There was a man sent from God / whose name was Iohn. The same cam as a witnes to beare witnes of the lyght / that all men through him myght beleve. He was not that lyght: but to beare witnes of the lyght. That was a true lyght / which lyghteth all men that come into the worlde. He was in þe; worlde / and the worlde was made by him: and yet the worlde knewe him not.

He cam amonge his (awne) ^note and his awne receaved him not. B   But as meny as receaved him / ^note to them he gave power to be the sonnes of God in þt; they beleved on his name: which were borne / not of bloude nor of the will of the flesshe / nor yet of the will of man: but of God.

And the worde was made flesshe and dwelt amonge vs / ∧ we sawe the glory of it / as the glory of the only begotten sonne of þe; father / which worde was full of grace and verite. &cross3;

^note&cross2; Iohn bare witnes of him and cryed sayinge: This was he of whome I spake / he that cometh after me / was before me / because he was yer then I. And of his fulnes have all we receaved / even (grace) ^note for grace. For the lawe was geven by Moses / but grace ∧ truthe came by Iesus Christ. No m&abar; hath sene God at eny tyme. The only begott&ebar; sonne / which is in þe; bosome of þe; father / he hath declared him. &cross3;

C   &cross2; And this is the recorde of Iohn: When the Iewes sent Prestes and Levites from Ierusalem / to axe / him what arte thou? And he confessed / and denyed not / and sayde playnly: I am not Christ. And they axed him: what then? arte thou Helyas? And he sayde: I am not. Arte thou a Prophete? And he answered no. Then sayd they vnto him: what arte thou that we maye geve an answer to them that sent vs: What sayest thou of thy selfe? He sayde: I am the ^note voyce of a cryar in the wyldernes / make strayght the waye of the Lorde / as sayde the Prophete Esaias.

D   And they which were sent / were of the pharises. And they axed him / ∧ sayde vnto him: why baptisest thou then / yf thou be not Christ nor Helyas / nether a Prophet? Iohn answered them sayinge: I baptise with water: but one is come amonge you / whom ye knowe not he it is that cometh after me / whiche was before me / whose sho latchet I am not worthy to vnlose. These thinges were done in Bethabara beyonde Iordan / where Iohn dyd baptyse. &cross3;

&cross2; The nexte daye / Iohn sawe Iesus commyge vnto him / ^note and sayde: beholde the lambe of God / which taketh awaye the synne of the worlde. This is he of whom I sayde. After me cometh a man / which was before me / for he was yer then I / and I knew him not: but that he shuld be declared to Israell / therfore am I come baptisynge with water.

E   And Iohn bare recorde sayinge: I sawe the sprete descende from heven / lyke vnto a dove / and abyde apon him / and I knewe him not. ^noteBut he that sent me to baptise in water / the same sayde vnto me: apon whom thou shalt se the sprete descende and tary styll on him / the same is he which baptiseth with the holy goost. And I sawe and bare recorde / that this is the sonne of God.

The next daye after / Iohn stode agayne / ∧ two of his disciples. And he behelde Iesus as he walked by / and sayde: beholde the lambe of God. And the two disciples hearde him speake / and folowed Iesus. And Iesus turned about / and sawe them folowe / ∧ sayde vnto them: what seke ye? They sayde vnto him: Rabbi (which is to saye by interpretacion / Master) where dwellest thou? He sayde vnto them: come and se. They came and sawe where he dwelt: ∧ abode with him that daye. For it was about the tenthe houre.

F    ^noteOne of the two which hearde Iohn speake and folowed Iesus / was Andrew Simon Peters brother. The same founde his brother Simon fyrst / and sayde vnto him: we have

founde Messias / which is by interpretacion / annoynted: ∧ brought him to Iesus. And Iesus behelde him and sayde: thou arte Simon the sonne of Ionas / thou shalt be called Cephas: which is by interpretacion / a stone.

The daye folowynge Iesus wolde goo into Galile / and founde Philip / ∧ sayde vnto him / folowe me. G    ^notePhilip was of Bethsaida the cite of Andrew and Peter. And Philip founde Nathanael / and sayde vnto him. We have founde him of whom Moses in the lawe / and the prophetes dyd wryte. ^noteIesus the sonne of Ioseph of Nazareth. And Nathanael sayde vnto him: can ther eny good thinge come out of Nazareth? Philip sayde to him: come and se.

Iesus sawe Nathanael commynge to him / and sayde of him. Beholde a ryght Israelite / in wh&obar; is no gyle. Nathanael sayd vnto him: where knewest thou me? Iesus answered / and sayde vnto him: Before that Philip called the / when thou wast vnder þe; fygge tree / I sawe the. Nathanael answered and sayde vnto him: Rabbi / thou arte the sonne of God / thou arte the kynge of Israel. Iesus answered and sayd vnto him: Because I sayde vnto the / I sawe the vnder the fygge tree / thou belevest. Thou shalt se greater thinges then these. And he sayde vnto him: Verely / verely / I saye vnto you: herafter shall ye se heven open / and the angels of God ascendynge and descendynge over the sonne of man. ¶ The seconde Chapter.

And the thryde daye / was ther a mariage in Cana a cite of Galile: ^note and the mother of Iesus was there. A   And Iesus was called also ∧ his disciples vnto the mariage. And when the wyne fayled / the mother of Iesus sayde vnto him: they have no wyne. Iesus sayde vnto her: woman / what have I to do with the? myne houre is not yet come. His mother sayde vnto the ministres: whatsoever he sayeth vnto you / do it. And therwere stondynge theare / sixe water pottes of stone after þe; maner of the purifyinge of þe; Iewes / contaynynge two or thre fyrkins a pece.

And Iesus sayde vnto them: fyll the water pottes with water. B   And they fylled them vp to the brym. And he sayde vnto them: drawe out now / and beare vnto the governer of the feaste. ^noteAnd they bare it. When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was turned vnto wyne / and knewe not whence it was (but the ministres which drue the water knew). He called the brydegrome / and sayde vnto him. All men at the beginnynge / set forth good wyne / and when men be dronke / then that which is worsse. But thou hast kept backe the good wyne / vntyll now.

This beginnynge of miracles dyd Iesus in Cana of Galile / and shewed his glory / and his disciples beleved on him. &cross3; After that he descended in to Capernaum / and his mother / and his brethren / and his disciples: but contynued not manye dayes there.

&cross2; And the Iewes ester was even at honde

/ and Iesus went vp to Ierusalem / ^note ∧ founde syttynge in the temple / those that solde oxen and shepe and doves / and chaungers of money. And he made a scourge of small cordes / and drave them all out of the temple / with the shepe ∧ oxen / and powred oute the changers money / and overthrue the tables / and sayde vnto them that solde doves: Have these thinges hence / ∧ make not my fathers housse an housse of marchaundyse. ^noteAnd his disciples remembred / how þt; it was wrytten: the zele of thyne housse hath even eaten me.

D   Then answered the Iewes and sayde vnto him: what token shewest thou vnto vs / ^note seynge that thou dost these thinges? Iesus answered and sayd vnto them: destroye this temple / ∧ in thre dayes I will reare it vp agayne. Then sayde the Iewes: xlvi. yeares was this temple abuyldinge: and wylt thou reare it vp in thre dayes? But he spake of the temple of his body. Assone therfore as he was rysen from deeth agayne / his disciples remembred that he thus sayde. And they beleved the scripture / and the wordes which Iesus had sayde.

^noteWhen he was at Ierusalem at ester in the feaste / many beleved on his name / when they sawe his miracles which he dyd. But Iesus put not him selfe in their hondes / because he knewe all men / and neded not / that eny man shuld testify of man. For he knewe what was in man. &cross3; ¶ The .iii. Chapter. &cross2;

Ther was a man of the pharises named Nicodemus a ruler amonge þe; Iewes. ^note A   The same cam to Iesus by nyght / and sayde vnto him: Rabbi / we knowe that thou arte a teacher whiche arte come from God. For no man coulde do suche miracles as thou doest / except God were with him. Iesus answered and sayde vnto him: Verely verely I saye vnto the: except a man be boren a newe / he cannot se the kyngdom of God. Nicodemus sayde vnto him: how can a man be boren when he is olde? can he enter into his moders wombe ∧ be boren agayne? Iesus answered: verely / verely I saye vnto the: except that a man be boren of water ∧ of þe; sprete / he cannot enter into the kyngdome of god. That which is boren of the flesshe / is flesshe: ∧ that which is boren of the sprete / is sprete. Marvayle not that I sayd to the / ye must be boren a newe. The wynde bloweth where he listeth / ∧ thou hearest his sounde: but canst not tell whence he cometh and whether he goeth. So is every man that is boren of the sprete.

And Nicodemus answered and sayde vnto him: how can these thinges be? B   Iesus answered and sayde vnto him: arte thou a master in Israel / and knowest not these thinges? Verely verely / I saye vnto the / we speake that we knowe / and testify that we have sene: and ye receave not oure witnes. Yf when I tell you erthely thinges / ye beleve not: how shuld ye beleve / yf I shall tell you of hevenly thinges?

And no man ascendeth vp to heaven / but

he that came doune from heaven / that is to saye / the sonne of man which is in heaven.

^noteAnd as Moses lifte vp the serpent in the wyldernes / even so must the sonne of man be lifte vp / that none that beleveth in him perisshe: ^note but have eternall lyfe. &cross3;

^note&cross2; For God so loveth the worlde / þt; he hath geven his only sonne / that none that beleve in him / C   shuld perisshe: ^note but shuld have everlastinge lyfe. For God sent not his sonne into the worlde / to cond&ebar;pne the worlde: but that the worlde through him / might be saved. He that beleveth on him / shall not be cond&ebar;pned. But he that beleveth not / is condempned all redy / ^note be cause he beleveth not in the name of the only sonne of God. And this is the condempnacion: that light is come into the worlde / ∧ the m&ebar; loved darcknes more then light / because their dedes were evill. For every man that evyll doeth / hateth the light: nether commeth to light / lest his dedes shuld be reproved. But he that doth truth / commeth to the light / that his dedes might be knowen / how that they are wrought in God. &cross3;

After these thinges cam Iesus ∧ his disciples into the Iewes londe / ∧ ther he haunted with them ∧ baptised. And Iohn also baptised in Enon besydes Salim / because ther was moche water there / ∧ they came ∧ were baptised. For Iohn was not yet cast into preson.

D   &cross2; And ther arose a questi&obar; bitwene Iohns disciples and the Iewes about purifiynge. And they came vnto Iohn / ∧ sayde vnto him:

Rabbi / he that was with the beyonde Iordan / to whom thou barest witnes. Beholde the same baptyseth / ∧ all m&ebar; come to him. Iohn answered / and sayde: a man can receave no thinge at all except it be gev&ebar; him fr&obar; heaven. Ye youre selves are witnesses / how that I sayde: I am not Christ but am sent before him. He that hath the bryde / is the brydegrome. But the frende of the brydegrome which stondeth by and heareth him / reioyseth greately of the brydgromes voyce. Tis my ioye is fulfilled. He must increace: ∧ I muste decreace.

He that commeth from an hye is above all: He that is of þe; erth / is of the erth / ∧ speaketh of the erth. He that c&obar;meth from heaven / is above all / ∧ what he hath sene ∧ hearde: that he testifieth: but no man receaveth his testimonye. How be it / he that hath receaved hys testimonye hath set to his seale that God is true. For he whom God hath sent / speaketh the wordes of God. ^noteFor God geveth not the sprete by measure. The father loveth the sonne ∧ hath geven all thinges into his honde. ^note He that beleveth on the sonne / hath everlastynge lyfe: and he that beleveth not the sonne / shall not se lyfe / but the wrathe of God abydeth on him. &cross3; ¶ The .iiii. Chapter.

A   Assone as the Lorde had knowledge / how the Pharises had hearde / that Iesus made and baptised moo disciples then Iohn (though that Iesus him selfe baptised not: but his disciples) he lefte Iewry / ∧

departed agayne into Galile. And it was so that he must nedes goo thorowe Samaria. Then came he to a cyte of Samaria called Sichar / besydes the possession that Iacob gave to his sonne Ioseph. ^noteAnd there was Iacobs well. Iesus then weryed in his iorney / sate thus on the well.

B    ^noteAnd it was about the sixte houre: ∧ there came a woman of Samaria to drawe water. And Iesus sayde vnto her: geve me drynke. For his disciples were gone awaye vnto the toune to bye meate. Then sayde the woman of Samaria vnto him: how is it / that thou beinge a Iewe / axest drinke of me / which am a Samaritane? for the Iewes medle not with the Samaritans. Iesus answered and sayde vnto hir: yf thou knewest the gyfte of God / ∧ who it is that sayeth to the geve me drynke / thou woldest have axed of him / and he wolde have geven the water of lyfe. The woman sayde vnto him. Syr thou hast no thinge to drawe with / and the well is depe: from whence then hast thou þt; water of lyfe? Arte thou greater then oure father Iacob which gave vs the well / and he him silfe dranke therof / ∧ his chyldren / and his catell?

Iesus answered ∧ sayde vnto hir: whosoever drinketh of this water / shall thurst agayne. But whosoever shall drinke of þe; water þt; I shall geve him / shall never be more a thyrst: but the water that I shall geve him / shalbe in him a well of water / springinge vp in to everlastinge lyfe. The wom&abar; sayd vnto him:

Syr geve me of that water / that I thyrst not / nether come hedder to drawe. Iesus sayde vnto her. Go and call thy husband / ∧ come hydder. The woman answered ∧ sayde to him: I have no husband. Iesus sayde to her. Thou hast well sayd / I have no husbande. For thou haste had five husbandes / and he whom thou now hast / is not thy husband. That saydest thou truely.

C   The woman sayde vnto him: Syr I perceave þt; thou arte a prophet. Oure fathers worshipped in this mountayne: ∧ ye saye that in Hierusalem is the place where men ought to worshippe. Iesus sayde vnto her: woman beleve me / the houre cometh / when ye shall nether in this mo&ubar;tayne nor yet at Ierusalem / worshippe the father. Ye worshippe / ye wot not what: we knowe what we worshippe. For salvacion c&obar;meth of the Iewes. But the houre commeth and nowe is / when the true worshippers shall worshippe the father in sprete and in trouthe. For verely suche the father requyreth to worshippe him. God is a sprete / and they that worshippe him / must worshippe him / in sprete and ^note trouthe.

D   The woman sayde vnto him: I wot well Messias shall come / which is called Christ. When he is come / he will tell vs all thing&es;. Iesus sayde vnto hir: I that speake vnto the am he. ^noteAnd ev&ebar; at that poynte / came his disciples / ∧ marvelled that he talked with the woman. Yet no man sayde vnto him: what meanest thou / or why talkest thou with her? The

wom&abar; then lefte her waterpot / and went her waye into the cite / ∧ sayde to the men. Come se a man which tolde me all thinges þt; ever I dyd. Is not he Christ? Then they went ont of the cite / ∧ came vnto him.

E   And in þe; meane while his disciples prayed him sayinge: Master / eate. He sayde vnto th&ebar;: I have meate to eate / that ye knowe not of. Then sayd þe; disciples bitwene them selves: hath eny m&abar; brought him meate? Iesus sayde vnto them: my meate is to doo the will of him that sent me. And to fynnysshe his worke. Saye not ye: there are yet foure monethes / and then c&obar;meth harvest? Beholde I saye vnto you / lyfte vp youre eyes / ∧ loke on þe; regi&obar;s: for they are whyte all redy vnto harvest. And he þe; repeth receaveth rewarde / ∧ gaddereth frute vnto life eternall: that bothe he that soweth / ∧ he þt; repeth myght reioyse to gether. And herin is the sayinge true / þt; one soweth / ∧ another repeth. I sent you to repe þt; wher&obar; ye bestowed no laboure. Other men laboured / and ye are entred into their labours.

F   Many of the Samarit&abar;s of that cyte beleved on him / for þe; sayinge of the wom&abar; / which testified: he tolde me all thinges þt; ever I dyd. Then when the Samarit&abar;s were come vnto him / they besought him / þt; he wolde tary &wt; th&ebar;. And he aboode there two dayes. And many moo beleved because of his awne wordes / ∧ sayd vnto the woman: Now we beleve not because of thy sayinge. For we have herde him oure selves / and knowe that this is even

in dede Christ the savioure of the worlde. &cross3;

^noteAfter two dayes he departed thence / ∧ w&ebar;t awaye into Galile. And Iesus him selfe testified / that a Prophete hath none honoure in his awne countre. Then assone as he was come into Galile / the Galileans receaved him which had sene all the thinges þt; he dyd at Ierusalem at þe; feast. For they w&ebar;t also vnto þe; feast daye. G    ^noteAnd Iesus came agayne into Cana of Galile / wher he turned water into wyne.

^note&cross2; And ther was a certayne ruler / whose sonne was sicke at Capernaum. Assone as the same herde that Iesus was come out of Iewry into Galile / he w&ebar;t vnto him / and besought him / þt; he wolde descende / ∧ heale his sonne: For he was ev&ebar; readie to dye. Then sayde Iesus vnto him: excepte ye se signes ∧ w&obar;dres / ye c&abar;not beleve. The ruler sayd vnto him: Syr come awaye or ever þt; my chylde dye. Iesus sayde vnto him / goo thy waye / thy sonne liveth. And the m&abar; beleved þe; wordes þt; Iesus had spok&ebar; vnto him / ∧ w&ebar;t his waye. And anone as he went on his waye / his servant&es; met him / ∧ tolde him sayinge: thy chylde liveth. Then enquyred he of th&ebar; the houre when he beg&abar;ne to amende. And they sayde vnto him: Yester daye the sev&ebar;the houre / the fever lefte him. And the father knew that it was the same houre in which Iesus sayde vnto him: Thy sonne liveth. And he beleved / and all his housholde. &cross3; Thys is agayne the seconde myracle / þt; Iesus dyd / after he was come oute of Iewry into Galile. ¶ The .v. Cha. &cross2;

A   After that ther was a feast of the Iewes / ∧ Iesus went vp to Ierusalem. And ther is at Ierusalem / by þe; ^note slaughterhousse / a pole called in þe; Ebrue t&obar;ge / Bethseda / havinge five porches / in which laye a greate multitude of sicke folke / of blinde / halt ∧ wyddered / waytinge for the movinge of the water. For an angell w&ebar;t doune at a certayne ceason into þe; pole ∧ troubled þe; water. Whosoever then fyrst after the steringe of the water / stepped in / was made whoale of what soever disease he had. And a certayne m&abar; was theare / which had bene diseased .xxxviii. yeares. When Iesus sawe him lye / ∧ knewe that he now longe tyme had bene diseased / he sayde vnto him. Wilt thou be made whoale? The sicke answered him: ^note Syr I have no man wh&ebar; the water is troubled / to put me into the pole. But in the meane tyme / whill I am about to come / another steppeth doune before me.

B   And Iesus sayde vnto him: ryse / take vp thy beed / ∧ walke. And immediatly the man was made whole / and toke vp his beed / and went. And the same daye was the Saboth daye. ^noteThe Iewes therfore sayde vnto him that was made whole. It is þe; Saboth daye / it is not laufull for the to cary thy beed. He answered them: he that made me whole / sayde vnto me: take vp thy beed / and get the hence. Then axed they him: what man is that which sayde vnto the / take vp thy beed and walke. And he þt; was healed / wist not who it was. For Iesus had gott&ebar; him selfe awaye / be

cause þt; ther was preace of people in þe; place.

C   And after that / Iesus founde him in the t&ebar;ple / ∧ sayd vnto him: beholde thou arte made whole / synne no moore / lest a worsse thinge happ&ebar; vnto the. The man departed / ∧ tolde þe; Iewes that yt was Iesus / whiche had made him whole. &cross3; And therfore the Iewes dyd persecute Iesus ∧ sought the meanes to slee him / because he had done these thing&es; on the Saboth daye. And Iesus answered them: &cross2; my father worketh hidder to / and I worke. Therfore the Iewes sought the moare to kill him / not only because he had broken the Saboth: but sayde also that God was his father / and made him selfe equall with God.

D   Then answered Iesus ∧ sayde vnto them: verely / verely / I saye vnto you: the sonne can do no thinge of him selfe / but that he seeth þe; father do. For whatsoever he doeth / þt; doeth the sonne also. For the father loveth þe; sonne / ∧ sheweth him all thing&es; / whatsoever he him selfe doeth. And he will shewe him greter workes then these / because ye shoulde marvayle. For lykwyse as the father rayseth vp þe; deed / ∧ quickeneth them / even so the sonne quyckeneth whom he will. Nether iudgeth þe; father eny m&abar;: ^note but hath c&obar;mitted all iudgem&ebar;t vnto the sonne / because that all men shuld honoure the sonne / ev&ebar; as they honoure the father. He that honoureth not þe; sonne / the same honoureth not the father which hath sent him. Verely verely I saye vnto you: He that heareth my wordes / ^note ∧ beleveth on him that sent me /

hath everlastinge lyfe / ∧ shall not come into damnacion: but is scaped fr&obar; deth vnto lyfe.

D   Verely / verely I saye vnto you: the tyme shall come / ∧ now is / when the deed shall heare the voyce of the sonne of God. ^noteAnd they þt; heare / shall live. For as the father hath life in him silfe: so lyke wyse hath he geven to þe; sonne to have lyfe in him silfe: ∧ hath geven him power also to iudge / in that he is the sonne of man. Marvayle not at this / þe; houre shall come in the which all þt; are in the graves / shall heare his voice / and shall come forthe: they that have done good vnto the resurreccion of ^note lyfe: ∧ they that have done evyll / vnto the resurreccion of dampnacion. &cross3;

&cross2; I can of myne awne selfe do nothinge at all. As I heare / I iudge / and my iudgem&ebar;t is iust / because I seke not myne awne ^note will / but the will of þe; father which hath sent me. E   Yf I beare witnes of my selfe / my witnes is not true. Ther is a nother that beareth witnes of me / and I am sure that the witnes whiche he beareth of me / ^note is true.

Ye sent vnto Iohn / ∧ he bare witnes vnto the truthe. But I receave not the recorde of man. Neverthelesse / these thing&es; I saye / that ye might be safe. He was a burninge ∧ a shyninge light / ∧ ye wolde for a season have reioysed in his light. ^noteBut I have greater witnes then the witnes of Iohn. For þe; workes which þe; father hath gev&ebar; me to fynisshe: the same workes which I do / beare witnes of me / that þe; father sent me. And the father him silfe

which hath sent me / beareth witnes of me. Ye have not hearde his voyce at eny tyme / nor ye have sene his shape: therto his wordes have ye not abydinge in you. For whome he hath sent: him ye beleve not.

G   Searche the scriptures / for in them ye thinke ye have eternall lyfe: ^note ∧ they are they which testify of me. And yet will ye not come to me / that ye might have lyfe. I receave not prayse of men. But I knowe you / that ye have not the love of God in you / I am come in my fathers name / and ye receave me not. Yf another shall come in his awne name / him will ye receave. How can ye beleve which receave honoure ^note one of another / and seke not the honoure that commeth of God only?

Doo not thinke that I wyll accuse you to my father. Ther is one that accuseth you / ev&ebar; Moses in whom ye trust. ^noteFor had ye beleved Moses / ye wold have beleved me: for he wrote of me. But now ye beleve not his writinge: how shall ye beleve my wordes. &cross3; ¶ The .vi. Chapter. &cross2;

^noteAfter these thinges Iesus w&ebar;t his waye over the see of Galile nye to a cyte called Tiberias. A   And a greate multitude folowed him / because they had sene his myracles which he dyd on them that were diseased. And Iesus went vp into a mountayne / ∧ there he sate with his disciples. And ester / a feast of þe; Iewes / was nye. &cross3;&cross2; Then Iesus lifte vp his eyes / ∧ sawe a greate c&obar;pany come vnto him / and sayde vnto Philip: whence

shall we bye breed þt; these might eate. This he sayde to prove him: for he him sylfe knewe what he wolde do.

B   Philip answered him / two hondred peny worthe of breed are not sufficient for them / þt; every m&abar; have a litell. Then sayde vnto him / one of his disciples / Andrew Simon Peters brother. There ys a lad here / which hath fyve barly loves and two fisshes: ^note but what is that am&obar;ge so many? And Iesus sayde. Make the people sit doune: Ther was moche grasse in the place. And the men sate doune / in nombre / about five thousande. And Iesus toke the breed / and gave thankes / and gave to the disciples / and his disciples to them that were set doune. And lykwyse of the fysshes / as moche as they wolde.

When they had eat&ebar; ynough / he sayd vnto his disciples: gadder vp the brok&ebar; meate that remayneth: that nothinge be loost. And they gadered it to geder / and fylled twelve baskettes with the broken meate / of the five barly loves / which broken meate remayned vnto th&ebar; that had eaten. Then the men / when they had sene the myracle that Iesus dyd / sayde: This is of a trueth the Prophet that shuld come into the worlde. &cross3;

When Iesus perceaved that they wolde come / ^note and take him vp / to make him kinge / he departed agayne into a mountayne him silfe a lone.

C   And when ev&ebar; was come / his disciples w&ebar;t vnto the see ∧ entred into a shyppe / and went

over the see vnto Capernaum. And an&obar;ne it was darcke / ∧ Iesus was not come to them. And þe; see arose with a greate winde þt; blew. And when they had row&ebar; aboute a .xxv. or a xxx. furlong&es; / they sawe Iesus walke on þe; see / ∧ drawe nye vnto the shyp / and they were afrayed. And he sayde vnto them: It is I / be not a frayde. Then wolde they have receaved him into the shyp / and the ship was by ∧ by at the londe whyther they went.

The daye folowynge / the people which stode on the other syde of the see / sawe that ther was none other shyp theare / save þt; one wher in his disciples were entred / and that Iesus went not in with his disciples into the ship: D    but that his disciples were gone awaye alone. How be it / ther came other shippes from Tiberias nye vnto the place / where they ate breed / when the Lorde had blessed. Then wh&ebar; the people sawe that Iesus was not there nether his disciples / they also toke shippinge ∧ came to Caparnaum sekinge for Iesus.

And when they had founde him on þe; other syde of þe; see / they sayd vnto him: Rabbi / wh&ebar; camest thou hidder? Iesus answered them ∧ sayde: verely verely I saye vnto you: ye seke me / not because ye sawe the myracles: but because ye ate of the loves / ∧ were filled. &cross2; Laboure / not for þe; meate which perissheth / but for þe; meate that endureth vnto everlastynge lyfe / whiche meate þe; sonne of m&abar; shall geve vnto you. For him hath god þe; father ^note sealed.

Then sayd they vnto him: what shall we do

that we myght worke þe; workes of God? Iesus answered ∧ sayde vnto them. This is þe; worke of God / that ye beleve on him / wh&obar; he hath sent. They sayde vnto him: what signe shewest thou then / that we maye se ∧ beleve the? What doest thou worke? Oure fathers dyd eate Manna in the desert / as yt is writt&ebar;: He gave them breed fr&obar; heaven to eate. Iesus sayde vnto th&ebar;: verely verely I saye vnto you: Moses gave you breed fr&obar; heav&ebar;: ^note but my father geveth you the true breed fr&obar; heav&ebar;. For the breed of God is he which c&obar;meth doune from heav&ebar; and geveth lyfe vnto the worlde.

Then sayde they vnto him: Lorde / ever moore geve vs this breed. And Iesus sayde vnto them: I am that breed of life. ^noteHe that c&obar;meth to me / shall not honger: ∧ he that beleveth on me shall never thurst. &cross3; But I sayed vnto you: that ye have sene me / aud yet beleve not. All that the father geveth me / shall come to me: ∧ him þt; cometh to me / I cast not awaye. For I came doune fr&obar; heaven: not to do myne awne will / but his will which hath sent me. And this is the fathers will which hath sent me / that of all which he hath geven me / I shuld loose no thinge: but shuld rayse it vp agayne at the last daye. And this is the wyll of him þt; sent me: þt; every man which seith þe; sonne ∧ beleveth on him / have everlastinge lyfe. And I will rayse him vp at þe; last daye.

The Iewes then murmured at him / because he sayde: I am that breed which is come doune from heaven. And they sayde: Is not

this Iesus þe; sonne of Ioseph / whose father ∧ mother we knowe? How ys yt then that he sayeth / I came doune from heav&ebar;? Iesus answered ∧ sayde vnto them. ^noteMurmur not betwene youre selves. &cross2; No man can come to me except the father which hath sent me / drawe him. And I will rayse him vp at the last daye. It is written in the Prophetes / þt; they shall all be taught of God. Every man therfore that hath hearde and hath learned of the father commeth vnto me. ^noteNot that eny man hath sene þe; father / save he which is of God: the same hath sene the father.

Verely verely I saye vnto you / he that beleveth on me / hath everlastinge lyfe. I am that breed of lyfe. Youre fathers dyd eate M&abar;na in þe; wildernes ∧ are deed. This is that breed which c&obar;meth fr&obar; heav&ebar; / ^note þt; he which eateth of it / shuld also not dye. I am that lyvinge breed which came doune from heav&ebar;. Yf eny man eate of this breed / he shall live forever. And the breed that I will geve / is my flesshe / which I will geve for the lyfe of þe; worlde &cross3;

And the Iewes strove am&obar;ge them selves sayinge: How can this felowe geve vs his flesshe to eate? Then Iesus sayde vnto them: Verely / verely I saye vnto you / except ye eate þe; flesshe of þe; sonne of man / ∧ drinke his bloude / ye shall not have lyfe in you. Whosoever eateth my flesshe / ∧ drinketh my bloude / hath eternall lyfe: F   ∧ I will rayse him vp at the last daye. &cross2; For my flesshe is meate in dede: ∧ my bloude is drynke in dede. He that eateth my

flesshe ∧ drynketh my bloude / dwelleth in me ∧ I in him. As the lyvinge father hath sent me / even so lyve I by my father: and he that eateth me / shall live by me. This is the breed which cam from heav&ebar;: not as youre fathers have eaten Manna and are deed. He that eateth of this breed / shall live ever. &cross3;

G   These thinges sayd he in the synagoge as he taught in Capernaum. Many of his disciples / when they had herde this / sayde: this is an herde sayinge: who can abyde the hearinge of it? Iesus knew in him selfe / that his disciples murmured at it / and sayde vnto them: Doth this offende you? What ∧ yf ye shall se the sonne of man asc&ebar;de vp where he was before? It is the sprete that quyckeneth / the flesshe proffeteth nothinge. The wordes that I speake vnto you / are sprete and lyfe. But ther are some of you that beleve not. For Iesus knewe from the begynnynge / which they were that beleved not / and who shuld betraye him. And he sayde: Therfore sayde I vnto you: that no man can come vnto me / except it were geven vnto him of my father.

From that tyme many of his disciples w&ebar;t backe / and walked no moore with him. Then sayde Iesus to the twelve: will ye alsoo goo awaye? Then Simon Peter answered: Master to whom shall we goo? ^noteThou haste the wordes of eternall lyfe / and we beleve and knowe / þt; thou arte Christ the sonne of the lyvinge God. Iesus answered them: Have not I chosen you twelve / ∧ yet one of you is

the devyll? He spake it of Iudas Iscariot the sonne of Simon. For he it was þt; shuld betraye him / and was one of the twelve. &cross3; ¶ The .vii. Chapter. &cross2;

After that / Iesus w&ebar;t about in Galile ∧ wolde not go about in Iewry / for the Iewes sought to kill him. The Iewes tabernacle feast was at honde. His brethren therfore sayde vnto him: get þe; hence ∧ go into Iewry þt; thy disciples maye se thy workes þt; thou doest. C   For ther is no man þt; doeth eny thing secretly / and he him selfe seketh to be knowen. Yf thou do soche thinges / shewe thy selfe to the worlde. For as yet his brethr&ebar; beleved not in him.

Then Iesus sayd vnto them: My tyme is not yet come / youre tyme is all waye redy. The worlde c&abar;not hate you. Me it hateth: because I testify of it / that the workes of it are evyll. Go ye vp vnto this feast. I will not go vp yet vnto this feast / for my tyme is not yet full come. These wordes he sayde vnto them and abode still in Galile. But assone as his brethren were goone vp / then went he also vp vnto the feast: not openly but as it were prevely. Then sought him the Iewes at þe; feast / ∧ sayde: Where is he? And moche murmurynge was ther of him amonge the people. Some sayde: He is good. Wother sayde naye / but he deceaveth the people. How be it no m&abar; spake openly of him / for feare of the Iewes &cross3;

&cross2; In þe; middes of the feast / Iesus went vp into the temple and taught. And the Iewes

marveylled sayinge: How knoweth he þe; scriptures / seynge þt; he never learned? Iesus answered them / and sayde: My doctrine is not myne: but his that sent me. If eny man will do his ^note will / he shall knowe of the doctrine / whether it be of God / or whether I speake of my selfe. He that speaketh of him selfe / seketh his awne prayse. But he that seketh his prayse that sent him / the same is true / and no vnrightewesnes is in him.

Dyd not Moses geve you a lawe / ∧ yet none of you kepeth þe; lawe? Why goo ye aboute to kyll me? The people answered ∧ sayde: thou hast the devyll: who goeth aboute to kyll the? Iesus answered and sayde to them: I have done one worke / and ye all marvayle. Moses therfore gave vnto you circumcision: D    ^note not because it is of Moses / but of the fathers. And yet ye on the Saboth daye / ^note circumcise a man. If a man on the Saboth daye receave circumcision without breakinge of the lawe of Moses: disdayne ye at me / ^note because I have made a man every whit whoale on the saboth daye? Iudge not after the vtter aperaunce: but iudge rightewes iudgement.

Then sayd some of them of Ierusalem: Is not this he wh&obar; they goo aboute to kyll? Beholde he speaketh boldly / and they saye nothinge to him. Do the rulars knowe in dede / that this is very Christ? How be it we knowe this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh / no man shall knowe whence he is.

Then cryed Iesus in þe; temple as he taught

sayinge: ye knowe me / and whence I am ye knowe. And yet I am not come of my selfe / but he þt; sent me is true / whom ye knowe not. I knowe him: for I am of him / ∧ he hath sent me. Then they sought to take him: but no m&abar; layde hondes on him / because his tyme was not yet come. Many of the people beleved on him ∧ sayde: when Christ cometh / will he do moo miracles then this man hath done?

E   The pharises hearde that the people murmured suche thinges about him. Wherfore þe; pharises and hye prestes sent ministres forthe to take him. Then sayde Iesus vnto th&ebar;: Yet am I a lytell whyle with you / and then goo I vnto him that sent me. Ye shall seke me / and shall not fynde me: and where I am / thyther can ye not come. Then sayde the Iewes bitwene th&ebar; selves: whyther will he goo / that we shall not fynde him? Will he goo amonge the gentyls which are scattered all a broade / and teache the gentyls? What maner of sayinge is this that he sayde: ye shall seke me / and shall not fynde me: and where I am / thyther can ye not come?

F   In the last daye / that great daye of the feaste / Iesus stode and cryed sayinge: If eny man thyrst / let him come vnto me and drinke. He that beleveth on me / as sayeth the scripture / ^note out of his belly shall flowe ryvers of water of lyfe. This spak he of the sprete which they that beleved on him / shuld receave. &cross3; For the holy goost was not yet there / because that Iesus was not yet glorifyed.

&cross2; Many of the people / when they hearde this sayinge sayd: of a truth this is a prophet Other sayde: this is Christ. Some sayde: shall Christ come out of Galile? Sayeth not the scripture that Christ shall come of the seed of ^note David: ∧ out of the toune of Bethleem where David was? So was ther dissencion amonge the people aboute him. And some of them wolde have taken him: but no man layed hondes on him.

G   Then came þe; ministres to þe; hye prestes ∧ pharises. And they sayde vnto th&ebar;: why have ye not brought him? The serva&ubar;t&es; answered never man spake as this man doeth. Then answered th&ebar; the pharises: are ye also disceaved? ^noteDoth eny of the rulers or of the pharises beleve on him? But the comen people whiche knowe not þe; lawe / are cursed. Nicodemus sayde vnto them: He that came to Iesus by nyght / and was one of them. Doth oure lawe iudge eny man / before it heare him / ∧ knowe what he hath done? They answered ∧ sayde vnto him: arte thou also of Galile? Searche and loke / for out of Galile aryseth no Prophet. And every man went vnto his awne housse. &cross3; ¶ The .viii. Chapter. &cross2;

A   And Iesus went vnto mounte Olivete ∧ erly in þe; mornynge came agayne into þe; temple ∧ all the people came vnto him / ∧ he sate doune ∧ taught them. And the scribes ∧ þe; pharises brought vnto him a woman taken in advoutry / ∧ set hyr in the myddes and sayde vnto him: Master / this woman

was taken in advoutry / even as the dede was a doyng. Moses in the lawe c&obar;maunded vs þt; suche shuld be stoned. What sayest thou therfore? ^noteAnd this they sayde to tempt him: that they myght have / wherof to accuse him. Iesus stouped doune / ∧ with his fynger wrote on the grounde. And whyll they continued axynge him / he lyfte him selfe vp / ∧ sayde vnto them: let him þt; is am&obar;ge you &wt; out synne cast the fyrst stone at her. And agayne he stouped doune ∧ wrote on þe; grounde. And assone as they hearde that / ^note they went out one by one the eldest fyrst. And Iesus was lefte a lone / ∧ the woman stondynge in þe; myddes. When Iesus had lyfte vp him selfe agayne / and sawe no man but the woman / he sayde vnto hyr. Woman / where are those thyne accusars? Hath no man condempned the? She sayde: No man Lorde. And Iesus sayde: Nether do I condempne the. Goo / ∧ synne no moare. &cross3;

B   Then spake Iesus agayne vnto them sayinge: I am the light of the worlde. ^noteHe that foloweth me shall not walke in darcknes: but shall have the light of lyfe. The pharises sayde vnto him: thou bearest recorde of thy sylfe thy recorde is not true. Iesus answered ∧ sayde vnto them: Though I beare recorde of my selfe yet my recorde is true: for I knowe wh&ebar;ce I came ∧ whyther I goo. But ye cannot tell wh&ebar;ce I come / ∧ whyther I goo. Ye iudge after þe; flesshe. I iudge no man / though I iudge yet is my iudgm&ebar;t true. For I am not alone: but I ∧ the father that sent me. It is also written

in youre lawe / ^note that the testimony of two men is true. I am one þt; beare witnes of my selfe / and the father that sent me / beareth witnes of me. Then sayde they vnto him: where is thy father? Iesus answered: ye nether knowe me / nor yet my father. Yf ye had knowen me / ye shuld have knowen my father also. C   These wordes spake Iesus in the tresury / as he taught in the temple / ∧ no man layde hondes on him / for his tyme was not yet come. &cross3;

Then sayde Iesus agayne vnto them. &cross2; ^noteI goo my waye / ∧ ye shall seke me / ∧ shall dye in youre synnes. Whyther I goo / thyther can ye not come. Then sayde the Iewes: will he kyll him selfe / because he sayth: whyther I goo / thyther can ye not come? And he sayde vnto th&ebar;: ye are fr&obar; beneth / I am from above. Ye are of this worlde / I am not of this worlde. I sayde therfore vnto you / that ye shall dye in youre synnes. For except ye beleve that I am he / ye shall dye in youre synnes.

D   Then sayde they vnto him / who arte thou? And Iesus sayde vnto them: Even þe; very same thinge þt; I saye vnto you. I have many thinges to saye / ∧ to iudge of you. But he þt; sent me is true. And I speake in þe; worlde / those thing&es; which I have hearde of him. They understode not that he spake of his father.

Then sayde Iesus vnto them: when ye have lyft vp an hye the sonne of man / then shall ye knowe that I am he / and that I do nothinge of my selfe: but as my father hath taught me / even so I speake: and he that sent me / is

with me. The father hath not lefte me alone / for I do alwayes those thinges that please him. &cross3; As he spake these wordes / many beleved on him.

&cross2; Then sayde Iesus to those Iewes which beleved on him. If ye c&obar;tinue in my wordes / then are ye my very disciples / ∧ shall knowe the trueth: ∧ the trueth shall make you free. They answered him: We be Abrahams seede / and were never bonde to eny man: why sayest thou then / ye shalbe made fre.

^noteIesus answered them: verely verely I saye vnto you / that whosoever committeth synne / is the servaunt of synne. And the servaunt abydeth not in the housse for ever: But þe; sonne abydeth ever. If the sonne therfore shall make you fre / then are ye fre in dede. I knowe that ye are Abrahams seed: But ye seke meanes to kyll me / because my sayinges have no place in you. I speake that I have sene with my father: and ye do that which ye have sene with youre father.

They answered and sayde vnto him: Abraham is oure father. E   Iesus sayde vnto them. If ye were Abrahams chyldren / ye wolde do the dedes of Abraham. But now ye goo about io kyll me a man that have tolde you the truthe / which I have herde of god: this dyd not Abraham. ^noteYe do the dedes of youre father. Then sayde they vnto him: we were not borne of fornicacion. We have one father / which is God. Iesus sayde vnto them: yf God were youre father / then wolde ye love me. For I

proceaded forthe and come from God. Nether came I of my selfe / but he sent me. Why do ye not knowe my speache? Even because ye cannot abyde the hearynge of my wordes.

F   Ye are of youre father the devyll / and the lustes of youre father ye will folowe. He was a murtherer from the beginnynge / and aboode not in the trueth / ^note because ther is no trueth in him. When he speaketh a lye / then speaketh he of his awne. ^noteFor he is a lyar / and the father therof. And because I tell you þe; trueth / therfore ye beleve me not.

&cross2; Which of you can rebuke me of synne? If I saye þe; trueth / why do not ye beleve me? He that is of God / heareth goddes wordes &cross3; Ye therfore heare them not / because ye are not of God.

Then answered the Iewes and sayde vnto him: Saye we not well that thou arte a Samaritane / and hast the devyll? ^noteIesus answered: I have not the devyll: but I honour my father / and ye have dishonoured me. I seke not myne awne prayse: but ther is one that seketh and iudgeth.

G   Verely verely I saye vnto you / yf a man kepe my sayinges / he shall never se deeth. Then sayde the Iewes to him: Now knowe we that thou hast the devyll. Abrah&abar; is deed / and also the Prophetes: and yet thou sayest / yf a man kepe my sayinge / he shall never tast of deeth. Arte thou greater then oure father Abraham which is deed? and the Prophetes are deed. Whome makest thou thy selfe?

Iesus answered: Yf I honoure my selfe / myne honoure is nothinge worth. It is my father that honoureth me / which ye saye / is youre God / ∧ ye have not knowen him: but I knowe him. And yf I shuld saye / I knowe him not / I shuld be a lyar lyke vnto you. But I knowe him / and kepe his sayinge.

Youre father Abraham was glad to se my daye / ∧ he sawe it ∧ reioysed. Then sayde the Iewes vnto him: thou arte not yet.l. yere olde / and hast thou sene Abraham? Iesus sayd vnto them: Verely verely I saye vnto you: yer Abraham was / I am. Then toke they vp stones / to caste at him. But Iesus hid him selfe / ∧ went out of þe; temple. &cross3; ¶ The .ix. Cha. &cross2;

A   And as Iesus passed by / he sawe a man which was blynde from his birth. And his disciples axed him sayinge. Master / who dyd synne: this man or his father ∧ mother / that he was borne blynde? Iesus answered: Nether hath this man synned / nor yet his father and mother: but that the workes of God shuld be shewed on him. I must worke the workes of him that sent me / whyll it is daye. The ^note nyght cometh when no man can worke. As longe as I am in the worlde / I am the lyght of the worlde.

Assone as he had thus spoken / he spate on the grounde ∧ made claye of the spetle / B   ∧ rubbed the claye on the eyes of the blynde / ∧ sayde vnto him: ^note Goo wesshe the in þe; pole of Syloe / which by interpretacion / signifieth sent. He went his waye and wasshed / ∧ cam agayne

seinge. The neghboures and they that had sene him before how that he was a begger / sayde: is not this he that sate ∧ begged? Some sayde: this is he. Other sayd: he is lyke him. But he him selfe sayde: I am even he. They sayde vnto him: How are thyne eyes opened then? He answered ∧ sayde. The m&abar; that is called Iesus / made claye / and anoynted myne eyes / and sayd vnto me: Goo to the pole Syloe and wesshe. I went and wesshed ∧ receaved my syght. They sayde vnto him: where is he? He sayde: I cannot tell.

C   Then brought they to þe; pharises / him that a lytell before was blynde: for it was the Saboth daye when Iesus made the claye ∧ opened his eyes. Then agayne the pharises also axed him how he had receaved his syght. He sayde vnto th&ebar;: ^note He put claye apon myne eyes and I wasshed / ∧ do se. Then sayde some of the pharises: this man is not of God / because he kepeth not the saboth daye. Other sayde: how can a man þt; is a synner / do suche myracles? And ther was stryfe amonge th&ebar;. Then spake they vnto the blynde agayne: What sayst thou of him / because he hath openned thyne eyes? And he sayd: He is a Prophet.

D   But the Iewes dyd not beleve of the felowe / how that he was blynde ∧ receaved his syght / vntyll they had called the father and mother of him that had receaved his syght. And they axed th&ebar; saying: Is this youre sonne / whome ye saye was borne blynde? How doth he now se then? His father ∧ mother answered

them ∧ sayde: we wote well that this is oure sonne / and that he was borne blynde: but by what meanes he now seith / that can we not tell / or who hath opened his eyes / can we not tell. He is olde ynough / axe him / let him answer for him selfe. E   Suche wordes spake his father and mother / because they feared the Iewes. For the Iewes had conspyred all redy that yf eny man dyd confesse that he was Christ / he shuld be excommunicat out of the synagoge. Therefore sayde his father and mother: he is olde ynough / axe him.

Then agayne called they the man that was blynde / and sayd vnto him: Geve God the prayse: we knowe that this man is a synner. He answered and sayde: Whyther he be a synner or noo / I cannot tell: One thinge I am sure of / that I was blynde / ∧ now I se. Then sayde they to him agayne. What dyd he to the? How opened he thyne eyes? He answered them / I tolde you yerwhyle / and ye dyd not heare. Wherfore wolde ye heare it agayne? Will ye also be his disciples? Then rated they him / and sayde: Thou arte his disciple. We be Moses disciples. We are sure that God spake with Moses. This felowe we knowe not from whence he is.

F   The man answered and sayde vnto them: this is a merveleous thinge that ye wote not whence he is / seinge he hath opened myne eyes. For we be sure that God heareth not synners. But yf eny man be a worshipper of God ∧ do his will / him heareth he. Sence þe;

worlde beganne was it not hearde þt; eny man opened the eyes of one that was borne blynd. If this man were not of God / he coulde have done no thinge. They answered and sayd vnto him: thou arte altogeder borne in synne: ∧ dost thou teache vs? And they cast him out.

Iesus hearde that they had excommunicate him: and assone as he had founde him / he sayd vnto him: doest thou beleve on the sonne of God? He answered and sayde: Who is it Lorde / that I myght beleve on him? And Iesus sayde vnto him: Thou hast sene him / ∧ he it is that talketh with the. And he sayde: Lorde I beleve: ∧ worshipped him. &cross3; Iesus sayde: I am come vnto iudgement into this worlde: that they which se not / myght se / and they which se / myght be made blynde. And some of the pharises which were with him / hearde these wordes ∧ sayde vnto him: are we then blynde? Iesus sayde vnto them: yf ye were blynde / ye shuld have no synne. But now ye saye / we se / therfore youre synne remayneth. ¶ The .x. Chapter. &cross2;

Verely verely I saye vnto you: he that entreth not in by þe; dore / ^note into the shepefolde / but clymeth vp some other waye: the same is a thefe ∧ a robber. A   He that goeth in by þe; dore / is the shepeherde of þe; shepe: to him the porter openeth / and the shepe heare his voyce / ∧ he calleth his awne shepe by name / and leadeth them out. And when he hath sent forthe his awne shepe / he goeth before them / and the shepe folowe him: for they

knowe his voyce. A straunger they will not folowe / but will flye from him: for they knowe not the voyce of straungers. This similitude spake Iesus vnto them. But they vnderstode not what thinges they were which he spake vnto them.

B   Then sayde Iesus vnto them agayne. Verely verely I saye vnto you: I am the dore of the shepe. All / even as many as came before me / are theves and robbers: but the shepe dyd not heare them. ^noteI am the dore: by me yf eny man enter in / he shalbe safe / and shall goo in and out and fynde pasture. The thefe cometh not but forto steale / kyll and destroye. I am come that they myght have lyfe / and have it more aboundantly. &cross3;

C    ^note&cross2; I am þe; good shepeheerd. The good shepeheerd geveth his lyfe for þe; shepe. An heyred serva&ubar;t / which is not þe; shepeherd / nether þe; shepe are his awne / seith the wolfe c&obar;mynge / ∧ leveth the shepe / ∧ flyeth / and the wolfe catcheth them / ∧ scattereth þe; shepe. The heyred serva&ubar;t flyeth / because he is an heyred servaunt / and careth not for the shepe. I am that good shepeheerd / ∧ knowe myne / ∧ am know&ebar; of myne. As my father knoweth me: even so knowe I my father. ^noteAnd I geve my lyfe for the shepe: and other shepe I have / which are not of this folde. Them also must I bringe / that they maye heare my voyce / and that ther maye be one flocke and one shepeherde.

D   Therfore doth my father love me / because I put my lyfe from me / that I myght take it

agayne. No man taketh it from me: but I put it awaye of my selfe. I have power to put it from me / and have power to take it agayne: This c&obar;maundment have I receaved of my father. And ther was a dissencion agayne am&obar;ge the Iewes for these sayinges / and many of them sayd. He hath the devyll / and is mad: why heare ye him? Other sayde / these are not the wordes of him that hath the devyll. Can the devyll open the eyes of the blynde?

&cross2; And it was at Ierusalem þe; feaste of the dedicacion / ∧ it was wynter: and Iesus walked in Salomons porche. E   Then came the Iewes rounde aboute him / and sayde vnto him: How longe dost thou make vs doute? Yf thou be Christ / tell vs playnly. ^noteIesus answered them: I tolde you and ye beleve not. The workes þt; I do in my fathers name they beare witnes of me. But ye beleve not / because ye are not of my shepe. As I sayde vnto you: my shepe heare my voyce / ∧ I knowe them / ∧ they folowe me / ∧ I geve vnto th&ebar; eternall lyfe / ∧ they shall never perisshe / nether shall eny man plucke th&ebar; oute of my honde. My father which gave th&ebar; me / is greatter then all / and no man is able to take them out of my fathers honde. And I and my father are one.

F   Then the Iewes agayne toke up stones / to stone him with all. Iesus answered them: many good workes have I shewed you from my father: for which of them will ye stone me? The Iewes answered him sayinge. For thy good workes sake we stone þe; not: but for thy

blasphemy / ^note and because that thou beinge a man / makest thy selfe God. Iesus answered them: Is it not written in youre lawe: I saye / ye are goddes? G   If he called th&ebar; goddes vnto whom the worde of God was spoken (∧ the ^note scripture can not be broken) saye ye then to him / whom the father hath sainctified / ∧ sent into the worlde / thou blasphemest / because I sayd I am the sonne of God? If I do not the workes of my father / beleve me not. But if I do though ye beleve not me / yet beleve the workes / that ye maye knowe and beleve that the father is in me / and I in him. &cross3;

Agayne they went aboute to take him: but he escaped out of their hondes / ∧ went awaye agayne beyonde Iordan / into the place where Iohn before had baptised / and there aboode. And many resorted vnto him / and sayd. Iohn dyd no miracle: but all thinges that Iohn spake of this man are true. And many beleved on him theare. ¶ The .xi. Chap. &cross2;

A certayne man was sicke / named Lazarus of Bethania the toune of Mary ∧ her sister Martha. It was that Mary which annoynted Iesus with oyntment / and wyped his fete with her heere / ^note whose brother Lazarus was sicke / and his sisters sent vnto him sayinge. Lorde behold / he whom thou lovest / is sicke. When Iesus hearde þt; / he sayd: this infirmite is not vnto deth / but for þe; laude of God / that the sonne of God myght be praysed by the reason of it. Iesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. After he hearde

/ that he was sicke / then aboode he two dayes still in the same place where he was.

B   Then after that sayd he to his disciples: let us goo into Iewry agayne. His disciples sayde vnto him. Master / the Iewes lately sought meanes to stone the / ∧ wilt thou goo thyther agayne? Iesus answered: are ther not twelve houres in þe; daye? Yf a man walke in þe; daye / he stombleth not / because he seith the lyght of this worlde. But yf a m&abar; walke in þe; nyght / he stombleth / because ther is no lyght in him. This sayde he / ∧ after þt; / he sayde vnto th&ebar;: oure frende Lazarus slepeth / but I goo to wake him out of slepe. Then sayde his disciples: Lorde yf he slepe / he shall do well ynough. How be it Iesus spake of his deeth: but they thought þt; he had spok&ebar; of þe; naturall slepe. Then sayde Iesus vnto th&ebar; playnly / Lazarus is deed / ∧ I am glad for youre sakes / þt; I was not there / because ye maye beleve. Neverthelesse let vs go vnto him. Then sayde Thomas which is called Dydimus / vnto þe; disciples: let vs also goo / that we maye dye &wt; him

C   Then went Iesus / and founde / that he had lyne in his grave foure dayes already. Bethanie was nye vnto Ierusalem / aboute. xv. furlonges of / and many of the Iewes were come to Martha and Mary / to comforte them over their brother. Martha assone as she hearde þt; Iesus was comynge / went and met him: but Mary sate still in the housse.

&cross2; Then sayde Martha vnto Iesus: Lorde yf thou haddest bene here / my brother had not

bene deed: but neverthelesse / I knowe that whatsoever thou axest of God / God will geve it the. Iesus sayde vnto her: Thy brother shall ryse agayne. Martha sayde vnto him: I knowe that he shall ryse agayne in the resurreccion at the last daye. Iesus sayde vnto her: I am the resurreccion ∧ the lyfe: He that beleveth on me / ye though he were deed / yet shall he lyve. And whosoever lyveth and belevest on me / shall never dye. Beleveth thou this? She sayde vnto him: ye Lorde / I beleve that thou arte Christ the sonne of god which shuld come into the worlde. &cross3;

And assone as she had so sayde / she went her waye and called Marie her sister secretly sayinge: D   The master is come ∧ calleth for the And she assone as she hearde that / arose quickly / and came vnto him. Iesus was not yet come into the toune: but was in the place where Martha met him. The Iewes then which were with her in the housse and comforted her / when they sawe Mary that she rose vp hastely / and went out / folowed her / saying: She goeth vnto the grave / to wepe there.

Then when Mary was come where Iesus was / ∧ sawe him / she fell doune at his fete / sayinge vnto him: Lorde yf thou haddest bene here / my brother had not bene deed. When Iesus sawe her wepe / ∧ þe; Iewes also wepe / which came &wt; her / he groned in þe; sprete / ∧ was troubled in him selfe ∧ sayde: Where have ye layed him? They sayde vnto him: Lorde come ∧ se. And Iesus wept. Then sayde

the Iewes: Beholde howe he loved him. And some of th&ebar; sayde: coulde not he which openned the eyes of the blynde / have made also / that this man shuld not have dyed? Iesus agayne groned in him selfe / ∧ came to the grave. It was a caue / ∧ a stone layde on it.

And Iesus sayd: take ye awaye the stone. Martha the sister of him that was deed / sayd vnto him: Lorde by this tyme he stinketh. For he hath bene deed foure dayes: Iesus sayde vnto her: Sayde I not vnto the / þt; if thou didest beleve / thou shuldest se þe; glory of God. Then they toke awaye þe; stone from þe; place where the deed was layde. And Iesus lyfte vp his eyes ∧ sayde: Father I thanke the because that thou hast hearde me. I wot that thou hearest me all wayes: but because of the people that stonde by I sayde it / þt; they maye beleve / that thou hast sent me.

F   And when he thus had spoken / he cryed &wt; a loud voyce. Lazarus come forthe. And he that was deed / came forth / bounde hand ∧ fote with grave bondes / ∧ his face was bounde with a napkin. Iesus sayde vnto th&ebar;: loowse him / and let him goo. Then many of the Iewes which came to Mary / ∧ had sene the thinges which Iesus dyd / beleved on him. But some of them went their wayes to the Pharises / ∧ tolde them what Iesus had done.

Then gadered the hye prestes ∧ the Pharises a counsell ∧ sayde: what do we? This m&abar; doeth many miracles. Yf we let him scape thus / all men will beleve on him / ∧ þe; Romaynes

shall come ∧ take awaye oure countre ∧ the people. And one of them named Cayphas which was the hieprest þt; same yeare / sayde vnto them: Ye perceave nothinge at all nor yet consider that it is expedient for vs / that one man dye for the people / ∧ not that all the people perisshe. This spake he not of him selfe / but beinge hye preste that same yeare / he prophesied that Iesus shulde dye for the people / and not for the people only / but that he shuld gader to geder in one the chyldren of God which were scattered abroode. From that daye forth they held a counsell to geder / for to put him to deeth.

Iesus therfore walked no more op&ebar;ly am&obar;ge the Iewes: but w&ebar;t his waye thence vnto a co&ubar;tre nye to a wildernes / into a cite called Ephraim / ∧ there ha&ubar;ted with his disciples. And the Iewes ester was nye at hand / ∧ many went out of the countre vp to Ierusalem before the ester / to purify them selves. Then sought they for Iesus / and spake bitwene th&ebar; selves as they stode in the t&ebar;ple: What thinke ye / seynge he c&obar;meth not to the feast. The hye prestes ∧ Pharises had geven a c&obar;maundem&ebar;t / that yf eny man knew where he were / he shuld shewe it / that they myght take him. ¶ The .xii. Chapter. &cross2;

A   Then Iesus sixe dayes before ester / came to Bethany where Lazarus was / ^note which was deed ∧ wh&obar; Iesus raysed from deeth. There they made him a supper / and Martha served: But Lazarus was one of

them that sate at the table with him. Then toke Mary a pounde of oyntm&ebar;t called Nardus / perfecte and precious / ∧ anoynted Iesus fete / and wipt his fete with her heer / and the ^note housse was filled of the savre of the oyntm&ebar;t. Then sayde one of his disciples name Iudas Iscariot Sim&obar;s sonne / which afterwarde betrayed him: why was not this oyntm&ebar;t solde for thre hondred pence / and gev&ebar; to the poore? This sayde he / not that he cared for the pooer: but because he was a thefe / ∧ kept the bagge / and bare that which was geven. Then sayde Iesus: Let her alone / agaynst the daye of my buryinge she kept it. The poore all wayes shall ye have with you / but me shall ye not all wayes have.

B   Moche people of the Iewes had knowledge that he was there. And they came not for Iesus sake only / but þt; they myght se Lazarus also whom he raysed from deeth. The hye prestes therfore held a counsell that they myght put Lazarus to deeth also / because that for his sake many of the Iewes went awaye / and beleved on Iesus.

On the morowe / moche people that were come to the feast / when they hearde þt; Iesus shuld come to Ierusalem / toke braunches of palme trees and went and met him / ∧ cryed: Hosanna / ^note blessed is he that in the name of the Lorde / commeth kynge of Israel. And Iesus got a yonge asse and sate ther&obar; / ^note accordinge to that which was writt&ebar;: C   feare not doughter of Si&obar; / beholde thy kynge c&obar;meth sittinge on an

asses coolte. These thinges vnderstode not his disciples at þe; fyrst: but when Iesus was gloryfied / then remembryd they that soche thinges were written of him / and that soche thinges they had done vnto him.

The people that was with him / when he called Lazarus out of his grave / ∧ raysed him from deeth / bare recorde. Therfore met him the people / be cause they hearde þt; he had done soche a myracle. The Pharises therfore sayde amonge them selves: perceave ye how we prevayle no thinge? beholde the worlde goth awaye after him.

Ther were certayne Grekes am&obar;ge them / that came to praye at the feast: the same cam to Philip which was of Bethsayda a cyte in Galile / ∧ desired him sayinge: Syr we wolde fayne se Iesus. Philip came ∧ tolde Andrew. And agayne Andrew ∧ Philip tolde Iesus. And Iesus answered them sayinge: the houre is come þt; the sonne of m&abar; must be glorified.

D   &cross2; Verely verely I saye vnto you / except þe; wheate corne fall into the grounde and dye / it bydeth alone. ^noteYf it dye / it brengeth forth moche frute. He that loveth his lyfe shall destroye it: ∧ he þt; hateth his lyfe in this worlde shall kepe it vnto lyfe eternall. If eny man mynister vnto me / let him folowe me / ∧ where I am there shall also my minister be. And yf eny man minister vnto me / ^note him will my father honoure. &cross3;

Now is my soule troubled / ∧ what shall I saye? Father delyver me from this houre: but

therfore came I vnto this houre. Father glorify thy name. Then came ther a voyce fr&obar; heaven: I have glorified it / ∧ will glorify it agayne. Then sayd the people þt; stode by ∧ hearde: it thoundreth. Other sayde an angell spake to him. Iesus answered and sayde: this voyce cam not because of me / but for youre sakes.

E   &cross2; Now is the iudgement of this worlde: now shall þe; prince of this worlde be cast out. And I / yf I were lifte vp from the erthe / will drawe all men vnto me. ^noteThis sayde Iesus / signifyinge what deeth he shuld dye. The people answered him: We have hearde of þe; lawe þt; Christ bydeth ever: ∧ how sayest thou then that the sonne of man must be lifte vp? who is þt; sonne of m&abar;? Then Iesus sayde vnto them: yet a lytell whyle is the light &wt; you. ^noteWalke whill ye have light / lest the darcknes come on you. He that walketh in the darke / wotteth not whither he goeth. Whyll ye have light / beleve on the light / that ye maye be the chyldren of light. &cross3;

F    ^noteThese thinges spake Iesus and departed / ∧ hyd him silfe fr&obar; them. And though he had done so many myracles before them / yet beleved not they on him / þt; the sayinge of Esayas the Prophet myght be fulfilled / þt; he spake. Lorde who shall beleve oure sayinge? And to whom ys the arme of þe; Lorde opened? Therfore coulde they not beleve / because þt; Esaias sayth agayne: he hath blinded their eyes and hardened their hertes / that they shuld not se with their eyes ∧ vnderstonde with their hertes

/ ∧ shuld be converted / ∧ I shuld heale th&ebar;. Soche thinges sayde Esaias when he sawe his glory ∧ spake of him. Neverthelesse am&obar;ge þe; chefe rulers many beleved on him. But because of the pharises they wolde not be a knowen of it / lest they shuld be excommunicate. For they loved the prayse þt; is geven of men / G    more then the prayse that c&obar;meth of God.

And Iesus cryed ∧ sayde: he that beleveth on me / beleveth not on me / but on him þt; sent me. And he that seeth me / seeth him that sent me. &cross2; ^noteI am come a light into the worlde / that whosoever beleveth on me / shuld not byde in darcknes. And yf eny man heare my wordes ∧ beleve not / I iudge him not. For I came not to iudge the worlde: but to save þe; worlde. He that refuseth me ∧ receaveth not my wordes / hath one that iudgeth him. The wordes that I have spoken / they shall iudge him in þe; last daye. For I have not spoken of my selfe: but the father which sent me / he gave me a commaundem&ebar;t what I shuld saye / and what I shuld speake. And I knowe that this c&obar;maundement is lyfe everlastinge. Whatsoever I speake therfore / ev&ebar; as the father bade me / so I speake. &cross3; ¶ The .xiii. Chapter. &cross2;

A   Before the feast of ester wh&ebar; Iesus knewe that his houre was come / that he shuld departe out of this worlde vnto ^note the father. When he loved his which were in the worlde / vnto the ende he loved th&ebar;. And when supper was ended / after that the devyll had put in the hert of Iudas Iscariot Sim&obar;s

sonne / to betraye him: Iesus knowinge that the father had gev&ebar; all thinges into his hondes. And that he was come from God and went to God / he rose from supper / and layde a syde his vpper garmentes / ∧ toke a towell / ^note and gyrd him selfe. After that poured he water into a basyn / and beganne to wash his disciples fete / ∧ to wype them with the towell / wherwith he was gyrde.

Then came he to Simon Peter. And Peter sayde to him: Lorde shalt thou wesshe my fete? Iesus answered ∧ sayde vnto him: what I do / thou wotest not now / but thou shalt knowe herafter. Peter sayd vnto him: thou shalt not wesshe my fete whill þe; worlde stondeth. B   Iesus answered him: yf I wasshe þe; not / thou shalt have no part with me. Simon Peter sayde vnto him: Lorde / not my fete only: but also my handes ∧ my heed. Iesus sayde to him: he that is wesshed / nedeth not save to wesshe his fete / ∧ is clene every whit. And ye are clene: but not all. For he knewe his betrayer. Therfore sayde he: ye are not all clene.

After he had wesshed their fete / ∧ receaved his clothes / ∧ was set doune agayne / he sayde vnto them? wot ye what I have done to you? ^noteYe call me master ∧ Lorde / ∧ ye saye well / for so am I. If I then youre Lorde and master have wesshed youre fete / ye also ought to wesshe one anothers fete. For I have geven you an ensample / that ye shuld do as I have done to you. Verely verely I saye vnto you / the servaunt is not greater then his master / nether

the messenger greater then he that sent him.

C   If ye vnderstonde these thing&es; / happy are ye yf ye do them. I speake not of you all / I knowe whom I have chosen. But that þe; scripture be fulfilled: ^note he that eateth breed &wt; me / hath lyfte vp his hele agaynste me. Now tell I you before it come: that when it is come to passe / ye might beleve that I am he. Verely verely I saye vnto you. ^noteHe that receaveth wh&obar; soever I sende / receaveth me. And he that receaveth me / receaveth him that sent me.

When Iesus had thus sayd / he was troubled in the sprete / ∧ testified sayinge: verely verely I saye vnto you / that one of you shall betraye me. ^noteAnd then the disciples loked one on another doutinge of wh&obar; he spake. Ther was one of his disciples / which leaned on Iesus bosome / whom Iesus loved. To him beckened Sim&obar; Peter that he shuld axe who it was of whom he spake. He then as he leaned on Iesus brest / sayde vnto him: Lorde who ys it? Iesus answered / he yt ys to whom I geve a soppe / when I have dept it. And he wet a soppe / and gave it to Iudas Iscarioth Simons sonne. And after the soppe / Satan entred into him.

D   Then sayd Iesus vnto him: that thou dost / do quickly. That wist no m&abar; at the table / for what intent he spake vnto him. Some of th&ebar; thought / because Iudas had the bagge / that Iesus had sayd vnto him / bye those thinges that we have nede af agaynst þe; feast: or that he shulde geve some thinge to the poore. Assone

then as he had receaved the soppe / he w&ebar;t immediatly out. And it was night. Wh&ebar; he was gone out / Iesus sayde: now is the sonne of man glorified. And God is glorified by him. Yf God be glorified by him / God shall also glorify him / in him selfe: ∧ shall strayght waye glorify him.

&cross2; Deare chyldren / yet a lytell whyle am I with you. D   Ye shall seke me / ∧ as I sayde vnto the Iewes / whither I goo / thither can ye not come. Also to you saye I nowe. A newe commaundment geve I vnto you / ^note that ye love to gedder / as I have loved you / that even so ye love one another. By this ^note shall all m&ebar; knowe þt; ye are my disciples / yf ye shall have love one to another. Simon Peter sayd vnto him: Lorde whither goest thou? Iesus answered him: whither I goo thou canst not folowe me now / but thou shalt folowe me afterwardes. Peter sayd vnto him: Lorde / why c&abar;not I folowe the now? I will geve my lyfe for thy sake? Iesus answered him: wilt thou geve thy lyfe for my sake? Verely verely I saye vnto the / the cocke shall not crowe / tyll thou have denyed me thryse. ¶ The .xiiii. Chapter. &cross2;

And he sayd vnto his disciples: Let not youre hert&es; be troubled. Beleve in god ∧ beleve in me. In my fathers housse are many mansions. If it were not so / I wolde have tolde you. I go to prepare a place for you. And yf I go to prepare a place for you / I will come agayne / ∧ receave you ev&ebar; vnto my

selfe / þt; where I am / there maye ye be also. And whither I go ye knowe / ∧ þe; waye ye knowe.

Thomas sayde vnto him: Lorde we knowe not whyther thou goest. Also how is it possible for vs to knowe the waye? Iesus sayd vnto him: I am þe; waye / þe; truthe ∧ þe; life. And no man c&obar;meth vnto the father / but by me. Yf ye had know&ebar; me / ye had know&ebar; my father also. And now ye knowe him / ∧ have sene him.

Philip sayd vnto him: Lorde shew vs the father / and it suffiseth vs. Iesus sayde vnto him: have I bene so longe tyme &wt; you: ∧ yet hast thou not knowen me? Philip / he þt; hath sene me / hath sene þe; father. B   And how sayest thou then: shew vs the father? Belevest thou not that I am in þe; father / ∧ the father in me? The wordes that I speake vnto you / I speakee not of my selfe: but þe; father that dwelleth in me / is he that doeth þe; workes. Beleve me / that I am the father ∧ þe; father in me. At the leest beleve me for the very workes sake.

Verely verely I saye vnto you: he that beleveth on me / the workes that I doo / the same shall he do / ∧ greater workes then these shall he do / because I go vnto my father. ^noteAnd what soever ye axe in my name / þt; will I do / þt; the father might be glorified by the sonne. Yf ye shall axe eny th&ibar;ge in my name / I will do it &cross3;

&cross2; If ye love me kepe my ^note c&obar;maundementes / ∧ I will praye the father / ∧ he shall geve you a nother comforter / þt; he maye byde with you ever / which is the sprete of truthe whome the worlde c&abar;not receave / because the worlde

seyth him not / nether knoweth him. But ye knowe him. For he dwelleth with you / and shalbe in you. I will not leave you comfortlesse: but will come vnto you.

C   Yet a litell whyle and the worlde seith me no moare: but ye shall se me. For I live / ∧ ye shall live. That daye shall ye knowe that I am in my father / ∧ you in me / ∧ I in you.

^noteHe that hath my c&obar;maundem&ebar;tes ∧ kepeth them / the same is he that loveth me. And he þt; loveth me / shall be loved of my father: ∧ I will love him / and will shewe myne awne selfe vnto him. Iudas sayde vnto him (not Iudas Iscarioth) Lorde what is the cause that thou wilt shewe thy selfe vnto vs / ∧ not vnto the worlde? Iesus answered and sayde vnto him: yf a man love me and wyll kepe my sayinges / my father also will love him / ∧ we will come vnto him / and will dwelle with him. ^noteHe that loveth me not / kepeth not my sayinges. And the wordes which ye heare / are not myne / but the fathers which sent me.

D   This have I spoken vnto you beynge yet present with you. But that c&obar;forter which is the holy gost (whom my father will sende in my name) he shall teache you all thing&es; / and bringe all thinges to youre remembraunce whatsoever I have tolde you.

^notePeace I leve with you / my peace I geve vnto you. Not as the worlde geveth / geve I vnto you. Let not youre hertes be greved / nether feare ye. Ye have hearde how I sayde vnto you: I go ∧ come agayne vnto you. If ye loved

me / ye wolde verely reioyce / because I sayde / I go vnto þe; father. For þe; father is greater then I. And now have I shewed you / before it come / þt; wh&ebar; it is come to passe / ye might beleve.

Here after will I not talke many mordes vnto you. For the rular of this worlde commeth / ∧ hath nought in me. But that the worlde maye knowe that I love the father: therfore as the father gave me c&obar;maundment / even so do I. &cross3; Ryse let vs go hence. ¶ The .xv. Chapter. &cross2;

I am the true vyne / and my father ys an husbande man. A   Every braunche that beareth not frute in me / he will take awaye. ^noteAnd every braunche that beareth frute / will he pourge / þt; it maye bringe moare frute. Now are ye cleane thorow þe; wordes which I have spok&ebar; vnto you. Byde in me / ∧ let me byde in you. As þe; braunche c&abar;not beare frute of it sylfe / excepte it byde in the vyne: no more can ye / excepte ye abyde in me.

I am the vyne / ∧ ye are the braunches. He that abydeth in me / ∧ I in him / the same bringeth forth moche frute. For with out me can ye do nothinge. Yf a man byde not in me / he ys cast forthe as a braunche / ^note ∧ is wyddered: ∧ men gadder it / and cast it into the fyre / and it burneth. Yf ye byde in me / and my wordes also byde in you: axe what ye will / ∧ it shalbe done to you &cross3;. ^noteHeare in is my father glorified / that ye beare moche frute / and be made my disciples.

As the father hath loved me / ev&ebar; so have I

leved you. B   Continue in my love. Yf ye shall kepe ^note my c&obar;ma&ubar;dem&ebar;tes / ye shall byde in my love / ev&ebar; as I have kept my fathers c&obar;maundementes / ∧ byde in his love. These thinges have I spoken vnto you / þt; my ioye myght remayne in you / ∧ that youre ioye might be full.

&cross2; This is my commaundement / that ye love togedder as I have loved you. Gretter love then this hath no man / then that a man bestowe his lyfe for his frendes. Ye are my fr&ebar;des / yf ye do whatsoever I commaunde you. Hence forth call I you not servauntes: for the servaunt knoweth not what his Lorde doeth. But you have I called frendes: for all thinges that I have hearde of my father / I have opened to you.

Ye have not chosen me / but I have chosen you ∧ ordeyned you / that ye go ∧ bringe forthe frute / ∧ that youre frute remayne / that whatsoever ye shall axe of the father in my name / he shulde geve it you. &cross3;

C   &cross2; This c&obar;maunde I you / that ye love to gedder. Yf þe; worlde hate you / ye knowe that he hated me before he hated you. ^noteYf ye were of the worlde / þe; worlde wolde love his awne. How be it because ye are not of þe; worlde / but I have chosen you out of the worlde / therfore hateth you the worlde. Remember the sayinge that I sayde vnto you: the serva&ubar;te is not greater then his lorde. Yf they have persecuted me / ^note so will they persecute you Yf they have kept my sayinge / so will they kepe youres.

But all these thing&es; will they do vnto you

for my names sake / because they have not knowen him that sent me. If I had not come and spoken vnto them / they shulde not have had synne: but now have they nothinge to cloke their synne with all. He that hateth me / hateth my father. If I had not done workes am&obar;ge th&ebar; which none other m&abar; dyd / they had not had synne. But now have they sene / ∧ yet have hated bothe me ∧ my father: ev&ebar; that the sayinge myght be fulfilled that is written in theyr lawe: ^note they hated me &wt;out a cause. &cross3;

D   &cross2; But when the comforter is come / whom I will sende vnto you fr&obar; the father / which is the sprete of truthe / which proceadeth of the father / he shall testifie of me. And ye shall beare witnes also / ^note because ye have bene with me from the begynninge. ¶ The .xvi. Chapter.

^noteThese thinges have I sayde vnto you / because ye shuld not be offended. A   They shall exc&obar;municat you: ye þe; tyme shall come / that whosoever killeth you / will thinke that he doth God service. And suche thinges will they do vnto you / because they have not knowen the father nether yet me. But these thinges have I tolde you / that when that houre is come / ye myght remember them / that I tolde you so. &cross3; These thinges sayde I not unto you at the begynninge / because I was present with you.

B   &cross2; But now I goo my waye to him that sent me / and none of you axeth me: whither goest thou? But because I have sayde suche

thinges vnto you / youre hertes are full of sorowe. Neverthelesse I tell you the trueth / it is expedient for you that I goo awaye. For yf I goo not awaye / that comforter will not come vnto you. But yf I departe / I will sende him vnto you. And when he is come / he will rebuke þe; worlde of synne / and of rightwesnes / and of iudgement. ^noteOf synne / because they beleve not on me: Of rightwesnes because I go to my father / ^note and ye shall se me no moare: and of iudgement / because the chefe ruler of this worlde / is iudged all ready.

C   I have yet many thing&es; to saye vnto you: but ye c&abar;not beare them awaye now. How be it when he is come (I meane the sprete of truthe) he will leade yon into all trueth. He shall not speake of him selfe: but whatsoever he shall heare / that shall he speake / and he will shewe you thinges to come. He shall glorify me / for he shall receave of myne ∧ shall shewe vnto you. All thinges that þe; father hath aremyne. Therfore sayd I vnto you / that he shall take of myne and shewe vnto you. &cross3;

&cross2; After a whyle ye shall not se me / ∧ agayne after a whyle ye shall se me: For I goo to the father. D   Then sayd some of his disciples bitwene them selves: what is this þt; he sayth vnto vs / after a whyle ye shall not se me / and agayne after a whyle ye shall se me: and that I go to the father. They sayd therfore: what is this that he sayth after a whyle? we c&abar;not tell what he sayth. Iesus perceaved / þt; they wolde axe him / and sayd vnto them: This is

it that ye enquyre of bitwene youre selves / that I sayd / after a whyle ye shall not se me / ∧ agayne after a whyle ye shall se me. Verely verely I saye vnto you: ye shall wepe ∧ lam&ebar;t ∧ the worlde shall reioyce. E   Ye shall sorowe: but youre sorowe shalbe tourned to ioye.

A woman when she traveyleth hath sorowe / because her houre is come: but assone as she is delivered of the chylde / she remembreth no moare the anguysshe / for ioye that a man is borne in to the worlde. And ye now are in sorowe: but I will se you agayne / and youre hertes shall reioyce / ∧ youre ioye shall no m&abar; take fr&obar; you. &cross3; And in that daye shall ye axe me no question. &cross2; Verely verely I saye vnto you / ^note whatsoever ye shall axe the father in my name / he will geve it you. Hitherto have ye axed nothinge in my name. Axe and ye shall receave it: that youre ioye maye be full.

F   These thinges have I spoken vnto you in proverbes. ^noteThe tyme will come when I shall no moare speake to you in proverbes: but I shall shewe you playnly from my father. At that daye shall ye axe in myne name. And I saye not vnto you that I will speake vnto my father for you. For þe; father him selfe loveth you / because ye have loved me / and have beleved that I came out from God. I went out from the father / and came into the worlde: ∧ I leve the worlde agayne / and go to þe; father.

His disciples sayd vnto him: loo now speakest thou playnly / ∧ thou vsest no proverbe. Nowe knowe we that thou vnderstondest all

thinges / ∧ nedest not þt; eny man shuld axe the eny question. Therfore beleve we that thou camst fr&obar; god. &cross3; Iesus answered them: Now ye do beleve. Beholde þe; houre draweth nye / ∧ is already come / ^note þt; ye shalbe scatered every man his wayes / ∧ shall leave me alone. And yet am I not alone. For þe; father is with me.

These wordes have I spok&ebar; vnto you / þt; in me ye might have peace. For in þe; worlde shall ye have tribulaci&obar;: but be of good cheare / I have over come the worlde. ¶ The .xvii. Chapter. &cross2;

A   These wordes spake Iesus and lyfte vp his eyes to heven / and sayde: father the houre is come: glorify thy sonne / that thy sonne maye glorify the: as thou hast gev&ebar; him power over all fleshe / that he shuld geve eternall lyfe to as many as thou hast geven him. ^noteThis is lyfe eternall / that they myght knowe the that only very God / and whom thou hast sent Iesus Christ.

I have glorified þe; on the erth. I have fynysshed þe; worke which thou gavest me to do. B   And now glorify me thou father &wt; thyn awne selfe / with the glory which I had with þe; yerre þe; worlde was. I have declared thy name vnto þe; men which thou gavest me out of the worlde. Thyne they were / ∧ thou gavest them me / and they have kept thy sayinges. Now they knowe that all thinges whatsoever thou hast geven me / are of the. For I have geven vnto them the wordes which thou gavest me / ∧ they have receaved them / ∧ knowe

surely that I came out from the: and doo beleve that thou dyddest send me.

I praye for them / ∧ praye not for the worlde: but for th&ebar; which thou hast gev&ebar; me / for they are thyne. And all myne are thyne / ∧ thyne are myne / ∧ I am glorified in th&ebar;. C   And now am I no moare in the worlde / but they are in the worlde / ∧ I come to þe;. &cross2;&cross2; Wholy father kepe in thyne awne name / th&ebar; which thou hast geven me / that they maye be one / as we are. Whyll I was with th&ebar; in þe; worlde / I kepte th&ebar; in thy name. Those þt; thou gavest me / have I kepte / ∧ none of th&ebar; is lost / but that lost chylde / ^note that the scripture myght be fulfilled.

Now come I to the / and these wordes speake I in the worlde / that they myght have my ioye full in th&ebar;. I have geven them thy wordes / and the worlde hath hated them / because they are not of the worlde / even as I am not of the worlde. I desyre not that thou shuldest take th&ebar; out of the worlde: but that thou kepe them from evyll. &cross3; They are not of the worlde / as I am not of the worlde. Sanctify th&ebar; &wt; thy truth. Thy sayinge is truth. As thou dyddest send me into the worlde / even so have I sent them into the worlde / and for their sakes sanctify I my selfe / that they also myght be sanctified thorowe the trueth.

D   I praye not for them alone: but for them also which shall beleve on me thorowe their preachynge / that they all maye be one / as thou father arte in me / ∧ I in the / that they maye be also one in vs / that the worlde maye beleve

that thou hast sent me. And that glory that thou gavest me / I have geven them / that they maye be one / as we are wone. I in them and thou in me / that they maye be made perfecte in one / and that the worlde maye knowe that thou hast sent me / ∧ hast loved them / as thou hast loved me.

Father / I will that they which thou hast geven me / be with me where I am / that they maye se my glory which thou hast geven me. For thou lovedest me before the makynge of the worlde. O ryghteous father / þe; very worlde hath not knowen the: but I have knowen the / ∧ these have knowen that thou hast sent me. And I have declared vnto them thy name / and will declare it / that the love wher &wt; thou hast loved me / be in them / and that I be in them. ¶ The .xviii. Chapter. &cross2;

A   UVhen Iesus had spoken these wordes / ^note he w&ebar;t forth with his disciples over the broke Cedron / where was a garden / into the which he entred with his disciples. Iudas also which betrayed him / knewe the place: for Iesus ofte tymes resorted thyther with his disciples. B   Iudas then after he had receaved abonde of men / ^note and ministres of the hye Prestes and Pharises / came thyther with lanterns and fyerbrondes and wepens. Then Iesus knowynge all thinges that shuld come on him / went forth and sayde vnto them: whom seke ye? They answered him: Iesus of Nazareth. Iesus sayde vnto them: I am he.

Iudas also which betrayed him / stode with them. B   But assone as he had sayd vnto them / I am he / they went backe wardes ∧ fell to the grounde. And he axed th&ebar; agayne: whome seke ye? They sayde:Iesus of Nazareth. Iesus answered / I sayde vnto you / I am he. If ye seke me / let these goo their waye. That þe; sayinge might be fulfilled which he spake: of th&ebar; which thou gavest me / have I not lost one.

Simon Peter had a swearde / ∧ drue it / ∧ smote the hye prestes servaunt / ∧ cut of his ryght eare. ^noteThe servauntes name was Malchas. Then sayde Iesus vnto Peter: put vp thy swearde into þe; sheath: shall I not drinke of þe; cup which my father hath geven me? Then the c&obar;pany ∧ the captayne / C   ∧ the ministres of of the Iewes / toke Iesus ∧ bounde him / ∧ led him awaye to Anna fyrst: For he was fatherelawe vnto Cayphas / which was þe; hye preste that same yeare. Cayphas was he that gave counsell to þe; Iewes / that it was expedi&ebar;t that one man shuld dye for the people.

And Simon Peter folowed Iesus ∧ another disciple: that disciple was knowen of þe; hye preste / ∧ went in with Iesus into the pallys of the hye preste. But Peter stode at the dore with out. Then went out that other disciple which was knowen vnto the hye preste / ∧ spake to the damsell that kept the dore / ^note ∧ brought in Peter. Then sayde þe; damsell that kept the dore / vnto Peter: Arte not thou one of this mannes disciples? He sayde: I am not. The servauntes ∧ the ministres stode there / ∧ had

made a fyre of coles: for it was colde: ∧ they warmed them selves. Peter also stode amonge them and warmed him selfe.

D   The hye preste axed Iesus of his disciples ∧ of his doctrine. Iesus answered him: I spake openly in þe; worlde. I ever taught in þe; synagoge ∧ in the temple whyther all þe; Iewes resorted / ∧ in secrete have I sayde nothynge: Why axest thou me? Axe them whiche hearde me / what I sayde vnto th&ebar;. Beholde they can tell what I sayde. Wh&ebar; he had thus spoken / one of þe; ministres which stode by / smote Iesus on the face sayinge: ^note answerest thou the hyepreste so? Iesus answered him. If I have evyll spok&ebar; / beare witnes of þe; evyll: yf I have well spok&ebar; / why smytest thou me? And Annas sent him bounde vnto Caiphas þe; hye preste.

E   Simon Peter stode and warmed him selfe. And they sayde vnto him: arte not thou also one of his disciples? He denyed it / and sayde: I am not. One of the servauntes of the hye preste (his cosyn whose eare Peter smote of) sayde vnto him: dyd not I se the in the garden with him? ^notePeter denyed it agayne: ∧ immediatly the cocke crewe.

F   Then led they Iesus fr&obar; Cayphas into the hall of iudgement. It was in the mornynge / ∧ they them selves went not into the iudgement hall lest they shuld be defyled / but that they myght eate the paschall lambe. Pylate then went out vnto th&ebar; ∧ sayde: what accusacion bringe ye agaynste this man? They answered and sayd vnto him. If he were not an

evyll doar we wolde not have delyvered him vnto the. Then sayd Pylate vnto th&ebar;: take ye him / and iudge him after youre awne lawe. Then the Iewes sayde vnto him. It is not lawfull for vs to put eny m&abar; to deeth. That þe; wordes of Iesus myght be fulfilled which he ^note spake / signifyinge what deeth he shuld dye. ^note

Then Pylate entred into the iudgem&ebar;t hall agayne / ∧ called Iesus / ∧ sayd vnto him: arte thou the kynge of þe; Iewes? Iesus answered: sayst thou that of thy selfe / or dyd other tell it the of me? Pylate answered: Am I a Iewe? Thyne awne nacion ∧ hye prestes have delyvered þe; vnto me. What hast thou done? Iesus answered: my kyngdome is not of this worlde. Yf my kyngdome were of this worlde / then wolde my ministres suerly fight / þt; I shuld not be delyvered to þe; Iewes / but now is my kyngdome not fr&obar; hence. G   Pylate sayde vnto him: Arte thou a kynge then? Iesus answered: Thou sayst þt; I am a kynge. For this cause was I borne / ∧ for this cause came I into þe; worlde þt; I shuld beare witnes vnto the trueth. And all that are of þe; trueth heare my voyce. Pilate sayde vnto him: what thinge is trueth? And when he had sayd þt; / he went out agayne vnto the Iewes / ∧ sayde vnto them: I fynde in him no cause at all. Ye have a custome / that I shuld delyver you one lowsse at ester. ^noteWill ye that I lowse vnto you the kynge of þe; Iewes. Then cryed they all agayne sayinge: Not him / but Barrabas / that Barrabas was a robber. ¶ The .xix. Chap.

A    ^noteThen Pylate toke Iesus and scourged him. And þe; soudiers wounde a croune of thornes and put it on his heed. And they dyd on him a purple garment / and sayd: hayll kynge of the Iewes: ∧ they smote him on the face. Pylate went forthe agayne / ∧ sayde vnto them: beholde I bringe him forth to you / that ye maye knowe / that I fynde no faute in him. Then came Iesus forthe wearynge a croune of thorne and a robe of purple. And Pylate sayd vnto them: beholde þe; man. When the hye Prestes and ministres sawe him / they cryed sayinge: crucify him / crucify him. Pylate sayde vnto them. Take ye him and crucify him: for I fynde no cause in him. The Iewes answered him. We have a lawe / and by oure lawe he ought to dye: because he made him selfe the sonne of God.

B   When Pylate hearde that sayinge / he was the moare afrayde / ∧ went agayne into þe; iudgment hall / and sayde vnto Iesus: whence arte thou? But Iesus gave him none answere. Then sayde Pylate vnto him. Speakest thou not vnto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify the / ∧ have power to lowse the? Iesus answered: Thou couldest have no power at all agaynst me / except it were geven the from above. Therfore he þt; delyvered me vnto the / is moare in synne. And from thence forthe sought Pylate meanes to lowse him: but the Iewes cryed sayinge: yf thou let him goo / thou arte not Cesars frende. For whosoever maketh h&ibar; selfe a kynge / is agaynst Cesar

When Pylate hearde þt; sayinge / he brought Iesus forthe / and sate doune to geve sent&ebar;ce / in a place called the pavement: but in the Hebrue tonge / Gabbatha. It was the Saboth even which falleth in the ester fest / and aboute the sixte houre. And he sayde vnto the Iewes: beholde youre kynge. They cryed / awaye with him / awaye with him / crucify him. Pylate sayde vnto them. Shall I crucify youre kynge? The hye Prestes answered: we have no kynge but Cesar. Then delyvered he him vnto them / ^note to be crucified.

B   And they toke Iesus and led him awaye. And he bare his crosse / and went forthe into a place called the place of deed mens sculles / which is named in Hebrue / Golgatha. Where they crucified him and two other with him on ether syde one / and Iesus in the myddes. And Pylate wrote his tytle / and put it on the crosse. The writynge was / Iesus of Nazareth / kynge of the Iewes. This tytle reed many of the Iewes. For the place where Iesus was crucified / was nye to the cite. And it was written in Hebrue / Greke ∧ Latyn. Then sayde the hye prestes of þe; Iewes to Pylate: wryte not / kynge of the Iewes: but that he sayde / I am kynge of the Iewes. Pylate answered: ^note what I have written / that have I written.

E   Then the soudiers / when they had crucified Iesus / toke his garmentes ∧ made foure partes / to every soudier a parte / ∧ also his coote. The coote was with out seme / wrought vpon thorowe out. And they sayde one to another.

Let vs not devyde it: but cast loost&es; who shall have it That the scripture myght be fulfilled which sayth. ^noteThey parted my rayment amonge them / and on my coote dyd cast lottes. And the soudiers dyd soche thinges in dede.

Ther stode by the crosse of Iesus his mother / ∧ his mothers sister / Mary the wyfe of Cleophas / and Mary Magdalene. When Iesus sawe his mother / and the disciple stondynge whom he loved / he sayde vnto his mother: woman beholde thy sonne. Then sayde he to þe; disciple: beholde thy mother. And fr&obar; that houre the disciple toke her for his awne.

F   After that when Iesus perceaved that all thinges were performed: ^note that the scripture myght be fulfilled / he sayde: I thyrst. Ther stode a vessell full of veneger by. And they filled a sponge with veneger / ∧ wounde it about with ysope / and put it to his mouth. Assone as Iesus had receaved of the veneger / he sayd: It is fynesshed / and bowed his heed / and gaue vp the goost.

The Iewes then because it was the saboth ev&ebar; / that þe; bodyes shuld not remayne apon þe; crosse on þe; saboth daye (for that saboth daye was an hye daye) besought Pylate that their legges myght be broken ∧ that they myght be taken doune. Then came the soudiers and brake the legges of the fyrst / ∧ of the other which was crucified with Iesus. But when they came to Iesus / ∧ sawe that he was deed already they brake not his legges: but one of the soudiers with a speare / thrust him into the syde /

∧ forthwith came ther out bloud and water.

And he that sawe it / bare recorde / ∧ his recorde is true. And he knoweth that he sayth true / that ye myght beleve also. These thinges were done that the scripture shuld be fulfilled: ^note Ye shall not breake a boone of him. G   And agayne another scripture sayth: They shall looke on him / whom they pearsed.

After that / Ioseph of Aramathia (which was a disciple of Iesus: ^note but secretly for feare of þe; Iewes) besought Pylate that he myght take doune the body of Iesus. And Pylate gave him licence. And ther cam also Nicodemus which at the beginnynge came to Iesus by nyght / ∧ brought of myrre and aloes mingled to gether aboute an hundred pounde wayght Then toke they the body of Iesu ∧ wounde it in lynnen clothes with the odoures as þe; maner of the Iewes is to bury. And in the place where Iesus was crucified / was a garden / ∧ in þe; garden a newe sepulchre / wherin was never man layd. There layde they Iesus because of the Iewes saboth even / for the sepulcre was nye at honde. &cross3; ¶ The .xx. Chap. &cross2;

A   The morow after the saboth daye / came Mary Magdalene erly / ^note when it was yet darcke / vnto þe; sepulcre / ∧ sawe the stone taken awaye from þe; toumbe. Then she ranne / ∧ came to Simon Peter ∧ to the other disciple whome Iesus loved / and sayde vnto them. They have taken awaye the Lorde out of the toumbe / ∧ we cannot tell where they have layde him. Peter went forth ∧ that other

disciple / ∧ came vnto the sepulcre. They ranne bothe to gether / and that other disciple dyd out runne Peter / ∧ came fyrst to the sepulcre. And he stouped doune ∧ sawe the lynnen clothes lyinge / yet w&ebar;t he not in. B   Then came Simon Peter folowynge him / ∧ went into þe; sepulcre / ∧ sawe the lynnen clothes lye / and the napkyn that was aboute his heed / not lyinge with the lynnen clothe / but wrapped togeder in a place by it selfe. Then went in also that other disciple which came fyrst to the sepulcre / and he sawe and beleved. For as yet they knew not the scriptures / that he shuld ryse agayne from deeth. &cross3; And the disciples w&ebar;t awaye agayne vnto their awne home.

C    ^note&cross2; Mary stode with out at the sepulcre wepynge. And as she wept / she bowed her selfe into the sepulcre ∧ sawe two angels in whyte sittyng / the one at the heed ∧ the other at the fete / where they had layde the body of Iesus. And they sayde vnto her: woman why wepest thou? She sayde vnto th&ebar;: For they have taken awaye my lorde / ∧ I wote not where they have layde him. When she had thus sayde / she turned her selfe backe ∧ sawe Iesus stondynge / ∧ knewe not that it was Iesus. Iesus sayde vnto her: woman why wepest thou? Whom sekest thou? She supposynge that he had bene the gardener / sayde vnto him. D   Syr yf thou have borne him h&ebar;ce tell me where thou hast layde him / that I maye fet him. Iesus sayde vnto her: Mary. She turned her selfe / and sayde vnto him: Rabboni / which is to

saye master. Iesus sayde vnto her / touche me not / for I am not yet ascended to my father. But goo to my brethren and saye vnto them / I ascende vnto my father and youre father to: my god ∧ youre god. Mary Magdalene came ∧ tolde the disciples þt; she had sene the lorde / ∧ þt; he had spoken soche thinges vnto her. &cross3;

E    ^note&cross2; The same daye at nyght / which was the morowe after þe; saboth daye / when the dores were shut / where the disciples were assembled to geder for feare of the Iewes / came Iesus ∧ stode in the myddes / ∧ sayd to th&ebar;: peace be with you. And when he had so sayde / he shewed vnto them his hondes / ∧ his syde. Then were the disciples glad when they sawe the Lorde. Then sayde Iesus to them agayne: peace be with you. As my father sent me / even so sende I you. And when he had sayde that / he brethed on them and sayde vnto th&ebar;: Receave þe; holy ^note goost. Whosoevers synnes ye remyt they are remitted vnto th&ebar;. And whosoevers synnes ye retayne / they are retayned. &cross3;

F   &cross2; But Thomas one of þe; twelve / called Didymus / was not with th&ebar; when Iesus came. The other disciples sayd vnto him: we have sene þe; lorde. And he sayde vnto th&ebar;: except I se in his hondes the prent of the nayles / ∧ put my fynger in the holes of the nayles / ∧ thrust my honde into his syde / I will not beleve.

And after .viii. dayes agayne / his disciples were with in / ∧ Thomas with them. Then came Iesus when the dores were shut / ∧ stode in the myddes and sayde: peace be with you.

G   After that sayde he to Thomas: bringe thy fynger hether / and se my hondes / ∧ bringe thy honde ∧ thrust it into my syde / ∧ be not faythlesse / but belevynge. Thomas answered ∧ sayde vnto him: my Lorde / ∧ my God. Iesus sayde vnto him. Thomas / because thou hast sene me / therfore thou belevest: Happy are they that have not sene / and yet beleve.

And many other signes dyd Iesus in the presence of his disciples / which are not written in this boke. These are written that ye myght beleve / that Iesus is Christ the sonne of God / ∧ that in belevynge ye myght have lyfe thorowe his name. &cross3; ¶ The .xxi. Cha. &cross2;

A   After that Iesus shewed him selfe agayne / at the see of Tyberias. And on this wyse shewed he him selfe. There were to geder Simon Peter ∧ Thomas / which is called Didymus: and Nathanael of Cana a citie of Galile / and the sonnes of Zebedei / ∧ two other of the disciples. Simon Peter sayde vnto them: I goo a fysshynge. They sayde vnto him: we also will goo with the. They w&ebar;t their waye ∧ entred into a shippe strayght waye / C   and that nyght caught they nothinge. But when the mornynge was now come / Iesus stode on the shore: neverthelesse the disciples knewe not þt; it was Iesus. Iesus sayde vnto th&ebar;: syrs / have ye eny meate? They answered him / no. And he sayde vnto them: cast out þe; net on the ryght syde of the ship / and ye shall fynde. They cast out / ∧ an&obar;ne they were not able to drawe it for þe; multitude of fysshes

Then sayde the disciple whom Iesus loved / vnto Peter: It is the Lorde. When Simon Peter hearde / that it was þe; lorde / he gyrde his mantell to him (for he was naked) and sprange into the see. The other disciples came by ship: for they were not farre from londe / but as it were two hondred cubites / ∧ they drewe the net with fysshes. Assone as they were come to londe / they sawe hoot coles ∧ fysshe layd ther on / and breed. Iesus sayde vnto them: bringe of the fysshe which ye have now caught. Simon Peter stepped forthe and drewe the net to londe full of greate fysshes / an hondred and .liii. And for all ther were so many / yet was not the net broken. Iesus sayde vnto them: come and dyne. And none of the disciples durste axe him: what arte thou? For they knewe that it was the lorde. Iesus then came and toke breed / ∧ gave them / ∧ fysshe lykwyse. And this is now the thyrde tyme that Iesus appered to his disciples / after that he was rysen agayne from deeth. &cross3;

D   When they had dyned / Iesus sayde to Simon Peter: Simon Io&abar;na / lovest thou me more then these? He sayde vnto him: ye Lorde / thou knowest / that I love the. He sayde vnto him: fede my ^note lambes. He sayde to him agayne the seconde tyme: Sim&obar; Io&abar;na / lovest thou me? He sayde vnto him: ye lorde thou knowest that I love þe;. He sayde vnto him: fede my shepe. He sayde vnto him þe; thyrde tyme: Simon Ioanna / lovest thou me? And Peter sorowed because he sayde to him þe; thyrde tyme / lovest

thou me / and sayde vnto him: Lorde / thou knowest all thinge / thou knowest that I love the. Iesus sayde vnto him: fede my shepe.

E   Verely verely I saye vnto the / when thou wast yonge / thou gerdedst thy selfe / and walkedst whyther thou woldest: but when thou arte olde / thou shalt stretche forthe thy hondes / ∧ a nother shall gyrde þe; / ∧ leade the whyther thou woldest not. ^noteThat spake he signifyinge by what deeth he shuld glorify God.

And wh&ebar; he had sayde thus / he sayd to him &cross2; folowe me. Peter turned about ∧ sawe that disciple wh&obar; Iesus loved folowynge: which also lened on his brest at supper ∧ sayde: Lorde which is he þt; shall betraye the? When Peter sawe him / he sayde to Iesus: Lorde what shall he here do? Iesus sayd vnto him / Yf I will have him to tary tyll I come / F   what is that to the? folowe thou me. Then went this sayinge a broode amonge the brethren / that that disciple shulde not dye. Yet Iesus sayde not to him / he shall not dye: but yf I will that he tary tyll I come / what is that to the? The same disciple is he / which testifieth of these thinges / ∧ wrote these thinges. And we knowe / that his testimony is true. &cross3; There are also many other thinges which Iesus dyd: the which yf they shuld be written every won I suppose the worlde coulde not c&obar;tayne the bokes that shuld be written. ¶ Here endeth the Gospell of Saynct Iohn.
