21:4And they marched from mount Hor, by the way that leadeth to the Red Sea, to compass the land of Edom. And the people began to be weary of their journey and work:

5And speaking against God end Moses, they said: Why did you bring us out of Egypt, to die in the wilderness? There is no bread, nor have we any waters: our soul now loatheth this very light food.

6Therefore the Lord sent among the people fiery serpents, which bit them and killed many of them.

7Upon which they came to Moses, and said: We have sinned, because we have said against the Lord and you: pray that he may take away these serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.

8And the Lord said to him: Make brazen serpent, and set it up for a sign: whoever being struck shall look on it, shall live.

9Moses therefore made a brazen serpent, and set it up for a sign: which when those who were bitten looked upon, they were healed.

102:2Hear, O Lord, my prayer: and let my cry come to you.

3Turn not away your face from me: in the day when I am in trouble, incline your ear to me. In what day soever I shall call upon you, hear me speedily.

16And the Gentiles shall fear your name, O Lord, and all the kings of the earth your glory.

17For the Lord has built up Sion: and he shall be seen in his glory.

18He has had regard to the prayer of the humble: and he has not despised their petition.

19Let these things be written to another generation: and the people that shall be created shall praise the Lord:

20Because he has looked forth from his high sanctuary: from heaven the Lord has looked upon the earth.

21That he might hear the groans of them that are in fetters: that he might release the children of the killed:

8:21Again therefore Jesus said to them: I go, and you shall seek me, and you shall die in your sin. Whither I go, you cannot come.

22The Jews therefore said: Will he kill himself, because he said: Whither I go, you cannot come?

23And he said to them: You are from beneath, I am from above. You are of this world, I am not of this world.

24Therefore I said to you, that you shall die in your sins. For if you believe not that I am he, you shall die in your sin.

25They said therefore to him: Who art you? Jesus said to them: The beginning, who also speak to you.

26Many things I have to speak and to judge of you. But he that sent me, is true: and the things I have heard of him, these same I speak in the world.

27And they understood not, that he called God his Father.

28Jesus therefore said to them: When you shall have lifted up the Son of Man, then shall you know, that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself, but as the Father has taught me, these things I speak:

29And he that sent me, is with me, and he has not left me alone: for I do always the things that please him.

30When he spoke these things, many believed in him.
