John 7:13-17:26 How be it no ma spake openly of him for feare of the Iewes

Tyndale⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ How be it no ma spake openly of him for feare of the Iewes ¹⁴ In ye middes of the feast Iesus went vp into the temple and taught. ¹⁵ And the Iewes marveylled sayinge: How knoweth he ye scriptures seynge yt he never learned? ¹⁶ Iesus answered them and sayde: My doctrine is not myne: but his that sent me. ¹⁷ If eny man will do his will he shall knowe of the doctrine whether it be of God or whether I speake of my selfe. ¹⁸ 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. ¹⁹ Dyd not Moses geve you a lawe and yet none of you kepeth ye lawe? Why goo ye aboute to kyll me? ²⁰ The people answered and sayde: thou hast the devyll: who goeth aboute to kyll the? ²¹ Iesus answered and sayde to them: I have done one worke and ye all marvayle. ²² Moses therfore gave vnto you circumcision: not because it is of Moses but of the fathers. And yet ye on the Saboth daye circumcise a man. ²³ If a man on the Saboth daye receave circumcision without breakinge of the lawe of Moses: disdayne ye at me because I have made a man every whit whoale on the saboth daye? ²⁴ Iudge not after the vtter aperaunce: but iudge rightewes iudgement. ²⁵ Then sayd some of them of Ierusalem: Is not this he who they goo aboute to kyll? ²⁶ Beholde he speaketh boldly and they saye nothinge to him. Do the rulars knowe in dede that this is very Christ? ²⁷ How be it we knowe this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh no man shall knowe whence he is. ²⁸ Then cryed Iesus in ye 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 yt sent me is true whom ye knowe not. ²⁹ I knowe him: for I am of him and he hath sent me. ³⁰ Then they sought to take him: but no ma layde hondes on him because his tyme was not yet come. ³¹ Many of the people beleved on him and sayde: when Christ cometh will he do moo miracles then this man hath done? ³² The pharises hearde that the people murmured suche thinges about him. Wherfore ye pharises and hye prestes sent ministres forthe to take him. ³³ Then sayde Iesus vnto the: Yet am I a lytell whyle with you and then goo I vnto him that sent me. ³⁴ Ye shall seke me and shall not fynde me: and where I am thyther can ye not come. ³⁵ Then sayde the Iewes bitwene the 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? ³⁶ 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? ³⁷ 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. ³⁸ He that beleveth on me as sayeth the scripture out of his belly shall flowe ryvers of water of lyfe. ³⁹ This spak he of the sprete which they that beleved on him shuld receave. For the holy goost was not yet there because that Iesus was not yet glorifyed. ⁴⁰ Many of the people when they hearde this sayinge sayd: of a truth this is a prophet ⁴¹ Other sayde: this is Christ. Some sayde: shall Christ come out of Galile? ⁴² Sayeth not the scripture that Christ shall come of the seed of David: and out of the toune of Bethleem where David was? ⁴³ So was ther dissencion amonge the people aboute him. ⁴⁴ And some of them wolde have taken him: but no man layed hondes on him. ⁴⁵ Then came ye ministres to ye hye prestes and pharises. And they sayde vnto the: why have ye not brought him? ⁴⁶ The servautes answered never man spake as this man doeth. ⁴⁷ Then answered the the pharises: are ye also disceaved? ⁴⁸ Doth eny of the rulers or of the pharises beleve on him? ⁴⁹ But the comen people whiche knowe not ye lawe are cursed. ⁵⁰ Nicodemus sayde vnto them: He that came to Iesus by nyght and was one of them. ⁵¹ Doth oure lawe iudge eny man before it heare him and knowe what he hath done? ⁵² They answered and sayde vnto him: arte thou also of Galile? Searche and loke for out of Galile aryseth no Prophet. ⁵³ And every man went vnto his awne housse. ⁸ ¹ And Iesus went vnto mounte Olivete ² and erly in ye mornynge came agayne into ye temple and all the people came vnto him and he sate doune and taught them. ³ And the scribes and ye pharises brought vnto him a woman taken in advoutry and set hyr in the myddes ⁴ and sayde vnto him: Master this woman was taken in advoutry even as the dede was a doyng. ⁵ Moses in the lawe comaunded vs yt suche shuld be stoned. What sayest thou therfore? ⁶ And this they sayde to tempt him: that they myght have wherof to accuse him. Iesus stouped doune and with his fynger wrote on the grounde. ⁷ And whyll they continued axynge him he lyfte him selfe vp and sayde vnto them: let him yt is amoge you wt out synne cast the fyrst stone at her. ⁸ And agayne he stouped doune and wrote on ye grounde. ⁹ And assone as they hearde that they went out one by one the eldest fyrst. And Iesus was lefte a lone and the woman stondynge in ye myddes. ¹⁰ 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? ¹¹ She sayde: No man Lorde. And Iesus sayde: Nether do I condempne the. Goo and synne no moare. ¹² Then spake Iesus agayne vnto them sayinge: I am the light of the worlde. He that foloweth me shall not walke in darcknes: but shall have the light of lyfe. ¹³ The pharises sayde vnto him: thou bearest recorde of thy sylfe thy recorde is not true. ¹⁴ Iesus answered and sayde vnto them: Though I beare recorde of my selfe yet my recorde is true: for I knowe whece I came and whyther I goo. But ye cannot tell whece I come and whyther I goo. ¹⁵ Ye iudge after ye flesshe. I iudge no man ¹⁶ though I iudge yet is my iudgmet true. For I am not alone: but I and the father that sent me. ¹⁷ It is also written in youre lawe that the testimony of two men is true. ¹⁸ I am one yt beare witnes of my selfe and the father that sent me beareth witnes of me. ¹⁹ 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. ²⁰ These wordes spake Iesus in the tresury as he taught in the temple and no man layde hondes on him for his tyme was not yet come. ²¹ Then sayde Iesus agayne vnto them. I goo my waye and ye shall seke me and shall dye in youre synnes. Whyther I goo thyther can ye not come. ²² Then sayde the Iewes: will he kyll him selfe because he sayth: whyther I goo thyther can ye not come? ²³ And he sayde vnto the: ye are fro beneth I am from above. Ye are of this worlde I am not of this worlde. ²⁴ 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. ²⁵ Then sayde they vnto him who arte thou? And Iesus sayde vnto them: Even ye very same thinge yt I saye vnto you. ²⁶ I have many thinges to saye and to iudge of you. But he yt sent me is true. And I speake in ye worlde those thinges which I have hearde of him. ²⁷ They understode not that he spake of his father. ²⁸ 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: ²⁹ and he that sent me is with me. The father hath not lefte me alone for I do alwayes those thinges that please him. ³⁰ As he spake these wordes many beleved on him. ³¹ Then sayde Iesus to those Iewes which beleved on him. If ye cotinue in my wordes then are ye my very disciples ³² and shall knowe the trueth: and the trueth shall make you free. ³³ They answered him: We be Abrahams seede and were never bonde to eny man: why sayest thou then ye shalbe made fre. ³⁴ Iesus answered them: verely verely I saye vnto you that whosoever committeth synne is the servaunt of synne. ³⁵ And the servaunt abydeth not in the housse for ever: But ye sonne abydeth ever. ³⁶ If the sonne therfore shall make you fre then are ye fre in dede. ³⁷ I knowe that ye are Abrahams seed: But ye seke meanes to kyll me because my sayinges have no place in you. ³⁸ I speake that I have sene with my father: and ye do that which ye have sene with youre father. ³⁹ They answered and sayde vnto him: Abraham is oure father. Iesus sayde vnto them. If ye were Abrahams chyldren ye wolde do the dedes of Abraham. ⁴⁰ 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. ⁴¹ Ye do the dedes of youre father. Then sayde they vnto him: we were not borne of fornicacion. We have one father which is God. ⁴² 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. ⁴³ Why do ye not knowe my speache? Even because ye cannot abyde the hearynge of my wordes. ⁴⁴ 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 because ther is no trueth in him. When he speaketh a lye then speaketh he of his awne. For he is a lyar and the father therof. ⁴⁵ And because I tell you ye trueth therfore ye beleve me not. ⁴⁶ Which of you can rebuke me of synne? If I saye ye trueth why do not ye beleve me? ⁴⁷ He that is of God heareth goddes wordes Ye therfore heare them not because ye are not of God. ⁴⁸ Then answered the Iewes and sayde vnto him: Saye we not well that thou arte a Samaritane and hast the devyll? ⁴⁹ Iesus answered: I have not the devyll: but I honour my father and ye have dishonoured me. ⁵⁰ I seke not myne awne prayse: but ther is one that seketh and iudgeth. ⁵¹ Verely verely I saye vnto you yf a man kepe my sayinges he shall never se deeth. ⁵² Then sayde the Iewes to him: Now knowe we that thou hast the devyll. Abraha is deed and also the Prophetes: and yet thou sayest yf a man kepe my sayinge he shall never tast of deeth. ⁵³ Arte thou greater then oure father Abraham which is deed? and the Prophetes are deed. Whome makest thou thy selfe? ⁵⁴ 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 ⁵⁵ and 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. ⁵⁶ Youre father Abraham was glad to se my daye and he sawe it and reioysed. ⁵⁷ Then sayde the Iewes vnto him: thou arte not yet.l. yere olde and hast thou sene Abraham? ⁵⁸ Iesus sayd vnto them: Verely verely I saye vnto you: yer Abraham was I am. ⁵⁹ Then toke they vp stones to caste at him. But Iesus hid him selfe and went out of ye temple. ⁹ ¹ And as Iesus passed by, he sawe a man which was blynde from his birth. ² And his disciples axed him sayinge. Master who dyd synne: this man or his father and mother that he was borne blynde? ³ Iesus answered: Nether hath this man synned nor yet his father and mother: but that the workes of God shuld be shewed on him. ⁴ I must worke the workes of him that sent me whyll it is daye. The nyght cometh when no man can worke. ⁵ As longe as I am in the worlde I am the lyght of the worlde. ⁶ Assone as he had thus spoken he spate on the grounde and made claye of the spetle and rubbed the claye on the eyes of the blynde ⁷ and sayde vnto him: Goo wesshe the in ye pole of Syloe which by interpretacion signifieth sent. He went his waye and wasshed and cam agayne seinge. ⁸ The neghboures and they that had sene him before how that he was a begger sayde: is not this he that sate and begged? ⁹ Some sayde: this is he. Other sayd: he is lyke him. But he him selfe sayde: I am even he. ¹⁰ They sayde vnto him: How are thyne eyes opened then? ¹¹ He answered and sayde. The ma 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 and receaved my syght. ¹² They sayde vnto him: where is he? He sayde: I cannot tell. ¹³ Then brought they to ye pharises him that a lytell before was blynde: ¹⁴ for it was the Saboth daye when Iesus made the claye and opened his eyes. ¹⁵ Then agayne the pharises also axed him how he had receaved his syght. He sayde vnto the: He put claye apon myne eyes and I wasshed and do se. ¹⁶ 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 yt is a synner do suche myracles? And ther was stryfe amonge the. ¹⁷ 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. ¹⁸ But the Iewes dyd not beleve of the felowe how that he was blynde and receaved his syght vntyll they had called the father and mother of him that had receaved his syght. ¹⁹ And they axed the saying: Is this youre sonne whome ye saye was borne blynde? How doth he now se then? ²⁰ His father and mother answered them and sayde: we wote well that this is oure sonne and that he was borne blynde: ²¹ 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. ²² 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. ²³ Therefore sayde his father and mother: he is olde ynough axe him. ²⁴ 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. ²⁵ He answered and sayde: Whyther he be a synner or noo I cannot tell: One thinge I am sure of that I was blynde and now I se. ²⁶ Then sayde they to him agayne. What dyd he to the? How opened he thyne eyes? ²⁷ He answered them I tolde you yerwhyle and ye dyd not heare. Wherfore wolde ye heare it agayne? Will ye also be his disciples? ²⁸ Then rated they him and sayde: Thou arte his disciple. We be Moses disciples. ²⁹ We are sure that God spake with Moses. This felowe we knowe not from whence he is. ³⁰ 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. ³¹ For we be sure that God heareth not synners. But yf eny man be a worshipper of God and do his will him heareth he. ³² Sence ye worlde beganne was it not hearde yt eny man opened the eyes of one that was borne blynd. ³³ If this man were not of God he coulde have done no thinge. ³⁴ They answered and sayd vnto him: thou arte altogeder borne in synne: and dost thou teache vs? And they cast him out. ³⁵ 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? ³⁶ He answered and sayde: Who is it Lorde that I myght beleve on him? ³⁷ And Iesus sayde vnto him: Thou hast sene him and he it is that talketh with the. ³⁸ And he sayde: Lorde I beleve: and worshipped him. ³⁹ 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. ⁴⁰ And some of the pharises which were with him hearde these wordes and sayde vnto him: are we then blynde? ⁴¹ Iesus sayde vnto them: yf ye were blynde ye shuld have no synne. But now ye saye we se therfore youre synne remayneth. ¹⁰ ¹ Verely verely I saye vnto you: he that entreth not in by ye dore into the shepefolde but clymeth vp some other waye: the same is a thefe and a robber. ² He that goeth in by ye dore is the shepeherde of ye shepe: ³ to him the porter openeth and the shepe heare his voyce and he calleth his awne shepe by name and leadeth them out. ⁴ And when he hath sent forthe his awne shepe he goeth before them and the shepe folowe him: for they knowe his voyce. ⁵ A straunger they will not folowe but will flye from him: for they knowe not the voyce of straungers. ⁶ This similitude spake Iesus vnto them. But they vnderstode not what thinges they were which he spake vnto them. ⁷ Then sayde Iesus vnto them agayne. Verely verely I saye vnto you: I am the dore of the shepe. ⁸ All even as many as came before me are theves and robbers: but the shepe dyd not heare them. ⁹ I am the dore: by me yf eny man enter in he shalbe safe and shall goo in and out and fynde pasture. ¹⁰ The thefe cometh not but forto steale kyll and destroye. I am come that they myght have lyfe and have it more aboundantly. ¹¹ I am ye good shepeheerd. The good shepeheerd geveth his lyfe for ye shepe. ¹² An heyred servaut which is not ye shepeherd nether ye shepe are his awne seith the wolfe comynge and leveth the shepe and flyeth and the wolfe catcheth them and scattereth ye shepe. ¹³ The heyred servaut flyeth because he is an heyred servaunt and careth not for the shepe. ¹⁴ I am that good shepeheerd and knowe myne and am knowe of myne. ¹⁵ As my father knoweth me: even so knowe I my father. And I geve my lyfe for the shepe: ¹⁶ 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. ¹⁷ Therfore doth my father love me because I put my lyfe from me that I myght take it agayne. ¹⁸ 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 comaundment have I receaved of my father. ¹⁹ And ther was a dissencion agayne amoge the Iewes for these sayinges ²⁰ and many of them sayd. He hath the devyll and is mad: why heare ye him? ²¹ Other sayde these are not the wordes of him that hath the devyll. Can the devyll open the eyes of the blynde? ²² And it was at Ierusalem ye feaste of the dedicacion and it was wynter: ²³ and Iesus walked in Salomons porche. ²⁴ 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. ²⁵ Iesus answered them: I tolde you and ye beleve not. The workes yt I do in my fathers name they beare witnes of me. ²⁶ But ye beleve not because ye are not of my shepe. As I sayde vnto you: ²⁷ my shepe heare my voyce and I knowe them and they folowe me ²⁸ and I geve vnto the eternall lyfe and they shall never perisshe nether shall eny man plucke the oute of my honde. ²⁹ My father which gave the me is greatter then all and no man is able to take them out of my fathers honde. ³⁰ And I and my father are one. ³¹ Then the Iewes agayne toke up stones to stone him with all. ³² Iesus answered them: many good workes have I shewed you from my father: for which of them will ye stone me? ³³ The Iewes answered him sayinge. For thy good workes sake we stone ye not: but for thy blasphemy and because that thou beinge a man makest thy selfe God. ³⁴ Iesus answered them: Is it not written in youre lawe: I saye ye are goddes? ³⁵ If he called the goddes vnto whom the worde of God was spoken (and the scripture can not be broken) ³⁶ saye ye then to him whom the father hath sainctified and sent into the worlde thou blasphemest because I sayd I am the sonne of God? ³⁷ If I do not the workes of my father beleve me not. ³⁸ 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. ³⁹ Agayne they went aboute to take him: but he escaped out of their hondes ⁴⁰ and went awaye agayne beyonde Iordan into the place where Iohn before had baptised and there aboode. ⁴¹ And many resorted vnto him and sayd. Iohn dyd no miracle: but all thinges that Iohn spake of this man are true. ⁴² And many beleved on him theare. ¹¹ ¹ A certayne man was sicke named Lazarus of Bethania the toune of Mary and her sister Martha. ² It was that Mary which annoynted Iesus with oyntment and wyped his fete with her heere whose brother Lazarus was sicke ³ and his sisters sent vnto him sayinge. Lorde behold he whom thou lovest is sicke. ⁴ When Iesus hearde yt he sayd: this infirmite is not vnto deth but for ye laude of God that the sonne of God myght be praysed by the reason of it. ⁵ Iesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. ⁶ After he hearde that he was sicke then aboode he two dayes still in the same place where he was. ⁷ Then after that sayd he to his disciples: let us goo into Iewry agayne. ⁸ His disciples sayde vnto him. Master the Iewes lately sought meanes to stone the and wilt thou goo thyther agayne? ⁹ Iesus answered: are ther not twelve houres in ye daye? Yf a man walke in ye daye he stombleth not because he seith the lyght of this worlde. ¹⁰ But yf a ma walke in ye nyght he stombleth because ther is no lyght in him. ¹¹ This sayde he and after yt he sayde vnto the: oure frende Lazarus slepeth but I goo to wake him out of slepe. ¹² Then sayde his disciples: Lorde yf he slepe he shall do well ynough. ¹³ How be it Iesus spake of his deeth: but they thought yt he had spoke of ye naturall slepe. ¹⁴ Then sayde Iesus vnto the playnly Lazarus is deed ¹⁵ and I am glad for youre sakes yt I was not there because ye maye beleve. Neverthelesse let vs go vnto him. ¹⁶ Then sayde Thomas which is called Dydimus vnto ye disciples: let vs also goo that we maye dye wt him ¹⁷ Then went Iesus and founde that he had lyne in his grave foure dayes already. ¹⁸ Bethanie was nye vnto Ierusalem aboute. xv. furlonges of ¹⁹ and many of the Iewes were come to Martha and Mary to comforte them over their brother. ²⁰ Martha assone as she hearde yt Iesus was comynge went and met him: but Mary sate still in the housse. ²¹ Then sayde Martha vnto Iesus: Lorde yf thou haddest bene here my brother had not bene deed: ²² but neverthelesse I knowe that whatsoever thou axest of God God will geve it the. ²³ Iesus sayde vnto her: Thy brother shall ryse agayne. ²⁴ Martha sayde vnto him: I knowe that he shall ryse agayne in the resurreccion at the last daye. ²⁵ Iesus sayde vnto her: I am the resurreccion and the lyfe: He that beleveth on me ye though he were deed yet shall he lyve. ²⁶ And whosoever lyveth and belevest on me shall never dye. Beleveth thou this? ²⁷ She sayde vnto him: ye Lorde I beleve that thou arte Christ the sonne of god which shuld come into the worlde. ²⁸ And assone as she had so sayde she went her waye and called Marie her sister secretly sayinge: The master is come and calleth for the ²⁹ And she assone as she hearde that arose quickly and came vnto him. ³⁰ Iesus was not yet come into the toune: but was in the place where Martha met him. ³¹ 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. ³² Then when Mary was come where Iesus was and sawe him she fell doune at his fete sayinge vnto him: Lorde yf thou haddest bene here my brother had not bene deed. ³³ When Iesus sawe her wepe and ye Iewes also wepe which came wt her he groned in ye sprete and was troubled in him selfe ³⁴ and sayde: Where have ye layed him? They sayde vnto him: Lorde come and se. ³⁵ And Iesus wept. ³⁶ Then sayde the Iewes: Beholde howe he loved him. ³⁷ And some of the sayde: coulde not he which openned the eyes of the blynde have made also that this man shuld not have dyed? ³⁸ Iesus agayne groned in him selfe and came to the grave. It was a caue and a stone layde on it. ³⁹ 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: ⁴⁰ Iesus sayde vnto her: Sayde I not vnto the yt if thou didest beleve thou shuldest se ye glory of God. ⁴¹ Then they toke awaye ye stone from ye place where the deed was layde. And Iesus lyfte vp his eyes and sayde: Father I thanke the because that thou hast hearde me. ⁴² I wot that thou hearest me all wayes: but because of the people that stonde by I sayde it yt they maye beleve that thou hast sent me. ⁴³ And when he thus had spoken he cryed wt a loud voyce. Lazarus come forthe. ⁴⁴ And he that was deed came forth bounde hand and fote with grave bondes and his face was bounde with a napkin. Iesus sayde vnto the: loowse him and let him goo. ⁴⁵ Then many of the Iewes which came to Mary and had sene the thinges which Iesus dyd beleved on him. ⁴⁶ But some of them went their wayes to the Pharises and tolde them what Iesus had done. ⁴⁷ Then gadered the hye prestes and the Pharises a counsell and sayde: what do we? This ma doeth many miracles. ⁴⁸ Yf we let him scape thus all men will beleve on him and ye Romaynes shall come and take awaye oure countre and the people. ⁴⁹ And one of them named Cayphas which was the hieprest yt same yeare sayde vnto them: Ye perceave nothinge at all ⁵⁰ nor yet consider that it is expedient for vs that one man dye for the people and not that all the people perisshe. ⁵¹ This spake he not of him selfe but beinge hye preste that same yeare he prophesied that Iesus shulde dye for the people ⁵² and not for the people only but that he shuld gader to geder in one the chyldren of God which were scattered abroode. ⁵³ From that daye forth they held a counsell to geder for to put him to deeth. ⁵⁴ Iesus therfore walked no more opely amoge the Iewes: but wet his waye thence vnto a coutre nye to a wildernes into a cite called Ephraim and there hauted with his disciples. ⁵⁵ And the Iewes ester was nye at hand and many went out of the countre vp to Ierusalem before the ester to purify them selves. ⁵⁶ Then sought they for Iesus and spake bitwene the selves as they stode in the teple: What thinke ye seynge he cometh not to the feast. ⁵⁷ The hye prestes and Pharises had geven a comaundemet that yf eny man knew where he were he shuld shewe it that they myght take him. ¹² ¹ Then Iesus sixe dayes before ester came to Bethany where Lazarus was which was deed and who Iesus raysed from deeth. ² There they made him a supper and Martha served: But Lazarus was one of them that sate at the table with him. ³ Then toke Mary a pounde of oyntmet called Nardus perfecte and precious and anoynted Iesus fete and wipt his fete with her heer and the housse was filled of the savre of the oyntmet. ⁴ Then sayde one of his disciples name Iudas Iscariot Simos sonne which afterwarde betrayed him: ⁵ why was not this oyntmet solde for thre hondred pence and geve to the poore? ⁶ This sayde he not that he cared for the pooer: but because he was a thefe and kept the bagge and bare that which was geven. ⁷ Then sayde Iesus: Let her alone agaynst the daye of my buryinge she kept it. ⁸ The poore all wayes shall ye have with you but me shall ye not all wayes have. ⁹ Moche people of the Iewes had knowledge that he was there. And they came not for Iesus sake only but yt they myght se Lazarus also whom he raysed from deeth. ¹⁰ The hye prestes therfore held a counsell that they myght put Lazarus to deeth also ¹¹ because that for his sake many of the Iewes went awaye and beleved on Iesus. ¹² On the morowe moche people that were come to the feast when they hearde yt Iesus shuld come to Ierusalem ¹³ toke braunches of palme trees and went and met him and cryed: Hosanna blessed is he that in the name of the Lorde commeth kynge of Israel. ¹⁴ And Iesus got a yonge asse and sate thero accordinge to that which was writte: ¹⁵ feare not doughter of Sio beholde thy kynge cometh sittinge on an asses coolte. ¹⁶ These thinges vnderstode not his disciples at ye 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. ¹⁷ The people that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave and raysed him from deeth bare recorde. ¹⁸ Therfore met him the people be cause they hearde yt he had done soche a myracle. ¹⁹ The Pharises therfore sayde amonge them selves: perceave ye how we prevayle no thinge? beholde the worlde goth awaye after him. ²⁰ Ther were certayne Grekes amoge them that came to praye at the feast: ²¹ the same cam to Philip which was of Bethsayda a cyte in Galile and desired him sayinge: Syr we wolde fayne se Iesus. ²² Philip came and tolde Andrew. And agayne Andrew and Philip tolde Iesus. ²³ And Iesus answered them sayinge: the houre is come yt the sonne of ma must be glorified. ²⁴ Verely verely I saye vnto you except ye wheate corne fall into the grounde and dye it bydeth alone. Yf it dye it brengeth forth moche frute. ²⁵ He that loveth his lyfe shall destroye it: and he yt hateth his lyfe in this worlde shall kepe it vnto lyfe eternall. ²⁶ If eny man mynister vnto me let him folowe me and where I am there shall also my minister be. And yf eny man minister vnto me him will my father honoure. ²⁷ Now is my soule troubled and what shall I saye? Father delyver me from this houre: but therfore came I vnto this houre ²⁸ Father glorify thy name. Then came ther a voyce fro heaven: I have glorified it and will glorify it agayne. ²⁹ Then sayd the people yt stode by and hearde: it thoundreth. Other sayde an angell spake to him. ³⁰ Iesus answered and sayde: this voyce cam not because of me but for youre sakes. ³¹ Now is the iudgement of this worlde: now shall ye prince of this worlde be cast out. ³² And I yf I were lifte vp from the erthe will drawe all men vnto me. ³³ This sayde Iesus signifyinge what deeth he shuld dye. ³⁴ The people answered him: We have hearde of ye lawe yt Christ bydeth ever: and how sayest thou then that the sonne of man must be lifte vp? who is yt sonne of ma? ³⁵ Then Iesus sayde vnto them: yet a lytell whyle is the light wt you. Walke whill ye have light lest the darcknes come on you. He that walketh in the darke wotteth not whither he goeth. ³⁶ Whyll ye have light beleve on the light that ye maye be the chyldren of light. These thinges spake Iesus and departed and hyd him silfe fro them. ³⁷ And though he had done so many myracles before them yet beleved not they on him ³⁸ yt the sayinge of Esayas the Prophet myght be fulfilled yt he spake. Lorde who shall beleve oure sayinge? And to whom ys the arme of ye Lorde opened? ³⁹ Therfore coulde they not beleve because yt Esaias sayth agayne: ⁴⁰ he hath blinded their eyes and hardened their hertes that they shuld not se with their eyes and vnderstonde with their hertes and shuld be converted and I shuld heale the. ⁴¹ Soche thinges sayde Esaias when he sawe his glory and spake of him. ⁴² Neverthelesse amoge ye chefe rulers many beleved on him. But because of the pharises they wolde not be a knowen of it lest they shuld be excommunicate. ⁴³ For they loved the prayse yt is geven of men more then the prayse that cometh of God. ⁴⁴ And Iesus cryed and sayde: he that beleveth on me beleveth not on me but on him yt sent me. ⁴⁵ And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me. ⁴⁶ I am come a light into the worlde that whosoever beleveth on me shuld not byde in darcknes. ⁴⁷ And yf eny man heare my wordes and beleve not I iudge him not. For I came not to iudge the worlde: but to save ye worlde. ⁴⁸ He that refuseth me and receaveth not my wordes hath one that iudgeth him. The wordes that I have spoken they shall iudge him in ye last daye. ⁴⁹ For I have not spoken of my selfe: but the father which sent me he gave me a commaundemet what I shuld saye and what I shuld speake. ⁵⁰ And I knowe that this comaundement is lyfe everlastinge. Whatsoever I speake therfore eve as the father bade me so I speake. ¹³ ¹ Before the feast of ester whe Iesus knewe that his houre was come that he shuld departe out of this worlde vnto the father. When he loved his which were in the worlde vnto the ende he loved the. ² And when supper was ended after that the devyll had put in the hert of Iudas Iscariot Simos sonne to betraye him: ³ Iesus knowinge that the father had geve all thinges into his hondes. And that he was come from God and went to God ⁴ he rose from supper and layde a syde his vpper garmentes and toke a towell and gyrd him selfe. ⁵ After that poured he water into a basyn and beganne to wash his disciples fete and to wype them with the towell wherwith he was gyrde. ⁶ Then came he to Simon Peter. And Peter sayde to him: Lorde shalt thou wesshe my fete? ⁷ Iesus answered and sayde vnto him: what I do thou wotest not now but thou shalt knowe herafter. ⁸ Peter sayd vnto him: thou shalt not wesshe my fete whill ye worlde stondeth. Iesus answered him: yf I wasshe ye not thou shalt have no part with me. ⁹ Simon Peter sayde vnto him: Lorde not my fete only: but also my handes and my heed. ¹⁰ Iesus sayde to him: he that is wesshed nedeth not save to wesshe his fete and is clene every whit. And ye are clene: but not all. ¹¹ For he knewe his betrayer. Therfore sayde he: ye are not all clene. ¹² After he had wesshed their fete and receaved his clothes and was set doune agayne he sayde vnto them? wot ye what I have done to you? ¹³ Ye call me master and Lorde and ye saye well for so am I. ¹⁴ If I then youre Lorde and master have wesshed youre fete ye also ought to wesshe one anothers fete. ¹⁵ For I have geven you an ensample that ye shuld do as I have done to you. ¹⁶ Verely verely I saye vnto you the servaunt is not greater then his master nether the messenger greater then he that sent him. ¹⁷ If ye vnderstonde these thinges happy are ye yf ye do them. ¹⁸ I speake not of you all I knowe whom I have chosen. But that ye scripture be fulfilled: he that eateth breed wt me hath lyfte vp his hele agaynste me. ¹⁹ Now tell I you before it come: that when it is come to passe ye might beleve that I am he. ²⁰ Verely verely I saye vnto you. He that receaveth who soever I sende receaveth me. And he that receaveth me receaveth him that sent me. ²¹ When Iesus had thus sayd he was troubled in the sprete and testified sayinge: verely verely I saye vnto you that one of you shall betraye me. ²² And then the disciples loked one on another doutinge of who he spake. ²³ Ther was one of his disciples which leaned on Iesus bosome whom Iesus loved. ²⁴ To him beckened Simo Peter that he shuld axe who it was of whom he spake. ²⁵ He then as he leaned on Iesus brest sayde vnto him: Lorde who ys it? ²⁶ 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. ²⁷ And after the soppe Satan entred into him. Then sayd Iesus vnto him: that thou dost do quickly. ²⁸ That wist no ma at the table for what intent he spake vnto him. ²⁹ Some of the thought because Iudas had the bagge that Iesus had sayd vnto him bye those thinges that we have nede af agaynst ye feast: or that he shulde geve some thinge to the poore. ³⁰ Assone then as he had receaved the soppe he wet immediatly out. And it was night. ³¹ Whe he was gone out Iesus sayde: now is the sonne of man glorified. And God is glorified by him. ³² Yf God be glorified by him God shall also glorify him in him selfe: and shall strayght waye glorify him. ³³ Deare chyldren yet a lytell whyle am I with you. Ye shall seke me and as I sayde vnto the Iewes whither I goo thither can ye not come. Also to you saye I nowe. ³⁴ A newe commaundment geve I vnto you that ye love to gedder as I have loved you that even so ye love one another ³⁵ 35. By this shall all me knowe yt ye are my disciples yf ye shall have love one to another. ³⁶ 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. ³⁷ Peter sayd vnto him: Lorde why canot I folowe the now? I will geve my lyfe for thy sake? ³⁸ 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. ¹⁴ ¹ And he sayd vnto his disciples: Let not youre hertes be troubled. Beleve in god and beleve in me. ² 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. ³ And yf I go to prepare a place for you I will come agayne and receave you eve vnto my selfe yt where I am there maye ye be also. ⁴ And whither I go ye knowe and ye waye ye knowe. ⁵ Thomas sayde vnto him: Lorde we knowe not whyther thou goest. Also how is it possible for vs to knowe the waye? ⁶ Iesus sayd vnto him: I am ye waye ye truthe and ye life. And no man cometh vnto the father but by me. ⁷ Yf ye had knowe me ye had knowe my father also. And now ye knowe him and have sene him. ⁸ Philip sayd vnto him: Lorde shew vs the father and it suffiseth vs. ⁹ Iesus sayde vnto him: have I bene so longe tyme wt you: and yet hast thou not knowen me? Philip he yt hath sene me hath sene ye father. And how sayest thou then: shew vs the father? ¹⁰ Belevest thou not that I am in ye father and the father in me? The wordes that I speake vnto you I speakee not of my selfe: but ye father that dwelleth in me is he that doeth ye workes. ¹¹ Beleve me that I am the father and ye father in me. At the leest beleve me for the very workes sake. ¹² Verely verely I saye vnto you: he that beleveth on me the workes that I doo the same shall he do and greater workes then these shall he do because I go vnto my father. ¹³ And what soever ye axe in my name yt will I do yt the father might be glorified by the sonne. ¹⁴ Yf ye shall axe eny thige in my name I will do it ¹⁵ If ye love me kepe my comaundementes ¹⁶ and I will praye the father and he shall geve you a nother comforter yt he maye byde with you ever ¹⁷ which is the sprete of truthe whome the worlde canot receave because the worlde seyth him not nether knoweth him. But ye knowe him. For he dwelleth with you and shalbe in you. ¹⁸ I will not leave you comfortlesse: but will come vnto you. ¹⁹ Yet a litell whyle and the worlde seith me no moare: but ye shall se me. For I live and ye shall live. ²⁰ That daye shall ye knowe that I am in my father and you in me and I in you ²¹ He that hath my comaundemetes and kepeth them the same is he that loveth me. And he yt loveth me shall be loved of my father: and I will love him and will shewe myne awne selfe vnto him. ²² Iudas sayde vnto him (not Iudas Iscarioth) Lorde what is the cause that thou wilt shewe thy selfe vnto vs and not vnto the worlde? ²³ Iesus answered and sayde vnto him: yf a man love me and wyll kepe my sayinges my father also will love him and we will come vnto him and will dwelle with him. ²⁴ He that loveth me not kepeth not my sayinges. And the wordes which ye heare are not myne but the fathers which sent me. ²⁵ This have I spoken vnto you beynge yet present with you. ²⁶ But that coforter which is the holy gost (whom my father will sende in my name) he shall teache you all thinges and bringe all thinges to youre remembraunce whatsoever I have tolde you. ²⁷ Peace 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. ²⁸ Ye have hearde how I sayde vnto you: I go and come agayne vnto you. If ye loved me ye wolde verely reioyce because I sayde I go vnto ye father. For ye father is greater then I ²⁹ And now have I shewed you before it come yt whe it is come to passe ye might beleve. ³⁰ Here after will I not talke many mordes vnto you. For the rular of this worlde commeth and hath nought in me. ³¹ But that the worlde maye knowe that I love the father: therfore as the father gave me comaundment even so do I. Ryse let vs go hence. ¹⁵ ¹ I am the true vyne and my father ys an husbande man. ² Every braunche that beareth not frute in me he will take awaye. And every braunche that beareth frute will he pourge yt it maye bringe moare frute. ³ Now are ye cleane thorow ye wordes which I have spoke vnto you. ⁴ Byde in me and let me byde in you. As ye braunche canot beare frute of it sylfe excepte it byde in the vyne: no more can ye excepte ye abyde in me. ⁵ I am the vyne and ye are the braunches. He that abydeth in me and I in him the same bringeth forth moche frute. For with out me can ye do nothinge. ⁶ Yf a man byde not in me he ys cast forthe as a braunche and is wyddered: and men gadder it and cast it into the fyre and it burneth. ⁷ Yf ye byde in me and my wordes also byde in you: axe what ye will and it shalbe done to you . ⁸ Heare in is my father glorified that ye beare moche frute and be made my disciples. ⁹ As the father hath loved me eve so have I leved you. Continue in my love. ¹⁰ Yf ye shall kepe my comaudemetes ye shall byde in my love eve as I have kept my fathers comaundementes and byde in his love. ¹¹ These thinges have I spoken vnto you yt my ioye myght remayne in you and that youre ioye might be full. ¹² This is my commaundement that ye love togedder as I have loved you. ¹³ Gretter love then this hath no man then that a man bestowe his lyfe for his frendes. ¹⁴ Ye are my fredes yf ye do whatsoever I commaunde you. ¹⁵ 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. ¹⁶ Ye have not chosen me but I have chosen you and ordeyned you that ye go and bringe forthe frute and that youre frute remayne that whatsoever ye shall axe of the father in my name he shulde geve it you. ¹⁷ This comaunde I you that ye love to gedder. ¹⁸ Yf ye worlde hate you ye knowe that he hated me before he hated you. ¹⁹ Yf ye were of the worlde ye worlde wolde love his awne. How be it because ye are not of ye worlde but I have chosen you out of the worlde therfore hateth you the worlde. ²⁰ Remember the sayinge that I sayde vnto you: the servaute is not greater then his lorde. Yf they have persecuted me so will they persecute you Yf they have kept my sayinge so will they kepe youres. ²¹ But all these thinges will they do vnto you for my names sake because they have not knowen him that sent me. ²² 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. ²³ He that hateth me hateth my father. ²⁴ If I had not done workes amoge the which none other ma dyd they had not had synne. But now have they sene and yet have hated bothe me and my father: ²⁵ eve that the sayinge myght be fulfilled that is written in theyr lawe: they hated me wtout a cause. ²⁶ But when the comforter is come whom I will sende vnto you fro the father which is the sprete of truthe which proceadeth of the father he shall testifie of me. ¹⁶ ¹ These thinges have I sayde vnto you because ye shuld not be offended. ² They shall excomunicat you: ye ye tyme shall come that whosoever killeth you will thinke that he doth God service. ³ And suche thinges will they do vnto you because they have not knowen the father nether yet me. ⁴ But these thinges have I tolde you that when that houre is come ye myght remember them that I tolde you so. These thinges sayde I not unto you at the begynninge because I was present with you. ⁵ But now I goo my waye to him that sent me and none of you axeth me: whither goest thou? ⁶ But because I have sayde suche thinges vnto you youre hertes are full of sorowe. ⁷ 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. ⁸ And when he is come he will rebuke ye worlde of synne and of rightwesnes and of iudgement. ⁹ Of synne because they beleve not on me: ¹⁰ Of rightwesnes because I go to my father and ye shall se me no moare: ¹¹ and of iudgement because the chefe ruler of this worlde is iudged all ready. ¹² I have yet many thinges to saye vnto you: but ye canot beare them awaye now. ¹³ 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. ¹⁴ He shall glorify me for he shall receave of myne and shall shewe vnto you. ¹⁵ All thinges that ye father hath aremyne. Therfore sayd I vnto you that he shall take of myne and shewe vnto you. ¹⁶ After a whyle ye shall not se me and agayne after a whyle ye shall se me: For I goo to the father. ¹⁷ Then sayd some of his disciples bitwene them selves: what is this yt 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. ¹⁸ They sayd therfore: what is this that he sayth after a whyle? we canot tell what he sayth. ¹⁹ Iesus perceaved yt 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 and agayne after a whyle ye shall se me. ²⁰ Verely verely I saye vnto you: ye shall wepe and lamet and the worlde shall reioyce. Ye shall sorowe: but youre sorowe shalbe tourned to ioye. ²¹ 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 ²² 22. And ye now are in sorowe: but I will se you agayne and youre hertes shall reioyce and youre ioye shall no ma take fro you. ²³ And in that daye shall ye axe me no question. Verely verely I saye vnto you whatsoever ye shall axe the father in my name he will geve it you ²⁴ 24. Hitherto have ye axed nothinge in my name. Axe and ye shall receave it: that youre ioye maye be full. ²⁵ These thinges have I spoken vnto you in proverbes. The tyme will come when I shall no moare speake to you in proverbes: but I shall shewe you playnly from my father. ²⁶ At that daye shall ye axe in myne name. And I saye not vnto you that I will speake vnto my father for you ²⁷ For ye father him selfe loveth you because ye have loved me and have beleved that I came out from God. ²⁸ I went out from the father and came into the worlde: and I leve the worlde agayne and go to ye father. ²⁹ His disciples sayd vnto him: loo now speakest thou playnly and thou vsest no proverbe. ³⁰ Nowe knowe we that thou vnderstondest all thinges and nedest not yt eny man shuld axe the eny question. Therfore beleve we that thou camst fro god. ³¹ Iesus answered them: Now ye do beleve. ³² Beholde ye houre draweth nye and is already come yt ye shalbe scatered every man his wayes and shall leave me alone. And yet am I not alone. For ye father is with me. ³³ 33These wordes have I spoke vnto you yt in me ye might have peace. For in ye worlde shall ye have tribulacio: but be of good cheare I have over come the worlde. ¹⁷ ¹ 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: ² as thou hast geve him power over all fleshe that he shuld geve eternall lyfe to as many as thou hast geven him. ³ This is lyfe eternall that they myght knowe the that only very God and whom thou hast sent Iesus Christ. ⁴ I have glorified ye on the erth. I have fynysshed ye worke which thou gavest me to do. ⁵ And now glorify me thou father wt thyn awne selfe with the glory which I had with ye yerre ye worlde was. ⁶ I have declared thy name vnto ye men which thou gavest me out of the worlde. Thyne they were and thou gavest them me and they have kept thy sayinges. ⁷ Now they knowe that all thinges whatsoever thou hast geven me are of the. ⁸ For I have geven vnto them the wordes which thou gavest me and they have receaved them and knowe surely that I came out from the: and doo beleve that thou dyddest send me. ⁹ I praye for them and praye not for the worlde: but for the which thou hast geve me for they are thyne. ¹⁰ And all myne are thyne and thyne are myne and I am glorified in the. ¹¹ And now am I no moare in the worlde but they are in the worlde and I come to ye. Wholy father kepe in thyne awne name the which thou hast geven me that they maye be one as we are. ¹² Whyll I was with the in ye worlde I kepte the in thy name. Those yt thou gavest me have I kepte and none of the is lost but that lost chylde that the scripture myght be fulfilled. ¹³ Now come I to the and these wordes speake I in the worlde that they myght have my ioye full in the. ¹⁴ 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. ¹⁵ I desyre not that thou shuldest take the out of the worlde: but that thou kepe them from evyll. ¹⁶ They are not of the worlde as I am not of the worlde. ¹⁷ Sanctify the wt thy truth. Thy sayinge is truth. ¹⁸ As thou dyddest send me into the worlde even so have I sent them into the worlde ¹⁹ and for their sakes sanctify I my selfe that they also myght be sanctified thorowe the trueth. ²⁰ I praye not for them alone: but for them also which shall beleve on me thorowe their preachynge ²¹ that they all maye be one as thou father arte in me and I in the that they maye be also one in vs that the worlde maye beleve that thou hast sent me. ²² And that glory that thou gavest me I have geven them that they maye be one as we are wone. ²³ 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 and hast loved them as thou hast loved me. ²⁴ 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. ²⁵ O ryghteous father ye very worlde hath not knowen the: but I have knowen the and these have knowen that thou hast sent me. ²⁶ 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.
