¹ Or l'Eternel avait dit à Abram : Sors de ton pays, et d'avec ta parenté, et de la maison de ton père, [et viens] au pays que je te montrerai.

² Et je te ferai devenir une grande nation, et te bénirai, et je rendrai ton nom grand, et tu seras béni.

³ Je bénirai ceux qui te béniront, et je maudirai ceux qui te maudiront; et toutes les familles de la terre seront bénies en toi.

⁴ Abram donc partit, comme l'Eternel lui avait dit, et Lot alla avec lui; et Abram était âgé de soixante et quinze ans, quand il sortit de Caran.

⁵ Abram prit aussi Saraï sa femme, et Lot fils de son frère, et tout leur bien, qu'ils avaient acquis, et les personnes qu'ils avaient eues à Caran; et ils partirent pour venir au pays de Canaan, auquel ils entrèrent.

⁶ Et Abram passa au travers de ce pays-là jusqu'au lieu de Sichem, [et] jusqu'en la plaine de Moré; et les Cananéens étaient alors dans ce pays-là.

⁷ Et l'Eternel apparut à Abram, et lui dit : Je donnerai ce pays à ta postérité. Et Abram bâtit là un autel à l'Eternel qui lui était apparu.

⁸ Et il se transporta de là vers la montagne, qui est à l'Orient de Béthel, et y tendit ses tentes, ayant Béthel à l'Occident, et Haï à l'Orient ; et il bâtit là un autel à l'Eternel, et invoqua le nom de l'Eternel.

⁹ Puis Abram partit [de là], marchant et s'avançant vers le Midi.

¹⁰ Mais la famine étant survenue dans le pays, Abram descendit en Egypte pour s'y retirer; car la famine était grande au pays.

¹¹ Et il arriva comme il était près d'entrer en Egypte, qu'il dit à Saraï, sa femme : Voici, je sais que tu es une fort belle femme;

¹² C'est pourquoi il arrivera que quand les Egyptiens t'auront vue, ils diront : C'est la femme de cet homme, et ils me tueront, mais ils te laisseront vivre.

¹³ [Dis donc], je te prie, que tu es ma sœur, afin que je sois bien traité à cause de toi, et que, par ton moyen ma vie soit préservée.

¹⁴ Il arriva donc qu'aussitôt qu'Abram fut venu en Egypte, les Egyptiens virent que cette femme était fort belle.

¹⁵ Les principaux de la cour de Pharaon la virent aussi, et la louèrent devant lui, et elle fut enlevée [pour être menée] dans la maison de Pharaon.

¹⁶ Lequel fit du bien à Abram, à cause d'elle; de sorte qu'il en eut des brebis, des bœufs, des ânes, des serviteurs, des servantes, des ânesses, et des chameaux.

¹⁷ Mais l'Eternel frappa de grandes plaies Pharaon et sa maison, à cause de Saraï femme d'Abram.

¹⁸ Alors Pharaon appela Abram, et lui dit : Qu'est-ce que tu m'as fait? pourquoi ne m'as-tu pas déclaré que c'était ta femme?

¹⁹ Pourquoi as-tu dit, c'est ma sœur? car je l'avais prise pour ma femme; mais maintenant, voici ta femme, prends-la, et t'en va.

²⁰ Et Pharaon ayant donné ordre à ses gens, ils le conduisirent, lui, sa femme, et tout ce qui était à lui.

¹ After these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee, for he wouldn't walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.

² Now the feast of the Jews, the Feast of Booths, was at hand.

³ His brothers therefore said to him, "Depart from here, and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see your works which you do.

⁴ For no one does anything in secret, and himself seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, reveal yourself to the world."

⁵ For even his brothers didn't believe in him.

⁶ Jesus therefore said to them, "My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.

⁷ The world can't hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.

⁸ You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled."

⁹ Having said these things to them, he stayed in Galilee.

¹⁰ But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly, but as it were in secret.

¹¹ The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, "Where is he?"

¹² There was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning him. Some said, "He is a good man." Others said, "Not so, but he leads the multitude astray."

¹³ Yet no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews.

¹⁴ But when it was now the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.

¹⁵ The Jews therefore marveled, saying, "How does this man know letters, having never been educated?"

¹⁶ Jesus therefore answered them, "My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.

¹⁷ If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God, or if I am speaking from myself.

¹⁸ He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

¹⁹ Didn't Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill me?"

²⁰ The multitude answered, "You have a demon! Who seeks to kill you?"

²¹ Jesus answered them, "I did one work, and you all marvel because of it.

²² Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a boy.

²³ If a boy receives circumcision on the Sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me, because I made a man completely healthy on the Sabbath?

²⁴ Don't judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment."

²⁵ Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, "Isn't this he whom they seek to kill?

²⁶ Behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is truly the Christ?

²⁷ However we know where this man comes from, but when the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from."

²⁸ Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, "You both know me, and know where I am from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you don't know.

²⁹ I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me."

³⁰ They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.

³¹ But of the multitude, many believed in him. They said, "When the Christ comes, he won't do more signs than those which this man has done, will he?"

³² The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.

³³ Then Jesus said, "I will be with you a little while longer, then I go to him who sent me.

³⁴ You will seek me, and won't find me; and where I am, you can't come."

³⁵ The Jews therefore said among themselves, "Where will this man go that we won't find him? Will he go to the Dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?

³⁶ What is this word that he said, 'You will seek me, and won't find me; and where I am, you can't come'?"

³⁷ Now on the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink!

³⁸ He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within him will flow rivers of living water."

³⁹ But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him were to receive. For the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus wasn't yet glorified.

⁴⁰ Many of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, "This is truly the prophet."

⁴¹ Others said, "This is the Christ." But some said, "What, does the Christ come out of Galilee?

⁴² Hasn't the Scripture said that the Christ comes of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?"

⁴³ So there arose a division in the multitude because of him.

⁴⁴ Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.

⁴⁵ The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, "Why didn't you bring him?"

⁴⁶ The officers answered, "No man ever spoke like this man!"

⁴⁷ The Pharisees therefore answered them, "You aren't also led astray, are you?

⁴⁸ Have any of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees?

⁴⁹ But this multitude that doesn't know the law is accursed."

⁵⁰ Nicodemus (he who came to him by night, being one of them) said to them,

⁵¹ "Does our law judge a man, unless it first hears from him personally and knows what he does?"

⁵² They answered him, "Are you also from Galilee? Search, and see that no prophet has arisen out of Galilee."

⁵³ Everyone went to his own house,
