1 But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
2 Early 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.
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 Moses commanded us to stone such women; what then do You say?|
6 They 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.
7 But 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.|
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 Straightening up, Jesus said to her, |Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?|
11 She said, |No one, Lord.| And Jesus said, |I do not condemn you, either. Go. From now on sin no more.]|
12 Then 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.|
13 So the Pharisees said to Him, |You are testifying about Yourself; Your testimony is not true.|
14 Jesus 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.|
