John 8:2-26

²And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him; and he sat down and taught them.

³And the scribes and the Pharisees bring to him a woman taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst,

⁴they say to him, Teacher, this woman has been taken in the very act, committing adultery.

⁵Now in the law Moses has commanded us to stone such; thou therefore, what sayest thou?

⁶But this they said proving him, that they might have something to accuse him of. But Jesus, having stooped down, wrote with his finger on the ground.

⁷But when they continued asking him, he lifted himself up and said to them, Let him that is without sin among you first cast the stone at her.

⁸And again stooping down he wrote on the ground.

⁹But they, having heard that, went out one by one beginning from the elder ones until the last; and Jesus was left alone and the woman standing there.

¹⁰And Jesus, lifting himself up and seeing no one but the woman, said to her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? Has no one condemned thee?

¹¹And she said, No one, sir. And Jesus said to her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

¹²Again therefore Jesus spoke to them, saying, I am the light of the world; he that follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

¹³The Pharisees therefore said to him, Thou bearest witness concerning thyself; thy witness is not true.

¹⁴Jesus answered and said to them, Even if I bear witness concerning myself, my witness is true, because I know whence I came and whither I go: but ye know not whence I come and whither I go.

¹⁵Ye judge according to the flesh, I judge no one.

¹⁶And if also I judge, my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who has sent me.

¹⁷And in your law too it is written that the testimony of two men is true:

¹⁸I am one who bear witness concerning myself, and the Father who has sent me bears witness concerning me.

¹⁹They said to him therefore, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye know neither me nor my Father. If ye had known me, ye would have known also my Father.

²⁰These words spoke he in the treasury, teaching in the temple; and no one took him, for his hour was not yet come.

²¹He said therefore again to them, I go away, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sin; where I go ye cannot come.

²²The Jews therefore said, Will he kill himself, that he says, Where I go ye cannot come?

²³And he said to them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above. Ye are of this world; I am not of this world.

²⁴I said therefore to you, that ye shall die in your sins; for unless ye shall believe that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.

²⁵They said therefore to him, Who art thou? And Jesus said to them, Altogether that which I also say to you.

²⁶I have many things to say and to judge concerning you, but he that has sent me is true, and I, what I have heard from him, these things I say to the world.
