A Woman Caught in Adultery
Jesus returned to the Mount of Olives,
Jesus returned to the Mount of Olives,
Jesus the Light of the World
But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
but early the next morning he was back again at the Temple. A crowd soon gathered, and he sat down and taught them.
As he was speaking, the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in the act of adultery. They put her in front of the crowd.
Then the scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. And when they had set her in the midst,
“Teacher,” they said to Jesus, “this woman was caught in the act of adultery.
The law of Moses says to stone her. What do you say?”
They were trying to trap him into saying something they could use against him, but Jesus stooped down and wrote in the dust with his finger.
They kept demanding an answer, so he stood up again and said, “All right, but let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone!”
Then he stooped down again and wrote in the dust.
And again He stooped down and wrote on the ground.
When the accusers heard this, they slipped away one by one, beginning with the oldest, until only Jesus was left in the middle of the crowd with the woman.
Then Jesus stood up again and said to the woman, “Where are your accusers? Didn’t even one of them condemn you?”
“No, Lord,” she said.
And Jesus said, “Neither do I. Go and sin no more.”

Jesus, the Light of the World
Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, “I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.”
Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”
The Pharisees replied, “You are making those claims about yourself! Such testimony is not valid.”
Jesus told them, “These claims are valid even though I make them about myself. For I know where I came from and where I am going, but you don’t know this about me.
Jesus answered and said to them, “Even if I bear witness of Myself, My witness is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from and where I am going.
You judge me by human standards, but I do not judge anyone.
You judge according to the flesh; I judge no one.
And yet if I do judge, My judgment is true; for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent Me.
It is also written in your law that the testimony of two men is true.
I am one witness, and my Father who sent me is the other.”
I am One who bears witness of Myself, and the Father who sent Me bears witness of Me.”
“Where is your father?” they asked.
Jesus answered, “Since you don’t know who I am, you don’t know who my Father is. If you knew me, you would also know my Father.”
Jesus answered, “Since you don’t know who I am, you don’t know who my Father is. If you knew me, you would also know my Father.”
Then they said to Him, “Where is Your Father?”
Jesus answered, “You know neither Me nor My Father. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also.”
Jesus answered, “You know neither Me nor My Father. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also.”
These words Jesus spoke in the treasury, as He taught in the temple; and no one laid hands on Him, for His hour had not yet come.
The Unbelieving People Warned
Later Jesus said to them again, “I am going away. You will search for me but will die in your sin. You cannot come where I am going.”
Jesus Predicts His Departure
Then Jesus said to them again, “I am going away, and you will seek Me, and will die in your sin. Where I go you cannot come.”
Then Jesus said to them again, “I am going away, and you will seek Me, and will die in your sin. Where I go you cannot come.”
So the Jews said, “Will He kill Himself, because He says, ‘Where I go you cannot come’?”
Jesus continued, “You are from below; I am from above. You belong to this world; I do not.
And He said to them, “You are from beneath; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.
Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.”
Then they said to Him, “Who are You?”
And Jesus said to them, “Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.
And Jesus said to them, “Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.
I have much to say about you and much to condemn, but I won’t. For I say only what I have heard from the one who sent me, and he is completely truthful.”
I have many things to say and to judge concerning you, but He who sent Me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I heard from Him.”
But they still didn’t understand that he was talking about his Father.
They did not understand that He spoke to them of the Father.
And the one who sent me is with me — he has not deserted me. For I always do what pleases him.”
And He who sent Me is with Me. The Father has not left Me alone, for I always do those things that please Him.”
Then many who heard him say these things believed in him.
As He spoke these words, many believed in Him.
Jesus and Abraham
Jesus said to the people who believed in him, “You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings.
The Truth Shall Make You Free
Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.
Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.
And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
“But we are descendants of Abraham,” they said. “We have never been slaves to anyone. What do you mean, ‘You will be set free’?”
They answered Him, “We are Abraham’s descendants, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How can You say, ‘You will be made free’?”
Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a slave of sin.
Jesus answered them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin.
A slave is not a permanent member of the family, but a son is part of the family forever.
And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever.
So if the Son sets you free, you are truly free.
Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.
Yes, I realize that you are descendants of Abraham. And yet some of you are trying to kill me because there’s no room in your hearts for my message.
Abraham’s Seed and Satan’s
“I know that you are Abraham’s descendants, but you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you.
“I know that you are Abraham’s descendants, but you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you.
I am telling you what I saw when I was with my Father. But you are following the advice of your father.”
They answered and said to Him, “Abraham is our father.”
Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham.
Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham’s children, you would do the works of Abraham.
Instead, you are trying to kill me because I told you the truth, which I heard from God. Abraham never did such a thing.
But now you seek to kill Me, a Man who has told you the truth which I heard from God. Abraham did not do this.
No, you are imitating your real father.”
They replied, “We aren’t illegitimate children! God himself is our true Father.”
They replied, “We aren’t illegitimate children! God himself is our true Father.”
You do the deeds of your father.”
Then they said to Him, “We were not born of fornication; we have one Father — God.”
Then they said to Him, “We were not born of fornication; we have one Father — God.”
Jesus told them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, because I have come to you from God. I am not here on my own, but he sent me.
Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and came from God; nor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me.
Why can’t you understand what I am saying? It’s because you can’t even hear me!
Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word.
For you are the children of your father the devil, and you love to do the evil things he does. He was a murderer from the beginning. He has always hated the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies.
You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.
So when I tell the truth, you just naturally don’t believe me!
But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me.
Which of you can truthfully accuse me of sin? And since I am telling you the truth, why don’t you believe me?
Which of you convicts Me of sin? And if I tell the truth, why do you not believe Me?
Anyone who belongs to God listens gladly to the words of God. But you don’t listen because you don’t belong to God.”
He who is of God hears God’s words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God.”
The people retorted, “You Samaritan devil! Didn’t we say all along that you were possessed by a demon?”
Before Abraham Was, I AM
Then the Jews answered and said to Him, “Do we not say rightly that You are a Samaritan and have a demon?”
Then the Jews answered and said to Him, “Do we not say rightly that You are a Samaritan and have a demon?”
“No,” Jesus said, “I have no demon in me. For I honor my Father — and you dishonor me.
Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon; but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me.
And though I have no wish to glorify myself, God is going to glorify me. He is the true judge.
And I do not seek My own glory; there is One who seeks and judges.
I tell you the truth, anyone who obeys my teaching will never die!”
Most assuredly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he shall never see death.”
The people said, “Now we know you are possessed by a demon. Even Abraham and the prophets died, but you say, ‘Anyone who obeys my teaching will never die!’
Then the Jews said to Him, “Now we know that You have a demon! Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and You say, ‘If anyone keeps My word he shall never taste death.’
Are you greater than our father Abraham? He died, and so did the prophets. Who do you think you are?”
Are You greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? And the prophets are dead. Who do You make Yourself out to be?”
but you don’t even know him. I know him. If I said otherwise, I would be as great a liar as you! But I do know him and obey him.
Yet you have not known Him, but I know Him. And if I say, ‘I do not know Him,’ I shall be a liar like you; but I do know Him and keep His word.
Your father Abraham rejoiced as he looked forward to my coming. He saw it and was glad.”
Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad.”
Then the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?”
Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.”
