Jesus
went
unto
the mount
of Olives
.
And early in the morning
he came
again
into
the temple
, and
all
the people
came
unto
him
; and
he sat down
, and taught
them
.
And the scribes
and
Pharisees
brought
unto
him
a woman
taken
in
adultery
; and
when they had set
her
in
the midst
,
They say unto him
, Master
, this
woman
was taken
in adultery
, in the very act
.
Now Moses
in
the law
commanded
us
, that such
should be stoned
: but
what
sayest
thou
?
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
.
So when
they continued
asking
him
, he lifted up himself
, and said
unto
them
, He that is without sin
among you
, let him
first
cast
a stone
at
her
.
And again
he stooped
down
, and wrote
on
the ground
.
And they which heard
it ,
being convicted
by
their own conscience
, went out
one by one
, beginning
at
the eldest
, even unto
the last
: and
Jesus
was left
alone
, and
the woman
standing
in
the midst
.
When Jesus
had lifted up himself
, and
saw
none
but
the woman
, he said
unto her
, Woman
, where
are
those
thine
accusers
? hath
no man
condemned
thee
?
She said
, No man
, Lord
. And
Jesus
said
unto her
, Neither
do
I
condemn
thee
: go
, and
sin
no more
.
Then spake
Jesus
again
unto them
, saying
, I
am
the light
of the world
: he that followeth
me
shall
not
walk
in
darkness
, but
shall have
the light
of life
.
The Pharisees therefore
said
unto him
, Thou
bearest record
of
thyself
; thy
record
is
not
true
.
Jesus answered
and
said
unto them
, Though
I
bear record
of
myself
, yet my
record
is
true
: for
I know
whence
I came
, and
whither
I go
; but
ye
cannot
tell
whence
I come
, and
whither
I go
.
Ye judge
after
the flesh
; I
judge
no
man
.
And yet
if
I
judge
, my
judgment
is
true
: for
I am
not
alone
, but
I
and
the Father
that sent
me
.
It is
also
written
in
your
law
, that
the testimony
of two
men
is
true
.
I am
one that bear witness
of
myself
, and
the Father
that sent
me
beareth witness
of
me
.
Then said they
unto him
, Where
is
thy
Father
? Jesus
answered
, Ye
neither
know
me
, nor
my
Father
: if
ye had known
me
,
ye should have known
my
Father
also
.
These words
spake
Jesus
in
the treasury
, as he taught
in
the temple
: and
no man
laid hands
on him
; for
his
hour
was
not yet
come
.
Then said
Jesus
again
unto them
, I
go my way
, and
ye shall seek
me
, and
shall die
in
your
sins
: whither
I
go
, ye
cannot
come
.
Then said
the Jews
, Will he kill
himself
? because
he saith
, Whither
I
go
, ye
cannot
come
.
And he said
unto them
, Ye
are
from
beneath
; I
am
from
above
: ye
are
of
this
world
; I
am
not
of
this
world
.
I said therefore
unto you
, that
ye shall die
in
your
sins
: for
if
ye believe
not
that
I
am
he , ye shall die
in
your
sins
.
Then said they
unto him
, Who
art
thou
? And
Jesus
saith
unto them
, Even
the same that I said
unto you
from the beginning
.
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
.
They understood not
that
he spake
to them
of the Father
.
Then said
Jesus
unto them
, When
ye have lifted up
the Son
of man
, then
shall ye know
that
I
am
he , and
that I do
nothing
of
myself
; but
as
my
Father
hath taught
me
, I speak
these things
.
And he that sent
me
is
with
me
: the Father
hath
not
left
me
alone
; for
I
do
always
those things that please
him
.
As he spake
these words
, many
believed
on
him
.
Then said
Jesus
to
those Jews
which
believed
on him
, If
ye
continue
in
my
word
, then are ye
my
disciples
indeed
;
And ye shall know
the truth
, and
the truth
shall make
you
free
.
They answered him
, We be
Abraham's
seed
, and
were
never
in bondage
to any man
: how
sayest
thou
,
Ye shall be made
free
?
Jesus answered
them
, Verily
, verily
, I say
unto you
,
Whosoever
committeth
sin
is
the servant
of sin
.
And the servant
abideth
not
in
the house
for
ever
: but the Son
abideth
ever
.
If the Son
therefore
shall make
you
free
, ye shall be
free
indeed
.
I know that
ye are
Abraham's
seed
; but
ye seek
to kill
me
, because
my
word
hath
no
place
in
you
.
I speak
that which
I have seen
with
my
Father
: and
ye
do
that
which
ye have seen
with
your
father
.
They answered and
said
unto him
, Abraham
is
our
father
. Jesus
saith
unto them
, If
ye were
Abraham's
children
, ye would do
the works
of Abraham
.
But now
ye seek
to kill
me
, a man
that
hath told
you
the truth
, which
I have heard
of
God
: this
did
not
Abraham
.
Ye do
the deeds
of your
father
. Then
said they
to him
, We
be
not
born
of
fornication
; we have
one
Father
, even God
.
Jesus said
unto them
, If
God
were
your
Father
, ye would
love
me
: for
I
proceeded forth
and
came
from
God
; neither
came I
of
myself
, but
he
sent
me
.
Why do ye
not
understand
my
speech
? even because
ye cannot
hear
my
word
.
Ye are
of
your father
the devil
, and
the lusts
of your
father
ye will
do
. He
was
a murderer
from
the beginning
, and
abode
not
in
the truth
, because
there is
no
truth
in
him
. When
he speaketh
a lie
, he speaketh
of
his own
: for
he is
a liar
, and
the father
of it
.
And because
I
tell
you the truth
, ye believe
me
not
.
Which of
you
convinceth
me
of
sin
? And
if
I say
the truth
, why
do
ye
not
believe
me
?
He that is of
God
heareth
God's
words
: ye
therefore
hear
them not
, because
ye are
not
of
God
.
Then answered
the Jews
, and
said
unto him
, Say
we
not
well
that
thou
art
a Samaritan
, and
hast
a devil
?
Jesus answered
, I
have
not
a devil
; but
I honour
my
Father
, and
ye
do dishonour
me
.
And I
seek
not
mine own
glory
: there is
one that seeketh
and
judgeth
.
Verily, verily
, I say
unto you
, If
a man
keep
my
saying
, he shall
never
see
death
.
Then said
the Jews
unto him
, Now
we know
that
thou hast
a devil
. Abraham
is dead
, and
the prophets
; and
thou
sayest
, If
a man
keep
my
saying
, he shall
never
taste
of death
.
Art thou
greater than
our
father
Abraham
, which
is dead
? and
the prophets
are dead
: whom
makest
thou
thyself
?
Jesus answered
, If
I
honour
myself
, my
honour
is
nothing
: it is
my
Father
that honoureth
me
; of whom
ye
say
, that
he is
your
God
:
Yet ye have
not
known
him
; but
I
know
him
: and
if
I should say
,
I know
him
not
, I shall be
a liar
like
unto you
: but
I know
him
, and
keep
his
saying
.
Your father
Abraham
rejoiced
to
see
my
day
: and
he saw
it , and
was glad
.
Then said
the Jews
unto
him
, Thou art
not yet
fifty
years old
, and
hast thou seen
Abraham
?
Jesus said
unto them
, Verily
, verily
, I say
unto you
, Before
Abraham
was
, I
am
.
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
.
