< John 8 >
1 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
ⲁ̅
2 Early in the morning he returned to the temple, and all the people having come to him, he sat down and taught them.
ⲃ̅
3 Then the Scribes and Pharisees brought to him a woman, taken in adultery; and having placed her in the middle,
ⲅ̅
4 said to him, Rabbi, this woman was surprised in the act of adultery.
ⲇ̅
5 Now Moses has commanded in the law, that such should be stoned; and what do you say?
ⲉ̅
6 They said this to try him, that they might have matter for accusing him. But Jesus, having stooped down, was writing with his finger, upon the ground.
ⲋ̅
7 As they continued asking him, he raised himself, and said to them, Let him who is sinless, amongst you, throw the first stone at her.
ⲍ̅
8 Again, having stooped down, he wrote upon the ground.
ⲏ̅
9 They, hearing that, withdrew, one after another, the eldest first, till Jesus was left alone, with the woman standing in the middle.
ⲑ̅
10 Jesus, raising himself, and seeing none but the woman, said to her, Woman, where are those, your accusers? Has no person passed sentence on you?
ⲓ̅
11 She answered, No person, Sir. Jesus said to her, Neither do I pass sentence on you. Go, and sin no more.
ⲓ̅ⲁ̅
12 Again Jesus addressed the people, saying, I am the light of the world. He who follows me, shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
ⲓ̅ⲃ̅ⲓⲥ ϭⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲁϥϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲟⲩⲟⲓⲛ ⲙⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲁⲟⲩⲁϩϥ ⲛⲥⲱⲉⲓ ⲛϥⲛⲁⲙⲟⲟϣⲉ ⲁⲛ ϩⲙ ⲡⲕⲁⲕⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ϥⲛⲁϫⲓ ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲟⲓⲛ ⲙⲡⲱⲛϩ
13 The Pharisees therefore retorted, You testify concerning yourself; your testimony is not to be regarded.
ⲓ̅ⲅ̅ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲫⲁⲣⲓⲥⲁⲓⲟⲥ ϭⲉ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲉⲕⲣ ⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲕ ⲧⲉⲕⲙⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲟⲩⲙⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲧⲉ
14 Jesus answered, Though I testify concerning myself, my testimony ought to be regarded; because I know whence I came, and whither I go. As for you, you know not whence I came, and whither I go.
ⲓ̅ⲇ̅ⲁⲓⲥ ⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲕⲁⲛ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲉⲉⲓϣⲁⲛⲣ ⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲉⲓ ⲧⲁⲙⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲟⲩⲙⲉ 〚ⲁⲛ〛 ⲧⲉ ϫⲉ ϯⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲓⲉⲓ ⲧⲱⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲓⲛⲁ ⲉⲧⲱⲛ ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲁⲉⲓ ⲧⲱⲛ ⲏ ⲉⲓⲛⲁ ⲉⲧⲱⲛ
15 You judge from passion; I judge no person:
ⲓ̅ⲉ̅ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲛ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲥⲁⲣⲝ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲛϯⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲁⲛ ⲗⲗⲁⲁⲩ
16 and if I do, my judgment ought to be regarded, for I am not alone, but concur with the Father, who sent me.
ⲓ̅ⲋ̅ⲕⲁⲛ ⲉⲓϣⲁⲛⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲇⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲧⲁⲕⲣⲓⲥⲓⲥ ⲟⲩⲙⲉⲉ ⲧⲉ ϫⲉ ⲛⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲁⲛ ⲙⲙⲁⲧⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲙⲛ ⲡⲓⲱⲧ ⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲁⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓ
17 It is a maxim in your law, that the concurrent testimony of two is credible.
ⲓ̅ⲍ̅ϥⲥⲏϩ ⲇⲉ ⲟⲛ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲛⲟⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲧⲙⲛⲧⲙⲛⲧⲣⲉ ⲛⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲥⲛⲁⲩ ⲟⲩⲙⲉ ⲧⲉ
18 Now I am one who testify concerning myself; the Father that sent me is another that testifies of me.

19 Then they asked him, Where is your Father? Jesus answered, You know neither me nor my Father: if you knew me, you would know my Father also.
ⲓ̅ⲑ̅ⲛⲉⲩϫⲱ ϭⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲉϥⲧⲱⲛ ⲡⲉⲕⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲁϥⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲥ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲟⲩⲧⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲙⲡⲁⲓⲱⲧ ⲉⲛⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲥⲟⲟⲩⲛ ⲙⲙⲟⲓ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁⲥⲟⲩⲛ ⲡⲁⲓⲱⲧ ⲟⲛ ⲡⲉ
20 These things he spoke in the treasury, as he taught in the temple, and no person seized him, his hour not being yet come.

21 Again, Jesus said to them, I am going away; you will seek me, and shall die in your sins; whither I go, you can not come.
ⲕ̅ⲁ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϭⲉ ⲟⲛ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲥ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ϯⲛⲁⲃⲱⲕ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁϣⲓⲛⲉ ⲛⲥⲱⲉⲓ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁⲙⲟⲩ ϩⲣⲁⲓ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲧⲛⲛⲟⲃⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲙⲁ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲉϯⲛⲁⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲛ ⲙⲛ ϣϭⲟⲙ ⲙⲙⲱⲧⲛ ⲉⲉⲓ ⲉⲙⲙⲁⲩ
22 Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself, that he says, Whither I go, you can not come?
ⲕ̅ⲃ̅ⲛⲉⲩϫⲱ ϭⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛϭⲓ ⲛⲓⲟⲩⲇⲁⲓ ϫⲉ ⲙⲏⲧⲓ ⲉϥⲛⲁⲙⲟⲩⲟⲩⲧ ⲙⲙⲟϥ ϫⲉ ϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲡⲙⲁ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲉϯⲛⲁⲃⲱⲕ ⲉⲣⲟϥ ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁϣ ⲉⲓ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲙⲙⲁⲩ
23 He said to them, You are from beneath; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world;
ⲕ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲕⲁϩ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲁⲛⲅ ⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲛ ⲧⲡⲉ ⲛⲧⲱⲧⲛ ⲛⲧⲉⲧⲛ ϩⲉⲛⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲁⲛⲅ ⲟⲩⲉⲃⲟⲗ ⲁⲛ ϩⲙ ⲡⲉⲓⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ
24 therefore I said, You shall die in your sins; for if you believe not that I am he, you shall die in your sins.

25 They, therefore, asked him, Who are you? Jesus answered, The same that I told you formerly.
ⲕ̅ⲉ̅ⲛⲉⲩϫⲱ ϭⲉ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ⲛⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲛⲧⲕ ⲛⲓⲙ ⲡⲉϫⲉ ⲓⲥ ⲛⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ϫⲓⲛ ⲛϣⲟⲣⲡ ϯϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲙⲙⲏⲧⲛ
26 I have many things to say of you, and to reprove in you: but he who sent me is worthy of belief; and I do but publish to the world what I have learned from him.
ⲕ̅ⲋ̅ⲉⲩⲛϯ ϩⲁϩ ⲉϫⲱ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲉⲕⲣⲓⲛⲉ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲟⲩⲙⲉ ⲡⲉ ⲡⲉⲛⲧⲁϥⲧⲁⲟⲩⲟⲉⲓ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲛⲉⲛⲧⲁⲓⲥⲟⲧⲙⲟⲩ ⲛⲧⲟⲟⲧϥ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲉϯϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲉⲡⲕⲟⲥⲙⲟⲥ
27 They did not perceive, that he meant the Father.
ⲕ̅ⲍ̅ⲙⲡⲟⲩⲉⲓⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲉϥϣⲁϫⲉ ⲛⲙⲙⲁⲩ ⲉⲧⲃⲉ ⲡⲉⲓⲱⲧ
28 Jesus, therefore, said to them, When you shall have raised the Son of Man on high, then you shall know what I am; and that I do nothing of myself, and say nothing which the Father has not taught me.
ⲕ̅ⲏ̅ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϭⲉ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲛϭⲓ ⲓⲥ ϫⲉ ϩⲟⲧⲁⲛ ⲉⲧⲉⲧⲛϣⲁⲛϫⲓⲥⲉ ⲙⲡϣⲏⲣⲉ ⲙⲡⲣⲱⲙⲉ ⲧⲟⲧⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁⲉⲓⲙⲉ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲕ ⲡⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲛϯⲣ ⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲁⲛ ϩⲁⲣⲟⲓ ⲙⲙⲁⲩⲁⲁⲧ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲕⲁⲧⲁ ⲑⲉ ⲉⲛⲧⲁⲡⲁⲉⲓⲱⲧ ⲧⲥⲁⲃⲟⲉⲓ ⲛⲁⲓ ⲛⲉϯϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ
29 And he who sent me is with me. The Father has not left me alone, because I always do what pleases him.

30 While he spoke thus, many believed on him.
ⲗ̅ⲛⲁⲓ ⲉϥϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲟⲩ ⲁϩⲁϩ ⲡⲓⲥⲧⲉⲩⲉ ⲉⲣⲟϥ
31 Jesus, therefore, said to those Jews who believed on him, If you persevere in my doctrine, you are my disciples indeed.

32 And you shall know the truth: and the truth shall make you free.
ⲗ̅ⲃ̅ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁⲥⲟⲩⲛ ⲧⲙⲉ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲧⲙⲉ ⲛⲁⲣⲧⲏⲩⲧⲛ ⲛⲣⲙϩⲉ
33 Some made answer, We are Abraham's offspring, and were never enslaved to any man. How do you say, You shall be made free?
ⲗ̅ⲅ̅ⲁⲩⲟⲩⲱϣⲃ ⲛⲁϥ ⲡⲉϫⲁⲩ ϫⲉ ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲡⲉⲥⲡⲉⲣⲙⲁ ⲛⲁⲃⲣⲁϩⲁⲙ ⲁⲩⲱ ⲙⲡⲛⲣ ϩⲙϩⲁⲗ ⲗⲗⲁⲁⲩ ⲉⲛⲉϩ ⲛⲁϣ ⲛϩⲉ ⲛⲧⲟⲕ ⲕϫⲱ ⲙⲙⲟⲥ ϫⲉ ⲧⲉⲧⲛⲁⲣ ⲣⲙϩⲉ
34 Jesus replied, Most assuredly, I say to you, whosoever commits sin is a slave of sin.

35 Now the slave abides not in the family perpetually, the Son abides perpetually. (aiōn )

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

37 I know that you are Abraham's offspring, yet you seek to kill me, because my doctrine has no place in you.

39 They answered, Abraham is our Father. Jesus replied, If you were Abraham's children, you would act as Abraham acted.

40 But now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth, which I received from God. Abraham acted not thus.

41 You do the deeds of your father. They answered, We were not born of fornication, We have one Father, even God.

42 Jesus replied, If God were your Father, you would love me; for I proceeded, and am come from God. I came not of myself. He sent me.

43 Why do you not understand my language? It is because you can not bear my doctrine.

44 The devil is your father, and the desires of your father you will gratify: he was a manslayer from the beginning; he swerved from the truth, because there was no veracity in him. When he tells a lie, he speaks suitably to his character; for he is a liar, and the father of lying.

53 Are you greater than our Father Abraham, who is dead. The prophets also are dead: whom do you make yourself?

55 Nevertheless, you know him not; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I should speak falsely like you: but I know him, and keep his word.
