John 8:7-27

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

⁸And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.

⁹And when they heard this, they went out one by one, beginning with the oldest; and Jesus was left alone, and the woman who was in the midst.

¹⁰And Jesus lifted himself up and said to her, Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn thee!

¹¹And she said, No one, Lord. And Jesus said, 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 followeth me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life.

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

¹⁴Jesus answered and said to them, Though I bear witness of myself, my witness is true; for I know whence I came, and whither I go; ye know not whence I come, or whither I go.

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

¹⁶But even if I myself should judge, my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and he who sent me.

¹⁷Moreover, it is written in your law, that the witness of two men is true.

¹⁸I am one who bear witness of myself, and the Father who sent me beareth witness of me.

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

²⁰These words he spoke in the treasury, while teaching in the temple; and no one laid hands on him, because his hour had not yet come.

²¹Again therefore he said to them, I go away, and ye will seek me, and will die in your sin. Whither I go, ye cannot come.

²²The Jews therefore said, Will he kill himself, that he saith, Whither 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.

²⁴Therefore I said to you, that ye will die in your sins; for unless ye believe that I am He, ye will die in your sins.

²⁵They said therefore to him, Who art thou? Jesus said to them, In the first place, I am just that which I speak to you.

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

²⁷They understood not that he spoke to them of the Father.
