1◆ ]]
1 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
2 Not in this translation
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.
3 Not in this translation
3 The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery. Having set her in the middle,
4 Not in this translation
4 they told him, “Teacher, we found this woman in adultery, in the very act.
5 Not in this translation
5 Now in our law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. What then do you say about her?”
6 Not in this translation
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.
7 Not in this translation
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.”
8 Not in this translation
8 Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger.
9 Not in this translation
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.
10 Not in this translation
10 Jesus, standing up, saw her and said, “Woman, where are your accusers? Did no one condemn you?”
11 Not in this translation
11 She said, “No one, Lord.” Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go your way. From now on, sin no more.”
12 Jesús les habló otra vez: Yo soy la Luz del mundo. El que me sigue, de ningún modo andará en la oscuridad, sino 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.”
13 Los fariseos le dijeron: Tú das testimonio de Ti mismo. Tu testimonio no es verdadero.
13 The Pharisees therefore said to him, “You testify about yourself. Your testimony is not valid.”
14 Jesús respondió: Aunque Yo dé testimonio de Mí mismo, mi testimonio es verdadero porque sé de dónde vine y a dónde voy. Pero ustedes no lo saben.
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.
15 Ustedes juzgan según la apariencia. Yo a nadie juzgo.
15 You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.
16 Si juzgo, mi juicio es verdadero, porque no estoy solo, sino Yo y el Padre Quien me envió.
16 Even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.
17 En la Ley de ustedes está escrito que el testimonio de dos hombres es veraz.
17 It’s also written in your law that the testimony of two people is valid.
18 Yo doy testimonio de Mí mismo, y el que me envió también da testimonio de Mí.
18 I am one who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me.”
19 Entonces le preguntaron: ¿Dónde está tu padre? Jesús respondió: No me conocen a Mí ni a mi Padre. Si me conocieran a Mí, también conocerían a mi 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.”
20 Estas palabras habló cuando enseñaba frente al tesoro en el Templo, pero nadie lo detuvo, porque no había llegado su hora.
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.
21 [Jesús] les dijo otra vez: Yo me voy, y me buscarán. En su pecado morirán. Adonde 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.”
22 Entonces los judíos se preguntaban: ¿Se suicidará? Porque dice: Adonde Yo voy, ustedes no pueden ir.
22 The Jews therefore said, “Will he kill himself, because he says, ‘Where I am going, you can’t come’?”
23 Les decía: Ustedes son de abajo, Yo soy de 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.
24 Por eso les dije que morirán en sus pecados. Si no creen que Yo Soy, 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.”
25 Entonces le preguntaron: ¿Tú Quién eres? Jesús les respondió: Lo que les dije [desde] el principio.
25 They said therefore to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them, “Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.
26 Tengo que decir y juzgar muchas cosas con respecto a ustedes, pero el que me envió es veraz. Yo hablo en el mundo lo que oí de 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.”
27 Pero [ellos] no entendieron que [Jesús] les hablaba del Padre.
27 They didn’t understand that he spoke to them about the Father.
28 Entonces Jesús dijo: Cuando [ustedes] levanten al Hijo del Hombre comprenderán que Yo Soy, y que nada hago por iniciativa propia, sino hablo lo que el Padre me enseñó.
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.
29 El que me envió está conmigo. No me dejó solo, porque Yo siempre hago lo que 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.”
30 Cuando Él decía esto muchos creyeron en Él.
30 As he spoke these things, many believed in him.
31 Entonces Jesús decía a los judíos que creyeron en Él: Si ustedes permanecen en mi Palabra, son verdaderamente 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.
32 Conocerán la Verdad, y la Verdad los libertará.
32 You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”
33 Le respondieron: Somos descendencia de Abraham, y jamás fuimos esclavos. ¿Porque dices 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’?”
34 Jesús les respondió: En verdad, en verdad les digo que todo el que practica el pecado es esclavo del pecado.
34 Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the bondservant of sin.
35 El esclavo no permanece en casa para siempre. El hijo permanece para siempre.
35 A bondservant doesn’t live in the house forever. A son remains forever.
36 Así que si el Hijo los liberta, serán verdaderamente libres.
36 If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.
37 Sé que son descendientes de Abraham, pero quieren matarme porque mi Palabra no penetra en ustedes.
37 I know that you are Abraham’s offspring, yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you.
38 Yo hablo lo que vi junto al Padre, y ustedes hacen lo que oyeron del padre [de ustedes].
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.”
39 Respondieron: Nuestro padre es Abraham. Jesús les dijo: Si fueran hijos de Abraham, harían las obras de Abraham.
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.
40 Pero ahora quieren matar a un Hombre Quien les habla la verdad que oyó de Dios. Abraham no hizo esto.
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.
41 Ustedes hacen las obras de su padre. Le contestaron: Nosotros no nacimos de inmoralidad sexual. Un Padre tenemos: Dios.
41 You do the works of your father.” They said to him, “We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, God.”
42 Jesús les respondió: Si Dios fuera su Padre, ciertamente me amarían, porque Yo procedo de Dios. No vine por iniciativa propia, sino Él 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.
43 ¿Por qué no entienden lo que digo? Porque no quieren escuchar mi Palabra.
43 Why don’t you understand my speech? Because you can’t hear my word.
44 Ustedes son de [su] padre el diablo, y quieren practicar los deseos de su padre. Él fue homicida desde el principio y no permaneció en la verdad, porque no hay verdad en él. Cuando miente, habla de lo suyo, pues es mentiroso y padre de 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.
45 Pero Yo [les] digo la verdad y no me creen.
45 But because I tell the truth, you don’t believe me.
46 ¿Quién de ustedes me reprocha de pecado? Si digo verdad, ¿por qué ustedes no me creen?
46 Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?
47 El que es de Dios escucha las Palabras de Dios. Por eso ustedes no las 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.”
48 Los judíos respondieron: ¿No tenemos razón cuando decimos que Tú eres samaritano y tienes demonio?
48 Then the Jews answered him, “Don’t we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?”
49 Jesús respondió: Yo no tengo demonio, sino honro a mi Padre. Y ustedes me deshonran.
49 Jesus answered, “I don’t have a demon, but I honor my Father and you dishonor me.
50 Pero Yo no busco mi gloria. Hay Uno que [la] busca y juzga.
50 But I don’t seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and judges.
51 En verdad, en verdad les digo: Si alguno practica mi Palabra, que de ningún modo sufra muerte para siempre.
51 Most certainly, I tell you, if a person keeps my word, he will never see death.”
52 Los judíos le dijeron: Ahora entendemos que tienes demonio. Abraham y los profetas murieron. Tú dices: Si alguno practica mi Palabra, que de ningún modo sufra muerte para siempre.
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.’
53 ¿Eres Tú mayor que nuestro padre Abraham? Él y los profetas murieron. ¿Quién crees que eres?
53 Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? The prophets died. Who do you make yourself out to be?”
54 Jesús respondió: Si Yo me glorifico a Mí mismo, mi gloria no vale. Me glorifica mi Padre, de Quien 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.
55 Ustedes no lo conocen, pero Yo lo conozco. Si dijera que no lo conozco, sería un mentiroso semejante a ustedes. Pero lo conozco y guardo 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.
56 Abraham, el padre de ustedes, se regocijó al ver mi día. [Lo] vio y se regocijó.
56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day. He saw it and was glad.”
57 Entonces los judíos le dijeron: Aún no tienes 50 años, ¿y viste a Abraham?
57 The Jews therefore said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old! Have you seen Abraham?”
58 Jesús les contestó: En verdad, en verdad les digo: Antes que Abraham existiera, Yo Soy.
58 Jesus said to them, “Most certainly, I tell you, before Abraham came into existence, I AM.”
59 Entonces, [los judíos] tomaron piedras para lanzárselas, pero Jesús se ocultó 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.

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.

    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.
