John 8:2–20

²and all the people were coming unto him, and having sat down, he was teaching them; ³and the scribes and the Pharisees bring unto him a woman having been taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst, ⁴they say to him, ‘Teacher, this woman was taken in the very crime—committing adultery, ⁵and in the law, Moses did command us that such be stoned; thou, therefore, what dost thou say?’ ⁶and this they said, trying him, that they might have to accuse him. And Jesus, having stooped down, with the finger he was writing on the ground, ⁷and when they continued asking him, having bent himself back, he said unto them, ‘The sinless of you—let him first cast the stone at her;’ ⁸and again having stooped down, he was writing on the ground, ⁹and they having heard, and by the conscience being convicted, were going forth one by one, having begun from the elders—unto the last; and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. ¹⁰And Jesus having bent himself back, and having seen no one but the woman, said to her, ‘Woman, where are those—thine accusers? did no one pass sentence upon thee?’ ¹¹and she said, ‘No one, Sir;’ and Jesus said to her, ‘Neither do I pass sentence on thee; be going on, and no more sin.’

¹²Again, therefore, Jesus spake to them, saying, ‘I am the light of the world; he who is following me shall not walk in the darkness, but he shall have the light of the life.’ ¹³The Pharisees, therefore, said to him, ‘Thou of thyself dost testify, thy testimony is not true;’ ¹⁴Jesus answered and said to them, ‘And if I testify of myself—my testimony is true, because I have known whence I came, and whither I go, and ye—ye have not known whence I come, or whither I go.

¹⁵‘Ye according to the flesh do judge; I do not judge any one, ¹⁶and even if I do judge my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me; ¹⁷and also in your law it hath been written, that the testimony of two men are true; ¹⁸I am one who is testifying of myself, and the Father who sent me doth testify of me.’ ¹⁹They said, therefore, to him, ‘Where is thy father?’ Jesus answered, ‘Ye have neither known me nor my Father: if me ye had known, my Father also ye had known.’ ²⁰These sayings spake Jesus in the treasury, teaching in the temple, and no one seized him, because his hour had not yet come.
