Tyndale - John - 8

8:1  And Iesus went vnto mounte Olivete

8:2  and erly in ye mornynge came agayne into ye temple and all the people came vnto him and he sate doune and taught them.

8:3  And the scribes and ye pharises brought vnto him a woman taken in advoutry and set hyr in the myddes

8:4  and sayde vnto him: Master this woman was taken in advoutry even as the dede was a doyng.

8:5  Moses in the lawe comaunded vs yt suche shuld be stoned. What sayest thou therfore?

8:6  And this they sayde to tempt him: that they myght have wherof to accuse him. Iesus stouped doune and with his fynger wrote on the grounde.

8:7  And whyll they continued axynge him he lyfte him selfe vp and sayde vnto them: let him yt is amoge you wt out synne cast the fyrst stone at her.

8:8  And agayne he stouped doune and wrote on ye grounde.

8:9  And assone as they hearde that they went out one by one the eldest fyrst. And Iesus was lefte a lone and the woman stondynge in ye myddes.

8:10  When Iesus had lyfte vp him selfe agayne and sawe no man but the woman he sayde vnto hyr. Woman where are those thyne accusars? Hath no man condempned the?

8:11  She sayde: No man Lorde. And Iesus sayde: Nether do I condempne the. Goo and synne no moare.

8:12  Then spake Iesus agayne vnto them sayinge: I am the light of the worlde. He that foloweth me shall not walke in darcknes: but shall have the light of lyfe.

8:13  The pharises sayde vnto him: thou bearest recorde of thy sylfe thy recorde is not true.

8:14  Iesus answered and sayde vnto them: Though I beare recorde of my selfe yet my recorde is true: for I knowe whece I came and whyther I goo. But ye cannot tell whece I come and whyther I goo.

8:15  Ye iudge after ye flesshe. I iudge no man

8:16  though I iudge yet is my iudgmet true. For I am not alone: but I and the father that sent me.

8:17  It is also written in youre lawe that the testimony of two men is true.

8:18  I am one yt beare witnes of my selfe and the father that sent me beareth witnes of me.

8:19  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.

8:20  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.

8:21  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.

8:22  Then sayde the Iewes: will he kyll him selfe because he sayth: whyther I goo thyther can ye not come?

8:23  And he sayde vnto the: ye are fro beneth I am from above. Ye are of this worlde I am not of this worlde.

8:24  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.

8:25  Then sayde they vnto him who arte thou? And Iesus sayde vnto them: Even ye very same thinge yt I saye vnto you.

8:26  I have many thinges to saye and to iudge of you. But he yt sent me is true. And I speake in ye worlde those thinges which I have hearde of him.

8:27  They understode not that he spake of his father.

8:28  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:

8:29  and he that sent me is with me. The father hath not lefte me alone for I do alwayes those thinges that please him.

8:30  As he spake these wordes many beleved on him.

8:31  Then sayde Iesus to those Iewes which beleved on him. If ye cotinue in my wordes then are ye my very disciples

8:32  and shall knowe the trueth: and the trueth shall make you free.

8:33  They answered him: We be Abrahams seede and were never bonde to eny man: why sayest thou then ye shalbe made fre.

8:34  Iesus answered them: verely verely I saye vnto you that whosoever committeth synne is the servaunt of synne.

8:35  And the servaunt abydeth not in the housse for ever: But ye sonne abydeth ever.

8:36  If the sonne therfore shall make you fre then are ye fre in dede.

8:37  I knowe that ye are Abrahams seed: But ye seke meanes to kyll me because my sayinges have no place in you.

8:38  I speake that I have sene with my father: and ye do that which ye have sene with youre father.

8:39  They answered and sayde vnto him: Abraham is oure father. Iesus sayde vnto them. If ye were Abrahams chyldren ye wolde do the dedes of Abraham.

8:40  But now ye goo about io kyll me a man that have tolde you the truthe which I have herde of god: this dyd not Abraham.

8:41  Ye do the dedes of youre father. Then sayde they vnto him: we were not borne of fornicacion. We have one father which is God.

8:42  Iesus sayde vnto them: yf God were youre father then wolde ye love me. For I proceaded forthe and come from God. Nether came I of my selfe but he sent me.

8:43  Why do ye not knowe my speache? Even because ye cannot abyde the hearynge of my wordes.

8:44  Ye are of youre father the devyll and the lustes of youre father ye will folowe. He was a murtherer from the beginnynge and aboode not in the trueth because ther is no trueth in him. When he speaketh a lye then speaketh he of his awne. For he is a lyar and the father therof.

8:45  And because I tell you ye trueth therfore ye beleve me not.

8:46  Which of you can rebuke me of synne? If I saye ye trueth why do not ye beleve me?

8:47  He that is of God heareth goddes wordes Ye therfore heare them not because ye are not of God.

8:48  Then answered the Iewes and sayde vnto him: Saye we not well that thou arte a Samaritane and hast the devyll?

8:49  Iesus answered: I have not the devyll: but I honour my father and ye have dishonoured me.

8:50  I seke not myne awne prayse: but ther is one that seketh and iudgeth.

8:51  Verely verely I saye vnto you yf a man kepe my sayinges he shall never se deeth.

8:52  Then sayde the Iewes to him: Now knowe we that thou hast the devyll. Abraha is deed and also the Prophetes: and yet thou sayest yf a man kepe my sayinge he shall never tast of deeth.

8:53  Arte thou greater then oure father Abraham which is deed? and the Prophetes are deed. Whome makest thou thy selfe?

8:54  Iesus answered: Yf I honoure my selfe myne honoure is nothinge worth. It is my father that honoureth me which ye saye is youre God

8:55  and ye have not knowen him: but I knowe him. And yf I shuld saye I knowe him not I shuld be a lyar lyke vnto you. But I knowe him and kepe his sayinge.

8:56  Youre father Abraham was glad to se my daye and he sawe it and reioysed.

8:57  Then sayde the Iewes vnto him: thou arte not yet.l. yere olde and hast thou sene Abraham?

8:58  Iesus sayd vnto them: Verely verely I saye vnto you: yer Abraham was I am.

8:59  Then toke they vp stones to caste at him. But Iesus hid him selfe and went out of ye temple.
