John 8 - UPDV Updated Bible Version

^8:1 []
^8:12 Again therefore Jesus spoke to them, saying, I am the light of the world: he who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.
^8:13 The Pharisees therefore said to him, You bear witness of yourself; your witness is not true.
^8:14 Jesus answered and said to them, Even if I bear witness of myself, my witness is true; for I know from where I came, and where I go; but you⁺ don't know from where I come, or where I go.
^8:15 You⁺ judge after the flesh; I judge no man.
^8:16 Yes and if I judge, my judgment is true; for I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me.
^8:17 Yes and in your⁺ law it is written, that the witness of two men is true.
^8:18 I am he who bears witness of myself, and the Father who sent me bears witness of me.
^8:19 They said therefore to him, Where is your Father? Jesus answered, You⁺ know neither me, nor my Father: if you⁺ knew me, you⁺ would know my Father also.
^8:20 These words he spoke in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man took him; because his hour was not yet come.
^8:21 He said therefore again to them, I go away, and you⁺ will seek me, and will die in your⁺ sin: where I go, you⁺ can't come.
^8:22 The Jews therefore said, Will he kill himself, that he says, Where I go, you⁺ can't come?
^8:23 And he said to them, You⁺ are from beneath; I am from above: you⁺ are of this world; I am not of this world.
^8:24 I said therefore to you⁺, that you⁺ will die in your⁺ sins: for except you⁺ believe that I am [he], you⁺ will die in your⁺ sins.
^8:25 They said therefore to him, Who are you? Jesus said to them, Even that which I have also spoken to you⁺ from the beginning.
^8:26 I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you⁺: nevertheless he who sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these I speak to the world.
^8:27 They didn't perceive that he spoke to them of the Father.
^8:28 Jesus therefore said to them, When you⁺ have lifted up the Son of Man, then you⁺ will know that I am [he], and [that] I do nothing of myself, but as the Father taught me, I speak these things.
^8:29 And he who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone; for I always do the things that are pleasing to him.
^8:30 As he spoke these things, many believed on him.
^8:31 Jesus therefore said to those Jews who had believed him, If you⁺ stay in my word, [then] you⁺ are truly my disciples;
^8:32 and you⁺ will know the truth, and the truth will make you⁺ free.
^8:33 They answered to him, We are Abraham's seed, and have never yet served as any man's slaves: how do you say, You⁺ will be made free?
^8:34 Jesus answered them, Truly, truly, I say to you⁺, Everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin.
^8:35 And the slave doesn't stay in the house forever: the son stays forever.
^8:36 If therefore the Son will make you⁺ free, you⁺ will be free indeed.
^8:37 I know that you⁺ are Abraham's seed; yet you⁺ seek to kill me, because my word has no place in you⁺.
^8:38 I speak the things which I have seen from the Father. And you⁺ therefore, [should] do the things which you⁺ heard from the Father.
^8:39 They answered and said to him, Our father is Abraham. Jesus says to them, If you⁺ were Abraham's children, you⁺ would be doing the works of Abraham.
^8:40 But now you⁺ seek to kill me, a man who has told you⁺ the truth, which I heard from God: Abraham did not do this.
^8:41 You⁺ do the works of your⁺ father. Therefore they said to him, We were not born of fornication; we have one Father, [even] God.
^8:42 Jesus said to them, If God were your⁺ Father, you⁺ would love me: for I came forth and have come from God; for neither have I come of myself, but he sent me.
^8:43 Why don't you⁺ understand my speech? [Even] because you⁺ can't hear my word.
^8:44 You⁺ are of the father the devil, and the desires of your⁺ father it is your⁺ will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and did not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of lies.
^8:45 But because I say the truth, you⁺ don't believe me.
^8:46 Which of you⁺ convicts me of sin? If I say truth, why don't you⁺ believe me?
^8:47 He who is of God hears the words of God: for this cause you⁺ do not hear [them], because you⁺ are not of God.
^8:48 The Jews answered and said to him, Do we not say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?
^8:49 Jesus answered, I do not have a demon; but I honor my Father, and you⁺ dishonor me.
^8:50 But I don't seek my own glory: there is one who seeks and judges.
^8:51 Truly, truly, I say to you⁺, If a man keeps my word, he will never see death.
^8:52 Therefore the Jews said to him, Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and you say, If a man keeps my word, he will never taste of death.
^8:53 Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? And the prophets died: whom do you make yourself?
^8:54 Jesus answered, If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing: it is my Father who glorifies me; of whom you⁺ say, He is our God;
^8:55 and you⁺ have not known him: but I know him; and if I should say, I don't know him, I will be like you⁺, a liar: but I know him, and keep his word.
^8:56 Your⁺ father Abraham rejoiced to see my day; and he saw it, and was glad.
^8:57 The Jews therefore said to him, You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?
^8:58 Jesus said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you⁺, Before Abraham was born, I am.
^8:59 They took up stones therefore to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple.
