John 8:9-19

9 One by one, beginning with the older men, the scribes and Pharisees left. Jesus was left alone with the woman.

10 Then Jesus straightened up and asked her, "Where did they go? Has anyone condemned you?"

11 The woman answered, "No one, sir." Jesus said, "I don't condemn you either. Go! From now on don't sin."

12 Jesus spoke to the Pharisees again. He said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will have a life filled with light and will never live in the dark."

13 The Pharisees said to him, "You testify on your own behalf, so your testimony isn't true."

14 Jesus replied to them, "Even if I testify on my own behalf, my testimony is true because I know where I came from and where I'm going. However, you don't know where I came from or where I'm going.

15 You judge the way humans do. I don't judge anyone.

16 Even if I do judge, my judgment is valid because I don't make it on my own. I make my judgment with the Father who sent me.

17 Your own teachings say that the testimony of two people is true.

18 I testify on my own behalf, and so does the Father who sent me."

19 The Pharisees asked him, "Where is your father?" Jesus replied, "You don't know me or my Father. If you knew me, you would also know my Father."
