John 8 - Wycliffe Bible (WYC)

8 But Jesus went into the mount of Olives.

² And early again he came into the temple; and all the people came to him; and he sat, and taught them.

³ And scribes and Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery, and they setted her in the middle [and set her in the middle],

⁴ and said to him, Master, this woman is now taken in adultery.

⁵ And in the law Moses commanded us to stone such; therefore what sayest thou?

⁶ And they said this thing tempting him, that they might accuse him. And Jesus bowed himself down, and wrote with his finger in the earth.

⁷ And when they abided asking him [Soothly when they lasted, or continued, asking him], he raised himself, and said to them, He of you that is without sin, first cast a stone into her.

⁸ And again he bowed [down] himself, and wrote in the earth.

⁹ And they hearing these things, went away one after another, and they began from the elder men [Soothly they hearing these things, went away one after another, they beginning at the elder men]; and Jesus dwelt alone, and the woman standing in the middle.

¹⁰ And Jesus raised himself, and said to her, Woman, where be they that accused thee? no man hath condemned thee.

¹¹ She said, No man, Lord. Jesus said to her, Neither I shall condemn thee; go thou, and now after do not thou sin no more^[a].

¹² Therefore again Jesus spake to them, and said [saying], I am the light of the world; he that followeth me, walketh not in darknesses, but shall have the light of life.

¹³ Therefore the Pharisees said, Thou bearest witnessing of thyself; thy witnessing is not true.

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; [Forsooth ye deem after the flesh, I deem not any 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 be not able to come [whither I go, ye may not come].

²² Therefore the Jews said, Whether he shall slay himself, for he saith, Whither I go, ye be not able to come [Whither I go, ye may 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, which also speak to you [Jesus said to them, The beginning, or the first of all thing, the which and I 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. [And they knew not, for he said 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 evermore those things, that be pleasing to him. [And he that sent me is with me, and left not me alone; for I do ever those things, that be pleasant 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 [no] man; how sayest thou, That ye shall be free [how sayest thou, 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 [into without end], but the Son dwelleth without end [into without end].

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

³⁷ I know that ye be Abraham's sons, but ye seek to slay me, for my word taketh not in you.

³⁸ I speak those things, that I saw at my Father; and ye do those things, that ye saw at your father.

³⁹ They answered, and said to him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith to them, If ye be the sons of Abraham, do ye the works of Abraham.

⁴⁰ But now ye seek to slay me, a man that have spoken to you [the] truth, that I heard of God; Abraham did not this thing.

⁴¹ Ye do the works of your father. Therefore they said to him [And so they said to him], We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, God.

⁴² But Jesus saith to them, If God were your Father, soothly ye should love me; for I passed forth of God, and came [forsooth I proceeded, or went forth, of God, and came]; for neither I came of myself, but he sent me.

⁴³ Why know ye not my speech? for ye be not able to hear my word.

⁴⁴ Ye be of the father, the devil, and ye will do the desires of your father. He was a manslayer from the beginning, and he stood not in truth; for truth is not in him. When he speaketh lying [When he speaketh a lying], he speaketh of his own; for he is a liar, and father of it.

⁴⁵ But for I say truth, ye believe not to me.

⁴⁶ Who of you shall reprove me of sin? if I say truth, why believe ye not to me?

⁴⁷ He that is of God, heareth the words of God; therefore ye hear not, for ye be not of God.

⁴⁸ Therefore the Jews answered, and said [to him], Whether we say not well, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?

⁴⁹ Jesus answered, and said, I have not a devil, but I honour my Father, and ye have unhonoured me.

⁵⁰ For I seek not my glory; there is he, that seeketh, and deemeth.

⁵¹ Truly, truly, I say to you, if any man keep my word, he shall not taste death without end. [Truly, truly, I say to you, if any man shall keep my word, he shall not see, or taste, death into without end.]

⁵² Therefore the Jews said, Now we have known, that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets, and thou sayest, If any man keep my word, he shall not taste death without end [he shall not taste death into without end].

⁵³ Whether thou art greater than our father Abraham, that is dead, and the prophets be dead; whom makest thou thyself?

⁵⁴ Jesus answered, If I glorify myself, my glory is nought; my Father is, that glorifieth me, whom ye say, that he is your God.

⁵⁵ And ye have not known him, but I have known him; and if I [shall] say that I know him not, I shall be a liar like to you; but I know him, and I keep his word.

⁵⁶ Abraham, your father, gladded to see my day [Abraham, your father, gladded, or full out joyed, that he should see my day]; and he saw, and joyed.

⁵⁷ Then the Jews said to him, Thou hast not yet fifty years, and hast thou seen Abraham?

⁵⁸ Therefore Jesus said to them, Truly, truly I say to you, before that Abraham should be, I am. [Therefore Jesus said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, before that Abraham was made, I am.]

⁵⁹ Therefore they took stones, to cast to him; but Jesus hid him(self), and went out of the temple.
