< John 10 >

1 Truly I say to you, He who does not go through the door into the place where the sheep are kept, but gets in by some other way, is a thief and an outlaw.
ⲁ̅ⲁⲙⲏⲛ ⲁⲙⲏⲛ ϯϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϫⲉ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲛ⳿ϥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲣⲟ ⳿ⲉϯⲁⲩⲗⲏ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲉⲥⲱⲟⲩ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉϥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲡϣⲱⲓ ⳿ⲛϭⲟϥⲧⲉⲛ ⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲟⲩⲣⲉϥ ϭⲓⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲟⲩⲥⲟⲛⲓ ⲡⲉ.
2 He who goes in by the door is the keeper of the sheep.
ⲃ̅ⲫⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲑⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲣⲟ ⲫⲁⲓ ⲟⲩⲙⲁⲛ⳿ⲉⲥⲱⲟⲩ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲉⲥⲱⲟⲩ.
3 The porter lets him in; and the sheep give ear to his voice; he says over the names of the sheep, and takes them out.
ⲅ̅ⲫⲁⲓ ϣⲁⲣⲉ ⲡⲓⲉⲙⲛⲟⲩϯ ⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⲛⲁϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϣⲁⲣⲉ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲉⲥⲱⲟⲩ ⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲥⲙⲏ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϣⲁϥⲙⲟⲩϯ ⳿ⲉⲛⲉϥ⳿ⲉⲥⲱⲟⲩ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲛⲟⲩⲣⲁⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϣⲁϥ⳿ⲉⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
4 When he has got them all out, he goes before them, and the sheep go after him, for they have knowledge of his voice.
ⲇ̅ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥϣⲁⲛ⳿ⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϣⲁϥⲙⲟϣⲓ ϧⲁϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϣⲁⲣⲉ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲉⲥⲱⲟⲩ ⲙⲟϣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲱϥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲏⲓ ⲥⲉⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲥⲙⲏ.
5 They will not go after another who is not their keeper, but will go from him in flight, because his voice is strange to them.
ⲉ̅ⲡⲓϣⲉⲙⲙⲟ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲩⲙⲟϣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲱϥ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲩ⳿ⲉⲫⲱⲧ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲁⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⲥⲉⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲧ⳿ⲥⲙⲏ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓϣⲉⲙⲙⲟ.
6 In this Jesus was teaching them in the form of a story: but what he said was not clear to them.
ⲋ̅ⲧⲁⲓⲡⲁⲣⲟⲓⲙⲓ⳿ⲁ ⲁϥϫⲟⲥ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲟⲩ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲟⲩ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ϫⲉ ⲁϥⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲛⲉⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲟⲩ.
7 So Jesus said again, Truly I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.
ⲍ̅ⲡⲁⲗⲓⲛ ⲟⲛ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ϫⲉ ⲁⲙⲏⲛ ⲁⲙⲏⲛ ϯϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲥⲃⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲉⲥⲱⲟⲩ.
8 All who came before me are thieves and outlaws: but the sheep did not give ear to them.
ⲏ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲧⲁⲩ⳿ⲓ ϧⲁϫⲱⲓ ϩⲁⲛⲥⲟⲛⲓ ⲛⲉ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϩⲁⲛⲣⲉϥϭⲓⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⲛⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⳿ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲛⲥⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲉⲥⲱⲟⲩ.
9 I am the door: if any man goes in through me he will have salvation, and will go in and go out, and will get food.
ⲑ̅⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲥⲃⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲉⲥⲱⲟⲩ ⲫⲏⲉⲑⲛⲁ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲧ ⲉϥ⳿ⲉⲛⲟϩⲉⲙ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉϥ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉϥ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉϥ⳿ⲉϫⲓⲙⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲁ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛⲓ.
10 The thief comes only to take the sheep and to put them to death: he comes for their destruction: I have come so that they may have life and have it in greater measure.
ⲓ̅ⲡⲓⲣⲉϥϭⲓⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲏⲗ ⲁⲣⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥϭⲓⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥϣⲱⲧ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥⲧⲁⲕⲟ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲉⲧⲁⲓ⳿ⲓ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲱⲛϧ ϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲟⲩϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ.
11 I am the good keeper of sheep: the good keeper gives his life for the sheep.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲓⲙⲁⲛ⳿ⲉⲥⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲑⲛⲁⲛⲉϥ ⲡⲓⲙⲁⲛ⳿ⲉⲥⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲑⲛⲁⲛⲉϥ ϣⲁϥϯ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥⲯⲩⲭⲏ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲛⲉϥ⳿ⲉⲥⲱⲟⲩ.
12 He who is a servant, and not the keeper or the owner of the sheep, sees the wolf coming and goes in flight, away from the sheep; and the wolf comes down on them and sends them in all directions:
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲡⲓⲣⲉⲙⲃⲉⲭⲉ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲙⲁⲛⲉⲥⲱⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲉ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲉⲥⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲟⲩϥ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲉ ⲁϥϣⲁⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲟⲩⲱⲛϣ ⲉϥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ϣⲁϥⲫⲱⲧ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϣⲁϥⲭⲁ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲉⲥⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϣⲁⲣⲉ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲱⲛϣ ϩⲟⲗⲙⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϣⲁϥϫⲟⲣⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
13 Because he is a servant he has no interest in the sheep.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲣⲉⲙⲃⲉⲭⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲥⲉⲣⲙⲉⲗⲓⲛ ⲛⲁϥ ⲁⲛ ϧⲁ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲉⲥⲱⲟⲩ.
14 I am the good keeper; I have knowledge of my sheep, and they have knowledge of me,
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲓⲙⲁⲛ⳿ⲉⲥⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲑⲛⲁⲛⲉϥ ϯⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲛⲛⲏⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩ⳿Ⲓ ⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲓ.
15 Even as the Father has knowledge of me and I of the Father; and I am giving my life for the sheep.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲕⲁⲧⲁ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓⲱⲧ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϩⲱ ϯⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲓⲱⲧ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϯⲛⲁⲭⲱ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲯⲩⲭⲏ ⳿ⲉϫⲉⲛ ⲛⲁ⳿ⲉⲥⲱⲟⲩ.
16 And I have other sheep which are not of this field: I will be their guide in the same way, and they will give ear to my voice, so there will be one flock and one keeper.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲕⲉ⳿ⲉⲥⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉϩⲁⲛ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲧⲁⲓⲁⲩⲗⲏ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲉ ϩⲱϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲕⲉⲭⲱⲟⲩⲛⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲩ⳿ⲉⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁ⳿ⲥⲙⲏ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲩ⳿ⲉϣⲱⲡⲓ ⲉⲩⲟϩⲓ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲟⲩⲙⲁⲛ⳿ⲉⲥⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲧ.
17 For this reason am I loved by the Father, because I give up my life so that I may take it again.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ϥⲙⲉⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓⲱⲧ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϯⲭⲱ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲯⲩⲭⲏ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⲟⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁϭⲓⲧⲥ.
18 No one takes it away from me; I give it up of myself. I have power to give it up, and I have power to take it again. These orders I have from my Father.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⲱⲗⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲧ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲉⲧⲭⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲧ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩⲁⲧ ⲟⲩⲟⲛϯ ⲉⲣϣⲓϣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉ ⲭⲁⲥ ⲟⲩⲟⲛϯ ⲉⲣϣⲓϣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲟⲛ ⳿ⲉϭⲓⲧⲥ ⲑⲁⲓ ⲧⲉ ϯ⳿ⲉⲛⲧⲟⲗⲏ ⲉⲧⲁⲓϭⲓⲧⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲧϥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲱⲧ.
19 There was a division again among the Jews because of these words.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲟⲩ⳿ⲥⲭⲓⲥⲙⲁ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲛⲁⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ.
20 And a number of them said, He has an evil spirit and is out of his mind; why do you give ear to him?
ⲕ̅ϩⲁⲛⲙⲏϣ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲩϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲡⲉ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲇⲉⲙⲱⲛ ⲛⲉⲙⲁϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ϥⲗⲟⲃⲓ ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲟⲩ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ.
21 Others said, These are not the words of one who has an evil spirit. Is it possible for an evil spirit to make blind people see?
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ϩⲁⲛⲕⲉⲭⲱⲟⲩⲛⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲩϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲁⲓⲥⲁϫⲓ ⲛⲁ ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲉ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲇⲉⲙⲱⲛ ⲛⲉⲙⲁϥ ⲙⲏ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⳿ϣϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲇⲉⲙⲱⲛ ⳿ⲉⲁⲟⲩⲱⲛ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉⲛⲃⲁⲗ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲃⲉⲗⲗⲉⲩ.
22 Then came the feast of the opening of the Temple in Jerusalem: it was winter;
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲁϥϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲥⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲁⲓⲕ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲓⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ̅ ⲛⲉ ⳿ⲧ⳿ⲫⲣⲱ ⲧⲉ.
23 And Jesus was walking in the Temple, in Solomon's covered way.
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁϥⲙⲟϣⲓ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲉⲣⲫⲉⲓ ϧⲁ ϯ⳿ⲥⲧⲟⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲥⲟⲗⲟⲙⲱⲛ.
24 Then the Jews came round him, saying, how long are you going to keep us in doubt? If you are the Christ, say so clearly.
ⲕ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲩⲧⲁⲕⲧⲟ ⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲉϫⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ϣⲁ ⳿ⲑⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲕⲱⲗⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲯⲩⲭⲏ ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲁϫⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲡⲁⲣⲣⲏⲥⲓⲁ.
25 Jesus said in answer, I have said it and you have no belief: the works which I do in my Father's name, these give witness about me.
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ⲁϥⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ϫⲉ ⲁⲓϫⲟⲥ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁϩϯ ⲁⲛ ⲛⲓ⳿ϩⲃⲏⲟⲩⲓ ⳿ⲉϯⲣⲁ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲣⲁⲛ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲱⲧ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ ϧⲁⲣⲟⲓ.
26 But you have no belief because you are not of my sheep.
ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲓ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲁ⳿ⲉⲥⲱⲟⲩ ⲁⲛ.
27 My sheep give ear to my voice, and I have knowledge of them, and they come after me:
ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ⲛⲁ⳿ⲉⲥⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϣⲁⲩⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉⲧⲁ⳿ⲥⲙⲏ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϣⲁⲩⲙⲟϣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲱⲓ.
28 And I give them eternal life; they will never come to destruction, and no one will ever take them out of my hand. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϩⲱ ϯⲛⲁϯ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩⲱⲛϧ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲛⲟⲩⲧⲁⲕⲟ ϣⲁ ⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉ⳿ϣ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ϩⲟⲗⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⲧⲁϫⲓϫ. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
29 That which my Father has given to me has more value than all; and no one is able to take anything out of the Father's hand.
ⲕ̅ⲑ̅ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁ ⲡⲁⲓⲱⲧ ⲧⲏⲓϥ ⲛⲏⲓ ⲟⲩⲛⲓϣϯ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⲛⲁ⳿ϣϩⲟⲗⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲧϫⲓϫ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲱⲧ.
30 I and my Father are one.
ⲗ̅⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲡⲁⲓⲱⲧ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲁⲓ.
31 Then the Jews took up stones again to send at him.

32 Jesus said to them in answer, I have let you see a number of good works from the Father; for which of those works are you stoning me?
ⲗ̅ⲃ̅ⲁϥⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⳿ⲛϩⲱⲃ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲛⲉⲩ ⲁⲓⲧⲁⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲡⲁⲓⲱⲧ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲁϣ ⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲛϩⲱⲃ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁϩⲓⲱⲛⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲱⲓ.
33 This was their answer: We are not stoning you for a good work but for evil words; because being a man you make yourself God.
ⲗ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲩⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ⲟⲩϩⲱⲃ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲛⲉϥ ⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁϩⲓⲱⲛⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲱⲕ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲑⲃⲉ ϫⲉⲟⲩ⳿ⲁ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟⲕ ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲓ ϩⲱⲕ ⳿ⲕ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲕ ⳿ⲛⲛⲟⲩϯ.
34 In answer, Jesus said, Is there not a saying in your law, I said, You are gods?
ⲗ̅ⲇ̅ⲁϥⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲙⲏ ⳿ⲥ⳿ⲥϧⲏⲟⲩⲧ ⲁⲛ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲁⲓϫⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϩⲁⲛⲛⲟⲩϯ.
35 If he said they were gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Writings may not be broken),
ⲗ̅ⲉ̅ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲁϥϫⲟⲥ ⳿ⲉⲛⲏ ϫⲉ ⲛⲟⲩϯ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲁ ⳿ⲡⲥⲁϫⲓ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ϣⲱⲡⲓ ϩⲁⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ϣϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯ⳿ⲅⲣⲁⲫⲏ ⲃⲱⲗ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ.
36 Do you say of him whom the Father made holy and sent into the world, Your words are evil; because I said, I am God's Son?
ⲗ̅ⲋ̅ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁ ⳿ⲫⲓⲱⲧ ⲧⲟⲩⲃⲟϥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲟⲣⲡϥ ⳿ⲉⲡⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲕϫⲉⲟⲩ⳿ⲁ ϫⲉ ⲁⲓϫⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲡϣⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ.
37 If I am not doing the works of my Father, do not have belief in me;
ⲗ̅ⲍ̅ⲓⲥϫⲉ ϯ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲉⲛⲓ⳿ϩⲃⲏⲟⲩⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲁⲓⲱⲧ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲣⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲓ.
38 But if I am doing them, then have belief in the works even if you have no belief in me; so that you may see clearly and be certain that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.
ⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲇⲉ ϯ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲕⲁⲛ ⲉϣⲱⲡ ⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲓ ⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲉⲛⲓ⳿ϩⲃⲏⲟⲩⲓ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϯϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲁⲓⲱⲧ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲁⲓⲱⲧ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧ.
39 Then again they made an attempt to take him; but he got away from them.

40 And he went again to the other side of the Jordan, to the place where John first gave baptism; and he was there for a time.

41 And a great number of people came to him, saying, John did no sign: but everything John said of this man was true.
