37“我知道你们是亚伯拉罕的子孙，但你们却想杀我，因为你们心里容不下我的道。38我所说的，是我从父那里看到的，你们却照着你们父*的话去做。”39他们说：“我们的父就是亚伯拉罕！” 耶稣说：“你们如果真是亚伯拉罕的子孙，一定会做他所做的事。40我把从上帝那里听到的真理告诉你们，你们反要杀我，亚伯拉罕绝不做这样的事。41你们是在做你们父所做的事。” 他们说：“我们不是从淫乱生的！我们只有一位父，就是上帝。”42耶稣说：“如果上帝是你们的父，你们一定会爱我，因为我来自上帝。如今我在这里，我不是凭自己来的，而是上帝差我来的，43你们为什么不明白我的话呢？因为你们听不进去我的道。44你们是出于你们的父魔鬼，你们乐意顺着它的私欲行。魔鬼从起初就是个杀人凶手，从不站在真理这一边，因为它心里根本没有真理。撒谎是它的本性，因为它是撒谎者，又是撒谎者的始祖。45所以，我讲真理的时候，你们不信我。46你们谁能指证我有罪呢？我既然把真理告诉了你们，你们为什么还不信我呢？47出于上帝的人听上帝的话，你们不听上帝的话，因为你们不是出于上帝。”48犹太人对祂说：“我们说你是撒玛利亚人*，被鬼附身了，难道不对吗？”49耶稣说：“我没有被鬼附身。我尊敬我的父，你们却侮辱我。50我不为自己寻求荣耀，但有一位会为我寻求，祂也会断定谁是谁非。51我实实在在地告诉你们，人如果遵行我的道，必永远不死。”52那些犹太人说：“现在我们的确知道你是被鬼附身了！亚伯拉罕和众先知都死了，你还说人如果遵行你的道，必永远不死。53难道你比我们的祖先亚伯拉罕还大吗？他死了，先知们也死了，你以为你是谁？”54耶稣说：“如果我为自己争取荣耀，那荣耀算不了什么。但使我得荣耀的是我的父，你们也称祂为你们的上帝。55你们不认识祂，我却认识祂。如果我说我不认识祂，那我就像你们一样是说谎的。然而，我认识祂，并且遵行祂的道。56你们的祖先亚伯拉罕曾经欢欢喜喜地盼望看见我来的日子。他看见了，就欢喜快乐。”57犹太人说：“你还不到五十岁，怎么会见过亚伯拉罕呢？”58耶稣说：“我实实在在地告诉你们，亚伯拉罕还没有出生，我就已经存在了*。”59于是，他们就拿起石头要打祂，耶稣却避开他们，离开了圣殿。
English Standard Version
1but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.2Early in the morning he came again to the temple. All the people came to him, and he sat down and taught them.3The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery, and placing her in the midst4they said to him, “Teacher, this woman has been caught in the act of adultery.5Now in the Law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. So what do you say?”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.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.”8And once more he bent down and wrote on the ground.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.10Jesus stood up and said to her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”11She said, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more.”]]
I Am the Light of the World
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.”13So the Pharisees said to him, “You are bearing witness about yourself; your testimony is not true.”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.15You judge according to the flesh; I judge no one.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.17In your Law it is written that the testimony of two people is true.18I am the one who bears witness about myself, and the Father who sent me bears witness about me.”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.”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.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.”22So the Jews said, “Will he kill himself, since he says, ‘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.24I told you that you would die in your sins, for unless you believe that I am he you will die in your sins.”25So they said to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them, “Just what I have been telling you from the beginning.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.”27They did not understand that he had been speaking to them about the Father.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.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.”30As he was saying these things, many believed in him.
The Truth Will Set You Free
31So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples,32and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”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’?”34Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who practices sin is a slave* to sin.35The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son remains forever.36So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.37I know that you are offspring of Abraham; yet you seek to kill me because my word finds no place in you.38I speak of what I have seen with my Father, and you do what you have heard from your father.”
You Are of Your Father the Devil
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,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.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.”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.43Why do you not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to hear my word.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.45But because I tell the truth, you do not believe me.46Which one of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?47Whoever is of God hears the words of God. The reason why you do not hear them is that you are not of God.”
Before Abraham Was, I Am
48The Jews answered him, “Are we not right in saying that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?”49Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.50Yet I do not seek my own glory; there is One who seeks it, and he is the judge.51Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death.”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.’53Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? And 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, ‘He is our God.’*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.56Your father Abraham rejoiced that he would see my day. He saw it and was glad.”57So the Jews said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?”*58Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.”59So they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple.
