John 8:7-19 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

7. and when they continued asking him, having bent himself back, he said unto them, `The sinless of you--let him first cast the stone at her;'

8. and again having stooped down, he was writing on the ground,

9. and they having heard, and by the conscience being convicted, were going forth one by one, having begun from the elders--unto the last; and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

10. And Jesus having bent himself back, and having seen no one but the woman, said to her, `Woman, where are those--thine accusers? did no one pass sentence upon thee?'

11. and she said, `No one, Sir;' and Jesus said to her, `Neither do I pass sentence on thee; be going on, and no more sin.'

12. Again, therefore, Jesus spake to them, saying, `I am the light of the world; he who is following me shall not walk in the darkness, but he shall have the light of the life.'

13. The Pharisees, therefore, said to him, `Thou of thyself dost testify, thy testimony is not true;'

14. Jesus answered and said to them, `And if I testify of myself--my testimony is true, because I have known whence I came, and whither I go, and ye--ye have not known whence I come, or whither I go.

15. `Ye according to the flesh do judge; I do not judge any one,

16. and even if I do judge my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me;

17. and also in your law it hath been written, that the testimony of two men are true;

18. I am [one] who is testifying of myself, and the Father who sent me doth testify of me.'

19. They said, therefore, to him, `Where is thy father?' Jesus answered, `Ye have neither known me nor my Father: if me ye had known, my Father also ye had known.'
