John 8:2-26

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

³And (the) scribes and (the) Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery, and they setted her in the middle (or and they put her in the midst of everyone),

⁴and said to him, Master, this woman is now taken in adultery. (and said to him, Teacher, this woman was caught in adultery.)

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

⁶And they said this thing tempting (or to test) him, (so) that they might accuse him. And Jesus bowed himself down, and wrote with his finger in the earth (or and wrote on the ground with his finger).

⁷And when they abided or continued asking him, he raised himself (up), and said to them, He of you that is without sin, first cast a stone into her, (or He of you who is without sin, throw the first stone at her).

⁸And again he bowed down himself, and wrote in the earth (or and wrote on the ground).

⁹And they hearing these things, went away one after another, and they began from the elder men; and Jesus dwelt alone, and the woman standing in the middle.

¹⁰And Jesus raised himself (up), and said to her, Woman, where be they that accused thee? no man hath condemned thee.

¹¹She said, No man, Lord. Jesus said to her, Neither I shall condemn thee; go thou, and now afterward do not thou (do) sin (any) more, or and now afterward do not thou sin, (or and hereafter, do not do any more sin).

¹²Therefore again Jesus spake to them, and said, I am the light of the world; he that (pur)sueth me, walketh not in (the) darknesses, (or he who followeth me, walketh not in the darkness), but shall have the light of life.

¹³Therefore the Pharisees said, Thou bearest witnessing of thyself; thy witnessing is not true. (And so the Pharisees said, Thou testifiest about thyself; thy testimony is not true.)

¹⁴Jesus answered, and said to them, And if I bear witnessing of myself, my witnessing is true, (or Jesus answered, and said to them, And if I testify about myself, then my testimony is true); for I know from whence I came, and whither I go. But ye know not from whence I came, nor whither I go.

¹⁵For ye deem after the flesh, but I deem no man; (For ye judge after the flesh, but I judge no man;)

¹⁶and if I deem, my doom is true, (or and if I judge, then my judgement is true), for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.

¹⁷And in your law it is written, that the witnessing of two men is true. (And in your Law it is written, that the testimony of two men who agree is true.)

¹⁸I am, that bear witnessing of myself, and the Father that sent me, beareth witnessing of me. (I am he, who giveth testimony about myself, and the Father who sent me, also giveth testimony about me.)

¹⁹Therefore they said to him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Neither ye know me, nor ye know my Father; if ye knew me, peradventure ye should know also my Father.

²⁰Jesus spake these words in the treasury, teaching in the temple; and no man took (hold of) him, for his hour came not yet, (or for his hour had not yet come, or for it was not yet his time).

²¹Therefore again Jesus said to them, Lo! I go, and ye shall seek me, and ye shall die in your sin; whither I go, ye may not come, (or where I go, ye cannot come).

²²Therefore the Jews said, Whether he shall slay himself, for he saith, Whither I go, ye may not come? (And so the Jews said, Shall he kill himself, for he said, Where I go, ye cannot come?)

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

²⁴Therefore I said to you, that ye shall die in your sins; for if ye believe not that I am, ye shall die in your sins.

²⁵Therefore they said to him, Who art thou? Jesus said to them, The beginning, or the first of all thing(s), which I also speak to you, (or what I have told you).

²⁶I have many things to speak, and to deem of you, but he that sent me is soothfast; and I speak in the world these things, that I heard of him. (I have many things to say, and to judge about you, and he who sent me is truthful; and I say in the world these things, that I heard from him.)
