JUAN 8

Ang Babaye nga Nasakpan nga Nanapaw

1 Miadto si Jesus sa Bukid sa mga Olibo.2 Sayo nianang pagkabuntag, mibalik siya pag-usab sa templo. Daghan ang mga tawo nga miduol kaniya. Busa milingkod siya ug nagtudlo kanila.3 Unya, ang mga magtutudlo sa Kasugoan ug ang mga Pariseo nagdala ngadto kang Jesus ug usa ka babayeng nasakpan nga nanapaw ug gipatindog nila siya atubangan sa tanan nga mga tawo.4 Miingon dayon sila kang Jesus,5 Sumala sa Kasugoan ni Moises, ang ingon niini nga matang sa babaye angay batohon hangtod mamatay. Unsay imong ikasulti?"6 Mao kadto ang ilang pangutana tungod kay ginasulayan lang nila si Jesus, aron nga kon masayop siya sa iyang tubag may isumbong sila batok kaniya. Apan ang gihimo ni Jesus, miduko siya ug misulat sa yuta pinaagi sa iyang tudlo.7 Apan tungod kay sige gihapon silag pangutana kaniya, mitindog si Jesus ug miingon kanila,

8 Human niyag sulti niadto, milingkod siya ug miduko ug misulat pag-usab sa yuta.
9 Sa pagkadungog niadto sa mga magtutudlo sa Kasugoan ug sa mga Pariseo, tagsa-tagsa silang mibiya sugod sa mga tigulang, hangtod nga si Jesus na lang ang nahibilin ug ang babaye nga nagtindog pa didto.10 Mitindog si Jesus ug miingon sa babaye,

11 Miingon ang babaye, Miingon si Jesus kaniya,

Si Jesus mao ang Suga sa Kalibotan

12 Misulti pag-usab si Jesus sa mga tawo,13 Pagkadungog niadto sa mga Pariseo, miingon sila,14 Miingon si Jesus kanila,15 Ang inyong paghukom dili kasaligan tungod kay sumala lang kana sa tawhanong panghunahuna. Apan ako wala maghukom kang bisan kinsa.16 Ug kon maghukom man ako, ang akong hukom husto, tungod kay dili lang ako ang maghukom kondili ako ug ang Amahan nga nagpadala kanako.17 Dili ba nahisulat man sa inyong Kasugoan nga kon magkatukma ang gisulti sa duha ka tawo, ang ilang gisulti tinuod?18 Ako nagapamatuod mahitungod sa akong kaugalingon ug ang Amahan nga nagpadala kanako nagapamatuod usab mahitungod kanako."

19 Nangutana ang mga Pariseo kaniya, Mitubag si Jesus,

20 Kining tanan gisulti ni Jesus sa dihang nagtudlo siya sa templo, duol sa gibutangan sa kuwarta. Apan walay midakop kaniya, kay wala pa man moabot ang iyang panahon.

Si Jesus Dili Taga-dinhi sa Kalibotan

21 Misulti pag-usab si Jesus sa mga tigdumala sa mga Judio,22  Busa nagpangutan-anay sila, + 8:22 sila: Sa literal, ang mga Judio. 23 Miingon si Jesus kanila,24 Mao nga miingon ako kaninyo nga mangamatay lang kamo nga nagpadayon sa pagpakasala. Kay kon dili kamo motuo nga ako mao ang Cristo, sigurado gayod nga mangamatay lang kamo nga nagpadayon sa pagpakasala."25 Miingon sila, Mitubag si Jesus,

26 Daghan ang akong ikasulti batok kaninyo. Sa pagkatinuod, ang akong mga ginasulti ngadto sa mga tawo mao lang ang ginasulti kanako sa nagpadala kanako. Ug ang tanan niyang ginasulti tinuod."
27 Wala sila makasabot nga nagsulti siya kanila mahitungod sa Amahan.28 Busa miingon si Jesus kanila,29 Ang nagpadala kanako nagauban kanako ug wala gayod niya ako pasagdi, tungod kay kon unsay makalipay kaniya mao usab ang akong ginabuhat kanunay."

30 Pagkadungog sa mga tawo niining mga gisulti ni Jesus, daghan kanila ang mituo kaniya.

Ang Kamatuoran nga Makahatag Kaninyo ug Kagawasan

31 Unya, miingon si Jesus sa mga Judio nga mituo kaniya,32 Masayran ninyo ang kamatuoran, ug ang kamatuoran mao ang maghatag kaninyo ug kagawasan."33 Miingon sila kaniya,34 Miingon si Jesus,35 Ang ulipon lumalabay lang sa panimalay, apan ang anak permanente.36  Busa kon ang Anak sa Dios mao ang maghatag kaninyo ug kagawasan, gawasnon gayod kamo.37 Nahibalo ako nga mga kaliwat kamo ni Abraham, apan nagtinguha kamo sa pagpatay kanako tungod kay dili kamo modawat sa akong mga gitudlo.

38 Ginasulti ko kaninyo ang akong mga nakita sa Amahan; apan kamo, ginahimo ninyo ang inyong nadunggan gikan sa inyong amahan."
39 Mitubag sila kang Jesus, Miingon si Jesus,40 Apan nagtinguha hinuon kamo sa pagpatay kanako bisan nagsulti lamang ako kaninyo sa kamatuoran nga akong nadunggan gikan sa Dios. Si Abraham wala gayod magbuhat ug sama niining inyong ginabuhat.41 Ang inyong ginabuhat sama usab sa ginabuhat sa inyong amahan." Miingon sila,42 Miingon si Jesus kanila,43 Dili ninyo masabtan ang akong gipanulti tungod kay dili kamo makaantos sa pagpaminaw sa akong pulong.44 Si Satanas mao ang inyong amahan, ug kon unsa ang iyang gusto mao usab ang inyong gustong buhaton. Mamumuno siya sukad pa sa sinugdan. Wala siyay pagpakabana sa kamatuoran tungod kay wala gayoy kamatuoran diha kaniya. Kon mamakak siya, nagsunod lang siya sa iyang kinaiya, kay bakakon man siya ug siya mao ang gigikanan sa tanang bakak.45 Apan ang akong ginasulti kaninyo mao ang kamatuoran, ug mao kana nga dili kamo motuo kanako.46  Kinsa ba kaninyo ang makapamatuod nga nakasala ako? Wala gayod! Nganong dili kamo motuo nga nagasulti man ako sa kamatuoran?

47 Ang mga tawo nga iya sa Dios nagatuo sa pulong sa Dios. Apan dili kamo iya sa Dios, mao nga dili kamo motuo kanako."

Si Jesus ug si Abraham

48  Mitubag kang Jesus ang mga kadagkoan sa mga Judio,49 Miingon si Jesus,50  Wala ako magtinguha ug kadungganan alang sa akong kaugalingon. Ang Amahan mao ang nagtinguha nga pasidunggan ako sa mga tawo, ug nahibaloan niya nga tinuod ang akong mga gipanulti.51 Sa pagkatinuod, sultihan ko kamo nga ang mga nagatuman sa akong mga pagpanudlo dili gayod mamatay."52  Miingon kaniya ang mga kadagkoan sa mga Judio,53 Unsa, mas maayo ka pa ba kay kang Abraham? Namatay gani siya, ug ingon man ang mga propeta. Ngano, si kinsa ka ba gayod?"54 Miingon si Jesus kanila,55 Ugaling wala ninyo siya mailhi. Apan ako nakaila kaniya. Karon, kon moingon ako nga wala ako makaila kaniya, mahimo akong bakakon sama kaninyo. Apan ang tinuod, nailhan ko gayod siya ug ginatuman ko ang iyang pulong.56 Nalipay gayod ang inyong amahan nga si Abraham nga makita niya ang akong panahon. Ug nakita niya kini ug nalipay gayod siya."57  Miingon ang mga kadagkoan sa mga Judio kaniya,58 Miingon si Jesus,59 Tungod niining gisulti ni Jesus mipunit silag bato aron labayon siya. Apan misuot siya sa bagang duot sa katawhan ug mibiya sa templo.

John 8

A Woman Caught in Adultery

1 But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.s2 Early in the morning he came to the temple courts again. All the people came to him, and he sat down and began to teacht them.3 The experts in the lawt and the Phariseess brought a woman who had been caught committing adultery. They made her stand in front of them4 and said to Jesus,t “Teacher, this woman was caught in the very act of adultery.5 In the law Moses commanded us to stone to deaths such women.s What then do you say?”6 (Now they were asking this in an attempt to trap him, so that they could bring charges againstt him.)s Jesus bent down and wrote on the ground with his finger.t7 When they persisted in asking him, he stood up straightt and replied,t “Whoever among you is guiltlesst may be the first to throw a stone at her.”

8 Thent he bent over again and wrote on the ground.
9 Now when they heard this, they began to drift away one at a time, starting with the older ones,t until Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him.10 Jesus stood up straightt and said to her, “Woman,s where are they? Did no one condemn you?”

11 She replied, “No one, Lord.” And Jesus said, “I do not condemn you either. Go, and from now on do not sin any more.”]]ss

Jesus as the Light of the World

12 Then Jesus spoke out again,t “I am the light of the world.s The one who follows me will nevert walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”13 So the Phariseess objected,t “You testify about yourself; your testimony is not true!”s14 Jesus answered,t “Even if I testify about myself, my testimony is true, because I know where I came from and where I am going. But you peoplet do not know where I came from or where I am going.s15 You peoplet judge by outward appearances;t I do not judge anyone.s16 But if I judge, my evaluation is accurate,t because I am not alone when I judge,t but I and the Father who sent me do so together.t17 It is written in your law that the testimony of two men is true.s

18 I testify about myselft and the Father who sent me testifies about me.”
19 Then they began askingt him, “Who is your father?” Jesus answered, “You do not know either me or my Father. If you knew me you would know my Father too.”s

20 (Jesust spoke these words near the offering boxtss while he was teaching in the temple courts.t No one seized him because his timet had not yet come.)s

Where Jesus Came From and Where He is Going

21 Then Jesust said to them again,t “I am going away, and you will look for met but will die in your sin.t Where I am going you cannot come.”22 So the Jewish leaderst began to say,t “Perhaps he is going to kill himself, because he says, ‘Where I am going you cannot come.’”23 Jesus replied,t “You peoplet are from below; I am from above. You people are from this world; I am not from this world.

24 Thus I told yout that you will die in your sins. For unless you believe that I am he,ts you will die in your sins.”
25 So they said to him, “Who are you?” Jesus replied,t “What I have told you from the beginning.26 I have many things to say and to judget about you, but the Fathert who sent me is truthful,t and the things I have heard from him I speak to the world.”t

27 (They did not understand that he was telling them about his Father.)s
28 Then Jesus said,t “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he,t and I do nothing on my own initiative,t but I speak just what the Father taught me.t29 And the one who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone,t because I always do those things that please him.”

30 While he was saying these things, many peoplet believed in him.

Abraham’s Children and the Devil’s Children

31 Then Jesus said to those Judeanst who had believed him, “If you continue to follow my teaching,t you are reallyt my disciples32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”ts33 “We are descendantst of Abraham,” they replied,t “and have never been anyone’s slaves! How can you say,t ‘You will become free’?”34 Jesus answered them, “I tell you the solemn truth,t everyone who practicest sin is a slavet of sin.35 The slave does not remain in the familyt forever, but the son remains forever.s36 So if the sont sets you free, you will be really free.37 I know that you are Abraham’s descendants.t But you wantt to kill me, because my teachingt makes no progress among you.t

38 I am telling you the things I have seen while with thes Father;t as for you,t practice the things you have heard from thes Father!”
39 They answered him,t “Abraham is our father!”t Jesus replied,t “If you ares Abraham’s children, you would be doingst the deeds of Abraham.40 But now you are tryingt to kill me, a man who has told yout the truth I heard from God. Abraham did not do this!t

41 You peoplet are doing the deeds of your father.”
Thens they said to Jesus,t “We were not born as a result of immorality!s We have only one Father, God himself.”42 Jesus replied,t “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I have come from God and am now here.t It have not come on my own initiative,t but het sent me.43 Why don’t you understand what I am saying? It is because you cannot acceptt my teaching.t44 You peoplet are fromt your father the devil, and you want to do what your father desires.t Het was a murderer from the beginning, and does not uphold the truth,t because there is no truth in him. Whenever he lies,t he speaks according to his own nature,t because he is a liar and the father of lies.t45 But because I am telling yout the truth, you do not believe me.46 Who among you can prove me guiltyt of any sin?t If I am telling yout the truth, why don’t you believe me?

47 The one who belongs tot God listens and respondst to God’s words. You don’t listen and respond,t because you don’t belong to God.”t
48 The Judeanst replied,t “Aren’t we correct in sayingt that you are a Samaritan and are possessed by a demon?”t49 Jesus answered, “I am not possessed by a demon,t but I honor my Father – and yett you dishonor me.50 I am not trying to gett praise for myself.t There is one who demandst it, and he also judges.t

51 I tell you the solemn truth,t if anyone obeyst my teaching,t he will never see death.”ts
52 Thens the Judeanst responded,t “Now we know you’re possessed by a demon!t Both Abraham and the prophets died, and yett you say, ‘If anyone obeyst my teaching,t he will never experiencet death.’t53 You aren’t greater than our father Abraham who died, are you?t And the prophets died too! Who do you claim to be?”54 Jesus replied,t “If I glorify myself, my glory is worthless.t The one who glorifies me is my Father, about whom you peoplet say, ‘He is our God.’55 Yett you do not know him, but I know him. If I were to say that I do not know him,t I would be a liar like you. But I do know him, and I obeyt his teaching.t

56 Your father Abraham was overjoyedt to see my day, and he saw it and was glad.”t
57 Then the Judeanst replied,t “You are not yet fifty years old!t Havet you seen Abraham?”58 Jesus said to them, “I tell you the solemn truth,t before Abraham came into existence,t I am!”s

59 Then they picked upt stones to throw at him,s but Jesus hid himself and went out from the temple area.st
