John Chapter 8
The woman taken in adultery. Christ justifies his doctrine.
8:1. And Jesus went unto mount Olivet.
8:2. And early in the morning he came again into the temple: and all the
people came to him. And sitting down he taught them.
8:3. And the scribes and Pharisees bring unto him a woman taken in
adultery: and they set her in the midst,
8:4. And said to him: Master, this woman was even now taken in adultery.
8:5. Now Moses in the law commanded us to stone such a one. But what
sayest thou?
8:6. And this they said tempting him, that they might accuse him. But
Jesus bowing himself down, wrote with his finger on the ground.
8:7. When therefore they continued asking him, he lifted up himself and
said to them: He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a
stone at her.
8:8. And again stooping down, he wrote on the ground.
8:9. But they hearing this, went out one by one, beginning at the
eldest. And Jesus alone remained, and the woman standing in the midst.
8:10. Then Jesus lifting up himself, said to her: Woman, where are they
that accused thee? Hath no man condemned thee?
8:11. Who said: No man, Lord. And Jesus said: Neither will I condemn
thee. Go, and now sin no more.
8:12. Again therefore, Jesus spoke to: them, saying: I am the light of
the world. He that followeth me walketh not in darkness, but shall have
the light of life.
8:13. The Pharisees therefore said to him: Thou givest testimony of
thyself. Thy testimony is not true.
8:14. Jesus answered and said to them: Although I give testimony of
myself, my testimony is true: for I know whence I came and whither I go.
8:15. You judge according to the flesh: I judge not any man.
8:16. And if I do judge, my judgment is true: because I am not alone,
but I and the Father that sent me.
8:17. And in your law it is written that the testimony of two men is
true.
8:18. I am one that give testimony of myself: and the Father that sent
me giveth testimony of me.
8:19. They said therefore to him: Where is thy Father? Jesus answered:
Neither me do you know, nor my Father. If you did know me, perhaps you
would know my Father also.
8:20. These words Jesus spoke in the treasury, teaching in the temple:
and no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.
8:21. Again therefore Jesus said to them: I go: and you shall seek me.
And you shall die in your sin. Whither I go, you cannot come.
