John 8:9-19

9 But they, having heard [that], went out one by one beginning from the elder ones until the last; and Jesus was left alone and the woman standing there.

10 And Jesus, lifting himself up and seeing no one but the woman, said to her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? Has no one condemned thee?

11 And she said, No one, sir. And Jesus said to her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

12 Again therefore Jesus spoke to them, saying, I am the light of the world; he that follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

13 The Pharisees therefore said to him, Thou bearest witness concerning thyself; thy witness is not true.

14 Jesus answered and said to them, Even if I bear witness concerning myself, my witness is true, because I know whence I came and whither I go: but ye know not whence I come and whither I go.

15 Ye judge according to the flesh, I judge no one.

16 And if also I judge, my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who has sent me.

17 And in your law too it is written that the testimony of two men is true:

18 I am [one] who bear witness concerning myself, and the Father who has sent me bears witness concerning me.

19 They said to him therefore, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye know neither me nor my Father. If ye had known me, ye would have known also my Father.
