1 But|strong="G1161" Jesus|strong="G2424" went|strong="G4198" to|strong="G1519" the|strong="G1519" Mount|strong="G3735" of|strong="G2424" Olives|strong="G1636".
2 Early|strong="G3722" in|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" morning|strong="G3722" he|strong="G2532" again|strong="G3825" went|strong="G2064" to|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" temple|strong="G2411" courts. All|strong="G3956" the|strong="G2532" people|strong="G2992" came|strong="G2064", and|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" sat|strong="G2523" down|strong="G2523" and|strong="G2532" taught|strong="G1321" them|strong="G3588".
3 Then|strong="G2532" the|strong="G1722" scribes|strong="G1122" and|strong="G2532" the|strong="G1722" Pharisees|strong="G5330" brought|strong="G1161" him|strong="G3588" a|strong="G2532" woman|strong="G1135" who|strong="G3588" had|strong="G2532" been|strong="G2532" caught|strong="G2638" in|strong="G1722" adultery|strong="G3430". Making|strong="G2476" her|strong="G3588" stand|strong="G2476" before|strong="G4314" them|strong="G3588" all|strong="G2532",
4 they|strong="G3588" said|strong="G3004" to|strong="G3004" Jesus|strong="G3004", testing him|strong="G3588", “Teacher|strong="G1320", this|strong="G3778" woman|strong="G1135" was|strong="G3588" caught|strong="G2638" in|strong="G3004" the|strong="G3588" very|strong="G3778" act|strong="G1888" of|strong="G3588" committing|strong="G3431" adultery|strong="G3431".
5 In|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" law|strong="G3551", Moses|strong="G3475" commanded|strong="G1781" us|strong="G3004" that|strong="G3588" such|strong="G5108" women|strong="G5108" should|strong="G3588" be|strong="G3588" stoned|strong="G3036"; what|strong="G5101" then|strong="G3767" do|strong="G5101" yoʋ say|strong="G3004"?”
6 (They|strong="G1161" said|strong="G3004" this|strong="G3778" to|strong="G1519" test|strong="G3985" him|strong="G3588", so|strong="G2443" that|strong="G2443" they|strong="G1161" might|strong="G3778" have|strong="G2192" something to|strong="G1519" accuse|strong="G2723" him|strong="G3588" of|strong="G1093".) But|strong="G1161" Jesus|strong="G2424" stooped|strong="G2955" down|strong="G2736" and|strong="G1161" wrote|strong="G1125" with|strong="G1519" his|strong="G1519" finger|strong="G1147" on|strong="G1519" the|strong="G1519" ground|strong="G1093", taking no|strong="G3588" notice.
7 When|strong="G1161" they|strong="G1161" continued|strong="G1961" asking|strong="G2065" him|strong="G3588", he|strong="G1161" stood|strong="G3588" up|strong="G1909" and|strong="G1161" said|strong="G3004" to|strong="G4314" them|strong="G3588", “\+w Let|strong="G1161"\+w* \+w him|strong="G3588"\+w* \+w among|strong="G4314"\+w* \+w you|strong="G5210"\+w* \+w who|strong="G3588"\+w* \+w is|strong="G3588"\+w* \+w without|strong="G5613"\+w* sin \+w be|strong="G3588"\+w* \+w the|strong="G1161"\+w* \+w first|strong="G4413"\+w* \+w to|strong="G4314"\+w* throw \+w a|strong="G5613"\+w* \+w stone|strong="G3037"\+w* \+w at|strong="G1909"\+w* \+w her|strong="G3588"\+w*.”
8 And|strong="G2532" again|strong="G3825" he|strong="G2532" stooped|strong="G2955" down|strong="G2736" and|strong="G2532" wrote|strong="G1125" on|strong="G1519" the|strong="G2532" ground|strong="G1093".
9 When|strong="G1161" they|strong="G2532" heard this|strong="G3588", they|strong="G2532" were|strong="G3588" convicted|strong="G1651" by|strong="G1722" their|strong="G2532" own consciences|strong="G4893" and|strong="G2532" began|strong="G1161" to|strong="G2532" go|strong="G1831" away|strong="G1831" one|strong="G1520" by|strong="G1722" one|strong="G1520", starting with|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" older|strong="G4245" men|strong="G4245". So|strong="G2532" Jesus|strong="G2424" was|strong="G3588" left|strong="G2641" alone|strong="G3441", with|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" woman|strong="G1135" there|strong="G2532" before|strong="G1722" him|strong="G3588".
10 Then|strong="G2532" Jesus|strong="G2424" stood|strong="G3588" up|strong="G2532" and|strong="G2532" saw|strong="G2300" no|strong="G3762" one|strong="G3762" but|strong="G1161" the|strong="G2532" woman|strong="G1135". So|strong="G2532" he|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004" to|strong="G2532" her|strong="G3588", “\+w Where|strong="G4226"\+w* \+w are|strong="G1510"\+w* yoʋr \+w accusers|strong="G2725"\+w*? \+w Has|strong="G3762"\+w* \+w no|strong="G3762"\+w* \+w one|strong="G3762"\+w* \+w condemned|strong="G2632"\+w* yoʋ?”
11 She|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004", “No|strong="G3762" one|strong="G3762", Lord|strong="G2962".” Jesus|strong="G2424" said|strong="G3004", “\+w Neither|strong="G3761"\+w* \+w do|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w I|strong="G1473"\+w* pass judgment \+w on|strong="G4198"\+w* yoʋ; \+w go|strong="G4198"\+w* \+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* sin \+w no|strong="G3762"\+w* \+w more|strong="G3371"\+w*.”
12 Then|strong="G3767" Jesus|strong="G2424" spoke|strong="G2980" to|strong="G3004" them|strong="G3588" again|strong="G3825", saying|strong="G3004", “\+w I|strong="G1473"\+w* \+w am|strong="G1510"\+w* \+w the|strong="G1722"\+w* \+w light|strong="G5457"\+w* \+w of|strong="G1722"\+w* \+w the|strong="G1722"\+w* \+w world|strong="G2889"\+w*. \+w Whoever|strong="G3588"\+w* \+w follows|strong="G3004"\+w* \+w me|strong="G1473"\+w* \+w will|strong="G1510"\+w* \+w certainly|strong="G2192"\+w* \+w not|strong="G3756"\+w* \+w walk|strong="G4043"\+w* \+w in|strong="G1722"\+w* \+w darkness|strong="G4653"\+w*, \+w but|strong="G3361"\+w* \+w will|strong="G1510"\+w* \+w have|strong="G2192"\+w* \+w the|strong="G1722"\+w* \+w light|strong="G5457"\+w* \+w of|strong="G1722"\+w* \+w life|strong="G2222"\+w*.”
13 So|strong="G3767" the|strong="G3588" Pharisees|strong="G5330" said|strong="G3004" to|strong="G3004" him|strong="G3588", “Yoʋ are|strong="G1510" testifying|strong="G3140" about|strong="G4012" yoʋrself, so|strong="G3767" yoʋr testimony|strong="G3141" is|strong="G1510" not|strong="G3756" valid.”
14 Jesus|strong="G2424" answered|strong="G3004" them|strong="G3588", “\+w Even|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w if|strong="G2579"\+w* \+w I|strong="G1473"\+w* \+w testify|strong="G3140"\+w* \+w about|strong="G4012"\+w* \+w myself|strong="G1683"\+w*, \+w my|strong="G1473"\+w* \+w testimony|strong="G3141"\+w* \+w is|strong="G1510"\+w* valid, \+w for|strong="G3754"\+w* \+w I|strong="G1473"\+w* \+w know|strong="G1492"\+w* \+w where|strong="G4226"\+w* \+w I|strong="G1473"\+w* \+w came|strong="G2064"\+w* \+w from|strong="G2064"\+w* \+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w where|strong="G4226"\+w* \+w I|strong="G1473"\+w* \+w am|strong="G1510"\+w* \+w going|strong="G5217"\+w*, \+w but|strong="G1161"\+w* \+w you|strong="G5210"\+w* \+w do|strong="G1492"\+w* \+w not|strong="G3756"\+w* \+w know|strong="G1492"\+w* \+w where|strong="G4226"\+w* \+w I|strong="G1473"\+w* \+w come|strong="G2064"\+w* \+w from|strong="G2064"\+w* \+w or|strong="G2228"\+w* \+w where|strong="G4226"\+w* \+w I|strong="G1473"\+w* \+w am|strong="G1510"\+w* \+w going|strong="G5217"\+w*.

19 Then|strong="G3767" they|strong="G2532" said|strong="G3004" to|strong="G2532" him|strong="G3588", “Where|strong="G4226" is|strong="G1510" yoʋr father|strong="G3962"?” Jesus|strong="G2424" answered|strong="G3004", “\+w You|strong="G4771"\+w* \+w neither|strong="G3777"\+w* \+w know|strong="G1492"\+w* \+w me|strong="G1473"\+w* \+w nor|strong="G3777"\+w* \+w my|strong="G1473"\+w* \+w Father|strong="G3962"\+w*. \+w If|strong="G1487"\+w* \+w you|strong="G4771"\+w* \+w knew|strong="G1492"\+w* \+w me|strong="G1473"\+w*, \+w you|strong="G4771"\+w* \+w would|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w know|strong="G1492"\+w* \+w my|strong="G1473"\+w* \+w Father|strong="G3962"\+w* \+w as|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w well|strong="G2532"\+w*.”
20 (Jesus|strong="G2532" spoke|strong="G2980" these|strong="G3778" words|strong="G4487" in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" treasury|strong="G1049" as|strong="G1722" he|strong="G2532" taught|strong="G1321" in|strong="G1722" the|strong="G1722" temple|strong="G2413" courts.

21 Then|strong="G3767" Jesus|strong="G3004" said|strong="G3004" to|strong="G2532" them|strong="G3588" again|strong="G3825", “\+w I|strong="G1473"\+w* \+w am|strong="G1473"\+w* \+w going|strong="G5217"\+w* \+w away|strong="G5217"\+w*, \+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w you|strong="G5210"\+w* \+w will|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w seek|strong="G2212"\+w* \+w me|strong="G1473"\+w*, \+w but|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w you|strong="G5210"\+w* \+w will|strong="G2532"\+w* die \+w in|strong="G1722"\+w* \+w your|strong="G2532"\+w* sin. \+w Where|strong="G3699"\+w* \+w I|strong="G1473"\+w* \+w am|strong="G1473"\+w* \+w going|strong="G5217"\+w*, \+w you|strong="G5210"\+w* \+w cannot|strong="G1410"\+w* \+w come|strong="G2064"\+w*.”

54 Jesus|strong="G2424" answered|strong="G3004", “\+w If|strong="G1437"\+w* \+w I|strong="G1473"\+w* \+w glorify|strong="G1392"\+w* \+w myself|strong="G1683"\+w*, \+w my|strong="G1473"\+w* \+w glory|strong="G1391"\+w* \+w is|strong="G1510"\+w* \+w nothing|strong="G3762"\+w*. \+w It|strong="G3754"\+w* \+w is|strong="G1510"\+w* \+w my|strong="G1473"\+w* \+w Father|strong="G3962"\+w* \+w who|strong="G3739"\+w* \+w glorifies|strong="G1392"\+w* \+w me|strong="G1473"\+w*, \+w of|strong="G2316"\+w* \+w whom|strong="G3739"\+w* \+w you|strong="G5210"\+w* \+w say|strong="G3004"\+w*, ‘\+w He|strong="G3739"\+w* \+w is|strong="G1510"\+w* \+w our|strong="G2316"\+w* \+w God|strong="G2316"\+w*.’
