Notes on this text (3)
- Church Slavonic in its traditional (Synodal) spelling, with accents, breathings and titlo abbreviations, shown in the Ponomar font (SIL Open Font License).
- Exodus 36–39 follow the Septuagint's order; the digital source has no verse divisions there, so Exodus 36:8–end and chapters 37, 38 and 39 each appear as one block.
- Not shown: the lectionary pericope numbers (зача́ло) and the marginal glosses of the digital source. The Prayer of Manasseh stands at the end of 2 Chronicles (36:24), as in the Slavonic Bible; the prologue of Sirach and the opening verse of Lamentations are joined to verse 1.

1 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
1 Ἰησοῦς δὲ ἐπορεύθη εἰς τὸ ὄρος τῶν ἐλαιῶν·
2 Now very early in the morning, he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him. He sat down and taught them.
2 ὄρθρου δὲ πάλιν παρεγένετο εἰς τὸ ἱερόν, καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἤρχετο πρὸς αὐτόν· καὶ καθίσας ἐδίδασκεν αὐτούς.
3◆ Приведо́ша же кни́жницы и҆ фарїсе́є къ немꙋ̀ женꙋ̀ въ прелюбодѣѧ́нїи ꙗ҆́тꙋ, и҆ поста́вивше ю҆̀ посредѣ̀,
3 The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery. Having set her in the middle,
3 ἄγουσι δὲ οἱ γραμματεῖς καὶ οἱ Φαρισαῖοι γυναῖκα ἐπὶ μοιχείᾳ κατειλημμένην, καὶ στήσαντες αὐτὴν ἐν μέσῳ
4 they told him, “Teacher, we found this woman in adultery, in the very act.
4 λέγουσιν αὐτῷ· διδάσκαλε, αὕτη ἡ γυνὴ κατείληπται ἐπ᾽ αὐτοφώρῳ μοιχευομένη·
5 Now in our law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. What then do you say about her?”
5 καὶ ἐν τῷ νόμῳ ἡμῶν Μωϋσῆς ἐνετείλατο τὰς τοιαύτας λιθάζειν.
6◆ Сїе́ же рѣ́ша и҆скꙋша́юще є҆го̀, да бы́ша и҆мѣ́ли что̀ глаго́лати на́нь. І҆и҃съ же до́лꙋ прекло́ньсѧ, пе́рстомъ писа́ше на землѝ, не слага́ѧ (и҆̀мъ).
6 They 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.
6 σὺ οὖν τί λέγεις; τοῦτο δὲ εἶπον ἐκπειράζοντες αὐτόν, ἵνα σχῶσι κατηγορίαν κατ᾽ αὐτοῦ. ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς κάτω κύψας τῷ δακτύλῳ ἔγραφεν εἰς τὴν γῆν.
7◆ Ꙗ҆́коже прилѣжа́хꙋ вопроша́юще є҆го̀, воскло́ньсѧ речѐ къ ни̑мъ: и҆́же є҆́сть без̾ грѣха̀ въ ва́съ, пре́жде ве́рзи ка́мень на ню̀.
7 But 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.”
7 ὡς δὲ ἐπέμενον ἐρωτῶντες αὐτόν, ἀνέκυψε καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· ὁ ἀναμάρτητος ὑμῶν πρῶτος βαλέτω λίθον ἐπ᾽ αὐτήν.
8 Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger.
8 καὶ πάλιν κάτω κύψας ἔγραφεν εἰς τὴν γῆν.
9◆ Ѻ҆ни́ же слы́шавше и҆ со́вѣстїю ѡ҆блича́еми, и҆схожда́хꙋ є҆ди́нъ по є҆ди́номꙋ, наче́нше ѿ ста́рєцъ до послѣ́днихъ: и҆ ѡ҆ста̀ є҆ди́нъ і҆и҃съ, и҆ жена̀ посредѣ̀ сꙋ́щи.
9 They, 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.
9 οἱ δὲ ἀκούσαντες ἐξήρχοντο εἷς καθ᾽ εἷς, ἀρξάμενοι ἀπὸ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων, καὶ κατελείφθη ὁ Ἰησοῦς καὶ ἡ γυνὴ ἐν μέσῳ οὖσα.
10◆ Воскло́ньсѧ же і҆и҃съ и҆ ни є҆ди́наго ви́дѣвъ, то́чїю женꙋ̀, речѐ є҆́й: же́но, гдѣ̀ сꙋ́ть, и҆̀же важда́хꙋ на тѧ̀; никі́йже ли тебѐ ѡ҆сꙋдѝ;
10 Jesus, standing up, saw her and said, “Woman, where are your accusers? Did no one condemn you?”
10 ἀνακύψας δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῇ· γύναι, ποῦ εἰσιν; οὐδείς σε κατέκρινεν;
11◆ Ѻ҆на́ же речѐ: никто́же, гдⷭ҇и. Рече́ же є҆́й і҆и҃съ: ни а҆́зъ тебѐ ѡ҆сꙋжда́ю: и҆дѝ и҆ (ѿсе́лѣ) ктомꙋ̀ не согрѣша́й.
11 She said, “No one, Lord.” Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go your way. From now on, sin no more.”
11 ἡ δὲ εἶπεν· οὐδείς, Κύριε. εἶπε δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· οὐδὲ ἐγώ σε κατακρίνω· πορεύου καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ νῦν μηκέτι ἁμάρτανε».
12 Па́ки же и҆̀мъ і҆и҃съ речѐ гл҃ѧ: а҆́зъ є҆́смь свѣ́тъ мі́рꙋ: ходѧ́й по мнѣ̀ не и҆́мать ходи́ти во тьмѣ̀, но и҆́мать свѣ́тъ живо́тный.
12 Again, 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.”
12 Πάλιν οὖν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐλάλησε λέγων· ἐγώ εἰμι τὸ φῶς τοῦ κόσμου· ὁ ἀκολουθῶν ἐμοὶ οὐ μὴ περιπατήσῃ ἐν τῇ σκοτίᾳ, ἀλλ᾽ ἕξει τὸ φῶς τῆς ζωῆς.
13 Рѣ́ша ᲂу҆̀бо є҆мꙋ̀ фарїсе́є: ты̀ ѡ҆ себѣ̀ са́мъ свидѣ́тельствꙋеши: свидѣ́тельство твоѐ нѣ́сть и҆́стинно.
13 The Pharisees therefore said to him, “You testify about yourself. Your testimony is not valid.”
13 εἶπον οὖν αὐτῷ οἱ Φαρισαῖοι· σὺ περὶ σεαυτοῦ μαρτυρεῖς· ἡ μαρτυρία σου οὐκ ἔστιν ἀληθής.
14 Ѿвѣща̀ і҆и҃съ и҆ речѐ и҆̀мъ: а҆́ще а҆́зъ свидѣ́тельствꙋю ѡ҆ себѣ̀, и҆́стинно є҆́сть свидѣ́тельство моѐ, ꙗ҆́кѡ вѣ́мъ, ѿкꙋ́дꙋ прїидо́хъ и҆ ка́мѡ и҆дꙋ̀: вы́ же не вѣ́сте, ѿкꙋ́дꙋ прихождꙋ̀ и҆ ка́мѡ грѧдꙋ̀:
14 Jesus 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.
14 ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· κἂν ἐγὼ μαρτυρῶ περὶ ἐμαυτοῦ, ἀληθής ἐστιν ἡ μαρτυρία μου, ὅτι οἶδα πόθεν ἦλθον καὶ ποῦ ὑπάγω· ὑμεῖς [δὲ] οὐκ οἴδατε πόθεν ἔρχομαι ἢ ποῦ ὑπάγω.
15 вы̀ по пло́ти сꙋ́дите, а҆́зъ не сꙋждꙋ̀ никомꙋ́же:
15 You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.
15 ὑμεῖς κατὰ τὴν σάρκα κρίνετε· ἐγὼ οὐ κρίνω οὐδένα.
16 и҆ а҆́ще сꙋждꙋ̀ а҆́зъ, сꙋ́дъ мо́й и҆́стиненъ є҆́сть, ꙗ҆́кѡ є҆ди́нъ нѣ́смь, но а҆́зъ и҆ посла́вый мѧ̀ ѻ҆ц҃ъ:
16 Even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.
16 καὶ ἐὰν κρίνω δὲ ἐγώ, ἡ κρίσις ἡ ἐμὴ ἀληθής ἐστιν, ὅτι μόνος οὐκ εἰμί, ἀλλ᾽ ἐγὼ καὶ ὁ πέμψας με πατήρ.
17 и҆ въ зако́нѣ же ва́шемъ пи́сано є҆́сть, ꙗ҆́кѡ двою̀ человѣ́кꙋ свидѣ́тельство и҆́стинно є҆́сть:
17 It’s also written in your law that the testimony of two people is valid.
17 καὶ ἐν τῷ νόμῳ δὲ τῷ ὑμετέρῳ γέγραπται ὅτι δύο ἀνθρώπων ἡ μαρτυρία ἀληθής ἐστιν.
18 а҆́зъ є҆́смь свидѣ́тельствꙋѧй ѡ҆ мнѣ̀ самѣ́мъ, и҆ свидѣ́тельствꙋетъ ѡ҆ мнѣ̀ посла́вый мѧ̀ ѻ҆ц҃ъ.
18 I am one who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me.”
18 ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ μαρτυρῶν περὶ ἐμαυτοῦ, καὶ μαρτυρεῖ περὶ ἐμοῦ ὁ πέμψας με πατήρ.
19 Глаго́лахꙋ же є҆мꙋ̀: гдѣ̀ є҆́сть ѻ҆ц҃ъ тво́й; Ѿвѣща̀ і҆и҃съ: ни менє̀ вѣ́сте, ни ѻ҆ц҃а̀ моегѡ̀: а҆́ще мѧ̀ бы́сте вѣ́дали, и҆ ѻ҆ц҃а̀ моего̀ вѣ́дали бы́сте.
19 They 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.”
19 ἔλεγον οὖν αὐτῷ· ποῦ ἐστιν ὁ πατήρ σου; ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς· οὔτε ἐμὲ οἴδατε οὔτε τὸν πατέρα μου· εἰ ἐμὲ ᾔδειτε, καὶ τὸν πατέρα μου ᾔδειτε ἄν.
20 Сїѧ̑ гл҃го́лы гл҃а і҆и҃съ въ газофѷлакі́и, ᲂу҆чѧ̀ въ це́ркви: и҆ никто́же ꙗ҆́тъ є҆го̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ не ᲂу҆̀ бѣ̀ прише́лъ ча́съ є҆гѡ̀.
20 Jesus spoke these words in the treasury, as he taught in the temple. Yet no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.
20 Ταῦτα τὰ ῥήματα ἐλάλησεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐν τῷ γαζοφυλακίῳ, διδάσκων ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ, καὶ οὐδεὶς ἐπίασεν αὐτόν, ὅτι οὔπω ἐληλύθει ἡ ὥρα αὐτοῦ.
21 Рече́ же и҆̀мъ па́ки і҆и҃съ: а҆́зъ и҆дꙋ̀, и҆ взы́щете менѐ, и҆ во грѣсѣ̀ ва́шемъ ᲂу҆́мрете: а҆́може а҆́зъ и҆дꙋ̀, вы̀ не мо́жете прїитѝ.
21 Jesus 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.”
21 Εἶπεν οὖν πάλιν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· ἐγὼ ὑπάγω καὶ ζητήσετέ με, καὶ ἐν τῇ ἁμαρτίᾳ ὑμῶν ἀποθανεῖσθε· ὅπου ἐγὼ ὑπάγω, ὑμεῖς οὐ δύνασθε ἐλθεῖν.
22 Глаго́лахꙋ ᲂу҆̀бо і҆ꙋде́є: є҆да̀ сѧ̀ са́мъ ᲂу҆бїе́тъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ гл҃етъ: а҆́може а҆́зъ и҆дꙋ̀, вы̀ не мо́жете прїитѝ;
22 The Jews therefore said, “Will he kill himself, because he says, ‘Where I am going, you can’t come’?”
22 ἔλεγον οὖν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι· μήτι ἀποκτενεῖ ἑαυτόν, ὅτι λέγει, ὅπου ἐγὼ ὑπάγω, ὑμεῖς οὐ δύνασθε ἐλθεῖν;
23 И҆ речѐ и҆̀мъ: вы̀ ѿ ни́жнихъ є҆стѐ, а҆́зъ ѿ вы́шнихъ є҆́смь: вы̀ ѿ мі́ра сегѡ̀ є҆стѐ, а҆́зъ нѣ́смь ѿ мі́ра сегѡ̀:
23 He said to them, “You are from beneath. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world.
23 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· ὑμεῖς ἐκ τῶν κάτω ἐστέ, ἐγὼ ἐκ τῶν ἄνω εἰμί· ὑμεῖς ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου τούτου ἐστέ, ἐγὼ οὐκ εἰμὶ ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου τούτου.
24 рѣ́хъ ᲂу҆̀бо ва́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ᲂу҆́мрете во грѣсѣ́хъ ва́шихъ: а҆́ще бо не и҆́мете вѣ́ры, ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́зъ є҆́смь, ᲂу҆́мрете во грѣсѣ́хъ ва́шихъ.
24 I 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.”
24 εἶπον οὖν ὑμῖν ὅτι ἀποθανεῖσθε ἐν ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις ὑμῶν· ἐὰν γὰρ μὴ πιστεύσητε ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι, ἀποθανεῖσθε ἐν ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις ὑμῶν.
25 Глаго́лахꙋ ᲂу҆̀бо є҆мꙋ̀: ты̀ кто̀ є҆сѝ; И҆ речѐ и҆̀мъ і҆и҃съ: нача́токъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ и҆ гл҃ю ва́мъ:
25 They said therefore to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them, “Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.
25 ἔλεγον οὖν αὐτῷ· σὺ τίς εἶ; καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· τὴν ἀρχὴν ὅ τι καὶ λαλῶ ὑμῖν.
26 мнѡ́га и҆́мамъ ѡ҆ ва́съ гл҃ати и҆ сꙋди́ти: но посла́вый мѧ̀ и҆́стиненъ є҆́сть, и҆ а҆́зъ, ꙗ҆̀же слы́шахъ ѿ негѡ̀, сїѧ̑ гл҃ю въ мі́рѣ.
26 I 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.”
26 πολλὰ ἔχω περὶ ὑμῶν λαλεῖν καὶ κρίνειν· ἀλλ᾽ ὁ πέμψας με ἀληθής ἐστι, κἀγὼ ἃ ἤκουσα παρ᾽ αὐτοῦ, ταῦτα λέγω εἰς τὸν κόσμον.
27 Не разꙋмѣ́ша (ᲂу҆̀бо), ꙗ҆́кѡ ѻ҆ц҃а̀ и҆̀мъ гл҃аше.
27 They didn’t understand that he spoke to them about the Father.
27 οὐκ ἔγνωσαν ὅτι τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῖς ἔλεγεν.
28 Рече́ же и҆̀мъ і҆и҃съ: є҆гда̀ вознесе́те сн҃а чл҃вѣ́ческаго, тогда̀ ᲂу҆разꙋмѣ́ете, ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́зъ є҆́смь, и҆ ѡ҆ себѣ̀ ничесѡ́же творю̀, но, ꙗ҆́коже наꙋчи́ мѧ ѻ҆ц҃ъ мо́й, сїѧ̑ гл҃ю:
28 Jesus 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.
28 εἶπεν οὖν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· ὅταν ὑψώσητε τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου, τότε γνώσεσθε ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι, καὶ ἀπ᾽ ἐμαυτοῦ ποιῶ οὐδέν, ἀλλὰ καθὼς ἐδίδαξέ με ὁ πατήρ μου, ταῦτα λαλῶ.
29 и҆ посла́вый мѧ̀ со мно́ю є҆́сть: не ѡ҆ста́ви менє̀ є҆ди́нагѡ ѻ҆ц҃ъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́зъ ᲂу҆гѡ́днаѧ є҆мꙋ̀ всегда̀ творю̀.
29 He who sent me is with me. The Father hasn’t left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him.”
29 καὶ ὁ πέμψας με μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ ἐστιν· οὐκ ἀφῆκέ με μόνον ὁ πατήρ, ὅτι ἐγὼ τὰ ἀρεστὰ αὐτῷ ποιῶ πάντοτε.
30 Сїѧ̑ є҆мꙋ̀ гл҃ющꙋ, мно́зи вѣ́роваша въ него̀.
30 As he spoke these things, many believed in him.
30 Ταῦτα αὐτοῦ λαλοῦντος πολλοὶ ἐπίστευσαν εἰς αὐτόν.
31 Гл҃аше ᲂу҆̀бо і҆и҃съ къ вѣ́ровавшымъ є҆мꙋ̀ і҆ꙋде́ѡмъ: а҆́ще вы̀ пребꙋ́дете во словесѝ мое́мъ, вои́стиннꙋ ᲂу҆чн҃цы̀ моѝ бꙋ́дете
31 Jesus therefore said to those Jews who had believed him, “If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.
31 Ἔλεγεν οὖν ὁ Ἰησοῦς πρὸς τοὺς πεπιστευκότας αὐτῷ Ἰουδαίους· ἐὰν ὑμεῖς μείνητε ἐν τῷ λόγῳ τῷ ἐμῷ, ἀληθῶς μαθηταί μού ἐστε,
32 и҆ ᲂу҆разꙋмѣ́ете и҆́стинꙋ, и҆ и҆́стина свободи́тъ вы̀.
32 You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”
32 καὶ γνώσεσθε τὴν ἀλήθειαν, καὶ ἡ ἀλήθεια ἐλευθερώσει ὑμᾶς.
33 Ѿвѣща́ша (и҆ рѣ́ша) є҆мꙋ̀: сѣ́мѧ а҆враа́мле є҆смы̀ и҆ никомꙋ́же рабо́тахомъ николи́же: ка́кѡ ты̀ гл҃еши, ꙗ҆́кѡ свобо́дни бꙋ́дете;
33 They answered him, “We are Abraham’s offspring, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How do you say, ‘You will be made free’?”
33 ἀπεκρίθησαν αὐτῷ· σπέρμα Ἀβραάμ ἐσμεν καὶ οὐδενὶ δεδουλεύκαμεν πώποτε· πῶς σὺ λέγεις ὅτι ἐλεύθεροι γενήσεσθε;
34 Ѿвѣща̀ и҆̀мъ і҆и҃съ: а҆ми́нь, а҆ми́нь гл҃ю ва́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ всѧ́къ творѧ́й грѣ́хъ ра́бъ є҆́сть грѣха̀:
34 Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the bondservant of sin.
34 ἀπεκρίθη αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι πᾶς ὁ ποιῶν τὴν ἁμαρτίαν δοῦλός ἐστι τῆς ἁμαρτίας.
35 ра́бъ же не пребыва́етъ въ домꙋ̀ во вѣ́къ: сы́нъ пребыва́етъ во вѣ́къ:
35 A bondservant doesn’t live in the house forever. A son remains forever.
35 ὁ δὲ δοῦλος οὐ μένει ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα· ὁ υἱὸς μένει εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.
36 а҆́ще ᲂу҆̀бо сн҃ъ вы̀ свободи́тъ, вои́стиннꙋ свобо́дни бꙋ́дете:
36 If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.
36 ἐὰν οὖν ὁ υἱὸς ὑμᾶς ἐλευθερώσῃ, ὄντως ἐλεύθεροι ἔσεσθε.
37 вѣ́мъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ сѣ́мѧ а҆враа́мле є҆стѐ: но и҆́щете менѐ ᲂу҆би́ти, ꙗ҆́кѡ сло́во моѐ не вмѣща́етсѧ въ вы̀:
37 I know that you are Abraham’s offspring, yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you.
37 οἶδα ὅτι σπέρμα Ἀβραάμ ἐστε· ἀλλὰ ζητεῖτέ με ἀποκτεῖναι, ὅτι ὁ λόγος ὁ ἐμὸς οὐ χωρεῖ ἐν ὑμῖν.
38 а҆́зъ, є҆́же ви́дѣхъ ᲂу҆ ѻ҆ц҃а̀ моегѡ̀, гл҃ю: и҆ вы̀ ᲂу҆̀бо, є҆́же ви́дѣсте ᲂу҆ ѻ҆тца̀ ва́шегѡ, творитѐ.
38 I say the things which I have seen with my Father; and you also do the things which you have seen with your father.”
38 ἐγὼ ὃ ἑώρακα παρὰ τῷ πατρί μου λαλῶ· καὶ ὑμεῖς οὖν ὃ ἑωράκατε παρὰ τῷ πατρὶ ὑμῶν ποιεῖτε.
39 Ѿвѣща́ша и҆ рѣ́ша є҆мꙋ̀: ѻ҆те́цъ на́шъ а҆враа́мъ є҆́сть. Гл҃а и҆̀мъ і҆и҃съ: а҆́ще ча̑да а҆враа̑млѧ бы́сте бы́ли, дѣла̀ а҆враа̑млѧ бы́сте твори́ли:
39 They answered him, “Our father is Abraham.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham.
39 ἀπεκρίθησαν καὶ εἶπον αὐτῷ· ὁ πατὴρ ἡμῶν Ἀβραάμ ἐστι. λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· εἰ τέκνα τοῦ Ἀβραὰμ ἦτε, τὰ ἔργα τοῦ Ἀβραὰμ ἐποιεῖτε.
40 нн҃ѣ же и҆́щете менѐ ᲂу҆би́ти, чл҃вѣ́ка, и҆́же и҆́стинꙋ ва́мъ гл҃ахъ, ю҆́же слы́шахъ ѿ бг҃а: сегѡ̀ а҆враа́мъ нѣ́сть сотвори́лъ:
40 But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham didn’t do this.
40 νῦν δὲ ζητεῖτέ με ἀποκτεῖναι, ἄνθρωπον ὃς τὴν ἀλήθειαν ὑμῖν λελάληκα, ἣν ἤκουσα παρὰ τοῦ Θεοῦ· τοῦτο Ἀβραὰμ οὐκ ἐποίησεν.
41 вы̀ творитѐ дѣла̀ ѻ҆тца̀ ва́шегѡ. Рѣ́ша же є҆мꙋ̀: мы̀ ѿ любодѣѧ́нїѧ нѣ́смы рожде́ни: є҆ди́наго ѻ҆ц҃а̀ и҆́мамы, бг҃а.
41 You do the works of your father.” They said to him, “We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, God.”
41 ὑμεῖς ποιεῖτε τὰ ἔργα τοῦ πατρὸς ὑμῶν. εἶπον οὖν αὐτῷ· ἡμεῖς ἐκ πορνείας οὐ γεγεννήμεθα· ἕνα πατέρα ἔχομεν, τὸν Θεόν.
42 Рече́ же и҆̀мъ і҆и҃съ: а҆́ще бг҃ъ ѻ҆ц҃ъ ва́шъ (бы) бы́лъ, люби́ли бы́сте (ᲂу҆́бѡ) менѐ: а҆́зъ бо ѿ бг҃а и҆зыдо́хъ и҆ прїидо́хъ: не ѡ҆ себѣ́ бо прїидо́хъ, но то́й мѧ̀ посла̀:
42 Therefore 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.
42 εἶπεν οὖν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· εἰ ὁ Θεὸς πατὴρ ὑμῶν ἦν, ἠγαπᾶτε ἂν ἐμέ· ἐγὼ γὰρ ἐκ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐξῆλθον καὶ ἥκω· οὐδὲ γὰρ ἀπ᾽ ἐμαυτοῦ ἐλήλυθα, ἀλλ᾽ ἐκεῖνός με ἀπέστειλε.
43 почто̀ бесѣ́ды моеѧ̀ не разꙋмѣ́ете; ꙗ҆́кѡ не мо́жете слы́шати словесѐ моегѡ̀:
43 Why don’t you understand my speech? Because you can’t hear my word.
43 διατί τὴν λαλιὰν τὴν ἐμὴν οὐ γινώσκετε; ὅτι οὐ δύνασθε ἀκούειν τὸν λόγον τὸν ἐμόν.
44 вы̀ ѻ҆тца̀ (ва́шегѡ) дїа́вола є҆стѐ, и҆ по́хѡти ѻ҆тца̀ ва́шегѡ хо́щете твори́ти: ѻ҆́нъ человѣкоꙋбі́йца бѣ̀ и҆сконѝ и҆ во и҆́стинѣ не стои́тъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ нѣ́сть и҆́стины въ не́мъ: є҆гда̀ глаго́летъ лжꙋ̀, ѿ свои́хъ глаго́летъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ ло́жь є҆́сть и҆ ѻ҆те́цъ лжѝ:
44 You 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.
44 ὑμεῖς ἐκ τοῦ πατρὸς τοῦ διαβόλου ἐστέ, καὶ τὰς ἐπιθυμίας τοῦ πατρὸς ὑμῶν θέλετε ποιεῖν. ἐκεῖνος ἀνθρωποκτόνος ἦν ἀπ᾽ ἀρχῆς καὶ ἐν τῇ ἀληθείᾳ οὐχ ἕστηκεν, ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἀλήθεια ἐν αὐτῷ· ὅταν λαλῇ τὸ ψεῦδος, ἐκ τῶν ἰδίων λαλεῖ, ὅτι ψεύστης ἐστὶ καὶ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ.
45 а҆́зъ же занѐ и҆́стинꙋ гл҃ю, не вѣ́рꙋете мнѣ̀:
45 But because I tell the truth, you don’t believe me.
45 ἐγὼ δὲ ὅτι τὴν ἀλήθειαν λέγω, οὐ πιστεύετέ μοι.
46 кто̀ ѿ ва́съ ѡ҆блича́етъ мѧ̀ ѡ҆ грѣсѣ̀; а҆́ще ли и҆́стинꙋ гл҃ю, почто̀ вы̀ не вѣ́рꙋете мнѣ̀;
46 Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?
46 τίς ἐξ ὑμῶν ἐλέγχει με περὶ ἁμαρτίας; εἰ δὲ ἀλήθειαν λέγω, διατί ὑμεῖς οὐ πιστεύετέ μοι;
47 и҆́же є҆́сть ѿ бг҃а, гл҃го́лѡвъ бж҃їихъ послꙋ́шаетъ: сегѡ̀ ра́ди вы̀ не послꙋ́шаете, ꙗ҆́кѡ ѿ бг҃а нѣ́сте.
47 He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you don’t hear, because you are not of God.”
47 ὁ ὢν ἐκ τοῦ Θεοῦ τὰ ῥήματα τοῦ Θεοῦ ἀκούει· διὰ τοῦτο ὑμεῖς οὐκ ἀκούετε, ὅτι ἐκ τοῦ Θεοῦ οὐκ ἐστέ.
48 Ѿвѣща́ша ᲂу҆̀бо і҆ꙋде́є и҆ рѣ́ша є҆мꙋ̀: не до́брѣ ли мы̀ глаго́лемъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ самарѧни́нъ є҆сѝ ты̀ и҆ бѣ́са и҆́маши;
48 Then the Jews answered him, “Don’t we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?”
48 ἀπεκρίθησαν οὖν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι καὶ εἶπον αὐτῷ· οὐ καλῶς λέγομεν ἡμεῖς ὅτι Σαμαρείτης εἶ σὺ καὶ δαιμόνιον ἔχεις;
49 Ѿвѣща̀ і҆и҃съ: а҆́зъ бѣ́са не и҆́мамъ, но чтꙋ̀ ѻ҆ц҃а̀ моего̀, и҆ вы̀ не чте́те менє̀:
49 Jesus answered, “I don’t have a demon, but I honor my Father and you dishonor me.
49 ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς· ἐγὼ δαιμόνιον οὐκ ἔχω, ἀλλὰ τιμῶ τὸν πατέρα μου, καὶ ὑμεῖς ἀτιμάζετέ με.
50 а҆́зъ же не и҆щꙋ̀ сла́вы моеѧ̀: є҆́сть и҆щѧ̀ и҆ сꙋдѧ̀:
50 But I don’t seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and judges.
50 ἐγὼ δὲ οὐ ζητῶ τὴν δόξαν μου· ἔστιν ὁ ζητῶν καὶ κρίνων.
51 а҆ми́нь, а҆ми́нь гл҃ю ва́мъ: а҆́ще кто̀ сло́во моѐ соблюде́тъ, сме́рти не и҆́мать ви́дѣти во вѣ́ки.
51 Most certainly, I tell you, if a person keeps my word, he will never see death.”
51 ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ἐάν τις τὸν λόγον τὸν ἐμὸν τηρήσῃ, θάνατον οὐ μὴ θεωρήσῃ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.
52 Рѣ́ша ᲂу҆̀бо є҆мꙋ̀ жи́дове: нн҃ѣ разꙋмѣ́хомъ, ꙗ҆́кѡ бѣ́са и҆́маши: а҆враа́мъ ᲂу҆́мре и҆ прⷪ҇ро́цы, и҆ ты̀ гл҃еши: а҆́ще кто̀ сло́во моѐ соблюде́тъ, сме́рти не и҆́мать вкꙋси́ти во вѣ́ки:
52 Then 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.’
52 εἶπον οὖν αὐτῷ οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι· νῦν ἐγνώκαμεν ὅτι δαιμόνιον ἔχεις. Ἀβραὰμ ἀπέθανε καὶ οἱ προφῆται, καὶ σὺ λέγεις, ἐάν τις τὸν λόγον μου τηρήσῃ, οὐ μὴ γεύσηται θανάτου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα;
53 є҆да̀ ты̀ бо́лїй є҆сѝ ѻ҆тца̀ на́шегѡ а҆враа́ма, и҆́же ᲂу҆́мре; и҆ прⷪ҇ро́цы ᲂу҆мро́ша: кого̀ себѐ са́мъ ты̀ твори́ши;
53 Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? The prophets died. Who do you make yourself out to be?”
53 μὴ σὺ μείζων εἶ τοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν Ἀβραάμ, ὅστις ἀπέθανε; καὶ οἱ προφῆται ἀπέθανον· τίνα σεαυτὸν σὺ ποιεῖς;
54 Ѿвѣща̀ і҆и҃съ: а҆́ще а҆́зъ сла́влюсѧ са́мъ, сла́ва моѧ̀ ничесѡ́же є҆́сть: є҆́сть ѻ҆ц҃ъ мо́й сла́вѧй мѧ̀, є҆го́же вы̀ глаго́лете, ꙗ҆́кѡ бг҃ъ ва́шъ є҆́сть:
54 Jesus 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.
54 ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς· ἐὰν ἐγὼ δοξάζω ἐμαυτόν, ἡ δόξα μου οὐδέν ἐστιν· ἔστιν ὁ πατήρ μου ὁ δοξάζων με, ὃν ὑμεῖς λέγετε ὅτι Θεὸς ὑμῶν ἐστι,
55 и҆ не позна́сте є҆гѡ̀, а҆́зъ же вѣ́мъ є҆го̀: и҆ а҆́ще рекꙋ̀, ꙗ҆́кѡ не вѣ́мъ є҆гѡ̀, бꙋ́дꙋ подо́бенъ ва́мъ ло́жь: но вѣ́мъ є҆го̀ и҆ сло́во є҆гѡ̀ соблюда́ю:
55 You 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.
55 καὶ οὐκ ἐγνώκατε αὐτόν· ἐγὼ δὲ οἶδα αὐτόν. καὶ ἐὰν εἴπω ὅτι οὐκ οἶδα αὐτόν, ἔσομαι ὅμοιος ὑμῶν ψεύστης· ἀλλ᾽ οἶδα αὐτὸν καὶ τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ τηρῶ.
56 а҆враа́мъ ѻ҆те́цъ ва́шъ ра́дъ бы бы́лъ, дабы̀ ви́дѣлъ де́нь мо́й: и҆ ви́дѣ и҆ возра́довасѧ.
56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day. He saw it and was glad.”
56 Ἀβραὰμ ὁ πατὴρ ὑμῶν ἠγαλλιάσατο ἵνα ἴδῃ τὴν ἡμέραν τὴν ἐμήν, καὶ εἶδε καὶ ἐχάρη.
57 Рѣ́ша ᲂу҆̀бо і҆ꙋде́є къ немꙋ̀: пѧти́десѧтъ лѣ́тъ не ᲂу҆̀ и҆́маши, и҆ а҆враа́ма ли є҆сѝ ви́дѣлъ;
57 The Jews therefore said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old! Have you seen Abraham?”
57 εἶπον οὖν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι πρὸς αὐτόν· πεντήκοντα ἔτη οὔπω ἔχεις καὶ Ἀβραὰμ ἑώρακας;
58 Рече́ (же) и҆̀мъ і҆и҃съ: а҆ми́нь, а҆ми́нь гл҃ю ва́мъ: пре́жде да́же а҆враа́мъ не бы́сть, а҆́зъ є҆́смь.
58 Jesus said to them, “Most certainly, I tell you, before Abraham came into existence, I AM.”
58 εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, πρὶν Ἀβραὰμ γενέσθαι ἐγώ εἰμι.
59 Взѧ́ша ᲂу҆̀бо ка́менїе, да ве́ргꙋтъ на́нь: і҆и҃съ же скры́сѧ и҆ и҆зы́де и҆з̾ це́ркве, проше́дъ посредѣ̀ и҆́хъ: и҆ мимохожда́ше та́кѡ.
59 Therefore 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.
59 ἦραν οὖν λίθους ἵνα βάλωσιν ἐπ᾽ αὐτόν. Ἰησοῦς δὲ ἐκρύβη, καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἐκ τοῦ ἱεροῦ διελθὼν διὰ μέσου αὐτῶν, καὶ παρῆγεν οὕτως.

Why does my Bible say something different?
- John 7:53–8:11: the woman taken in adultery
The story of the woman brought to Jesus, “He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone,” is missing from the earliest Greek manuscripts of John and wanders to other places in some later ones. Yet it was known in the early Church, is printed in the Patriarchal Text, and is read in Orthodox services. Most scholars think it is a genuine early tradition that was not originally part of John.
What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Ye know well, Beloved, that we all have One Master, and are fellow disciples under Him. Nor are we your masters, because we speak to you from this higher spot; but He is the Master of all, who dwelleth in us all.

What we have just heard and attentively received, as the holy Gospel was being read, I doubt not that all of us have also endeavored to understand, and that each of us according to his measure apprehended what he could of so great a matter as that which has been read; and while the bread of the word is laid …

Oh the folly of the Jews! seeking Him as they did before the Passover, and then having found Him in the midst of them, and having often attempted to take Him by their own or by others' hands without being able; they were not even so awed by His power, but set themselves to their wickedness, and desisted not.

For when the Lord said to them, "Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day; and he saw it, and was glad," they answered Him, "Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast Thou seen Abraham?" Now, such language is fittingly applied to one who has already passed the age of forty, without having as yet reached his fiftieth …
The same is Thy Word, which is also "the Beginning," because also It speaketh unto us. Thus, in the gospel He speaketh through the flesh; and this sounded outwardly in the ears of men, that it might be believed and sought inwardly, and that it might be found in the eternal Truth, where the good and only Master teacheth all …
