Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
1Jesus autem perrexit in montem Oliveti:
2Now very early in the morning, he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him. He sat down and taught them.
2et diluculo iterum venit in templum, et omnis populus venit ad eum, et sedens docebat eos.
3The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery. Having set her in the middle,
3Adducunt autem scribæ et pharisæi mulierem in adulterio deprehensam: et statuerunt eam in medio,
4they told him, “Teacher, we found this woman in adultery, in the very act.
4et dixerunt ei: Magister, hæc mulier modo deprehensa est in adulterio.
5Now in our law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. What then do you say about her?”
5In lege autem Moyses mandavit nobis hujusmodi lapidare. Tu ergo quid dicis?
6They said this testing him, that they might have something to accuse him of. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger.
6Hoc autem dicebant tentantes eum, ut possent accusare eum. Jesus autem inclinans se deorsum, digito scribebat in terra.
7But when they continued asking him, he looked up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw the first stone at her.”
7Cum ergo perseverarent interrogantes eum, erexit se, et dixit eis: Qui sine peccato est vestrum, primus in illam lapidem mittat.
8Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger.
8Et iterum se inclinans, scribebat in terra.
9They, when they heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning from the oldest, even to the last. Jesus was left alone with the woman where she was, in the middle.
9Audientes autem unus post unum exibant, incipientes a senioribus: et remansit solus Jesus, et mulier in medio stans.
10Jesus, standing up, saw her and said, “Woman, where are your accusers? Did no one condemn you?”
10Erigens autem se Jesus, dixit ei: Mulier, ubi sunt qui te accusabant? nemo te condemnavit?
11She said, “No one, Lord.” Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go your way. From now on, 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 who follows me will not 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.
13The Pharisees therefore said to him, “You testify about yourself. Your testimony is not valid.”
13Dixerunt ergo ei pharisæi: Tu de teipso testimonium perhibes; testimonium tuum non est verum.
14Jesus answered them, “Even if I testify about myself, my testimony is true, for I know where I came from, and where I am going; but you don’t 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;
16Even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for I am not alone, but 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.
17It’s also written in your law that the testimony of two people 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 testifies about me.”
18Ego sum qui testimonium perhibeo de meipso, et testimonium perhibet de me qui misit me, Pater.
19They 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.”
19Dicebant ergo ei: Ubi est Pater tuus? Respondit Jesus: Neque me scitis, neque Patrem meum: si me sciretis, forsitan et Patrem meum sciretis.
20Jesus spoke these words in the treasury, as he taught in the temple. Yet no one arrested 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.
21Jesus said therefore again to them, “I am going away, and you will seek me, and you will die in your sins. Where I go, you can’t 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 says, ‘Where I am going, you can’t come’ ?”
22Dicebant ergo Judæi: Numquid interficiet semetipsum, quia dixit: Quo ego vado, vos non potestis venire?
23He 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.
24I said therefore to you that you will 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.
25They said therefore to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them, “Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.
25Dicebant ergo ei: Tu quis es? Dixit eis Jesus: Principium, qui et loquor vobis.
26I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you. However, he who sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these I say to 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 didn’t understand that he spoke to them about the Father.
27Et non cognoverunt quia Patrem ejus dicebat Deum.
28Jesus therefore said to them, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and I do nothing of myself, but as my Father taught me, I say these things.
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. The Father hasn’t left me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to him.”
29et qui me misit, mecum est, et non reliquit me solum: quia ego quæ placita sunt ei, facio semper.
30As he spoke these things, many believed in him.
30Hæc illo loquente, multi crediderunt in eum.
31Jesus therefore said to those Jews who had believed him, “If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.
31Dicebat ergo Jesus ad eos, qui crediderunt ei, Judæos: Si vos manseritis in sermone meo, vere discipuli mei eritis,
32You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”
32et cognoscetis veritatem, et veritas liberabit vos.
33They answered him, “We are Abraham’s offspring, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How do you say, ‘You will be made free’ ?”
33Responderunt ei: Semen Abrahæ sumus, et nemini servivimus umquam: quomodo tu dicis: Liberi eritis?
34Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the bondservant of sin.
34Respondit eis Jesus: Amen, amen dico vobis: quia omnis qui facit peccatum, servus est peccati.
35A bondservant doesn’t live in the house forever. A son remains forever.
35Servus autem non manet in domo in æternum: filius autem manet in æternum.
36If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.
36Si ergo vos filius liberaverit, vere liberi eritis.
37I know that you are Abraham’s offspring, yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you.
37Scio quia filii Abrahæ estis: sed quæritis me interficere, quia sermo meus non capit in vobis.
38I say the things which I have seen with my Father; and you also do the things which you have seen with your father.”
38Ego quod vidi apud Patrem meum, loquor: et vos quæ vidistis apud patrem vestrum, facitis.
39They answered him, “Our father is Abraham.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, 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 seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham didn’t do this.
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 to him, “We were not born of sexual immorality. We have one Father, God.”
41Vos facitis opera patris vestri. Dixerunt itaque ei: Nos ex fornicatione non sumus nati: unum patrem habemus Deum.
42Therefore Jesus said to them, “If God were your father, you would love me, for I came out and have come from God. For I haven’t come 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 don’t you understand my speech? Because you can’t hear my word.
43Quare loquelam meam non cognoscitis? Quia non potestis audire sermonem meum.
44You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn’t stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for 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 tell the truth, you don’t believe me.
45Ego autem si veritatem dico, non creditis mihi.
46Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?
46Quis ex vobis arguet me de peccato? si veritatem dico vobis, quare non creditis mihi?
47He who is of God hears the words of God. For this cause you don’t hear, because you are not of God.”
47Qui ex Deo est, verba Dei audit. Propterea vos non auditis, quia ex Deo non estis.
48Then the Jews answered him, “Don’t we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?”
48Responderunt ergo Judæi, et dixerunt ei: Nonne bene dicimus nos quia Samaritanus es tu, et dæmonium habes?
49Jesus answered, “I don’t have a demon, but I honor my Father and you dishonor me.
49Respondit Jesus: Ego dæmonium non habeo: sed honorifico Patrem meum, et vos inhonorastis me.
50But I don’t seek my own glory. There is one who seeks and judges.
50Ego autem non quæro gloriam meam: est qui quærat, et judicet.
51Most certainly, I tell you, if a person keeps my word, he will never see death.”
51Amen, amen dico vobis: si quis sermonem meum servaverit, mortem non videbit in æternum.
52Then the Jews said to him, “Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham died, as did the prophets; and you say, ‘If a man keeps my word, he will never taste of 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, who died? The prophets died. Who do you make yourself out 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 is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say that 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 have not known him, but I know him. If I said, ‘I don’t know him,’ I would be like you, a liar. But I know him and 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 to 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, “You are not yet fifty years old! Have you seen Abraham?”
57Dixerunt ergo Judæi ad eum: Quinquaginta annos nondum habes, et Abraham vidisti?
58Jesus said to them, “Most certainly, I tell you, before Abraham came into existence, I AM. ”
58Dixit eis Jesus: Amen, amen dico vobis, antequam Abraham fieret, ego sum.
59Therefore they took up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple, having gone through the middle of them, and so passed by.
59Tulerunt ergo lapides, ut jacerent in eum: Jesus autem abscondit se, et exivit de templo.
