A   After these thinges, Iesus w&ebar;t about in Galile: for he wolde not go aboute in Iewry because that the Iewes sought to kyll hym. The Iewes ^note feast of tabernacles was at hande. Hys brethren therfore sayde vnto him: get the hence, and go into Iewry, that thy disciples also maye se thy worckes that thou doest. For ther is no man that doeth eny thynge in secret, and he hym selfe seketh to be knowne openlye. If thou do soch thinges, shewe thy selfe to þe; world.

For his brethren beleued not in him.

Then Iesus sayde vnto them: My tyme is not yet come: but youre tyme is all waye ready. The worlde cannot hate you. ^noteBut me it hateth: because I testify of it, that the workes therof are euill. Go ye vp vnto this feast, I will not go vp yet vnto this feast, for my tyme is not yet full come. wh&abar; he had sayde these wordes vnto them he abode styll in Galile. But as sone as his brethren were come, then w&ebar;t he also vp vnto the feast not openly: but as it were preuely. B   Then sought him the Iewes at the feast, ∧ sayde: ^note where is he? And moch murmuringe was ther of him amonge þe; people. For some sayde: ^note He is good, other sayde naye, but he deceaueth the people. How be it ^note no man spake openly of him, for feare of the Iewes. &cross3;

&cross2; Now whan halfe of þe; feast was done, Iesus went vp into the temple, and taught. And the Iewes marueyled, saying: How knoweth he the scriptures, seynge þt; he neuer learned? Iesus answered them, ∧ sayde: My doctryne hys not myne: but his þt; sent me. If eny man wyll be obedient vnto his wyll, he shall knowe of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speake of my selfe. He þt; speaketh of him selfe, seketh his awne prayse. But he that seketh hys prayse that sent him, the same is true, ∧ no vnryghtewesnes is in him.

^noteDyd not Moses geue you a lawe, ∧ yet none of you kepeth þe; lawe? Why go ye about to kyll me? The people answered and sayde: thou hast the deuyll: who goeth aboute to kyll the? Iesus answered, and sayde vnto them: ^note I haue done one worcke, and ye all maruayle. Moses therfore gaue vnto you þe; circuncisyon: not because it is of Moses, but ^note of the fathers: And yet ye on the Saboth daye, circuncyse a man. If a man on the Saboth daye receaue circ&ubar;cysion without breakynge of the lawe of Moses: disdayne ye at me, because I haue made a man euery whit whoale on the Saboth daye? ^noteIudge not after the vtter aperaunce, but iudge with a ryghtewes iudgement.

Then sayde some of them of Ierusalem: is not this he, whom they go about to kyll? But lo, he speaketh boldly, and they saye nothing to him. Do the rulers knowe in dede, þt; this is very Christ? Howbeit ^note we knowe this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.

Then cryed Iesus in þe; t&ebar;ple (as he taught) saying: ye both knowe me, and whence I am ye knowe. And I am not come of my selfe: but he that sent me is true, whom ye knowe not. But I knowe him (And yf I saye that I knowe hym not, I shalbe a lyer lyke vnto you, but I knowe hym) for I am of h&ibar;, ∧ he hath sent me. ^noteTh&ebar; they sought to take him: but no man layde h&abar;des on him, because his houre was not yet come ^note Many of the people beleued on hym &cross3; ∧ sayde: when Christ c&obar;meth, will he do moo myracles th&ebar; these, that this man hath done?

E   The Pharises hearde that the people murmured suche thinges c&obar;cernyng him &cross2; And the pharises and hye prestes ^note sent ministres to take him. Th&ebar; sayde Iesus vnto th&ebar;: Yet am I a lytell whyle with you, and then go I vnto him that sent me. Ye shall seke me, and shall not fynde me: ^note ∧ where I am, thyther can ye not come. Then sayde the Iewes among them selues: whither wyll he go, that we shall not fynde him? Wyll he go amonge the gentyls (whych are scattered abroade) and teach the g&ebar;tyls: What maner of saying is this that he sayd: ye shall seke me, ∧ shall not finde me: and where I am, thyther can ye not come?

F   In the last daye, that great daye of þe; feast Iesus stode, and cryed, sayinge: ^note If eny m&abar; thyrst, lett him come vnto me, ∧ drincke. He that beleueth on me (as sayeth the scripture) out of his belly shall flowe ryuers of water of lyfe. But this spake he of þe; sprete, whych they that beleue on him, shulde receaue. &cross3; For þe; holy goost was not yet there, because Iesus was not yet glorifyed.

&cross2; Many of the people therfore (wh&ebar; they hearde this saying) sayd ^note of a trueth this is a prophet: but other sayde ^note this is Christ. But some sayde: shal Christ come out of Galile: ^note Sayeth not þe; scripture, þt; Christ shall come of þe; seed of Dauid: and out of þe; towne of Bethleem where Dauid was? So was ther dissencion amonge the people because of him. And some of th&ebar; wolde haue taken him but no man layed handes of him. Th&ebar; came the mynisters to the hye prestes and Pharises. And they sayed vnto them: why haue ye not brought h&ibar;? The mynisters answered: neuer man spake as this m&abar; doeth, Th&ebar; answered th&ebar; þe; Pharises: are ye also disceaued? Doth eny of the rulers or of the Pharises beleue on him? But this comen people whych knowe not the lawe, are cursed, Nicodemus sayeth vnto them ( ^note he that came to Iesus by nyght, ∧ was one of th&ebar;) Doth oure lawe iudge eny m&abar;, before it heare h&ibar;, and knowe what he hath done? They &abar;swered, and sayd vnto h&ibar;: art þu; also of Galile? Search ∧ loke, For out of Galile aryseth no Prophete. And euery man went vnto his awne house. &cross3;
