Jefus Speaks again in the Temple the
laft day of the Feast. Some take
him for a Prophet; others not, be-
cause he came out of Galilee. They
Seek again to lay hold on him.

N the last day, that great day of the feaft, Jefus ftood and cried, faying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me 38. and drink. He that believeth on me, 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 Ghoft 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

40.

the Chrift. But fome faid, Shall Chrift 42. come out of Galilee? Hath not the Scripture faid, that Chrift cometh of the feed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was? So there was a divifion among the people because of him. And fome of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him.

But this people 49. who knoweth not the Law are curfed. 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. Art thou alfo of Galilee? Search and look, for out of Galilee arifeth no Prophet. And every man went to his own 53. house.

The Judgment of Christ concerning an
Adulterefs.

ESUS went unto the mount of 1. Joh. viii.
Olives: And early in the morning 2.
he came again into the temple, and all
the people came unto him; and he far
down, and taught them.

And the Scribes and Pharifees brought 3. unto him a woman taken in Adultery; and when they had fet her in the mids, They fay unto him, Mafter, this wo. 4. man was taken in adultery, in the very at. Now Mofes in the Law command-s. 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...

When Jefus had lift up himself, and faw none but the woman, he faid unto her, Woman, where are thofe thine accufers? hath no man condemned thee? 11. She faid, no man, Lord: And Jefus faid unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: Go, and fin no more..
