The Adulterous Woman

1 But Jesus° went° to athe Mount° of Olives°. 2 Early° in the morning° He came° again° into the temple°, and all° the people° were coming° to Him; and aHe sat° down° and [began] to teach° them. 3 The scribes° and the Pharisees° *brought° a woman° caught° in adultery°, and having set° her in the center° [of the court], 4 they *said° to Him, “Teacher°, this° woman° has been caught° in adultery°, in the very° act°. 5 Now° in the Law° aMoses° commanded° us to stone° such° women°; what° then° do You say°?” 6 They were saying° this°, atesting° Him, bso° that they might have° grounds for accusing° Him. But Jesus° stooped° down° and with His finger° wrote° on the ground°. 7 But when° they persisted° in asking° Him, aHe straightened° up, and said° to them, bHe who is without° sin° among you, let him [be the] cfirst° to throw° a stone° at her.” 8 Again° He stooped° down° and wrote° on the ground°. 9 When they heard° it, they [began] to go° out one° by one°, beginning° with the older° ones°, and He was left° alone°, and the woman°, where she was, in the center° [of the court]. 10 aStraightening° up, Jesus° said° to her, “Woman°, where° are they? Did no° one° condemn° you?” 11 She said°, “No° one°, ILord°.” And Jesus° said°, aI do not condemn° you, either°. Go°. From now° on bsin° no° more°.”]]

Jesus Is the Light of the World

12 ¶ Then° Jesus° again° spoke° to them, saying°, aI am° the Light° of the world°; bhe who follows° Me will not walk° in the darkness°, but will have° the Light° of life°.” 13 So° the Pharisees° said° to Him, “aYou are testifying° about° Yourself°; Your testimony° is not Itrue°.” 14 Jesus° answered° and said° to them, aEven° if° I testify° about° Myself°, My testimony° is Itrue°, for I know° bwhere° I came° from and where° I am going°; but cyou do not know° where° I come° from or° where° I am going°. 15 aYou judge° Iaccording° to the flesh°; bI am not judging° anyone°. 16 But even° aif° I do judge°, My judgment° is true°; for I am° not alone° [in it], but I and the Father who sent° Me. 17 Even° in ayour law° it has been written° that the testimony° of btwo° men° is Itrue°. 18 I am° He who testifies° about° Myself°, and athe Father° who sent° Me testifies° about° Me.” 19 So° they were saying° to Him, “Where° is Your Father°?” Jesus° answered°, “You know° neither° Me nor° My Father°; aif° you knew° Me, you would know° My Father° also°.” 20 These° words° He spoke° in athe treasury°, as bHe taught° in the temple°; and no° one° seized° Him, because° cHis hour° had not yet° come°.

Christ delivereth the woman taken in adultery.

1º Jesusº wentºª untoº the² mountº of Olives.º 2 Andº early in the morningº he cameºª againº intoº the² temple,º andº allº the² peopleº cameºª untoº him;º andº he sat down,ºª and taughtºª them.º 3 Andº the² scribesº andº Phariseesº broughtºª untoº himº a womanº takenºª inº adultery;º andº when they had setºª herº inº the midst,º 4 They sayºª unto him,º Master,º thisº womanº was takenºª in adultery,ºª in the very act.º 5 Nowº Mosesº inº the² lawº commandedºª us,º that suchº should be stoned:ºª butº whatº sayestºª thou?º 6 º Thisº they said,ºª temptingºª him,º thatº they might haveºª to accuseºª him.º Butº Jesusº stoopedºª down,º and with [his] fingerº wroteºª onº the² ground,º [as though he heardºª them not].º 7 Soº whenº they continuedºª askingºª him,º he lifted up² himself,¹ª and saidºª untoº them,º He that is without sinº among you,º let him¹ª firstº castºª a stoneº atº her.º 8 Andº againº he stoopedºª down,º and wroteºª onº the² ground.º 9 Andº they which heardºª [it],¹ being² convictedºª byº [their own] conscience,º went outºª one by one,º beginningºª atº the² eldest,º [even] untoº the² last:º andº Jesusº was leftºª alone,º andº the² womanº standingºª inº the midst.º 10 Whenº Jesusº had lifted up² himself,¹ª andº sawºª noneº butº the² woman,º he saidºª unto her,º Woman,º whereº areºª thoseº thineº accusers?º hath¹ª no manº condemnedºª thee?º 11 º She² said,ºª No man,º Lord.º Andº Jesusº saidºª unto her,º Neitherº do¹ª Iº condemnºª thee:º go,ºª andº sinºª no more.º

He preacheth himself the light of the world, and justifieth his doctrine:

12 ¶ Thenº spakeºª Jesusº againº unto them,º saying,ºª Iº amºª the² lightº of the² world:º he that followethºª meº shall¹ª notº walkºª inº darkness,º butº shall haveºª the² lightº of life.º 13 The² Phariseesº thereforeº saidºª unto him,º Thouº bearest recordºª ofº thyself;º thyº recordº isºª notº true.º 14 Jesusº answeredºª andº saidºª unto them,º Thoughº Iº bear recordºª ofº myself,º [yet] myº recordº isºª true:º forº I knowºª whenceº I came,ºª andº whitherº I go;ºª butº yeº cannot¹ tellºª² whenceº I come,ºª andº whitherº I go.ºª 15 Yeº judgeºª afterº the² flesh;º Iº judgeºª no¹ man.º 16 And¹² yet¹² ifº Iº judge,ºª myº judgmentº isºª true:º forº I amºª notº alone,º butº Iº andº the² Fatherº that sentºª me.º 17 ¹ It is¹ª² alsoº writtenºª inº yourº law,º thatº the² testimonyº of twoº menº isºª true.º 18 Iº amºª one that bear witnessºª ofº myself,º andº the² Fatherº that² sentºª meº beareth witnessºª ofº me.º 19 Thenº said² they¹ª unto him,º Whereº isºª thyº Father?º Jesusº answered,ºª Ye¹ª neitherº knowºª me,º norº myº Father:º ifº ye had knownºª me,º¹ ye should have knownºª² myº Fatherº also.¹² 20 Theseº wordsº spakeºª Jesusº inº the² treasury,º as he taughtºª inº the² temple:º andº no manº laid hands¹ª on² him;º forº hisº hourº was¹ª not yetº come.ºª 21 Thenº saidºª Jesusº againº unto them,º Iº go my way,ºª andº ye shall seekºª me,º andº shall dieºª inº yourº sins:º whitherº Iº go,ºª yeº cannotººª come.ºª 22 Thenº saidºª the² Jews,º Will² he killº¹ª himself?º becauseº he saith,ºª Whitherº Iº go,ºª yeº cannotººª come.ºª 23 Andº he saidºª unto them,º Yeº areºª fromº beneath;º Iº amºª fromº above:º yeº areºª ofº thisº world;º Iº amºª notº ofº thisº world.º 24 I saidºª thereforeº unto you,º thatº ye shall dieºª inº yourº sins:º forº if¹ª² ye believeºª not¹² thatº Iº amºª [he], ye shall dieºª inº yourº sins.º 25 Thenº said² they¹ª unto him,º Whoº artºª thou?º Andº Jesusº saithºª unto them,º Evenº¹ [the same] that² I saidºª unto youº from the² beginning.º 26 I haveºª many thingsº to sayºª andº to judgeºª ofº you:º butº he that sentºª meº isºª true;º and Iº speakºª toº the² worldº those thingsº whichº I have heardºª ofº him.º 27 They understoodºª notº thatº he spakeºª to themº of the² Father.º 28 Then¹² saidºª Jesusº unto them,º Whenº ye have lifted upºª the² Sonº of man,º then¹² shall ye knowºª thatº Iº amºª [he], andº [that] I doºª nothingº ofº myself;º butº asº myº Fatherº hath taughtºª me,º I speakºª these things.º 29 Andº he that sentºª meº isºª withº me:º the² Fatherº hath¹ª notº leftºª meº alone;º forº Iº doºª alwaysº those things that pleaseº him.º 30 As heº spakeºª these words,º manyº believedºª onº him.º 31 Thenº saidºª Jesusº toº those Jewsº which¹ believedºª on him,º Ifº yeº continueºª inº myº word,º [then] are² ye¹ª myº disciplesº indeed;º 32 Andº ye shall knowºª the² truth,º andº the² truthº shall make¹ª you¹ free.ºª²

answereth the Jews that boasted of Abraham,
