John 8 — Chapter 8

John · Restored Names Edition

1Yahusha (Jesus) 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 say you?

6This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Yahusha (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 Yahusha (Jesus) was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

10When Yahusha (Jesus) had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those your accusers? has no man condemned you?

11She said, No man, Lord. And Yahusha (Jesus) said unto her, Neither do I condemn you: go, and sin no more.

12Then spake Yahusha (Jesus) again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

13The Pharisees therefore said unto him, You bear record of thyself; your record is not true.

14Yahusha (Jesus) 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 you cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go.

15You 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 bears witness of me.

19Then said they unto him, Where is your Father? Yahusha (Jesus) answered, You neither know me, nor my Father: if you had known me, you should have known my Father also.

20These words spake Yahusha (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 Yahusha (Jesus) again unto them, I go my way, and you shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, you cannot come.

22Then said the Yahudim (Jews), Will he kill himself? because he says, Whither I go, you cannot come.

23And he said unto them, You are from beneath; I am from above: you are of this world; I am not of this world.

24I said therefore unto you, that you shall die in your sins: for if you believe not that I am he, you shall die in your sins.

25Then said they unto him, Who are you? And Yahusha (Jesus) says 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 Yahusha (Jesus) unto them, When you have lifted up the Son of Adam, then shall you know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father has taught me, I speak these things.

29And he that sent me is with me: the Father has not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.

30As he spake these words, many believed on him.

31Then said Yahusha (Jesus) to those Yahudim (Jews) which believed on him, If you continue in my word, then are you my disciples indeed;

32And you 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 say you, You shall be made free?

34Yahusha (Jesus) answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever commits sin is the servant of sin.

35And the servant abides not in the house for ever: but the Son abides ever.

36If the Son therefore shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.

37I know that you are Abraham’s seed; but you seek to kill me, because my word has no place in you.

38I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and you do that which you have seen with your father.

39They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Yahusha (Jesus) says unto them, If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham.

40But now you seek to kill me, a man that has told you the truth, which I have heard of Elohim (God): this did not Abraham.

41You do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even Elohim (God).

42Yahusha (Jesus) said unto them, If Elohim (God) were your Father, you would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from Elohim (God); neither came I of myself, but he sent me.

43Why do you not understand my speech? even because you cannot hear my word.

44You are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

45And because I tell you the truth, you believe me not.

46Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do you not believe me?

47He that is of Elohim (God) hears Elohim's (God’s) words: you therefore hear them not, because you are not of Elohim (God).

48Then answered the Yahudim (Jews), and said unto him, Say we not well that you are a Samaritan, and have a devil?

49Yahusha (Jesus) answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and you do dishonour me.

50And I seek not my own glory: there is one that seeks and judges.

51Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.

52Then said the Yahudim (Jews) unto him, Now we know that you have a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and you say, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.

53Are you greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom make you thyself?

54Yahusha (Jesus) answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom you say, that he is your Elohim (God):

55Yet you 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 Yahudim (Jews) unto him, You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?

58Yahusha (Jesus) said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.

59Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Yahusha (Jesus) hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
