John 8:8-35

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

⁹And they who heard it , being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even to the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

¹⁰When Jesus had raised himself, and saw none but the woman, he said to her, Woman, where are those thy accusers? hath no man condemned thee?

¹¹She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said to her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

¹²Then Jesus spoke again to them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

¹³The Pharisees therefore said to him, Thou testifiest concerning thyself; thy testimony is not true.

¹⁴Jesus answered and said to them, Though I testify concerning myself, yet my testimony is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go.

¹⁵Ye judge after the flesh, I judge no man.

¹⁶And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.

¹⁷It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.

¹⁸I am one that testifieth concerning myself; and the Father that sent me, testifieth concerning me.

¹⁹Then said they to him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye would have known my Father also.

²⁰These words Jesus spoke in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him, for his hour was not yet come.

²¹Then said Jesus again to them, I am going away, and ye will seek me, and will die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.

²²Then said the Jews, will he kill himself? because 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.

²⁴I said therefore to you, that ye will die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he , ye will die in your sins.

²⁵Then said they to him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith to them, Even the same that I said to you from the beginning.

²⁶I have many things to say, and to judge of you: but he that sent me, is true: and I speak to the world those things which I have heard from him.

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

²⁸Then said Jesus to them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he , and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.

²⁹And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.

³⁰As he spoke these words, many believed on him.

³¹Then said Jesus to those Jews who believed on him, If ye continue in my word, ye are my disciples indeed;

³²And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

³³They answered him, We are Abraham's offspring, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?

³⁴Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say to you, Whoever committeth sin, is the servant of sin.

³⁵And the servant abideth not in the house for ever, but the Son abideth for ever.
