| 1 | And Jesus went unto mount Olivet. |
| 2 | And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him, and sitting down he taught them. |
| 3 | And the scribes and the Pharisees bring unto him a woman taken in adultery: and they set her in the midst, |
| 4 | And said to him: Master, this woman was even now taken in adultery. |
| 5 | Now Moses in the law commanded us to stone such a one. But what sayest thou? |
| 6 | And this they said tempting him, that they might accuse him. But Jesus bowing himself down, wrote with his finger on the ground. |
| 7 | When therefore they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said to them: He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. |
| 8 | And again stooping down, he wrote on the ground. |
| 9 | But they hearing this, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest. And Jesus alone remained, and the woman standing in the midst. |
| 10 | Then Jesus lifting up himself, said to her: Woman, where are they that accused thee? Hath no man condemned thee? |
| 11 | Who said: No man, Lord. And Jesus said: Neither will I condemn thee. Go, and now sin no more. |
| 12 | Again therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying: I am the light of the world: he that followeth me, walketh not in darkness, but shall have the light of life. |
| 13 | The Pharisees therefore said to him: Thou givest testimony of thyself: thy testimony is not true. |
| 14 | Jesus answered, and said to them: Although I give testimony of myself, my testimony is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go: but you know not whence I come, or whither I go. |
| 15 | You judge according to the flesh: I judge not any man. |
| 16 | And if I do judge, my judgment is true: because I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me. |
| 17 | And in your law it is written, that the testimony of two men is true. |
| 18 | I am one that give testimony of myself: and the Father that sent me giveth testimony of me. |
| 19 | They said therefore to him: Where is thy Father? Jesus answered: Neither me do you know, nor my Father: if you did know me, perhaps you would know my Father also. |
| 20 | These words Jesus spoke in the treasury, teaching in the temple: and no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come. |
| 21 | Again therefore Jesus said to them: I go, and you shall seek me, and you shall die in your sin. Whither I go, you cannot come. |
| 22 | The Jews therefore said: Will he kill himself, because he said: Whither I go, you cannot come? |
| 23 | And he said to them: You are from beneath, I am from above. You are of this world, I am not of this world. |
| 24 | Therefore I said to you, that you shall die in your sins. For if you believe not that I am he, you shall die in your sin. |
| 25 | They said therefore to him: Who art thou? Jesus said to them: The beginning, who also speak unto you. |
| 26 | Many things I have to speak and to judge of you. But he that sent me, is true: and the things I have heard of him, these same I speak in the world. |
| 27 | And they understood not, that he called God his Father. |
| 28 | Jesus therefore said to them: When you shall have lifted up the Son of man, then shall you know, that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself, but as the Father hath taught me, these things I speak: |
| 29 | And he that sent me, is with me, and he hath not left me alone: for I do always the things that please him. |
| 30 | When he spoke these things, many believed in him. |
| 31 | Then Jesus said to those Jews, who believed him: If you continue in my word, you shall be my disciples indeed. |
| 32 | And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. |
| 33 | They answered him: We are the seed of Abraham, and we have never been slaves to any man: how sayest thou: you shall be free? |
| 34 | Jesus answered them: Amen, amen I say unto you: that whosoever committeth sin, is the servant of sin. |
| 35 | Now the servant abideth not in the house for ever; but the son abideth for ever. |
| 36 | If therefore the son shall make you free, you shall be free indeed. |
| 37 | I know that you are the children of Abraham: but you seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you. |
| 38 | I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and you do the things that you have seen with your father. |
| 39 | They answered, and said to him: Abraham is our father. Jesus saith to them: If you be the children of Abraham, do the works of Abraham. |
| 40 | But now you seek to kill me, a man who have spoken the truth to you, which I have heard of God. This Abraham did not. |
| 41 | You do the works of your father. They said therefore to him: We are not born of fornication: we have one Father, even God. |
| 42 | Jesus therefore said to them: If God were your Father, you would indeed love me. For from God I proceeded, and came; for I came not of myself, but he sent me: |
| 43 | Why do you not know my speech? Because you cannot hear my word. |
| 44 | You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and he stood not in the truth; because truth is not in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof. |
| 45 | But if I say the truth, you believe me not. |
| 46 | Which of you shall convince me of sin? If I say the truth to you, why do you not believe me? |
| 47 | He that is of God, heareth the words of God. Therefore you hear them not, because you are not of God. |
| 48 | The Jews therefore answered, and said to him: Do not we say well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil? |
| 49 | Jesus answered: I have not a devil: but I honour my Father, and you have dishonoured me. |
| 50 | But I seek not my own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth. |
| 51 | Amen, amen I say to you: If any man keep my word, he shall not see death for ever. |
| 52 | The Jews therefore said: Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest: If any man keep my word, he shall not taste death for ever. |
| 53 | Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? and the prophets are dead. Whom dost thou make thyself? |
| 54 | Jesus answered: If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father that glorifieth me, of whom you say that he is your God. |
| 55 | And you have not known him, but I know him. And if I shall say that I know him not, I shall be like to you, a liar. But I do know him, and do keep his word. |
| 56 | Abraham your father rejoiced that he might see my day: he saw it, and was glad. |
| 57 | The Jews therefore said to him: Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? |
| 58 | Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say to you, before Abraham was made, I am. |
| 59 | They took up stones therefore to cast at him. But Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple. |
