But Jesus went to the mount of Olives. . .
And early in the morning he came again to the temple, and all the people were coming unto him; and he sat down, and was teaching them.
And the scribes and the Pharisees bring to him a woman taken in adultery, and having set her in [the] midst,
they say to him, Teacher, this woman was taken in the very act of adultery.
Now in the law Moses charged us to stone such: thou, therefore, what sayest thou?
But this they said proving him, that they might have [whereof] to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger was writing on the ground.
And when they continued asking him, he lifted himself up and said to them, Let him that is without sin among you first cast the stone at her;
and, again stooping down, he was writing on the ground.
But they, having heard [it], kept going out one by one, beginning from the elder ones until the last; and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in [the] midst.
And Jesus lifting himself up, and beholding no one but the woman, said to her, Woman, where are they, thine accusers? Did no one condemn thee?
And she said, No one, Sir. And Jesus said to her, Neither do I condemn thee: go and sin no more.
Again therefore Jesus spoke to them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall in no wise walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
The Pharisees therefore said to him, Thou bearest witness of thyself; thy witness is not true.
Jesus answered and said to them, Even though I bear witness of myself, my witness is true; for I know whence I came, and where I go, [but] ye know not whence I come or where I go.
Ye judge according to the flesh, I judge no one.
And if also I judge, my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
And in your law too it is written that the witness of two men is true:
I am he that testifieth concerning myself, and the Father that sent me testifieth concerning me.
They said to him then, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye know neither me nor my Father. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.
These words he spoke in the treasury, teaching in the temple; and no one seized him, because his hour was not yet come.
He said therefore again to them, I go away, and ye shall seek me and shall die in your sin: where I go away, ye cannot come.
The Jews therefore said, Will he kill himself because he saith, Where I go away, ye cannot come?
And he said to them, Ye are of the things beneath, I am of those above; ye are of this world, I am not of this world.
I said therefore to you that ye shall die in your sins; for, unless ye believe that I am [he], ye shall die in your sins.
They said therefore to him, Who art thou? Jesus said to them, Absolutely that which I am also speaking to you.
I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you; but he that sent me is true, and I, what I heard from him, speak these things unto the world.
They knew not that he was speaking to them of the Father.
Then said Jesus [to them], When ye shall have lifted up the Son of man, then ye shall know that I am [he] and from myself do nothing, but, even as the Father taught me, these things I speak.
And he that sent me is with me: he left me not alone, because the things pleasing to him I do always.
While he was speaking these things, many believed on him.
Jesus therefore said to the Jews that had believed him, If ye abide in my word, ye are truly my disciples;
and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
They answered him, We are Abraham’s seed, and have never been in bondage to anyone: how sayest thou, Ye shall become free?
Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say to you, Every one that practiceth sin is a bondman of sin.
Now the bondman abideth not in the house forever; the son abideth forever.
If therefore the Son shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
I know that ye are Abraham’s seed, but ye seek to kill me because my word maketh no way in you.
I speak what I have seen with my Father, and ye therefore practice what ye have seen with your father.
They answered and said to him, Our father is Abraham. Jesus saith to them, If ye are Abraham’s children, ye would practice the works of Abraham;
but now ye seek to kill me, a man who hath spoken to you the truth which I heard from God: this Abraham did not practice.
Ye practice the works of your father. They said [therefore] to him, We were not born of fornication; we have one father, God.
Jesus said to them, If God were your father, ye would have loved me, for I came forth from God and am come; for neither have I come of myself, but he sent me.
Why do ye not know my speech? Because ye cannot hear my word.
Ye are of your father, the devil, and ye desire to practice the lusts of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and standeth not in the truth, because there is no truth in him: whenever he speaketh the lie, he speaketh out of his own things, because he is a liar, and the father of it.
But because I speak the truth, ye believe me not.
Which of you convinceth me of sin? If I speak truth, why do ye not believe me?
He that is of God heareth the words of God; for this cause ye hear [them] not, because ye are not of God.
The Jews answered and said to him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a demon?
Jesus answered, I have not a demon, but honour my Father, and ye dishonour me.
But I seek not my glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.
Verily, verily, I say to you, If anyone keep my word, death he shall in no wise behold forever.
The Jews therefore said to him, Now we know that thou hast a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If anyone keep my word, he shall never taste of death.
Art thou greater than our father Abraham who died, and the prophets died? whom makest thou thyself?
Jesus answered, If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing; it is my Father that glorifieth me, of whom ye say, He is our God,
and ye have not known him, but I know him; and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be like you a liar; but I know him, and keep his word.
Abraham your father exulted to see my day, and he saw and rejoiced.
The Jews therefore said to him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
Jesus said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, Before Abraham was , I am.
They took up therefore stones to cast at him; but Jesus hid himself, and went out from the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.
