Gen Z: John 8
1Jesus pulled up to the Mount of Olives, chill vibes.
2Early morning, he’s back at the temple, and everyone’s vibing with him; he sat down and started teaching, no cap.
3The scribes and Pharisees brought a woman caught in the act of cheating, and they threw her right in the middle of the squad.
4They said, "Yo, Master, this girl was caught red-handed."
5Moses said we should stone her, but what’s your move, fam?
6They were just trying to test him, but Jesus was like, “Nah.” He bent down and started writing in the dirt, acting like he didn’t hear them.
7When they kept pressing him, he stood up and said, "Whoever’s perfect, go ahead and throw the first rock."
8Then he went back down, still writing in the dirt.
9Those who heard him felt that guilt trip and dipped out one by one, starting with the oldest, until only Jesus and the woman were left.
10Jesus stood up and saw just her, and asked, "Where are your haters? No one called you out?"
11She was like, "No way, Lord." And Jesus was like, "I ain’t judging you, fam; just bounce and do better. Periodt."
12Then Jesus popped off again, saying, "I’m the light of the world; follow me and you won’t be in the dark, you’ll have that life glow."
13The Pharisees were all sus, saying, "You’re just hyping yourself up; your story ain't legit."
14Jesus clapped back, "Even if I’m my own hype man, my truth is real; I know where I came from and where I’m headed, but you can’t vibe with that."
15"You judge by what’s on the surface; I don’t judge anyone."
16"But if I do judge, my judgment is on point; I’m not solo, it’s me and the Father who sent me."
17"Your law says two witnesses make it real. No cap."
18"I’m one witness for myself, and the Father who sent me backs me up."
19They were like, "Where’s your Dad?" Jesus was like, "You don’t know me or my Dad; if you knew me, you’d know him too."
20Jesus was dropping knowledge in the treasury, teaching in the temple, and no one laid a finger on him; it wasn't his time yet.
21Jesus was like, "I’m outta here, and you’ll be searching for me but won’t find me. You’ll be stuck in your sins, and where I’m going, you can't roll with me."
22The Jews were like, "Is he gonna off himself? 'Cause he said we can’t follow him."
23Jesus said, "You’re from this world, but I’m from above; you’re all about that earthly vibe, but I’m not on that level."
24"I told you straight up, you’re gonna die in your sins. If you don’t believe I’m the one, you’re done for, no cap."
25They were like, "Who even are you?" And Jesus was like, "I’m the same dude I’ve been telling you about since day one."
26"I got a lot to drop on you and judge you on, but the one who sent me is legit, and I’m just sharing the truth I got from him."
27They didn’t get that he was talking about the Father, fr.
28Jesus was like, "When you guys lift up the Son of Man, you’ll know I’m the one, and everything I say comes from my Father, periodt."
29"The one who sent me is always with me; the Father hasn’t ditched me 'cause I’m always doing what pleases him."
30As he dropped these bars, a bunch of people started believing in him.
31Jesus told the Jews who were vibing with him, "If you keep it real with my word, you’re my true disciples, no cap."
32"You’ll know the truth, and that truth will set you free, fr."
33They were like, "We’re Abraham’s fam, never been held down by anyone. Why you say we need freedom?"
34Jesus hit them with, "For real, anyone who sins is basically a slave to sin, no cap."
35"A servant doesn't stick around forever, but the Son? He’s here for the long haul."
36"If the Son sets you free, you’re truly free, periodt."
37"I know you’re Abraham’s crew, but you’re trying to take me out because my word doesn’t vibe with you."
38"I’m speaking what I’ve seen with my Father, and you’re doing what you’ve seen with your dad."
39They replied, "Abraham’s our dad." Jesus said, "If you were really his kids, you’d be doing what he did."
40"But now you’re trying to take me down, a dude who told you the truth I got from God. That’s not what Abraham would do."
41Y'all do what your dad does. They were like, "We ain't born from no drama; we got one Dad, for real, God."
42Jesus was like, "If God was your Dad, you'd vibe with me. I came straight from God, not just on my own."
43Why can’t y’all get what I’m saying? It’s 'cause you can't hear my words, fr.
44You’re acting like your dad, the devil, and you do what he wants. He’s been a killer from day one and ain't about the truth; he’s sus, lying all the time.
45And since I keep it 100 with you, you don’t believe me, no cap.
46Which one of you can call me out on sin? If I’m speaking truth, why don’t you believe me?
47If you’re with God, you hear His words; you don’t hear them 'cause you ain't with God.
48Then the Jews were like, "Aren't we right to say you’re a Samaritan and got a demon?"
49Jesus was like, "I ain't got a demon; I just respect my Dad, and you guys are dissing me."
50I’m not here for my own hype; there’s someone who’s got my back and judges right.
51For real, for real, if you vibe with my words, you ain't ever gonna see death.
52The Jews were like, "Ayo, you got a devil, fam. Abraham's dead, and the prophets too; how you gonna say that?"
53You think you’re better than our dude Abraham, who’s dead? And the prophets are gone too; who do you think you are?
54Jesus was like, "If I hype myself up, it means nothing; it’s my Father who gives me that rizz, and y’all call him your God."
55But y’all don’t even know him; I do. If I said I didn’t know him, I’d be capping like you; I know him and follow what he says.
56Your boy Abraham was lit to see my day; he saw it and was totally vibing.
57The Jews were like, "You ain't even fifty yet, how you seen Abraham?"
58Jesus hit them with, "For real, for real, before Abraham was even a thing, I am."
59So they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus dipped out and ghosted through the crowd, no cap.
