fought to take him: But no man laid
hands on him, because his hour was
not yet come.

31.

And many of the people believ'd on him, and faid, When Chrift cometh, will be do more miracles than those which this man bath done?

The Pharifees heard that the people 32.
murmured fuch things concerning him;
and the Pharifees and the chief Priefts
fent officers to take him. Then faid 33.
Jefus unto them, Tet a little while am
I with you, and then I go to him that

find me: and where I am, thither ye can-

not come.

Then faid the Jews among themselves, 35. Whither will be go, that we shall not find him? Will he go to the difperfed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles? What manner of faying is this 36. that he faid, Ye shall feek me, and shall not find me; and where I am, thither ye cannot come?

as the Scripture bath faid, out of his bel 39. ly fhall flow rivers of living water. (But

this fpake he of the Spirit, which they that believe should receive, for the Holy Ghost was not yet given, because that Jefus was not yet glorified) Many of the people therefore, when they heard this faying, faid, Of a truth this 41. is the prophet. Others faid, This is

Nicodemus faith unto them, (He that so. came to Jefus by night, being one of them) Doth our Law judge any man be- 51. fore it hear him, and know what he doeth? They answered and faid unto him, 52.

And the Scribes and Pharifees brought 3. unto him a woman taken in Adultery; and when they had fet her in the mids, They say unto him, Mafter, this wo-4. man was taken in adultery, in the very alt. Now Mofes in the Law command-s. ed us, that fuch fhould be ftoned; but what fayeft thou? This they faid, tempt-6. ing him, that they might have to accufe him. But Jefus tooped down. and with his finger wrote on the ground as tho' he heard them not.

And they which heard it, be, ing convicted in their own confcience, went out one by one; beginning at the eldeft, even unto the laft, and Jefus was left alone, and the woman ftanding in the midft.
