John 8:10-29

¹⁰Jesus stood up and said to her, “Woman, where are your accusers? Did no one condemn you?”

¹¹She said, “No one, Lord.” Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go and sin no more.”

¹²Again 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.”

¹³The Pharisees said to him, “You bear witness about yourself; your witness is not true.”

¹⁴Jesus answered and said to them, “Even if I bear witness about myself, my witness is true. I know where I came from and where I am going, but you do not know where I came from or where I am going.

¹⁵You judge according the flesh; I judge no one.

¹⁶Yet if I judge, my judgment is true because I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.

¹⁷Yes, and in your law it is written that the testimony of two men is true.

¹⁸I am he who bears witness about myself, and the Father who sent me bears witness about me.”

¹⁹They said to him, “Where is your father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither me nor my Father; if you had known me, you would have known my Father also.”

²⁰He said these words in the treasury as he taught in the temple, and no one arrested him because his hour had not yet come.

²¹So again he said to them, “I am going away; you will seek me and will die in your sin. Where I am going, you cannot come.”

²²The Jews said, “Will he kill himself? Is that why he says, 'Where I am going you cannot come'?”

²³Jesus said to them, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.

²⁴Therefore, I said to you that you will die in your sins. For unless you believe that I AM, you will die in your sins.”

²⁵They said therefore to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them, “What I have said to you from the beginning.

²⁶I have many things to speak and to judge about you. However, he who sent me is true; and the things that I heard from him, these things I say to the world.”

²⁷They did not understand that he was speaking to them about the Father.

²⁸Jesus said, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then will you know that I AM, and that I do nothing of myself. As the Father taught me, I speak these things.

²⁹He who sent me is with me, and he has not left me alone, because I always do what is pleasing to him.”
