PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
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◆ Entonces los maestros de la ley y los fariseos llevaron a una mujer que había sido sorprendida en adulterio. La pusieron en medio del grupo
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◆ y le dijeron a Jesús: ―Maestro, esta mujer ha sido sorprendida en el momento mismo en que cometía adulterio.
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◆ Ellos le estaban poniendo una trampa al hacerle esa pregunta, para así tener de qué acusarlo. Pero Jesús se inclinó y comenzó a escribir en el suelo con su dedo.
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◆ Como seguían haciéndole preguntas, se enderezó y les dijo: ―Aquel de ustedes que nunca haya pecado, tire la primera piedra.
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◆ Al oír esto, los más viejos comenzaron a irse, y luego poco a poco los demás también se fueron. Sólo la mujer seguía allí y Jesús se quedó solo con ella.
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 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 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 Jesús, una vez más le habló a la gente diciendo: ―Yo soy la luz del mundo. El que me sigue no andará en oscuridad, porque tendrá la luz de la vida.
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 Los fariseos le dijeron: ―Tú eres tu propio testigo y por eso tu testimonio no es válido.
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 Jesús respondió: ―Aunque yo sea mi propio testigo, mi testimonio es válido. Porque yo sé de dónde vengo y a dónde voy; pero ustedes no saben de dónde vengo ni a dónde voy.
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 Ustedes juzgan según criterios humanos; yo, en cambio, no juzgo a nadie.
15 You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.
15 ὑμεῖς κατὰ τὴν σάρκα κρίνετε· ἐγὼ οὐ κρίνω οὐδένα.
16 Pero si lo hago, mi juicio es de acuerdo con la verdad, porque yo no juzgo por mi cuenta, sino que el Padre que me envió juzga conmigo.
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 En la ley de ustedes está escrito que el testimonio de dos personas se considera verdadero.
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 Yo mismo soy uno de mis testigos; y mi Padre que me envió es el otro.
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 Le preguntaron: ―¿Dónde está tu padre? ―Si me conocieran a mí, también conocerían al Padre.
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 Jesús dijo estas palabras mientras enseñaba en el templo, en el lugar donde se ponen las ofrendas. Pero nadie lo arrestó porque todavía no había llegado su tiempo.
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 Jesús les dijo una vez más: ―Yo me voy, y ustedes me buscarán, pero morirán en su pecado. A donde yo voy, ustedes no pueden ir.
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 Los judíos decían: «¿Será que está pensando suicidarse, y por eso dice que a donde él va nosotros no podemos ir?».
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 Jesús continuó diciendo: ―Ustedes son de aquí abajo; yo soy de allá arriba. Ustedes son de este mundo; yo no soy de este mundo.
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 Por eso les dije que morirán en sus pecados. Pues si no creen que yo soy el que afirmo ser, morirán en sus pecados.
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 Le preguntaron: ―¿Quién eres tú? Jesús les contestó: ―En primer lugar, ¿por qué tengo que darles explicaciones?
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 Yo tengo muchas cosas que decir y juzgar de ustedes. Pero el que me envió es verdadero, y yo le repito al mundo lo que le he oído decir a él.
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 Pero ellos seguían sin entender que les estaba hablando de Dios.
27 They didn’t understand that he spoke to them about the Father.
27 οὐκ ἔγνωσαν ὅτι τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῖς ἔλεγεν.
28 Por eso Jesús les dijo: ―Cuando hayan levantado al Hijo del hombre, ustedes comprenderán que yo soy, y que no hago nada por mi propia cuenta, sino que hablo lo que el Padre me ha enseñado.
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 El que me envió está conmigo y no me ha dejado solo, porque siempre hago lo que a él le agrada.
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 Cuando Jesús dijo todo esto, muchos creyeron en él.
30 As he spoke these things, many believed in him.
30 Ταῦτα αὐτοῦ λαλοῦντος πολλοὶ ἐπίστευσαν εἰς αὐτόν.
31 Entonces Jesús les dijo a los judíos que creyeron en él: ―Si ustedes se mantienen obedientes a mis enseñanzas, serán de verdad mis discípulos.
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 Entonces conocerán la verdad, y la verdad los hará libres.
32 You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”
32 καὶ γνώσεσθε τὴν ἀλήθειαν, καὶ ἡ ἀλήθεια ἐλευθερώσει ὑμᾶς.
33 Ellos le contestaron: ―Nosotros somos descendientes de Abraham y nunca hemos sido esclavos de nadie. ¿Qué quieres decir con eso de que seremos libres?
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 Jesús respondió: ―Es bien cierto que el que peca es esclavo del pecado.
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 El esclavo no se queda para siempre en la familia; el hijo, en cambio, sí se queda para siempre en la familia.
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 Así que si el Hijo los libera, serán libres de verdad.
36 If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.
36 ἐὰν οὖν ὁ υἱὸς ὑμᾶς ἐλευθερώσῃ, ὄντως ἐλεύθεροι ἔσεσθε.
37 Yo sé que ustedes son descendientes de Abraham. Sin embargo, tratan de matarme porque no quieren aceptar mi palabra.
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 Yo hablo de lo que he visto al estar con mi Padre. Así también ustedes, hagan lo que del Padre han escuchado.
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 Ellos respondieron: ―¡Nuestro padre es Abraham! Él les dijo: ―Si ustedes fueran en verdad sus hijos, harían lo que él hizo.
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 Yo les he dicho la verdad que he recibido de Dios, y aun así ustedes quieren matarme. ¡Abraham nunca hizo tal cosa!
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 Lo que ustedes hacen es lo que hace su padre. Ellos le respondieron: ―Nosotros no somos hijos que nacieron de prostitución. Nuestro Padre es sólo uno, y es Dios mismo.
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 Jesús les contestó: ―Si en verdad Dios fuera su Padre, ustedes me amarían, porque vine de Dios y aquí estoy. No vine por mi propia cuenta, sino porque Dios me envió.
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 ¿Por qué no entienden lo que les hablo? Porque no pueden aceptar mi mensaje.
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 Ustedes son de su padre el diablo y quieren cumplir los deseos de él. Desde el principio el diablo ha sido un asesino, y no se mantiene en la verdad porque no hay verdad en él. Él es mentiroso por naturaleza, y por eso miente. ¡Él es el padre de la mentira!
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 Pero a mí, que les digo la verdad, no me creen.
45 But because I tell the truth, you don’t believe me.
45 ἐγὼ δὲ ὅτι τὴν ἀλήθειαν λέγω, οὐ πιστεύετέ μοι.
46 ¿Quién de ustedes me puede probar que he pecado? Si digo la verdad, ¿por qué no me creen?
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 El que es de Dios escucha lo que Dios dice. Pero ustedes no escuchan, porque no son de Dios.
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 Los judíos respondieron: ―Tenemos razón al decir que eres samaritano, y que estás endemoniado.
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 Jesús les respondió: ―No tengo ningún demonio. Lo único que hago es honrar a mi Padre. Ustedes en cambio, me deshonran a mí.
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 Yo no busco que me den la gloria a mí; pero hay uno que sí la busca, y él es el que juzga.
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 La verdad es que el que obedece mi palabra, nunca morirá.
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 Los judíos dijeron: ―Ahora estamos seguros de que estás endemoniado. Abraham murió y también los profetas, pero tú dices que si alguno obedece tu palabra, nunca morirá.
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 ¿Acaso eres más importante que nuestro padre Abraham? Él murió, y también los profetas murieron. ¿Quién te has creído que eres?
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 Jesús les respondió: ―Si yo me doy gloria a mí mismo, mi gloria no sirve de nada. Pero el que me da la gloria es mi Padre, el que ustedes dicen que es su Dios.
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 Pero en realidad, ustedes no lo conocen. Yo, en cambio, sí lo conozco. Si yo les dijera que no lo conozco, sería tan mentiroso como ustedes. Pero lo conozco y obedezco su palabra.
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 Abraham, el padre de ustedes, se llenó de alegría al pensar que vería mi día; lo vio y se alegró.
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 Los judíos le dijeron: ―Todavía no tienes cincuenta años de edad, ¿y ya has visto a Abraham?
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 ―La verdad es que, antes que Abraham naciera, yo existo.
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 Entonces los judíos tomaron piedras para arrojárselas, pero Jesús se escondió y salió del templo.
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.

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 …
