NAS - John 8:1-20

8 The Adulterous Woman

¹But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. ²Early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people were coming to Him; and He sat down and began to teach them. ³The scribes and the Pharisees *brought a woman caught in adultery, and having set her in the center of the court, ⁴they *said to Him, "Teacher, this woman has been caught in adultery, in the very act. ⁵"Now in the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women; what then do You say?" ⁶They were saying this, testing Him, so that they might have grounds for accusing Him. But Jesus stooped down and with His finger wrote on the ground. ⁷But when they persisted in asking Him, He straightened up, and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her."⁸Again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. ⁹When 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. ¹⁰Straightening up, Jesus said to her, "Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?"¹¹She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said, "I do not condemn you, either. Go. From now on sin no more."]

Jesus Is the Light of the World

¹²Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, "I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life."¹³So the Pharisees said to Him, "You are testifying about Yourself; Your testimony is not true." ¹⁴Jesus answered and said to them, "Even if I testify about Myself, My testimony is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from or where I am going.¹⁵"You judge according to the flesh; I am not judging anyone.¹⁶"But even if 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 your law it has been written that the testimony of two men is true.¹⁸"I am He who testifies about Myself, and the Father who sent Me testifies about Me."¹⁹So they were saying 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."²⁰These words He spoke in the treasury, as He taught in the temple; and no one seized Him, because His hour had not yet come.
