Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.
2
And early in the morning he came again into the temple,
and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.
3
And the scribes and Pharisees
brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
4
They say
unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
5
Now Moses in the law
commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
6
This they said, tempting him,
that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with
his
finger wrote on the
ground,
as though he heard them not.
7
So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself,
and said unto them,
He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
8
And again
he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
9
And they which heard
it,
being convicted by
their
own
conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest,
even
unto the last: and Jesus was left
alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
10
When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but
the woman, he said unto her,
Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned
thee?
11
She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her,
Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin
no more.
12
Then spake Jesus again unto 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.
13
The Pharisees therefore said unto him,
Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true.
14
Jesus answered and said unto them,
Though
I bear record of myself,
yet
my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye
cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go.
15
Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.
16
And
yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
17
It is
also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.
18
I am one that bear witness of
myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.
19
Then said they unto him, Where is
thy Father? Jesus answered,
Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should
have known my Father also.
20
These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple:
and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.
21
Then said Jesus again unto them,
I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.
22
Then
said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith,
Whither I go, ye cannot come.
23
And he said
unto them,
Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
24
I
said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am
he,
ye shall die
in your sins.
25
Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them,
Even
the same
that I said unto you from the beginning.
26
I 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 of him.
27
They
understood not that he spake to them of the Father.
28
Then said Jesus unto 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.
29
And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath
not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.
30
As he spake these words, many
believed on him.
31
Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him,
If ye continue in my
