Themes in John 8

John 8:1

But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.

John 8:2

At dawn He went to the temple complex again, and all the people were coming to Him. He sat down and began to teach them.

John 8:3

Then the scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman caught in adultery, making her stand in the center.

John 8:4

“Teacher,” they said to Him, “this woman was caught in the act of committing adultery.

John 8:5

In the law Moses commanded us to stone such women. So what do You say?”

John 8:6

They asked this to trap Him, in order that they might have evidence to accuse Him.

Jesus stooped down and started writing on the ground with His finger.

John 8:7

When they persisted in questioning Him, He stood up and said to them, “The one without sin among you should be the first to throw a stone at her.”

John 8:8

Then He stooped down again and continued writing on the ground.

John 8:9

When they heard this, they left one by one, starting with the older men. Only He was left, with the woman in the center.

John 8:10

When Jesus stood up, He said to her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”

John 8:11

“No one, Lord,” she answered.

“Neither do I condemn you,” said Jesus. “Go, and from now on do not sin anymore.”]

John 8:12

Then Jesus spoke to them again: “I am the light of the world. Anyone who follows Me will never walk in the darkness but will have the light of life.”

John 8:13

So the Pharisees said to Him, “You are testifying about Yourself. Your testimony is not valid.”

John 8:14

“Even if I testify about Myself,” Jesus replied, “My testimony is valid, because I know where I came from and where I’m going. But you don’t know where I come from or where I’m going.

John 8:15

You judge by human standards. I judge no one.

John 8:16

And if I do judge, My judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent Me judge together.

John 8:17

Even in your law it is written that the witness of two men is valid.

John 8:18

I am the One who testifies about Myself, and the Father who sent Me testifies about Me.”

John 8:19

Then they asked Him, “Where is Your Father?”

“You know neither Me nor My Father,” Jesus answered. “If you knew Me, you would also know My Father.”

John 8:20

He spoke these words by the treasury, while teaching in the temple complex. But no one seized Him, because His hour had not come.

John 8:21

Then He said to them again, “I’m going away; you will look for Me, and you will die in your sin. Where I’m going, you cannot come.”

John 8:22

So the Jews said again, “He won’t kill Himself, will He, since He says, ‘Where I’m going, you cannot come’?”

John 8:23

“You are from below,” He told them, “I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.

John 8:24

Therefore I told you that you will die in your sins. For if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.”

John 8:25

“Who are You?” they questioned.

“Precisely what I’ve been telling you from the very beginning,” Jesus told them.

John 8:26

“I have many things to say and to judge about you, but the One who sent Me is true, and what I have heard from Him—these things I tell the world.”

John 8:27

They did not know He was speaking to them about the Father.

John 8:28

So Jesus said to them, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing on My own. But just as the Father taught Me, I say these things.

John 8:29

The One who sent Me is with Me. He has not left Me alone, because I always do what pleases Him.”

John 8:30

As He was saying these things, many believed in Him.

John 8:31

So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, you really are My disciples.

John 8:32

You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

John 8:33

“We are descendants of Abraham,” they answered Him, “and we have never been enslaved to anyone. How can You say, ‘You will become free’?”

John 8:34

Jesus responded, “I assure you: Everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin.

John 8:35

A slave does not remain in the household forever, but a son does remain forever.

John 8:36

Therefore, if the Son sets you free, you really will be free.

John 8:37

I know you are descendants of Abraham, but you are trying to kill Me because My word is not welcome among you.

John 8:38

I speak what I have seen in the presence of the Father; therefore, you do what you have heard from your father.”

John 8:39

“Our father is Abraham!” they replied.

“If you were Abraham’s children,” Jesus told them, “you would do what Abraham did.

John 8:40

But now you are trying to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham did not do this!

John 8:41

You’re doing what your father does.”

“We weren’t born of sexual immorality,” they said. “We have one Father—God.”

John 8:42

Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, because I came from God and I am here. For I didn’t come on My own, but He sent Me.

John 8:43

Why don’t you understand what I say? Because you cannot listen to My word.

John 8:44

You are of your father the Devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning and has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he speaks from his own nature, because he is a liar and the father of liars.

John 8:45

Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me.

John 8:46

Who among you can convict Me of sin? If I tell the truth, why don’t you believe Me?

John 8:47

The one who is from God listens to God’s words. This is why you don’t listen, because you are not from God.”

John 8:48

The Jews responded to Him, “Aren’t we right in saying that You’re a Samaritan and have a demon?”

John 8:49

“I do not have a demon,” Jesus answered. “On the contrary, I honor My Father and you dishonor Me.

John 8:50

I do not seek My glory; the One who seeks it also judges.

John 8:51

I assure you: If anyone keeps My word, he will never see death—ever!”

John 8:52

Then the Jews said, “Now we know You have a demon. Abraham died and so did the prophets. You say, ‘If anyone keeps My word, he will never taste death—ever!’

John 8:53

Are You greater than our father Abraham who died? Even the prophets died. Who do You pretend to be?”

John 8:54

“If I glorify Myself,” Jesus answered, “My glory is nothing. My Father—you say about Him, ‘He is our God’—He is the One who glorifies Me.

John 8:55

You’ve never known Him, but I know Him. If I were to say I don’t know Him, I would be a liar like you. But I do know Him, and I keep His word.

John 8:56

Your father Abraham was overjoyed that he would see My day; he saw it and rejoiced.”

John 8:57

The Jews replied, “You aren’t 50 years old yet, and You’ve seen Abraham?”

John 8:58

Jesus said to them, “I assure you: Before Abraham was, I am.”

John 8:59

At that, they picked up stones to throw at Him. But Jesus was hidden and went out of the temple complex.
