And again He stooped down and wrote on the ground.
9
Then those who heard it, being convicted by their conscience, 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.
10
When Jesus had raised Himself up and saw no one but the woman, He said to her, "Woman, where are those accusers of yours? Has no one condemned you?"
11
She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said to her, "Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more."
12
Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, "I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life."
13
The Pharisees therefore said to Him, "You bear witness of Yourself; Your witness is not true."
14
Jesus answered and said to them, "Even if I bear witness of Myself, My witness is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from and where I am going.
15
You judge according to the flesh; I judge no one.
16
And yet if I do judge, My judgment is true; for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent Me.
17
It is also written in your law that the testimony of two men is true.
18
I am One who bears witness of Myself, and the Father who sent Me bears witness of Me."
19
Then they said to Him, "Where is Your Father?" Jesus answered, "You know neither Me nor My Father. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also."
20
These words Jesus spoke in the treasury, as He taught in the temple; and no one laid hands on Him, for His hour had not yet come.
21
Then Jesus said to them again, "I am going away, and you will seek Me, and will die in your sin. Where I go you cannot come."
22
So the Jews said, "Will He kill Himself, because He says, 'Where I go you cannot come'?"
23
And He said to them, "You are from beneath; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.
24
Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins."
25
Then they said to Him, "Who are You?" And Jesus said to them, "Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.
26
I have many things to say and to judge concerning you, but He who sent Me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I heard from Him."
27
They did not understand that He spoke to them of the Father.
28
Then Jesus said to them, "When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing of Myself; but as My Father taught Me, I speak these things.
