John 8
1 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
ⲁ̅
2 At break of day however He returned to the Temple, and there the people came to Him in crowds. He seated Himself;
ⲃ̅
3 and was teaching them when the Scribes and the Pharisees brought to Him a woman who had been found committing adultery. They made her stand in the centre of the court, and they put the case to Him.
ⲅ̅
4 "Rabbi," they said, "this woman has been found in the very act of committing adultery.
ⲇ̅
5 Now, in the Law, Moses has ordered us to stone such women to death. But what do you say?"
ⲉ̅
6 They asked this in order to put Him to the test, so that they might have some charge to bring against Him. But Jesus leant forward and began to write with His finger on the ground.
ⲋ̅
7 When however they persisted with their question, He raised His head and said to them, "Let the sinless man among you be the first to throw a stone at her."
ⲍ̅
8 Then He leant forward again, and again began to write on the ground.
ⲏ̅
9 They listened to Him, and then, beginning with the eldest, took their departure, one by one, till all were gone. And Jesus was left behind alone--and the woman in the centre of the court.
ⲑ̅
10 Then, raising His head, Jesus said to her, "Where are they? Has no one condemned you?"
ⲓ̅
11 "No one, Sir," she replied. "And I do not condemn you either," said Jesus; "go, and from this time do not sin any more."]
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅
12 Once more Jesus addressed them. "I am the Light of the world," He said; "the man who follows me shall certainly not walk in the dark, but shall have the light of Life."

13 "You are giving testimony about yourself," said the Pharisees; "your testimony is not true."

14 "Even if I am giving testimony about myself," replied Jesus, "my testimony is true; for I know where I came from and where I am going, but you know neither of these two things.

16 And even if I do judge, my judgement is just; for I am not alone, but the Father who sent me is with me.

17 In your own Law, too, it is written that the testimony of two men is true.

19 "Where is your Father?" they asked. "You know my Father as little as you know me." He replied; "if you knew me, you would know my Father also."

20 These sayings He uttered in the Treasury, while teaching in the Temple; yet no one arrested Him, because His time had not yet come.

22 The Jews began to ask one another, "Is he going to kill himself, do you think, that he says, 'Where I am going, it is impossible for you to come'?"

25 "You--who are you?" they asked. "How is it that I am speaking to you at all?" replied Jesus.

26 "Many things I have to speak and to judge concerning you. But He who sent me is true, and the things which I have heard from Him are those which I have come into the world to speak."

28 So Jesus added, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He. Of myself I do nothing; but as the Father has taught me, so I speak.

30 As He thus spoke, many became believers in Him.

44 The father whose sons you are is the Devil; and you desire to do what gives him pleasure. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand firm in the truth--for there is no truth in him.
