John 5
1 After this, there was a Jewish festival so Jesus went to Jerusalem.
ⲁ̅ⲙⲉⲛⲉⲛⲥⲁ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲉ ⳿ⲡϣⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲓⲗ̅ⲏ̅ⲙ̅.
2 Now near the Sheep Gate in Jerusalem is a pool called Bethzatha in Hebrew, with five porches beside it.

3 Crowds of sick people were lying in these porches—those who were blind, lame, or paralyzed.

5 One man who was there had been sick for thirty-eight years. Jesus looked at him, knowing he had been lying there for long time, and asked him,
ⲉ̅ⲛⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲉⲁϥⲉⲣ ⲗ̅ⲏ̅ ⳿ⲛⲣⲟⲙⲡⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉϥϣⲱⲛⲓ.
6 “Do you want to be healed?”
ⲋ̅ⲉⲧⲁϥⲛⲁⲩ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲉⲫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲉϥ⳿ⲛⲕⲟⲧ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲧⲁϥ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ϫⲉ ⲁϥⲉⲣ ⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲭⲣⲟⲛⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲭⲟⲩⲱϣ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ.
7 “Sir,” the sick man answered, “I don't have anyone to help me get into the pool when the water is stirred. While I'm trying to get there, someone always gets in before me.”
ⲍ̅ⲁϥⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱ ⲛⲁϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲫⲏⲉⲧϣⲱⲛⲓ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲡⲁ⳪ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛϯ ⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⲁϥϣⲁⲛⲑⲟϩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉϥϩⲓⲧ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϯⲕⲟⲗⲩⲙⲃⲏⲑⲣⲁ ϩⲱⲥ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲓⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϣⲁⲣⲉ ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲉⲣϣⲟⲣⲡ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲓ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ.
8 “Stand up, pick up your mat, and start walking!” Jesus told him.
ⲏ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲧⲱⲛⲕ ⳿ⲁⲗⲓⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲕϭ ⲗⲟϫ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲙⲟϣⲓ.
9 Immediately the man was healed. He picked up his mat and started walking. Now the day that this happened was the Sabbath.
ⲑ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲥⲁⲧⲟⲧϥ ⲁϥⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲱⲗⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉϥϭⲗⲟϫ ⲁϥⲙⲟϣⲓ ⲛⲉ ⳿ⲡⲥⲁⲃⲃⲁⲧⲟⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ.
10 So the Jews said to the man who'd been healed, “This is the Sabbath! It's against the law to carry a mat!”
ⲓ̅ⲛⲁⲩϫⲱ ⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⳿ⲙⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁϥⲉⲣⲫⲁϧⲣⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲡⲥⲁⲃⲃⲁⲧⲟⲛ ⲡⲉ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲥϣⲉ ⲛⲁⲕ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲉⲱⲗⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲕϭⲗⲟϫ.
11 “The man who healed me told me to pick up my mat and start walking,” he replied.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁϥ⳿ⲑⲣⲓⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⲡⲉⲧⲁϥϫⲟⲥ ⲛⲏⲓ ϫⲉ ⲱⲗⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲕϭⲗⲟϫ ⲙⲁϣⲉ ⲛⲁⲕ.
12 “Who's this person who told you to carry your mat and walk?” they asked.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲩϣⲉⲛϥ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲩϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲉⲧⲁϥϫⲟⲥ ⲛⲁⲕ ϫⲉ ⲱⲗⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲕ ϭⲗⲟϫ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲙⲟϣⲓ.
13 However, the man who'd been healed didn't know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away into the surrounding crowd.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲫⲏ ⲇⲉ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ⲛⲁϥ⳿ⲉⲙⲓ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉ ⲁϥ⳿ⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲉⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲙⲏϣ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲙⲁ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ.
14 Later on Jesus found the man in the Temple, and told him, “Look, now you've been healed. So stop sinning or something worse may happen to you.”
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲙⲉⲛⲉⲛⲥⲁ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⲁϥϫⲉⲙϥ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲉⲣⲫⲉⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ϩⲏⲡⲡⲉ ⲁⲕⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲣⲉⲣⲛⲟⲃⲓ ϫⲉ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙ ⲡⲉⲧϩⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϩⲟⲩⲟ ϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲕ.
15 The man went and told the Jews it was Jesus who had healed him.
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲁϥϣⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥϫⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲡⲉⲧⲁϥ⳿ⲑⲣⲓⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ.
16 So the Jews started to harass Jesus because he was doing things on the Sabbath.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲫⲁⲓ ⲟⲩⲛ ⲛⲁⲩϭⲟϫⲓ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⲛⲁϥ⳿⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲁⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲥⲁⲃⲃⲁⲧⲟⲛ.
17 But Jesus told them, “My Father is still working, and so am I.”
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲇⲉ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ϣⲁ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲉϯⲛⲟⲩ ⲡⲁⲓⲱⲧ ⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϩⲱ ϯⲉⲣϩⲱⲃ.
18 This was why the Jews tried even harder to kill him, for not only did he break the Sabbath but also called God his Father, making himself equal with God.
ⲓ̅ⲏ̅ⲉⲑⲃⲉⲫⲁⲓ ⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲛϩⲟⲩ⳿ⲟ ⲛⲁⲩⲕⲱϯ ⳿ⲛⲥⲱϥ ⲡⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲛⲓⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉϧⲟⲑⲃⲉϥ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩ ⲙⲟⲛⲟⲛ ⲛⲁϥⲃⲱⲗ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲥⲁⲃⲃⲁⲧⲟⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲁϥϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲫϯ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲁⲓⲱⲧ ⲉϥ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲛϩⲓⲥⲟⲥ ⲛⲉⲙ ⲫϯ.
19 Jesus explained to them, “I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can only do what he sees the Father doing. Whatever the Father does the Son does as well.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲁϥⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲱⲟⲩ ϫⲉ ⲁⲙⲏⲛ ⲁⲙⲏⲛ ϯϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ϣϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲡϣⲏⲣⲓ ⲉⲣ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲧϥ ⲁϥ⳿ϣⲧⲉⲙⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲫⲓⲱⲧ ⲉϥ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟϥ ⲛⲏ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲧⲉ ⳿ⲫⲓⲱⲧ ⲣⲁ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲟⲛ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲕⲉϣⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ.
20 For the Father loves the Son, and reveals to him everything he does; and the Father will show to him even more incredible things that will completely amaze you.
ⲕ̅⳿ⲫⲓⲱⲧ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ϥⲙⲉⲓ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡϣⲏⲣⲓ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϩⲱⲃ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲓⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ϥⲛⲁⲧⲁⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ϩⲁⲛ⳿ϩⲃⲏⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ ⲉⲩⲟⲓ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓϣϯ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲓ ⳿ϥⲛⲁⲧⲁⲙⲟϥ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣ⳿ϣⲫⲏ ⲣⲓ.
21 For just as the Father gives life to those he resurrects from the dead, in the same way the Son also gives life to those that he wants.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ ⳿ⲫⲓⲱⲧ ⲧⲟⲩⲛⲟⲥ ⳿ⲛⲛⲓⲣⲉϥⲙⲱⲟⲩⲧ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ϥⲧⲁⲛϧⲟ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⲟⲛ ⲡⲓⲕⲉϣⲏⲣⲓ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲉϥⲟⲩⲁϣⲟⲩ ⳿ϥⲧⲁⲛϧⲟ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ.
22 The Father judges no one. He has given to the Son all the authority to judge,
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲟⲩ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲫⲓⲱⲧ ⳿ϥⲛⲁϯϩⲁⲡ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲡⲓϩⲁⲡ ⲧⲏⲣϥ ⲁϥⲧⲏⲓϥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓϣⲏⲣⲓ.
23 so that everyone may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Anyone who doesn't honor the Son doesn't honor the Father who sent him.

24 I tell you the truth: those who follow what I say and trust the one who sent me have eternal life. They won't be condemned, but have gone from death to life. (aiōnios g166)

25 I tell you the truth: The time is coming—in fact it's here already—when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live!
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ⲁⲙⲏⲛ ⲁⲙⲏⲛ ϯϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲉ ϯⲛⲟⲩ ⲧⲉ ϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲉⲣⲉ ⲛⲓⲣⲉϥⲙⲱⲟⲩⲧ ⲛⲁⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲧ⳿ⲥⲙⲏ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡϣⲏ ⲣⲓ ⳿ⲙⲫϯ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲏⲉⲑⲛⲁⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⲉⲩ⳿ⲉⲱⲛϧ.
26 Just as the Father has life-giving power in himself, so has he given the Son the same life-giving power in himself.
ⲕ̅ⲋ̅⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲱⲛϧ ϣⲟⲡ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲓⲱⲧ ⲡⲁⲓⲣⲏϯ ⲁϥⲧⲏⲓⲥ ⳿ⲙⲡⲓⲕⲉϣⲏ ⲣⲓ ⲉⲑⲣⲉ ⲟⲩⲱⲛϧ ϣⲱⲡⲓ ⳿ⲛ⳿ϧⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧϥ.
27 The Father also granted the authority for judgment to him, for he is the Son of man.

28 Don't be surprised at this, for the time is coming when all those in the grave will hear his voice
ⲕ̅ⲏ̅⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲣⲉⲣ⳿ϣⲫⲏⲣⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲫⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩ ϩⲟⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲧⲭⲏ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲙϩⲁⲩ ⲉⲩ⳿ⲉⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉϥ⳿ⲥⲙⲏ.
29 and will rise again: those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of condemnation.

30 I can do nothing by myself. I judge based on what I'm told, and my decision is right, for I'm not doing my own will but the will of the one who sent me.
ⲗ̅⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲛ ⳿ϣϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁⲉⲣ ⳿ϩⲗⲓ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲟⲧ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲉϯⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ϯϯϩⲁⲡ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲁϩⲁⲡ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲟⲩⲙⲏⲓ ⲡⲉ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲛϯⲕⲱϯ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲛⲥⲁ ⲡⲁⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⳿ⲫⲟⲩⲱϣ ⳿ⲙⲫⲏⲉⲧⲁϥⲧⲁⲟⲩⲟⲓ.
31 If I were to make claims about myself, such claims wouldn't be valid;

32 but someone else gives evidence about me, and I know what he says about me is true.

33 You asked John about me, and he told the truth,

34 but I don't need any human endorsement. I'm explaining this to you so you can be saved.
ⲗ̅ⲇ̅⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲁⲓϭⲓ ⲙⲉⲧⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲛⲓⲣⲱⲙⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲛⲁⲓ ϯϫⲱ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲟϩⲉⲙ.
35 John was like a brightly-burning light, and you were willing to enjoy his light for a while.
ⲗ̅ⲉ̅ⲫⲏ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲛⲉ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲓϧⲏⲃⲥ ⲉⲑⲙⲟϩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲟⲩⲱϣ ⳿ⲉⲑⲉⲗⲏⲗ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲣⲟⲥ ⲟⲩⲟⲩⲛⲟⲩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉϥⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ.
36 But the evidence I'm giving is greater than John's. For I am doing the work that the Father gave me to do,
ⲗ̅ⲋ̅⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛϯ ⲙⲉⲧⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲁⲥ ⳿ⲉⲑⲁ ⲓⲱⲁⲛⲛⲏⲥ ⲛⲓ⳿ϩⲃⲏⲟⲩⲓ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲧⲏⲓⲧⲟⲩ ⲛⲏⲓ ⳿ⲛϫⲉ ⲡⲁⲓⲱⲧ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁϫⲟⲕⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲟⲩ ⲛⲓ⳿ϩⲃⲏⲟⲩⲓ ⳿ⲉϯⲣⲁ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲟⲩ ⲥⲉⲉⲣⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ ϧⲁⲣⲟⲓ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲫⲓⲱⲧ ⲡⲉⲧⲁϥⲧⲁⲟⲩⲟⲓ.
37 and this is the proof that the Father sent me. The Father who sent me, he himself speaks on my behalf. You've never heard his voice, and you've never seen what he looks like,
ⲗ̅ⲍ̅ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲫⲓⲱⲧ ⲡⲉⲧⲁϥⲟⲩⲟⲣⲡⲧ ⳿ⲛⲑⲟϥ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲣⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ ⲉⲑⲃⲏⲧ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲥⲱⲧⲉⲙ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲥⲙⲏ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁϥ ⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁⲩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ⲥⲙⲟⲧ ⳿ⲛⲧⲁϥ.
38 and you don't accept what he says, because you don't trust in the one he sent.

39 You search the Scriptures because you think that through them you'll gain eternal life. But the evidence they give is in support of me! (aiōnios g166)
ⲗ̅ⲑ̅ⲟⲧϧⲉⲧ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲓ⳿ⲅⲣⲁⲫⲏ ⲛⲏⲉⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲙⲉⲩⲓ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲟⲩⲱⲛϧ ⳿ⲛ⳿ⲉⲛⲉϩ ϣⲟⲡ ⳿ⲛϧⲏⲧⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲟⲩ ⲉⲧⲉⲣⲙⲉⲑⲣⲉ ⲉⲑⲃⲏⲧ. (aiōnios g166)
40 And yet you don't want to come to me so that you might live.

41 I'm not looking for human approval

43 For I've come to represent my Father, and you won't accept me; but if someone comes representing themselves, then you accept them!
ⲙ̅ⲅ̅⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲁⲓ⳿ⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲣⲁⲛ ⳿ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲱⲧ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛϭⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲁⲣⲉϣⲁⲛ ⲕⲉⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⲇⲉ ⳿Ⲓ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉⲧⲉⲫⲱϥ ⳿ⲛⲣⲁⲛ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁϭⲓⲧϥ.
44 How can you trust in me when you look for praise from one another and yet you don't look for praise from the one true God?
ⲙ̅ⲇ̅ⲡⲱⲥ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⳿ϣϫⲟⲙ ⳿ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁϩϯ ⲉⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛϭⲓⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲟⲧⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣⲏⲟⲩ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲡⲱⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲟⲩⲁⲓ ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩⲁⲧϥ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲕⲱϯ ⳿ⲛⲥⲱϥ ⲁⲛ.
45 But don't think I will be making accusations about you to the Father. It's Moses who is accusing you, the one in whom you place such confidence.
ⲙ̅ⲉ̅ⲙⲏ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲙⲉⲩⲓ ϫⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲉⲑⲛⲁⲉⲣⲕⲁⲧⲏ ⲅⲟⲣⲓⲛ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϧⲁⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲫⲓⲱⲧ ⲟⲩⲟⲛ ⲫⲏⲉⲑⲛⲁⲉⲣⲕⲁⲧⲏⲅⲟⲣⲓⲛ ⳿ⲉⲣⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲙⲱ⳿ⲩⲥⲏⲥ ⲫⲏ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲉⲧⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟϥ.
46 For if you really trusted Moses you would trust in me, because he wrote about me.
ⲙ̅ⲋ̅⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁϩϯ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲉⲙⲱ⳿ⲩⲥⲏⲥ ⲛⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲉⲣⲟⲓ ϩⲱ ⲡⲉ ⲉⲧⲁ ⲫⲏ ⲅⲁⲣ ⳿ⲥϧⲁⲓ ⲉⲑⲃⲏⲧ.
47 But since you don't trust what he said, why would you trust what I say?”
ⲙ̅ⲍ̅ⲓⲥϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁϩϯ ⲁⲛ ⳿ⲉⲛⲓ⳿ⲥϧⲁⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲫⲏ ⳿ⲉⲧⲉ⳿ⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲡⲱⲥ ⲧⲉⲧⲉⲛⲛⲁϩϯ ⳿ⲉⲛⲁⲥⲁϫⲓ
