John 8:1–20

Jesus went ^abunto the mount of Olives. ²And ^bearly in the morning he came again ^bcinto the temple, and all the people came unto him; and ^che sat down, and taught them. ³And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, ⁴they say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. ⁵Now ^dMoses in the law commanded us, that such ^eshould be stoned: but what sayest thou? ⁶This they said, ^ftempting him, ^gthat they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger ^hwrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. ⁷So when they continued asking him, he ⁱlift up himself, and said unto them, ^kHe that is without sin among you, ^llet him first cast a stone at her. ⁸And again he stooped down, and ^hwrote on the ground. ⁹And they which heard it, ^mbeing convicted ⁿby their own conscience, went out ^oone by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. ¹⁰When Jesus had ⁱlift up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? ¹¹She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, ^pNeither do I condemn thee: go, and ^qsin no more.

¹²Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, ^rI am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have ^rthe light of life. ¹³The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true. ¹⁴Jesus answered and said unto them, ^sThough I bear record of myself, yet ^tmy record is true: for I know ^uxwhence I came, and ^xwhither I go; but ^yye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go. ¹⁵Ye judge ^zafter the flesh; ^aI judge no man. ¹⁶And yet if I judge, ^bmy judgment is true: for ^cI am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me. ¹⁷It is also written ^din your law, that the testimony of two men is true. ¹⁸I am one that bear witness of myself, and ^ethe Father that sent me beareth witness of me. ¹⁹Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, ^fYe neither know me, nor my Father: ^gif ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also. ²⁰These words spake Jesus in ^hthe treasury, ⁱas he taught in the temple: and ^kno man laid hands on him; for ^klhis hour was not yet come.
