¹ And God said all these words:

² I am the Lord your God who took you out of the land of Egypt, out of the prison-house.

³ You are to have no other gods but me.

⁴ You are not to make an image or picture of anything in heaven or on the earth or in the waters under the earth:

⁵ You may not go down on your faces before them or give them worship: for I, the Lord your God, am a God who will not give his honour to another; and I will send punishment on the children for the wrongdoing of their fathers, to the third and fourth generation of my haters;

⁶ And I will have mercy through a thousand generations on those who have love for me and keep my laws.

⁷ You are not to make use of the name of the Lord your God for an evil purpose; whoever takes the Lord's name on his lips for an evil purpose will be judged a sinner by the Lord

⁸ Keep in memory the Sabbath and let it be a holy day.

⁹ On six days do all your work:

¹⁰ But the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God; on that day you are to do no work, you or your son or your daughter, your man-servant or your woman-servant, your cattle or the man from a strange country who is living among you:

¹¹ For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and the sea, and everything in them, and he took his rest on the seventh day: for this reason the Lord has given his blessing to the seventh day and made it holy.

¹² Give honour to your father and to your mother, so that your life may be long in the land which the Lord your God is giving you.

¹³ Do not put anyone to death without cause.

¹⁴ Do not be false to the married relation.

¹⁵ Do not take the property of another.

¹⁶ Do not give false witness against your neighbour.

¹⁷ Let not your desire be turned to your neighbour's house, or his wife or his man-servant or his woman-servant or his ox or his ass or anything which is his.

¹⁸ And all the people were watching the thunderings and the flames and the sound of the horn and the mountain smoking; and when they saw it, they kept far off, shaking with fear.

¹⁹ And they said to Moses, To your words we will give ear, but let not the voice of God come to our ears, for fear death may come on us.

²⁰ And Moses said to the people, Have no fear: for God has come to put you to the test, so that fearing him you may be kept from sin.

²¹ And the people kept their places far off, but Moses went near to the dark cloud where God was.

²² And the Lord said to Moses, Say to the children of Israel, You yourselves have seen that my voice has come to you from heaven

²³ Gods of silver and Gods of gold you are not to make for yourselves.

²⁴ Make for me an altar of earth, offering on it your burned offerings and your peace-offerings, your sheep and your oxen: in every place where I have put the memory of my name, I will come to you and give you my blessing.

²⁵ And if you make me an altar of stone do not make it of cut stones: for the touch of an instrument will make it unclean.

²⁶ And do not go up by steps to my altar, for fear that your bodies may be seen uncovered.

¹ Let not your heart be troubled: have faith in God and have faith in me.

² In my Father's house are rooms enough; if it was not so, would I have said that I am going to make ready a place for you?

³ And if I go and make ready a place for you, I will come back again and will take you to be with me, so that you may be where I am.

⁴ And you all have knowledge of where I am going, and of the way to it.

⁵ Thomas said, Lord, we have no knowledge of where you are going; how may we have knowledge of the way?

⁶ Jesus said to him, I am the true and living way: no one comes to the Father but by me.

⁷ If you had knowledge of me, you would have knowledge of my Father: you have knowledge of him now and have seen him.

⁸ Philip said to him, Lord, let us see the Father, and we have need of nothing more.

⁹ Jesus said to him, Philip, have I been with you all this time, and still you have no knowledge of me? He who has seen me has seen the Father. Why do you say, Let us see the Father?

¹⁰ Have you not faith that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words which I say to you, I say not from myself: but the Father who is in me all the time does his works.

¹¹ Have faith that I am in the Father and that the Father is in me: at least, have faith in me because of what I do.

¹² Truly I say to you, He who puts his faith in me will do the very works which I do, and he will do greater things than these, because I am going to my Father.

¹³ And whatever request you make in my name, that I will do, so that the Father may have glory in the Son.

¹⁴ If you make any request to me in my name, I will do it.

¹⁵ If you have love for me, you will keep my laws.

¹⁶ And I will make prayer to the Father and he will give you another Helper to be with you for ever,

¹⁷ Even the Spirit of true knowledge. That Spirit the world is not able to take to its heart because it sees him not and has no knowledge of him: but you have knowledge of him, because he is ever with you and will be in you.

¹⁸ I will not let you be without a friend: I am coming to you.

¹⁹ A little time longer, and the world will see me no more; but you will see me; and you will be living because I am living.

²⁰ At that time it will be clear to you that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I in you.

²¹ He who has my laws and keeps them, he it is who has love for me: and he who has love for me will be loved by my Father, and I will have love for him and will let myself be seen clearly by him.

²² Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, How is it that you will let yourself be seen clearly by us and not by the world?

²³ Jesus said to him in answer, If anyone has love for me, he will keep my words: and he will be dear to my Father; and we will come to him and make our living-place with him.

²⁴ He who has no love for me does not keep my words; and the word which you are hearing is not my word but the Father's who sent me.

²⁵ I have said all this to you while I am still with you.

²⁶ But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will be your teacher in all things and will put you in mind of everything I have said to you.

²⁷ May peace be with you; my peace I give to you: I give it not as the world gives. Let not your heart be troubled; let it be without fear.

²⁸ Keep in mind how I said to you, I go away and come to you again. If you had love for me you would be glad, because I am going to the Father: for the Father is greater than I.

²⁹ And now I have given you word of it before it comes, so that, when it comes, you may have faith.

³⁰ After this I will not say much to you, because the ruler of this world comes: and he has no power over me;

³¹ But he comes so that the world may see that I have love for the Father, and that I am doing as I am ordered by the Father. Get up, and let us go.
