John 8:7-17

Listen to John 8:7-17
7 And when they persisted in asking him, straightening up he said to them, "The [one] of you without sin, let him throw the first stone at her!"
8 And bending down again, he wrote on the ground.
9 Now [when they] heard [it], being convicted by their conscience, they began to depart, one by one, beginning with the older ones, and Jesus was left alone--and the woman who was in [their] midst.
10 So Jesus, straightening up and seeing no one except the woman, said to her, "Where are those accusers of yours? Does no one condemn you?"
11 And she said, "No one, Lord." So Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you. Go, and sin no more."]]

Jesus, the Light of the World

12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, "I am the light of the world! The one who follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."
13 So the Pharisees said to him, "You testify concerning yourself! Your testimony is not true."
14 Jesus answered and said to them, "Even if I testify concerning myself, my testimony is true, because I know where I have come from and where I am going. But you do not know where I have come from or where I am going.
15 You judge according to externals; I do not judge anyone.
16 But even if I judge, my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me.
17 And even in your law it is written that the testimony of two men is true.
