John 8:3-20

Mace^{(i) 3} then the Scribes and Pharisees brought a woman surprized in adultery; and when they had set her in the middle of the assembly, ⁴ they said to him, master, this woman was actually taken in adultery. ⁵ now Moses has ordain'd in the law, that such criminals should be stoned: but what is your opinion? ⁶ they said this only to ensnare him, that they might have some accusation against him. but Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground. ⁷ and as they pressed him to answer, he rais'd himself, and said to them, he that is without sin among you, let him be the first that throws a stone at her. ⁸ then stooping down again, he wrote on the ground. ⁹ but they who heard that, being convicted by their own conscience, they all went old and young one after another, so that Jesus was left alone with the woman, who still kept her place. ¹⁰ then Jesus raising himself, and seeing none but the woman there, he said to her, woman, where are your accusers? hath no man condemned thee? ¹¹ Lord, said she, no man. and Jesus said to her, neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more. ¹² Jesus then having reassumed his discourse, said to them, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me, shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. ¹³ the Pharisees therefore said to him, you give a testimony of your self, your testimony is not valid. ¹⁴ Jesus answered them, though I give testimony of my self, yet my testimony is valid: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but you do not know whence I came, nor whither I go. ¹⁵ you pass sentence according to your passions: I pass sentence on no man; ¹⁶ and yet if I did judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I am with the father who has sent me. ¹⁷ now it is written in your law, that the testimony of two men is valid. ¹⁸ I indeed do bear testimony of my self, but the father, who has sent me, beareth witness of me likewise. ¹⁹ then said they to him, where is thy father: Jesus answered, ye neither know me, nor my father: if ye knew me, ye would have known my father also. ²⁰ Jesus delivered this discourse in the treasury, when he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him, for his hour was not yet come.
