3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
4 They say 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 say_t you₁?
6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

15 You₂ judge after the flesh; I judge no man.
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 bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me bears₃ witness of me.
19 Then said they unto him, Where is your₁ Father? Jesus answered, You₂ neither know me, nor my Father: if you₂ had known me, you₂ should have known my Father also.
20 These words spoke Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.
21 Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and you₂ shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, you₂ cannot come.
22 Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he says₃, Whither I go, you₂ cannot come.
23 And he said unto them, You₂ are from beneath; I am from above: you₂ are of this world; I am not of this world.

32 And you₂ shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
33 They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how say_t you₁, You₂ shall be made free?
34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever commits₃ sin is the servant of sin.
35 And the servant abides₃ not in the house for ever: but the Son abides₃ ever.
36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, you₂ shall be free indeed.

42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, you₂ would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.
43 Why do you₂ not understand my speech? even because you₂ cannot hear my word.
44 You₂ are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father you₂ will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks₃ a lie, he speaks₃ of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
45 And because I tell you the truth, you₂ believe me not.

55 Yet you₂ have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.
