Latin text

14 Sicut Moses exaltavit serpentem in deserto, ita exaltari oportet filium hominis
15 Ut omnis qui credit in eum, non pereat sed habeat vitam aeternam.

French translation

14 Comme Moses a enlevé le serpent dans le desert, il faut enlever le fils de l'homme
15 Afin que tous ce qui croient en lui ne perissent pas et aient la vie éternelle.

English translation

14 As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up
15 So that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have eternal life.
