Coptic New Testament
1but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
1Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥϣⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲧⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓϫⲱⲓⲧ.
2Now very early in the morning, he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him. He sat down and taught them.
2⳿ⲓⲧⲁ ⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛ⳿ⲁⲧⲟⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲉⲣⲫⲉⲓ ⲛⲓⲙⲏ ϣ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩ⳿ⲓ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥϩⲉⲙⲥⲓ ⳿ⲉϯ ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ.
3The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman taken in adultery. Having set her in the middle,
3ⲛⲓⲁⲣⲭⲏ⳿ⲉⲣⲉⲩⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲛⲓⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲉⲟⲥ ⲁⲩ⳿ⲓⲛⲓ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⲁⲩϫⲉⲙⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲟⲣⲛⲓ⳿ⲁ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁⲩⲧⲁϩⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲣⲁⲧⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲑⲙⲏϯ.
4they told him, “Teacher, we found this woman in adultery, in the very act.
4ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲫⲣⲉϥϯ⳿ⲥⲃⲱ ⲧⲁⲓ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⲑⲁⲓ ⲁⲛϫⲉⲙⲥ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲟⲣⲛⲓ⳿ⲁ.
5Now in our law, Moses commanded us to stone such women. What then do you say about her?”
5ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲫⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱ⳿ⲩⲥⲏⲥ ⲟⲩⲁϩⲥⲁϩⲛⲓ ⳿ⲉϩⲓⲱⲛⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲱⲥ ⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲉⲕϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲕ.
6They said this testing him, that they might have something to accuse him of. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger.
6ⲫⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲩϫⲱϥ ⲉⲩⲉⲣⲡⲓⲣⲁⲍⲓⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲩϫⲉⲙ ⲗⲱⲓϫⲓ ϩⲓϫⲱϥ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥⲣⲓⲕⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉϥⲃⲁⲗ ⲁϥ⳿ⲥϧⲁⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥⲧⲏⲃ ϩⲓϫⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲕⲁϩⲓ.
7But when they continued asking him, he looked up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw the first stone at her.”
7ⲉⲧⲁⲩⲱⲥⲕ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱ ⲁϥϥⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲁⲫⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ϧⲉⲛ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⲁϭⲛⲉ ⲛⲟⲃⲓ ⲙⲁⲣⲉϥϩⲓⲱⲛⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲱⲥ ⳿ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲛⲓ.
8Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground with his finger.

9They, when they heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning from the oldest, even to the last. Jesus was left alone with the woman where she was, in the middle.
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.
10Jesus, standing up, saw her and said, “Woman, where are your accusers? Did no one condemn you?”
10ⲁ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ϥⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲁⲫⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲥ ϫⲉ ⲱ ϯ⳿ⲥϩⲓⲙⲓ ⲁⲩⲑⲱⲛ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲁⲩϯϩⲁⲡ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲉϥϯϩⲁⲡ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟ.
11She said, “No one, Lord.” Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go your way. From now on, sin no more.”

12Again, therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.”

13The Pharisees therefore said to him, “You testify about yourself. Your testimony is not valid.”

14Jesus answered them, “Even if I testify about myself, my testimony is true, for I know where I came from, and where I am going; but you don’t know where I came from, or where I am going.
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.
15You judge according to the flesh. I judge no one.

16Even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.

17It’s also written in your law that the testimony of two people is valid.

19They said therefore to him, “Where is your Father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither me nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father also.”

20Jesus spoke these words in the treasury, as he taught in the temple. Yet no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.

21Jesus said therefore again to them, “I am going away, and you will seek me, and you will die in your sins. Where I go, you can’t come.”

22The Jews therefore said, “Will he kill himself, because he says, ‘Where I am going, you can’t come’ ?”

33They answered him, “We are Abraham’s offspring, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How do you say, ‘You will be made free’ ?”

44You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and doesn’t stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks on his own; for he is a liar, and the father of lies.
