赦された不倫の女
8 さて、イエスはオリーブ山に戻りましたが、 2 翌朝早く、また宮にお出かけになりました。たちまち人々が集まって来て、黒山の人だかりです。イエスは腰をおろし、話し始められました。 3 その最中に、ユダヤ人の指導者やパリサイ人が、寄ってたかって一人の女を引っぱって来ました。彼らは、あっけにとられて見ている人々の前に女を突き出しました。 4 「先生。この女を見てください。不倫の現場でつかまったのです。 5 モーセの律法では、こういう不届き者は石で打ち殺すことになっていますが、どうしたものでしょう。」 6 こう言ったのは、何かイエスのことばじりをとらえて、訴えてやろうという魂胆があったからです。ところがイエスは、体をかがめ、指で地面に何か書いておられるだけでした。 7 けれども、彼らは引き下がりません。あくまで質問を続けてやめなかったので、イエスはゆっくり体を起こし、「わかりました。この女を石で打ち殺しなさい。ただし、最初に石を投げるのは、今まで一度も罪を犯したことのない者ですよ」と言われました。 8 そして、すぐにまた体をかがめ、地面に何か書いておられました。 9 すると、ユダヤ人の指導者もパリサイ人も、ばつが悪そうに、年長者から順に一人去り二人去りして、とうとうイエスと女だけが、群衆の前に取り残されました。 10 イエスは体を起こし、女に言われました。「あなたを訴えた人たちはどこにいますか。罰する者は一人もいなかったのですか。」 11 「はい、先生。」「そうですか。わたしもあなたを罰しません。さあ、行きなさい。もう二度と罪を犯してはいけませんよ。」
世の光であるイエス
12 そのあとで、イエスは人々にお話しになりました。「わたしは世の光です。わたしに従って来れば、暗闇でつまずくことはありません。いのちの光が、あなたがたの進む道を明るく照らすからです。」 13 すると、パリサイ人たちが言いました。「うそばかり並べ立てて、自慢話もほどほどにしたらどうだ。」 14 「わたしはありのままを言っているのです。うそでも、でたらめでもありません。自分がどこから来てどこへ行くか、よくわかっています。ところが、あなたがたは全然わかっていません。 15 人間の基準でわたしをさばいているからです。わたしはだれのこともさばきません。 16 しかし、もしわたしがあなたがたをさばいたとしても、そのさばきは、どこから見ても正しいのです。わたしをお遣わしになった父がいっしょにさばいてくださるからです。 17 あなたがたの律法では、ある出来事について二人の証言が一致すれば、事実と認められることになっています。 18 だとしたら、わたしとわたしをお遣わしになった父とで、りっぱに二人の証人がそろいます。」 19 パリサイ人たちは言いました。「では、そのお父上とやらはどこにいるのか。」「わたしのことを知らないから、父のこともわからないのです。わたしを知っていたら、父をも知っていたでしょうに。」
真理は人を自由にする
20 こうした話がなされたのは、宮の中の献金箱が置いてある所ででした。しかし、だれ一人イエスを逮捕する者はいません。まだその時ではなかったのです。
21 イエスはまた、こんな話もなさいました。「わたしはもうすぐいなくなります。あなたがたは必死でわたしを捜すでしょうが、結局は、罪が赦されないまま死ぬのです。わたしが行く所へは来られません。」 22 ユダヤ人たちには、さっぱりわけがわかりません。「この人は自殺でもするつもりなのか。彼が行く所へ私たちは行けないとは、いったいどういうことだろう」と、首をかしげるばかりでした。 23 そこでイエスは言われました。「いいですか。あなたがたは地上に生まれた者ですが、わたしは天から来た者です。あなたがたはこの世の者ですが、わたしは違います。 24 だから、『あなたがたは罪が赦されないまま死ぬ』と言ったのです。わたしが神の子、メシヤであることを信じなければ、罪ののろいの下で死ぬしかないからです。」 25 「あなたはいったい、どういう方なのですか。」「そのことは、いつもはっきり言っていたはずです。 26 あなたがたには非難したいことや、教えたいことが山ほどあります。しかし、わたしをお遣わしになった方から聞いたことだけを話しましょう。その方は真実な方だからです。」 27 それでも彼らにはまだ、イエスが神のことを話しておられるのがわかりませんでした。 28 「あなたがたは、わたしを殺してはじめて、わたしがメシヤだったと気づくでしょう。そして、わたしが自分の考えではなく、父から教わったことを話していたとわかるでしょう。 29 わたしをお遣わしになった方が、わたしといつもいっしょにおられます。わたしをお見捨てになることはありません。わたしがいつも、その方のお心にかなうことをするからです。」
30-31 この話を聞いたユダヤ人の多くが、イエスをメシヤと信じるようになりました。その人たちにイエスは、「わたしが教えたとおりに生活すれば、ほんとうの弟子と言えます。 32 あなたがたは真理を知り、その真理があなたがたを自由にするのです」と言いました。 33 「おことばですが、私たちはれっきとしたアブラハムの子孫です。これまで、だれの奴隷になったこともありません。『自由にする』とはどういうことでしょう。」 34 「教えてあげましょう。あなたがたは一人残らず罪の奴隷なのです。 35 奴隷には何の権利もありません。しかし、主人の息子は別です。息子はありとあらゆる権利を持っています。 36 だから、神の子が自由にしてあげたなら、それでほんとうに自由の身になるのです。 37 確かに、あなたがたはアブラハムの子孫です。けれども、あなたがたの中には、わたしを殺そうとねらっている者がいます。わたしのことばが心にしっかり根を下ろしていないからです。 38 せっかくわたしが父といっしょにいた時に見たことを話してあげているのに、あなたがたは自分の父の言いつけに従っているだけです。」 39 「私たちの父はアブラハムです。」彼らは言いました。
「いや、あなたがたの父がアブラハムだったら、彼の良い模範にならったはずです。 40 ところが、どうです。反対にわたしを殺そうとしているではありませんか。しかもその理由は、わたしが神から聞いた真理を語ったからというのです。アブラハムなら、そんなことは絶対にしなかったでしょう。 41 そんなことをするのは、あなたがたが、あなたがた自身の父に従っているからです。」「私たちの真の父は、神ご自身です。私たちは私生児ではありません。」 42 「ほんとうにそのとおりなら、わたしを愛したはずです。わたしは神のもとから来たのですから。自分の考えで、今ここにいるのではありません。父がここにお遣わしになったのです。 43 わたしの言うことがわからないのも、むりはありません。理解できないようにされているのですから……。 44 あなたがたの父は悪魔です。悪魔の子が悪魔の悪い行いを喜んでまねても、不思議ではありません。悪魔は初めから人殺しで、真理をきらっています。悪魔のうちには真理の一かけらもありません。悪魔がうそをつくのは当然です。うそつきの大もとなのですから。 45 だから、わたしが真理を語ってもあなたがたが信じないのはあたりまえです。 46 あなたがたのうち、だれが、たった一つでもわたしの罪を指摘できますか。できないでしょう。真理を話しているのに、なぜわたしを信じないのですか。 47 神の子どもならだれでも、神のおっしゃることを喜んで聞くはずです。あなたがたが聞き従わないのは、神の子どもではないからです。」
48 「おまえはサマリヤ人だ！ よそ者だ！ やっぱり悪霊に取りつかれているのだ。」ユダヤ人たちはわめき立てました。 49 イエスは、「いや、断じてそんなことはありません。わたしは父を尊敬しています。が、そんなわたしを、あなたがたは軽蔑しているのです。 50 しかし、わたしは栄誉を求めているのではありません。ただ、わたしに栄誉を与えたいと願っておられる神が、わたしを受け入れない人々をおさばきになるのです。 51 よく言っておきましょう。わたしに従う者は、決して死なないのです」と言われました。 52 「おまえが悪霊に取りつかれていることが、はっきりした。アブラハムも、偉大な預言者たちも死んだのに、『わたしに従う者は死なない』などと、よく言ったものだ。 53 おまえは、先祖のアブラハムよりも偉いのか？ アブラハムは死んだろう。それとも、あの預言者たちよりも偉いとでも言うのか。その預言者たちも死んだではないか。いったい自分をだれだと思っているのだ。」 54 イエスは言われました。「わたしがただ自慢しているだけなら、全くむなしいものです。しかし、わたしに栄光を与えてくださるのは父なのです。この方を、あなたがたは『私たちの神様』と呼んでいます。 55 そう呼びながら、実はこの方を知りもしません。わたしはよく知っています。知らないなどと言ったら、それこそ、あなたがたと同じように大うそつきになります。わたしがこの方を知り、この方に全く従っているというのはほんとうです。 56 あなたがたの先祖アブラハムは、わたしの日を思い見て喜びにあふれました。わたしが来るとわかったからです。」 57 「まだ五十歳にもなっていないあんたが、よくアブラハム様を見ることができましたね。」 58 「アブラハムが生まれるずっと前から、わたしはいるのです。これは、まぎれもない事実です。」
59 話がここまで来ると、ユダヤ人たちは怒りを抑えることができず、手に手に石をつかみ、今にもイエスを打ち殺さんばかりになりました。しかし、イエスはすばやく身を避け、急いで宮を抜け出しました。

8 1 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.(A)
2 At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them.(B) 3 The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group 4 and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. 5 In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women.(C) Now what do you say?” 6 They were using this question as a trap,(D) in order to have a basis for accusing him.(E)
But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. 7 When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone(F) at her.”(G) 8 Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.
9 At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. 10 Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”
11 “No one, sir,” she said.
“Then neither do I condemn you,”(H) Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.”(I)
Dispute Over Jesus’ Testimony
12 When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am(J) the light of the world.(K) Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”(L)
13 The Pharisees challenged him, “Here you are, appearing as your own witness; your testimony is not valid.”(M)
14 Jesus answered, “Even if I testify on my own behalf, my testimony is valid, for I know where I came from and where I am going.(N) But you have no idea where I come from(O) or where I am going. 15 You judge by human standards;(P) I pass judgment on no one.(Q) 16 But if I do judge, my decisions are true, because I am not alone. I stand with the Father, who sent me.(R) 17 In your own Law it is written that the testimony of two witnesses is true.(S) 18 I am one who testifies for myself; my other witness is the Father, who sent me.”(T)
19 Then they asked him, “Where is your father?”
“You do not know me or my Father,”(U) Jesus replied. “If you knew me, you would know my Father also.”(V) 20 He spoke these words while teaching(W) in the temple courts near the place where the offerings were put.(X) Yet no one seized him, because his hour had not yet come.(Y)
Dispute Over Who Jesus Is
21 Once more Jesus said to them, “I am going away, and you will look for me, and you will die(Z) in your sin. Where I go, you cannot come.”(AA)
22 This made the Jews ask, “Will he kill himself? Is that why he says, ‘Where I go, you cannot come’?”
23 But he continued, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.(AB) 24 I told you that you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I am he,(AC) you will indeed die in your sins.”
25 “Who are you?” they asked.
“Just what I have been telling you from the beginning,” Jesus replied. 26 “I have much to say in judgment of you. But he who sent me is trustworthy,(AD) and what I have heard from him I tell the world.”(AE)
27 They did not understand that he was telling them about his Father. 28 So Jesus said, “When you have lifted up[a] the Son of Man,(AF) then you will know that I am he and that I do nothing on my own but speak just what the Father has taught me.(AG) 29 The one who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone,(AH) for I always do what pleases him.”(AI) 30 Even as he spoke, many believed in him.(AJ)
Dispute Over Whose Children Jesus’ Opponents Are
31 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching,(AK) you are really my disciples. 32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”(AL)
33 They answered him, “We are Abraham’s descendants(AM) and have never been slaves of anyone. How can you say that we shall be set free?”
34 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin.(AN) 35 Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever.(AO) 36 So if the Son sets you free,(AP) you will be free indeed. 37 I know that you are Abraham’s descendants. Yet you are looking for a way to kill me,(AQ) because you have no room for my word. 38 I am telling you what I have seen in the Father’s presence,(AR) and you are doing what you have heard from your father.[b]”(AS)
39 “Abraham is our father,” they answered.
“If you were Abraham’s children,”(AT) said Jesus, “then you would[c] do what Abraham did. 40 As it is, you are looking for a way to kill me,(AU) a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God.(AV) Abraham did not do such things. 41 You are doing the works of your own father.”(AW)
“We are not illegitimate children,” they protested. “The only Father we have is God himself.”(AX)
42 Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me,(AY) for I have come here from God.(AZ) I have not come on my own;(BA) God sent me.(BB) 43 Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say. 44 You belong to your father, the devil,(BC) and you want to carry out your father’s desires.(BD) He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.(BE) 45 Yet because I tell the truth,(BF) you do not believe me! 46 Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don’t you believe me? 47 Whoever belongs to God hears what God says.(BG) The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.”
Jesus’ Claims About Himself
48 The Jews answered him, “Aren’t we right in saying that you are a Samaritan(BH) and demon-possessed?”(BI)
49 “I am not possessed by a demon,” said Jesus, “but I honor my Father and you dishonor me. 50 I am not seeking glory for myself;(BJ) but there is one who seeks it, and he is the judge. 51 Very truly I tell you, whoever obeys my word will never see death.”(BK)
52 At this they exclaimed, “Now we know that you are demon-possessed!(BL) Abraham died and so did the prophets, yet you say that whoever obeys your word will never taste death. 53 Are you greater than our father Abraham?(BM) He died, and so did the prophets. Who do you think you are?”
54 Jesus replied, “If I glorify myself,(BN) my glory means nothing. My Father, whom you claim as your God, is the one who glorifies me.(BO) 55 Though you do not know him,(BP) I know him.(BQ) If I said I did not, I would be a liar like you, but I do know him and obey his word.(BR) 56 Your father Abraham(BS) rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it(BT) and was glad.”
57 “You are not yet fifty years old,” they said to him, “and you have seen Abraham!”
58 “Very truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “before Abraham was born,(BU) I am!”(BV) 59 At this, they picked up stones to stone him,(BW) but Jesus hid himself,(BX) slipping away from the temple grounds.
John 8
King James Version
John 8
King James Version
8 Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.
2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.
3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
13 The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true.
14 Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go.
15 Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.
16 And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
17 It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.
18 I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.
19 Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.
20 These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.
21 Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.
22 Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.
23 And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
25 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.
26 I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.
27 They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.
28 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.
29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.
30 As he spake these words, many believed on him.
31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
33 They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.
36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
37 I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.
39 They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.
44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
46 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?
47 He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
48 Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?
49 Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me.
50 And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
51 Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.
52 Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.
53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?
54 Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:
55 Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.
56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.
57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
59 Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
