13 Howbeit, no man spake openly of him, for fear of the Jews.

14 T Now about the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.

15 And g the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man i let|ters, having never learned?

16 Jesus answered them, and said My doctrine is not h 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 k 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 m give you the law, and yet none n of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill o me?

20 The people answered and said, p Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee?

21 Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel.

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

man.

25 Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill?

32 T The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him.

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

CHAPTER VIII.

1 Christ delivereth a woman taken in adultery: 21 he preacheth himse the light of the world, and justifieth his doctrine.

ESUS went unto the mount of

Jolives.

2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and be sat down, and taught them.

3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,

4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.

5 Now a Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? 6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.

7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, b let him first cast a stone at her.

8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.

9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the wo man standing in the midst.

10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?

11 She said, No man, Lord. And

32 And ye shall know b the truth,

He answereth the Jews. and the truth shall make you free.c 33 They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in d bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? 34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever e committeth sin is the servant of sin.

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

36 If g the Son therefore shall make you free, yeh 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 Ii speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.

39 They answered and said unto him, Abraham k is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If lye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.

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

41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not horn of fornication; wen have one Father, even God.

42 Jesus said unto them, Ifo God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but p he sent me.

43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hearg my word.

44 Yer are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode s not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

45 And because t I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.

46 Which of you convinceth u me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe nie?

47 He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.

48 Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and v hast a devil?

49 Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but 1 honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me.

50 And Iw seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth.

52 Then said the Jews unto him, Zec. 1.5. Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, ≈ and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man y ch.5.31,41. keep my saying, he shall never taste of death.

53 Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?

55 Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.

56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he a saw it, and was glad.

57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?

9 Some said, This is he: other said, He is like him: but he said, 1 am he.

10 Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened!

11 He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay,f and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.

12 Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not 13 They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind 14 And it was the sabbath-day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.

1 A man that was born blind is restored to sight: 13 he is brought 2Ki.5.14. to the Pharisees: 34 they excommunicate him: 36 Christ receiveth him, etc.

AND as Jesus passed by, he saw

a man which was blind from ƒ ver.6.7. his birth.

2 And his disciples asked him, g ver.31. saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?

4 I must work the works of him & Is.26.11. that sent me, while it is day: the

night cometh, when no man can 1 ch.7.13. work.

17 They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes! He said, He is a prophet. i

18 But the Jews did not believek concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight.

19 And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see?

20 His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:

21 But by what means he now sceth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself.

22 These words spake his parents because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, hem should be put out of the synagogue.

23 Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.

24 Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give Godn the praise: we know that this man is a sinner.

28 Then they reviled o him, and t Job 27.9. said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses' disciples.

29 We know that God spake unto Moses as for this fellow, we q know not from whence he is.

34 They answered and said unto him, Thou v wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they 2 cast him w out.

and the good Shepherd.

2 But he that entereth in by the b door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 To him c the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice and he calleth d his own sheep by name, and leadethe them out.

4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.f

5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will fleeg from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.

6 This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.

7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.

8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.

9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: Iam come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

11 Ii am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.

12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whoso own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leavethk the sheep, and fleeth and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.

13 Tho hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.

14 I am the good shepherd, and ? know my sheep, and am known m of mine.

15 Asn the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and o I lay down my life for the sheep.

16 And p other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and q there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because r I lay down my life, that I might take it again.

18 No man taketh it from me, buts I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and It have power to take it again. This u commandment have I received of my Father.

19 T There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings.

20 And many of them said Heu
