John 8

1 But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.

1 于是各人都回家去了；耶稣却往橄榄山去，

2 Early in the morning He went back into the temple courts. All the people came to Him, and He sat down to teach them.

2 清早又回到殿里。众百姓都到他那里去，他就坐下，教训他们。

3 The scribes and Pharisees, however, brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before them

3 文士和法利赛人带着一个行淫时被拿的妇人来，叫她站在当中，

4 and said, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery.

4 就对耶稣说：「夫子，这妇人是正行淫之时被拿的。

5 In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such a woman. So what do You say?”

5 摩西在律法上吩咐我们把这样的妇人用石头打死。你说该把她怎么样呢？」

6 They said this to test Him, in order to have a basis for accusing Him. But Jesus bent down and began to write on the ground with His finger.

6 他们说这话，乃试探耶稣，要得着告他的把柄。耶稣却弯着腰，用指头在地上画字。

7 When they continued to question Him, He straightened up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to cast a stone at her.”

7 他们还是不住地问他，耶稣就直起腰来，对他们说：「你们中间谁是没有罪的，谁就可以先拿石头打她。」

8 And again He bent down and wrote on the ground.

8 于是又弯着腰，用指头在地上画字。

9 When they heard this, they began to go away one by one, beginning with the older ones, until only Jesus was left, with the woman standing there.

9 他们听见这话，就从老到少，一个一个地都出去了，只剩下耶稣一人，还有那妇人仍然站在当中。

10 Then Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are your accusers? Has no one condemned you?”

10 耶稣就直起腰来，对她说：「妇人，那些人在哪里呢？没有人定你的罪吗？」

11 “No one, Lord,” she answered. “Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Now go and sin no more.”

11 她说：「主啊，没有。」耶稣说：「我也不定你的罪。去吧，从此不要再犯罪了！」

12 Once again, Jesus spoke to the people and said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will never walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.”

12 耶稣又对众人说：「我是世界的光。跟从我的，就不在黑暗里走，必要得着生命的光。」

13 So the Pharisees said to Him, “You are testifying about Yourself; Your testimony is not valid.”

13 法利赛人对他说：「你是为自己作见证，你的见证不真。」

14 Jesus replied, “Even if 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 came from or where I am going.

14 耶稣说：「我虽然为自己作见证，我的见证还是真的；因我知道我从哪里来，往哪里去；你们却不知道我从哪里来，往哪里去。

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

15 你们是以外貌 判断人，我却不判断人。

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

16 就是判断人，我的判断也是真的；因为不是我独自在这里，还有差我来的父与我同在。

17 Even in your own Law it is written that the testimony of two men is valid.

17 你们的律法上也记着说：『两个人的见证是真的。』

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

18 我是为自己作见证，还有差我来的父也是为我作见证。」

19 “Where is Your Father?” they asked Him. “You do not know Me or My Father,” Jesus answered. “If you knew Me, you would know My Father as well.”

19 他们就问他说：「你的父在哪里？」耶稣回答说：「你们不认识我，也不认识我的父；若是认识我，也就认识我的父。」

20 He spoke these words while teaching in the temple courts, near the treasury. Yet no one seized Him, because His hour had not yet come.

20 这些话是耶稣在殿里的库房、教训人时所说的，也没有人拿他，因为他的时候还没有到。

21 Again He said to them, “I am going away, and you will look for Me, but you will die in your sin. Where I am going, you cannot come.”

21 耶稣又对他们说：「我要去了，你们要找我，并且你们要死在罪中。我所去的地方，你们不能到。」

22 So the Jews began to ask, “Will He kill Himself, since He says, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come’?”

22 犹太人说：「他说『我所去的地方，你们不能到』，难道他要自尽吗？」

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

23 耶稣对他们说：「你们是从下头来的，我是从上头来的；你们是属这世界的，我不是属这世界的。

24 That is why I told you that you would die in your sins. For unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.”

24 所以我对你们说，你们要死在罪中。你们若不信我是基督，必要死在罪中。」

25 “Who are You?” they asked. “Just what I have been telling you from the beginning,” Jesus replied.

25 他们就问他说：「你是谁？」耶稣对他们说：「就是我从起初所告诉你们的。

26 “I have much to say about you and much to judge. But the One who sent Me is truthful, and what I have heard from Him, I tell the world.”

26 我有许多事讲论你们，判断你们；但那差我来的是真的，我在他那里所听见的，我就传给世人。」

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

27 他们不明白耶稣是指着父说的。

28 So Jesus said, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing on My own, but speak exactly what the Father has taught Me.

28 所以耶稣说：「你们举起人子以后，必知道我是基督，并且知道我没有一件事是凭着自己做的。我说这些话乃是照着父所教训我的。

29 He who sent Me is with Me. He has not left Me alone, because I always do what pleases Him.”

29 那差我来的是与我同在；他没有撇下我独自在这里，因为我常做他所喜悦的事。」

30 As Jesus spoke these things, many believed in Him.

30 耶稣说这话的时候，就有许多人信他。

31 So He said to the Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, you are truly My disciples.

31 耶稣对信他的犹太人说：「你们若常常遵守我的道，就真是我的门徒；

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

32 你们必晓得真理，真理必叫你们得以自由。」

33 “We are Abraham’s descendants,” they answered. “We have never been slaves to anyone. How can You say we will be set free?”

33 他们回答说：「我们是亚伯拉罕的后裔，从来没有作过谁的奴仆。你怎么说『你们必得以自由』呢？」

34 Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin.

34 耶稣回答说：「我实实在在地告诉你们，所有犯罪的就是罪的奴仆。

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

35 奴仆不能永远住在家里；儿子是永远住在家里。

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

36 所以天父的儿子若叫你们自由，你们就真自由了。

37 I know you are Abraham’s descendants, but you are trying to kill Me because My word has no place within you.

37 我知道你们是亚伯拉罕的子孙，你们却想要杀我，因为你们心里容不下我的道。

38 I speak of what I have seen in the presence of the Father, and you do what you have heard from your father.”

38 我所说的是在我父那里看见的；你们所行的是在你们的父那里听见的。」

39 “Abraham is our father,” they replied. “If you were children of Abraham,” said Jesus, “you would do the works of Abraham.

39 他们说：「我们的父就是亚伯拉罕。」耶稣说：「你们若是亚伯拉罕的儿子，就必行亚伯拉罕所行的事。

40 But now you are trying to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham never did such a thing.

40 我将在 神那里所听见的真理告诉了你们，现在你们却想要杀我，这不是亚伯拉罕所行的事。

41 You are doing the works of your father.” “We are not illegitimate children,” they declared. “Our only Father is God Himself.”

41 你们是行你们父所行的事。」他们说：「我们不是从淫乱生的；我们只有一位父，就是 神。」

42 Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I have come here from God. I have not come on My own, but He sent Me.

42 耶稣说：「倘若 神是你们的父，你们就必爱我；因为我本是出于 神，也是从 神而来，并不是由着自己来，乃是他差我来。

43 Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you are unable to accept My message.

43 你们为什么不明白我的话呢？无非是因你们不能听我的道。

44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out his desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, refusing to uphold the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, because he is a liar and the father of lies.

44 你们是出于你们的父魔鬼，你们父的私欲你们偏要行。他从起初是杀人的，不守真理，因他心里没有真理。他说谎是出于自己；因他本来是说谎的，也是说谎之人的父。

45 But because I speak the truth, you do not believe Me!

45 我将真理告诉你们，你们就因此不信我。

46 Which of you can prove Me guilty of sin? If I speak the truth, why do you not believe Me?

46 你们中间谁能指证我有罪呢？我既然将真理告诉你们，为什么不信我呢？

47 Whoever belongs to God hears the words of God. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.”

47 出于 神的，必听 神的话；你们不听，因为你们不是出于 神。」

48 The Jews answered Him, “Are we not right to say that You are a Samaritan and You have a demon?”

48 犹太人回答说：「我们说你是撒马利亚人，并且是鬼附着的，这话岂不正对吗？」

49 “I do not have a demon,” Jesus replied, “but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me.

49 耶稣说：「我不是鬼附着的；我尊敬我的父，你们倒轻慢我。

50 I do not seek My own glory. There is One who seeks it, and He is the Judge.

50 我不求自己的荣耀，有一位为我求荣耀、定是非的。

51 Truly, truly, I tell you, if anyone keeps My word, he will never see death.”

51 我实实在在地告诉你们，人若遵守我的道，就永远不见死。」

52 “Now we know that You have a demon!” declared the Jews. “Abraham died, and so did the prophets, yet You say that anyone who keeps Your word will never taste death.

52 犹太人对他说：「现在我们知道你是鬼附着的。亚伯拉罕死了，众先知也死了，你还说：『人若遵守我的道，就永远不尝死味。』

53 Are You greater than our father Abraham? He died, as did the prophets. Who do You claim to be?”

53 难道你比我们的祖宗亚伯拉罕还大吗？他死了，众先知也死了，你将自己当作什么人呢？」

54 Jesus answered, “If I glorify Myself, My glory means nothing. The One who glorifies Me is My Father, of whom you say, ‘He is our God.’

54 耶稣回答说：「我若荣耀自己，我的荣耀就算不得什么；荣耀我的乃是我的父，就是你们所说是你们的 神。

55 You do not know Him, but I know Him. If I said I did not know Him, I would be a liar like you. But I do know Him, and I keep His word.

55 你们未曾认识他；我却认识他。我若说不认识他，我就是说谎的，像你们一样；但我认识他，也遵守他的道。

56 Your father Abraham rejoiced that he would see My day. He saw it and was glad.”

56 你们的祖宗亚伯拉罕欢欢喜喜地仰望我的日子，既看见了就快乐。」

57 Then the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and You have seen Abraham?”

57 犹太人说：「你还没有五十岁，岂见过亚伯拉罕呢？」

58 “Truly, truly, I tell you,” Jesus declared, “before Abraham was born, I am!”

58 耶稣说：「我实实在在地告诉你们，还没有亚伯拉罕就有了我。」

59 At this, they picked up stones to throw at Him. But Jesus was hidden and went out of the temple area.

59 于是他们拿石头要打他；耶稣却躲藏，从殿里出去了。
