RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1◆ And at dawn He came again to the temple [courts],
1 Y JESÚS se fué al monte de las Olivas.
2◆ and all the people were coming to Him, and having sat down, He was teaching them;
2 Y por la mañana volvió al templo, y todo el pueblo vino á él: y sentado él, los enseñaba.
3◆ and the scribes and the Pharisees bring to Him a woman having been taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst,
3 Entonces los escribas y los Fariseos le traen una mujer tomada en adulterio; y poniéndola en medio,
4◆ they say to Him, “Teacher, this woman was taken in the very crime [of] committing adultery,
4 Dícenle: Maestro, esta mujer ha sido tomada en el mismo hecho, adulterando;
5◆ and in the Law, Moses commanded us that such be stoned; You, therefore, what do You say?”
5 Y en la ley Moisés nos mandó apedrear á las tales: tú pues, ¿qué dices?
6◆ And this they said, trying Him, that they might have to accuse Him. And Jesus, having stooped down, with the finger He was writing on the ground,
6 Mas esto decían tentándole, para poder acusarle. Empero Jesús, inclinado hacia abajo, escribía en tierra con el dedo.
7◆ and when they continued asking Him, having bent Himself back, He said to them, “The sinless of you—let him cast the first stone at her”;
7 Y como perseverasen preguntándole, enderezóse, y díjoles: El que de vosotros esté sin pecado, arroje contra ella la piedra el primero.
8◆ and again having stooped down, He was writing on the ground,
8 Y volviéndose á inclinar hacia abajo, escribía en tierra.
9◆ and they having heard, and being convicted by the conscience, were going forth one by one, having begun from the elders—to the last; and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
9 Oyendo, 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.
10◆ And Jesus having bent Himself back, and having seen no one but the woman, said to her, “Woman, where are those—your accusers? Did no one pass sentence on you?”
10 Y enderezándose Jesús, y no viendo á nadie más que á la mujer, díjole: ¿Mujer, dónde están los que te acusaban? ¿Ninguno te ha condenado?
11◆ And she said, “No one, Lord”; and Jesus said to her, “Neither do I pass sentence on you; be going on, and sin no more.”]]
11 Y ella dijo: Señor, ninguno. Entonces Jesús le dijo: Ni yo te condeno: vete, y no peques más.
12 Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I AM the light of the world; he who is following Me will not walk in the darkness, but he will have the light of life.”
12 Y 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.
13 The Pharisees, therefore, said to Him, “You testify of Yourself, Your testimony is not true”;
13 Entonces los Fariseos le dijeron: Tú de ti mismo das testimonio: tu testimonio no es verdadero.
14 Jesus answered and said to them, “And if I testify of Myself—My testimony is true, because I have known from where I came, and to where I go, and you have not known from where I come, or to where I go.
14 Respondió 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.
15 You judge according to the flesh; I do not judge anyone,
15 Vosotros según la carne juzgáis; mas yo no juzgo á nadie.
16 and even if I do judge My judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent Me;
16 Y si yo juzgo, mi juicio es verdadero; porque no soy solo, sino yo y el que me envió, el Padre.
17 and also in your law it has been written that the testimony of two men is true;
17 Y en vuestra ley está escrito que el testimonio de dos hombres es verdadero.
18 I am [One] who is testifying of Myself, and the Father who sent Me testifies of Me.”
18 Yo soy el que doy testimonio de mí mismo: y da testimonio de mí el que me envió, el Padre.
19 They said, therefore, to Him, “Where is Your father?” Jesus answered, “You have neither known Me nor My Father: if you had known Me, you had also known My Father.”
19 Y 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.
20 Jesus spoke these sayings in the treasury, teaching in the temple, and no one seized Him, because His hour had not yet come;
20 Estas palabras habló Jesús en el lugar de las limosnas, enseñando en el templo: y nadie le prendió; porque aun no había venido su hora.
21 therefore Jesus said again to them, “I go away, and you will seek Me, and you will die in your sin; to where I go away, you are not able to come.”
21 Y díjoles otra vez Jesús: Yo me voy, y me buscaréis, mas en vuestro pecado moriréis: á donde yo voy, vosotros no podéis venir.
22 The Jews, therefore, said, “Will He kill Himself, because He says, To where I go away, you are not able to come?”
22 Decían entonces los Judíos: ¿Hase de matar á sí mismo, que dice: A donde yo voy, vosotros no podéis venir?
23 And He said to them, “You are from beneath, I am from above; you are of this world, I am not of this world;
23 Y decíales: Vosotros sois de abajo, yo soy de arriba; vosotros sois de este mundo, yo no soy de este mundo.
24 I said, therefore, to you, that you will die in your sins, for if you may not believe that I AM, you will die in your sins.”
24 Por eso os dije que moriréis en vuestros pecados; porque si no creyereis que yo soy, en vuestros pecados moriréis.
25 They said, therefore, to Him, “You—who are You?” And Jesus said to them, “Even what I spoke of to you at the beginning;
25 Y decíanle: ¿Tú quién eres? Entonces Jesús les dijo: El que al principio también os he dicho.
26 many things I have to speak concerning you and to judge, but He who sent Me is true, and I—what things I heard from Him—these I say to the world.”
26 Muchas 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.
27 They did not know that He spoke to them of the Father;
27 Mas no entendieron que él les hablaba del Padre.
28 Jesus, therefore, said to them, “When you may lift up the Son of Man then you will know that I AM; and I do nothing of Myself, but according as My Father taught Me, these things I speak;
28 Díjoles 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.
29 and He who sent Me is with Me; the Father did not leave Me alone, because I always do the things pleasing to Him.”
29 Porque el que me envió, conmigo está; no me ha dejado solo el Padre; porque yo, lo que á él agrada, hago siempre.
30 As He is speaking these things, many believed in Him;
30 Hablando él estas cosas, muchos creyeron en él.
31 Jesus, therefore, said to the Jews who believed in Him, “If you may remain in My word, you are truly My disciples,
31 Y decía Jesús á los Judíos que le habían creído: Si vosotros permaneciereis en mi palabra, seréis verdaderamente mis discípulos;
32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”
32 Y conoceréis la verdad, y la verdad os libertará.
33 They answered Him, “We are seed of Abraham; and we have been servants to no one at any time; how do You say—You will become free?”
33 Y respondiéronle: Simiente de Abraham somos, y jamás servimos á nadie: ¿cómo dices tú: Seréis libres?
34 Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who is committing sin, is a servant of sin,
34 Jesús les respondió: De cierto, de cierto os digo, que todo aquel que hace pecado, es siervo de pecado.
35 and the servant does not remain in the house—throughout the age, the Son remains—throughout the age;
35 Y el siervo no queda en casa para siempre: el hijo queda para siempre.
36 if then the Son may make you free, in reality you will be free.
36 Así que, si el Hijo os libertare, seréis verdaderamente libres.
37 I have known that you are seed of Abraham, but you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you;
37 Sé que sois simiente de Abraham, mas procuráis matarme, porque mi palabra no cabe en vosotros.
38 I speak that which I have seen with My Father, and you, therefore, do that which you have seen with your father.”
38 Yo hablo lo que he visto cerca del Padre; y vosotros hacéis lo que habéis oído cerca de vuestro padre.
39 They answered and said to Him, “Our father is Abraham”; Jesus says to them, “If you were children of Abraham, the works of Abraham you were doing;
39 Respondieron y dijéronle: Nuestro padre es Abraham. Díceles Jesús: Si fuerais hijos de Abraham, las obras de Abraham haríais.
40 and now, you seek to kill Me—a Man who has spoken to you the truth I heard from God; Abraham did not do this;
40 Empero ahora procuráis matarme, hombre que os he hablado la verdad, la cual he oído de Dios: no hizo esto Abraham.
41 you do the works of your father.” They said, therefore, to Him, “We have not been born of whoredom; we have one Father—God”;
41 Vosotros hacéis las obras de vuestro padre. Dijéronle entonces: Nosotros no somos nacidos de fornicación; un padre tenemos, [que es] Dios.
42 Jesus then said to them, “If God were your father, you were loving Me, for I came forth from God, and am come; for neither have I come of Myself, but He sent Me;
42 Jesús 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 why do you not know My speech? Because you are not able to hear My word.
43 ¿Por qué no reconocéis mi lenguaje? porque no podéis oir mi palabra.
44 You are of a father—the Devil, and the desires of your father you will to do; he was a manslayer from the beginning, and he has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him; when one may speak the falsehood, he speaks of his own, because he is a liar—also his father.
44 Vosotros 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.
45 And because I say the truth, you do not believe Me.
45 Y porque yo digo verdad, no me creéis.
46 Who of you convicts Me of sin? And if I speak truth, why do you not believe Me?
46 ¿Quién de vosotros me redarguye de pecado? Pues si digo verdad, ¿por qué vosotros no me creéis?
47 He who is of God, he hears the sayings of God; because of this you do not hear, because you are not of God.”
47 El que es de Dios, las palabras de Dios oye: por esto no [las] oís vosotros, porque no sois de Dios.
48 The Jews, therefore, answered and said to Him, “Do we not say well, that You are a Samaritan, and have a demon?”
48 Respondieron entonces los Judíos, y dijéronle: ¿No decimos bien nosotros, que tú eres Samaritano, y tienes demonio?
49 Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon, but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me;
49 Respondió Jesús: Yo no tengo demonio, antes honro á mi Padre; y vosotros me habéis deshonrado.
50 and I do not seek My own glory; there is [One] who is seeking and is judging;
50 Y no busco mi gloria: hay quien [la] busque, y juzgue.
51 truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone may keep My word, he may not see death—throughout the age.”
51 De cierto, de cierto os digo, que el que guardare mi palabra, no verá muerte para siempre.
52 The Jews, therefore, said to Him, “Now we have known that You have a demon; Abraham died, and the prophets, and You say, If anyone may keep My word, he will not taste of death—throughout the age!
52 Entonces 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 Are You greater than our father Abraham, who died? And the prophets died; whom do You make Yourself?”
53 ¿Eres tú mayor que nuestro padre Abraham, el cual murió? y los profetas murieron: ¿quién te haces á ti mismo?
54 Jesus answered, “If I glorify Myself, My glory is nothing; it is My Father who is glorifying Me, of whom you say that He is your God;
54 Respondió 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;
55 and you have not known Him, and I have known Him, and if I say that I have not known Him, I will be like you—speaking falsely; but I have known Him, and I keep His word;
55 Y 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.
56 your father Abraham was glad that he might see My day; and he saw, and rejoiced.”
56 Abraham vuestro padre se gozó por ver mi día; y lo vió, y se gozó.
57 The Jews, therefore, said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and You have seen Abraham?”
57 Dijéronle entonces los Judíos: Aun no tienes cincuenta años, ¿y has visto á Abraham?
58 Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham’s coming—I AM”;
58 Díjoles Jesús: De cierto, de cierto os digo: Antes que Abraham fuese, yo soy.
59 they took up, therefore, stones that they may cast at Him, but Jesus hid Himself, and went forth out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
59 Tomaron entonces piedras para tirarle: mas Jesús se encubrió, y salió del templo; y atravesando por medio de ellos, se fué.

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).

  1. Commentary 8:31 Augustine of Hippo, Sermons on Selected Lessons of the New Testament (Sermon LXXXIV)

    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?"

    The same is Thy Word, which is also "the Beginning," because also It speaketh unto us.
