⁴⁰ and now, ye seek to kill me -- a man who hath spoken to you the truth I heard from God; this Abraham did not;

²⁶ many things I have to speak concerning you and to judge, but He who sent me is true, and I -- what things I heard from Him -- these I say to the world.'

¹² because of this be glad, ye heavens, and those in them who do tabernacle; wo to those inhabiting the land and the sea, because the Devil did go down unto you, having great wrath, having known that he hath little time.'

¹³ And when the dragon saw that he was cast forth to the earth, he pursued the woman who did bring forth the male,

¹⁷ and the dragon was angry against the woman, and went away to make war with the rest of her seed, those keeping the commands of God, and having the testimony of Jesus Christ.

⁴ and his tail doth draw the third of the stars of the heaven, and he did cast them to the earth; and the dragon did stand before the woman who is about to bring forth, that when she may bring forth, her child he may devour;

²⁹ but as then he who was born according to the flesh did persecute him according to the spirit, so also now;

¹⁵ Every one who is hating his brother -- a man-killer he is, and ye have known that no man-killer hath life age-during in him remaining,

¹⁶ so that your enemy have I become, being true to you?

³⁷ `I have known that ye are seed of Abraham, but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you;

³⁸ I -- that which I have seen with my Father do speak, and ye, therefore, that which ye have seen with your father -- ye do.'

³² The wicked is watching for the righteous, And is seeking to put him to death.

¹² The wicked is devising against the righteous, And gnashing against him his teeth.
