1Iesus went unto mount olivet, 2and early in the morning came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him, And he sat down, and taught them. 3The scribes and pharises brought unto him a woman taken in advoutry, and set her in the midst and said unto him: 4Master this woman was taken in advoutry, even as the deed was a doing. 5Moses in the law commanded us that such should be stoned: What sayest thou therefore? 6And this they said to tempt him: that they might have, whereof to accuse him. Iesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground. 7And while they continued asking him, he lifted himself up, And said unto them: let him that is among you without sin, cast the first stone at her. 8And again he stooped down and wrote on the ground. 9As soon as they heard that, they went out one by one the eldest first. And Iesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. 10When Iesus had lifted up himself again, and saw no man, but the woman, He said unto her: Woman, where are those thine accusers? Hath no man condemned thee? 11She said: Sir no man. Iesus said: Neither do I condemn thee. Go hence and sin no more.

12Then spake Iesus again unto them saying: I am the light of the world. He that followeth me shall not walk in darkness: but shall have the light of life. 13The pharises said unto him: thou bearest record of thyself, thy record is not true. 14Iesus answered and said unto them: And if I bear record of myself, my record is true for I know whence I come, and whither I go. Ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go. 15Ye judge after the flesh, I judge no man, 16and if I judge, then is my judgement true. For I am not alone: but I and my father that sent me. 17It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true. 18I am one that bear witness of myself, and my father that sent me beareth witness of me. 19Then said they unto him: where is thy father? Iesus answered: ye neither know me, nor yet my father. If ye had known me, ye should have known my father also. 20These words spake Iesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple. And no man laid hands on him, For his time was not yet come.

21Then said Iesus again unto them: I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins. Whither I go thither can ye not come. 22Then spake the jewes: will he kill himself, because he saith: whither I go, thither can ye not come? 23And he said unto them: ye are from beneath, I am from above. Ye are of this world, I am not of this world. 24I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins. For except ye believe that I am he, ye shall die in your sins. 25Then said they unto him, who art thou? And Iesus said unto them: Even the very same thing that I say unto you. 26I have many things to say, and to judge of you. But he that sent me is true. And I speak in the world, those things which I have heard of him. 27They understood not that he spake of his father. 28Then said Iesus unto them: When ye have lift up on high 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, even so I speak. 29And he that sent me is with me. My father hath not left me alone, For I do always those things that please him. 30As he spake these words, many believed on him.

31Then said Iesus to those jewes which believed on him: If ye continue in my saying, then are ye my very disciples: 32and ye shall know the truth: And the truth shall make you free. 33They answered him: We be Abraham's seed, and were never bond to any man: why sayest thou then, ye shall be made free?

34Iesus answered them: verily verily I say unto you, that whosoever committeth sin, is the servant of sin. 35And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: But the son abideth ever. 36If the son therefore shall make you free, then are ye free in deed. 37I know that ye are Abraham's seed: but ye seek means to kill me because my sayings have no place in you. 38I speak that I have seen with my father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.

39They answered and said unto him: Abraham is our father. Iesus said unto them. If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the deeds of Abraham. 40But now ye go about to kill me, a man that have told you the truth, which I have heard of my father. This did not Abraham. 41Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they unto him: we were not born of fornication. We have one father that is God. 42Iesus said unto them: if God were your father, then would ye have loved me. For I proceeded forth and come from God. Neither came I of myself, but he sent me. 43Why do ye not know my speech? Because ye cannot abide the hearing of my words. 44Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father, ye will follow: He was a murderer from the beginning, And abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, then speaketh he of his own. For he is a liar, and the father thereof. 45And because I tell you the truth, therefore believe ye not me. 46Which of you can rebuke me of sin? If I say the truth, why do not ye believe me? 47He that is of God, heareth godde's words. Ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.

48Then answered the jewes and said unto him: Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan and hast the devil? 49Iesus answered: I have not the devil: but I honour my father, and ye have dishonored me. 50I seek not mine own praise: There is one that seeketh it and judgeth. 51Verily verily I say unto you, if a man keep my sayings, he shall never see death. 52Then said the jewes to him: Now know we that thou hast the devil. Abraham is dead, and also the prophets, and yet thou sayest: if a man keep my saying he shall never taste of death. 53Art thou greater then our father Abraham? which is dead? and the prophets are dead. Whom makest thou thyself? 54Iesus answered: If I praise myself, mine praise is nothing worth. It is my father that praiseth me, which ye say is your God. 55And yet have ye not known him: but I know him. And if I should say, I know him not, I should be a liar like unto you, But I know him, and keep his saying. 56Your father Abraham was glad to see my day, and he saw it and rejoiced. 57Then said the jewes unto him: Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? 58Iesus said unto them: Verily verily I say unto you: yer Abraham was I am. 59Then took they up stones, to cast at him. But Iesus hid himself, and went out of the temple.
