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

 15 And the Jews wondered, saying: How doth this man know letters, having never learned?
Et mirabantur Judaei, dicentes : Quomodo hic litteras scit, cum non didicerit?
 16 Jesus answered them, and said: My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
Respondit eis Jesus, et dixit : Mea doctrina non est mea, sed ejus qui misit me.
 17 If any man do the will of him; he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
Si quis voluerit voluntatem ejus facere, cognoscet de doctrina, utrum ex Deo sit, an ego a meipso loquar.
 18 He that speaketh of himself, seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, he is true, and there is no injustice in him.
Qui a semetipso loquitur, gloriam propriam quaerit; qui autem quaerit gloriam ejus qui misit eum, hic verax est, et injustitia in illo non est.
 19 Did Moses not give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law?
Nonne Moyses dedit vobis legem : et nemo ex vobis facit legem?
 20 Why seek you to kill me? The multitude answered, and said: Thou hast a devil; who seeketh to kill thee?
Quid me quaeritis interficere? Respondit turba, et dixit : Daemonium habes : quis te quaeret interficere?
 21 Jesus answered, and said to them: One work I have done; and you all wonder:
Respondit Jesus et dixit eis : Unum opus feci, et omnes miramini :
 22 Therefore, Moses gave you circumcision (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and on the sabbath day you circumcise a man.
propterea Moyses dedit vobis circumcisionem ( non quia ex Moyse est, sed ex patribus), et in sabbato circumciditis hominem.
 23 If a man receive circumcision on the sabbath day, that the law of Moses may not be broken; are you angry at me because I have healed the whole man on the sabbath day?
Si circumcisionem accipit homo in sabbato, ut non solvatur lex Moysi : mihi indignamini quia totum hominem sanum feci in sabbato?

Dicebant ergo quidam ex Jerosolymis : Nonne hic est, quem quaerunt interficere?
 26 And behold, he speaketh openly, and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers known for a truth, that this is the Christ?
et ecce palam loquitur, et nihil ei dicunt. Numquid vere cognoverunt principes quia hic est Christus?
 27 But we know this man, whence he is: but when the Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.
Sed hunc scimus unde sit : Christus autem cum venerit, nemo scit unde sit.
 28 Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching, and saying: You both know me, and you know whence I am: and I am not come of myself; but he that sent me, is true, whom you know not.
Clamabat ergo Jesus in templo docens, et dicens : Et me scitis, et unde sim scitis : et a meipso non veni, sed est verus qui misit me, quem vos nescitis.
 29 I know him, because I am from him, and he hath sent me.
Ego scio eum : quia ab ipso sum, et ipse me misit.
 30 They sought therefore to apprehend him: and no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.

13 And the pasch of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
Et prope erat Pascha Judaeorum, et ascendit Jesus Jerosolymam :
 14 And he found in the temple them that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting.
et invenit in templo vendentes boves, et oves, et columbas, et numularios sedentes.
 15 And when he had made, as it were, a scourge of little cords, he drove them all out of the temple, the sheep also and the oxen, and the money of the changers he poured out, and the tables he overthrew.
Et cum fecisset quasi flagellum de funiculis, omnes ejecit de templo, oves quoque, et boves, et numulariorum effudit aes, et mensas subvertit.
 16 And to them that sold doves he said: Take these things hence, and make not the house of my Father a house of traffic.
Et his qui columbas vendebant, dixit : Auferte ista hinc, et nolite facere domum patris mei, domum negotiationis.
 17 And his disciples remembered, that it was written: The zeal of thy house hath eaten me up.
Recordati sunt vero discipuli ejus quia scriptum est : Zelus domus tuae comedit me.
 18 The Jews, therefore, answered, and said to him: What sign dost thou shew unto us, seeing thou dost these things?
Responderunt ergo Judaei, et dixerunt ei : Quod signum ostendis nobis, quia haec facis?
 19 Jesus answered, and said to them: Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
Respondit Jesus, et dixit eis : Solvite templum hoc, et in tribus diebus excitabo illud.
 20 The Jews then said: Six and forty years was this temple in building; and wilt thou raise it up in three days?
Dixerunt ergo Judaei : Quadraginta et sex annis aedificatum est templum hoc, et tu in tribus diebus excitabis illud?
 21 But he spoke of the temple of his body.
Ille autem dicebat de templo corporis sui.
 22 When therefore he was risen again from the dead, his disciples remembered, that he had said this, and they believed the scripture, and the word that Jesus had said.
Cum ergo resurrexisset a mortuis, recordati sunt discipuli ejus, quia hoc dicebat, et crediderunt scripturae et sermoni quem dixit Jesus.
 23 Now when he was at Jerusalem, at the pasch, upon the festival day, many believed in his name, seeing his signs which he did.
Cum autem esset Jerosolymis in Pascha in die festo, multi crediderunt in nomine ejus, videntes signa ejus, quae faciebat.
 24 But Jesus did not trust himself unto them, for that he knew all men,
Ipse autem Jesus non credebat semetipsum eis, eo quod ipse nosset omnes,
 25 And because he needed not that any should give testimony of man: for he knew what was in man.
et quia opus ei non erat ut quis testimonium perhiberet de homine : ipse enim sciebat quid esset in homine.

1 After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is that of Tiberias.
Post haec abiit Jesus trans mare Galilaeae, quod est Tiberiadis :
 2 And a great multitude followed him, because they saw the miracles which he did on them that were diseased.
et sequebatur eum multitudo magna, quia videbant signa quae faciebat super his qui infirmabantur.

Subiit ergo in montem Jesus et ibi sedebat cum discipulis suis.

 5 When Jesus therefore had lifted up his eyes, and seen that a very great multitude cometh to him, he said to Philip: Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?
Cum sublevasset ergo oculos Jesus, et vidisset quia multitudo maxima venit ad eum, dixit ad Philippum : Unde ememus panes, ut manducent hi?
 6 And this he said to try him; for he himself knew what he would do.
Hoc autem dicebat tentans eum : ipse enim sciebat quid esset facturus.
 7 Philip answered him: Two hundred pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one may take a little.
Respondit ei Philippus : Ducentorum denariorum panes non sufficiunt eis, ut unusquisque modicum quid accipiat.
 8 One of his disciples, Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, saith to him:
Dicit ei unus ex discipulis ejus, Andreas, frater Simonis Petri :
 9 There is a boy here that hath five barley loaves, and two fishes; but what are these among so many?
Est puer unus hic qui habet quinque panes hordeaceos et duos pisces : sed haec quid sunt inter tantos?
 10 Then Jesus said: Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. The men therefore sat down, in number about five thousand.
Dixit ergo Jesus : Facite homines discumbere. Erat autem foenum multum in loco. Discumberunt ergo viri, numero quasi quinque millia.
 11 And Jesus took the loaves: and when he had given thanks, he distributed to them that were set down. In like manner also of the fishes, as much as they would.
Accepit ergo Jesus panes : et cum gratias egisset, distribuit discumbentibus : similiter et ex piscibus quantum volebant.
 12 And when they were filled, he said to his disciples: Gather up the fragments that remain, lest they be lost.
Ut autem impleti sunt, dixit discipulis suis : Colligite quae superaverunt fragmenta, ne pereant.
 13 They gathered up therefore, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above to them that had eaten.
Collegerunt ergo, et impleverunt duodecim cophinos fragmentorum ex quinque panibus hordeaceis, quae superfuerunt his qui manducaverant.
 14 Now those men, when they had seen what a miracle Jesus had done, said: This is of a truth the prophet, that is to come into the world.
Illi ergo homines cum vidissent quod Jesus fecerat signum, dicebant : Quia hic est vere propheta, qui venturus est in mundum.
 15 Jesus therefore, when he knew that they would come to take him by force, and make him king, fled again into the mountain himself alone.
Jesus ergo cum cognovisset quia venturi essent ut raperent eum, et facerent eum regem, fugit iterum in montem ipse solus.

1 And Jesus went unto mount Olivet.
Jesus autem perrexit in montem Oliveti :
 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.
et diluculo iterum venit in templum, et omnis populus venit ad eum, et sedens docebat eos.
 3 And the scribes and the Pharisees bring unto him a woman taken in adultery: and they set her in the midst,
Adducunt autem scribae et pharisaei mulierem in adulterio deprehensam : et statuerunt eam in medio,
 4 And said to him: Master, this woman was even now taken in adultery.
et dixerunt ei : Magister, haec mulier modo deprehensa est in adulterio.
 5 Now Moses in the law commanded us to stone such a one. But what sayest thou?
In lege autem Moyses mandavit nobis hujusmodi lapidare. Tu ergo quid dicis?
 6 And this they said tempting him, that they might accuse him. But Jesus bowing himself down, wrote with his finger on the ground.
Hoc autem dicebant tentantes eum, ut possent accusare eum. Jesus autem inclinans se deorsum, digito scribebat in terra.
 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.
Cum ergo perseverarent interrogantes eum, erexit se, et dixit eis : Qui sine peccato est vestrum, primus in illam lapidem mittat.
 8 And again stooping down, he wrote on the ground.
Et iterum se inclinans, scribebat in terra.
 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.
Audientes autem unus post unum exibant, incipientes a senioribus : et remansit solus Jesus, et mulier in medio stans.
 10 Then Jesus lifting up himself, said to her: Woman, where are they that accused thee? Hath no man condemned thee?
Erigens autem se Jesus, dixit ei : Mulier, ubi sunt qui te accusabant? nemo te condemnavit?
 11 Who said: No man, Lord. And Jesus said: Neither will I condemn thee. Go, and now sin no more.
Quae dixit : Nemo, Domine. Dixit autem Jesus : Nec ego te condemnabo : vade, et jam amplius noli peccare.
The guilty woman. Clemency of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

During these forty days of Lent the Church entreats our Lord Jesus Christ to give us the living water about which he spoke to the woman of Samaria near Jacob's well, the water which quenches the thirst of our souls forever.
