1Jesus het egter na die Olyfberg gegaan.Ἰησοῦς δὲ ἐπορεύθη εἰς τὸ ὄρος τῶν Ἐλαιῶν.But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 2Maar vroegoggend het Hy weer in die tempel gekom, en die hele volk het na Hom gekom; en Hy het gaan sit en hulle geleer.Ὄρθρου δὲ πάλιν παρεγένετο εἰς τὸ ἱερόν, καὶ πᾶς ὁ λαὸς ἤρχετο· καὶ καθίσας ἐδίδασκεν αὐτούς.Early in the morning He went back into the temple courts. All the people came to Him, and He sat down to teach them. 3Die skrifgeleerdes en die Fariseërs bring toe 'n vrou na Hom wat in egbreuk betrap is; en nadat hulle haar in die middel laat staan het,ἄγουσιν δὲ οἱ γραμματεῖς καὶ οἱ Φαρισαῖοι πρὸς αὐτὸν γυναῖκα ἐν μοιχείᾳ καταλήφθεισαν· καὶ στήσαντες αὐτὴν ἐν μέσῳ,The scribes and Pharisees, however, brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before them 4sê hulle vir Hom, om Hom op die proef te stel: “Meester, hierdie vrou is op heterdaad betrap terwyl sy egbreuk pleeg.λέγουσιν αὐτῷ, πειράζοντες· Διδάσκαλε, αὕτη ἡ γυνὴ κατελήφθη ἐπʼ αὐτοφόρῳ μοιχευομένη.and said, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. 5In die wet het Moses ons beveel dat sulkes gestenig moet word. Wat sê U dan?”ἐν δὲ τῷ νόμῳ Μωσῆς ἡμῖν ἐνετείλατο τὰς τοιαύτας λιθοβολεῖσθαι· σὺ οὖν τί λέγεις;In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such a woman. So what do You say?” 6Dit het hulle gesê om Hom op die proef te stel, sodat hulle iets kon hê om Hom aan te kla. Maar Jesus het gebuk en met die vinger op die grond geskryf, sonder om Hom daaraan te steur.

Letterlik: sonder om voor te gee dat Hy hoor.

τοῦτο δὲ ἔλεγον πειράζοντες αὐτόν, ἵνα ἔχωσιν κατηγορεῖν αὐτοῦ. ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς κάτω κύψας, τῷ δακτύλῳ ἔγραφεν εἰς τὴν γῆν, μὴ προσποιούμενος.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. 7Toe hulle aanhou om Hom te vra, het Hy regop gekom en vir hulle gesê: “Die een van julle wat sonder sonde is, laat hy eerste die klip op haar gooi.”ὡς δὲ ἐπέμενον ἐρωτῶντες αὐτόν, ἀνακύψας εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτούς· Ὁ ἀναμάρτητος ὑμῶν, πρῶτον ἐπʼ αὐτὴν τὸν λίθον βαλέτω.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.” 8En weer het Hy gebuk en op die grond geskryf.καὶ πάλιν κάτω κύψας ἔγραφεν εἰς τὴν γῆν.And again He bent down and wrote on the ground. 9Maar toe hulle dit hoor en deur hulle gewete oortuig word, het hulle een vir een uitgegaan, van die oudstes af; en Jesus is alleen agtergelaat, met die vrou wat in die middel was.οἱ δέ, ἀκούσαντες, καὶ ὑπὸ τῆς συνειδήσεως ἐλεγχόμενοι, ἐξήρχοντο εἷς καθʼ εἷς, ἀρξάμενοι ἀπὸ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων· καὶ κατελείφθη μόνος ὁ Ἰησοῦς, καὶ ἡ γυνὴ ἐν μέσῳ οὖσα.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. 10Jesus het regop gekom, en toe Hy niemand sien behalwe die vrou nie, het Hy vir haar gesê: “Waar is daardie aanklaers van jou? Het niemand jou veroordeel nie?”ἀνακύψας δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς, καὶ μηδένα θεασάμενος πλὴν τὴς γυναικός, εἶπεν αὐτῇ· Ποῦ εἰσιν ἐκεῖνοι οἱ κατήγοροί σου; Οὐδείς σε κατέκρινεν;Then Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are your accusers? Has no one condemned you?” 11En sy sê: “Niemand nie, Here.” Toe sê Jesus: “Ek veroordeel jou ook nie. Gaan, en moenie meer sondig nie.”ἡ δὲ εἶπεν· Οὐδείς, κύριε. εἶπεν δὲ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· Οὐδὲ ἐγώ σε κρίνω· πορεύου καὶ μηκέτι ἁμάρτανε.⟧“No one, Lord,” she answered. “Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Now go and sin no more.”

12Weer het Jesus dan met hulle gepraat en gesê: “Ek is die lig van die wêreld; wie my volg, sal geensins in die duisternis wandel nie, maar sal die lig van die lewe hê.”Πάλιν οὖν αὐτοῖς ⸂ἐλάλησεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς⸃ λέγων· Ἐγώ εἰμι τὸ φῶς τοῦ κόσμου· ὁ ἀκολουθῶν ⸀ἐμοὶ οὐ μὴ περιπατήσῃ ἐν τῇ σκοτίᾳ, ἀλλʼ ἕξει τὸ φῶς τῆς ζωῆς.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.” 13Die Fariseërs sê toe vir Hom: “U getuig van Uself; U getuienis is nie waar nie.”εἶπον οὖν αὐτῷ οἱ Φαρισαῖοι· Σὺ περὶ σεαυτοῦ μαρτυρεῖς· ἡ μαρτυρία σου οὐκ ἔστιν ἀληθής.So the Pharisees said to Him, “You are testifying about Yourself; Your testimony is not valid.” 14Jesus het geantwoord en vir hulle gesê: “Selfs al getuig Ek van Myself, is My getuienis waar, want Ek weet waarvandaan Ek gekom het en waarheen Ek gaan; maar julle weet nie waarvandaan Ek kom of waarheen Ek gaan nie.ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· Κἂν ἐγὼ μαρτυρῶ περὶ ἐμαυτοῦ, ἀληθής ἐστιν ἡ μαρτυρία μου, ὅτι οἶδα πόθεν ἦλθον καὶ ποῦ ὑπάγω· ὑμεῖς δὲ οὐκ οἴδατε πόθεν ἔρχομαι ⸀ἢ ποῦ ὑπάγω.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. 15Julle oordeel volgens die vlees; Ek oordeel niemand nie.ὑμεῖς κατὰ τὴν σάρκα κρίνετε, ἐγὼ οὐ κρίνω οὐδένα.You judge according to the flesh; I judge no one. 16En selfs as Ek oordeel, is My oordeel waaragtig, want Ek is nie alleen nie, maar Ek en die Vader wat My gestuur het.καὶ ἐὰν κρίνω δὲ ἐγώ, ἡ κρίσις ἡ ἐμὴ ⸀ἀληθινή ἐστιν, ὅτι μόνος οὐκ εἰμί, ἀλλʼ ἐγὼ καὶ ὁ πέμψας με πατήρ.But even if I do judge, My judgment is true, because I am not alone; I am with the Father who sent Me. 17En ook in julle wet is geskryf dat die getuienis van twee mense waar is.

Aanhaling uit Deuteronomium 19:15.

καὶ ἐν τῷ νόμῳ δὲ τῷ ὑμετέρῳ γέγραπται ὅτι δύο ἀνθρώπων ἡ μαρτυρία ἀληθής ἐστιν.Even in your own Law it is written that the testimony of two men is valid. 18Ek is die een wat van Myself getuig, en die Vader wat My gestuur het, getuig van My.”ἐγώ εἰμι ὁ μαρτυρῶν περὶ ἐμαυτοῦ καὶ μαρτυρεῖ περὶ ἐμοῦ ὁ πέμψας με πατήρ.I am One who testifies about Myself, and the Father, who sent Me, also testifies about Me.” 19Hulle sê toe vir Hom: “Waar is U Vader?” Jesus het geantwoord: “Julle ken My nie en ook nie My Vader nie. As julle My geken het, sou julle ook My Vader geken het.”ἔλεγον οὖν αὐτῷ· Ποῦ ἐστιν ὁ πατήρ σου; ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς· Οὔτε ἐμὲ οἴδατε οὔτε τὸν πατέρα μου· εἰ ἐμὲ ᾔδειτε, καὶ τὸν πατέρα μου ⸂ἂν ᾔδειτε⸃.“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.” 20Hierdie woorde het Hy gespreek by die skatkamer, terwyl Hy in die tempel geleer het; en niemand het Hom gegryp nie, want Sy uur het nog nie gekom nie.ταῦτα τὰ ῥήματα ⸀ἐλάλησεν ἐν τῷ γαζοφυλακίῳ διδάσκων ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ· καὶ οὐδεὶς ἐπίασεν αὐτόν, ὅτι οὔπω ἐληλύθει ἡ ὥρα αὐτοῦ.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.

21Hy het toe weer vir hulle gesê: “Ek gaan weg, en julle sal My soek, en julle sal in julle sonde sterf. Waar Ek heengaan, kan julle nie kom nie.”Εἶπεν οὖν πάλιν ⸀αὐτοῖς· Ἐγὼ ὑπάγω καὶ ζητήσετέ με, καὶ ἐν τῇ ἁμαρτίᾳ ὑμῶν ἀποθανεῖσθε· ὅπου ἐγὼ ὑπάγω ὑμεῖς οὐ δύνασθε ἐλθεῖν.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.” 22Die Jode sê toe: “Hy sal tog nie Homself doodmaak nie, dat Hy sê: ‘Waar Ek heengaan, kan julle nie kom nie’?”ἔλεγον οὖν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι· Μήτι ἀποκτενεῖ ἑαυτὸν ὅτι λέγει· Ὅπου ἐγὼ ὑπάγω ὑμεῖς οὐ δύνασθε ἐλθεῖν;So the Jews began to ask, “Will He kill Himself, since He says, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come’?” 23En Hy het vir hulle gesê: “Julle is van benede, ek is van bo; julle is uit hierdie wêreld, ek is nie uit hierdie wêreld nie.καὶ ⸀ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς· Ὑμεῖς ἐκ τῶν κάτω ἐστέ, ἐγὼ ἐκ τῶν ἄνω εἰμί· ὑμεῖς ἐκ ⸂τούτου τοῦ κόσμου⸃ ἐστέ, ἐγὼ οὐκ εἰμὶ ἐκ τοῦ κόσμου τούτου.Then He told them, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world. 24Daarom het Ek vir julle gesê dat julle in julle sondes sal sterf; want as julle nie glo dat Ek is nie, sal julle in julle sondes sterf.”

Of: dat dit Ek is.

εἶπον οὖν ὑμῖν ὅτι ἀποθανεῖσθε ἐν ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις ὑμῶν· ἐὰν γὰρ μὴ πιστεύσητε ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι, ἀποθανεῖσθε ἐν ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις ὑμῶν.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.” 25Hulle sê toe vir Hom: “Wie is U?” Jesus sê vir hulle: “Waarom praat Ek hoegenaamd nog met julle?

Of: Juis dit wat Ek van die begin af vir julle sê.

ἔλεγον οὖν αὐτῷ· Σὺ τίς εἶ; ⸀εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· Τὴν ἀρχὴν ⸂ὅ τι⸃ καὶ λαλῶ ὑμῖν;“Who are You?” they asked. “Just what I have been telling you from the beginning,” Jesus replied. 26Ek het baie dinge om oor julle te sê en te oordeel; maar Hy wat My gestuur het, is waar, en wat Ek van Hom gehoor het, dit spreek Ek tot die wêreld.”πολλὰ ἔχω περὶ ὑμῶν λαλεῖν καὶ κρίνειν· ἀλλʼ ὁ πέμψας με ἀληθής ἐστιν, κἀγὼ ἃ ἤκουσα παρʼ αὐτοῦ ταῦτα ⸀λαλῶ εἰς τὸν κόσμον.“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.” 27Hulle het nie begryp dat Hy met hulle van die Vader gepraat het nie.οὐκ ἔγνωσαν ὅτι τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῖς ἔλεγεν.They did not understand that He was telling them about the Father. 28Jesus sê toe: “Wanneer julle die Seun van die mens verhoog het, dan sal julle weet dat Ek is, en dat Ek niks uit Myself doen nie, maar soos die Vader My geleer het, so spreek Ek hierdie dinge.

Of: dat dit Ek is.

εἶπεν ⸀οὖν ὁ Ἰησοῦς· Ὅταν ὑψώσητε τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ ἀνθρώπου, τότε γνώσεσθε ὅτι ἐγώ εἰμι, καὶ ἀπʼ ἐμαυτοῦ ποιῶ οὐδέν, ἀλλὰ καθὼς ἐδίδαξέν με ὁ ⸀πατὴρ ταῦτα λαλῶ.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. 29En Hy wat My gestuur het, is met My; Hy het My nie alleen gelaat nie, want Ek doen altyd wat Hom behaag.”

Sommige manuskripte lees: die Vader het My nie verlaat nie.

καὶ ὁ πέμψας με μετʼ ἐμοῦ ἐστιν· οὐκ ἀφῆκέν με ⸀μόνον, ὅτι ἐγὼ τὰ ἀρεστὰ αὐτῷ ποιῶ πάντοτε.He who sent Me is with Me. He has not left Me alone, because I always do what pleases Him.” 30Terwyl Hy hierdie dinge gespreek het, het baie in Hom geglo.ταῦτα αὐτοῦ λαλοῦντος πολλοὶ ἐπίστευσαν εἰς αὐτόν.As Jesus spoke these things, many believed in Him.

31Jesus het toe vir die Jode wat Hom geglo het, gesê: “As julle in My woord bly, is julle waarlik My dissipels,Ἔλεγεν οὖν ὁ Ἰησοῦς πρὸς τοὺς πεπιστευκότας αὐτῷ Ἰουδαίους· Ἐὰν ὑμεῖς μείνητε ἐν τῷ λόγῳ τῷ ἐμῷ, ἀληθῶς μαθηταί μού ἐστε,So He said to the Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, you are truly My disciples. 32en julle sal die waarheid ken, en die waarheid sal julle vrymaak.”καὶ γνώσεσθε τὴν ἀλήθειαν, καὶ ἡ ἀλήθεια ἐλευθερώσει ὑμᾶς.Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” 33Hulle het Hom geantwoord: “Ons is Abraham se nageslag en was nog nooit iemand se slawe nie. Hoe sê U: ‘Julle sal vry word’?”

Letterlik: Abraham se saad.

ἀπεκρίθησαν ⸂πρὸς αὐτόν⸃· Σπέρμα Ἀβραάμ ἐσμεν καὶ οὐδενὶ δεδουλεύκαμεν πώποτε· πῶς σὺ λέγεις ὅτι Ἐλεύθεροι γενήσεσθε;“We are Abraham’s descendants,” they answered. “We have never been slaves to anyone. How can You say we will be set free?” 34Jesus het hulle geantwoord: “Voorwaar, voorwaar Ek sê vir julle: Elkeen wat die sonde doen, is 'n slaaf van die sonde.Ἀπεκρίθη αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· Ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι πᾶς ὁ ποιῶν τὴν ἁμαρτίαν δοῦλός ἐστιν τῆς ἁμαρτίας·Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. 35Maar die slaaf bly nie vir ewig in die huis nie; die seun bly vir ewig.ὁ δὲ δοῦλος οὐ μένει ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα· ⸀ὁ υἱὸς μένει εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.A slave does not remain in the house forever, but a son remains forever. 36As die Seun julle dan vrymaak, sal julle werklik vry wees.ἐὰν οὖν ὁ υἱὸς ὑμᾶς ἐλευθερώσῃ, ὄντως ἐλεύθεροι ἔσεσθε.So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. 37Ek weet dat julle Abraham se nageslag is; maar julle probeer My doodmaak, omdat My woord geen plek in julle vind nie.

Of: omdat My woord nie in julle vorder nie.

οἶδα ὅτι σπέρμα Ἀβραάμ ἐστε· ἀλλὰ ζητεῖτέ με ἀποκτεῖναι, ὅτι ὁ λόγος ὁ ἐμὸς οὐ χωρεῖ ἐν ὑμῖν.I know you are Abraham’s descendants, but you are trying to kill Me because My word has no place within you. 38Wat ek by die Vader gesien het, spreek ek; en julle doen dan ook wat julle by die vader gehoor het.”

Sommige manuskripte lees: Ek spreek wat ek by my Vader gesien het; en julle doen dan ook wat julle by julle vader gesien het.

⸂ἃ ἐγὼ⸃ ἑώρακα παρὰ τῷ ⸀πατρὶ λαλῶ· καὶ ὑμεῖς οὖν ⸂ἃ ἠκούσατε⸃ παρὰ ⸂τοῦ πατρὸς⸃ ποιεῖτε.I speak of what I have seen in the presence of the Father, and you do what you have heard from your father.” 39Hulle het geantwoord en vir Hom gesê: “Ons vader is Abraham.” Jesus sê vir hulle: “As julle Abraham se kinders is, sou julle die werke van Abraham doen.

Sommige manuskripte lees: As julle Abraham se kinders was, sou julle die werke van Abraham gedoen het.

Ἀπεκρίθησαν καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ· Ὁ πατὴρ ἡμῶν Ἀβραάμ ἐστιν. λέγει αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· Εἰ τέκνα τοῦ Ἀβραάμ ⸀ἐστε, τὰ ἔργα τοῦ Ἀβραὰμ ⸀ἐποιεῖτε·“Abraham is our father,” they replied. “If you were children of Abraham,” said Jesus, “you would do the works of Abraham. 40Maar nou probeer julle My doodmaak, 'n mens wat vir julle die waarheid gespreek het wat Ek van God gehoor het. Dit het Abraham nie gedoen nie.νῦν δὲ ζητεῖτέ με ἀποκτεῖναι, ἄνθρωπον ὃς τὴν ἀλήθειαν ὑμῖν λελάληκα ἣν ἤκουσα παρὰ τοῦ θεοῦ· τοῦτο Ἀβραὰμ οὐκ ἐποίησεν.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. 41Julle doen die werke van julle vader.” Hulle sê vir Hom: “Ons is nie uit onsedelikheid gebore nie; ons het een Vader, God.”

Letterlik: uit hoerery.

ὑμεῖς ποιεῖτε τὰ ἔργα τοῦ πατρὸς ὑμῶν. ⸀εἶπαν αὐτῷ· Ἡμεῖς ἐκ πορνείας ⸂οὐ γεγεννήμεθα⸃· ἕνα πατέρα ἔχομεν τὸν θεόν.You are doing the works of your father.” “We are not illegitimate children,” they declared. “Our only Father is God Himself.” 42Jesus sê vir hulle: “As God julle Vader was, sou julle My liefhê, want Ek het van God uitgegaan en gekom; want Ek het ook nie uit Myself gekom nie, maar Hy het My gestuur.⸀εἶπεν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· Εἰ ὁ θεὸς πατὴρ ὑμῶν ἦν ἠγαπᾶτε ἂν ἐμέ, ἐγὼ γὰρ ἐκ τοῦ θεοῦ ἐξῆλθον καὶ ἥκω· οὐδὲ γὰρ ἀπʼ ἐμαυτοῦ ἐλήλυθα, ἀλλʼ ἐκεῖνός με ἀπέστειλεν.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. 43Waarom verstaan julle nie my spraak nie? Omdat julle nie my woord kan hoor nie.διὰ τί τὴν λαλιὰν τὴν ἐμὴν οὐ γινώσκετε; ὅτι οὐ δύνασθε ἀκούειν τὸν λόγον τὸν ἐμόν.Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you are unable to accept My message. 44Julle is uit die vader, die duiwel, en julle wil die begeertes van julle vader doen. Daardie een was 'n mensemoordenaar van die begin af en staan nie in die waarheid nie, omdat daar geen waarheid in hom is nie. Wanneer hy die leuen praat, praat hy uit sy eie, omdat hy 'n leuenaar is en die vader daarvan.

Of: omdat hy 'n leuenaar is en sy vader ook.

ὑμεῖς ἐκ τοῦ πατρὸς τοῦ διαβόλου ἐστὲ καὶ τὰς ἐπιθυμίας τοῦ πατρὸς ὑμῶν θέλετε ποιεῖν. ἐκεῖνος ἀνθρωποκτόνος ἦν ἀπʼ ἀρχῆς, καὶ ἐν τῇ ἀληθείᾳ ⸂οὐκ ἔστηκεν⸃, ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ἀλήθεια ἐν αὐτῷ. ὅταν λαλῇ τὸ ψεῦδος, ἐκ τῶν ἰδίων λαλεῖ, ὅτι ψεύστης ἐστὶν καὶ ὁ πατὴρ αὐτοῦ.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. 45Maar omdat Ek die waarheid sê, glo julle My nie.ἐγὼ δὲ ὅτι τὴν ἀλήθειαν λέγω, οὐ πιστεύετέ μοι.But because I speak the truth, you do not believe Me! 46Wie van julle oortuig My van sonde? As Ek die waarheid sê, waarom glo julle My nie?τίς ἐξ ὑμῶν ἐλέγχει με περὶ ἁμαρτίας; ⸀εἰ ἀλήθειαν λέγω, διὰ τί ὑμεῖς οὐ πιστεύετέ μοι;Which of you can prove Me guilty of sin? If I speak the truth, why do you not believe Me? 47Wie uit God is, hoor die woorde van God; daarom hoor julle nie, omdat julle nie uit God is nie.”ὁ ὢν ἐκ τοῦ θεοῦ τὰ ῥήματα τοῦ θεοῦ ἀκούει· διὰ τοῦτο ὑμεῖς οὐκ ἀκούετε ὅτι ἐκ τοῦ θεοῦ οὐκ ἐστέ.Whoever belongs to God hears the words of God. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.”

48Die Jode het geantwoord en vir Hom gesê: “Sê ons nie tereg dat U 'n Samaritaan is en 'n demoon het nie?”⸀Ἀπεκρίθησαν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ· Οὐ καλῶς λέγομεν ἡμεῖς ὅτι Σαμαρίτης εἶ σὺ καὶ δαιμόνιον ἔχεις;The Jews answered Him, “Are we not right to say that You are a Samaritan and You have a demon?” 49Jesus het geantwoord: “Ek het nie 'n demoon nie, maar Ek eer My Vader, en julle onteer My.ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς· Ἐγὼ δαιμόνιον οὐκ ἔχω, ἀλλὰ τιμῶ τὸν πατέρα μου, καὶ ὑμεῖς ἀτιμάζετέ με.“I do not have a demon,” Jesus replied, “but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me. 50Maar ek soek nie my heerlikheid nie; daar is Een wat soek en oordeel.ἐγὼ δὲ οὐ ζητῶ τὴν δόξαν μου· ἔστιν ὁ ζητῶν καὶ κρίνων.I do not seek My own glory. There is One who seeks it, and He is the Judge. 51Voorwaar, voorwaar Ek sê vir julle: As iemand My woord bewaar, sal hy tot in ewigheid die dood nie sien nie.”ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, ἐάν τις τὸν ⸂ἐμὸν λόγον⸃ τηρήσῃ, θάνατον οὐ μὴ θεωρήσῃ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα.Truly, truly, I tell you, if anyone keeps My word, he will never see death.” 52Die Jode sê vir Hom: “Nou weet ons dat U 'n demoon het. Abraham het gesterf, en die profete, en U sê: ‘As iemand My woord bewaar, sal hy tot in ewigheid die dood nie smaak nie.’⸀εἶπον αὐτῷ οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι· Νῦν ἐγνώκαμεν ὅτι δαιμόνιον ἔχεις. Ἀβραὰμ ἀπέθανεν καὶ οἱ προφῆται, καὶ σὺ λέγεις· Ἐάν τις τὸν λόγον μου τηρήσῃ, οὐ μὴ γεύσηται θανάτου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα·“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. 53Is U dan groter as ons vader Abraham, wat gesterf het? En die profete het gesterf. Wie maak U Uself?”μὴ σὺ μείζων εἶ τοῦ πατρὸς ἡμῶν Ἀβραάμ, ὅστις ἀπέθανεν; καὶ οἱ προφῆται ἀπέθανον· τίνα ⸀σεαυτὸν ποιεῖς;Are You greater than our father Abraham? He died, as did the prophets. Who do You claim to be?” 54Jesus het geantwoord: “As ek myself verheerlik, is my heerlikheid niks nie; dit is my Vader wat my verheerlik, van wie julle sê dat Hy ons God is,

Sommige manuskripte lees: van wie julle sê dat Hy julle God is.

ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς· Ἐὰν ἐγὼ ⸀δοξάσω ἐμαυτόν, ἡ δόξα μου οὐδέν ἐστιν· ἔστιν ὁ πατήρ μου ὁ δοξάζων με, ὃν ὑμεῖς λέγετε ὅτι θεὸς ⸀ἡμῶν ἐστιν,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.’ 55en julle ken Hom nie, maar Ek ken Hom; en as Ek sê dat Ek Hom nie ken nie, sal Ek soos julle 'n leuenaar wees. Maar Ek ken Hom en Ek bewaar Sy woord.καὶ οὐκ ἐγνώκατε αὐτόν, ἐγὼ δὲ οἶδα αὐτόν· κἂν εἴπω ὅτι οὐκ οἶδα αὐτόν, ἔσομαι ὅμοιος ⸀ὑμῖν ψεύστης· ἀλλὰ οἶδα αὐτὸν καὶ τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ τηρῶ.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. 56Abraham, julle vader, het hom verheug dat hy My dag sou sien, en hy het dit gesien en hom verbly.”Ἀβραὰμ ὁ πατὴρ ὑμῶν ἠγαλλιάσατο ἵνα ἴδῃ τὴν ἡμέραν τὴν ἐμήν, καὶ εἶδεν καὶ ἐχάρη.Your father Abraham rejoiced that he would see My day. He saw it and was glad.” 57Die Jode sê toe vir Hom: “U is nog nie 50 jaar oud nie, en het U Abraham gesien?”εἶπον οὖν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι πρὸς αὐτόν· Πεντήκοντα ἔτη οὔπω ἔχεις καὶ Ἀβραὰμ ἑώρακας;Then the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and You have seen Abraham?” 58Jesus sê vir hulle: “Voorwaar, voorwaar Ek sê vir julle: Voordat Abraham gebore is, is Ek.”

Letterlik: voordat Abraham geword het.

εἶπεν ⸀αὐτοῖς Ἰησοῦς· Ἀμὴν ἀμὴν λέγω ὑμῖν, πρὶν Ἀβραὰμ γενέσθαι ἐγὼ εἰμί.“Truly, truly, I tell you,” Jesus declared, “before Abraham was born, I am! ” 59Hulle het dan klippe opgetel om na Hom te gooi; maar Jesus het Hom weggesteek en uit die tempel uitgegaan.

Sommige manuskripte lees: ... uit die tempel uitgegaan, deur die middel van hulle gegaan en so verbygegaan.

ἦραν οὖν λίθους ἵνα βάλωσιν ἐπʼ αὐτόν· Ἰησοῦς δὲ ἐκρύβη καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ἐκ τοῦ ⸀ἱεροῦ.At this, they picked up stones to throw at Him. But Jesus was hidden and went out of the temple area.
