesus spoke these words in the treasury, as he taught in the temple. Yet no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.
21Jesus said therefore again to them, “I am going away, and you will seek me, and you will die in your sins. Where I go, you can’t come.”
22The Jews therefore said, “Will he kill himself, because he says, ‘Where I am going, you can’t come’?”
23He said to them, “You are from beneath. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world.
24I said therefore 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 therefore to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them, “Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.
26I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you. However, he who sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these I say to the world.”
27They didn’t understand that he spoke to them about the Father.
28Jesus therefore said to them, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and I do nothing of myself, but as my Father taught me, I say these things.
29He who sent me is with me. The Father hasn’t left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him.”
30As he spoke these things, many believed in him.
31Jesus therefore said to those Jews who had believed him, “If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.
32You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”
33They answered him, “We are Abraham’s offspring, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How do you say, ‘You will be made free’?”
34Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the bondservant of sin.
35A bondservant doesn’t live in the house forever. A son remains forever.
36If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.
37I know that you are Abraham’s offspring, yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you.
38I say the things which I have seen with my Father; and you also do the things which you have seen with your father.”
39They answered him, “Our father is Abraham.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham.
40But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham didn’t do this.
41You do the works of your father.” They said to him, “We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, God.”
42Therefore Jesus said to them, “If God were your father, you would love me, for I came out and have come from God. For I haven’t come of myself, but he sent me.
43Why don’t you understand my speech? Because you can’t hear my word.
44You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn’t stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and the father of lies.
45But because I tell the truth, you don’t believe me.
46Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?
47He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you don’t hear, because you are not of God.”
48Then the Jews answered him, “Don’t we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?”
49Jesus answered, “I don’t have a demon, but I honor my Father and you dishonor me.
50But I don’t seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and judges.
51Most certainly, I tell you, if a person keeps my word, he will never see death.”
52Then the Jews said to him, “Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, as did the prophets; and you say, ‘If a man keeps my word, he will never taste of death.’
53Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? The prophets died. 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, of whom you say that he is our God.
55You have not known him, but I know him. If I said, ‘I don’t know him,’ I would be like you, a liar. But I know him and keep his word.
56Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day. He saw it and was glad.”
57The Jews therefore said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old! Have you seen Abraham?”
58Jesus said to them, “Most certainly, I tell you, before Abraham came into existence, I AM.”
59Therefore they took up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple, having gone through the middle of them, and so passed by.
