John 8:4-18

⁴and said to him, Master, this woman is now taken in adultery.

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

⁶And they said this thing tempting him, that they might accuse him. And Jesus bowed himself down, and wrote with his finger in the earth.

⁷And when they abided or con-tinued asking him, he raised himself, and said to them, He of you that is without sin, first cast a stone into her.

⁸And again he bowed down himself, and wrote in the earth.

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, and said to her, Woman, where be they that accused thee? no man hath con-demned thee.

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

¹²Therefore again Jesus spake to them, and said, I am the light of the world; he that pursueth me, walketh not in darknesses, but shall have the light of life.

¹³Therefore the Pharisees said, Thou bearest witnessing of thyself; thy witnessing is not true.

¹⁴Jesus answered, and said to them, And if I bear witnessing of myself, my witnessing 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;

¹⁶and if I deem, my doom 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.

¹⁸I am, that bear witnessing of myself, and the Father that sent me, beareth witnessing of me.
