John 8:7-17

7 When they persisted in questioning Him, He stood up and said to them, "The one without sin among you should be the first to throw a stone at her."

8 Then He stooped down again and continued writing on the ground.

9 When they heard this, they left one by one, starting with the older men. Only He was left, with the woman in the center.

10 When Jesus stood up, He said to her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?"

11 "No one, Lord,"^[a] she answered. "Neither do I condemn you," said Jesus. "Go, and from now on do not sin any more." ]^[b]

The Light of the World

12 Then Jesus spoke to them again: "I am the light of the world. Anyone who follows Me will never walk in the darkness but will have the light of life."

13 So the Pharisees said to Him, "You are testifying about Yourself. Your testimony is not valid."^[c]

14 "Even if I testify about Myself," Jesus replied, "My testimony is valid, ^[d] because I know where I came from and where I'm going. But you don't know where I come from or where I'm going.

15 You judge by human standards. ^[e] I judge no one.

16 And if I do judge, My judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent Me [judge together].

17 Even in your law it is written that the witness of two men is valid.
