5Now in our law Moses commanded that such women are to be stoned; so what do you say?”
6They said this to test Him, so that they might have an accusation against Him. But stooping down Jesus began to write on the ground with His finger, taking no notice.
7But since they kept on asking Him, straightening up He said to them, “Let the one without sin among you throw the first stone at her.”
8And stooping down again He continued writing on the ground.
9Now upon hearing this, and being convicted by their conscience, they began to go out one by one, starting with the older ones down to the least. So only Jesus was left, with the woman in the center.
10So straightening up, and not seeing anyone except the woman, Jesus said to her: “Where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?”
11So she said, “No one, Lord.” Jesus said to her: “Neither do I condemn you. Go, and from now on don't sin any more!”
12Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying: “I am the Light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk around in the darkness, but will have the light of the Life.”
13So the Pharisees said to Him, “You are testifying about yourself; your testimony is not valid.”
14Jesus answered and said to them: “Even though I testify about myself, my testimony is valid, because I know where I came from and where I am going. But you do not know where I come from or where I am going.
15You are judging according to the flesh; I am not judging anyone.
16Yet even if I do judge, my judging is valid, in that I am not alone in judging, but I and the Father who sent me are together.
17It is written precisely in your law that the testimony of two men is valid:
18I am one testifying concerning myself and the Father who sent me testifies concerning me.”
19Then they said to Him, “Where is your father?” Jesus answered: “You know neither me nor my Father. If you knew me you would also know my Father.”
20Jesus spoke these words in the treasury, while teaching in the temple; yet no one arrested Him, because His time had not yet come.
