Then he stooped down again and continued writing with his finger. They stood silent for some time and then began quietly to go away, the oldest men first and the younger men later. After a while, Jesus looked up and saw the woman standing alone before him. He rose up and said:
"Woman, where are those men? Does no man say that you are guilty?"
She answered him, "No man, Lord."
Jesus said to her, "Neither do I call you guilty. Go away, and never sin again."
Then Jesus went on with his teaching, which had been stopped by the bringing in of the woman by his enemies. He said:
"I am the light of the whole world. He who follows me and obeys my words will not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life."
Many other things Jesus said to the people at that time; and some of those who heard him began to believe that he was a teacher come from God. To those who believed, he said:
"If you stand faithful to my words, you are truly my followers; and you shall understand the truth, and the truth shall make you free."
"I am the light of the whole world. He who follows me and obeys my words will not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life"
