New Testament in a Year

8 And Jesus went unto mount Olivet.

² And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him, and sitting down he taught them.

³ And the scribes and the Pharisees bring unto him a woman taken in adultery: and they set her in the midst,

⁴ And said to him: Master, this woman was even now taken in adultery.

⁵ Now Moses in the law commanded us to stone such a one. But what sayest thou?

⁶ And this they said tempting him, that they might accuse him. But Jesus bowing himself down, wrote with his finger on the ground.

⁷ When therefore they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said to them: He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

⁸ And again stooping down, he wrote on the ground.

⁹ But they hearing this, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest. And Jesus alone remained, and the woman standing in the midst.

¹⁰ Then Jesus lifting up himself, said to her: Woman, where are they that accused thee? Hath no man condemned thee?

¹¹ Who said: No man, Lord. And Jesus said: Neither will I condemn thee. Go, and now sin no more.

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

¹³ The Pharisees therefore said to him: Thou givest testimony of thyself: thy testimony is not true.

¹⁴ Jesus answered, and said to them: Although I give testimony of myself, my testimony is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go: but you know not whence I come, or whither I go.

¹⁵ You judge according to the flesh: I judge not any man.

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

¹⁷ And in your law it is written, that the testimony of two men is true.

¹⁸ I am one that give testimony of myself: and the Father that sent me giveth testimony of me.

¹⁹ They said therefore to him: Where is thy Father? Jesus answered: Neither me do you know, nor my Father: if you did know me, perhaps you would know my Father also.

²⁰ These words Jesus spoke in the treasury, teaching in the temple: and no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.

²¹ Again therefore Jesus said to them: I go, and you shall seek me, and you shall die in your sin. Whither I go, you cannot come.

²² The Jews therefore said: Will he kill himself, because he said: Whither 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 shall die in your sins. For if you believe not that I am he, you shall die in your sin.

²⁵ They said therefore to him: Who art thou? Jesus said to them: The beginning, who also speak unto you.

²⁶ Many things I have to speak and to judge of you. But he that sent me, is true: and the things I have heard of him, these same I speak in the world.

²⁷ And they understood not, that he called God his Father.
