ught them. [8:3]And the scribes and Pharisees
brought him a woman taken in adultery, and placing her in the midst
[8:4]said to him, Teacher, this woman was taken in adultery, in the
very act. [8:5]In the law, Moses commanded us that such should be
stoned; what therefore do you say? [8:6]They said this to try him, that
they might have something of which to accuse him. But Jesus, stooping
down, wrote with his finger on the ground. [8:7]And when they continued
asking him, rising up, he said to them, Let him that has not sinned
among you first cast the stone at her. [8:8]And again stooping down he
wrote on the ground. [8:9]But they hearing, and being convicted by
their consciences, went out, one by one, beginning with the oldest,
even to the last; and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in
the midst. [8:10]And Jesus rising up and seeing no one but the woman,
said to her, Woman, where are those your accusers? Has no man condemned
you? [8:11]And she said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said to her, Neither
do I condemn you; go, and sin no more.

yourself; your testimony is not true. [8:14]Jesus answered and said to
them, Even if I testify of myself, my testimony is true, for I know
whence I came and whither I go; but you know not whence I come or
whither I go. [8:15]You judge according to the flesh; I judge no one;
[8:16]and even if I judge, my judgment is true, because I am not alone,
but I and the Father who sent me. [8:17]And it is written also in your
law, that the testimony of two men is true; [8:18]I am one, testifying
of myself, and the Father who sent me testifies of me. [8:19]Then they
said to him, Where is your Father? Jesus answered, You have neither
known me nor my Father; if you had known me you would also have known
my Father. [8:20]These words he said in the treasury, teaching in the
temple; and no one took him by force, for his hour had not yet come.

2 [8:21]Then Jesus said to them again, I go away, and you shall seek me
and die in your sin; where I go, you cannot come. [8:22]Then the Jews
said, Will he kill himself, that he says, Where I go you cannot come?
[8:23]And he said to them, You are from below; I am from above; you are
