John 8:1-14 ▼

1 And Iesus went vnto the mount of Oliues,

2 And early in the morning came againe into the Temple, and all the people came vnto him, and he sate downe, and taught them.

3 Then the Scribes, & the Pharises brought vnto him a woman, taken in adulterie, and set her in the middes,

4 And said vnto him, Master, we foud this woman committing adulterie, euen in the very acte.

5 Now Moses in our Law commanded, that such should be stoned: what sayest thou therefore?

6 And this they saide to tempt him, that they might haue, whereof to accuse him. But Iesus stouped downe, & with his finger wrote on the groud.

7 And while they continued asking him, hee lift himselfe vp, and sayde vnto them, Let him that is among you without sinne, cast the first stone at her.

8 And againe hee stouped downe, and wrote on the ground.

9 And when they heard it, being accused by their owne conscience, they went out one by one, beginning at ye eldest euen to the last: so Iesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the mids.

10 When Iesus had lift vp himselfe againe, and sawe no man, but the woman, hee saide vnto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? Hath no man condemned thee?

11 She said, No man, Lord; Iesus said, Neither do I condemne thee: go and sinne no more.

12 Then spake Iesus againe vnto them, saying, I am that light of the worlde: hee that followeth mee, shall not walke in darkenes, but shall haue that light of life.

13 The Pharises therefore saide vnto him, Thou bearest recorde of thy selfe: thy recorde is not true.

14 Iesus answered, and sayde vnto them, Though I beare recorde of my selfe, yet my recorde is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go: but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I goe.
