5. Now Moses in the law commanded us to stone such, but what do You say?”
6. They said this, testing Him, that they might have something of which to accuse Him.But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with His finger, as though He did not hear them.
7. So when they continued asking Him, He stood up and said to them, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.”
8. Again He stooped down and wrote on the ground.
9. Being convicted by their conscience, those who heard it went out one by one, beginning with the eldest even to the last. Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
10. When Jesus had stood up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, “Woman, where are your accusers? Did no one condemn you?”
11. She said, “No one, Lord.”Jesus said to her, “Neither do I condemn you. Go and sin no more.”
12. Again, Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life.”
13. The Pharisees therefore said to Him, “You bear witness of Yourself. Your testimony is not true.”
14. Jesus answered them, “Though I bear witness of Myself, My testimony is true. For I know where I came from and where I am going. But you do not know where I came from or where I am going.
15. You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.
16. Yet if I do judge, My judgment is true. For I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent Me.
17. Even in your law it is written that the testimony of two men is true.
18. I am One who bears witness of Myself, and the Father that sent Me bears witness of Me.”
19. Then they said to Him, “Where is Your Father?”Jesus answered, “You know neither Me nor My Father. If you knew Me, you would know My Father also.”
20. Jesus spoke these words in the treasury, as He taught in the temple. No one arrested Him, for His hour had not yet come.
21. Again, Jesus said to them, “I am going away, and you will seek Me, and you will die in your sins. Where I am going, you cannot come.”
22. So the Jews said, “Will He kill Himself? For He said, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come.’ ”
23. He said to them, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.
24. Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins. For unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.”
