¹ + Jesus went to the mount of Olives. ² And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him; and he sat down, and taught them. ³ And the scribes and Pharisees brought to him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, ⁴ They say to 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 say you? 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 to 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 oldest, even to 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 to her, Woman, where are those your accusers? has no man condemned you? ¹¹ + She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said to her, Neither do I condemn you: go, and sin no more. ¹² Then spoke Jesus again to them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life. ¹³ The Pharisees therefore said to him, You bear record of yourself; your record is not true. ¹⁴ Jesus answered and said to them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know where I came, and where I go; but you cannot tell where I come, and where I go. ¹⁵ You 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 bears witness of me. ¹⁹ Then said they to him, Where is your Father? Jesus answered, You neither know me, nor my Father: if you had known me, you should have known my Father also. ²⁰ These words spoke 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 to them, I go my way, and you will seek me, and will die in your sins: where I go, you cannot+ come. ²² Then said the Jews, Will he kill+ himself? because he said, Where I go, you cannot+ come. ²³ And he said to them, You are from beneath; I am from above: you are of this world; I am not of this world. ²⁴ I said therefore to you, that you will die in your sins: for if you believe not that I am he, you will die in your sins. ²⁵ Then said they to him, Who are you? And Jesus says to them, Even+ the same that I said to 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 spoke to them of the Father. ²⁸ Then said Jesus to them, When you have lifted up the Son of man, then will you know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father has taught me, I speak these things. ²⁹ And he that sent me is with me: the Father has not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him. ³⁰ As he spoke these words, many believed on him. ³¹ Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If you continue in my word, then are you my disciples indeed; ³² And you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free. ³³ They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how say you, You will be made free? ³⁴ Jesus answered them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Whoever commits sin is the servant of sin. ³⁵ And the servant abides not in the house for ever: but the Son abides+ ever. ³⁶ If the Son therefore will make you free, you will be free indeed. ³⁷ I know that you are Abraham's seed; but you seek to kill me, because my word has no place in you. ³⁸ I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and you do that which you have seen with your father. ³⁹ They answered and said to him, Abraham is our father. Jesus said to them, If you were Abraham's children, you would do+ the works of Abraham. ⁴⁰ But now you seek to kill me, a man that has told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham. ⁴¹ You do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God. ⁴² Jesus+ said to them, If God were your Father, you would love me: for I proceeded forward and came from God; neither+ came I of myself, but he sent me. ⁴³ Why do you not understand my speech? even because you cannot+ hear my word. ⁴⁴ You are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and stayed not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. ⁴⁵ And because I tell you the truth, you believe me not. ⁴⁶ Which of you convinces me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do you not believe me? ⁴⁷ He that is of God hears God's words: you therefore+ hear them not, because you are not of God. ⁴⁸ Then answered the Jews, and said to him, Say we not well that you are a Samaritan, and have a devil? ⁴⁹ Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and you do dishonour me. ⁵⁰ And I seek not my own glory: there is one that seeks and judges. ⁵¹ Truly, truly, I say to you, If a man keep my saying, he will never+ + see death. ⁵² Then said the Jews to him, Now we know that you have a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and you say, If a man keep my saying, he will never+ + taste of death. ⁵³ are+ you greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: who make you yourself? ⁵⁴ Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honors me; of who you say, that he is your God: ⁵⁵ Yet you have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I will be a liar like to you: but I know him, and keep his saying. ⁵⁶ Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. ⁵⁷ Then said the Jews to him, You are not yet fifty Then said the Jews to him, You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham? ⁵⁸ Jesus said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, Before Abraham was, I am. ⁵⁹ Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
