In this chapter of John's gospel, Jesus turns the tables on the Pharisees and scribes who try to trap him by bringing him a woman caught in adultery.  He makes another of His great "I AM" statements when he says, "I am the light of the world."

(Rev. 22:17) How thirsty are we? And where are we going to quench...
