65 Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.

67 Will ye also go away?

70 Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?

Chapter VII.

6 My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready.

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

8 Go ye up unto this feast: I go not yet up unto this feast; for my time is not yet full come.

16 My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.

17 If any man will do his will, 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 his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

19 Did not Moses give you the law,

[blocks in formation]

and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?

21 I have done one work, and ye all

marvel.

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

23 If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day?

24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judg

ment.

28 Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.

29 But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me.

33 Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me.

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

37 If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.

38 He that believeth on me, as the

scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

Chapter VIII.

7 HE that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

10 Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?

11 Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

12 I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

14 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 Ye judge after the flesh; I judge

no man.

16 And yet if I judge, my judgment is true for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.

17 It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true. 18 I am one that bear witness of

[blocks in formation]

myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.

19 Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known Father also.

21 I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither go, ye cannot come.

I

23 Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.

24 I 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.

25 Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.

26 I 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.

28 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.

29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please

31 If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;"

32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

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

35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth

ever.

36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

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

38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father; and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.

39 If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.

40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.

41 Ye do the deeds of your father.

42 If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.

43 Why do ye not understand my
