1Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥϣⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲧⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓϫⲱⲓⲧ.
1Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.
2⳿ⲓⲧⲁ ⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛ⳿ⲁⲧⲟⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲉⲣⲫⲉⲓ ⲛⲓⲙⲏ ϣ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩ⳿ⲓ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥϩⲉⲙⲥⲓ ⳿ⲉϯ ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ.
2And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.
3ⲛⲓⲁⲣⲭⲏ⳿ⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲉⲟⲥ ⲁⲩ⳿ⲓⲛⲓ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⲁⲩϫⲉⲙⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲟⲣⲛⲓ⳿ⲁ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩⲧⲁϩⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲑⲙⲏϯ.
3And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
4ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲫⲣⲉϥϯ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ⲧⲁⲓ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⲑⲁⲓ ⲁⲛϫⲉⲙⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲟⲣⲛⲓ⳿ⲁ.
4They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
5ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱ⳿ⲩⲥⲏⲥ ⲟⲩⲁϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲓ ⳿ⲉϩⲓⲱⲛⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲱⲥ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲕϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲕ.
5Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
6ⲫⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩϫⲱϥ ⲉⲩⲉⲣⲡⲓⲣⲁⲍⲓⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲩϫⲉⲙ ⲗⲱⲓϫⲓ ϩⲓϫⲱϥ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲣⲓⲕⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉϥⲃⲁⲗ ⲁϥ⳿ⲥϧⲁⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥⲧⲏⲃ ϩⲓϫⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲕⲁϩⲓ.
6This 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 .
7ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲱⲥⲕ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱ ⲁϥϥⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲁⲫⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ϧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲁϭⲛⲉ ⲛⲟⲃⲓ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥϩⲓⲱⲛⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲱⲥ ⳿ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲛⲓ.
7So 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.
8ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲁϥⲣⲉⲕ ϫⲱϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥ⳿ⲥϧⲁⲓ ϩⲓϫⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲕⲁϩⲓ.
8And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
9ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲧϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩⲕⲁϯ ⳿ⲉⲡⲉϥⲥⲟϩⲓ ⲁⲩⲉⲣϩⲏⲧⲥ ⳿ⲛ⳿Ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲫⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⳿ⲫⲟⲩⲁⲓ ϣⲁⲧⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲡⲣⲉⲥⲃⲩⲧⲉⲣⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲥⲱϫⲡ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩⲁⲧϥ ⲛⲉⲙ ϯ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⲑⲏ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲥⲭⲏ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲑⲙⲏϯ.
9And 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.
10ⲁ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ϥⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲁⲫⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲥ ϫⲉ ⲱ ϯ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⲁⲩⲑⲱⲛ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲁⲩϯϩⲁⲡ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲉϥϯϩⲁⲡ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟ.
10When 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 thee?
11ⲡⲉϫⲁⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ϯⲛⲁⲩ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲡⲁ⳪ ⲡⲉϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲁⲥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲉⲓ ϯϩⲁⲡ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟ ⲙⲁϣⲉ ⲛⲉ ⲓⲥϫⲉⲛ ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲣⲧⲁⲥⲑⲟ ⳿ⲉⲉⲣⲛⲟⲃⲓ ϫⲉ.
11She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

12¶ Then spake Jesus 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 Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true.
14ⲁϥⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲕⲁⲛ ⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲁⲓϣⲁⲛⲉⲣⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ ϧⲁⲣⲟⲓ ⲟⲩⲙⲏⲓ ⲧⲉ ⲧⲁⲙⲉⲧⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ ϫⲉ ϯ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲁⲓ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲑⲱⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲓⲛⲁϣⲉ ⲛⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉⲑⲱⲛ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲁⲓ⳿Ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲑⲱⲛ ⲓⲉ ⲁⲓⲛⲁϣⲉ ⲛⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉⲑⲱⲛ.
14Jesus answered and said unto them, Though 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⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛϯϩⲁⲡ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ϯϯϩⲁⲡ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⲁⲛ.
15Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.

16And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
17ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲥ⳿ⲥϧⲏⲟⲩⲧ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲑⲙⲉⲧⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ ⳿ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲃ̅ ⲟⲩ⳿ⲑⲙⲏⲓ ⲧⲉ.
17It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.

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

19Then 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.
20ⲛⲁⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲁϥϫⲟⲧⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲅⲁⲍⲟⲫⲩⲗⲁⲕⲓⲟⲛ ⲉϥϯ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲉⲣⲫⲉⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⳿ϣ⳿ⲁⲙⲟⲛⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲧⲉⲥ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲧⲉϥⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩ.
20These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.
21ⲡⲁⲗⲓⲛ ⲟⲛ ⲡⲉϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϯⲛⲁϣⲉ ⲛⲏⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁⲕⲱϯ ⳿ⲛⲥⲱⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁϫⲉⲙⲧ ⲁⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁⲙⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲟⲃⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲓⲙⲁ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⳿ⲉϯⲛⲁϣⲉ ⲛⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ϣϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ.
21Then 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.

22Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot 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 if ye believe not that I am he , ye shall die in your sins.

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

26I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.
27⳿ⲙⲡⲟⲩ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ϫⲉ ⲛⲁϥⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲛⲉⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⳿ⲫⲓⲱⲧ.
27They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.

28Then 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.

29And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.
30ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ϩⲁⲛⲙⲏϣ ⲁⲩⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ.
30As he spake these words, many believed on him.

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

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?

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

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

39They 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.

44Ye 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. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
