Those who heard this, being convicted by their own conscience, went out
one by one, beginning with the eldest and down to the last. Now Jesus
was left alone and the woman was standing in the midst. When Jesus lifted
Himself up and saw none but the woman, He said unto her, Woman, where are
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 spoke 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 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 because 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 because I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me are one.
It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true. I
am one that beareth witness of myself. The Father that sent me also
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. Jesus spoke these words in the treasury as
He taught in the temple. No man laid hands on Him becuase His hour was
not yet come.
Jesus said unto them, I go my way. 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 because 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. The same that I
said to you from the beginning. I have many things to say and to judge
of you. But He that sent me is true. I speak to the world those things
which I have heard from Him. They understood not that He spoke to them
of the Father. Then said Jesus, When ye have lifted up the Son of man
then shall ye know that I am He. I do nothing of myself. As my Father
hath taught me I speak these things. He that sent me is with me. The
Father hath not left me alone because I do always those things that
please Him. As He spoke these words many believed Him.
