But
Jesus stooped down and, with His finger, wrote on the ground as if He
did not hear them. When they repeated the question to Him, He stood up
and said to them, He who is without sin, let him cast a stone at her.
Then He stooped down again and wrote on the ground.
Those who heard this were stricken by their own consciences. One by
one, they went out, beginning with the eldest and down to the youngest.
Jesus was now left alone with the woman still standing in the midst.
When He stood up again and saw no one except the woman, He said to her,
Woman, where are your accusers? Has no one condemned you? She said, No
one, Lord. Then Jesus said to her, Neither do I condemn you. Go and sin
no more.
Then Jesus spoke again to the people. He said, I am the light of the
world. He who follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the
light of life. The Pharisees said to Him, You bear record of yourself.
Your record is not true. Jesus answered, Though I bear record of
myself, my record is true because I know where I came from and where I
am going. But you cannot tell from where I came, or to where I go. You
judge according to the flesh. But I judge no man. And yet, if I judge,
my judgment is true because I am not alone, but I and the Father who
sent me are one.
It is written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.
