Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1And Jesus went unto mount Olivet.
1Jesus autem perrexit in montem Oliveti:
2And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him, and sitting down he taught them.
2et diluculo iterum venit in templum, et omnis populus venit ad eum, et sedens docebat eos.
3And the scribes and the Pharisees bring unto him a woman taken in adultery: and they set her in the midst,
3Adducunt autem scribæ et pharisæi mulierem in adulterio deprehensam: et statuerunt eam in medio,
4And said to him: Master, this woman was even now taken in adultery.
4et dixerunt ei: Magister, hæc mulier modo deprehensa est in adulterio.
5Now Moses in the law commanded us to stone such a one. But what sayest thou?
5In lege autem Moyses mandavit nobis hujusmodi lapidare. Tu ergo quid dicis?
6And this they said tempting him, that they might accuse him. But Jesus bowing himself down, wrote with his finger on the ground.
6Hoc autem dicebant tentantes eum, ut possent accusare eum. Jesus autem inclinans se deorsum, digito scribebat in terra.
7When therefore they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said to them: He that is without sin among you, let him first 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 stooping down, he wrote on the ground.
8Et iterum se inclinans, scribebat in terra.
9But they hearing this, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest. And Jesus alone remained, and the woman standing in the midst.
9Audientes autem unus post unum exibant, incipientes a senioribus: et remansit solus Jesus, et mulier in medio stans.
10Then Jesus lifting up himself, said to her: Woman, where are they that accused thee? Hath no man condemned thee?
10Erigens autem se Jesus, dixit ei: Mulier, ubi sunt qui te accusabant? nemo te condemnavit?
11Who said: No man, Lord. And Jesus said: Neither will I condemn thee. Go, and now sin no more.
11Quæ dixit: Nemo, Domine. Dixit autem Jesus: Nec ego te condemnabo: vade, et jam amplius noli peccare.
12Again therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying: I am the light of the world: he that followeth me, walketh not in darkness, but shall 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.
13The Pharisees therefore said to him: Thou givest testimony of thyself: thy testimony is not true.
13Dixerunt ergo ei pharisæi: Tu de teipso testimonium perhibes; testimonium tuum non est verum.
14Jesus answered, and said to them: Although I give testimony of myself, my testimony is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go: but you know not whence I come, or whither I go.
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 not any man.
15Vos secundum carnem judicatis: ego non judico quemquam;
16And if I do judge, my judgment is true: because I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
16et si judico ego, judicium meum verum est, quia solus non sum: sed ego et qui misit me, Pater.
17And in your law it is written, that the testimony of two men is true.
17Et in lege vestra scriptum est, quia duorum hominum testimonium verum est.
18I am one that give testimony of myself: and the Father that sent me giveth testimony of me.
18Ego sum qui testimonium perhibeo de meipso, et testimonium perhibet de me qui misit me, Pater.
19They said therefore to him: Where is thy Father? Jesus answered: Neither me do you know, nor my Father: if you did know me, perhaps you would know my Father also.
19Dicebant ergo ei: Ubi est Pater tuus? Respondit Jesus: Neque me scitis, neque Patrem meum: si me sciretis, forsitan et Patrem meum sciretis.
20These words Jesus spoke in the treasury, teaching in the temple: and no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.
20Hæc verba locutus est Jesus in gazophylacio, docens in templo: et nemo apprehendit eum, quia necdum venerat hora ejus.
21Again therefore Jesus said to them: I go, and you shall seek me, and you shall die in your sin. Whither I go, 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.
22The Jews therefore said: Will he kill himself, because he said: Whither I go, you cannot come?
22Dicebant ergo Judæi: Numquid interficiet semetipsum, quia dixit: Quo ego vado, vos non potestis venire?
23And he said to them: You are from beneath, 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.
24Therefore I said to you, that you shall die in your sins. For if you believe not that I am he, you shall die in your sin.
24Dixi ergo vobis quia moriemini in peccatis vestris: si enim non credideritis quia ego sum, moriemini in peccato vestro.
25They said therefore to him: Who art thou? Jesus said to them: The beginning, who also speak unto you.
25Dicebant ergo ei: Tu quis es? Dixit eis Jesus: Principium, qui et loquor vobis.
26Many things I have to speak and to judge of you. But he that sent me, is true: and the things I have heard of him, these same I speak in 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.
27And they understood not, that he called God his Father.
27Et non cognoverunt quia Patrem ejus dicebat Deum.
28Jesus therefore said to them: When you shall have lifted up the Son of man, then shall you know, that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself, but as the Father hath taught me, these things I speak:
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:
29And he that sent me, is with me, and he hath not left me alone: for I do always the things that please him.
29et qui me misit, mecum est, et non reliquit me solum: quia ego quæ placita sunt ei, facio semper.
30When he spoke these things, many believed in him.
30Hæc illo loquente, multi crediderunt in eum.
31Then Jesus said to those Jews, who believed him: If you continue in my word, you shall be my disciples indeed.
31Dicebat ergo Jesus ad eos, qui crediderunt ei, Judæos: Si vos manseritis in sermone meo, vere discipuli mei eritis,
32And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
32et cognoscetis veritatem, et veritas liberabit vos.
33They answered him: We are the seed of Abraham, and we have never been slaves to any man: how sayest thou: you shall be free?
33Responderunt ei: Semen Abrahæ sumus, et nemini servivimus umquam: quomodo tu dicis: Liberi eritis?
34Jesus answered them: Amen, amen I say unto you: that whosoever committeth sin, is the servant of sin.
34Respondit eis Jesus: Amen, amen dico vobis: quia omnis qui facit peccatum, servus est peccati.
35Now the servant abideth not in the house for ever; but the son abideth for ever.
35Servus autem non manet in domo in æternum: filius autem manet in æternum.
36If therefore the son shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.
36Si ergo vos filius liberaverit, vere liberi eritis.
37I know that you are the children of Abraham: but you seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.
37Scio quia filii Abrahæ estis: sed quæritis me interficere, quia sermo meus non capit in vobis.
38I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and you do the things that you have seen with your father.
38Ego quod vidi apud Patrem meum, loquor: et vos quæ vidistis apud patrem vestrum, facitis.
39They answered, and said to him: Abraham is our father. Jesus saith to them: If you be the children of Abraham, 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 seek to kill me, a man who have spoken the truth to you, which I have heard of God. This Abraham did not.
40Nunc autem quæritis me interficere, hominem, qui veritatem vobis locutus sum, quam audivi a Deo: hoc Abraham non fecit.
41You do the works of your father. They said therefore to him: We are not born of fornication: we have one Father, even God.
41Vos facitis opera patris vestri. Dixerunt itaque ei: Nos ex fornicatione non sumus nati: unum patrem habemus Deum.
42Jesus therefore said to them: If God were your Father, you would indeed love me. For from God I proceeded, and came; for I came not of myself, 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 know my speech? Because you cannot hear my word.
43Quare loquelam meam non cognoscitis? Quia non potestis audire sermonem meum.
44You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and he stood not in the truth; because truth is not in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.
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 if I say the truth, you believe me not.
45Ego autem si veritatem dico, non creditis mihi.
46Which of you shall convince me of sin? If I say the truth to you, why do you not believe me?
46Quis ex vobis arguet me de peccato? si veritatem dico vobis, quare non creditis mihi?
47He that is of God, heareth the words of God. Therefore you hear them not, because you are not of God.
47Qui ex Deo est, verba Dei audit. Propterea vos non auditis, quia ex Deo non estis.
48The Jews therefore answered, and said to him: Do not we say well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?
48Responderunt ergo Judæi, et dixerunt ei: Nonne bene dicimus nos quia Samaritanus es tu, et dæmonium habes?
49Jesus answered: I have not a devil: but I honour my Father, and you have dishonoured me.
49Respondit Jesus: Ego dæmonium non habeo: sed honorifico Patrem meum, et vos inhonorastis me.
50But I seek not my own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
50Ego autem non quæro gloriam meam: est qui quærat, et judicet.
51Amen, amen I say to you: If any man keep my word, he shall not see death for ever.
51Amen, amen dico vobis: si quis sermonem meum servaverit, mortem non videbit in æternum.
52The Jews therefore said: Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest: If any man keep my word, he shall not taste death for ever.
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.
53Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? and the prophets are dead. Whom dost thou make thyself?
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 is nothing. It is my Father that glorifieth me, of whom you say that he is your God.
54Respondit Jesus: Si ego glorifico meipsum, gloria mea nihil est: est Pater meus, qui glorificat me, quem vos dicitis quia Deus vester est,
55And you have not known him, but I know him. And if I shall say that I know him not, I shall be like to you, a liar. But I do know him, and do 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.
56Abraham your father rejoiced that he might see my day: he saw it, and was glad.
56Abraham pater vester exsultavit ut videret diem meum: vidit, et gavisus est.
57The Jews therefore said to him: Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
57Dixerunt ergo Judæi ad eum: Quinquaginta annos nondum habes, et Abraham vidisti?
58Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say to you, before Abraham was made, I am.
58Dixit eis Jesus: Amen, amen dico vobis, antequam Abraham fieret, ego sum.
59They took up stones therefore to cast at him. But Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple.
59Tulerunt ergo lapides, ut jacerent in eum: Jesus autem abscondit se, et exivit de templo.
