G3588–ὁ–ho

Meanwhile the officers returned to the High Priests and Pharisees, who asked them, "Why have you not brought him?"

οἱ hoi “the”τοὺς tous “the”

"No mere man has ever spoken as this man speaks," said the officers.

οἱ hoi “the”ὁ ho “<the>”

"Are *you* deluded too?" replied the Pharisees;

οἱ hoi “the”

"has any one of the Rulers or of the Pharisees believed in him?

τῶν tōn “the”τῶν tōn “the”

But this rabble who understand nothing about the Law are accursed!"

ὁ ho “<the>”ὁ ho “<the>”τὸν ton “the”

Nicodemus interposed--he who had formerly gone to Jesus, being himself one of them.

ὁ ho “the [one]”τὸ to “the”

"Does our Law," he asked, "judge a man without first hearing what he has to say and ascertaining what his conduct is?"

ὁ ho “the”τὸν ton “the”

"Do you also come from Galilee?" they asked in reply. "Search and see for yourself that no Prophet is of Galilaean origin."

τῆς tēs “<the>”τῆς tēs “<the>”

[So they went away to their several homes;

τὸν ton “the”

but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.

τὸ to “the”τῶν tōn “<the>”

At break of day however He returned to the Temple, and there the people came to Him in crowds. He seated Himself;

τὸ to “the”ὁ ho “the”

and was teaching them when the Scribes and the Pharisees brought to Him a woman who had been found committing adultery. They made her stand in the centre of the court, and they put the case to Him.

οἱ hoi “the”οἱ hoi “the”

"Rabbi," they said, "this woman has been found in the very act of committing adultery.

ἡ hē “<the>”

Now, in the Law, Moses has ordered us to stone such women to death. But what do you say?"

τῷ tō “the”τὰς tas “<the>”

They asked this in order to put Him to the test, so that they might have some charge to bring against Him. But Jesus leant forward and began to write with His finger on the ground.

ὁ ho “<the>”τῷ tō “<the>”τὴν tēn “the”

When however they persisted with their question, He raised His head and said to them, "Let the sinless man among you be the first to throw a stone at her."

ὁ ho “The [one]”τὸν ton “<the>”

Then He leant forward again, and again began to write on the ground.

τὴν tēn “the”

They listened to Him, and then, beginning with the eldest, took their departure, one by one, till all were gone. And Jesus was left behind alone--and the woman in the centre of the court.

οἱ hoi “<the>”τῆς tēs “<the>”τῶν tōn “the”τῶν tōn “of the”ὁ ho “<the>”ἡ hē “the”

Then, raising His head, Jesus said to her, "Where are they? Has no one condemned you?"

ὁ ho “<the>”τὴς tēs “<the>”ἡ hē “the”οἱ hoi “the”

"No one, Sir," she replied. "And *I* do not condemn you either," said Jesus; "go, and from this time do not sin any more."]

ἡ hē “<the>”ὁ ho “<the>”τοῦ tou “<the>”

Once more Jesus addressed them. "I am the Light of the world," He said; "the man who follows me shall certainly not walk in the dark, but shall have the light of Life."

ὁ ho “<the>”τὸ to “the”τοῦ tou “of the”ὁ ho “the [one]”τῇ tēa “the”τὸ to “the”τῆς tēs “<the>”

"You are giving testimony about yourself," said the Pharisees; "your testimony is not true."

οἱ hoi “the”ἡ hē “the”

"Even if I am giving testimony about myself," replied Jesus, "my testimony is true; for I know where I came from and where I am going, but you know neither of these two things.

ἡ hē “the”

You judge according to appearances: I am judging no one.

τὴν tēn “the”

And even if I do judge, my judgement is just; for I am not alone, but the Father who sent me is with me.
