John 8
1 But Jesus continued on to the Mount of Olives.
ⲁ̅
2 And early in the morning, he went again to the temple; and all the people came to him. And sitting down, he taught them.
ⲃ̅
3 Now the scribes and Pharisees brought forward a woman caught in adultery, and they stood her in front of them.
ⲅ̅
4 And they said to him: “Teacher, this woman was just now caught in adultery.
ⲇ̅
5 And in the law, Moses commanded us to stone such a one. Therefore, what do you say?”
ⲉ̅
6 But they were saying this to test him, so that they might be able to accuse him. Then Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the earth.
ⲋ̅
7 And then, when they persevered in questioning him, he stood upright and said to them, “Let whoever is without sin among you be the first to cast a stone at her.”
ⲍ̅
8 And bending down again, he wrote on the earth.
ⲏ̅
9 But upon hearing this, they went away, one by one, beginning with the eldest. And Jesus alone remained, with the woman standing in front of him.
ⲑ̅
10 Then Jesus, raising himself up, said to her: “Woman, where are those who accused you? Has no one condemned you?”
ⲓ̅
11 And she said, “No one, Lord.” Then Jesus said: “Neither will I condemn you. Go, and now do not choose to sin anymore.”
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅
12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying: “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me does not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”

13 And so the Pharisees said to him, “You offer testimony about yourself; your testimony is not true.”

14 Jesus responded and said to them: “Even though I offer testimony about myself, my testimony is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going.

16 And when I do judge, my judgment is true. For I am not alone, but it is I and he who sent me: the Father.

17 And it is written in your law that the testimony of two men is true.

19 Therefore, they said to him, “Where is your Father?” Jesus answered: “You know neither me, nor my Father. If you did know me, perhaps you would know my Father also.”

20 Jesus spoke these words at the treasury, while teaching in the temple. And no one apprehended him, because his hour had not yet come.

21 Therefore, Jesus again spoke to them: “I am going, and you shall seek me. And you will die in your sin. Where I am going, you are not able to go.”

22 And so the Jews said, “Is he going to kill himself, for he said: ‘Where I am going, you are not able to go?’”

23 And he said to them: “You are from below. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world.

24 Therefore, I said to you, that you will die in your sins. For if you will not believe that I am, you will die in your sin.”

25 And so they said to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them: “The Beginning, who is also speaking to you.

27 And they did not realize that he was calling God his Father.

28 And so Jesus said to them: “When you will have lifted up the Son of man, then you shall realize that I am, and that I do nothing of myself, but just as the Father has taught me, so do I speak.

33 They answered him: “We are the offspring of Abraham, and we have never been a slave to anyone. How can you say, ‘You shall be set free?’”

42 Then Jesus said to them: “If God were your father, certainly you would love me. For I proceeded and came from God. For I did not come from myself, but he sent me.

44 You are of your father, the devil. And you will carry out the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning. And he did not stand in the truth, because the truth is not in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks it from his own self. For he is a liar, and the father of lies.
