John 8:12 in Context — John 8

10 E endireitando-se Jesus, e não vendo a ninguém além da mulher, disse-lhe: Mulher, onde estão aqueles teus acusadores? Ninguém te condenou?

11 E disse ela: Ninguém, Senhor. E disse-lhe Jesus: Nem eu também te condeno; vai, e não peques mais.

12 Falou-lhes pois Jesus outra vez, dizendo: Eu sou a luz do mundo; quem me seguir não andará em trevas, mas terá luz de vida.

13 Disseram-lhe pois os Fariseus: Tu testemunhas de ti mesmo; teu testemunho não é verdadeiro.

14 Respondeu Jesus, e disse-lhes: Ainda que eu testemunho de mim mesmo, meu testemunho é verdadeiro; porque sei de onde vim, e para onde vou; porém vós não sabeis, de onde venho, nem para onde vou.
