John 8:9-19

⁹When they heard that, they went out one by one, beginning with the eldest; and Jesus was left alone with the woman in the middle of the Court.

¹⁰Raising himself, Jesus said to her, “Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?”

¹¹“No one, Sir,” she answered. “Neither do I condemn you,” said Jesus “go, and do not sin again.”

¹²Jesus again addressed the people. “I am the light of the world,” he said. “The person who follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

¹³“You are bearing testimony to yourself!” exclaimed the Pharisees, “your testimony is not trustworthy.”

¹⁴“Even if I bear testimony to myself,” answered Jesus, “my testimony is trustworthy; for I know where I came from, and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from, nor where I am going.

¹⁵You judge by appearances; I judge no one.

¹⁶Yet, even if I were to judge, my judgement would be trustworthy; because I am not alone, but the Father who sent me is with me.

¹⁷Why, in your own Law it is said that the testimony of two persons is trustworthy.

¹⁸I, who bear testimony to myself, am one, and the Father who sent me also bears testimony to me.”

¹⁹“Where is your father, then?” they asked. “You know neither me nor my Father,” replied Jesus. “If you had known me, you would have also known my Father.”
