7:32. The Pharisees heard the people murmuring these things concerning him: and the rulers and Pharisees sent ministers to apprehend him.
7:33. Jesus therefore said to them: Yet a little while I am with you: and then I go to him that sent me.
7:34. You shall seek me and shall not find me: and where I am, thither you cannot come.
7:35. The Jews therefore said among themselves: Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? Will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles and teach the Gentiles?
7:36. What is this saying that he hath said: You shall seek me and shall not find me? And: Where I am, you cannot come?
7:37. And on the last, and great day of the festivity, Jesus stood and cried, saying: If any man thirst, let him come to me and drink.
7:38. He that believeth in me, as the scripture saith: Out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
7:39. Now this he said of the Spirit which they should receive who believed in him: for as yet the Spirit was not given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
7:40. Of that mult.i.tude therefore, when they had heard these words of his, some said: This is the prophet indeed.
7:41. Others said: This is the Christ. But some said: Doth the Christ come out of Galilee?
7:42. Doth not the scripture say: That Christ cometh of the seed of David and from Bethlehem the town where David was?
7:43. So there arose a dissension among the people because of him.
7:44. And some of them would have apprehended him: but no man laid hands upon him.
7:45. The ministers therefore came to the chief priests and the Pharisees. And they said to them: Why have you not brought him?
7:46. The ministers answered: Never did man speak like this man.
7:47. The Pharisees therefore answered them: Are you also seduced?
7:48. Hath any one of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees?
7:49. But this mult.i.tude, that knoweth not the law, are accursed.
7:50. Nicodemus said to them (he that came to him by night, who was one of them):
7:51. Doth our law judge any man, unless it first hear him and know what he doth?
7:52. They answered and said to him: Art thou also a Galilean? Search the scriptures, and see that out of Galilee a prophet riseth not.
7:53. And every man returned to his own house.
John Chapter 8
The woman taken in adultery. Christ justifies his doctrine.
8:1. And Jesus went unto mount Olivet.
8:2. And early in the morning he came again into the temple: and all the people came to him. And sitting down he taught them.
8:3. And the scribes and Pharisees bring unto him a woman taken in adultery: and they set her in the midst,
8:4. And said to him: Master, this woman was even now taken in adultery.
8:5. Now Moses in the law commanded us to stone such a one. But what sayest thou?
8:6. And this they said tempting him, that they might accuse him. But Jesus bowing himself down, wrote with his finger on the ground.
8:7. When therefore they continued asking him, he lifted up himself and said to them: He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
8:8. And again stooping down, he wrote on the ground.
8:9. But they hearing this, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest. And Jesus alone remained, and the woman standing in the midst.
8:10. Then Jesus lifting up himself, said to her: Woman, where are they that accused thee? Hath no man condemned thee?
8:11. Who said: No man, Lord. And Jesus said: Neither will I condemn thee. Go, and now sin no more.
8:12. Again therefore, Jesus spoke to: them, saying: I am the light of the world. He that followeth me walketh not in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
8:13. The Pharisees therefore said to him: Thou givest testimony of thyself. Thy testimony is not true.
8:14. Jesus answered and said to them: Although I give testimony of myself, my testimony is true: for I know whence I came and whither I go.
8:15. You judge according to the flesh: I judge not any man.
8:16. And if I do judge, my judgment is true: because I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
8:17. And in your law it is written that the testimony of two men is true.
8:18. I am one that give testimony of myself: and the Father that sent me giveth testimony of me.
8:19. They said therefore to him: Where is thy Father? Jesus answered: Neither me do you know, nor my Father. If you did know me, perhaps you would know my Father also.
8:20. These words Jesus spoke in the treasury, teaching in the temple: and no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.
8:21. Again therefore Jesus said to them: I go: and you shall seek me.
And you shall die in your sin. Whither I go, you cannot come.
8:22. The Jews therefore said: Will he kill himself, because he said: Whither I go you cannot come?
8:23. And he said to them: You are from beneath: I am from above. You are of this world: I am not of this world.
8:24. Therefore I said to you that you shall die in your sins. For if you believe not that I am he, you shall die in your sin.
8:25. They said therefore to him: Who art thou? Jesus said to them: The beginning, who also speak unto you.
8:26. Many things I have to speak and to judge of you. But he that sent me, is true: and the things I have heard of him, these same I speak in the world.
