John 8:14-36 in English

¹⁴ Jesus answered and said unto them, Even if I bear witness of myself, my witness is true; for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye know not whence I come, or whither I go.

¹⁵ Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.

¹⁶ Yea and if I judge, my judgment is true; for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.

¹⁷ Yea and in your law it is written, that the witness of two men is true.

¹⁸ I am he that beareth witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.

¹⁹ They said therefore unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye know neither me, nor my Father: if ye knew me, ye would know my Father also.

²⁰ These words spake he in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man took him; because his hour was not yet come.

²¹ He said therefore again unto them, I go away, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sin: whither I go, ye cannot come.

²² The Jews therefore said, Will he kill himself, that 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 except ye believe that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.

²⁵ They said therefore unto him, Who art thou? Jesus said unto them, Even that which I have also spoken unto you from the beginning.

²⁶ I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you: howbeit he that sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these speak I unto the world.

²⁷ They perceived not that he spake to them of the Father.

²⁸ Jesus therefore said, 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 the Father taught me, I speak these things.

²⁹ And he that sent me is with me; he hath not left me alone; for I do always the things that are pleasing to him.

³⁰ As he spake these things, many believed on him.

³¹ Jesus therefore said to those Jews that had believed him, If ye abide in my word, then are ye truly my disciples;

³² and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

³³ They answered unto him, We are Abraham’s seed, and have never yet been in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?

³⁴ Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Every one that committeth sin is the bondservant of sin.

³⁵ And the bondservant abideth not in the house for ever: the son abideth for ever.

³⁶ If therefore the Son shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

¹⁴ Jesus answered, “Even if I testify on my own behalf, my testimony is valid because I know where I came from and where I am going, but you don’t know where I come from or where I am going.

¹⁵ You judge by human standards, but I am not judging anyone.

¹⁶ Even if I do judge, my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.

¹⁷ It’s also written in your Law that the testimony of two men is valid.

¹⁸ I am one who bears witness of myself, and my Father who sent me bears witness of me.”

¹⁹ Then they asked 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, too.”

²⁰ Jesus spoke these words in the treasury, as He taught in the temple. Nobody laid hands on Him, for His time had not yet come.

²¹ Jesus told them again, “I am going away, and you will look for me, and you will die in your sin. Where I am going, you can’t come.”

²² Therefore the Jews were saying, “Surely He won’t kill Himself, will He, since He says, ‘Where I am going, you can’t come’?”

²³ Jesus was saying to them, “You are from below. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world.

²⁴ Therefore I told you that you will die in your sins, because if you don’t believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.”

²⁵ Then they asked Him, “Who are You?” Jesus told them, “Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.

²⁶ I have many things to say and judge about you, but He who sent me is true, and I speak to the world those things which I heard from Him.”

²⁷ They didn’t realize that He had been speaking to them about the Father.

²⁸ So, Jesus said, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing on my own, but I speak these things as the Father taught me.

²⁹ He who sent me is with me. He hasn’t left me alone, because I always do the things that are pleasing to Him.”

³⁰ As Jesus spoke, many came to believe in Him.

³¹ Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you continue in my words, you are truly my disciples,

³² and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

³³ They answered Him, “We are Abraham’s descendants, and have never been slaves to anyone. How can you say that we’ll be set free?”

³⁴ Jesus answered them, “Most assuredly, I tell you, whoever sins is a slave of sin.

³⁵ A slave doesn’t remain in the house forever, but a son does belong forever.

³⁶ Therefore if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

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.

¹⁴ Jesus answered and said unto them, Even if I bear witness of myself, my witness is true; for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye know not whence I come, or whither I go.

¹⁵ Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.

¹⁶ Yea and if I judge, my judgment is true; for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.

¹⁷ Yea and in your law it is written, that the witness of two men is true.

¹⁸ I am he that beareth witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.

¹⁹ They said therefore unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye know neither me, nor my Father: if ye knew me, ye would know my Father also.

²⁰ These words spake he in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man took him; because his hour was not yet come.

²¹ He said therefore again unto them, I go away, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sin: whither I go, ye cannot come.

²² The Jews therefore said, Will he kill himself, that 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 except ye believe that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.

²⁵ They said therefore unto him, Who art thou? Jesus said unto them, Even that which I have also spoken unto you from the beginning.

²⁶ I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you: howbeit he that sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these speak I unto the world.

²⁷ They perceived not that he spake to them of the Father.

²⁸ Jesus therefore said, 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 the Father taught me, I speak these things.

²⁹ And he that sent me is with me; he hath not left me alone; for I do always the things that are pleasing to him.

³⁰ As he spake these things, many believed on him.

³¹ Jesus therefore said to those Jews which had believed him, If ye abide in my word, then are ye truly my disciples;

³² and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

³³ They answered unto him, We be Abraham’s seed, and have never yet been in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?

³⁴ Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Every one that committeth sin is the bondservant of sin.

³⁵ And the bondservant abideth not in the house for ever: the son abideth for ever.

³⁶ If therefore the Son shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

¹⁴ Jesus replied, “Even if I were the only one to say these things about myself, what I say is true, because I know that I came from heaven, and I know that I am going back to heaven. But you do not know where I came from or where I am going.

¹⁵ You judge people according to human standards. The reason that I am here is not ◄to condemn people/to say that I will punish people► for their sins.

¹⁶ But if I did judge people, what I decided would be correct, because I am not the only one who will decide those things. I and the one who sent me will both decide.

¹⁷ It is written { Moses wrote} in your law that if at least two people testify that some event has happened, people should consider that what they say is true.

¹⁸ I am telling you about myself, and the other one who is telling you about me is my Father who sent me. So you should believe that what we declare is true.”

¹⁹ Then they asked him, “ If you have a father whom we can question about you, where is he?” Jesus replied, “You do not know who I really am. If you knew who I really am, you would know who my Father is also.”

²⁰ He said these things when he was in the Temple courtyard, near the place where the people put their offerings. This was also very close to the place where the Jewish council met. But no one seized him to arrest him, because it was not yet time MTY for him to suffer and die.

²¹ Jesus also said to them, “I will soon be going away. Then at the end of your life you will seek me, but you will die without God forgiving your sins. Where I will go, you will not be able to come.”

²² So the Jewish leaders said among themselves, “Is he going to kill himself? Is that the reason that he said, ‘Where I go, you will not be able to come’?”

²³ But Jesus continued by saying to them, “You were born here in this world, but I came from heaven. You belong to those who are opposed to God MTY. I do not belong to them.

²⁴ I told you that you will die without God forgiving your sins. If you do not believe that I am who I say that I am, you will die without God forgiving your sins.”

²⁵ So they said to him, “You! Who do you think you are?” Jesus said to them, “Ever since I began teaching, I have been telling you who I am!

²⁶ I could judge you and say that you are guilty of many things. But instead, I will say only what the one who sent me tells me to say. What he says is true, and I tell the people in the world MTY what I have heard from him.”

²⁷ They did not understand that he was talking about his Father in heaven.

²⁸ So Jesus said, “I am the one who came down from heaven, but when you lift me up on a cross to kill me, you will know who I am. You will also know that I do not do anything with my own authority. Instead, I say just what my Father has taught me.

²⁹ He is the one who sent me, and he helps me. Because I always do the things that please him, he has never abandoned me.”

³⁰ As Jesus was saying these things, many people believed that he was ◄ from God/the Messiah►.

³¹ Then Jesus said to the Jews who now said they believed in him, “If you continue to live in accordance with my message, you will truly be my disciples.

³² Then you will know God's truth, and as a result of your believing his truth, he PRS will free you from being controlled by the one who has made you his slaves.”

³³ They replied to him, “We are descendants of Abraham. We have never been anyone's slaves. So why do you say we will be freed from being someone's slaves?”

³⁴ Jesus replied, “Listen carefully to what I am going to tell you. All those who continue to sin are forced to obey their sinful desires MET, just like a slave is forced to obey his master.

³⁵ A slave is not a permanent member of a family. But a son is a member of a family forever. Similarly, you say you are members of God's family because you are descendants of Abraham, but really, because you are like slaves of your sinful desires, you are no longer permanent members of God's family.

³⁶ So if you allow me to free you, you will truly be free.

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 You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.

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 It’s also written in your law that the testimony of two people is valid.

¹⁸ I am one who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me.”

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 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 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 The Jews therefore said, “Will he kill himself, because he says, ‘Where I am going, you can’t come’?”

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 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 They said therefore to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them, “Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.

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 They didn’t understand that he spoke to them about the Father.

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 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 As he spoke these things, many believed in him.

³¹ Jesus therefore said to those Jews who had believed him, “If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.

³² You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”

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 Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the bondservant of sin.

³⁵ A bondservant doesn’t live in the house forever. A son remains forever.

³⁶ If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.

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 You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.

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 It’s also written in your law that the testimony of two people is valid.

¹⁸ I am one who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me.”

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 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 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 The Jews therefore said, “Will he kill himself, because he says, ‘Where I am going, you can’t come’?”

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 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 They said therefore to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them, “Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.

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 They didn’t understand that he spoke to them about the Father.

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 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 As he spoke these things, many believed in him.

³¹ Jesus therefore said to those Jews who had believed him, “If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.

³² You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”

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 Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the bondservant of sin.

³⁵ A bondservant doesn’t live in the house forever. A son remains forever.

³⁶ If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.

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 You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.

¹⁶ Even if I do judge, my judgement is true, for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.

¹⁷ It’s also written in your law that the testimony of two people is valid.

¹⁸ I am one who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me.”

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 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 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 The Jews therefore said, “Will he kill himself, because he says, ‘Where I am going, you can’t come’?”

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 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 They said therefore to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them, “Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.

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 They didn’t understand that he spoke to them about the Father.

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 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 As he spoke these things, many believed in him.

³¹ Jesus therefore said to those Jews who had believed him, “If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.

³² You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”

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 Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the bondservant of sin.

³⁵ A bondservant doesn’t live in the house forever. A son remains forever.

³⁶ If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.

¹⁴ Jesus said in answer, Even if I give witness about myself, my witness is true, because I have knowledge of where I came from and where I am going; but you have no knowledge of where I come from or of where I am going.

¹⁵ You are judging from what you see; I am judging no man.

¹⁶ Even if I am judging, my decision is right, because I am not by myself — with me is the Father who sent me.

¹⁷ Even in your law it is said that the witness of two men is true.

¹⁸ I give witness about myself and the Father who sent me gives witness about me.

¹⁹ Then they said to him, Where is your Father? Jesus said in answer, You have no knowledge of me or of my Father: if you had knowledge of me you would have knowledge of my Father.

²⁰ Jesus said these words in the place where the offerings were stored, while he was teaching in the Temple: but no man took him because his time was still to come.

²¹ Then he said to them again, I am going away and you will be looking for me, but death will overtake you in your sins. It is not possible for you to come where I am going.

²² So the Jews said, Will he take his life? Is that why he says, Where I go it is not possible for you to come?

²³ And he said to them, You are of the earth; I am from heaven: you are of this world; I am not of this world.

²⁴ For this reason I said to you that death will overtake you in your sins: for if you have not faith that I am he, death will come to you while you are in your sins.

²⁵ Then they said to him, Who are you? Jesus said, What I said to you from the first.

²⁶ I have much to say about you and against you: but he who sent me is true and what he has said to me I say to the world.

²⁷ They did not see that his words were about the Father.

²⁸ So Jesus said, When the Son of man has been lifted up by you, then it will be clear to you who I am, and that I do nothing of myself, but say as the Father gave me teaching.

²⁹ He who sent me is with me; he has not gone from me, because at all times I do the things which are pleasing to him.

³⁰ When he said this a number came to have faith in him.

³¹ Then Jesus said to the Jews who had faith in him, If you keep my word, then you are truly my disciples;

³² And you will have knowledge of what is true, and that will make you free.

³³ They said to him in answer, We are Abraham's seed and have never been any man's servant: why do you say, You will become free?

³⁴ And this was the answer Jesus gave them: Truly I say to you, Everyone who does evil is the servant of sin.

³⁵ Now the servant does not go on living in the house for ever, but the son does.

³⁶ If then the son makes you free, you will be truly free.

¹⁴ Jesus answered and said to them, Even if I bear witness concerning myself, my witness is true, because I know whence I came and whither I go: but ye know not whence I come and whither I go.

¹⁵ Ye judge according to the flesh, I judge no one.

¹⁶ And if also I judge, my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who has sent me.

¹⁷ And in your law too it is written that the testimony of two men is true:

¹⁸ I am one who bear witness concerning myself, and the Father who has sent me bears witness concerning me.

¹⁹ They said to him therefore, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye know neither me nor my Father. If ye had known me, ye would have known also my Father.

²⁰ These words spoke he in the treasury, teaching in the temple; and no one took him, for his hour was not yet come.

²¹ He said therefore again to them, I go away, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sin; where I go ye cannot come.

²² The Jews therefore said, Will he kill himself, that he says, Where I go ye cannot come?

²³ And he said to them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above. Ye are of this world; I am not of this world.

²⁴ I said therefore to you, that ye shall die in your sins; for unless ye shall believe that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.

²⁵ They said therefore to him, Who art thou? And Jesus said to them, Altogether that which I also say to you.

²⁶ I have many things to say and to judge concerning you, but he that has sent me is true, and I, what I have heard from him, these things I say to the world.

²⁷ They knew not that he spoke to them of the Father.

²⁸ Jesus therefore said to them, When ye shall have lifted up the Son of man, then ye shall know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself, but as the Father has taught me I speak these things.

²⁹ And he that has sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, because I do always the things that are pleasing to him.

³⁰ As he spoke these things many believed on him.

³¹ Jesus therefore said to the Jews who believed him, If ye abide in my word, ye are truly my disciples;

³² and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.

³³ They answered him, We are Abraham's seed, and have never been under bondage to any one; how sayest thou, Ye shall become free?

³⁴ Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say to you, Every one that practises sin is the bondman of sin.

³⁵ Now the bondman abides not in the house for ever: the son abides for ever.

³⁶ If therefore the Son shall set you free, ye shall be really free.

¹⁴ Jesus answered, and said to them: Although I give testimony of myself, my testimony is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go: but you know not whence I come, or whither I go.

¹⁵ You judge according to the flesh: I judge not any man.

¹⁶ And if I do judge, my judgment is true: because I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.

¹⁷ And in your law it is written, that the testimony of two men is true.

¹⁸ I am one that give testimony of myself: and the Father that sent me giveth testimony of me.

¹⁹ They said therefore to him: Where is thy Father? Jesus answered: Neither me do you know, nor my Father: if you did know me, perhaps you would know my Father also.

²⁰ These words Jesus spoke in the treasury, teaching in the temple: and no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.

²¹ Again therefore Jesus said to them: I go, and you shall seek me, and you shall die in your sin. Whither I go, you cannot come.

²² The Jews therefore said: Will he kill himself, because he said: Whither I go, you cannot come?

²³ And he said to them: You are from beneath, I am from above. You are of this world, I am not of this world.

²⁴ Therefore I said to you, that you shall die in your sins. For if you believe not that I am he, you shall die in your sin.

²⁵ They said therefore to him: Who art thou? Jesus said to them: The beginning, who also speak unto you.

²⁶ Many things I have to speak and to judge of you. But he that sent me, is true: and the things I have heard of him, these same I speak in the world.

²⁷ And they understood not, that he called God his Father.

²⁸ Jesus therefore said to them: When you shall have lifted up the Son of man, then shall you know, that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself, but as the Father hath taught me, these things I speak:

²⁹ And he that sent me, is with me, and he hath not left me alone: for I do always the things that please him.

³⁰ When he spoke these things, many believed in him.

³¹ Then Jesus said to those Jews, who believed him: If you continue in my word, you shall be my disciples indeed.

³² And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

³³ They answered him: We are the seed of Abraham, and we have never been slaves to any man: how sayest thou: you shall be free?

³⁴ Jesus answered them: Amen, amen I say unto you: that whosoever committeth sin, is the servant of sin.

³⁵ Now the servant abideth not in the house for ever; but the son abideth for ever.

³⁶ If therefore the son shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.

¹⁴ Jesus answered and said to them, “Even if I should testify about Myself, My testimony is true, because I know where I came from and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from or where I am going.

¹⁵ You judge according to the flesh; I judge no one.

¹⁶ But even if I do judge, My judgment is true; because I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent Me.

¹⁷ It is also written in your law that the testimony of two men is true.

¹⁸ I am the One testifying about Myself, and the Father who sent Me testifies about Me.”

¹⁹ Then they said to Him, “Where is Your Father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither Me nor My Father. If you knew Me, you would also know My Father.”

²⁰ These words Jesus spoke in the treasury, while teaching in the temple; and no one seized Him, for His time had not yet come.

²¹ Then Jesus said to them again, “I am going away, and you will seek Me, and will die in your sin. Where I go you cannot come.”

²² So the Jews said, “Surely He will not kill Himself, will He, since He says, ‘Where I am going you cannot come’?”

²³ And He said to them, “You are from below; I am from above. You are from this world; I am not from this world.

²⁴ Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I AM, you will die in your sins.”

²⁵ Then they said to Him, “Who are You?” And Jesus said to them, “Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.

²⁶ I have many things to say and to judge concerning you, but He who sent Me is true; and the things which I heard from Him, these things I say to the world.”

²⁷ They did not know that He was speaking to them about the Father.

²⁸ Therefore Jesus said to them, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I AM, and from Myself I do nothing; but just as My Father taught Me, these things I speak.

²⁹ And He who sent Me is with Me. The Father has not left Me alone, because I always do the things that are pleasing to Him.”

³⁰ While He spoke these words, many believed in Him.

³¹ Then Jesus said to those Jews who had believed Him, “If you abide in My word, truly you are My disciples.

³² And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.”

³³ They answered Him, “We are Abraham's descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can you say, ‘You will become free’?”

³⁴ Jesus answered them, “Most assuredly I say to you, that everyone that practices sin is a slave of sin.

³⁵ And a slave does not remain in the house forever, but a son remains forever.

³⁶ Therefore if the Son sets you free, you will be truly free.

¹⁴ Jesus answered and said to them: “Even though I testify about myself, my testimony is valid, because I know where I came from and where I am going. But you do not know where I come from or where I am going.

¹⁵ You are judging according to the flesh; I am not judging anyone.

¹⁶ Yet even if I do judge, my judging is valid, in that I am not alone in judging, but I and the Father who sent me are together.

¹⁷ It is written precisely in your law that the testimony of two men is valid:

¹⁸ I am one testifying concerning myself and the Father who sent me testifies concerning me.”

¹⁹ Then they said to Him, “Where is your father?” Jesus answered: “You know neither me nor my Father. If you knew me you would also know my Father.”

²⁰ Jesus spoke these words in the treasury, while teaching in the temple; yet no one arrested Him, because His time had not yet come.

²¹ Then Jesus said to them again: “I am going away, and you will look for me, and you will die in your sin. Where I am going you cannot come.”

²² So the Jews said, “He won't kill himself, will he, since he says, ‘Where I am going you cannot come’?”

²³ He said to them: “You are from below; I am from Above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.

²⁴ That is why I told you that you will die in your sins, because if you do not believe that I am, you will die in your sins.”

²⁵ So they said to Him, “Who are you?” And Jesus said to them: “Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.

²⁶ I have many things to say and to judge about you, but He who sent me is true, and what I myself have heard from Him—these things I say to the world.”

²⁷ They did not understand that He was speaking to them about the Father.

²⁸ Then Jesus said to them: “When you lift up the Son of the Man, then you will know that I am and that I do nothing from myself; but just as my Father has taught me, these things I speak.

²⁹ And the One who sent me is with me. The Father has not left me alone, because I always do the things that please Him.”

³⁰ While He was saying these things many believed into Him.

³¹ So Jesus said to those Jews who had believed Him: “If you abide in my word, you really are my disciples;

³² and you will know the Truth, and the Truth will make you free.”

³³ They answered and said to Him: “We are descendants of Abraham and have never been enslaved to anyone. How can you say, ‘You will be made free’?”

³⁴ Jesus answered them: “I tell you most assuredly that everyone committing sin is a slave of sin.

³⁵ Now the slave does not remain in the household forever; the son does remain forever.

³⁶ Therefore, if the Son should make you free, you really will be free.

¹⁴ “Even if I am my own witness, my testimony is true,” Jesus told them, “for I know where I came from and where I'm going. But you don't know where I came from or where I'm going.

¹⁵ You judge in a typically human way, but I don't judge anyone.

¹⁶ Even if I did judge, my judgment would be right because I am not doing this alone. The Father who sent me is with me.

¹⁷ Your own law states that the testimony of two witnesses is valid.

¹⁸ I am my own witness, and my other witness is my Father who sent me.”

¹⁹ “Where is your father?” they asked him. “You don't know me or my Father,” Jesus replied. “If you knew me then you would know my Father as well.”

²⁰ Jesus explained this while he was teaching near the Temple treasury. Yet no one arrested him because his time had not yet come.

²¹ Jesus told them again, “I'm leaving, and you'll search for me, but you'll die in your sin. You can't come where I'm going.”

²² The Jews wondered out loud, “Is he going to kill himself? Is that what he means when he says ‘You can't come where I'm going’?”

²³ Jesus told them, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.

²⁴ That is why I told you that you'll die in your sins. For if you don't trust in me, the ‘I am,’ you'll die in your sins.”

²⁵ Then they asked him, “Who are you?” “Exactly who I told you I was from the beginning,” Jesus replied.

²⁶ “There's much I could say about you, and much I could condemn. But the one who sent me tells the truth, and what I'm saying to you here in this world is what I heard from him.”

²⁷ They didn't understand that he was talking to them about the Father. So Jesus explained to them:

²⁸ “When you have lifted up the Son of man then you'll know that I am the ‘I am,’ and that I do nothing of myself, but only say what the Father taught me.

²⁹ The one who sent me is with me; he has not abandoned me, for I always do what pleases him.”

³⁰ Many who heard Jesus say these things put their trust in him.

³¹ Then Jesus said to those Jews who trusted in him, “If you follow my teaching then you really are my disciples.

³² You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

³³ “We're descendants of Abraham! We've never been slaves to anyone,” they answered. “How can you say that we'll be set free?”

³⁴ Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a slave of sin.

³⁵ A slave doesn't have a permanent place in the family, but the son is part of the family forever.

³⁶ If the Son sets you free, then you're truly free.

¹⁴ Iesus answered, and sayde vnto them, Though I beare recorde of my selfe, yet my recorde is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go: but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I goe.

¹⁵ Ye iudge after the flesh: I iudge no man.

¹⁶ And if I also iudge, my iudgement is true: for I am not alone, but I, and the Father, that sent mee.

¹⁷ And it is also written in your Lawe, that the testimonie of two men is true.

¹⁸ I am one that beare witnes of my selfe, and the Father that sent me, beareth witnes of me.

¹⁹ Then saide they vnto him, Where is that Father of thine? Iesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor that Father of mine. If ye had knowen me, ye should haue knowen that Father of mine also.

²⁰ These wordes spake Iesus in the treasurie, as hee taught in the Temple, and no man layde handes 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, and shall die in your sinnes, Whither I goe, can ye not come.

²² Then said the Iewes, Will he kill himselfe, because he saith, Whither I goe, can ye not come?

²³ And hee saide vnto them, Ye are from beneath, I am from aboue: ye are of this world, I am not of this worlde.

²⁴ I said therefore vnto you, That ye shall die in your sinnes: for except ye beleeue, that I am he, ye shall die in your sinnes.

²⁵ Then saide they vnto him, Who art thou? And Iesus saide vnto them, Euen the same thing that I said vnto you from the beginning.

²⁶ I haue many things to say, and to iudge of you: but he that sent me, is true, and the things that I haue heard of him, those speake I to the world.

²⁷ They vnderstoode not that hee spake to them of the Father.

²⁸ Then said Iesus vnto them, When ye 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 me, so I speake these things.

²⁹ For he that sent me, is with me: the Father hath not left me alone, because I do alwayes those things that please him.

³⁰ As hee spake these thinges, many beleeued in him.

³¹ Then saide Iesus to the Iewes which beleeued in him, If ye continue in my worde, ye are verely my disciples,

³² And shall know the trueth, and the trueth shall make you free.

³³ They answered him, Wee be Abrahams seede, and were neuer bonde to any man: why sayest thou then, Ye shalbe made free?

³⁴ Iesus answered them, Verely, verely I say vnto you, that whosoeuer committeth sinne, is the seruant of sinne.

³⁵ And the seruant abideth not in the house for euer: but the Sonne abideth for euer.

³⁶ If that Sonne therefore shall make you free, ye shalbe free in deede.

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 lift 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.

¹⁴ Jesus answered and said to them, Though I bear witness of myself, my witness is true; for I know whence I came, and whither I go; ye know not whence I come, or whither I go.

¹⁵ Ye judge according to the flesh; I judge no one.

¹⁶ But even if I myself should judge, my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and he who sent me.

¹⁷ Moreover, it is written in your law, that the witness of two men is true.

¹⁸ I am one who bear witness of myself, and the Father who sent me beareth witness of me.

¹⁹ They said therefore to him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye know neither me, nor my Father. If ye knew me, ye would know my Father also.

²⁰ These words he spoke in the treasury, while teaching in the temple; and no one laid hands on him, because his hour had not yet come.

²¹ Again therefore he said to them, I go away, and ye will seek me, and will die in your sin. Whither I go, ye cannot come.

²² The Jews therefore said, Will he kill himself, that he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come?

²³ And he said to them, Ye are from beneath, I am from above; ye are of this world, I am not of this world.

²⁴ Therefore I said to you, that ye will die in your sins; for unless ye believe that I am He, ye will die in your sins.

²⁵ They said therefore to him, Who art thou? Jesus said to them, In the first place, I am just that which I speak to you.

²⁶ I have many things to say, and to judge, concerning you; but he who sent me is true; and I speak to the world what I heard from him.

²⁷ They understood not that he spoke to them of the Father.

²⁸ Jesus therefore said, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then ye will know that I am He, and do nothing of myself, but speak these things as the Father taught me.

²⁹ And he that sent me is with me; he hath not left me alone, for I always do the things that please him.

³⁰ As he spoke these words, many believed in him.

³¹ Jesus therefore said to those Jews who believed in him, If ye continue in my word, ye are truly my disciples;

³² and ye will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.

³³ They answered him, We are Abraham's offspring, and have never been in bondage to any one; how sayest, thou, Ye will be made free?

³⁴ Jesus answered them, Truly, truly do I say to you, Every one that committeth sin is a bond-servant of sin.

³⁵ And the bond-servant abideth not in the house for ever; the son abideth for ever.

³⁶ If therefore the Son make you free, ye will be free indeed.

¹⁴ “Even if I bear testimony to myself,” answered Jesus, “my testimony is trustworthy; for I know where I came from, and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from, nor where I am going.

¹⁵ You judge by appearances; I judge no one.

¹⁶ Yet, even if I were to judge, my judgement would be trustworthy; because I am not alone, but the Father who sent me is with me.

¹⁷ Why, in your own Law it is said that the testimony of two persons is trustworthy.

¹⁸ I, who bear testimony to myself, am one, and the Father who sent me also bears testimony to me.”

¹⁹ “Where is your father, then?” they asked. “You know neither me nor my Father,” replied Jesus. “If you had known me, you would have also known my Father.”

²⁰ These statements Jesus made in the Treasury, while teaching in the Temple Courts. Yet no one arrested him, for his time had not then come.

²¹ Jesus again spoke to the people. “I am going away,” he said, “and you will look for me, but you will die in your sin; you cannot come where I am going.”

²² “Is he going to kill himself,” the people exclaimed, “that he says — ‘You cannot go where I am going’?”

²³ “You,” added Jesus, “are from below, I am from above; you are of this present world, I am not;

²⁴ and so I told you that you would die in your sins, for, unless you believe that I am what I am, you will die in your sins.”

²⁵ “Who are you?” they asked. “Why ask exactly what I have been telling you?” said Jesus.

²⁶ “I have still much that concerns you to speak of and to pass judgement on; yet he who sent me may be trusted, and I speak to the world only of the things which I have heard from him.”

²⁷ They did not understand that he meant the Father.

²⁸ So Jesus added, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will understand that I am what I am, and that I do nothing of myself, but that I say just what the Father has taught me.

²⁹ Moreover, he who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone; for I always do what pleases him.”

³⁰ While he was speaking in this way, many came to believe in him.

³¹ So Jesus went on to say to those who had believed him, “If you remain constant to my message, you are truly my disciples;

³² and you find out the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

³³ “We are descendants of Abraham,” was their answer, “and have never yet been in slavery to anyone. What do you mean by saying ‘you will be set free’?”

³⁴ “In truth I tell you,” replied Jesus, “everyone who sins is a slave to sin.

³⁵ And a slave does not remain in the home always; but a son remains always.

³⁶ If, then, the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed!

¹⁴ “Even if I bear testimony to myself,” answered Jesus, “my testimony is trustworthy; for I know where I came from, and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from, nor where I am going.

¹⁵ You judge by appearances; I judge no one.

¹⁶ Yet, even if I were to judge, my judgment would be trustworthy; because I am not alone, but the Father who sent me is with me.

¹⁷ Why, in your own Law it is said that the testimony of two persons is trustworthy.

¹⁸ I, who bear testimony to myself, am one, and the Father who sent me also bears testimony to me.”

¹⁹ “Where is your father, then?” they asked. “You know neither me nor my Father,” replied Jesus. “If you had known me, you would have also known my Father.”

²⁰ These statements Jesus made in the Treasury, while teaching in the Temple Courts. Yet no one arrested him, for his time had not then come.

²¹ Jesus again spoke to the people. “I am going away,” he said, “and you will look for me, but you will die in your sin; you cannot come where I am going.”

²² “Is he going to kill himself,” the people exclaimed, “that he says — ‘You cannot go where I am going’?”

²³ “You,” added Jesus, “are from below, I am from above; you are of this present world, I am not;

²⁴ and so I told you that you would die in your sins, for, unless you believe that I am what I am, you will die in your sins.”

²⁵ “Who are you?” they asked. “Why ask exactly what I have been telling you?” said Jesus.

²⁶ “I have still much that concerns you to speak of and to pass judgment on; yet he who sent me may be trusted, and I speak to the world only of the things which I have heard from him.”

²⁷ They did not understand that he meant the Father.

²⁸ So Jesus added, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will understand that I am what I am, and that I do nothing of myself, but that I say just what the Father has taught me.

²⁹ Moreover, he who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone; for I always do what pleases him.”

³⁰ While he was speaking in this way, many came to believe in him.

³¹ So Jesus went on to say to those who had believed him, “If you remain constant to my message, you are truly my disciples;

³² and you find out the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

³³ “We are descendants of Abraham,” was their answer, “and have never yet been in slavery to anyone. What do you mean by saying ‘you will be set free’?”

³⁴ “In truth I tell you,” replied Jesus, “everyone who sins is a slave to sin.

³⁵ And a slave does not remain in the home always; but a son remains always.

³⁶ If, then, the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed!

¹⁴ Yeshua Salvation 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 You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.

¹⁶ Even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for I am not alone, but I am with Abba ·Father familiar, Dear Dad· who sent me.

¹⁷ It’s also written in your Torah ·Teaching· that the testimony of two people is valid.

¹⁸ Ena Na I AM (the Living God) that testifies about myself, and Abba ·Father familiar, Dear Dad· who sent me testifies about me.”

¹⁹ They said therefore to him, “Where is your Abba Father?” Yeshua Salvation answered, “You know neither me, nor 'Avi ·my Father·. If you knew me, you would know 'Avi ·my Father· also.”

²⁰ Yeshua Salvation 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 Yeshua Salvation 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 The Jews Praisers therefore said, “Will he kill himself, that he says, ‘Where I am going, you can’t come’?”

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 I said therefore to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that Ena Na I AM (the Living God), you will die in your sins.”

²⁵ They said therefore to him, “Who are you?” Yeshua Salvation said to them, “Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.

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 They didn’t understand that he spoke to them about haAbba ·the Father·.

²⁸ Yeshua Salvation therefore said to them, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that Ena Na I AM (the Living God), and I do nothing of myself, but as 'Avi ·my Father· taught me, I say these things.

²⁹ He who sent me is with me. Abba ·Father familiar, Dear Dad· has not left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him.”

³⁰ As he spoke these things, many believed in him.

³¹ Yeshua Salvation therefore said to those Jews Praisers who had believed him, “If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.

³² You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”

³³ They answered him, “We are Abraham Father of a multitude’s offspring, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How do you say, ‘You will be made free’?”

³⁴ Yeshua Salvation answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the bond-servant of sin.

³⁵ A bond-servant does not live in the house forever. A son remains forever.

³⁶ If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.

¹⁴ Iesus answered and sayde vnto them: Though I beare recorde of my selfe yet my recorde is true: for I knowe whence I came and whyther I goo. But ye cannot tell whence I come and whyther I goo.

¹⁵ Ye iudge after the flesshe. I iudge no man though I iudge yet is my iudgmet true. For I am not alone: but I and the father that sent me.

¹⁶ It is also written in youre lawe that the testimony of two men is true.

¹⁷ I am one that beare witnes of my selfe and the father that sent me beareth witnes of me.

¹⁸ Then sayde they vnto him: where is thy father? Iesus answered: ye nether knowe me nor yet my father. Yf ye had knowen me ye shuld have knowen my father also.

¹⁹ These wordes spake Iesus in the tresury as he taught in the temple and no man layde hondes on him for his tyme was not yet come.

²⁰ Then sayde Iesus agayne vnto them. I goo my waye and ye shall seke me and shall dye in youre synnes. Whyther I goo thyther can ye not come.

²¹ Then sayde the Iewes: will he kyll him selfe because he sayth: whyther I goo thyther can ye not come?

²² And he sayde vnto the: ye are from beneth I am from above. Ye are of this worlde I am not of this worlde.

²³ I sayde therfore vnto you that ye shall dye in youre synnes. For except ye beleve that I am he ye shall dye in youre synnes.

²⁴ Then sayde they vnto him who arte thou? And Iesus sayde vnto them: even the very same thinge that I saye vnto you.

²⁵ I have many thinges to saye and to iudge of you. But he that sent me is true. And I speake in the worlde those thinges which I have hearde of him.

²⁶ They understode not that he spake of his father.

²⁷ Then sayde Iesus vnto them: when ye have lyft vp an hye the sonne of man then shall ye knowe that I am he and that I do nothinge of my selfe: but as my father hath taught me even so I speake:

²⁸ and he that sent me is with me. The father hath not lefte me alone for I do alwayes those thinges that please him.

²⁹ As he spake these wordes many beleved on him.

³⁰ Then sayde Iesus to those Iewes which beleved on him. If ye continue in my wordes then are ye my very disciples

³¹ and shall knowe the trueth: and the trueth shall make you free.

³² They answered him: We be Abrahams seede and were never bonde to eny man: why sayest thou then ye shalbe made fre.

³³ Iesus answered them: verely verely I saye vnto you that whosoever committeth synne is the servaunt of synne.

³⁴ And the servaunt abydeth not in the housse for ever: But the sonne abydeth ever.

³⁵ If the sonne therfore shall make you fre then are ye fre in dede.

³⁶ I knowe that ye are Abrahams seed: But ye seke meanes to kyll me because my sayinges have no place in you.

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.

¹⁵ You judge according the flesh; I judge no one.

¹⁶ Yet if I judge, my judgment is true because I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.

¹⁷ Yes, and in your law it is written that the testimony of two men is true.

¹⁸ I am he who bears witness about myself, and the Father who sent me bears witness about me.”

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.”

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.

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.”

²² The Jews said, “Will he kill himself? Is that why he says, 'Where I am going you cannot come'?”

²³ Jesus said to them, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.

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.”

²⁵ They said therefore to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them, “What I have said to you from the beginning.

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.”

²⁷ They did not understand that he was speaking to them about the Father.

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.

²⁹ He who sent me is with me, and he has not left me alone, because I always do what is pleasing to him.”

³⁰ As Jesus was saying these things, many believed in him.

³¹ Jesus said to those Jews who had believed him, “If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples;

³² and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

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'?”

³⁴ Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin.

³⁵ The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son remains forever.

³⁶ Therefore, if the Son sets you free, you will be truly free.

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 You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.

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 It’s also written in your law that the testimony of two people is valid.

¹⁸ I am one who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me.”

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 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 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 The Jews therefore said, “Will he kill himself, because he says, ‘Where I am going, you can’t come’?”

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 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 They said therefore to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them, “Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.

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 They didn’t understand that he spoke to them about the Father.

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 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 As he spoke these things, many believed in him.

³¹ Jesus therefore said to those Jews who had believed him, “If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.

³² You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”

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 Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the bondservant of sin.

³⁵ A bondservant doesn’t live in the house forever. A son remains forever.

³⁶ If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.

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 You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.

¹⁶ Even if I do judge, my judgement is true, for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.

¹⁷ It’s also written in your law that the testimony of two people is valid.

¹⁸ I am one who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me.”

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 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 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 The Jews therefore said, “Will he kill himself, because he says, ‘Where I am going, you can’t come’?”

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 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 They said therefore to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them, “Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.

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 They didn’t understand that he spoke to them about the Father.

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 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 As he spoke these things, many believed in him.

³¹ Jesus therefore said to those Jews who had believed him, “If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.

³² You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”

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 Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the bondservant of sin.

³⁵ A bondservant doesn’t live in the house forever. A son remains forever.

³⁶ If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.

¹⁴ Jesus answered and said to them, Though I testify concerning myself, yet my testimony 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 testifieth concerning myself; and the Father that sent me, testifieth concerning me.

¹⁹ Then said they to him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye would have known my Father also.

²⁰ These words Jesus spoke 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 to them, I am going away, and ye will seek me, and will 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 to them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.

²⁴ I said therefore to you, that ye will die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he , ye will die in your sins.

²⁵ Then said they to him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith to them, Even the same that I said to 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 from him.

²⁷ They understood not that he spoke to them concerning the Father.

²⁸ Then said Jesus to 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 spoke these words, many believed on him.

³¹ Then said Jesus to those Jews who believed on him, If ye continue in my word, ye are my disciples indeed;

³² And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

³³ They answered him, We are Abraham's offspring, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?

³⁴ Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say to you, Whoever committeth sin, is the servant of sin.

³⁵ And the servant abideth not in the house for ever, but the Son abideth for ever.

³⁶ If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

¹⁴ Yeshua 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 You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.

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 It’s also written in your Torah that the testimony of two people is valid.

¹⁸ I am one who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me.”

¹⁹ They said therefore to him, “Where is your Father?” Yeshua answered, “You know neither me nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father also.”

²⁰ Yeshua 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 Yeshua 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 The Judeans therefore said, “Will he kill himself, because he says, ‘Where I am going, you can’t come’?”

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 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 They said therefore to him, “Who are you?” Yeshua said to them, “Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.

³⁵ A bondservant doesn’t live in the house forever. A son remains forever.

³⁶ If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.

¹⁴ Jesus answered, and said to them, And if I bear witnessing of myself, my witnessing is true; for I know from whence I came, and whither I go. But ye know not from whence I came, nor whither I go.

¹⁵ For ye deem after the flesh, but I deem no man;

¹⁶ and if I deem, my doom is true, for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.

¹⁷ And in your law it is written, that the witnessing of two men is true.

¹⁸ I am, that bear witnessing of myself, and the Father that sent me, beareth witnessing of me.

¹⁹ Therefore they said to him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Neither ye know me, nor ye know my Father; if ye knew me, peradventure ye should know also my Father.

²⁰ Jesus spake these words in the treasury, teaching in the temple; and no man took him, for his hour came not yet.

²¹ Therefore again Jesus said to them, Lo! I go, and ye shall seek me, and ye shall die in your sin; whither I go, ye may not come.

²² Therefore the Jews said, Whether he shall slay himself, for he saith, Whither I go, ye may not come?

²³ And he said to them, Ye be of beneath, I am of above; ye be of this world, I am not of this world.

²⁴ Therefore I said to you, that ye shall die in your sins; for if ye believe not that I am, ye shall die in your sins.

²⁵ Therefore they said to him, Who art thou? Jesus said to them, The beginning, or the first of all thing, which and I also speak to you.

²⁶ I have many things to speak, and to deem of you, but he that sent me is soothfast; and I speak in the world these things, that I heard of him.

²⁷ And they knew not, that he called his Father God.

²⁸ Therefore Jesus said to them, When ye have araised man’s Son, then ye shall know, that I am, and of myself I do nothing; but as my Father taught me, I speak these things.

²⁹ And he that sent me is with me, and left me not alone; for I do ever-more those things, that be pleasing to him.

³⁰ When he spake these things, many believed in him.

³¹ Therefore Jesus said to the Jews, that believed in him, If ye dwell in my word, verily, ye shall be my disciples;

³² and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

³³ Therefore the Jews answered to him, We be the seed of Abraham, and we served never to man or and to no man we served ever; how sayest thou, That ye shall be free?

³⁴ Jesus answered to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, each man that doeth sin, is the servant of sin.

³⁵ And the servant dwelleth not in the house without end, but the Son dwelleth without end.

³⁶ Therefore if the Son make you free, verily, ye shall be free.

¹⁴ Jesus answered, and said to them, And if I bear witnessing of myself, my witnessing is true, (or Jesus answered, and said to them, And if I testify about myself, then my testimony is true); for I know from whence I came, and whither I go. But ye know not from whence I came, nor whither I go.

¹⁵ For ye deem after the flesh, but I deem no man; (For ye judge after the flesh, but I judge no man;)

¹⁶ and if I deem, my doom is true, (or and if I judge, then my judgement is true), for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.

¹⁷ And in your law it is written, that the witnessing of two men is true. (And in your Law it is written, that the testimony of two men who agree is true.)

¹⁸ I am, that bear witnessing of myself, and the Father that sent me, beareth witnessing of me. (I am he, who giveth testimony about myself, and the Father who sent me, also giveth testimony about me.)

¹⁹ Therefore they said to him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Neither ye know me, nor ye know my Father; if ye knew me, peradventure ye should know also my Father.

²⁰ Jesus spake these words in the treasury, teaching in the temple; and no man took (hold of) him, for his hour came not yet, (or for his hour had not yet come, or for it was not yet his time).

²¹ Therefore again Jesus said to them, Lo! I go, and ye shall seek me, and ye shall die in your sin; whither I go, ye may not come, (or where I go, ye cannot come).

²² Therefore the Jews said, Whether he shall slay himself, for he saith, Whither I go, ye may not come? (And so the Jews said, Shall he kill himself, for he said, Where I go, ye cannot come?)

²³ And he said to them, Ye be of beneath, I am of above; ye be of this world, I am not of this world.

²⁴ Therefore I said to you, that ye shall die in your sins; for if ye believe not that I am, ye shall die in your sins.

²⁵ Therefore they said to him, Who art thou? Jesus said to them, The beginning, or the first of all thing(s), which I also speak to you, (or what I have told you).

²⁶ I have many things to speak, and to deem of you, but he that sent me is soothfast; and I speak in the world these things, that I heard of him. (I have many things to say, and to judge about you, and he who sent me is truthful; and I say in the world these things, that I heard from him.)

²⁷ And they knew not, that he called his Father God. (And they did not know or understand, that he called God his Father.)

²⁸ Therefore Jesus said to them, When ye have araised man’s Son, then ye shall know, that I am, and of myself I do nothing, (or When ye have raised up man’s Son, then ye shall know, what I am, and that by myself I can do nothing); but as my Father taught me, I speak these things.

²⁹ And he that sent me is with me, and left me not alone; for I do (for)evermore those things, that be pleasing to him, (or for I always do those things, that be pleasing to him).

³⁰ When he spake these things, many believed in him.

³¹ Therefore Jesus said to the Jews, that believed in him, If ye dwell in my word, verily, ye shall be my disciples, (or If ye remain in my word, truly, ye shall be my disciples);

³² and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

³³ Therefore the Jews answered to him, We be the seed of Abraham, and we served never to (any) man, or and to no man we served ever, (or and we were never in servitude, or in slavery, to any man); how sayest thou, That ye shall be free?

³⁴ Jesus answered to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, (or Truly, I tell you the truth), each man that doeth sin, is the servant of sin.

³⁵ And the servant dwelleth not in the house into without end, but the Son dwelleth into without end.

³⁶ Therefore if the Son make you free, verily, ye shall be free. (And so if the Son shall make you free, truly, or in truth, ye shall be free.)

¹⁴ Jhesus answerde, and seide to hem, And if Y bere witnessyng of my silf, my witnessyng is trewe; for Y woot fro whennus Y cam, and whidur Y go.

¹⁵ But ye witen not fro whennus Y cam, ne whidur Y go. For ye demen aftir the fleisch, but Y deme no man;

¹⁶ and if Y deme, my doom is trewe, for Y am not aloone, but Y and the fadir that sente me.

¹⁷ And in youre lawe it is writun, that the witnessyng of twei men is trewe.

¹⁸ Y am, that bere witnessyng of my silf, and the fadir that sente me, berith witnessyng of me.

¹⁹ Therfor thei seiden to hym, Where is thi fadir? Jhesus answeride, Nether ye knowen me, nethir ye knowen my fadir; if ye knewen me, perauenture ye schulden knowe also my fadir.

²⁰ Jhesus spak these wordis in the tresorie, techynge in the temple; and no man took hym, for his our cam not yit.

²¹ Therfor eft Jhesus seide to hem, Lo! Y go, and ye schulen seke me, and ye schulen die in youre synne; whidur Y go, ye moun not come.

²² Therfor the Jewis seiden, Whether he schal sle hym silf, for he seith, Whidur Y go, ye moun not come?

²³ And he seide to hem, Ye ben of bynethe, Y am of aboue; ye ben of this world, Y am not of this world.

²⁴ Therfor Y seide to you, that ye schulen die in youre synnes; for if ye bileuen not that Y am, ye schulen die in youre synne.

²⁵ Therfor thei seiden to hym, Who art thou? Jhesus seide to hem, The bigynnyng, which also speke to you.

²⁶ Y haue many thingis to speke, and deme of you, but he that sente me is sothefast; and Y speke in the world these thingis, that Y herde of hym.

²⁷ And thei knewen not, that he clepide his fadir God.

²⁸ Therfor Jhesus seith to hem, Whanne ye han areisid mannus sone, thanne ye schulen knowe, that Y am, and of my silf Y do no thing; but as my fadir tauyte me, Y speke these thingis.

²⁹ And he that sente me is with me, and lefte me not aloone; for Y do euermore tho thingis, that ben plesynge to hym.

³⁰ Whanne he spak these thingis, manye bileueden in hym.

³¹ Therfor Jhesus seide to the Jewis, that bileueden in hym, If ye dwellen in my word, verili ye schulen be my disciplis;

³² and ye schulen knowe the treuthe, and the treuthe schal make you fre.

³³ Therfor the Jewis answeriden to hym, We ben the seed of Abraham, and we serueden neuere to man; hou seist thou, That ye schulen be fre?

³⁴ Jhesus answeride to hem, Treuli, treuli, Y seie to you, ech man that doith synne, is seruaunt of synne.

³⁵ And the seruaunt dwellith not in the hows with outen ende, but the sone dwellith with outen ende.

³⁶ Therfor if the sone make you fre, verili ye schulen be fre.

¹⁴ Jesus answered and said to them, 'And if I testify of myself — my testimony is true, because I have known whence I came, and whither I go, and ye — ye have not known whence I come, or whither I go.

¹⁵ 'Ye according to the flesh do judge; I do not judge any one,

¹⁶ and even if I do judge my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me;

¹⁷ and also in your law it hath been written, that the testimony of two men are true;

¹⁸ I am one who is testifying of myself, and the Father who sent me doth testify of me.'

¹⁹ They said, therefore, to him, 'Where is thy father?' Jesus answered, 'Ye have neither known me nor my Father: if me ye had known, my Father also ye had known.'

²⁰ These sayings spake Jesus in the treasury, teaching in the temple, and no one seized him, because his hour had not yet come;

²¹ therefore said Jesus again to them, 'I go away, and ye will seek me, and in your sin ye shall die; whither I go away, ye are not able to come.'

²² The Jews, therefore, said, 'Will he kill himself, because he saith, Whither I go away, ye are not able to come?'

²³ and he said to them, 'Ye are from beneath, I am from above; ye are of this world, I am not of this world;

²⁴ I said, therefore, to you, that ye shall die in your sins, for if ye may not believe that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.'

²⁵ They said, therefore, to him, 'Thou — who art thou?' and Jesus said to them, 'Even what I did speak of to you at the beginning;

²⁶ many things I have to speak concerning you and to judge, but He who sent me is true, and I — what things I heard from Him — these I say to the world.'

²⁷ They knew not that of the Father he spake to them;

²⁸ Jesus, therefore, said to them, 'When ye may lift up the Son of Man then ye will know that I am he; and of myself I do nothing, but according as my Father did teach me, these things I speak;

²⁹ and He who sent me is with me; the Father did not leave me alone, because I, the things pleasing to Him, do always.'

³⁰ As he is speaking these things, many believed in him;

³¹ Jesus, therefore, said unto the Jews who believed in him, 'If ye may remain in my word, truly my disciples ye are, and ye shall know the truth,

³² and the truth shall make you free.'

³³ They answered him, 'Seed of Abraham we are; and to no one have we been servants at any time; how dost thou say — Ye shall become free?'

³⁴ Jesus answered them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you — Every one who is committing sin, is a servant of the sin,

³⁵ and the servant doth not remain in the house — to the age, the son doth remain — to the age;

³⁶ if then the son may make you free, in reality ye shall be free.
