John 8
1 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
ⲁ̅
2 Now very early in the morning, he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him, and he sat down and taught them.
ⲃ̅
3 Then the scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery, and having set her in the midst,
ⲅ̅
4 they said to him, "Teacher, we found this woman in adultery, in the very act.
ⲇ̅
5 Now in the Law, Moses commanded us to stone such. So what do you say?"
ⲉ̅
6 Now they said this to test him, that they might have something to accuse him of. But Jesus stooped down, and wrote on the ground with his finger.
ⲋ̅
7 But when they continued asking him, he looked up and said to them, "He who is without sin among you, let him throw the first stone at her."
ⲍ̅
8 Again he stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.
ⲏ̅
9 But when they heard it, they went out one by one, beginning from the oldest, even to the last, and he was left alone with the woman where she was, in the middle.
ⲑ̅
10 Then Jesus, standing up, said to her, "Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?"
ⲓ̅
11 And she said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you. Go, and sin no more."
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅
12 Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life."

13 The Pharisees therefore said to him, "You testify about yourself. Your testimony is not valid."

14 Jesus answered them, "Even if I testify about myself, my testimony is true, for I know where I came from, and where I am going; but you do not know where I came from, or where I am going.

17 It's also written in your Law that the testimony of two people is valid.

19 They said therefore to him, "Where is your Father?" Jesus answered, "You know neither me, nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father also."

20 Jesus spoke these words in the treasury, as he taught in the temple. Yet no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.

28 Jesus therefore said to them, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he, and I do nothing of myself, but as the Father taught me, I say these things.

44 You are of your father, the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and its father.
