And each person went into His house…
But Yeshua went into the Hill of the Olive Trees, and at dawn he again came aside into the temple and all the people started towards Him, and having sat down He taught them. And the scribes and the Pharisees lead a woman having been seized upon the act of adultery, and having stood her in the middle say to Him, “Teacher, this woman had been seized in the act being committed adultery with; yet in the Torah, Moshe commanded us to stone such as these. You then, what do You say?” And they were saying this putting Him to a test expecting Him to fail so that they would have something to accuse Him with. But Yeshua, having bent down, inscribed with his finger into the ground. And as they continued questioning Him, He bent back up and said to them, “Let your first innocent witness throw the stone at her1.” And again having bent down He wrote into the ground. Yet these having heard exited the scene one by one having started from the elders and just the woman was left behind being in the middle. And having bent up Yeshua said to her, “Woman, where are they? No one judged against you?” And the woman said, “No one, Owner.” And Yeshua said, “Neither do I myself judge against you; go, and from this point on, don’t make these mistakes any longer.”
Again Yeshua talked to them saying, “I Am the Light of the Universe; the person following Me will not walk around in the darkness, but will arrive at the light of the Life.” The Pharisees then said to Him, “You testify about Yourself; Your testimony isn’t real.” Yeshua answered and said to them, “Even if I testify about Myself, My testimony is real, because I know from where I came and where I’m going; yet you people don’t know from where I am coming or to where I’m going. You make decisions in line with the flesh, I don’t decide about anyone at all. But even if I do make decisions, the decision which is mine is real, because I am not alone, but it’s the Father having sent Me and I. Yet also in the Torah which is yours it had been written that the testimony of two human beings is genuine. I am the one testifying about Myself and the Father having sent Me testifies about Me.” They were saying then to Him, “Where is Your Father?” Yeshua replied, “You know by insight neither Me nor My Father; if you knew Me, you would also have known My Father.” These words He talked within the treasure room teaching in the temple; and no one arrested Him, because His hour hadn’t yet come.
He then said again to them, “I am going and you will look for Me, and your malfunction will cause your death; where I am going you people can’t come.” The Iudaeans then were saying, “He isn’t going to kill Himself, is He? Because He’s saying, ‘Where I am going you people can’t come’?” And He was saying to them, “You people are of down here, I Myself am of up there; you people are of the order of this world, I Myself am not of the order of this world. I then said to you that your errors will cause your death; because if you won’t trust that I Am, your errors will cause your death.” They were then saying to Him, “You, who are You?” Yeshua said to them, “The Start, which if anything I am also talking to you. I have a lot to say and to decide about you people, but the One having sent Me is real, and what things I heard from His side I say these into the universe.” They didn’t recognize that He was speaking about the Father to them. Yeshua then said to them, “When you raise the Son of Adam high, then you will recognize that I Am, and I am doing nothing from Myself, but I am saying these things just like the Father taught Me. And the One having sent Me is with Me; He didn’t drop Me by Myself, because I am always doing the things which please him.” With His saying these things many put their trust into Him.
Yeshua then was saying to those Iudaeans having trusted Him, “If you make your home within the logos which is Mine, you are genuinely My disciples and you will know the reality, and the reality will free you [from your slavery]2.” They responded at Him, “We are the sperm of Avraham and had been enslaved by no one at any time; how are You saying that, ‘You would become free?’” Yeshua answered them, “Amen amen I tell you that every single person who engages with the malfunction is a slave of the malfunction. Yet the slave doesn’t make his home in the house into the eon, the son makes his home into the eon. If then the Son should free you, you will actually be set free. I know that you are the sperm of Avraham; but you are looking to kill Me, because the logos which is Mine doesn’t make room within you people. I am talking what things I have seen from beside My Father; and you people then are doing what things you heard from beside your father.
They responded and said to Him, “Our father is Avraham.” Yeshua says to them, “If you people were children of Avraham, you would have been acting like Avraham; but at this point you are looking to kill Me, a human being who had talked to you the reality which I heard from the side of the God; Avraham didn’t do this. You are acting like your father.” They said to Him, “We weren’t born from whoring. We have one Father, the God.” Yeshua said to them, “If the God was your Father you would have loved Me, because I came out and arrived from the God; because neither had I come from Myself, but that One sent Me out. Because of what don’t you recognize the talk which is Mine? Because you can’t hear the logos which is Mine. You people are of your father the slanderer and want to do the desires of your father. That one was homicidal from the start and didn’t stand in reality, because there isn’t reality within him. When he should talk the lie, he is talking from his own things, because he is a liar and its father. Yet because I Myself speak reality, you don’t trust Me. Who from you exposes Me about erroneous behaviors? If I am speaking reality, because of what do you not trust Me? The one who is born3 from the God listens to the spoken words of the God; because of this you don’t listen, because you aren’t born from the God.”
The Iudaeans responded and said to Him, “Didn’t we speak beautifully that you are a Samaritan and demon possessed?” Yeshua replied, “I’m not demon possessed, but I revere My Father, and you insult Me. But I’m not looking for My reputation; He is the One looking for and deciding it. Amen amen I am telling you, if anyone should keep the logos which is Mine, he would not gaze on Thanatos4 at all into the eon.” The Iudaeans then said to Him, “Now we know that you’re demon possessed. Avraham died as did the prophets, and you are saying, ‘If anyone should keep My logos, he would not taste death at all5 into the eon.’ You aren’t better than our father Avraham, are you? Who died? And the prophets died as well? Whom do you make Yourself to be?” Yeshua answered, “If I should build up My own reputation, My reputation is nothing. My Father is the One building up My reputation, whom you people claim, ‘He is our God,’ and you didn’t recognize Him, yet I know Him. And if I said, ‘I don’t know Him,’ I would be a liar the same as you people; but I know Him and keep His logos. Avraham your father was overjoyed that He should see the day which is Mine, and He saw and rejoiced.” The Iudaeans then said at Him, “You’re not even fifty years old and you’ve seen Avraham?” Yeshua said to them, “Amen amen I tell you, before Avraham’s having existed, I Am.” They then picked up stones so that they would throw them at Him. Yet Yeshua hid and came out of the temple.
1Deuteronomy 17:7, the person who witnessed the crime, the innocent person, was to be the first person to throw the stone according to the Torah.
2This addition is based on the following context in the passage, and on the argument Paulus makes in Romans 6 that you either enslave yourself to the Pneuma or to your own flesh.
3“born from” is justified by the context of the conversation, that is, clarifying who their father was, and thus, from whom they were born.
4Literally “Death.” Thanatos, the Greek god of death, was the chief lieutenant of Hades, the ruler of the underworld.
5Notice, these aren’t the words Yeshua used. They misunderstood.
