8And againe hee stouped downe, and wrote on the ground.
9And when they heard it, being accused by their owne conscience, they went out one by one, beginning at ye eldest euen to the last: so Iesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the mids.
10When Iesus had lift vp himselfe againe, and sawe no man, but the woman, hee saide vnto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
11She said, No man, Lord. And Iesus said, Neither do I condemne thee: go and sinne no more.
12Then spake Iesus againe vnto them, saying, I am that light of the worlde: hee that followeth mee, shall not walke in darkenes, but shall haue that light of life.
13The Pharises therefore saide vnto him, Thou bearest recorde of thy selfe: thy recorde is not true.
14Iesus answered, and sayde vnto them, Though I beare recorde of my selfe, yet my recorde is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go: but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I goe.
15Ye iudge after the flesh: I iudge no man.
16And if I also iudge, my iudgement is true: for I am not alone, but I, and the Father, that sent mee.
17And it is also written in your Lawe, that the testimonie of two men is true.
18I am one that beare witnes of my selfe, and the Father that sent me, beareth witnes of me.
19Then saide they vnto him, Where is that Father of thine? Iesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor that Father of mine. If ye had knowen me, ye should haue knowen that Father of mine also.
20These wordes spake Iesus in the treasurie, as hee taught in the Temple, and no man layde handes on him: for his houre was not yet come.
21Then saide Iesus againe vnto them, I goe my way, and ye shall seeke me, and shall die in your sinnes, Whither I goe, can ye not come.
22Then said the Iewes, Will he kill himselfe, because he saith, Whither I goe, can ye not come?
23And hee saide vnto them, Ye are from beneath, I am from aboue: ye are of this world, I am not of this worlde.
24I said therefore vnto you, That ye shall die in your sinnes: for except ye beleeue, that I am he, ye shall die in your sinnes.
25Then saide they vnto him, Who art thou? And Iesus saide vnto them, Euen the same thing that I said vnto you from the beginning.
26I haue many things to say, and to iudge of you: but he that sent me, is true, and the things that I haue heard of him, those speake I to the world.
27They vnderstoode not that hee spake to them of the Father.
28Then said Iesus vnto them, When ye haue lift vp the Sonne of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I doe nothing of my selfe, but as my Father hath taught me, so I speake these things.
29For he that sent me, is with me: the Father hath not left me alone, because I do alwayes those things that please him.
30As hee spake these thinges, many beleeued in him.
31Then saide Iesus to the Iewes which beleeued in him, If ye continue in my worde, ye are verely my disciples,
32And shall know the trueth, and the trueth shall make you free.
33They answered him, Wee be Abrahams seede, and were neuer bonde to any man: why sayest thou then, Ye shalbe made free?
34Iesus answered them, Verely, verely I say vnto you, that whosoeuer committeth sinne, is the seruant of sinne.
35And the seruant abideth not in the house for euer: but the Sonne abideth for euer.
36If that Sonne therefore shall make you free, ye shalbe free in deede.
37I know that ye are Abrahams seede, but yee seeke to kill mee, because my worde hath no place in you.
38I speake that which I haue seene with my Father: and ye doe that which ye haue seene with your father.
39They answered, and saide vnto him, Abraham is our father. Iesus said vnto them, If ye were Abrahams children, ye woulde doe the workes of Abraham.
40But nowe ye goe about to kill mee, a man that haue told you the trueth, which I haue heard of God: this did not Abraham.
41Ye do the workes of your father. Then said they to him, We are not borne of fornication: we haue one Father, which is God.
42Therefore Iesus sayde vnto them, If God were your Father, then woulde ye loue mee: for I proceeded foorth, and came from God, neither came I of my selfe, but he sent me.
43Why doe ye not vnderstande my talke? because ye cannot heare my worde.
44Ye are of your father the deuill, and the lustes of your father ye will doe: hee hath bene a murtherer from the beginning, and abode not in the trueth, because there is no trueth in him. When hee speaketh a lie, then speaketh hee of his owne: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.
45And because I tell you the trueth, yee beleeue me not.
46Which of you can rebuke me of sinne? and if I say the trueth, why do ye not beleeue me?
47He that is of God, heareth Gods wordes: yee therefore heare them not, because ye are not of God.
