John 8:4-18

⁴and seiden to hym, Maystir, this womman is now takun in auoutrie.

⁵And in the lawe Moises comaundide vs to stoone suche; therfor what seist thou?

⁶And thei seiden this thing temptynge hym, that thei myyten accuse hym. And Jhesus bowide hym silf doun, and wroot with his fyngur in the erthe.

⁷And whanne thei abiden axynge hym, he reiside hym silf, and seide to hem, He of you that is without synne, first caste a stoon in to hir.

⁸And eft he bowide hym silf, and wroot in the erthe.

⁹And thei herynge these thingis, wenten awei oon aftir anothir, and thei bigunnen fro the eldre men; and Jhesus dwelte aloone, and the womman stondynge in the myddil.

¹⁰And Jhesus reiside hym silf, and seide to hir, Womman, where ben thei that accusiden thee? no man hath dampned thee.

¹¹Sche seide, No man, Lord. Jhesus seide `to hir, Nethir Y schal dampne thee; go thou, and now aftirward nyle thou synne more.

¹²Therfor eft Jhesus spak to hem, and seide, Y am the liyt of the world; he that sueth me, walkith not in derknessis, but schal haue the liyt of lijf.

¹³Therfor the Fariseis seiden, Thou berist witnessyng of thi silf; thi witnessyng is not trewe.

¹⁴Jhesus answerde, and seide to hem, And if Y bere witnessyng of my silf, my witnessyng is trewe; for Y woot fro whennus Y cam, and whidur Y go.

¹⁵But ye witen not fro whennus Y cam, ne whidur Y go. For ye demen aftir the fleisch, but Y deme no man;

¹⁶and if Y deme, my doom is trewe, for Y am not aloone, but Y and the fadir that sente me.

¹⁷And in youre lawe it is writun, that the witnessyng of twei men is trewe.

¹⁸Y am, that bere witnessyng of my silf, and the fadir that sente me, berith witnessyng of me.
