• 1 Iesus went vnto þe Mount of Oliues:
• 2 And earely in the morning hee came againe into the Temple, and all the people came vnto him, and he sate downe, and taught them.
• 3 And the Scribes and Pharisees brought vnto him a woman taken in adultery, and when they had set her in the mids,
• 4 They say vnto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
• 5 Now Moses in the Law commanded vs, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
• 6 This they said, tempting him, that they might haue to accuse him. But Iesus stouped downe, and with his finger wrote on the ground as though he heard them not.
• 7 So when they continued asking him, hee lift vp himselfe, and saide vnto them, Hee that is without sinne among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
• 8 And againe, hee stouped downe, and wrote on the ground.
• 9 And they which heard it, being conuicted by their owne conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, euen vnto the last: and Iesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
• 10 When Iesus had lift vp himselfe, and saw none but the woman, hee said vnto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? Hath no man condemned thee?
• 11 She saide, No man, Lord. And Iesus saide vnto her, Neither doe I condemne thee: Goe, and sinne no more.
• 12 ¶ Then spake Iesus againe vnto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth mee, shall not walke in darkenesse, but shall haue the light of life.
• 13 The Pharisees therefore said vnto him, Thou bearest record of thy selfe, thy record is not true.
• 14 Iesus answered, and said vnto them, Though I beare record of my selfe, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I goe: but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I goe.
• 15 Yee iudge after the flesh, I iudge no man.
• 16 And yet if I iudge, my iudgement is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
• 17 It is also written in your Law, that the testimonie of two men is true.
• 18 I am one that beare witnesse of my selfe, and the Father that sent mee, beareth witnesse of me.
• 19 Then said they vnto him, Where is thy Father? Iesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had knowen mee, yee should haue knowen my Father also.
• 20 These words spake Iesus in the treasury, as hee taught in the Temple: and no man layd hands on him, for his houre was not yet come.
• 21 Then saide Iesus againe vnto them, I goe my way, and ye shall seeke me, & shall die in your sinnes: Whither I goe, ye cannot come.
• 22 Then said the Iewes, Will hee kill himselfe? because he saith, Whither I goe, ye cannot come.
• 23 And hee said vnto them, Yee are from beneath, I am from aboue: Yee are of this world, I am not of this world.
• 24 I said therefore vnto you, that ye shall die in your sinnes. For if yee beleeue not that I am hee, yee shall die in your sinnes.
• 25 Then said they vnto him, Who art thou? And Iesus saith vnto them, Euen the same that I saide vnto you from the beginning.
• 26 I haue many things to say, and to iudge of you: But hee that sent mee is true, and I speake to the world, those things which I haue heard of him.
• 27 They vnderstood not that hee spake to them of the Father.
• 28 Then saide Iesus vnto them, When yee haue lift vp the Sonne of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I doe nothing of my selfe: but as my Father hath taught mee, I speake these things.
• 29 And he that sent me, is with me: the Father hath not left mee alone: for I doe alwayes those things that please him.
• 30 As hee spake those words, many beleeued on him.
• 31 Then said Iesus to those Iewes which beleeued on him, If ye continue in my word, then are yee my disciples indeed.
• 32 And ye shall know the Trueth, and the Trueth shall make you free.
• 33 ¶ They answered him, We be Abraham seed, and were neuer in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Yee shall be made free?
• 34 Iesus answered them, Uerily, verily I say vnto you, Whosoeuer committeth sinne, is the seruant of sinne.
• 35 And the seruant abideth not in the house for euer: but the Sonne abideth euer.
• 36 If the Sonne therfore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
• 37 I know that yee are Abrahams seed, but ye seeke to kill mee, because my word hath no place in you.
• 38 I speake that which I haue seene with my Father: and ye do that which ye haue seene with your father.
• 39 They answered, and said vnto him, Abraham is our father. Iesus sayth vnto them, If yee were Abrahams children, ye would doe the works of Abraham.
• 40 But now yee seeke to kill me, a man that hath tolde you the trueth, which I haue heard of God: this did not Abraham.
• 41 Ye doe the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not borne of fornication, wee haue one Father, euen God.
• 42 Iesus said vnto them, If God were your Father, yee would loue me, for I proceeded foorth, and came from God: neither came I of my selfe, but he sent me.
• 43 Why doe yee not vnderstand my speech? euen because yee cannot heare my word.
• 44 Ye are of your father the deuill, and the lusts of your father ye will doe: hee was a murtherer from the beginning, and abode not in the trueth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his owne: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
• 45 And because I tell you the truth, ye beleeue me not.
• 46 Which of you conuinceth mee of sinne? And if I say the trueth, why doe ye not beleeue me?
• 47 He that is of God, heareth Gods words: ye therefore heare them not, because ye are not of God.
• 48 Then answered the Iewes, and said vnto him, Say wee not well that thou art a Samaritane, & hast a deuill?
• 49 Iesus answered, I haue not a deuill: but I honour my Father, and ye doe dishonour me.
• 50 And I seeke not mine owne glory, there is one that seeketh & iudgeth.
• 51 Uerely, verely I say vnto you, If a man keepe my saying, hee shall neuer see death.
• 52 Then said the Iewes vnto him, Now we know that thou hast a deuill. Abraham is dead, and the Prophets: and thou sayest, If a man keepe my saying, he shall neuer taste of death.
• 53 Art thou greater then our father Abraham, which is dead? and the Prophets are dead: whom makest thou thy selfe?
• 54 Iesus answered, If I honour myselfe, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me, of whom ye say, that he is your God:
• 55 Yet ye haue not knowen him, but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shalbe a lyar like vnto you: but I know him, and keepe his saying.
• 56 Your father Abraham reioyced to see my day: and he saw it, & was glad.
• 57 Then said the Iewes vnto him, Thou art not yet fiftie yeeres olde, and hast thou seene Abraham?
• 58 Iesus said vnto them, Uerely, verely I say vnto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
• 59 Then tooke they vp stones to cast at him: but Iesus hidde himselfe, and went out of the Temple, going thorow the midst of them, and so passed by.
