John 8
1 Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
ⲁ̅
2 Early in the morning he came to the temple again, and all the people came; he sat down and taught them.
ⲃ̅
3 The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman caught in the act of adultery. They placed her in the middle.
ⲅ̅
4 Then they said to him, “Teacher, this woman has been caught in the act of adultery.
ⲇ̅
5 Now in the law, Moses commanded us to stone such people; what do you say about her?”
ⲉ̅
6 They said this in order to trap him so that they might have something to accuse him about, but Jesus bent down and wrote on the ground with his finger.
ⲋ̅
7 When they continued asking him questions, he stood up and said to them, “The one among you who has no sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her.”
ⲍ̅
8 Again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground with his finger.
ⲏ̅
9 When they heard it, they left one by one, beginning with the oldest. Finally Jesus was left alone, with the woman who had been in the middle.
ⲑ̅
10 Jesus stood up and said to her, “Woman, where are your accusers? Did no one condemn you?”
ⲓ̅
11 She said, “No one, Lord.” Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go and sin no more.”]
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅
12 Again 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 said to him, “You bear witness about yourself; your witness is not true.”

14 Jesus answered and said to them, “Even if I bear witness about myself, my witness is true. 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.

15 You judge according the flesh; I judge no one.

16 Yet if I judge, my judgment is true because I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.

17 Yes, and in your law it is written that the testimony of two men is true.

19 They said to him, “Where is your father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither me nor my Father; if you had known me, you would have known my Father also.”

20 He said these words in the treasury as he taught in the temple, and no one arrested him because his hour had not yet come.

22 The Jews said, “Will he kill himself? Is that why he says, 'Where I am going you cannot come'?”

24 Therefore, I said to you that you will die in your sins. For unless you believe that I AM, you will die in your sins.”

25 They said therefore to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them, “What I have said to you from the beginning.

26 I have many things to speak and to judge about you. However, he who sent me is true; and the things that I heard from him, these things I say to the world.”

28 Jesus said, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then will you know that I AM, and that I do nothing of myself. As the Father taught me, I speak these things.

44 You are of your father, the devil, and you wish 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 from his own nature because he is a liar and the father of lies.
