Abstract :
Cet article examine les versions syriaques, coptes et latines de Jn 8,25. Souvent décriée par les exégètes, l’interprétation qu’offre ici la Vulgate est évaluée en fonction des principes de traduction qui caractérisent la version de saint Jérôme.

A special attention will be paid to the Vulgate translation, which in this particular verse has often been criticized. In order to fully appreciate its soundness, one has to understand the interpretative rules which Saint Jerome used to apply in his translation.
