V3 The scribes and Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery to tempt Christ. Of course Jesus knew that stoning women by hitting them in the head with rocks for adultery was not Moses way anymore than bread without yeast or dunking people in water. If that were true why did he even talk to the woman at the well?
V11 So he would not condemn[3] her for he knew the weightier matters include mercy.
V12 He is the light and if you follow the way of light the darkness will be nowhere in the temple of the Holy Spirit.[4] If light be in you there will be no abode in you for the things of darkness. Those who love the darkness hate the light and will leave like the men who could not stone the woman. To judge[5] by the flesh, by the ĺetter, by their own will, and not by the Holy Spirit you usurp God and the light and your judgement will not be true.[6]

Can you clean in the dark? “‭25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess. ‭26 Thou blind Pharisee, [7]
V28, 30 Jesus speak of doing nothing but what is taught by and pleasing to the Father and many will hear and follow him.
Questions
V31 Who is or is not a disciple? If you "continue in my logos, then are ye my disciples indeed" if you not, then how can be disciple?
If you are not continuing in His "word" then would it be possible that the "truth[8] shall make you free"?
V33 They did not want tosee that they were back in the bondage of Egypt. Jesus says the are servants of sin. What sin?
Is desiring to eat at the tables of welfare provided through men who exercise authority one over the other like Herod and the Fathers of the earth who call themselves benefactors actually a snare and a trap?
If the reward of unrighteousness and the wages of unrighteousness are the same things then wouldn't having an appetite for or desiring those benefits and dainties of rulers at the expense of your neighbòr and their children be covetous practices and considered a sin?
Is not covetousness also idolatry?[9]
V38 Abraham left city-states like Ur and Haran and built the altars of clay and stone to recieve the freewill offerings of the people?
V39 Are you doing the works of Abraham or do you go to the altars of public religion with its legal charity and bite one another through the covetous practices of the corban of Herod and the Pharisees which makes the word of God to none effect?
V43 "Why do ye not understand my speech?"[10]
V47 He that is of God heareth God’s words God's Logosp
Those Jews could not Hear nor understand the right Reason of the logos of the Father of Christ because they sat in darkness like many modern Christians do today. Have you been under a stronge delusion and are you now in need of repentance?
V53 People think we must believe in the preexisting of Jesus who was the logos of the "I am" of God made flesh. But they miss the devil of these men who were making the "word of God" to none effect with their Corban.
V59 They desired to actually put to death Jesus. They had become perfect savages because of the years of legal charity through the Corban of the Pharisees.
The put to death lie, the delusion of Leaven and many other false teachings allowed the people to oppress[11] one another with covetous practices through civil rulers who exercise authority one over the other which was idolatry.[9] Their Corban was funded by a corvee system where the dainties of legal charity were the bait in a snare and a trap of that should have been for their welfare. The baptism of Herod was returning the people to the bondage of Egypt and was not exercising love for neighbor which had been required by Moses. True fervent charity through loving one another, laying down your life for one another which is the bread of eternal life.
54V you say you know the father
55V "I know him, and keep his saying."
58V "Before Abraham was, I am."
59V They wanted to put to dearh Jesus with stones he "hid himself" "through the midst of them".


The mount of Olives. 

1 ¶ Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.

2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down[2], and taught them.

Woman judged

3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,

4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.

5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?

6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.

Without sin

7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.

9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned[3] thee?

11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn[3] thee: go, and sin no more.

I Am the Light of the World

12 ¶ Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light[12] of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

13 The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record[13] of thyself; thy record is not true.

14 Jesus answered and said unto them, I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go.

15 Ye judge[5] after the flesh; I judge[5] no man.

16 And yet if I judge[5] , my judgment[14] is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.

17 It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.

18 I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.

19 Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.

20 These words spake Jesus in the treasury[1], as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.

Ye cannot come

21 ¶ Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.

22 Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.

23 And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.[7]

24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am[15] he, ye shall die in your sins.

25 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.

26 I have many things to say and to judge[5] of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.

27 They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.

28 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am[15] he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.

29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.

30 As he spake these words, many believed on him.

The Truth Will Set You Free

31 ¶ Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;

32 And ye shall know the truth[8], and the truth[8] shall make you free.

33 They answered him, We be Abraham’s seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?

34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.

35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.

36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

37 I know that ye are Abraham’s seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word[16] hath no place in you.

You Are of Your Father the Devil

38 ¶ I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.

39 They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham’s children, ye would do the works of Abraham.

40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.

41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.

42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.

43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear[17] my word.

44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him.[10] When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.

46 ¶ Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?

47 He that is of God heareth God’s words[18]: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.

Before Abraham Was, I Am

48 Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?

49 Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me.

50 And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.[5]

51 ¶ Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.[19]

52 Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.

53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?

54 Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me[15]; of whom ye say, that he is your God:

55 Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.

56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.

57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?

58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.[15]

59 Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.

  15. 15.0 15.1 15.2 15.3 ==The I AM == We know we exist because we think but what is the source of our thinking? What guides or leads our thoughts? Is it really the Empirical knowledge through our sense as we perceived the world or is there a connection to that which is the unmoved mover that moved upon the waters of creation or the formation of what we perceive as the universe? Is there a meaning found in the allegory of the two trees where that ancient and naked couple fled the light into the darkness of the world? Is it that light of the I AM that reveals the truths of I am in our own hearts and minds if we have the humility to see our own nakedness?

    Reference I am

    Exodus 3:14 "And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. ";
    John 8:24 “I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.” (present tense)
    John 8:28 “‭Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.” (future tense)
    John 8:58 “‭Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.” (past tense)

    Jesus honoured, which is to magnify the Creator, rather than himself.

    John 8:54 "Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:"

    The Creator is the Father who gives life. To take life is contrary to the Logos of the I am The I am is the preexisting breath of the Creator of the Divine Will. Jesus was one with the logos of the "I am" of God made flesh.

    The people did not know the God that gave them life because the did not want to see themself in the light of His truth. Jesus brought the light and those that hated the light hated Him.

    John 8:55 Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.

    Many may think they are born again but they do not love the light. They say Lord, Lord but are under a strong delusion and invent the doctrines of men so they may remain in darkness and in denial about the true Logos of God.

    John 9:9;“‭Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he.”
    John 10:9 “I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.”
    John 13:19 “Now I tell you before it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I am he.”
    John 14 “‭3 ... where I am, there ye may be also. ‭4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know. ‭5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way? ‭6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way(Egō eimi hē hodos), the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me(emou)... ‭9 ... Shew us the Father? ‭10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? ... but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. ‭11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: ... 21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.”

    Does the I am fear the AI?

    Fear not.

    Or is the ghost in AI that fears the I AM?
