7 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee; for he would not walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.

² Now the Jews' feast of tabernacles was at hand.

³ And his brethren said to him: Pass from hence, and go into Judea; that thy disciples also may see thy works which thou dost.

⁴ For there is no man that doth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, manifest thyself to the world.

⁵ For neither did his brethren believe in him.

⁶ Then Jesus said to them: My time is not yet come; but your time is always ready.

⁷ The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth: because I give testimony of it, that the works thereof are evil.

⁸ Go you up to this festival day, but I go not up to this festival day: because my time is not accomplished.

⁹ When he had said these things, he himself stayed in Galilee.

⁵¹ And it came to pass, when the days of his assumption were accomplishing, that he steadfastly set his face to go to Jerusalem.

⁵² And he sent messengers before his face; and going, they entered into a city of the Samaritans, to prepare for him.

⁵³ And they received him not, because his face was of one going to Jerusalem.

⁵⁴ And when his disciples James and John had seen this, they said: Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them?

⁵⁵ And turning, he rebuked them, saying: You know not of what spirit you are.

⁵⁶ The Son of man came not to destroy souls, but to save. And they went into another town.

¹⁸ And Jesus seeing great multitudes about him, gave orders to pass over the water.

¹⁹ And a certain scribe came and said to him: Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou shalt go.

²⁰ And Jesus saith to him: The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air nests: but the son of man hath not where to lay his head.

²¹ And another of his disciples said to him: Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.

²² But Jesus said to him: Follow me, and let the dead bury their dead.

⁵⁷ And it came to pass, as they walked in the way, that a certain man said to him: I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.

⁵⁸ Jesus said to him: The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.

⁵⁹ But he said to another: Follow me. And he said: Lord, suffer me first to go, and to bury my father.

⁶⁰ And Jesus said to him: Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou, and preach the kingdom of God.

⁶¹ And another said: I will follow thee, Lord; but let me first take my leave of them that are at my house.

⁶² Jesus said to him: No man putting his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

¹⁰ But after his brethren were gone up, then he also went up to the feast, not openly, but, as it were, in secret.

¹¹ The Jews therefore sought him on the festival day, and said: Where is he?

¹² And there was much murmuring among the multitude concerning him. For some said: He is a good man. And others said: No, but he seduceth the people.

¹³ Yet no man spoke openly of him, for fear of the Jews.

¹⁴ Now about the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.

¹⁵ And the Jews wondered, saying: How doth this man know letters, having never learned?

¹⁶ Jesus answered them, and said: My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.

¹⁷ If any man do the will of him; he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.

¹⁸ He that speaketh of himself, seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, he is true, and there is no injustice in him.

¹⁹ Did Moses not give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law?

²⁰ Why seek you to kill me? The multitude answered, and said: Thou hast a devil; who seeketh to kill thee?

²¹ Jesus answered, and said to them: One work I have done; and you all wonder:

²² Therefore, Moses gave you circumcision (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and on the sabbath day you circumcise a man.

²³ If a man receive circumcision on the sabbath day, that the law of Moses may not be broken; are you angry at me because I have healed the whole man on the sabbath day?

²⁴ Judge not according to the appearance, but judge just judgment.

²⁵ Some therefore of Jerusalem said: Is not this he whom they seek to kill?

²⁶ And behold, he speaketh openly, and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers known for a truth, that this is the Christ?

²⁷ But we know this man, whence he is: but when the Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.

²⁸ Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching, and saying: You both know me, and you know whence I am: and I am not come of myself; but he that sent me, is true, whom you know not.

²⁹ I know him, because I am from him, and he hath sent me.

³⁰ They sought therefore to apprehend him: and no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.

³¹ But of the people many believed in him, and said: When the Christ cometh, shall he do more miracles, than these which this man doth?

³² The Pharisees heard the people murmuring these things concerning him: and the rulers and Pharisees sent ministers to apprehend him.

³³ Jesus therefore said to them: Yet a little while I am with you: and then I go to him that sent me.

³⁴ You shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither you cannot come.

³⁵ The Jews therefore said among themselves: Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?

³⁶ What is this saying that he hath said: You shall seek me, and shall not find me; and where I am, you cannot come?

³⁷ And on the last, and great day of the festivity, Jesus stood and cried, saying: If any man thirst, let him come to me, and drink.

³⁸ He that believeth in me, as the scripture saith, Out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

³⁹ Now this he said of the Spirit which they should receive, who believed in him: for as yet the Spirit was not given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

⁴⁰ Of that multitude therefore, when they had heard these words of his, some said: This is the prophet indeed.

⁴¹ Others said: This is the Christ. But some said: Doth the Christ come out of Galilee?

⁴² Doth not the scripture say: That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem the town where David was?

⁴³ So there arose a dissension among the people because of him.

⁴⁴ And some of them would have apprehended him: but no man laid hands on him.

⁴⁵ The ministers therefore came to the chief priests and the Pharisees. And they said to them: Why have you not brought him?

⁴⁶ The ministers answered: Never did man speak like this man.

⁴⁷ The Pharisees therefore answered them: Are you also seduced?

⁴⁸ Hath any one of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees?

⁴⁹ But this multitude, that knoweth not the law, are accursed.

⁵⁰ Nicodemus said to them, (he that came to him by night, who was one of them:)

⁵¹ Doth our law judge any man, unless it first hear him, and know what he doth?

⁵² They answered, and said to him: Art thou also a Galilean? Search the scriptures, and see, that out of Galilee a prophet riseth not.

⁵³ And every man returned to his own house.

8 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.
