But Y'shua went to the mount of Olives.

But in the morning he came again to the temple, and all the people came to him, and when he sat he was teaching them.

But the scribes and Pharisees brought a woman who was caught in adultery, and when they stood her in the middle,

they say to him, Teacher, this woman was caught openly in the act of adultery.

And in the law of Moshe, Elohim has commanded that we stone such as these. What therefore do you say?

This they said while testing him, so that they might have ground to accuse him. But Y'shua, when he stooped down, was writing on the earth.

But when they kept asking him, he straightened up and said to them, Whoever among you is without sin, let him first throw a stone at her.

And again when he stooped down, he was writing on the ground.

But they, when they heard it, were going out one by one, beginning from the elders, and the woman was left alone, while she was in the middle.

But when Y'shua straightened up, he said to the woman, Where are they? Has no one condemned you?

But she said, No one, Master YHWH. But Y'shua said, Neither do I condemn you. Go, and from now on sin no more.

But again Y'shua spoke with them and said, I am the light of the world. Whoever comes after me will not walk in darkness, but will find for himself the light of life.

The Pharisees say to him, You bear witness about yourself; your testimony is not true.

Y'shua answered and said to them, Even if I bear witness about myself, my testimony is true, because I know from where I came and where I am going. But you do not know from where I came and where I am going.

You judge according to the flesh; I judge no one.

Yet if I judge, my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and my Father who sent me.

And in your law it is written that the testimony of two men is true.

I am one who bears witness about myself, and my Father who sent me bears witness about me.

They say to him, Where is your Father? Y'shua answered and said to them, You know neither me nor my Father. If you had known me, you would also have known my Father.

These words he spoke in the treasury as he taught in the temple, and no one took hold of him, for his hour had not yet come.

Y'shua said again to them, I go away, and you will seek me, and you will die in your sins, and where I go you are not able to come.

The Yehudaye say, Is he about to kill himself, that he says, Where I go you are not able to come?

And he said to them, You are from below, and I am from above. You are from this world; I am not from this world.

I said to you that you will die in your sins. For if you do not believe that I am, you will die in your sins.

The Jews say: Who are you? Y'shua says to them: Even if I have begun to speak with you,

I have much to say concerning you and to judge. But he who sent me is true, and those things that I have heard from him, these I speak in the world.

And they did not know that he spoke to them of the Father.

Y'shua said to them again: When you lift up the Son of man, then you will know that I am he, and that I do nothing from my own pleasure, but as my Father taught me, so I speak.

And he who sent me is with me, and my Father has not left me alone, because I do at all times what is pleasing to him.

When he was speaking these things, many believed in him.

And Y'shua said to those Yehudaye who believed in him: If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples.

And you will know the truth, and that truth will free you.

They say to him: We are the seed of Avraham, and never has servitude to any man been done to us. How do you say that you will become free men?

Y'shua said to them: Amen, amen, I say to you, that everyone who does sin is the servant of sin.

And a servant does not remain forever in the house, but the Son remains forever.

If therefore the Son frees you, you will truly be free men.

I know that you are the seed of Avraham, but you seek to kill me because you are not able to hold my word.

I speak what I have seen with my Father, and you do what you have seen with your father.

They answered and said to him: Our father is Avraham. Y'shua said to them: If you were children of Avraham, you would be doing the works of Avraham.

But now you seek to kill me, a man who has spoken the truth with you, which I heard from Elohim. This Avraham did not do.

But you do the works of your father. They say to him: We are not the offspring of whoredom; we have one Father, Elohim.

Y'shua said to them: If Elohim were your Father, you would love me; for I came forth from Elohim and came, and I did not come of my own will, but he sent me.

Why do you not understand my word? It is because you cannot hear my word.

You are of your father the calumniator, and the lust of your father you want to do. He was a manslayer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own, because he is a liar and also its father.

But I, because I speak the truth, you do not believe me.

Who of you convicts me of sin? And if I speak the truth, why do you not believe me?

Whoever is of Elohim hears the words of Elohim. For this reason you do not hear, because you are not of Elohim.

The Yehudaye answered and said to him: Do we not say well that you are a Shomraya, and that a demon is in you?

Y'shua said to them: I have no demon, but I honor my Father, and you are despising me.

But I do not seek my glory. There is one who seeks it and judges.

Amen, amen, I say to you: Whoever keeps my word will not see death forever.

The Yehudaye say to him: Now we know that you have a demon. Avraham died, and the prophets; and you say: Whoever keeps my word will not taste death forever.

Are you greater than our father Avraham who died, and than the prophets who died? Who do you make yourself?

Y'shua said to them: If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say that he is our Elohim.

And you have not known him. But I know him; and if I say that I do not know him, I would be a liar like you. But I know him, and I keep his word.

Avraham your father longed to see my day, and he saw and rejoiced.

The Yehudaye say to him: You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Avraham?

Y'shua said to them: Amen, amen, I say to you, that before Avraham was, I am.¹

And they took up stones to stone him. But Y'shua hid himself and went out from the temple and passed among them and went.
