St. John 8:4-24 Jubilee Bible (JUB)

4. they said unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery in the very act.

5. Now Moses in the law commanded us that such should be stoned, but what sayest thou?

6. This they said, tempting him, that they might be able to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down and with his finger wrote on the ground.

7. So when they continued asking him, he lifted himself up and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him be the first to cast a stone at her.

8. And again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.

9. And those who heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest even unto the last; and Jesus was left alone and the woman that had been in the midst.

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

11. And she said, No one, Lord. Then Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee; go and sin no more.

12. Then Jesus spoke again unto 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. Then the Pharisees said unto him, Thou dost bear witness of thyself; thy witness is not true.

14. Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear witness of myself, my witness is true, for I know from where I came and where I go; but ye do not know where I came from and where I go.

15. Ye judge after the flesh, but I judge no one.

16. And yet if I judge, my judgment is true, for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.

17. It is also written in your law that the testimony of two men is true.

18. I AM one that bears witness of myself, and the Father that sent me bears witness of me.

19. Then they said unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father; if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.

20. Jesus spoke these words in the treasury as he taught in the temple, and no one laid hands on him, for his hour was not yet come.

21. Then Jesus said again unto them, I am going away, and ye shall seek me, but ye shall die in your sins; where I go, ye shall not be able to come.

22. Then the Jews said, Will he kill himself? because he says, Where I go, ye shall not be able to come.

23. And he said unto them, Ye are from below, I am from above; ye are of this world, I am not of this world.

24. Therefore I said unto you that ye shall die in your sins, for if ye do not believe that I AM, ye shall die in your sins.
