10 Alors s’étant relevé, et ne voyant plus que la femme, Jésus lui dit: Femme, où sont ceux qui t’accusaient? Personne ne t’a-t-il condamnée?

11 Elle répondit: Non, Seigneur. Et Jésus lui dit: Je ne te condamne pas non plus: va, etne pèche plus.

12 Jésus leur parla de nouveau, et dit: Je suis la lumière du monde; celui qui me suit ne marchera pas dans les ténèbres, mais il aura la lumière de la vie.

13 Là-dessus, les pharisiens lui dirent: Tu rends témoignage de toi-même; ton témoignage n’est pas vrai.

14 Jésus leur répondit: Quoique je rende témoignage de moi-même, mon témoignage est vrai, car je sais d’où je suis venu et où je vais; mais vous, vous ne savez d’où je viens ni où je vais.
