John 8 Unlocked Literal Bible
Audio: World English Bible (WEB), read by Winfred W. Henson · About the recordings
2◆ Early in the morning he came to the temple again, and all the people came; he sat down and taught them.
2 Y por la mañana volvió al templo, y todo el pueblo vino á él: y sentado él, los enseñaba.
3◆ The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman caught in the act of adultery. They placed her in the middle.
3 Entonces los escribas y los Fariseos le traen una mujer tomada en adulterio; y poniéndola en medio,
4 Dícenle: Maestro, esta mujer ha sido tomada en el mismo hecho, adulterando;
5 Y en la ley Moisés nos mandó apedrear á las tales: tú pues, ¿qué dices?
6◆ They said this in order to trap him so that they might have something to accuse him about, but Jesus bent down and wrote on the ground with his finger.
6 Mas esto decían tentándole, para poder acusarle. Empero Jesús, inclinado hacia abajo, escribía en tierra con el dedo.
7◆ When they continued asking him questions, he stood up and said to them, “The one among you who has no sin, let him be the first to throw a 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 Y volviéndose á inclinar hacia abajo, escribía en tierra.
9◆ When they heard it, they left one by one, beginning with the oldest. Finally Jesus was left alone, with the woman who had been in the middle.
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 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 Y ella dijo: Señor, ninguno. Entonces Jesús le dijo: Ni yo te condeno: vete, y no peques más.
12 Again 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 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 said to him, “You bear witness about yourself; your witness 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, “Even if I bear witness about myself, my witness is true. I know where I came from and where I am going, but you do not know where I came from or where I am going.
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 the flesh; I judge no one.
15 Vosotros según la carne juzgáis; mas yo no juzgo á nadie.
16 Yet if I judge, my judgment is true because I am not alone, but I am with 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 Yes, and in your law it is 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 he who bears witness about myself, and the Father who sent me bears witness about 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 to him, “Where is your father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither me nor my Father; if you had known me, you would have known my Father also.”
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 He said these words in the treasury as he taught in the temple, and no one arrested 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 So again he said to them, “I am going away; you will seek me and will die in your sin. Where I am going, you cannot 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 said, “Will he kill himself? Is that why he says, 'Where I am going you cannot come'?”
22 Decían entonces los Judíos: ¿Hase de matar á sí mismo, que dice: A donde yo voy, vosotros no podéis venir?
23 Jesus said to them, “You are from below; 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 Therefore, I said to you that you will die in your sins. For unless you 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, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them, “What I have said to you from the beginning.
25 Y decíanle: ¿Tú quién eres? Entonces Jesús les dijo: El que al principio también os he dicho.
26 I have many things to speak and to judge about you. However, he who sent me is true; and the things that I heard from him, these things 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 understand that he was speaking to them about the Father.
27 Mas no entendieron que él les hablaba del Padre.
28 Jesus said, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then will you know that I AM, and that I do nothing of myself. As the Father taught me, I speak these things.
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 He who sent me is with me, and he has not left me alone, because I always do what is 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 Jesus was saying these things, many believed in him.
30 Hablando él estas cosas, muchos creyeron en él.
31 Jesus said to those Jews who had believed him, “If you remain in my word, then 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 set you free.”
32 Y conoceréis la verdad, y la verdad os libertará.
33 They answered him, “We are descendants of Abraham and have never been slaves of anyone; how can you say, 'You will be set 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 commits sin is the slave of sin.
34 Jesús les respondió: De cierto, de cierto os digo, que todo aquel que hace pecado, es siervo de pecado.
35 The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son remains forever.
35 Y el siervo no queda en casa para siempre: el hijo queda para siempre.
36 Therefore, if the Son sets you free, you will be truly free.
36 Así que, si el Hijo os libertare, seréis verdaderamente libres.
37 I know that you are Abraham's descendants; 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 say what I have seen with my Father, and you also do what you heard from 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 said to them, “If you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham.
39 Respondieron y dijéronle: Nuestro padre es Abraham. Díceles Jesús: Si fuerais hijos de Abraham, las obras de Abraham haríais.
40 Yet, now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that 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 to him, “We were not born in sexual immorality; 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 said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and am here; 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 understand my words? It is because you cannot hear my words.
43 ¿Por qué no reconocéis mi lenguaje? porque no podéis oir mi palabra.
44 You are of your father, the devil, and you wish to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature because he is a liar and the father of lies.
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 Yet, because I speak the truth, you do not believe me.
45 Y porque yo digo verdad, no me creéis.
46 Which one of you convicts me of sin? If I speak the 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 hears the words of God; you do not hear them 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 answered and said to him, “Do we not truly say 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 I do not seek my glory; there is one seeking and judging.
50 Y no busco mi gloria: hay quien [la] busque, y juzgue.
51 Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death.”
51 De cierto, de cierto os digo, que el que guardare mi palabra, no verá muerte para siempre.
52 The Jews said to him, “Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham and the prophets died; but you say, 'If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste death.'
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 You are not greater than our father Abraham who died, are you? The prophets also died. Who do you make yourself out to be?”
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 glorifies me—about 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 You have not known him, but I know him. If I would say, 'I do not know him,' I would be like you, a liar. However, I know him and 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 rejoiced at seeing my day; he saw it and was glad.”
56 Abraham vuestro padre se gozó por ver mi día; y lo vió, y se gozó.
57 The Jews 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 was, I AM.”
58 Díjoles Jesús: De cierto, de cierto os digo: Antes que Abraham fuese, yo soy.
59 Then they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple.
59 Tomaron entonces piedras para tirarle: mas Jesús se encubrió, y salió del templo; y atravesando por medio de ellos, se fué.

- 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 …
