Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
1Jesus autem perrexit in montem Oliveti:
2Early in the morning He went back into the temple courts. All the people came to Him, and He sat down to teach them.
2et diluculo iterum venit in templum, et omnis populus venit ad eum, et sedens docebat eos.
3The scribes and Pharisees, however, brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before them
3Adducunt autem scribæ et pharisæi mulierem in adulterio deprehensam: et statuerunt eam in medio,
4and said, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery.
4et dixerunt ei: Magister, hæc mulier modo deprehensa est in adulterio.
5In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such a woman. So what do You say?”
5In lege autem Moyses mandavit nobis hujusmodi lapidare. Tu ergo quid dicis?
6They 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.
6Hoc autem dicebant tentantes eum, ut possent accusare eum. Jesus autem inclinans se deorsum, digito scribebat in terra.
7When 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.”
7Cum ergo perseverarent interrogantes eum, erexit se, et dixit eis: Qui sine peccato est vestrum, primus in illam lapidem mittat.
8And again He bent down and wrote on the ground.
8Et iterum se inclinans, scribebat in terra.
9When 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.
9Audientes autem unus post unum exibant, incipientes a senioribus: et remansit solus Jesus, et mulier in medio stans.
10Then Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are your accusers? Has no one condemned you?”
10Erigens autem se Jesus, dixit ei: Mulier, ubi sunt qui te accusabant? nemo te condemnavit?
11“No one, Lord,” she answered. “Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Now go and sin no more.”
11Quæ dixit: Nemo, Domine. Dixit autem Jesus: Nec ego te condemnabo: vade, et jam amplius noli peccare.
12Once 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.”
12Iterum ergo locutus est eis Jesus, dicens: Ego sum lux mundi: qui sequitur me, non ambulat in tenebris, sed habebit lumen vitæ.
13So the Pharisees said to Him, “You are testifying about Yourself; Your testimony is not valid.”
13Dixerunt ergo ei pharisæi: Tu de teipso testimonium perhibes; testimonium tuum non est verum.
14Jesus 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.
14Respondit Jesus, et dixit eis: Et si ego testimonium perhibeo de meipso, verum est testimonium meum: quia scio unde veni et quo vado; vos autem nescitis unde venio aut quo vado.
15You judge according to the flesh; I judge no one.
15Vos secundum carnem judicatis: ego non judico quemquam;
16But even if I do judge, My judgment is true, because I am not alone; I am with the Father who sent Me.
16et si judico ego, judicium meum verum est, quia solus non sum: sed ego et qui misit me, Pater.
17Even in your own Law it is written that the testimony of two men is valid.
17Et in lege vestra scriptum est, quia duorum hominum testimonium verum est.
18I am One who testifies about Myself, and the Father, who sent Me, also testifies about Me.”
18Ego sum qui testimonium perhibeo de meipso, et testimonium perhibet de me qui misit me, Pater.
19“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.”
19Dicebant ergo ei: Ubi est Pater tuus? Respondit Jesus: Neque me scitis, neque Patrem meum: si me sciretis, forsitan et Patrem meum sciretis.
20He spoke these words while teaching in the temple courts, near the treasury. Yet no one seized Him, because His hour had not yet come.
20Hæc verba locutus est Jesus in gazophylacio, docens in templo: et nemo apprehendit eum, quia necdum venerat hora ejus.
21Again 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.”
21Dixit ergo iterum eis Jesus: Ego vado, et quæretis me, et in peccato vestro moriemini. Quo ego vado, vos non potestis venire.
22So the Jews began to ask, “Will He kill Himself, since He says, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come’?”
22Dicebant ergo Judæi: Numquid interficiet semetipsum, quia dixit: Quo ego vado, vos non potestis venire?
23Then He told them, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.
23Et dicebat eis: Vos de deorsum estis, ego de supernis sum. Vos de mundo hoc estis, ego non sum de hoc mundo.
24That 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.”
24Dixi ergo vobis quia moriemini in peccatis vestris: si enim non credideritis quia ego sum, moriemini in peccato vestro.
25“Who are You?” they asked. “Just what I have been telling you from the beginning,” Jesus replied.
25Dicebant ergo ei: Tu quis es? Dixit eis Jesus: Principium, qui et loquor vobis.
26“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.”
26Multa habeo de vobis loqui, et judicare; sed qui me misit, verax est; et ego quæ audivi ab eo, hæc loquor in mundo.
27They did not understand that He was telling them about the Father.
27Et non cognoverunt quia Patrem ejus dicebat Deum.
28So 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.
28Dixit ergo eis Jesus: Cum exaltaveritis Filium hominis, tunc cognoscetis quia ego sum, et a meipso facio nihil, sed sicut docuit me Pater, hæc loquor:
29He who sent Me is with Me. He has not left Me alone, because I always do what pleases Him.”
29et qui me misit, mecum est, et non reliquit me solum: quia ego quæ placita sunt ei, facio semper.
30As Jesus spoke these things, many believed in Him.
30Hæc illo loquente, multi crediderunt in eum.
31So He said to the Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, you are truly My disciples.
31Dicebat ergo Jesus ad eos, qui crediderunt ei, Judæos: Si vos manseritis in sermone meo, vere discipuli mei eritis,
32Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
32et cognoscetis veritatem, et veritas liberabit vos.
33“We are Abraham’s descendants,” they answered. “We have never been slaves to anyone. How can You say we will be set free?”
33Responderunt ei: Semen Abrahæ sumus, et nemini servivimus umquam: quomodo tu dicis: Liberi eritis?
34Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin.
34Respondit eis Jesus: Amen, amen dico vobis: quia omnis qui facit peccatum, servus est peccati.
35A slave is not a permanent member of the family, but a son belongs to it forever.
35Servus autem non manet in domo in æternum: filius autem manet in æternum.
36So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
36Si ergo vos filius liberaverit, vere liberi eritis.
37I know you are Abraham’s descendants, but you are trying to kill Me because My word has no place within you.
37Scio quia filii Abrahæ estis: sed quæritis me interficere, quia sermo meus non capit in vobis.
38I speak of what I have seen in the presence of the Father, and you do what you have heard from your father.”
38Ego quod vidi apud Patrem meum, loquor: et vos quæ vidistis apud patrem vestrum, facitis.
39“Abraham is our father,” they replied. “If you were children of Abraham,” said Jesus, “you would do the works of Abraham.
39Responderunt, et dixerunt ei: Pater noster Abraham est. Dicit eis Jesus: Si filii Abrahæ estis, opera Abrahæ facite.
40But 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.
40Nunc autem quæritis me interficere, hominem, qui veritatem vobis locutus sum, quam audivi a Deo: hoc Abraham non fecit.
41You are doing the works of your father.” “We are not illegitimate children,” they declared. “Our only Father is God Himself.”
41Vos facitis opera patris vestri. Dixerunt itaque ei: Nos ex fornicatione non sumus nati: unum patrem habemus Deum.
42Jesus 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.
42Dixit ergo eis Jesus: Si Deus pater vester esset, diligeretis utique et me; ego enim ex Deo processi, et veni: neque enim a meipso veni, sed ille me misit.
43Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you are unable to accept My message.
43Quare loquelam meam non cognoscitis? Quia non potestis audire sermonem meum.
44You 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.
44Vos ex patre diabolo estis: et desideria patris vestri vultis facere. Ille homicida erat ab initio, et in veritate non stetit: quia non est veritas in eo: cum loquitur mendacium, ex propriis loquitur, quia mendax est, et pater ejus.
45But because I speak the truth, you do not believe Me!
45Ego autem si veritatem dico, non creditis mihi.
46Which of you can prove Me guilty of sin? If I speak the truth, why do you not believe Me?
46Quis ex vobis arguet me de peccato? si veritatem dico vobis, quare non creditis mihi?
47Whoever belongs to God hears the words of God. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.”
47Qui ex Deo est, verba Dei audit. Propterea vos non auditis, quia ex Deo non estis.
48The Jews answered Him, “Are we not right to say that You are a Samaritan and You have a demon?”
48Responderunt ergo Judæi, et dixerunt ei: Nonne bene dicimus nos quia Samaritanus es tu, et dæmonium habes?
49“I do not have a demon,” Jesus replied, “but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me.
49Respondit Jesus: Ego dæmonium non habeo: sed honorifico Patrem meum, et vos inhonorastis me.
50I do not seek My own glory. There is One who seeks it, and He is the Judge.
50Ego autem non quæro gloriam meam: est qui quærat, et judicet.
51Truly, truly, I tell you, if anyone keeps My word, he will never see death.”
51Amen, amen dico vobis: si quis sermonem meum servaverit, mortem non videbit in æternum.
52“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.
52Dixerunt ergo Judæi: Nunc cognovimus quia dæmonium habes. Abraham mortuus est, et prophetæ; et tu dicis: Si quis sermonem meum servaverit, non gustabit mortem in æternum.
53Are You greater than our father Abraham? He died, as did the prophets. Who do You claim to be?”
53Numquid tu major es patre nostro Abraham, qui mortuus est? et prophetæ mortui sunt. Quem teipsum facis?
54Jesus 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.’
54Respondit Jesus: Si ego glorifico meipsum, gloria mea nihil est: est Pater meus, qui glorificat me, quem vos dicitis quia Deus vester est,
55You 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.
55et non cognovistis eum: ego autem novi eum. Et si dixero quia non scio eum, ero similis vobis, mendax. Sed scio eum, et sermonem ejus servo.
56Your father Abraham rejoiced that he would see My day. He saw it and was glad.”
56Abraham pater vester exsultavit ut videret diem meum: vidit, et gavisus est.
57Then the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and You have seen Abraham?”
57Dixerunt ergo Judæi ad eum: Quinquaginta annos nondum habes, et Abraham vidisti?
58“Truly, truly, I tell you,” Jesus declared, “before Abraham was born, I am!”
58Dixit eis Jesus: Amen, amen dico vobis, antequam Abraham fieret, ego sum.
59At this, they picked up stones to throw at Him. But Jesus was hidden and went out of the temple area.
59Tulerunt ergo lapides, ut jacerent in eum: Jesus autem abscondit se, et exivit de templo.
