And thei yauen to him buffatis. ⁴ Eftsoone Pilat wente out, and seide to hem, Lo! Y brynge hym out to you, that ye knowe, that Y fynde no cause in him. ⁵ And so Jhesus wente out, berynge a coroun of thornes, and a cloth of purpur. And he seith to hem, Lo! the man. ⁶ But whanne the bischopis and mynystris hadden seyn hym, thei crieden, and seiden, Crucifie, crucifie hym. Pilat seith to hem, Take ye hym, and crucifie ye, for Y fynde no cause in hym. ⁷ The Jewis answeriden to hym. We han a lawe, and bi the lawe he owith to die, for he made hym Goddis sone. ⁸ Therfor whanne Pilat hadde herd this word, he dredde the more. ⁹ And he wente in to the moot halle eftsoone, and seide to Jhesu, Of whennus art thou? But Jhesus yaf noon answere to him. ¹⁰ Pilat seith to him, Spekist thou not to me? Woost thou not, that Y haue power to crucifie thee, and Y haue power to delyuere thee? ¹¹ Jhesus answeride, Thou schuldist not `haue ony power ayens me, but it were youun to thee from aboue; therfor he that bitook me to thee, hath the more synne. <sup>12</sup> Fro that tyme Pilat souyte to delyuere hym; but the Jewis crieden, and seiden, If thou delyuerist this man, thou art not the emperouris freend; for ech man that makith hym silf king, ayen seith the emperoure. <sup>13</sup> And Pilat, whanne he hadde herd these wordis, ledde Jhesu forth, and sat for domesman in a place, that is seid Licostratos, but in Ebrew Golgatha. <sup>14</sup> And it was pask eue, as it were the sixte our.

The bischops answeriden, We han no king but the emperour. <sup>16</sup> And thanne Pilat bitook him to hem, that he schulde be crucified. And thei token Jhesu, and ledden him out. <sup>17</sup> And he bar to hym silf a cros, and wente out in to that place, that is seid of Caluarie, in Ebreu Golgatha; <sup>18</sup> where thei crucifieden him, and othere tweyne with him, oon on this side and oon on that side, and Jhesus in the myddil. <sup>19</sup> And Pilat wroot a title, and sette on the cros; and it was writun, Jhesu of Nazareth, king of Jewis. <sup>20</sup> Therfor manye of the Jewis redden this title, for the place where Jhesus was crucified, was niy the citee, and it was writun in Ebreu, Greek, and Latyn. <sup>21</sup> Therfor the bischops of the Jewis seiden to Pilat, Nyle thou write kyng of Jewis, but for he seide, Y am king of Jewis. <sup>22</sup> Pilat answeride, That that Y haue writun, Y haue writun. <sup>23</sup> Therfor the knyytis whanne thei hadden crucified hym, token hise clothis, and maden foure partis, to ech knyyt a part, and a coot. And the coot was without seem, and wouun al aboute. <sup>24</sup> Therfor thei seiden togidere, Kitte we not it, but caste we lot, whos it is; that the scripture be fulfillid, seiynge, Thei partiden my clothis to hem, and on my cloth thei casten lot. And the kniytis diden these thingis. <sup>25</sup> But bisidis the cros of Jhesu stoden his modir, and the sistir of his modir, Marie Cleofe, and Marie Maudeleyne. <sup>26</sup> Therfor whanne Jhesu hadde seyn his modir, and the disciple stondynge, whom he louyde, he seith to hise modir, Womman, lo thi sone. <sup>27</sup> Aftyrward he seith to the disciple, Lo! thi modir. And fro that our the disciple took hir in to his modir. <sup>28</sup> Aftirward Jhesus witynge, that now alle thingis ben endid, that the scripture were fulfillid, he seith, Y thirste. <sup>29</sup> And a vessel was set ful of vynegre. And thei `leiden in isope aboute the spounge ful of vynegre, and putten to his mouth. ³⁰ Therfor whanne Jhesus hadde `takun the vynegre, he seid, It is endid. And `whanne his heed was bowid doun, `he yaf vp the goost. ³¹ Therfor for it was the pask eue, that the bodies schulden not abide on the cros in the sabat, for that was a greet sabat dai, the Jewis preiden Pilat, that the hipis of hem schulden be brokun, and thei takun awei. ³² Therfor knyytis camen, and thei braken the thies of the firste, and of the tothere, that was crucified with hym. ³³ But whanne thei weren comun to Jhesu, as thei sayn him deed thanne, thei braken not hise thies; ³⁴ but oon of the knyytis openyde his side with a spere, and anoon blood and watir wenten out. ³⁵ And he that saiy, bare witnessyng, and his witnessing is trewe; and he woot that he seith trewe thingis, that ye bileue. ³⁶ And these thingis weren don, that the scripture schulde be fulfillid, Ye schulen not breke a boon of hym. ³⁷ And eftsoone another scripture seith, Thei schulen se in whom thei piyten thorow. ³⁸ But after these thingis Joseph of Armathi preyede Pilat, that he schulde take awei the bodi of Jhesu, for that he was a disciple of Jhesu, but priui for drede of the Jewis. And Pilat suffride. And so he cam, and took awei the bodi of Jhesu. ³⁹ And Nychodeme cam also, that hadde come to hym first bi nyyt, and brouyte a meddlynge of myrre and aloes, as it were an hundrid pound. ⁴⁰ And thei token the bodi of Jhesu, and boundun it in lynun clothis with swete smellynge oynementis, as it is custom to Jewis for to birie. ⁴¹ And in the place where he was crucified, was a yerd, and in the yerd a newe graue, in which yit no man was leid. ⁴² Therfor there thei putten Jhesu, for the vigilie of Jewis feeste, for the sepulcre was niy.

¹⁷ The tree which thou siyest hiy and strong, whos heiythe stretchith `til to heuene, and the biholdyng therof in to ech lond,

³⁸ And he that takith not his croos, and sueth me, is not worthi to me.

²⁰ A brisid rehed he shal not breke, and he schal not quenche smokynge flax, til he caste out doom to victorie;

⁴⁰ For as Jonas was in the wombe of a whal thre daies and thre nyytis, so mannus sone shal be in the herte of the erthe thre daies and thre nyytis.

⁴⁶ Yit whil he spak to the puple, lo! his modir and his bretheren stoden withouteforth, sekynge to speke to hym.

⁴⁸ He answeride to the man, that spak to hym, and seide, Who is my modir? and who ben my britheren? ⁴⁹ And he helde forth his hoond in to hise disciplis, and seide, Lo! my modir and my bretheren; ⁵⁰ for who euer doith the wille of my fadir that is in heuenes, he is my brothir, and sistir, and modir.

²⁴ Thanne Jhesus seide to his disciplis, If ony man wole come after me, denye he hym silf, and take his cros, and sue me; for he that wole make his lijf saaf,

³⁰ But manye schulen be, the firste the laste, and the laste the firste.

¹⁹ And thei schulen bitake hym to hethene men, for to be scorned, and scourgid, and crucified; and the thridde day he schal rise ayen to lijf.

²⁸ As mannus sone cam not to be seruyd, but to serue, and to yyue his lijf redempcioun for manye.

³⁴ Therfor lo! Y sende to you profetis, and wise men, and scribis; and of hem ye schulen sle and crucifie, and of hem ye schulen scourge in youre sinagogis, and schulen pursue fro cite in to citee;

¹² This womman sendynge this oynement in to my bodi, dide to birie me.

⁴⁹ And anoon he cam to Jhesu, and seid, Haile, maister;

⁶³ But Jhesus was stille. And the prince of prestis seide to hym, Y coniure thee bi lyuynge God, that thou seie to vs, if thou art Crist, the sone of God.

⁶³ But Jhesus was stille.

¹² Jhesus seith to hym, Thou seist. And whanne he was accusid of the princis of prestis, and of the eldere men of the puple, he answeride no thing. ¹³ Thanne Pilat seith to him, Herist thou not, hou many witnessyngis thei seien ayens thee? ¹⁴ And he answeride not `to hym ony word, so that the iustice wondride greetli.

¹⁹ And while he sat for domesman, his wijf sente to hym, and seide, No thing to thee and to that iust man; for Y haue suffrid this dai many thingis for hym, bi a visioun.

²² Pilat seith to hem, What thanne schal Y do of Jhesu, that is seid Crist?

²⁴ And Pilat seynge that he profitide no thing, but that the more noyse was maad, took watir, and waischide hise hondis bifor the puple, and seide, Y am giltles of the blood of this riytful man; bise you.

²⁶ Thanne he deliuerede to hem Barabas, but he took to hem Jhesu scourgid, to be crucified. ²⁷ Thanne knyytis of the iustice token Jhesu in the moot halle, and gadriden to hym al the cumpeny `of knyytis. ²⁸ And thei vnclothiden hym, and diden aboute hym a reed mantil; ²⁹ and thei foldiden a coroun of thornes, and putten on his heed, and a rehed in his riyt hoond; and thei kneliden bifore hym, and scornyden hym, and seiden, Heil, kyng of Jewis.

⁴² seiden, He made othere men saaf, he may not make hym silf saaf; if he is kyng of Israel, come he now doun fro the crosse, and we bileuen to hym; ⁴³ he tristide in God; delyuer he hym now, if he wole; for he seide, That Y am Goddis sone. ⁴⁴ And the theues, that weren crucified with hym, vpbreididen hym of the same thing.

⁴⁸ And anoon oon of hem rennynge, took and fillide a spounge with vynegre, and puttide on a rehed, and yaf to hym to drynke.

⁵⁰ Forsothe Jhesus eftsoone criede with a greet voyce, and yaf vp the goost.

⁵⁴ And the centurien and thei that weren with hym kepinge Jhesu, whanne thei saien the erthe schakynge, and tho thingis that weren doon, thei dredden greetli, ⁵⁵ and seiden, Verili this was Goddis sone. And ther weren there many wymmen afer, that sueden Jhesu fro Galilee, and mynystriden to hym. ⁵⁶ Among whiche was Marie Magdalene, and Marie, the modir of James, and of Joseph, and the modir of Zebedees sones. ⁵⁷ But whanne the euenyng was come, ther cam a riche man of Armathi, Joseph bi name, and he was a disciple of Jhesu. ⁵⁸ He wente to Pilat, and axide the bodi of Jhesu. ⁵⁹ Thanne Pilat comaundide the bodie to be youun.

⁶⁴ Therfor comaunde thou, that the sepulcre be kept in to the thridde dai; lest hise disciplis comen, and stelen hym, and seie to the puple, He hath rise fro deeth; and the laste errour schal be worse than the formere. ⁶⁵ Pilat seide to hem, Ye han the kepyng; go ye, kepe ye as ye kunnen. ⁶⁶ And thei yeden forth, and kepten the sepulcre, markynge the stoon, with keperis.

³⁴ And he bihelde thilke that saten aboute hym, and seide, Lo! my modir and my britheren.

¹⁶ And whanne this thing was herd, Eroude seide, This Joon, whom Y haue biheedide, is risun ayen fro deeth. ¹⁷ For thilke Eroude sente, and helde Joon, and boond hym in to prisoun, for Erodias, the wijf of Filip, his brothir; for he hadde weddid hir. ¹⁸ For Joon seide to Eroude, It is not leueful to thee, to haue the wijf of thi brothir. ¹⁹ And Erodias leide aspies to hym, and wolde sle hym, and myyte not. ²⁰ And Eroude dredde Joon, and knewe hym a iust man and hooli, and kepte hym.

³⁴ And whanne the puple was clepid togidere, with hise disciplis, he seide to hem, If ony man wole come after me, denye he hym silf, and take his cros, and sue he me.

²¹ And Jhesus bihelde hym, and louede hym, and seide to hym, O thing faileth to thee; go thou, and sille alle thingis that thou hast, and yyue to pore men, and thou schalt haue tresoure in heuene; and come, sue thou me.

³³ For lo! we stien to Jerusalem, and mannus sone schal be bitraied to the princis of prestis, and to scribis, and to the eldre men; and thei schulen dampne hym bi deth, and thei schulen take hym to hethene men.

⁶¹ But he was stille, and answeride no thing. Eftsoone the hiyest prest axide hym, and seide to hym, Art thou Crist, the sone of the blessid God? ⁶² And Jhesus seide to hym, Y am; and ye schulen se mannus sone sittynge on the riythalf of the vertu of God, and comynge in the cloudis of heuene. ⁶³ And the hiyest preest torente hise clothis, and seide, What yit dissiren we witnessis? ⁶⁴ Ye han herd blasfemye. What semeth to you? And thei alle condempneden hym to be gilti of deeth.

³ And the hieste prestis accusiden hym in many thingis. ⁴ But Pilat eftsoone axide hym, and seide, Answerist thou no thing? Seest thou in hou many thingis thei accusen thee? ⁵ But Jhesus answeride no more, so that Pilat wondride.

¹² And eftsoone Pilat answerde, and seide to hem, What thanne wolen ye that Y schal do to the kyng of Jewis? ¹³ And thei eftsoone crieden, Crucifie hym. ¹⁴ But Pilat seide to hem, What yuel hath he don? And thei crieden the more, Crucifie hym. ¹⁵ And Pilat, willynge to make aseeth to the puple, lefte to hem Barabas, and bitok to hem Jhesu, betun with scourgis, to be crucified.

¹⁵ And Pilat, willynge to make aseeth to the puple, lefte to hem Barabas, and bitok to hem Jhesu, betun with scourgis, to be crucified. ¹⁶ And knyytis ledden hym with ynneforth, in to the porche of the mote halle. And thei clepiden togidir al the cumpany of knyytis, ¹⁷ and clothiden hym with purpur. And thei writhen a coroun of thornes, and puttiden on hym. ¹⁸ And thei bigunnen to grete hym, and seiden, Heile, thou kyng of Jewis. ¹⁹ And thei smyten his heed with a reed, and bispatten hym; and thei kneliden, and worschipiden hym. ²⁰ And aftir that thei hadden scorned him, thei vnclothiden hym of purpur, and clothiden hym with hise clothis, and ledden out hym, to crucifie hym. ²¹ And thei compelliden a man that passide the weie, that cam fro the toun, Symount of Syrenen, the fader of Alisaundir and of Rufe, to bere his cross. ²² And thei ledden hym in to a place Golgatha, that is to seie, the place of Caluari. ²³ And thei yauen to hym to drynke wyn meddlid with mirre, and he took not. ²⁴ And thei crucifieden him, and departiden hise clothis, and kesten lot on tho, who schulde take what.

²⁵ And it was the thridde our, and thei crucifieden hym. ²⁶ And the titil of his cause was writun, Kyng of Jewis.

²⁶ And the titil of his cause was writun, Kyng of Jewis. ²⁷ And thei crucifien with hym twei theues, oon `at the riythalf and oon at his lefthalf.

³² Crist, kyng of Israel, come doun now fro the cross, that we seen, and bileuen. And thei that weren crucified with hym, dispiseden hym. ³³ And whanne the sixte hour was come, derknessis weren made on al the erthe til in to the nynthe our. ³⁴ And in the nynthe our Jhesus criede with a greet vois, and seide, Heloy, Heloy, lamasabatany, that is to seie, My God, my God, whi hast thou forsakun me?

³⁶ And oon ranne, and fillide a spounge with vynegre, and puttide aboute to a reede, and yaf to hym drynke, and seide, Suffre ye, se we, if Helie come to do hym doun. ³⁷ And Jhesus yaf out a greet cry, and diede.

³⁹ But the centurien that stood forn ayens siy, that he so criynge hadde diede, and seide, Verili, this man was Goddis sone. ⁴⁰ And ther weren also wymmen biholdynge fro afer, among whiche was Marie Maudeleyn, and Marie, the modir of James the lesse, and of Joseph, and of Salome. ⁴¹ And whanne Jhesus was in Galilee, thei folewiden hym, and mynystriden to hym, and many othere wymmen, that camen vp togidir with him to Jerusalem. ⁴² And whanne euentid was come, for it was the euentid which is bifor the sabat,

⁴² And whanne euentid was come, for it was the euentid which is bifor the sabat, ⁴³ Joseph of Armathie, the noble decurioun, cam, and he abood the rewme of God; and booldli he entride to Pilat, and axide the bodi of Jhesu. ⁴⁴ But Pilat wondride, if he were now deed. ⁴⁵ And whanne the centurion was clepid, he axide hym, if he were deed; and whanne he knewe of the centurion, he grauntide the bodi of Jhesu to Joseph. ⁴⁶ And Joseph bouyte lynnen cloth, and took hym doun, and wlappide in the lynnen cloth, and leide hym in a sepulcre that was hewun of a stoon, and walewide a stoon to the dore of the sepulcre. ⁴⁷ And Marie Maudeleyne and Marie of Joseph bihelden, where he was leid.

¹ And whanne the sabat was passid, Marie Maudeleyne, and Marie of James, and Salomee bouyten swete smellynge oynementis, to come and to anoynte Jhesu.

⁹ And Jhesus roos eerli the firste dai of the woke, and apperid firste to Marie Maudeleyne, fro whom he had caste out seuene deuelis.

²⁸ And the aungel entride to hir, and seide, Heil, ful of grace; the Lord be with thee; blessid be thou among wymmen.

³⁵ And a swerd schal passe thorou thin owne soule, that the thouytis ben schewid of many hertis.

⁴¹ And he answeride, Twei dettouris weren to o lener; and oon auyt fyue hundrid pans, and `the other fifti; but whanne thei hadden not wherof `thei schulden yeelde, he foryaf to bothe. Who thanne loueth hym more?

² and sum wymmen that weren heelid of wickid spiritis and sijknessis, Marie, that is clepid Maudeleyn, of whom seuene deuelis wenten out,

²³ And he seide to alle, If ony wole come aftir me, denye he hym silf, and take he his cross euery dai, and sue he me.

³¹ and Moises and Helie weren seen in maieste; and thei sayn his goyng out, which he schulde fulfille in Jerusalem.

¹¹ and seie ye, We wipen of ayens you the poudir that cleued to vs of youre citee; netheles wite ye this thing, that the rewme of God schal come nyy. ¹² Y seie to you, that to Sodom it schal be esiere than to that citee in that dai. ¹³ Wo to thee, Corosayn; wo to thee, Bethsaida; for if in Tyre and Sidon the vertues hadden be don, whiche han be don in you, sum tyme thei wolden haue sete in heyre and asches, and haue don penaunce. ¹⁴ Netheles to Tire and Sidon it schal be esiere in the doom than to you.

⁵ But Y schal schewe to you, whom ye schulen drede; drede ye hym, that aftir he hath slayn, he hath power to sende in to helle. And so Y seie to you, drede ye hym.

⁴⁷ But thilke seruaunt that knew the wille of his lord, and made not hym redi, and dide not aftir his wille, schal be betun with many betyngis. ⁴⁸ But he that knew not, and dide worthi thingis of strokis, schal be betun with fewe. For to eche man to whom myche is youun, myche schal be axid of hym; and thei schulen axe more of hym, to whom thei bitoken myche.

⁵⁰ And Y haue to be baptisid with a baptysm, and hou am Y constreyned, til that it be perfitli don?

²⁷ And he that berith not his cross, and cometh aftir me, may not be my disciple.

³¹ And Jhesus took hise twelue disciplis, and seide to hem, Lo! we gon vp to Jerusalem, and alle thingis schulen be endid, that ben writun bi the prophetis of mannus sone.

³³ and aftir that thei han scourgid, thei schulen sle hym, and the thridde dai he schal rise ayen.

²¹ Netheles lo! the hoond of hym that bitraieth me, is with me at the table. ²² And mannus sone goith, `aftir that it is determyned; netheles wo to that man, bi whom he schal be bitraied. ²³ And thei bigunnen to seke among hem, who it was of hem, that was to do this thing.

³⁷ For Y seie to you, that yit it bihoueth that thing that is writun to be fulfillid in me, And he is arettid with wickid men; for tho thingis that ben of me han ende.

⁵³ Whanne Y was ech dai with you in the temple, ye streiyten not out hondis in to me; but this is youre our, and the power of derknessis.

² And thei bigunnen to accuse hym, and seiden, We han foundun this turnynge vpsodoun oure folk, and forbedynge tributis to be youun to the emperour, and seiynge that hym silf is Crist and kyng. ³ And Pilat axide hym, and seide, Art thou kyng of Jewis? And he answeride, and seide, Thou seist. ⁴ And Pilat seide to the princis of prestis, and to the puple, Y fynde no thing of cause in this man.

⁴ And Pilat seide to the princis of prestis, and to the puple, Y fynde no thing of cause in this man. ⁵ And thei woxen stronger, and seiden, He moueth the puple, techynge thorou al Judee, bigynnynge fro Galile til hidir.

¹¹ But Eroude with his oost dispiside hym, and scornede hym, and clothide with a white cloth, and sente hym ayen to Pilat.

¹⁶ And therfor Y schal amende hym, and delyuere hym.

¹⁸ And al the puple criede togidir, and seide, Do `awei hym, and delyuer to vs Barabas;

²³ And thei contynueden with greet voicis axynge, that he schulde be crucified; and the voicis of hem woxen stronge. ²⁴ And Pilat demyde her axyng to be don. ²⁵ And he delyueride to hem hym, that for mansleyng and sedicioun was sent in to prisoun, whom thei axiden; but he bitook Jhesu to her wille. ²⁶ And whanne thei ledden hym, thei token a man, Symon of Syrenen, comynge fro the toun, and thei leiden on hym the cross to bere aftir Jhesu.

³² Also othere twei wickid men weren led with hym, to be slayn. ³³ And `aftir that thei camen in to a place, that is clepid of Caluerie, there thei crucifieden hym, and the theues, oon on the riyt half, and `the tother on the left half.

³³ And `aftir that thei camen in to a place, that is clepid of Caluerie, there thei crucifieden hym, and the theues, oon on the riyt half, and `the tother on the left half. ³⁴ But Jhesus seide, Fadir, foryyue hem, for thei witen not what thei doon.

³⁴ But Jhesus seide, Fadir, foryyue hem, for thei witen not what thei doon.

³⁶ And the knyytis neiyeden, and scorneden hym, and profreden vynegre to hym,

³⁸ And the superscripcioun was writun ouer hym with Greke lettris, and of Latyn, and of Ebreu, This is the kyng of Jewis. ³⁹ And oon of these theues that hangiden, blasfemyde hym, and seide, If thou art Crist, make thi silf saaf and vs. ⁴⁰ But `the tothir answerynge, blamyde hym, and seide, Nether thou dredist God, that art in the same dampnacioun? ⁴¹ And treuli we iustli, for we han resseiued worthi thingis to werkis; but this dide no thing of yuel.

⁴¹ And treuli we iustli, for we han resseiued worthi thingis to werkis; but this dide no thing of yuel. ⁴² And he seide to Jhesu, Lord, haue mynde of me, whanne thou comest `in to thi kyngdom. ⁴³ And Jhesus seide to hym, Treuli Y seie to thee, this dai thou schalt be with me in paradise.

⁴⁶ And Jhesus criynge with a greet vois, seide, Fadir, in to thin hoondis Y bitake my spirit. And he seiynge these thingis, yaf vp the goost. ⁴⁷ And the centurien seynge that thing that was don, glorifiede God, and seide, Verili this man was iust.

⁴⁹ But alle his knowun stoden afer, and wymmen that sueden hym fro Galile, seynge these thingis. ⁵⁰ And lo! a man, Joseph bi name, of Aramathie, a cite of Judee, that was a decurien, a good man and a iust, ⁵¹ this man concentide not to the counseil and to the dedis of hem; and he abood the kyngdom of God. ⁵² This Joseph cam to Pilat, and axide the bodi of Jhesu, ⁵³ and took it doun, and wlappide it in a cleene lynen cloth, and leide hym in a graue hewun, in which not yit ony man hadde be leid.

⁵³ and took it doun, and wlappide it in a cleene lynen cloth, and leide hym in a graue hewun, in which not yit ony man hadde be leid. ⁵⁴ And the dai was the euen of the halidai, and the sabat bigan to schyne.

⁵⁴ And the dai was the euen of the halidai, and the sabat bigan to schyne. ⁵⁵ And the wymmen suynge, that camen with hym fro Galile, sayn the graue, and hou his bodi was leid. ⁵⁶ And thei turneden ayen, and maden redi swete smellynge spicis, and oynementis; but in the sabat thei restiden, aftir the comaundement.

¹² But Petir roos vp, and ran to the graue; and he bowide doun, and say the lynen clothis liynge aloone. And he wente bi him silf, wondrynge on that that was don.

¹⁸ And oon, whos name was Cleofas, answerde, and seide, Thou thi silf art a pilgrym in Jerusalem, and hast thou not knowun, what thingis ben don in it in these daies?

¹¹ He cam in to his owne thingis, and hise resseyueden hym not.

²⁹ Anothir day Joon say Jhesu comynge to hym, and he seide, Lo! the lomb of God; lo! he that doith awei the synnes of the world.

⁴⁵ Filip foond Nathanael, and seide to hym, We han foundun Jhesu, the sone of Joseph, of Nazareth, whom Moyses wroot in the lawe and profetis. ⁴⁶ And Nathanael seide to hym, Of Nazareth may sum good thing be?

⁴⁹ `and seide, Rabi, thou art the sone of God, thou art kyng of Israel.

⁴ And Jhesus seith to hir, What to me and to thee, womman? myn our cam not yit.

¹ And there was a man of the Farisees, Nychodeme bi name, a prince of the Jewis. ² And he cam to Jhesu bi niyt, and seide to hym, Rabi, we witen, that thou art comun fro God maister; for no man may do these signes, that thou doist, but God be with hym. ³ Jhesus answerde, and seide to hym, Treuli, treuli, Y seie to thee, but a man be borun ayen, he may not se the kyngdom of God. ⁴ Nychodeme seide to hym, Hou may a man be borun, whanne he is eeld? whether he may entre ayen in to his modris wombe, and be borun ayen? ⁵ Jhesus answeride, Treuli, treuli, Y seie to thee, but a man be borun ayen of watir, and of the Hooli Goost, he may not entre in to the kyngdom of God. ⁶ `That that is borun of the fleisch, is fleisch; and `that that is borun of spirit, is spirit. ⁷ Wondre thou not, for Y seide to thee, It bihoueth you to be borun ayen. ⁸ The spirit brethith where he wole, and thou herist his vois, but thou wost not, fro whennus he cometh, ne whidir he goith; so is ech man that is borun of the spirit. ⁹ Nychodeme answeride, and seide to hym, Hou moun these thingis be don? ¹⁰ Jhesus answeride, and seide to hym, Thou art a maister in Israel, and knowist not these thingis? ¹¹ Treuli, treuli, Y seie to thee, for we speken that that we witen, and we witnessen that that we han seyn, and ye taken not oure witnessyng. ¹² If Y haue seid to you ertheli thingis, and ye bileuen not, hou if Y seie to you heueneli thingis, schulen ye bileue? ¹³ And no man stieth in to heuene, but he that cam doun fro heuene, mannys sone that is in heuene. ¹⁴ And as Moises areride a serpent in desert, so it bihoueth mannys sone to be reisid, ¹⁵ that ech man that bileueth in hym, perische not, but haue euerlastynge lijf. ¹⁶ For God louede so the world, that he yaf his `oon bigetun sone, that ech man that bileueth in him perische not, but haue euerlastynge lijf. <sup>17</sup> For God sente not his sone in to the world, that he iuge the world, but that the world be saued bi him. <sup>18</sup> He that bileueth in hym, is not demed; but he that bileueth not, is now demed, for he bileueth not in the name of the `oon bigetun sone of God. ¹⁹ And this is the dom, for liyt cam in to the world, and men loueden more derknessis than liyt; for her werkes weren yuele. ²⁰ For ech man that doith yuele, hatith the liyt; and he cometh not to the liyt, that hise werkis be not repreued. ²¹ But he that doith treuthe, cometh to the liyt, that hise werkis be schewid, that thei ben don in God.

²⁷ Joon answerde, and seide, A man may not take ony thing, but it be youun to hym fro heuene.

³⁴ Jhesus seith to hem, My mete is, that Y do the wille of hym that sente me, that Y perfourme the werk of hym.

² And in Jerusalem is a waissynge place, that in Ebrew is named Bethsaida, and hath fyue porchis.

¹⁸ Therfor the Jewis souyten more to sle hym, for not oneli he brak the sabat, but he seide that God was his fadir, and made hym euene to God.

¹³ netheles no man spak opynli of hym, for drede of the Jewis.

³⁰ Therfor thei souyten to take hym, and no man sette on hym hoondis, for his our cam not yit.

⁵⁰ Nychodeme seith to hem, he that cam to hym bi nyyt, that was oon of hem, Whethir oure lawe demith a man, ⁵¹ but it haue first herde of hym, and knowe what he doith? ⁵² Thei answeriden, and seiden to hym, Whether thou art a man of Galilee also? Seke thou scripturis, and se thou, that a prophete risith not of Galilee.

¹⁴ Jhesus answerde, and seide to hem, And if Y bere witnessyng of my silf, my witnessyng is trewe; for Y woot fro whennus Y cam, and whidur Y go.

⁵⁸ Therfor Jhesus seide to hem, Treuli, treuli, Y seie to you, bifor that Abraham schulde be, Y am. ⁵⁹ Therfor thei token stonys, to caste to hym; but Jhesus hidde hym, and wente out of the temple.

²² His fader and modir seiden these thingis, for thei dredden the Jewis; for thanne the Jewis hadden conspirid, that if ony man knoulechide hym Crist, he schulde be don out of the synagoge.

²⁹ We witen, that God spak to Moises; but we knowen not this, of whennus he is. ³⁰ Thilke man answeride, and seide to hem, For in this is a wondurful thing, that ye witen not, of whennus he is, and he hath openyd myn iyen.

⁴¹ Jhesus seide to hem, If ye weren blynde, ye schulden not haue synne; but now ye seien, That we seen, youre synne dwellith stille.

¹¹ I am a good scheepherde; a good scheepherde yyueth his lijf for hise scheep.

¹⁸ No man takith it fro me, but Y putte it of my silf. Y haue power to putte it, and Y haue power to take it ayen. This maundement Y haue takun of my fadir.

³⁰ Y and the fadir ben oon. ³¹ The Jewis token vp stoonys, to stoone hym. ³² Jhesus answerde to hem, Y haue schewide to you many good werkis of my fadir, for which werk of hem stonen ye me? ³³ The Jewis answerden to hym, We stoonen thee not of good werk, but of blasfemye, and for thou, sithen thou art a man, makist thi silf God.

³⁵ Yf he seide that thei weren goddis, to whiche the word of God was maad, and scripture may not be vndon, ³⁶ thilke that the fadir hath halewid, and hath sent in to the world, ye seien, That `thou blasfemest, for Y seide, Y am Goddis sone? ³⁷ Yf Y do not the werkis of my fadir, nyle ye bileue to me; ³⁸ but if Y do, thouy ye wolen not bileue to me, bileue ye to the werkis; that ye knowe and bileue, that the fadir is in me, and Y in the fadir.

¹⁵ and Y haue ioye for you, that ye bileue, for Y was not there; but go we to hym.

⁴² that thou euermore herist me, but for the puple that stondith aboute, Y seide, that thei bileue, that thou hast sent me.

⁴⁴ And anoon he that was deed, cam out, boundun the hondis and feet with boondis, and his face boundun with a sudarie. And Jhesus seith to hem, Vnbynde ye hym, and suffre ye hym to go forth.

⁴⁹ But oon of hem, Cayfas bi name, whanne he was bischop of that yeer, seide to hem, ⁵⁰ Ye witen nothing, ne thenken, that it spedith to you, that o man die for the puple, and that al the folc perische not.

⁷ Therfor Jhesus seide, Suffre ye hir, that in to the day of my biriyng sche kepe that;

³⁸ that the word of Ysaie, the prophete, schulde be fulfillid, which he seide, Lord, who bileuede to oure heryng, and to whom is the arm of the Lord schewid? ³⁹ Therfor thei myyten not bileue, for eft Ysaye seide,

⁴² Netheles `of the pryncis manye bileueden in hym, but for the Farisees thei knowlechiden not, that thei schulden not be put out of the synagoge;

¹ Bifor the `feeste dai of pask Jhesus witynge, that his our is comun, that he passe fro this world to the fadir, whanne he hadde loued hise that weren in the world, in to the ende he louede hem.

⁸ Petre seith to hym, Thou schalt neuere waische my feet. Jhesus answeride to hym, If Y schal not waische thee, thou schalt not haue part with me. ⁹ Symount Petre seith to hym, Lord, not oneli my feet, but bothe the hoondis and the heed. ¹⁰ Jhesus seide to hym, He that is waischun, hath no nede but that he waische the feet, but he is al clene; and ye ben clene, but not alle.

²³ And so oon of hise disciplis was restynge in the bosum of Jhesu, whom Jhesu louede.

²⁹ And now Y haue seid to you, bifor that it be don, that whanne it is don, ye bileuen.

²² If Y hadde not comun, and hadde not spokun to hem, thei schulden not haue synne; but now thei haue noon excusacioun of her synne. ²³ He that hatith me, hatith also my fadir. ²⁴ If Y hadde not doon werkis in hem, whiche noon other man dide, thei schulden not haue synne; but now both thei han seyn, and hatid me and my fadir.

³² Lo! the our cometh, and now it cometh, that ye be disparplid, ech in to hise owne thingis, and that ye leeue me aloone; and Y am not aloone, for the fadir is with me.

⁴ Y haue clarified thee on the erthe, Y haue endid the werk, that thou hast youun to me to do.

²⁰ And Y preye not oneli for hem, but also for hem that schulden bileue in to me bi the word of hem; ²¹ that all ben oon, as thou, fadir, in me, and Y in thee, that also thei in vs be oon; that the world bileue, that thou hast sent me.

³ Therfor whanne Judas hadde takun a cumpany of knyytis, and mynystris of the bischopis and of the Fariseis, he cam thidur with lanternys, and brondis, and armeris. ⁴ And so Jhesus witynge alle thingis that weren to come on hym, wente forth, and seide to hem, Whom seken ye?

²² Whanne he hadde seid these thingis, oon of the mynystris stondynge niy, yaf a buffat to Jhesu, and seide, Answerist thou so to the bischop?

²⁸ Thanne thei ledden Jhesu to Cayfas, in to the moot halle; and it was eerli, and thei entriden not in to the moot halle, that thei schulden not be defoulid, but that thei schulden ete pask. ²⁹ Therfor Pilat wente out with outforth to hem, and seide, What accusyng brynge ye ayens this man? ³⁰ Thei answeriden, and seiden to hym, If this were not a mysdoere, we hadden not bitakun hym to thee. ³¹ Thanne Pilat seith to hem, Take ye hym, and deme ye him, after youre lawe. And the Jewis seiden to hym, It is not leueful to vs to sle ony man;

³¹ Thanne Pilat seith to hem, Take ye hym, and deme ye him, after youre lawe. And the Jewis seiden to hym, It is not leueful to vs to sle ony man; ³² that the word of Jhesu schulde be fulfillid, whiche he seide, signifiynge bi what deth he schulde die.

³² that the word of Jhesu schulde be fulfillid, whiche he seide, signifiynge bi what deth he schulde die. ³³ Therfor eftsoone Pilat entride in to the moot halle, and clepide Jhesu, and seide to hym, Art thou kyng of Jewis?

³³ Therfor eftsoone Pilat entride in to the moot halle, and clepide Jhesu, and seide to hym, Art thou kyng of Jewis? ³⁴ Jhesus answerde, and seide to hym, Seist thou this thing of thi silf, ether othere han seid to thee of me? ³⁵ Pilat answeride, Whether Y am a Jewe? Thi folc and bischops bitoken thee to me; what hast thou don? ³⁶ Jhesus answeride, My kingdom is not of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, my mynystris schulden stryue, that Y schulde not be takun to the Jewis; but now my kingdom is not here. ³⁷ And so Pilat seide to hym, Thanne `thou art a king. Jhesus answeride, Thou seist, that Y am a king. To this thing Y am borun, and to this Y `am comun in to the world, to bere witnessing to treuthe. Eche that is of treuthe, herith my vois. ³⁸ Pilat seith to hym, What is treuthe? And whanne he hadde seid this thing, eft he wente out to the Jewis, and seide to hem, Y fynde no cause in hym. ³⁹ But it is a custom to you, that Y delyuere oon to you in pask; therfor wole ye that Y delyuere to you the kyng of Jewis?

¹ Therfor Pilat took thanne Jhesu, and scourgide. ² And kniytis writhen a coroun of thornes, and setten on his heed, and diden aboute hym a cloth of purpur, ³ and camen to him, and seiden, Heil, kyng of Jewis. And thei yauen to him buffatis. ⁴ Eftsoone Pilat wente out, and seide to hem, Lo! Y brynge hym out to you, that ye knowe, that Y fynde no cause in him. ⁵ And so Jhesus wente out, berynge a coroun of thornes, and a cloth of purpur. And he seith to hem, Lo! the man. ⁶ But whanne the bischopis and mynystris hadden seyn hym, thei crieden, and seiden, Crucifie, crucifie hym. Pilat seith to hem, Take ye hym, and crucifie ye, for Y fynde no cause in hym.

⁸ Therfor whanne Pilat hadde herd this word, he dredde the more.

¹² Fro that tyme Pilat souyte to delyuere hym; but the Jewis crieden, and seiden, If thou delyuerist this man, thou art not the emperouris freend; for ech man that makith hym silf king, ayen seith the emperoure. ¹³ And Pilat, whanne he hadde herd these wordis, ledde Jhesu forth, and sat for domesman in a place, that is seid Licostratos, but in Ebrew Golgatha. ¹⁴ And it was pask eue, as it were the sixte our. And he seith to the Jewis, Lo! youre king. ¹⁵ But thei crieden, and seiden, Take awei, take awei; crucifie him. Pilat seith to hem, Schal I crucifie youre king? The bischops answeriden, We han no king but the emperour.

¹⁸ where thei crucifieden him, and othere tweyne with him, oon on this side and oon on that side, and Jhesus in the myddil. ¹⁹ And Pilat wroot a title, and sette on the cros; and it was writun, Jhesu of Nazareth, king of Jewis.

¹⁹ And Pilat wroot a title, and sette on the cros; and it was writun, Jhesu of Nazareth, king of Jewis. ²⁰ Therfor manye of the Jewis redden this title, for the place where Jhesus was crucified, was niy the citee, and it was writun in Ebreu, Greek, and Latyn.

²⁰ Therfor manye of the Jewis redden this title, for the place where Jhesus was crucified, was niy the citee, and it was writun in Ebreu, Greek, and Latyn. ²¹ Therfor the bischops of the Jewis seiden to Pilat, Nyle thou write kyng of Jewis, but for he seide, Y am king of Jewis.

²¹ Therfor the bischops of the Jewis seiden to Pilat, Nyle thou write kyng of Jewis, but for he seide, Y am king of Jewis. ²² Pilat answeride, That that Y haue writun, Y haue writun.

²⁴ Therfor thei seiden togidere, Kitte we not it, but caste we lot, whos it is; that the scripture be fulfillid, seiynge, Thei partiden my clothis to hem, and on my cloth thei casten lot. And the kniytis diden these thingis.

²⁶ Therfor whanne Jhesu hadde seyn his modir, and the disciple stondynge, whom he louyde, he seith to hise modir, Womman, lo thi sone.

²⁸ Aftirward Jhesus witynge, that now alle thingis ben endid, that the scripture were fulfillid, he seith, Y thirste.

³⁰ Therfor whanne Jhesus hadde `takun the vynegre, he seid, It is endid. And `whanne his heed was bowid doun, `he yaf vp the goost. ³¹ Therfor for it was the pask eue, that the bodies schulden not abide on the cros in the sabat, for that was a greet sabat dai, the Jewis preiden Pilat, that the hipis of hem schulden be brokun, and thei takun awei.

³¹ Therfor for it was the pask eue, that the bodies schulden not abide on the cros in the sabat, for that was a greet sabat dai, the Jewis preiden Pilat, that the hipis of hem schulden be brokun, and thei takun awei. ³² Therfor knyytis camen, and thei braken the thies of the firste, and of the tothere, that was crucified with hym.

³⁶ And these thingis weren don, that the scripture schulde be fulfillid, Ye schulen not breke a boon of hym. ³⁷ And eftsoone another scripture seith, Thei schulen se in whom thei piyten thorow.

⁴¹ And in the place where he was crucified, was a yerd, and in the yerd a newe graue, in which yit no man was leid. ⁴² Therfor there thei putten Jhesu, for the vigilie of Jewis feeste, for the sepulcre was niy.

¹ And in o dai of the wouke Marie Maudeleyn cam eerli to the graue, whanne it was yit derk. And sche say the stoon moued awei fro the graue. ² Therfor sche ran, and cam to Symount Petre, and to another disciple, whom Jhesus louede, and seith to hem, Thei han takun the Lord fro the graue, and we witen not, where thei han leid hym.

⁵ And whanne he stoupide, he sai the schetis liynge, netheles he entride not. ⁶ Therfor Symount Petre cam suynge hym, and he entride in to the graue, and he say the schetis leid, ⁷ and the sudarie that was on his heed, not leid with the schetis, but bi it silf wlappid in to a place.

¹¹ But Marie stood at the graue with outforth wepynge. And the while sche wepte, sche bowide hir, and bihelde forth in to the graue. ¹² And sche sai twei aungels sittinge in white, oon at the heed and oon at the feet, where the bodi of Jhesu was leid. ¹³ And thei seien to hir, Womman, what wepist thou? Sche seide to hem, For thei han take awei my lord, and Y woot not, where thei han leid him. ¹⁴ Whanne sche hadde seid these thingis, sche turnede bacward, and sai Jhesu stondinge, and wiste not that it was Jhesu. ¹⁵ Jhesus seith to hir, Womman, what wepist thou? whom sekist thou? She gessynge that he was a gardynere, seith to him, Sire, if thou hast takun him vp, seie to me, where thou hast leid him, and Y schal take hym awei.

¹⁵ Jhesus seith to hir, Womman, what wepist thou? whom sekist thou? She gessynge that he was a gardynere, seith to him, Sire, if thou hast takun him vp, seie to me, where thou hast leid him, and Y schal take hym awei. ¹⁶ Jhesus seith to hir, Marie. Sche `turnede, and seith to hym, Rabony, that is to seie, Maister. ¹⁷ Jhesus seith to hir, Nyle thou touche me, for Y haue not yit stied to my fadir; but go to my britheren, and seie to hem, Y stie to my fadir and to youre fadir, to my God and to youre God. ¹⁸ Marie Maudeleyne cam, tellinge to the disciplis, That Y sai the Lord, and these thingis he seide to me.

³¹ But these ben writun, that ye bileue, that Jhesus `is Crist, the sone of God, and that ye bileuynge haue lijf in his name.

⁷ Therfor thilke disciple, whom Jhesus louede, seide to Petre, It is the Lord. Symount Petre, whanne he hadde herd that it is the Lord, girte hym with a coote, for he was nakid, and wente in to the see.

²⁰ Petre turnede, and say thilke disciple suynge, whom Jhesus louede, which also restid in the soper on his brest, and he seide to hym, Lord, who is it, that schal bitraie thee?

²⁴ This is thilke disciple, that berith witnessyng of these thingis, and wroot hem; and we witen, that his witnessyng is trewe.

²³ as ye witen, ye turmentiden, and killiden hym bi the hoondis of wyckid men, bi counseil determyned and bitakun bi the forknouwyng of God.

⁶ But Petre seide, Y haue nether siluer ne gold; but that that Y haue, Y yiue to thee. In the name of Jhesu Crist of Nazareth, rise thou vp, and go.

¹³ God of Abraham, and God of Ysaac, and God of Jacob, God of oure fadris, hath glorified his sone Jhesu, whom ye bitraieden, and denyeden bifor the face of Pilat, whanne he demede hym to be delyuered.

¹³ God of Abraham, and God of Ysaac, and God of Jacob, God of oure fadris, hath glorified his sone Jhesu, whom ye bitraieden, and denyeden bifor the face of Pilat, whanne he demede hym to be delyuered. ¹⁴ But ye denyeden the hooli and the riytful, and axiden a mansleer to be youun to you. ¹⁵ And ye slowen the maker of lijf, whom God reiside fro deth, of whom we ben witnessis.

¹⁹ But Petre and Joon answeriden, and seiden to hem, If it be riytful in the siyt of God to here you rather than God, deme ye.

²⁸ whom thou anoyntidist, to do the thingis, that thin hoond and thi counsel demyden to be don.

⁶ And yonge men risen, and mouyden hym awei, and baren hym out, and birieden.

⁵² Whom of the profetis han not youre fadris pursued, and han slayn hem that bifor telden of the comyng of the riytful man, whos traitouris and mansleeris ye weren now?

⁵⁸ And thei stonyden Steuene, that clepide God to help, seiynge, Lord Jhesu, resseyue my spirit.

³² And the place of the scripture that he redde, was this, As a scheep he was led to sleyng, and as a lomb bifor a man that scherith him is doumb with out vois, so he openyde not his mouth. ³³ In mekenesse his dom was takun vp; who schal telle out the generacioun of hym? For his lijf schal be takun awei fro the erthe.

³⁹ And we ben witnessis of alle thingis, whiche he dide in the cuntrei of Jewis, and of Jerusalem; whom thei slowen, hangynge in a tre.

²⁷ For thei that dwelliden at Jerusalem, and princis of it, that knewen not this Jhesu, and the voicis of prophetis, that by euery sabat ben red, demyden, and filliden;

²⁷ For thei that dwelliden at Jerusalem, and princis of it, that knewen not this Jhesu, and the voicis of prophetis, that by euery sabat ben red, demyden, and filliden; ²⁸ and thei founden in hym no cause of deth, and axiden of Pilat, that thei schulden sle hym. ²⁹ And whanne thei hadden endid alle thingis that weren writun of hym, thei token hym doun of the tre, and leiden hym in a graue.

²⁹ And whanne thei hadden endid alle thingis that weren writun of hym, thei token hym doun of the tre, and leiden hym in a graue.

¹¹ And thei clepiden Barnabas Jubiter, and Poul Mercurie, for he was ledere of the word. ¹² And the preest of Jubiter that was bifor the citee, brouyte boolis and crownes bifor the yatis, with puplis, and wolde haue maad sacrifice. ¹³ And whanne the apostlis Barnabas and Poul herden this, thei to-renten her cootis; and thei skipten out among the puple, ¹⁴ and crieden, and seiden, Men, what don ye this thing? and we ben deedli men lijk you, and schewen to you, that ye be conuertid fro these veyn thingis to the lyuynge God, that maad heuene, and erthe, and the see, and alle thingis that ben in hem; ¹⁵ which in generaciouns passid suffride alle folkis to gon in to her owne weies. ¹⁶ And yit he lefte not hym silf with out witnessing in wel doyng, for he yaf reyns fro heuene, and times beringe fruyt, and fulfillide youre hertis with meete and gladnesse. ¹⁷ And thei seiynge these thingis, vnnethis swagiden the puple, that thei offriden not to hem. ¹⁸ But sum Jewis camen ouer fro Antioche and Iconye, and counseilden the puple, and stonyden Poul, and drowen out of the citee, and gessiden that he was deed. ¹⁹ But whanne disciplis weren comun aboute him, he roos, and wente in to the citee; and in the dai suynge he wente forth with Barnabas in to Derben.

²² And the puple `and magistratis runnen ayens hem, and when thei hadden to-rente the cootis of hem, thei comaundiden hem to be betun with yerdis. ²³ And whanne thei hadden youun to hem many woundis, thei senten hem into prisoun, and comaundiden to the kepere, that he schulde kepe hem diligentli.

⁶ And whanne thei founden hem not, thei drowen Jasoun and summe britheren to the princis of the citee, and crieden, That these it ben, that mouen the world, and hidir thei camen, ⁷ whiche Jason resseyuede. And these alle don ayens the maundementis of the emperour, and seien, that Jhesu is anothir king.

³⁶ For the multitude of the puple suede hym, and criede, Take hym awei. ³⁷ And whanne Poul bigan to be led in to the castels, he seide to the tribune, Whether it is leueful `to me, to speke ony thing to thee?

⁴⁰ And whanne he suffride, Poul stood in the grees, and bikenede with the hoond to the puple. And whanne a greet silence was maad, he spak in Ebrew tunge, and seide,

² And whanne sum herden that in Ebrew tunge he spak to hem, thei yauen the more silence.

¹⁶ And now, what dwellist thou? Rise vp, and be baptisid, and waische awei thi synnes, bi the name of hym clepid to help.

²² And thei herden him til this word; and thei reiseden her vois, and seiden, Take awei fro the erthe siche a maner man; for it is not leueful, that he lyue.

²⁴ the tribune comaundide hym to be led in to castels, and to be betun with scourgis, and to be turmentid, that he wiste, for what cause thei crieden so to him. ²⁵ And whanne thei hadden boundun hym with cordis, Poul seide to a centurien stondinge niy to hym, Whether it is leueful to you, to scourge a Romayn, and vndampned?

²⁴ And after summe dayes Felix cam, with Drussille his wijf, that was a Jewesse, and clepide Poul, and herde of him the feith that is in Crist Jhesu. ²⁵ And while he disputide of riytwisnesse, and chastite, and of dom to comynge, Felix was maad tremblinge, and answerde, That perteneth now, go; but in tyme couenable Y schal clepe thee. ²⁶ Also he hopide, that money schulde be youun to hym of Poul; for which thing eft he clepide hym, and spak with hym. ²⁷ And whanne twei yeeris weren fillid, Felix took a successoure, Porcius Festus; and Felix wolde yyue grace to Jewis, and lefte Poul boundun.

⁹ And sotheli Y gesside, that Y ouyte do many contrarie thingis ayens the name of Jhesu Nazarene.

¹⁴ And whanne we alle hadden falle doun in to the erthe, Y herde a vois seiynge to me in Ebrew tunge, Saul, Saul, what pursuest thou me? it is hard to thee, to kicke ayens the pricke.

⁴ and he was bifor ordeyned the sone of God in vertu, bi the spirit of halewyng of the ayenrisyng of deed men, of Jhesu Crist oure Lord,

²⁵ Whom God ordeynede foryyuer, bi feith in his blood, to the schewyng of his riytwisnesse, for remyssioun of biforgoynge synnes,

⁴ For the ende of the lawe is Crist, to riytwisnesse to ech man that bileueth.

³⁶ For of hym, and bi hym, and in hym ben alle thingis. To hym be glorie in to worldis. Amen.

¹ Euery soule be suget to heiyere powers. For ther is no power but of God, and tho thingis that ben of God, ben ordeyned.

⁴ For what euere thingis ben writun, tho ben writun to oure techynge, that bi pacience and coumfort of scripturis we haue hope.

³⁰ But of hym ye ben in Crist Jhesu, which is maad of God to vs wisdom, and riytwisnesse, and holynesse, and ayenbiyng; that,

⁷ Clense ye out the old sourdow, that ye be new sprengyng togidere, as ye ben therf. For Crist offrid is oure pask.

¹¹ And ye weren sum tyme these thingis; but ye ben waischun, but ye ben halewid, but ye ben iustefied in the name of oure Lord Jhesu Crist, and in the spirit of oure God.

⁴ and that he was biried, and that he roos ayen in the thridde dai, after scripturis;

²¹ God the fadir made hym synne for vs, which knewe not synne, that we schulden be maad riytwisnesse of God in hym.

²⁴ Y resseyuede of the Jewis fyue sithis fourti strokis oon lesse;

¹³ But Crist ayenbouyte us fro the curse of the lawe, and was maad acursid for vs; for it is writun, Ech man is cursid that hangith in the tre;

²⁶ and clenside it with the waisching of watir, in the word of lijf,

¹⁴ that mo of britheren tristinge in the Lord more plenteuously for my boondis, dursten without drede speke the word of God.

²⁸ And in no thing be ye aferd of aduersaries, which is to hem cause of perdicioun,

⁸ He mekide hym silf, and was maad obedient to the deth, yhe, to the deth of the cross.

¹² and ye ben biried togidere with hym in baptim, in whom also ye han rise ayen bi feith of the worching of God, that reiside hym fro deth.

¹⁴ foryyuynge to you alle giltis, doynge awei that writing of decre that was ayens vs, that was contrarie to vs; and he took awei that fro the myddil, pitchinge it on the cros; ¹⁵ and he spuylide principatis and poweris, and ledde out tristili, opynli ouercomynge hem in hym silf. ¹⁶ Therfor no man iuge you in mete, or in drink, or in part of feeste dai, or of neomenye, ¹⁷ or of sabatis, whiche ben schadewe of thingis to comynge; for the bodi is of Crist.

³ Honoure thou widewis, that ben very widewis. ⁴ But if ony widewe hath children of sones, lerne sche first to gouerne her hous, and quyte to fadir and modir; for this thing is acceptid bifor God.

¹⁴ that yaf hym silf for vs, to ayenbie vs fro al wickidnesse, and make clene to hym silf a puple acceptable, and suere of good werkis.

⁵ not of werkis of riytwisnesse that we diden, but bi his merci he made vs saaf, bi waischyng of ayen bigetyng, and ayen newyng of the Hooli Goost, ⁶ whom he schedde into vs plenteuousli bi Jhesu Crist, ⁷ oure saueour, that we iustified bi his grace, ben eiris by hope of euerlastinge lijf.

³ hou schulen we ascape, if we despisen so greet an heelthe? Which, whanne it hadde takun bigynnyng to be teld out by the Lord, of hem that herden is confermyd in to vs. ⁴ For God witnesside to gidere bi myraclis, and wondris, and grete merueilis, and dyuerse vertues, and departyngis of the Hooli Goost, bi his wille.

¹⁴ Therfor for children comyneden to fleisch and blood, and he also took part of the same, that bi deth he schulde destrie hym that hadde lordschipe of deth, that is to seie, the deuel, ¹⁵ and that he schulde delyuere hem that bi drede of deth, `bi al lijf weren boundun to seruage.

⁴ But it is impossible, that thei that ben onys liytned, and `han tastid also an heuenly yifte, and ben maad parceneris of the Hooli Goost, ⁵ and netheles han tastid the good word of God, and the vertues of the world to comynge, and ben slidun fer awei, ⁶ that thei be renewid eftsoone to penaunce. Whiche eftsones crucifien to hem silf the sone of God, and han to scorn. ⁷ For the erthe that drinkith reyn ofte comynge on it, and bringith forth couenable erbe to hem of whiche it is tilid, takith blessing of God. ⁸ But that that is bringinge forth thornes and breris, is repreuable, and next to curs, whos endyng schal be in to brennyng.

²⁶ For it bisemyde that sich a man were a bischop to vs, hooli, innocent, vndefoulid, clene, departid fro synful men, and maad hiyere than heuenes;

¹¹ But Crist beynge a bischop of goodis to comynge, entride bi a largere and perfitere tabernacle, not maad bi hoond, that is to seye, ¹² not of this makyng, nether bi blood of goot buckis, or of calues, but bi his owne blood, entride onys in to the hooli thingis, that weren foundun bi an euerlastinge redempcioun. ¹³ For if the blood of gootbuckis, and of boolis, and the aische of a cow calf spreynd, halewith vnclene men to the clensing of fleisch,

¹³ For if the blood of gootbuckis, and of boolis, and the aische of a cow calf spreynd, halewith vnclene men to the clensing of fleisch, ¹⁴ hou myche more the blood of Crist, which bi the Hooli Goost offride hym silf vnwemmyd to God, schal clense oure conscience fro deed werkis, to serue God that lyueth?

²² And almest alle thingis ben clensid in blood bi the lawe; and without scheding of blood remyssioun of synnes is not maad.

²² And almest alle thingis ben clensid in blood bi the lawe; and without scheding of blood remyssioun of synnes is not maad.

¹⁹ Therfor, britheren, hauynge trist in to the entring of hooli thingis in the blood of Crist, ²⁰ which halewide to vs a newe weie, and lyuynge bi the hiling, that is to seie, ²¹ his fleisch, and we hauynge the greet preest on the hous of God, ²² neiye we with very herte in the plente of feith; and be oure hertis spreined fro an yuel conscience, and oure bodies waischun with clene watir,

³⁶ And othere asaieden scornyngis and betingis, more ouer and boondis and prisouns.

² biholdinge in to the makere of feith, and the perfit endere, Jhesu; which whanne ioye was purposid to hym, he suffride the cros, and dispiside confusioun, and sittith on the riythalf of the seet of God.

¹¹ For of whiche beestis the blood is borun in for synne in to hooli thingis bi the bischop, the bodies of hem ben brent with out the castels. ¹² For which thing Jhesu, that he schulde halewe the puple bi his blood, suffride with out the gate.

¹² For which thing Jhesu, that he schulde halewe the puple bi his blood, suffride with out the gate. ¹³ Therfor go we out to hym with out the castels, berynge his repreef.

¹⁷ Ech good yifte, and ech perfit yifte is from aboue, and cometh doun fro the fadir of liytis, anentis whom is noon other chaungyng, ne ouerschadewyng of reward.

¹⁷ Therfor it is synne to hym, that kan do good, and doith not.

¹⁹ but bi the precious blood as of the lomb vndefoulid and vnspottid,

²² Which dide not synne, nethir gile was foundun in his mouth.

²⁴ And he hym silf bar oure synnes in his bodi on a tre, that we be deed to synnes, and lyue to riytwisnesse, bi whos wan wounde ye ben heelid.

¹⁸ For also Crist onys diede for oure synnes, he iust for vniust, that he schulde offre to God vs, maad deed in fleisch, but maad quik in spirit.

²¹ And so baptym of lijk forme makith vs saaf; not the puttyng awei of the filthis of fleisch, but the axyng of a good conscience in God, bi the ayenrysyng of oure Lord Jhesu Crist, that is in the riyt half of God,

¹ Therfor Y, an euene eldre man, and a witnesse of Cristis passiouns, which also am a comynere of that glorie, that schal be schewid in tyme to comynge; byseche ye the eldre men,

¹ That thing that was fro the bigynnyng, which we herden, which we sayn with oure iyen, which we bihelden, and oure hondis touchiden, of the word of lijf; and the lijf is schewid. ² And we sayn, and we witnessen, and tellen to you the euerlastynge lijf, that was anentis the fadir, and apperide to vs. ³ Therfor `we tellen to you that thing, that we seyn, and herden, that also ye haue felowschipe with vs, and oure felowschip be with the fadir, and with his sone Jhesu Crist.

⁶ If we seien, that we han felawschip with hym, and we wandren in derknessis, we lien, and don not treuthe. ⁷ But if we walken in liyt, as also he is in liyt, we han felawschip togidere; and the blood of Jhesu Crist, his sone, clensith vs fro al synne. ⁸ If we seien, that we han no synne, we disseyuen vs silf, and treuthe is not in vs. ⁹ If we knowlechen oure synnes, he is feithful and iust, that he foryyue to vs oure synnes, and clense vs from al wickidnesse.

⁵ And ye witen, that he apperide to do awei synnes, and synne is not in hym.

¹⁸ Mi litle sones, loue we not in word, nethir in tunge, but in werk and treuthe. ¹⁹ In this thing we knowen, that we ben of treuthe, and in his siyt we monesten oure hertis.

⁶ This is Jhesus Crist, that cam bi watir and blood; not in water oonli, but in watir and blood. And the spirit is he that witnessith, that Crist is treuthe.

⁸ `And thre ben, that yyuen witnessing in erthe, the spirit, water, and blood; and these thre ben oon.

¹³ I write to you these thingis, that ye wite, that ye han euerlastynge lijf, which bileuen in the name of Goddis sone.

⁵ that is a feithful witnesse, the firste bigetun of deed men, and prince of kingis of the erthe; which louyde vs, and waischide vs fro oure synnes in his blood,

⁷ Amen. Lo! he cometh with clowdis, and ech iye schal se hym, and thei that prickiden hym; and alle the kynredis of the erthe schulen beweile hem silf on hym.

¹⁴ And Y seide to hym, My lord, thou woost. And he seide to me, These ben thei, that camen fro greet tribulacioun, and waischiden her stoolis, and maden hem white in the blood of the lomb.

¹¹ And thei hadden on hem a kyng, the aungel of depnesse, to whom the name bi Ebrew is Laabadon, but bi Greek Appollion, and bi Latyn `he hath a name `Extermynans, that is, a distriere.

¹⁶ And he schal gadre hem in to a place, that is clepid in Ebreu Hermagedon.
