The Gospel according to Saint John, chapter 8, Vulgate and King James Version

Chapter 8 Vulgate

   1 Iesus autem perrexit in montem Oliveti.
   2 Diluculo autem iterum venit in templum, et omnis populus veniebat ad eum, et sedens docebat eos.
   3 Adducunt autem scribae et pharisaei mulierem in adulterio deprehensam et statuerunt eam in medio
   4 et dicunt ei: "Magister, haec mulier manifesto deprehensa est in adulterio.
   5 In lege autem Moyses mandavit nobis huiusmodi lapidare; tu ergo quid dicis?".
   6 Hoc autem dicebant tentantes eum, ut possent accusare eum. Iesus autem inclinans se deorsum digito scribebat in terra.
   7 Cum autem perseverarent interrogantes eum, erexit se et dixit eis: "Qui sine peccato est vestrum, primus in illam lapidem mittat";
   8 et iterum se inclinans scribebat in terra.
   9 Audientes autem unus post unum exibant, incipientes a senioribus, et remansit solus, et mulier in medio stans.
   10 Erigens autem se Iesus dixit ei: "Mulier, ubi sunt? Nemo te condemnavit?".
   11 Quae dixit: "Nemo, Domine". Dixit autem Iesus: "Nec ego te condemno; vade et amplius iam noli peccare".
   12 Iterum ergo locutus est eis Iesus dicens: "Ego sum lux mundi; qui sequitur me, non ambulabit in tenebris, sed habebit lucem vitae".
   13 Dixerunt ergo ei pharisaei: "Tu de teipso testimonium perhibes; testimonium tuum non est verum".
   14 Respondit Iesus et dixit eis: "Et si ego testimonium perhibeo de meipso, verum est testimonium meum, quia scio unde veni et quo vado; vos autem nescitis unde venio aut quo vado.
   15 Vos secundum carnem iudicatis, ego non iudico quemquam.
   16 Et si iudico ego, iudicium meum verum est, quia solus non sum, sed ego et, qui me misit, Pater.
   17 Sed et in lege vestra scriptum est, quia duorum hominum testimonium verum est.
   18 Ego sum, qui testimonium perhibeo de meipso, et testimonium perhibet de me, qui misit me, Pater".
   19 Dicebant ergo ei: "Ubi est Pater tuus?". Respondit Iesus: "Neque me scitis neque Patrem meum; si me sciretis, forsitan et Patrem meum sciretis".
   20 Haec verba locutus est in gazophylacio docens in templo; et nemo apprehendit eum, quia necdum venerat hora eius.
   21 Dixit ergo iterum eis: "Ego vado, et quaeretis me et in peccato vestro moriemini! Quo ego vado, vos non potestis venire".
   22 Dicebant ergo Iudaei: "Numquid interficiet semetipsum, quia dicit: "Quo ego vado, vos non potestis venire"?".
   23 Et dicebat eis: "Vos de deorsum estis, ego de supernis sum; vos de mundo hoc estis, ego non sum de hoc mundo.
   24 Dixi ergo vobis quia moriemini in peccatis vestris; si enim non credideritis quia ego sum, moriemini in peccatis vestris".
   25 Dicebant ergo ei: "Tu quis es?". Dixit eis Iesus: "In principio: id quod et loquor vobis!
   26 Multa habeo de vobis loqui et iudicare; sed, qui misit me, verax est, et ego, quae audivi ab eo, haec loquor ad mundum".
   27 Non cognoverunt quia Patrem eis dicebat.
   28 Dixit ergo eis Iesus: "Cum exaltaveritis Filium hominis, tunc cognoscetis quia ego sum et a meipso facio nihil, sed, sicut docuit me Pater, haec loquor.
   29 Et qui me misit, mecum est; non reliquit me solum, quia ego, quae placita sunt ei, facio semper".
   30 Haec illo loquente, multi crediderunt in eum.
   31 Dicebat ergo Iesus ad eos, qui crediderunt ei, Iudaeos: "Si vos manseritis in sermone meo, vere discipuli mei estis
   32 et cognoscetis veritatem, et veritas liberabit vos".
   33 Responderunt ei: "Semen Abrahae sumus et nemini servivimus umquam! Quomodo tu dicis: "Liberi fietis"?".
   34 Respondit eis Iesus: "Amen, amen dico vobis: Omnis, qui facit peccatum, servus est peccati.
   35 Servus autem non manet in domo in aeternum; filius manet in aeternum.
   36 Si ergo Filius vos liberaverit, vere liberi eritis.
   37 Scio quia semen Abrahae estis; sed quaeritis me interficere, quia sermo meus non capit in vobis.
   38 Ego, quae vidi apud Patrem, loquor; et vos ergo, quae audivistis a patre, facitis".
   39 Responderunt et dixerunt ei: "Pater noster Abraham est". Dicit eis Iesus: "Si filii Abrahae essetis, opera Abrahae faceretis.
   40 Nunc autem quaeritis me interficere, hominem, qui veritatem vobis locutus sum, quam audivi a Deo; hoc Abraham non fecit.
   41 Vos facitis opera patris vestri". Dixerunt itaque ei: "Nos ex fornicatione non sumus nati; unum patrem habemus Deum!".
   42 Dixit eis Iesus: "Si Deus pater vester esset, diligeretis me; ego enim ex Deo processi et veni; neque enim a meipso veni, sed ille me misit.
   43 Quare loquelam meam non cognoscitis? Quia non potestis audire sermonem meum.
   44 Vos ex patre Diabolo estis et desideria patris vestri vultis facere. Ille homicida erat ab initio et in veritate non stabat, quia non est veritas in eo. Cum loquitur mendacium, ex propriis loquitur, quia mendax est et pater eius.
   45 Ego autem quia veritatem dico, non creditis mihi.
   46 Quis ex vobis arguit me de peccato? Si veritatem dico, quare vos non creditis mihi?
   47 Qui est ex Deo, verba Dei audit; propterea vos non auditis, quia ex Deo non estis".
   48 Responderunt Iudaei et dixerunt ei: "Nonne bene dicimus nos, quia Samaritanus es tu et daemonium habes?".
   49 Respondit Iesus: "Ego daemonium non habeo, sed honorifico Patrem meum, et vos inhonoratis me.
   50 Ego autem non quaero gloriam meam; est qui quaerit et iudicat.
   51 Amen, amen dico vobis: Si quis sermonem meum servaverit, mortem non videbit in aeternum".
   52 Dixerunt ergo ei Iudaei: "Nunc cognovimus quia daemonium habes. Abraham mortuus est et prophetae, et tu dicis: "Si quis sermonem meum servaverit, non gustabit mortem in aeternum".
   53 Numquid tu maior es patre nostro Abraham, qui mortuus est? Et prophetae mortui sunt! Quem teipsum facis?".
   54 Respondit Iesus: "Si ego glorifico meipsum, gloria mea nihil est; est Pater meus, qui glorificat me, quem vos dicitis: "Deus noster est!",
   55 et non cognovistis eum. Ego autem novi eum. Et si dixero: Non scio eum, ero similis vobis, mendax; sed scio eum et sermonem eius servo.
   56 Abraham pater vester exsultavit, ut videret diem meum; et vidit et gavisus est".
   57 Dixerunt ergo Iudaei ad eum: "Quinquaginta annos nondum habes et Abraham vidisti?".
   58 Dixit eis Iesus: "Amen, amen dico vobis: Antequam Abraham fieret, ego sum".
   59 Tulerunt ergo lapides, ut iacerent in eum; Iesus autem abscondit se et exivit de templo.

King James Version

   1 Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.
   2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.
   3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
   4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
   5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
   6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
   7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
   8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
   9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
   10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
   11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
   12 ¶ Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
   13 The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true.
   14 Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go.
   15 Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.
   16 And yet if I judge, my judgment 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 testimony of two men is true.
   18 I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.
   19 Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.
   20 These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.
   21 Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.
   22 Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.
   23 And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
   24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
   25 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.
   26 I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.
   27 They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.
   28 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.
   29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.
   30 As he spake these words, many believed on him.
   31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
   32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
   33 ¶ They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
   34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
   35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.
   36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
   37 I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
   38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.
   39 They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
   40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
   41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
   42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
   43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.
   44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
   45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
   46 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?
   47 He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
   48 Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?
   49 Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me.
   50 And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
   51 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.
   52 Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.
   53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?
   54 Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:
   55 Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.
   56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
   57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
   58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
   59 Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
