This is [Om. b.] Joon euangelist [the euangelist oek.] , oon of the [Om. O.] disciplis of the Lord, the which is [was C.] a virgyn chosun of God, whom God clepide fro the sposeilis, whanne he wolde be weddid; and double witnesse [witnessing T.] of virginyte is ȝouun to hym in the gospel; in this that he is seid loued of God byfor othere disciplis, and God [the Lorde T.] hongynge in [on NT.] the cros bitook his modir in kepyng to hym, that a virgyn schulde kepe a virgyn. This Joon in the gospel bigynneth aloone the werk of vncorruptible word, and witnessith, that the kyndeli sone of God is [was k pr. m.] maad man, and that [at O. Om. S.] the liȝt was not takun of derknessis [derkenesse T.] ; and he schewith the firste myracle, whiche God [that God T.] dide at the weddyngis, to schewe where the Lord is preyed to the feeste, the [that E.] wyn of the [Om. IK pr. m. QRS gk pr. m.] weddyngis owith to faile, that whanne elde thingis ben chaungid, alle newe thingis that ben ordeyned of Crist, appere. Joon wroot this gospel in Asie, aftir that he hadde writun the Apocalips in the ile of Pathmos; netheles he wroot the gospel aftir alle the [Om. K pr. m.] gospeleris, that also an [Om.

CEKMNOQRSXabceghik.] bi a virgyn in the Apocalips to hym, to whom an vncorruptible bygynnyng is ȝouun in Genesis, in the bigynnyng of hooly scripture; for Crist seith in the Apocalips, Y am the bygynnyng and the [Om. A sec. m. bk.] ende. And this Joon is [was O.] he, that knewe that the day of his departyng was comun; and he clepide togidere hise disciplis in Effesie, and schewide Crist bi many preuyngis of myraclis, and ȝede doun in to a doluyn place of his biriyng; and whanne he hadde maad preier, he was put to hise fadris, and was so [Om.

[verse 1] In the bigynnyng was the word, and the word was at God, and God was the word. [verse 2] This was in the bigynnyng at God. [verse 3] Alle thingis weren maad bi hym, and withouten hym was maad no thing,

that thing that was maad. [verse 4] In hym was lijf, and the lijf was the liȝt of men; [verse 5] and the [Om. A.] liȝt schyneth in derknessis, and derknessis comprehendiden [comprehenden CIS. tookin EPQα.] not it. [verse 6] A man was sent fro God, to whom the [Om. O.] name was Joon. [verse 7] This man cam in to witnessyng, that he schulde bere witness|ing of the [Om. ag.] liȝt, that alle men schulden bileue bi hym. [verse 8] He was not the [that S.] liȝt, but that he schulde bere witnessing of the liȝt. [verse 9] There was a very liȝt, which liȝtneth ech man that cometh in to this world. [verse 10] He was in the world, and the world was maad bi hym, and the world knew hym not. [verse 11] He cam in to his owne thingis, and hise resseyueden hym not. [verse 12] But hou many euer resseyueden hym, he ȝaf to [Om. O.] hem power to be maad the sones of God, to hem that bileueden [bileuen A sec. m. EPQshik sec. m.] in his name; the [verse 13] whiche not [is not A pr. m.] of bloodis, nether of the wille of fleische, nether of the wille of man, but ben borun of God. [verse 14] And the word was maad man, and dwellyde among vs, and we han seyn the glorie of hym, as the glorie of the [Om. g.] `oon bigetun [vnbigetin E.] sone of the fadir, ful of grace and of treuthe. [verse 15] Joon berith witnessyng of hym, and crieth, and seith, This is [it is I. is he of k.] , whom Y seide, He that schal come aftir me, is maad [verse 16] bifore me, for he was tofor [bifore IKeg.] me; and of the [Om. Q.] plente of hym we alle han takun, and grace for grace. [verse 17] For the lawe was ȝouun bi Moises; but grace and treuthe `is maad [Om. a.] bi Jhesu Crist. [verse 18] No man sai euer God, no [Om. IO.] but the `oon bigetun [vnbigetin E.] sone, that is in the bosum of the fadir, he hath teld out. [verse 19] And this is the witnessyng of Joon, whanne Jewis senten fro Jerusalem prestis and dekenes to hym, that thei schulden axe hym, Who art thou? [verse 20] He

knoulechide [knoulechynge O.] , and denyede not, and he knoulechide, For Y am not Crist. [verse 21] And thei axiden [askiden R.] hym, What thanne? Art thou Elie? And he seide, Y am not. Art thou a profete? And he answeride, Nay. [verse 22] Therfor thei seiden to hym, Who art thou? that we ȝyue an answere to these that senten vs. What seist thou of thi silf? [verse 23] He seide, Y am a vois of a crier in deseert, Dresse ȝe the weie of the Lord, as Ysaie, the prophete, seide. [verse 24] And thei that weren sent, weren of the Fari|seis. [verse 25] And thei axiden [askiden R.] hym, and seiden to hym, What thanne baptisist thou, if thou art not Crist, nether Elie, nether a profete? [verse 26] Joon answeride to hem, and seide, Y baptise in watir, but in the myddil of ȝou hath stonde oon, that ȝe [verse 27] knowen not; he it is, that schal come aftir me, that was maad bifor me, of whom Y am not worthi to louse the thwong [thong PE. thwongis S.] of his schoo [shoon S pr. m. hikβ.] . [verse 28] These thingis weren don in Bethanye biȝende Jordan, where Joon was baptisyng. [verse 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. [verse 30] This is he, that Y seide of, Aftir me is comun [to come hk pr. m.] a man, which was maad bifor me; for he was rather than Y. [verse 31] And Y knew hym not, but that he be schewid in Israel, therfor Y cam baptisynge in watir. [verse 32] And Joon bar witnessyng, and seide, That [Om. S sec. m. And e.] Y saiȝ the [a b.] spirit comynge doun as a culuer fro heuene, and dwellide [dwellinge Igk.] on hym. [verse 33] And Y knew hym not; but he that sente me to baptise in watir, seide to me, On whom thou seest the Spirit comynge doun, and dwellynge on hym, this is he, that bap|tisith

in the Hooli Goost. [verse 34] And Y say, and bar witnessyng, that this is the sone of God. [verse 35] Anothir [And another S.] dai Joon stood, and [verse 36] tweyne [two Ihi.] of hise disciplis; and he biheeld Jhesu walkinge, and seith [seide S sup. ras.] , Lo! the lomb of God. [verse 37] And twei [two Ihi.] disciplis herden [verse 38] hym spekynge, and folewiden Jhesu. And Jhesu turnede [turnede aȝen S sup. ras.] , and say hem suynge hym, and seith [seide S sup. ras.] to hem, What seken ȝe? And thei seiden to hym, Rabi, that is to seie, Maistir, where dwellist thou? [verse 39] And he seith [seide S sup. ras.] to hem, Come ȝe, and se. And thei camen, and sayn where he dwellide; and dwelten with hym that dai. And it was as the tenthe our. [verse 40] And Andrewe, the brother of Symount Petir, was oon [the tone O.] of the tweyne, that herden of Joon, and hadden sued hym. [verse 41] This foond first his brother Symount [Symount Petir O.] , and he seide to him, We han foundun Messias, that is to seie, Crist; and he ledde him to Jhesu. [verse 42] And Jhesus bihelde hym, and seide, Thou art Symount, the sone of Johanna; thou schalt be clepid Cefas, that is to seie, Petre. [verse 43] And on the morewe he wolde go out [Om. A.] in [Om. P pr. m.] to Galilee, and he foond Filip; and he seith to hym, Sue thou me. [verse 44] Filip was of Bethsaida, the citee of Andrew and of Petre. [verse 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 [the profetis CIKRS pr. m. Uabcghkβ. in the profetis O.] . [verse 46] And Nathanael seide to hym, Of Nazareth may sum good thing be? Filip seide to hym, Come, and se. [verse 47] Jhesus siȝ Nathanael comynge to hym, and seide to [of A sec. m.] hym, Lo! verili a man of Israel, in whom is no gile. [verse 48] Nathanael seide to hym, Wherof [Wherfore O.] hast thou knowun me?

Jhesus `answerde, and [answeringe I.] seide to hym, Bi|for that Filip clepide thee, whanne thou were vndur the fige tree, Y saiȝ thee. Na|thanaelj [verse 49] answerde [said O.] to hym, `and seide [Om. O.] , Rabi, thou art the sone of God, thou art kyng of Israel. [verse 50] Jhesus answerde, and seide to hym, For Y seide to thee, Y sawȝ thee vndur the fige tre, thou bileuest; thou schalt se more than these thingis. [verse 51] And he seide to hem, Treuli, treuli, Y seie to ȝou, ȝe schulen se heuene opened, and the aungels of God stiynge vp and comynge doun on mannys sone.

CAP. II.

[verse 1] And the thridde dai weddyngis weren maad in the Cane [Cana hi.] of Galilee; and the modir of Jhesu was there. [verse 2] And Jhesus was clepid, and hise disciplis, to the wed|dyngis. [verse 3] And whanne wijn failide, the modir of Jhesu seide to hym, Thei han not wijn. [verse 4] And Jhesus seith to hir, What to me and to thee, womman? myn our cam not ȝit. [verse 5] His modir seith to the mynystris, What euere thing he seie [seith IOR.] to ȝou, do ȝe. [verse 6] And there weren set `sixe stonun cannes [sixe stenes E.] , aftir the clensyng of the [Om. K pr. m. b pr. m.] Jewis, holdynge ech tweyne [two Ik.] ether [or E et P passim.] thre metretis [ether mesuris K marg.] . [verse 7] And Jhesus seith to hem, Fille ȝe the pottis with watir. And thei filliden hem, vp to the mouth. [verse 8] And Jhe|sus seide to hem, Drawe ȝe now, and bere ȝe to the architriclyn. And thei baren. [verse 9] And whanne the architriclyn hadde tastid the watir maad wiyn, and wiste not wherof it was, but the mynystris wisten that drowen the watir, the architriclyn [verse 10] clepith the spouse, and seith to hym, Ech man settith first good wiyn, and whanne men [thai O.] ben fulfillid [fillid IKSaegα.] , thanne that that [at O. Om. S.] is [And Natanael k.]

worse; but thou hast kept the [Om. CIKSgk.] good wiyn `in to [vnto Ca.] this tyme. [verse 11] Jhesus [And Jhesus IKg.] dide this the bigynnyng of signes in the Cane [Cana i.] of Galilee, and schewide his glorie; and hise disciplis bileueden in [in to CIKMRSXb sec. m. ghikβ.] hym. [verse 12] Aftir these thingis he cam doun to Cafarnaum, and his modir, and hise britheren, and hise disciplis; and thei dwelliden `there not [not there EIPR pr. m. Sg.] many daies. [verse 13] And the pask of Jewis was nyȝ, and Jhesus wente vp [Om. k pr. m.] to [in to O.] Jerusa|lem. [verse 14] And he foond in the temple men sillynge oxun, and scheep, and culueris, and chaungeris sittynge. [verse 15] And whanne he hadde maad as it were a scourge of smale cordis, he droof out alle of the temple, and oxun, and scheep; and he schedde the money of chaungeris, and turnede [he turned O.] vpsedoun the boordis. [verse 16] And he seide to hem that selden culueris, Take awei fro hennus these thingis, and nyle ȝe make the hous of my fadir an hous of marchaundise. [verse 17] And hise disciplis hadden mynde, for it was writun, The feruent loue of thin hous hath etun me. [verse 18] Therfor the Jewis answeriden, and seiden to hym, What token schewist thou to vs, that thou doist these thingis? [verse 19] Jhesus an|swerde, and seide to hem, Vndo ȝe this temple, and in thre daies Y schal reise it. [verse 20] Therfor the Jewis seiden to hym, In fourti and sixe ȝeer this temple was bildid, and schalt thou in thre daies reise it? [verse 21] But he seide of the temple of his bodi. [verse 22] Therfor whanne he was risun fro deeth, hise disciplis hadden mynde, that he seide these thingis of his bodi; and thei bileueden to the scripture, and to the word that Jhesus seide. [verse 23] And whanne Jhesus was at Jerusalem in [at c.] pask, in the feeste dai, many bileueden

in his name, seynge his signes that he dide. [verse 24] But Jhesus trowide not hym silf [verse 25] to hem, for he knewe alle men; and for it was not nede to hym, that ony man schulde bere witnessyng [witnessinge of man IC sec. m. g.] , for he wiste, what was in man.

CAP. III.

[verse 1] And there was a man of the Farisees, Nychodeme bi name, a prince of the [Om. CIKR pr. m. Sg.] Jewis. [verse 2] And he cam to Jhesu bi niȝt, and seide to hym, Rabi, we witen, that thou art comun fro God maister [a maistir S pr. m.] ; for no man may do these signes [thingis k pr. m.] , that thou doist, but God be with hym. [verse 3] Jhesus answerde, and seide to hym, Treuli, treuli, Y seie to thee, but a man be borun aȝen, he may not se the kyngdom of God. [verse 4] Nychodeme seide to hym, Hou may a man be borun, whanne he is eeld? whether [wher X.] he may entre aȝen [Om. S sec. m.] in to his modris [modir ERehi.] wombe, and be borun aȝen? [verse 5] Jhesus answeride, Treuli, treuli, Y seie to thee, but a man be borun aȝen of watir, and of the Hooli Goost, he may not entre in to the kyngdom of God. [verse 6] That that [That at G.] is borun of the [Om. EIKb pr. m. β.] fleisch, is fleisch; and `that that [that at O.] is borun of spirit [the spirit IQRbcegikαβ.] , is spirit. [verse 7] Wondre thou not, for Y seide to thee, It bihoueth ȝou to be borun aȝen. [verse 8] The [And the EPQXaek pr. m. α.] spirit brethith where he wole, and thou herist his vois, but thou wost not, fro whennus he [that he O.] cometh, ne whidir he goith; so is ech man that is borun of the spirit. [verse 9] Nychodeme answeride, and seide to hym, Hou moun these thingis be don? [verse 10] Jhesus answeride, and seide to hym, Thou art a maister in Israel, and knowist not these thingis? [verse 11] Treuli, treuli, Y seie to

thee, for we speken that that we witen, and we witnessen that that [Om. a.] we han seyn, and ȝe taken not oure witnessyng. [verse 12] If Y haue seid to ȝou ertheli thingis, and ȝe bileuen not, hou if Y seie to ȝou heueneli thingis, schulen ȝe bileue? [verse 13] And no man stieth in to heuene, but he that cam doun fro heuene, mannys sone that is in heuene. [verse 14] And as Moises areride [reride S sec. m.] a ser|pent in desert, so it bihoueth mannys [verse 15] sone to be reisid [areisid k.] , that ech man that bileueth in hym, perische not, but haue euerlastynge lijf. [verse 16] For God louede so the world, that he ȝaf his `oon bigetun [vnbigetin E. owne bigeten hi.] sone, that ech man that bileueth in him perische not, but haue euerlastynge lijf. [verse 17] For God sente not his sone in to the [this O.] world, that he iuge the world, but that the world be saued bi him. [verse 18] He that bileueth in [in to A pr. m.] hym, is not demed; but he that bileu|eth not, is now demed, for he bileueth not in the name of the `oon bigetun [vnbegetin E.] sone of God. [verse 19] And this is the dom, for liȝt cam in to the [this O.] world, and men loueden more derknessis than liȝt; for her werkes weren yuele. [verse 20] For ech man that doith yuele, hatith the liȝt; and he cometh not to the liȝt, that hise werkis be not repreued. [verse 21] But he that doith treuthe, cometh to the liȝt, that hise werkis be schewid, that thei ben don in God. [verse 22] Aftir these thingis Jhesus cam, and hise disciplis, in to the loond of Judee, and there he dwellide with hem, and baptiside. [verse 23] And [Om. a.] Joon was baptisinge in Ennon, bisidis Salym, for many watris weren there; and thei camen, and weren baptisid. [verse 24] And Joon was not ȝit sent in to prisoun. [verse 25] Therfor a questioun was maad of Jonys disciplis with the Jewis, of the purificacioun. [verse 26] And thei camen to Joon, and seiden `to hym [Om. O.] , Maister, he that was with thee biȝonde

Jordan, to whom thou hast borun wit|nessyng, lo! he baptisith, and alle men comen to hym. [verse 27] Joon answerde, and seide, A man may not take ony thing, but it be ȝouun to hym fro heuene. [verse 28] Ȝe ȝou [ȝoure Ehi.] silf beren witnessyng to me, that Y seide, Y am not Crist, but that Y am sent bifore hym. [verse 29] He that hath a wijf, is the hose|bonde; but the freend of the spouse [hosebonde a.] that stondith, and herith hym, ioieth with ioye, for the vois of the spouse. Therfor in this thing my ioye is fulfillid. [verse 30] It bi|houeth hym to wexe, but me to be maad lesse. [verse 31] He that cam from aboue, is aboue alle; he that is of the erthe, spekith of the erthe; he that cometh from heuene, is aboue alle. [verse 32] And he witnessith that thing that he hath seie, and herde, and no man takith his witnessing. [verse 33] But he that takith his witnessyng, hath confermyd that God is sothefast. [verse 34] But he whom God hath sent, spekith the wordis of God; for not to mesure God ȝyueth the [Om. Ig.] spirit. [verse 35] The fadir loueth the sone, and he hath ȝouun alle thingis in [in to k.] his hoond. [verse 36] He that bi|leueth in [in to A pr. m.] the sone, hath euerlastynge lijf; but he that is vnbileueful to the sone, schal not se euerlastynge lijf, but the wraththe of God dwellith on [in Ebeα.] hym.

CAP. IV.

[verse 1] Therfor as Jhesu knew, that the Fa|risees herden, that Jhesu makith and [verse 2] baptisith mo disciplis than Joon, thouȝ Jhesus baptiside not, but hise disciplis, [verse 3] he lefte Judee, and wente aȝen in to Galilee. [verse 4] And it bihofte hym to passe bi Samarie. [verse 5] Therfor Jhesus cam in to a

citee of Samarie, that is seid [clepid IKSgβ.] Sicar, bi|sidis the place, that Jacob ȝaf to Joseph, his sone. [verse 6] And the welle of Jacob was there; and Jhesus was weri of the iourney, and sat thus [Om. EPQS sec. m. α.] vpon [Om. β.] the welle. And the our was, as it were the sixte. [verse 7] And a womman cam fro Samarie, to drawe watir. And Jhesus seith to hir, Ȝyue me drynk. [verse 8] And hise disciplis weren gon in to the citee, to bie mete. [verse 9] Therfor thilke womman of Samarie seith to him, Hou thou [than S sec. m.] , whanne thou [sith thou IKSg. that O.] art a Jewe, axist of me drynk [a drynk O.] , that am a womman of Samarie? for Jewis [the Jewis I.] vsiden [vsen K text Rbghiβ. ether medlen K marg.] not to dele with Samaritans. [verse 10] Jhesus answerde, and seide to hir, If thou wistist the ȝifte of God, and who `he is [it is EPQS sec. m. ekα. is C.] , that seith to thee, Ȝyue me drynk, thou perauenture woldist haue axid [askid R.] of hym, and he schulde haue ȝouun to thee quyk watir. [verse 11] The womman seith to him, Sire, thou hast not where ynne to drawe, and the pit is deep; wherof thanne hast thou quik watir? [verse 12] Whethir [Wher EPS.] thou art grettere than [that Aa.] oure fadir Jacob, that ȝaf to vs the pit? and he drank therof, and hise sones, and hise [Om. b.] beestis. [verse 13] Jhesus answerde, and seide to hir, Eche man that drynkith [schal drinke O.] of this watir, schal thirste efte soone; but he that drynkith of the watir that Y schal ȝyue hym, schal not thirste with outen ende; [verse 14] but the watir that Y schal ȝyue hym, schal be maad in hym a welle `of watir [Om. I.] , spryngynge vp in to euerlastynge lijf. [verse 15] The womman seith to hym, Sire, ȝyue me this watir, that Y thirste not, nether come hidur to drawe. [verse 16] Jhesus seith to hir, Go, clepe thin hosebonde, and come hidir. [verse 17] The womman answerde, and seide,

Y haue noon hosebonde. Jhesus seith to hir, Thou seidist wel, That Y haue noon [verse 18] hosebonde; for thou hast hadde fyue hosebondis, and he that thou hast, is not thin hosebonde. This thing thou seidist sotheli. [verse 19] The womman seith to hym, Lord, Y se, that thou art a prophete. [verse 20] Oure fadris worschipiden [worschipiden God k.] in this hil, and ȝe seien, that at Jerusalem is a place, where it bihoueth to worschipe. [verse 21] Jhesus seith to hir, Womman, bileue thou to me, for the our schal come, whanne nether in this hil, nethir in Jerusalem, [verse 22] ȝe schulen worschipe the fadir. Ȝe wor|schipen that [that that R.] ȝe knowen not; we wor|schipen that that [Om. A. at O.] we knowen; for helthe is of the Jewis. [verse 23] But the tyme is comun, and now it is, whanne trewe worschiperis schulen worschipe the fadir in spirit and treuthe; for also the fadir sekith suche, that worschipen hym. [verse 24] God is a spirit, and it bihoueth hem that worschipen hym, to worschipe in spirit and treuthe. [verse 25] The womman seith to hym, Y woot that Messias is comun, that is seid Crist; therfor whanne he cometh, he schal telle vs [to vs AK sec. m.] alle thingis. [verse 26] Jhesus seith to hir, Y am he, that spekith with thee. [verse 27] And anoon hise disciplis camen, and wondriden, that he spak with the womman; netheles no man seide to hym, What sekist thou, or, What spekist thou with hir? [verse 28] Therfor the womman lefte hir watir pot, and wente in to the citee, and seide to tho [the chi.] [verse 29] men, Come ȝe, and se ȝe [Om. C.] a man, that seide [hath seid IC.] to me alle thingis that Y haue don; whether [wher C.] he be Crist? [verse 30] And thei wenten out of the citee, and camen to hym. [verse 31] In the mene while hise disciplis preieden hym, and seiden, Maistir, ete. [verse 32] But he seide to hem, Y haue mete to ete,

that ȝe knowen not. [verse 33] Therfor disciplis [the disciplis CKUX sec. m. aikα. his disciplis O.] seiden togidir, Whether [Wher CPQSX.] ony man hath brouȝt him mete to ete? [verse 34] Jhesus seith [seid S sec. m.] to hem, My mete is, that Y do the wille of hym that sente me, that Y perfourme the werk of hym. [verse 35] Whether ȝe seien not, that ȝit foure monethis ben, and rype corn cometh? Lo! Y seie to ȝou, lifte vp ȝoure iȝen, and se ȝe the feeldis, for now thei ben white to repe. [verse 36] And he that repith takith hire, and gaderith fruyt in to euerlastynge lijf; that bothe he that sowith, and he that repith, haue ioye to|gidere. [verse 37] In this thing is the word trewe, for anothir [oon c.] is that sowith, and [Om. E.] anothir [another is E.] that repith. [verse 38] Y sente ȝou to repe, that that [at O.] ȝe `haue not trauelid [traueliden not c.] ; `othere men han trauelid [Om. A pr. m. EObceghik.] , and ȝe han entrid `in to [in i.] her trauels. [verse 39] And of that citee many Samaritans bileueden in hym, for the word of the womman, that bare witness|yng, That he seide to me alle thingis that Y haue don. [verse 40] Therfor whanne Samari|tans camen to hym, thei preieden hym to dwelle there; and he dwelte there twey [two CI et alii.] daies. [verse 41] And many mo bileueden [verse 42] for his word, and seiden to the womman, That now not for thi speche we bileuen; for we han herd, and we witen, that this is verili the sauyour of the world. [verse 43] And aftir twei [two CI et alii.] daies he wente out fro thennus, and wente in to Galilee. [verse 44] And he bar wit|nessyng, that a profete in his owne cuntre hath noon onour. [verse 45] Therfor whanne he cam in to Galilee, men of Galilee ressey|ueden hym, whanne thei hadden seyn alle thingis that he hadde don in Jeru|salem in the feeste dai; for also thei hadden comun to the feeste dai. [verse 46] Therfor he cam eftsoone in to the Cane of Galile,

where he made the watir wiyn. And `a litil kyng was [ther was a lit. kyng I.] , whos sone was sijk at Cafarnaum. [verse 47] Whanne this hadde herd, that Jhesu schulde come fro Judee in to Galilee, he wente to hym, and preiede hym, that he schulde come doun, and heele his sone; for he bigan to die. [verse 48] Therfor Jhesus seide to him, But [But if k.] ȝe se tokenes and grete wondris, ȝe bileuen not. [verse 49] The litil kyng seith to hym, Lord, come doun, bifor that my sone die. [verse 50] Jhe|sus seith to hym, Go, thi sone lyueth. The man bileuede to the word, that Jhe|sus seide to hym, and he wente. [verse 51] And now whanne he cam doun, the seruauntis camen aȝens [aȝen to a.] hym, and telden to hym, and seiden, That his sone lyuede. [verse 52] And he axide [askide R.] of hem the our, in which he was amendid. And thei seiden to hym, For [Fro gαβ.] ȝistirdai in the seuenthe our the feuer lefte him. [verse 53] Therfor the fadir knewe, that thilke our it was, in which Jhesus seide to hym, Thi sone lyueth; and he bileuede, and al his hous. [verse 54] Jhesus dide eft this secounde tokene, whanne he cam fro Judee in to Galilee.

CAP. V.

[verse 1] Aftir these thingis ther was a feeste dai of Jewis [the Jewis OR sec. m. bhikβ.] , and Jhesus wente vp to [in to O.] Jerusalem. [verse 2] And in Jerusalem is [was k.] a waissynge place, that in Ebrew is nam|ed [clepid k.] Bethsaida, and hath fyue porchis. [verse 3] In these lay a greet multitude of sike men, blynde, crokid, and drie, abidynge

the mouyng of the watir. [verse 4] For the aun|gel `of the Lord [Om. k pr. m.] cam doun certeyne tymes in to the watir, and the watir was moued; and he that first cam doun in to the sisterne [that is, a watir gederid togidere, hau|inge no fiȝss. K.] , aftir the mouynge of the watir, was maad [Om. k pr. m.] hool of what euer sijknesse he was holdun. [verse 5] And a man was there, hauynge eiȝte and thritti ȝeer in his sikenesse. [verse 6] And whanne Jhesus hadde seyn hym liggynge, and hadde knowun, that he hadde myche tyme, he seith to hym, Wolt thou be maad hool? [verse 7] The sijk man answerde to hym, Lord, Y haue no man, that whanne the watir is moued, to putte me `in to [in k pr. m.] the [Om. k pr. m.] cis|terne; for the [Om. i.] while Y come, anothir goith doun bifor me. [verse 8] Jhesus seith to hym, Rise vp, take thi bed, and go. [verse 9] And anoon the man was maad hool, and took vp [Om. b pr. m.] his bed, and wente forth. And it was sabat in that dai. [verse 10] Therfor the Jewis seiden to him that was maad hool, It is sabat, it [and it O.] is not leueful to thee, to take awei thi bed. [verse 11] He answeride to hem, He that made me hool, seide to me, Take thi bed, and go. [verse 12] Therfor [And therfore S sec. m.] thei axiden him, What man `is that [it is A.] , that seide to thee, Take vp [Om. IKb.] thi bed, and go? [verse 13] But he that was maad [Om. I.] hool, wiste not who it was. And Jhesus bowide awei fro the puple, that was set in the place. [verse 14] Aftirward Jhesus foond hym in the tem|ple, and seide to hym, Lo! thou art maad hool; now nyle thou do synne, lest any worse thing bifalle to thee. [verse 15] Thilke man wente, and telde to the Jewis, that it was Jhesu that made hym hool. [verse 16] Therfor the Jewis pursueden Jhesu, for he dide this thing in the sabat. [verse 17] And Jhesus answeride to hem, My fadir worchith til [to O.] now, and Y worche. [verse 18] Ther|for

the Jewis souȝten more to sle hym, for not oneli he brak the sabat, but [but for k pr. m.] he seide that God was his fadir, and made hym euene to God. [verse 19] Therfor Jhesus an|swerde, and seide to hem, Treuli, treuli, Y seye to ȝou, the sone may not of hym silf do ony thing, but that thing that he seeth the fadir doynge; for what euere thingis he doith, the sone doith in lijk maner tho thingis. [verse 20] For the fadir loueth the sone, and schewith to [Om. I sec. m. S pr. m. g.] hym alle thingis that he doith; and he schal schewe to hym grettere werkis than these, that ȝe wondren. [verse 21] For as the fadir reisith deed men, and quykeneth, so the sone quykeneth whom he wole. [verse 22] For ne|thir the fadir iugith ony man, but hath [verse 23] ȝouun ech [euery O.] doom to the sone, that alle men onoure the sone, as thei onouren the fadir. He that onourith not the sone, onourith not the fadir that sente hym. [verse 24] Treuli, treuli, Y seie to ȝou, that he that herith my word, and bileueth to [in k. in to α.] hym that sente me, hath euerlastynge lijf, and he cometh not in to doom, but passith fro deeth [deed I.] in [Om. O.] to lijf. [verse 25] Treuli, treuli Y seie to ȝou, for the our cometh, and now it is, whanne deed men schulen here the vois of `Goddis sone [the sone of God O.] , and thei that heren, schulen lyue. [verse 26] For as the fadir hath lijf in hym silf, so he ȝaf to the sone, to haue [verse 27] lijf in him silf; and he ȝaf to hym power to make doom, for he is mannys sone. [verse 28] Nyle ȝe [Om. a.] wondre this [in this k pr. m.] , for the our com|eth, in which alle men that ben in birielis, schulen here the voice of Goddis sone. [verse 29] And thei that han do goode thingis, schulen go in to aȝenrisyng of lijf; but thei that han done yuele thingis, in to aȝenrisyng of [to C.] doom. [verse 30] Y may no thing do of my silf, but as Y here, Y deme,

and my doom is iust, for Y seke not my wille, but the wille of the [my C.] fadir that sente me. [verse 31] If Y bere witnessing of my [verse 32] silf, my witnessyng is not trewe; another is that berith witnessyng of me, and Y woot that his witnessyng is trewe, that he berith of me. [verse 33] Ȝe senten to Joon, and he bar witnessyng to treuthe. [verse 34] But Y take not witnessyng of man; but Y seie these thingis, that ȝe be saaf. [verse 35] He was a lanterne brennynge and schynynge; but ȝe wolden glade [not glade A pr. m. glade, or ioye K.] at an our in his liȝt. [verse 36] But Y haue more witnessyng than Joon, for the werkis that my fadir ȝaf to me to perfourme hem, thilke werkis that Y do beren witnessyng of me, that the fadir sente me. [verse 37] And the fadir that sente me, he bar witnessyng of me. Ne|ther ȝe herden euere his vois, nether ȝe seien his licnesse. [verse 38] And ȝe han not his word dwellynge in ȝou; for ȝe byleuen not to hym, whom he sente. [verse 39] Seke ȝe scripturis [the scripturis C.] , in which ȝe gessen to haue euerlastynge lijf; and tho it ben, that beren witnessyng of me. [verse 40] And ȝe wolen not come to me, that ȝe haue lijf. [verse 41] Y [verse 42] take not clerenesse [the clernesse k.] of men; but Y haue knowun ȝou, that ȝe han not the loue of God in ȝou. [verse 43] Y cam in the name of my fadir, and ȝe token not me. If an|other come in his owne name, ȝe schulen resseyue hym. [verse 44] Hou moun ȝe bileue, that resseyuen glorie ech of othere, and ȝe seken not the [that O.] glorie `that is of God [of God that is EP.] aloone [aboue AEPeα.] ? [verse 45] Nyle ȝe gesse, that Y am [came R.] to accuse ȝou anentis [aȝens C.] the fadir; it is Moi|ses that accusith ȝou, in whom ȝe hopen. [verse 46] For if ȝe bileueden to Moises, perauen|ture ȝe schulden bileue also to [Om. b pr. m. ek sec. m.] me; for he wroot of me. [verse 47] But if ȝe bileuen not

to hise lettris, hou schulen ȝe bileue to my [his O.] wordis?

CAP. VI.

[verse 1] Aftir these thingis Jhesus wente ouere the see of Galilee, that is Tiberias. [verse 2] And a greet multitude [multitude of pepil O.] suede hym; for thei sayn the tokenes, that he dide on hem that weren sijke. [verse 3] Therfor Jhesus wente in to an hil, and sat there with hise dis|ciplis. [verse 4] And the paske was ful niȝ, a feeste dai of the Jewis. [verse 5] Therfor whanne Jhesus hadde lift vp hise iȝen, and hadde seyn, that a greet multitude cam to hym, he seith to Filip, Wherof schu|len we bie looues, that these men ete? [verse 6] But he seide this thing, temptynge hym; for he wiste what he was to do. [verse 7] Filip answerde to hym, The looues of tweyn [two CEIPQacg.] hundrid pans [pens EPsbcghiαβ.] sufficen not to hem, that ech man take a litil what. [verse 8] Oon of hise disciplis, Andrew, the brothir of Sy|mount [verse 9] Petre, seith to him, A child is here, that hath fyue barli looues and twei [two IRghi.] fischis; but what ben these among so manye? [verse 10] Therfor Jhesus seith, Make ȝe [Om. ER pr. m.] hem sitte to the [Om. ei.] mete. And there was myche hey in the place. And so men saten to the mete, as `fyue thou|synde in noumbre [in noumbre fyue thousynde A.] . [verse 11] And Jhesus took fyue looues, and whanne he hadde do thankyngis, he departide to men [the men IKQg. hem hi.] that saten to [at β.] the [Om. k.] mete, and also of the fischis, as myche as thei wolden. [verse 12] And whanne thei weren fillid [fulfillid E.] , he seide to hise disciplis, Gadir ȝe the relifs that ben left, that thei perischen not. [verse 13] And so thei gadriden, and filliden twelue cofyns

of relif [the relif O.] of the fyue barli looues and twei [two I.] fischis, that lefte to hem that had|den etun. [verse 14] Therfor tho men, whanne thei hadden seyn the signe that he hadde don, seiden, For this is verili the profete, that is to come in to the world. [verse 15] And whanne Jhesus hadde knowun, that thei weren to [Om. Q pr. m.] come [comynge a.] to take [Om. I pr. m. g.] hym, and make hym kyng, he fleiȝ `aloone eft [eftsoone k pr. m.] in to an hille. [verse 16] And whanne euentid was comun, his disciplis wenten doun to [into O.] the see. [verse 17] And thei wenten vp in to a boot, and thei camen ouer the see in to Cafarnaum. And derknessis weren maad thanne, and Jhesus was not come to hem. [verse 18] And for a greet wynde blew, the see roos vp. [verse 19] Ther|for whanne thei hadden rowid as fyue and twenti furlongis or thretti, thei seen [sauȝen I. sawen K. saien R. sayen e. siȝen k. seien i.] Jhesus walkynge on the see, and to be neiȝ the boot; and thei dredden. [verse 20] And he seide to hem, Y am; nyle ȝe drede. [verse 21] Therfor thei wolden take [haue O.] hym in to the boot, and anoon the boot was at the loond, to [in to k.] which thei wenten. [verse 22] On `the tother [that other Iae.] dai the puple, that stood ouer the see, say, that ther was noon other boot there but oon [that oon O.] , and that [Om. k.] Jhesu entride not with hise disciplis in to the boot, but hise disciplis aloone wenten. [verse 23] But othere bootis camen fro Tiberias bisidis the place, where thei hadden eetun breed, and diden [thei diden a pr. m.] thankyngis to God. [verse 24] Therfor whanne the puple hadde seyn, that Jhesu was not there, nether hise disciplis, thei wenten vp in to bootis, and camen to [in to k.] Cafarnaum, sekynge Jhe|su. [verse 25] And whanne thei hadden foundun hym ouer the see, thei seiden to hym, Rabi, hou come [camest IKa. cam plures.] thou hidur? [verse 26] Jhesus

answerde to hem, and seide, Treuli, treuli, Y seie to ȝou, ȝe seken me, not for ȝe sayn [seen gk.] the myraclis, but for ȝe eten of looues [the looues IKhi.] , and weren fillid. [verse 27] Worche ȝe not mete that perischith, but that [that that k.] dwell|ith [lastith i pr. m.] in to euerlastynge lijf, which [the whiche I.] mete mannys sone schal ȝyue to ȝou; for God the fadir hath markid hym. [verse 28] Therfor thei seiden to hym, What schulen we do, that we worche the werkis [werk Eekα.] of God? [verse 29] Jhesus answerde, and seide to hem, This is the werk of God, that ȝe bileue to hym, whom he sente. [verse 30] Therfor thei seiden to hym, What tokene thanne do|ist thou, that we seen, and bileue to thee? what worchist thou? [verse 31] Oure fa|dris eeten manna in desert, as it is writun, He ȝaf to hem breed fro heuene to ete. [verse 32] Therfor Jhesus seith to hem, Treuli, treuli [Om. O.] , Y seie to ȝou, Moyses ȝaf ȝou not breed fro heuene, but my fadir [verse 33] ȝyueth ȝou veri breed fro heuene; for it is very breed that cometh doun fro he|uene, and ȝyueth lijf to the world. [verse 34] Ther|for thei seiden to hym, Lord, euere ȝyue vs this breed. [verse 35] And Jhesus seide [seith a.] to hem, Y am breed of lijf; he that cometh to me, schal not hungur; he [and he ok.] that bileu|eth in me, schal neuere thirste. [verse 36] But Y seid [haue seid A pr. m.] to ȝou, that ȝe han seyn me, and ȝe bileueden [bileeuen agik.] not. [verse 37] Al thing, that the fadir ȝyueth to me, schal come to me; and Y schal not caste hym out, that cometh to me. [verse 38] For Y cam doun fro heuene, not that Y do my wille, but the wille of hym that sente me. [verse 39] And this is the wille of the fadir that sente me, that al thing that the fadir ȝaf me [Om. R pr. m. to me k.] , Y leese not of it, but aȝen reise it in the laste dai. [verse 40] And this is [Om. k pr. m.] the wille of my fadir that sente me, that ech man that

seeth the sone, and bileueth in hym, haue euerlastynge lijf; and Y schal aȝen reyse hym in the laste dai. [verse 41] Therfor Jewis [the Jewis hik.] grutchiden of hym, for he hadde seid, Y am breed that cam doun fro heuene. [verse 42] And thei seiden, Whether this is not Jhesus, the sone of Joseph, whos fadir and modir we han knowun. Hou thanne seith this [he this Ia sec. m.] , That Y cam doun fro heuene? [verse 43] Therfor Jhesus answerde, and seide to hem, Nyle ȝe [Om. R pr. m.] grutche togidere. [verse 44] No man may come to me, but if the fadir that sente me, drawe hym; and Y schal aȝen reise hym in the laste dai. It is writun in prophetis [the prophetis O.] , [verse 45] And alle men [men of God I.] schulen be able for [Om. Ebk pr. m.] to be tauȝt `of God [Om. I.] . Ech man that herde [hath herd k sec. m.] of [Om. k pr. m.] the fadir, and hath lerned, cometh to me. [verse 46] Not for ony man hath sey the fadir, but this [he this Ia sec. m.] that is of God, hath sey the fadir. [verse 47] Sotheli, so|theli, Y seie to ȝou, he that bileueth in me, hath euerlastynge lijf. [verse 48] Y am breed of lijf. [verse 49] Ȝoure fadris eeten manna in de|sert, and ben [thei ben Ig.] deed. [verse 50] This is breed com|ynge doun fro heuene, that if ony man ete therof, he die not. [verse 51] Y am lyuynge breed, that cam doun fro heuene. [verse 52] If ony man ete of this breed, he schal lyue withouten ende. And the breed that Y schal ȝyue, is my fleisch for the lijf of the world. [verse 53] Therfor the Jewis chidden togi|dere, and seiden, Hou may this [he this I.] ȝyue to vs his fleisch to ete? [verse 54] Therfor Jhesus seith to hem, Treuli, treuli, Y seie to ȝou, but ȝe eten the fleisch of mannus sone, and drenken his blood, ȝe schulen not haue lijf in ȝou. [verse 55] He that etith my fleisch, and drynkith my blood, hath euerlastynge lijf, and Y schal aȝen reise hym in the laste dai. [verse 56] For my fleisch is veri mete, and my blood is very drynk. [verse 57] He that etith my fleisch, and drynkith

my blood, dwellith in me, and Y in hym. [verse 58] As [And as O.] my fadir lyuynge sente me, and Y lyue for the [my O.] fadir, and he that etith me, he [and he ok sec. m.] schal lyue for me. [verse 59] This is breed, that cam doun fro heuene. Not as ȝoure fadris eten manna [manna in desert k.] , and ben deed; he that etith this breed, schal lyue with|outen ende. [verse 60] He seide these thingis in the synagoge, techynge in Cafarnaum. [verse 61] Therfor many of hise disciplis herynge, seiden, This word is hard, who may here it [him k pr. m.] ? [verse 62] But Jhesus witynge at hym silf, that hise disciplis grutchiden of this thing, seide to hem, This thing sclaun|drith ȝou? [verse 63] Therfor if ȝe seen mannus sone stiynge, where [there O.] he was bifor? [verse 64] It is the spirit that quykeneth, the fleisch profitith no thing; the wordis that Y haue spokun to ȝou, ben spirit and lijf. [verse 65] But ther ben summe of ȝou that bileuen not. For Jhesus wiste fro the bigyn|nynge, which weren bileuynge, and who was to bitraye hym. [verse 66] And he seide, Therfor Y seide to ȝou, that no man may come to me, but it were ȝouun to hym of my fadir. [verse 67] Fro this tyme many of hise disciplis wenten abak, and wenten not now with hym. [verse 68] Therfor Jhesus seide to the twelue, Whether ȝe wolen also go awei? [verse 69] And [Om. k.] Symount Petre an|sweride to hym, Lord, to whom schulen we gon? Thou hast wordis of euerlast|ynge [verse 70] lijf; and we bileuen, and han [Om. k pr. m.] knowun, that thou art Crist, the sone of God. [verse 71] Therfor Jhesus answerde to hem, Whether Y chees not ȝou twelue, and oon of ȝou is a feend? [verse 72] And he seide this of Judas of Symount Scarioth, for this [he this Ia sec. m.] was to bitraye hym, whanne he was oon of the twelue.

CAP. VII.

[verse 1] Aftir [And aftir A.] these thingis Jhesus walkide in to Galilee, for he wolde not walke in to Judee, for the Jewis souȝten to [for to hi.] sle hym. [verse 2] And ther was neiȝ a feeste dai of the Jewis, Senofegia. [verse 3] And hise britheren seiden to hym, Passe fro hennus, and go [go we EISa sec. m. b sec. m.] in to Judee, that also thi disciplis [verse 4] seen thi werkis that thou doist; for no man doith ony thing in hiddlis, and hym silf sekith to be opyn. If thou doist these thingis, schewe thi silf to the world. [verse 5] For nether hise britheren bi|leueden in hym. [verse 6] Therfor Jhesus seith to hem, My tyme cam [is R.] not ȝit, but ȝoure tyme [hour k.] is euermore redi. [verse 7] The world may not hate ȝou, sothely it hat|ith me; for Y bere witnessyng therof, that the werkis of it ben yuele. [verse 8] Go ȝe vp to this [the k pr. m.] feeste dai, but Y schal not go vp to this feeste dai [Om. S pr. m. fest day don S sec. m.] , for my tyme is not ȝit fulfillid. [verse 9] Whanne he hadde seid these thingis, he dwelte in Galilee. [verse 10] And aftir that [Om. R pr. m.] hise britheren weren gon vp, thanne he ȝede [wente k.] vp to the feeste dai, not opynli, but as in priuyte. [verse 11] Therfor the Jewis souȝten hym in the feeste dai, and seiden, Where is he? [verse 12] And myche grutchyng was of hym among the puple. For summe seiden, That he is good; and othere seiden, Nai, but he disceyueth the [verse 13] puple; netheles no man spak opynli of hym, for drede [the drede S sec. m.] of the Jewis [Judeis a.] . [verse 14] But whanne the myddil feeste dai cam, Jhe|sus wente vp in to the temple, and tauȝte. [verse 15] And the Jewis wondriden, and seiden, Hou can this man lettris, sithen he hath not lerned [leride a.] ? [verse 16] Jhesus answerde to hem, and seide, My doctryne is not myn, but his that sente me. [verse 17] If ony man wole do his wille, he schal knowe of the

techyng, whethir it be of God, or Y speke of my silf. [verse 18] He that spekith of hym silf, sekith his owne glorie; but he that sekith the glorie of hym that sente hym, is sothefast, and vnriȝtwisnesse [vnriȝtfulnesse IK sup. ras. g.] is not in hym. [verse 19] Whether Moises ȝaf not to ȝou a lawe, and noon of ȝou doith the lawe? What seken ȝe to sle me? [verse 20] And the puple answerde, and seide, Thou hast a deuel; who sekith to sle thee? [verse 21] Jhesus answerde, and seide to hem, Y haue don o [a IO.] werk, and alle ȝe wondren. [verse 22] Therfor Moises ȝaf to ȝou circumcisioun; not for it is of Moyses, but of the fadris; and in the sabat ȝe circumciden [circumcideden AKgkβ. circumcisiden ahi.] a man. [verse 23] If a [eny g.] man take circumcicioun in the sabat, that the lawe of Moises be not brokun, han ȝe indignacioun to [of O.] me, for Y made [make O.] al [Om I pr. m. gk pr. m.] a man hool in the sabat? [verse 24] Nile ȝe deme aftir the face, but deme ȝe a riȝtful [riȝtwise R.] doom. [verse 25] Therfor summe of Je|rusalem seiden, Whethir this is not he, [verse 26] whom the Jewis seken to sle? and lo! he spekith opynli, and thei seien no thing to hym. Whether the princes knewen [knowen k.] verili, that this is Crist? [verse 27] But we knowun this man, of whennus he is; but whanne Crist schal come, no man woot of whennus he is [Om. O.] . [verse 28] Therfor Jhesus criede in the temple `techynge, and seide [and said techinge O.] , Ȝe knowen me, and `ȝe knowen of whennus Y am [whennis I am ȝe knowen O.] ; and Y cam not of my silf, but he is trewe that sente me, whom ȝe knowen not. [verse 29] Y knowe hym, and if Y seie that [Om. b pr. m. e pr. m. hi.] Y knowe hym not, Y schal be lijk to ȝou, a liere; but [but and A sec. m. PQaceα.] Y knowe hym, for of hym Y am, and he sente me. [verse 30] Therfor thei souȝten to [for to IKg.] take hym, and no man sette on hym hoondis, for his our cam not ȝit. [verse 31] And many of

the puple bileueden in hym, and seiden, Whanne Crist schal come, whether he schal do mo tokenes, than tho that this doith? [verse 32] Farisees [The Farisees k.] herden the puple musinge of hym these thingis; and the princis and [of a pr. m. k pr. m. and the a sec. m. hi.] Farisees senten mynystris, to take hym. [verse 33] Therfor Jhesus seide to hem, Ȝit a litil tyme Y am with ȝou, and Y go to the fadir, that sente me. [verse 34] Ȝe schulen seke me, and ȝe schulen not fynde [finde me KOS pr. m.] ; and where Y am, ȝe may [moun plures.] not come. [verse 35] Therfor the Jewis seiden to hem silf, Whidur schal this gon, for we schu|len not fynde hym? whether he wole go in to the [Om. Eegkα.] scateryng of hethene [the hethen O.] men, and wole teche the hethene [hethen men CEKPQehikαβ.] ? [verse 36] What is this word, which he seide, Ȝe schulen seke me, and ȝe [Om. aα.] schulen not fynde [finde me K.] ; and where Y am, ȝe moun not come? [verse 37] But in the laste dai of the greet feeste, Jhesus stood, and criede, and seide, If ony man thirstith, come he to me, and drynke. [verse 38] He that bileueth in [to O.] me, as the scripture seith, Floodis of quyk watir schulen flowe fro [out of O.] his wombe. [verse 39] But he seide this thing of the Spirit, whom [whiche k pr. m. the whiche k sec. m.] men that bileueden in hym schulden take; for the Spirit was not ȝit ȝouun, for Jhesus was not ȝit glorified. [verse 40] Therfor of that cum|panye, whanne thei hadden herd these wordis of hym, thei [Om. k.] seiden, This [That this k.] is verili a prophete. [verse 41] Othere seiden, This is Crist. `But summe [And othere k.] seiden, Whether Crist cometh fro Galilee? [verse 42] Whether the scripture seith not, that of the seed of Dauid, and of the castel of Bethleem, where Dauid was, Crist cometh? [verse 43] Ther|for discencioun was maad among the puple for hym. [verse 44] For [But Ig. And k.] summe of hem wolden haue take hym, but no man sette hondis on hym. [verse 45] Therfor the mynystris

camen to bischopis [the bishopis IKRsgk.] and Farisees, and thei seiden to hem, Whi brouȝten ȝe not hym? The mynystris answeriden, [verse 46] Ne|uere man spak so, as this man spekith. [verse 47] Therfor the Farisees answeriden to hem, Whether ȝe ben disseyued also? [verse 48] whether ony of the pryncis or of the Farisees bileueden in hym? [verse 49] But this puple, that knowith not the lawe, ben cursid. [verse 50] Ny|chodeme seith to hem, he that cam to hym bi nyȝt, that was oon of hem, [verse 51] Whethir oure lawe demith a man, but [but if Eeh.] it haue first herde of hym, and knowe what he doith? [verse 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. [verse 53] And thei turneden aȝen, ech in to his hous.

CAP. VIII.

[verse 1] But [And k.] Jhesus wente in to the mount of Olyuete. [verse 2] And [Om. R sec. m.] eerli eft [Om. k pr. m.] he cam in to the temple; and al the puple cam to hym; and he sat, and tauȝte hem. [verse 3] And scribis and Fariseis bryngen [bryngynge hiβ. brouȝten k pr. m.] a womman takun in auoutrye, and thei settiden hir in the [verse 4] myddil, and seiden to hym, Maystir, this womman is now takun in auoutrie. [verse 5] And in the lawe Moises comaundide vs [to vs gk.] to [for to IKghi.] stoone suche; therfor what seist thou? [verse 6] And thei seiden this thing temptynge hym, that thei myȝten accuse hym. And Jhesus bowide hym silf doun, and wroot with his fyngur in the erthe. [verse 7] And whanne thei abiden [abideden C. abedin EP.] axynge [askynge R.] hym, he reiside hym silf, and seide to hem, He of ȝou that is without synne, first caste a stoon in to hir. [verse 8] And eft he bowide hym silf, and wroot in the erthe. [verse 9] And thei herynge these thingis, wenten awei oon aftir anothir, and thei bigunnen fro

the [Om. b.] eldre men; and Jhesus dwelte aloone, and the womman stondynge in the myd|dil. [verse 10] And Jhesus reiside hym silf, and seide to hir, Womman, where ben thei that accusiden thee? no man hath dampned [demyde a pr. m.] thee. [verse 11] Sche seide, No man, Lord. Jhesus seide `to hir [Om. I.] , Nethir Y schal dampne thee; go thou, and now aftir|ward [aftir g.] nyle thou synne more [no more A pr. m. sa pr. m. bgk pr. m.] . [verse 12] Therfor eft Jhesus spak to hem, and seide, Y am the [Om. S sec. m.] liȝt of the world; he that sueth me, walkith not in derknessis, but schal haue the [Om. O.] liȝt of lijf. [verse 13] Therfor the Fariseis seiden, Thou berist witnessyng [wittenesse O.] of thi silf; thi witnessyng is not trewe. [verse 14] Jhesus answerde, and seide to hem, And if Y bere witnessyng of my silf, my witness|yng is trewe; for Y woot fro whennus Y cam, and whidur Y go. [verse 15] But ȝe witen not fro whennus Y cam, ne whidur Y go. For [But for O.] ȝe demen aftir the fleisch, but Y deme [verse 16] no man; and if Y deme, my doom is trewe, for Y am not aloone, but Y and the fadir that sente me. [verse 17] And in ȝoure lawe it is writun, that the witnessyng of twei [two I.] men is trewe. [verse 18] Y am, that bere witness|yng of my silf, and the fadir that sente me, berith witnessyng of me. [verse 19] Therfor thei seiden to hym, Where is thi fadir?. Jhesus answeride, Nether ȝe knowen me, nethir [ne Ebc.] ȝe knowen my fadir; if ȝe knewen me, perauenture ȝe schulden knowe also my fadir. [verse 20] Jhesus spak these wordis in the tresorie, techynge in the temple; and no man took hym, for his our cam not ȝit. [verse 21] Therfor eft Jhesus seide to hem, Lo! Y go, and ȝe schulen seke me, and ȝe schulen die in ȝoure synne; whidur Y go, ȝe moun not come. [verse 22] Therfor the Jewis seiden, Whe|ther he schal sle hym silf, for he seith, Whidur Y go, ȝe moun not come? [verse 23] And he seide to hem, Ȝe ben of bynethe, Y

am of aboue; ȝe ben of this [the IKb pr. m. g.] world, Y am not of this world. [verse 24] Therfor Y seide to ȝou, that ȝe schulen die in ȝoure synnes [synne b pr. m.] ; for if ȝe bileuen not that Y am, ȝe schu|len die in ȝoure synne [synnes EOhiαβ.] . [verse 25] Therfor thei seiden to hym, Who art thou? Jhesus seide to hem, The bigynnyng, which also speke to ȝou. [verse 26] Y haue many thingis to speke, and deme [to deme CEIKMOPQRSUXab sec. m. ceghikαβ.] of ȝou, but he that sente me is sothefast; and Y speke in the world these thingis, that Y herde of hym. [verse 27] And thei knewen not, that he clepide his fadir God. [verse 28] Therfor Jhesus seith [seide b.] to hem, Whanne ȝe han areisid mannus sone, thanne ȝe schulen knowe, that Y am, and of my silf Y do no thing; but as my fadir tauȝte me, Y speke these thingis. [verse 29] And he that sente me is with me, and lefte me not aloone; for Y do euermore tho thingis, that ben plesynge [plesaunt IKSabg.] to hym. [verse 30] Whanne he spak these thingis, manye bileueden in hym. [verse 31] Therfor Jhe|sus seide to the Jewis, that bileueden in hym, If ȝe dwellen [dwelten k.] in my word, verili [verse 32] ȝe schulen be my disciplis; and ȝe schu|len knowe the treuthe, and the [Om. I.] treuthe schal make ȝou fre. [verse 33] Therfor the Jewis answeriden [sayden O.] to hym, We ben the seed of Abraham, and we serueden neuere to man; hou seist thou, That ȝe schulen be fre? [verse 34] Jhesus answeride to hem, Treuli, treuli, Y seie to ȝou, ech man that doith synne, is seruaunt of [to I.] synne. [verse 35] And the seruaunt dwellith not in the hows with outen ende, but the sone dwellith with outen ende. [verse 36] Therfor if the sone make ȝou fre, verili ȝe schulen be fre. [verse 37] Y woot that ȝe ben Abrahams sones, but ȝe seken to sle me, for my word takith not in ȝou. [verse 38] Y speke tho thingis, that Y say at my fadir; and ȝe doen tho thingis, that ȝe sayn at ȝoure fadir. [verse 39] Thei answerden, and seiden to hym, Abraham is oure

fadir. Jhesus seith to hem, If ȝe ben the sones of Abraham, do ȝe the [Om. A.] werkis of Abraham. [verse 40] But now ȝe seken to sle `me, a man [men i.] that haue spoken to ȝou treuthe, that Y herde of God; Abraham dide not this thing. [verse 41] Ȝe doen the werkis of ȝoure fadir. Therfor thei seiden to hym, We ben not borun of fornycacioun; we han o fadir, God. [verse 42] But Jhesus seith to hem, If God were ȝoure fadir, sotheli ȝe schulden loue me; for Y passide forth of God, and cam; for nether Y cam of my silf, but he sente me. [verse 43] Whi knowen ȝe not my speche? for ȝe moun not here my word. [verse 44] Ȝe ben of the fadir, the deuel, and ȝe wolen do the desyris of ȝoure fadir. He was a mansleere fro the bi|gynnyng, and he stood not in treuthe; for treuthe is not in hym. Whanne he spekith lesyng, he spekith of his owne; for he is a liere, and fadir [stode fadir β.] of it. [verse 45] But for Y seie treuthe, ȝe bileuen not to me. [verse 46] Who of ȝou schal repreue me of synne? if Y sey treuthe, whi bileuen ȝe not to me? [verse 47] He that is of God, herith the wordis of God; therfor ȝe heren not, for ȝe ben not of God. [verse 48] Therfor the Jewis answeriden, and seiden, Whether we seien not wel, that thou art a Sama|ritan, and hast a deuel? [verse 49] Jhesus an|swerde, and seide, Y haue not a deuel, but Y onoure my fadir, and ȝe han vn|honourid me. [verse 50] For [Om. O.] Y seke not my glorye; there is he, that sekith, and demeth. [verse 51] Treuli, treuli, Y seie to ȝou, if ony man kepe my word, he schal not taste deth with outen ende. [verse 52] Therfor the Jewis seiden, Now we han knowun, that thou hast a deuel. Abraham is deed, and the prophetis, and thou seist, If ony man kepe my word, he schal not taste deth withouten ende. [verse 53] Whether thou art gret|tere than oure fader Abraham, that is deed, and the prophetis ben deed; whom makist thou thi silf? [verse 54] Jhesus answeride,

If Y glorifie my silf, my glorie is nouȝt; my fadir, is that glorifieth me, whom ȝe seien, that [Om. g.] he is ȝoure God. [verse 55] And ȝe han not knowun hym, but Y haue knowun hym; and if Y seie that Y knowe hym not, Y schal be a liere lich [lichi A pr. m. bce.] to ȝou; but Y knowe hym, and Y kepe his word. [verse 56] Abraham, ȝoure fadir, gladide [gloried O.] to se my dai; and he saiȝ, and ioyede. [verse 57] Thanne the Jewis seiden to hym, Thou hast not ȝit fifti ȝeer, and hast thou seien Abraham? [verse 58] Therfor Jhesus seide to hem, Treuli, treuli, Y seie to ȝou, bifor that Abraham schulde be, Y am. [verse 59] Therfor thei token stonys, to caste to hym; but Jhesus hidde hym, and wente out of the temple.

CAP. IX.

And Jhesus passynge, seiȝ a man blynd fro the birthe. [verse 2] And hise disciplis axiden hym, Maistir, what [in wiche K sup. ras. who I.] synnede this man, or hise eldris, that he schulde be borun blynd? [verse 3] Jhesus answeride, Nether this man synnede, nether hise eldris; but that [at O.] the werkis of God be schewid in hym. [verse 4] It bihoueth me to [for to IK sec. m.] worche the werkis of hym that sente me, as longe as the dai is; the [Om. O.] nyȝt schal come, whanne no man may worche. [verse 5] As longe as Y am in the world, Y am the liȝt of the world. [verse 6] Whanne he hadde seid these thingis, he spette in to the erthe, and made cley of the spotil, and anoyntide [verse 7] the cley on hise iȝen, and seide to hym, Go, and be thou waisschun in the watir of Siloe, that is to seie, Sent. Thanne he wente, and waisschide, and cam se|ynge. [verse 8] And so neiȝboris, and thei [tho O.] that hadden seyn him bifor, for [that I.] he was a beggere, seiden, Whether this is not he, that sat, and beggide? [verse 9] Othere men seiden, That this it is; othere [and othere k.] men seyden,

Nai, but he is lijc hym. [verse 10] But he seide, That [Om. α.] Y am. Therfor thei seiden to hym, Hou ben thin iȝen openyd? [verse 11] He answerde, Thilke man, that is seid Jhe|sus, made clei, and anoyntide myn iȝen, and seide [he seide a.] to me, Go thou to the watre of Siloe, and wassche; and Y wente, and wasschide, and say. [verse 12] And thei seiden to hym, Where is he? He seide, Y woot not. [verse 13] Thei leden hym that was blynd to the Farisees. [verse 14] And it was sabat, whanne Jhesus made cley, and openyde hise iȝen. [verse 15] Eft the Farisees axiden hym, hou he hadde seyn. And he seide to hem, He leide to me cley on the iȝen; and Y wasschide, and Y se. [verse 16] Therfor summe of the Fariseis seiden [seiden to him k.] , This man is not of God, that kepith not the sabat. Othere men seiden, Hou may a synful man do these signes. And strijf was [was maad bβ.] among hem. [verse 17] Therfor thei seien [seiden I.] eftsoone to the blynd man, What seist thou of hym, that openyde thin iȝen? And he seide, That he is a prophete. [verse 18] Therfor Jewis [the Jewis Ek.] bileueden [bileuen g.] not of [to E.] hym, that he was blynd [born blynd Ic.] , and hadde seyn, til thei clepiden his fadir and modir, that hadde seyn. [verse 19] And thei axiden hem, and seiden, Is this ȝoure sone, which [the whiche O.] ȝe seien was borun blynd? hou thanne seeth he now? [verse 20] His fadir and modir answeriden to hem, and seiden, We witen, that this is oure sone, [verse 21] and that he was borun blynd; but hou he seeth now, we witen neuer [nere EPQRSbchiαβ. not IK.] , or who openyde hise iȝen, we witen nere [neuere CMRUXaekβ. not k.] ; axe [aske R.] ȝe hym, he hath age, speke he of hym silf. [verse 22] His fader and modir seiden these thingis, for thei dredden the Jewis; for thanne the Jewis hadden conspirid, that if ony man knoulechide [knowleche Ebα.] hym Crist, he schulde be don out of the synagoge. [verse 23] Therfor his fadir and modir seiden, That

he hath age, axe ȝe hym. [verse 24] Therfor eft|soone thei clepiden the man, that was blynd, and seiden to hym, Ȝyue thou glorie to God; we [for we k pr. m.] witen, that this man is a synnere. [verse 25] Thanne he seide, If he is a synnere, Y woot neuer [not IKhi nere EQRbcgαβ.] ; o thing Y woot, that whanne Y was blynd, now [and now k.] Y se. [verse 26] Therfor thei seiden to hym, What dide he to thee? hou openyde he thin iȝen? [verse 27] He answerde to hem, Y seide to ȝou now, and ȝe herden; what wolen ȝe eftsoone here? whether ȝe wolen be maad hise discyplis? [verse 28] Therfor thei curs|iden hym, and seiden, Be thou his disci|ple; we [for we b pr. m.] ben disciplis [the disciplis O.] of Moises. [verse 29] We witen, that God spak to Moises; but we knowen not this, of whennus he is. [verse 30] Thilke man answeride, and seide to hem, For in this [this thing k pr. m.] is a wondurful thing, that ȝe witen not, of whennus he is, and he hath openyd myn iȝen. [verse 31] And we witen, that God herith not synful men, but if ony `man is [be E.] worschypere [a worschiper Ekα.] of God, and doith his wille, he herith hym. [verse 32] Fro the world it is not herd, that ony man open|yde [openeth O.] the iȝen of a blynd borun man; [verse 33] but this [this man IQ sec. m.] were of God, he myȝt not do ony thing. [verse 34] Thei answeriden, and seiden to hym, Thou art al borun in synnes, and techist thou vs? And thei putten [puttiden ohik.] hym out. [verse 35] Jhesus herd, that thei hadden putte hym out; and whanne he hadde founde hym, he seide to hym, Bileuest thou in the sone of God? [verse 36] He answerde, and seide [seide to him k.] , Lord, who is he, that Y bi|leue in hym? [verse 37] And Jhesus seide to hym, And thou hast seyn him, and he it is, that spekith with thee. [verse 38] And he seide [seith I.] , Lord, Y byleue. And he felle doun, and worschipide hym. [verse 39] Therfore Jhesus seide to hym, Y cam in to this [the kβ.] world, `in to [in g.] doom, that thei that seen not, see, and thei that seen, be maad blynde. [verse 40] And

summe of the Faryseis herden, that weren with hym, and thei seiden to hym, Whether we ben blynde? [verse 41] Jhesus seide to hem, If ȝe weren blynde, ȝe schulden not haue synne; but now ȝe seien, That we seen, ȝoure synne dwellith stille.

CAP. X.

[verse 1] Treuli, treuli, Y seie to ȝou, he that cometh not in by the dore in to the foold of scheep, but stieth bi another weie, is a nyȝt theef and a dai theef. [verse 2] But he that entrith bi the dore, is the scheep|herde of the scheep. [verse 3] To [And to k pr. m.] this the porter openeth, and the scheep heren his vois, and he clepith his owne scheep bi name, and ledith hem out. [verse 4] And whanne he hath don [don, ether sent K sec. m.] out his owne scheep, he goith bifor hem, and the scheep suen hym; for thei knowun his vois. [verse 5] But thei suen not an alien, but fleen from hym; for thei han not knowun the vois of aliens. [verse 6] Jhe|sus seide to hem this prouerbe; but thei knewen not what he spak to hem. [verse 7] Ther|for Jhesus seide to hem eftsoone, Treuli, treuli, Y seie to ȝou, that [Om. Ik.] Y am the [a I.] dore of the scheep. [verse 8] As many as han [weren I.] come, weren nyȝt theues and day theues, but the scheep herden not hem. [verse 9] Y am the dore. If ony man schal entre bi me, he schal be sauyd; and he schal go ynne, and schal go out, and he schal fynde lesewis. [verse 10] A nyȝt theef cometh not, but that he stele, sle, and leese; and Y cam, that thei han lijf, and haue more plen|teousli. [verse 11] I am a good scheepherde; a good scheepherde ȝyueth his lijf for hise scheep. [verse 12] But an hirid hyne, and that is not the [Om. I pr. m.] scheepherde, whos ben not the scheep his owne, seeth a wolf comynge, and he leeueth the scheep, and fleeth; and the wolf rauyschith, and disparplith the scheep. [verse 13] And the hirid hyne fleeth,

for he is an hirid hyne, and it parteyn|eth not to hym of the scheep. [verse 14] Y am a good scheepherde, and Y knowe my scheep, and my scheep knowen me. [verse 15] As the fadir hath knowun me, Y knowe the fadir; and Y putte my lijf for my scheep. [verse 16] Y haue othere scheep, that ben not of this foolde, and it bihoueth me to brynge hem togidir, and thei schulen here my vois; and it [ther I.] schal be maad o foolde and o scheepherde. [verse 17] Therfor the fadir lou|eth me, for Y putte my lijf, that eftsoone Y take it. [verse 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 aȝen. This maundement Y haue takun of my fadir. [verse 19] Eft dissencioun was maad among the Jewis for these wordis. [verse 20] And many of hem seiden, He hath a deuel, and maddith; what heren ȝe hym? [verse 21] Othere men seiden, These wordis ben not of a man that hath a feend [deuel O.] . Whether the deuel may opene the iȝen of blynde [blind born k pr. m.] men? [verse 22] But the feestis of halewyng of the temple weren maad in Jerusalem, and it was wyntir. [verse 23] And Jhesus walkide in the temple, in the porche of Salomon. [verse 24] Therfor the Jewis camen aboute hym, and seiden to hym, Hou long takist thou awei oure soule? if thou art Crist, seie thou to vs opynli. [verse 25] Jhesus answerde to hem, Y speke to ȝou, and ȝe bileuen not; the werkis that Y do in the name of my fadir, beren witnessyng [witnesse O.] of me. [verse 26] But ȝe bileuen not, for ȝe ben not of my scheep. [verse 27] My scheep heren my vois, and Y knowe hem, and thei suen me. [verse 28] And Y ȝyue to [Om. c.] hem euerelastynge lijf, and thei schulen not perische with outen ende, and noon schal rauysche hem fro [out of O.] myn hoond. [verse 29] That thing that my [the k.] fadir ȝaf to me, is more than alle thingis; and no man may rauysche fro my fadris hoond. [verse 30] Y and the fadir ben oon. [verse 31] The [And O.] Jewis token vp

stoonys, to stoone hym. [verse 32] Jhesus answerde to hem, Y haue schewide to ȝou many good werkis of my fadir, for which werk of hem stonen ȝe me? [verse 33] The Jewis an|swerden to hym, We stoonen thee not of good werk, but of blasfemye, and for thou, sithen thou art a man, makist thi silf God. [verse 34] Jhesus answerde to hem, Whether it is not writun in ȝoure lawe, That Y seide, Ȝe ben goddis? [verse 35] Yf he seide that thei weren goddis, to whiche [whom I.] the word of God was maad, and scrip|ture [the scripture k.] [verse 36] may not be vndon, thilke that the fadir hath halewid, and hath sent in to the [this O.] world, ȝe [and ȝe b sec. m.] seien, That `thou blasfem|est [Y blasfeme b sec. m. g.] , for Y seide, Y [that I I pr. m. Q.] am Goddis sone? [verse 37] Yf Y do not the werkis of my fadir, [verse 38] nyle ȝe bileue to me; but if Y do, thouȝ ȝe wolen not bileue to me, bileue ȝe to the werkis; that ȝe knowe and bileue, that the fadir is in me, and Y in the fadir. [verse 39] Therfor thei souȝten to take hym, and he wente out of her hondis. [verse 40] And he wente [wente out S.] eftsoone ouer Jordan, in to that place where Joon was firste baptisynge, and he dwelte there. [verse 41] And manye camen to hym, and seiden, For [That I.] Joon dide no [verse 42] myracle [myraclis I.] ; and alle thingis what euer Joon seide of this, weren sothe. And many bileueden in [in to K sec. m. S pr. m. b sec. m. eg.] hym.

CAP. XI.

[verse 1] And ther was a sijk man, Lazarus of Bethanye, of the castel of Marie and Martha, hise sistris. [verse 2] And it was Marye, which [the whiche O.] anoyntide the Lord with oyne|ment, and wipte hise feet with hir heeris, whos brother Lazarus was sijk. [verse 3] Therfor hise sistris senten to hym, and seide, Lord, lo! he whom thou louest [louedist k pr. m.] , is sijk. [verse 4] And Jhesus herde, and seide to

hem, This syknesse is not to the deth, but for the glorie of God, that mannus sone be glorified bi hym. [verse 5] And Jhesus louyde Martha, and hir sistir Marie, and Lazarus. [verse 6] Therfor whanne Jhesus herde, that he was sijk, thanne he dwellide in the same place twei [two I.] daies. [verse 7] And after these thingis he seide to hise disciplis, Go we eft in to Judee. [verse 8] The disciplis seien to hym, Maister, now the Jewis souȝten for [Om. cab.] to stoone thee, and eft goist thou thidir? [verse 9] Jhesus [And Jhesus O.] answerde, Whe|ther ther ben not twelue ouris of the dai? If ony man wandre [wandreth O.] in the dai, he hirtith [offendith O.] not, for he seeth the liȝt of this world. [verse 10] But if he wandre [wandreth O.] in the niȝt, he stomblith, for liȝt is not in [to a.] him. [verse 11] He seith [seide k.] these thingis, and aftir these thingis he seith to hem, Lazarus, oure freend, slepith, but Y go to reise hym fro sleep. [verse 12] Therfor hise disciplis seiden, Lord, if he slepith, he schal be saaf. [verse 13] But Jhesus hadde seid of his deth; but thei gessiden, that he seide of slepyng of sleep. [verse 14] Thanne therfor Jhesus seide to [verse 15] hem opynli, Lazarus is deed; and Y haue ioye for ȝou, that ȝe bileue, for Y was not there; but go we to hym. [verse 16] Therfor Thomas, that is seid Didymus, seide to euen [eleuene U. the euene k.] disciplis [apostlis a.] , Go we also, that we dien with hym. [verse 17] And so Jhesus cam, and foond hym hauynge thanne foure daies in the graue. [verse 18] And Bethany was bisidis Jerusalem, as it were fiftene furlongis. [verse 19] And many of the Jewis camen to Mary and Martha [to Martha I.] , to coumforte hem of her brothir. [verse 20] Therfor as Martha herde, that Jhesu cam, sche ran to hym; but Mary sat at home. [verse 21] Therfor Martha seide to Jhesu, Lord, if thou haddist be here, my brother hadde not be deed. [verse 22] But now Y woot, that [Om. k pr. m.] what euere thingis [thenge O.] thou schalt axe of God, God schal ȝyue

to thee. [verse 23] Jhesus seith to hir, Thi brother schal rise aȝen. [verse 24] Martha seith to hym, Y woot, that he schal rise aȝen in the aȝen risyng in the laste dai. [verse 25] Jhesus seith to hir, Y am aȝen risyng and lijf; he that bileueth in me, ȝhe, thouȝ he be [verse 26] deed, he schal lyue; and ech that lyueth, and bileueth in me, schal not die with outen ende. Bileuest thou this thing? [verse 27] Sche seith to hym, Ȝhe, Lord, Y haue bileued, that thou art Crist, the sone of the [Om. CIKac.] lyuynge God, that hast come in to this world. [verse 28] And whanne sche hadde seid this thing, sche wente, and clepide Marie, hir sistir, in silence, and seide, The maister cometh [is come I.] , and clepith thee. [verse 29] Sche, as sche herd, aroos [ros sagβ.] anoon, and cam to hym. [verse 30] And Jhesus cam not ȝit `in to [to R.] the castel, but he was ȝit in that [the CUa.] place, where Martha hadde comun aȝens [to X. aȝen to a pr. m.] hym. [verse 31] Therfor the Jewis that weren with hir in the hous, and coumfortiden hir, whanne thei sayn Marie, that sche roos swithe [anoon I.] , and wente out, thei sueden hir, and seiden, For sche goith to the graue, to wepe there. [verse 32] But whanne Marie was comun where Jhesus was, sche seynge hym felde doun to his feet, and seide to hym, Lord [Sire I sup. ras.] , if thou haddist be here, my brother hadde not be deed. [verse 33] And [Om. IRhi.] ther|for whanne Jhesu saiȝ hir wepyng, and the Jewis wepynge that weren with hir, he `made noise [mournide I sup. ras.] in spirit, and troblide [verse 34] hym silf, and seide, Where han ȝe leid hym? Thei [And thei i.] seien [seiden ghik.] to hym, Lord [Sire I sup. ras.] , come, and se. [verse 35] And Jhesus wepte. [verse 36] Ther|for the Jewis seiden, Lo! hou he louede hym. [verse 37] And summe of hem seiden, Whe|thir this man that openyde the iȝen of the borun blynde man, myȝte not make that this [he this I.] schulde not die? [verse 38] Therfor Jhesus eft makynge noise [doel I sup. ras.] in hym silf, cam to the graue. And there was a

denne, and a stoon was [Om. β.] leid theronne. [verse 39] And Jhesus seith, Take ȝe awey the stoon. Martha [And Martha k.] , the sistir of hym that was deed, seith to hym, Lord, he stynk|ith now, for he hath leye foure daies [daies in the graue k.] . [verse 40] Jhesus seith to hir, Haue Y not seid to thee, that if thou bileuest, thou schalt se the glorie of God? [verse 41] Therfor thei token awei the stoon. And Jhesus lifte vp hise iȝen, and seide, Fadir, Y do thank|yngis to thee, for thou hast herd me; [verse 42] and Y wiste, that thou euermore herist me, but for the puple that stondith aboute, Y seide, that thei bileue, that thou hast sent me. [verse 43] Whanne he hadde seid these thingis, he criede with a greet vois, Lazarus, come thou [Om. I.] forth. [verse 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 ȝe hym, and suffre ȝe hym to go forth. [verse 45] Therfor many of the Jewis that camen to Marie and Martha [to Martha Ik.] , and seyn what thingis Jhesus dide, bileueden in hym. [verse 46] But summe of hem wente to the Farisees, and seiden to hem, what thingis Jhesus `hadde don [dide O.] . [verse 47] Therfor the bischopis and the Farisees gadriden a counsel aȝens Jhesu, and seiden, What do we? for this man doith many myraclis. [verse 48] If we leeue hym thus, alle men schulen bileue in hym; and Romayns schulen come, and schulen [Om. EQk. thei schul I.] take our place and oure folk. [verse 49] But oon of hem, Cayfas bi name, whanne he was bischop of that ȝeer, seide to [verse 50] hem, Ȝe witen nothing, ne thenken, that it spedith to ȝou, that o man die for the puple, and that al the folc perische not. [verse 51] But [Om. A.] he seide not this thing of hym silf, but whanne he was bischop of that ȝeer,

he prophesiede, that Jhesu was to die [verse 52] for the folc, and not oneli for the folc, but that he schulde gadere in to oon the sones of God that weren scaterid. [verse 53] Ther|for fro that day thei souȝten [thouȝten EIKQRbceghikβ.] for to sle hym. [verse 54] Therfor Jhesus walkide not thanne opynli [only I sup. ras.] among the Jewis; but he wente in to a cuntre bisidis desert, in to a citee, that is seid Effren, and there he dwellide with hise disciplis. [verse 55] And the pask of the [Om. IKR.] Jewis was niȝ, and many of the [that C.] cuntrey wenten vp to Jerusalem bifor the pask, to halewe hem silf. [verse 56] Therfor thei souȝten Jhesu, and spaken togidere, stondynge in the temple, What gessen ȝe, for he cometh not to the feeste day? For the bischopis and Farisees [the Pharisees O.] hadden ȝouun [ȝif O.] a maundement, that if ony man knowe where he is, that he schewe, that thei take hym.

CAP. XII.

[verse 1] Therfor Jhesus bifor sixe daies of pask cam to Bethanye, where Lazarus hadde be deed, whom Jhesus reiside. [verse 2] And thei maden to hym a soopere there, and Martha mynystride to hym; and Lazarus was oon of men [the men IRhikβ.] that saten at the mete with hym. [verse 3] Therfor [Om. I.] Marie took a pound of oynement of trewe narde precious, and anoyntide the feet of Jhesu, and wipte hise feet with hir heeris; and the hous was fulfillid [fillide ERg.] of [with O.] the sauour of the oynement. [verse 4] Therfor Judas Scarioth, oon of hise disciplis, that [verse 5] was to bitraye hym, seide, Whi is not this oynement seeld for thre hundrid pens, and is [Om. I pr. m.] ȝouun to nedi [pore I.] men? [verse 6] But he seide this thing, not for it perteynede to hym of nedi men, but for he was a theef, and he [Om. Ea.] hadde the [Om. b pr. m. g.] pursis, and bar tho thingis that weren sent. [verse 7] Therfor

Jhesus seide, Suffre ȝe hir, that in to the [verse 8] day of my biriyng sche kepe that; for ȝe schulen euermore haue pore men with ȝou, but ȝe schulen not euermore haue me. [verse 9] Therfore myche puple of Jewis [the Jewis Ioehik.] knew, that Jhesus was there; and thei camen, not oonli for Jhesu, but to se Lazarus, whom he hadde reisid fro deth. [verse 10] But the princis of prestis thouȝten [souȝten k.] to [verse 11] sle Lazarus, for manye of the Jewis wenten awei for [fro k.] him, and bileueden in [in to K sec. m.] Jhesu. [verse 12] But on the morew a [Om. K pr. m. g.] myche puple, that [Om. K.] cam togidere to the feeste dai, whanne thei hadden herd, that Jhe|sus [verse 13] cam to Jerusalem, token braunchis of palmes, and camen forth aȝens hym, and crieden, Osanna, blessid is the kyng of Israel, that cometh in the name of the Lord. [verse 14] And Jhesus foond a ȝonge asse, [verse 15] and sat on hym, as it is writun, The douȝtir of Syon, nyle thou drede; lo! thi kyng cometh, sittynge on `an asse fole [the colt on an asse fole A pr. m. on the colt of an asse A sec. m. on an asse and fool of an asse R sec. m. hi.] . [verse 16] Hise disciplis knewen not first these thingis, but whanne Jhesus was glorified, thanne thei hadden mynde, for [that I.] these thingis weren writun of hym, and these thingis thei diden to hym. [verse 17] Ther|for the puple bar witnessyng, that was with hym, whanne he clepide Lazarus fro the graue, and reiside hym fro deth. [verse 18] And therfor the puple cam, and mette with hym, for thei herden that he hadde don this signe. [verse 19] Therfor the Farisees seiden to hem silf, Ȝe seen, that we pro|fiten no thing; lo! al the world wente [hath gon I.] aftir hym. [verse 20] And there weren summe hethene [of hethen O.] men, of hem that hadden come vp to worschipe in the feeste dai. [verse 21] And these camen to Filip, that was of Beth|saida of Galilee, and preieden hym, and seiden, Sire, we wolen se Jhesu. [verse 22] Filip cometh, and seith to Andrew; eft [and eft O.] An|drew

and Filip seiden to Jhesu. [verse 23] And Jhesus answerde `to hem, and seide [and seid to hem O.] , The our cometh, that mannus sone be clarified. [verse 24] Treuli, treuli [Om. O.] , Y seie to ȝou, but a corn of whete falle in to the [verse 25] erthe, and be deed, it dwellith aloone; but if it be deed, it bryngith myche fruyt. He that loueth his lijf, schal leese it; and he that hatith his lijf in this world, kepith it in to euerlastynge lijf. [verse 26] If ony man serue me, sue he me; and where Y am, there my mynystre schal be. If ony man serue me, my fadir schal worschipe hym. [verse 27] Now my soule is troublid, and [Om. A pr. m.] what schal Y seie? Fadir, saue me fro this our; but therfor [verse 28] Y cam in to this our; fadir, clarifie thi name. And a vois cam fro heuene, and seide, And Y haue clarified, and eft Y schal clarifie. [verse 29] Therfor the puple that stood, and herde, seide, that `thundur was maad [ther was maad a thundir I.] ; othere men seide, an [that an Ek.] aungel spak to [with k.] hym. [verse 30] Jhesus answerde, and seide, This vois cam not for me, but for ȝou. [verse 31] Now is the doom of the world, now the prince of this world schal be cast out. [verse 32] And if Y schal be enhaunsid fro the erthe, Y schal drawe alle thingis to my silf. [verse 33] And he seide this thing, signifiynge bi what deth he `was to [schulde k.] die. [verse 34] And the puple answeride to hym, We han herd of the lawe, that Crist dwellith with outen ende; and hou seist thou, It bihoueth mannys sone to be arerid? Who is this mannus sone? [verse 35] And thanne [therfore I.] Jhesus seith to hem, Ȝit a litil liȝt is in ȝou; walke ȝe, the while ȝe han liȝt, that derknessis [derkenesse O.] catche ȝou not; he that wandrith in derknessis, woot nere [not I. neuere KRSagkβ.] whi|dur he goith. [verse 36] While ȝe han liȝt, bileue ȝe in liȝt [the liȝt Ik.] , that ȝe be the children of liȝt. Jhesus spak these thingis, and wente,

and hidde hym fro hem. [verse 37] And whanne he hadde don so many myraclis bifor [verse 38] hem, thei bileueden not `in to [in CEIKMPRSUXabcehiαβ. to gk.] hym; that the word of Ysaie, the prophete, schulde be fulfillid, which he seide [saith O.] , Lord, who bileuede [leued E. hath bileeued k.] to [in to e.] oure heryng, and to whom is the arm of the Lord schewid? [verse 39] Ther|for thei myȝten not bileue, for eft Ysaye [verse 40] seide, He hath blyndid her iȝen, and he [Om. A.] hath maad hard the herte of hem, that thei se not with iȝen, and vndurstonde with herte; and that thei be conuertid, and Y heele hem. [verse 41] Ysaye seide these thingis, whanne he say the glorie of hym, and spak of hym. [verse 42] Netheles `of the pryncis manye [manye of the princis k.] bileueden in hym, but for the [Om. k pr. m.] Farisees thei knowlechiden [knowlechen O.] not, that thei schulden not be put out of [verse 43] the synagoge; for thei loueden the glorie of men, more than the glorie of God. [verse 44] And Jhesus criede, and seide, He that bileueth in me, bileueth not in me, but in hym that sente me. [verse 45] He that seeth me, seeth hym that sente me. [verse 46] Y liȝt cam in to the world, that ech that bileueth in me, dwelle not in derknessis. [verse 47] And if ony man herith my words, and kepith hem [hem not A pr. m. a. not hem c sec. m.] , Y deme hym not; for Y cam not, that Y deme the world, but that [at O.] Y make the world saaf. [verse 48] He that dispisith me, and takith not my wordis, hath hym that schal iuge hym; thilke word that Y haue spokun, schal deme hym in the last dai. [verse 49] For Y haue not spokun of my silf, but thilke fadir that sente me, ȝaf to me a maundement, what Y schal [Om. I.] seie [speke K.] , and what Y schal speke [seye K.] . [verse 50] And Y woot, that his maundement is euerlastynge lijf; therfor tho thingis that Y speke, as the fadir seide to me, so Y speke [do g.] .

CAP. XIII.

[verse 1] Bifor [But bifor A.] the `feeste dai of pask [pask day i pr. v.] Jhesus witynge, that his our is comun, that he passe fro this [the O.] world to the fadir, whanne he hadde loued hise that weren in the world, in to the ende he louede hem. [verse 2] And whanne the souper was maad, whanne the deuel hadde put than in to the [Om. A.] herte, that Judas of Symount [verse 3] Scarioth schulde bitraye hym, he wit|ynge [wittenessyng O.] that the fadir ȝaf alle thingis to hym in to hise [Om. A sec. m. Q. the EP.] hoondis, and that he [verse 4] wente out fro God, and goith to God, he risith fro the souper, and doith of hise clothis; and whanne he hadde takun a lynun cloth, he girde [girte P.] hym. [verse 5] And aftir|ward he putte watir in to a basyn, and biganne to waische the disciplis feet, and to wipe with the lynnen cloth, with which he was gird. [verse 6] And so he cam to Symount Petre, and Petre seith to hym, Lord, waischist thou my feet? [verse 7] Jhesus answerde, and seide to hym, What Y do, thou wost not now; but thou schalt wite aftirward. [verse 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. [verse 9] Symount Petre seith to hym, Lord, not oneli my feet, but bothe the [Om. g.] hoondis and the heed. [verse 10] Jhesus seide [seith A sec. m. osg.] to hym, He that is waischun, hath no [not A.] nede but that he waische the feet, but he is al clene; and ȝe ben clene, but not alle. [verse 11] For he wiste, who `was he [it was k.] that schulde bitraye hym; therfor he seide, Ȝe ben not alle clene. [verse 12] And so aftir that he hadde waischun `the feet of hem [her feet k.] , he took hise clothis; and whanne he was set to mete aȝen, eft he seide to hem, Ȝe witen what Y haue don to ȝou. [verse 13] Ȝe clepen me maistir and lord, and ȝe seien

wel; for Y am. [verse 14] Therfor if Y, lord and maistir, haue waischun ȝoure feet, and [Om. ab pr. m.] [verse 15] ȝe schulen waische oon anothers feet; for Y haue ȝouun `ensaumple to ȝou [to ȝou ens. k pr. m.] , `that as I haue do to ȝou [Om. bc pr. m. e pr. m. gk pr. m.] , so do ȝe. [verse 16] Treuli, treuli, Y seie to ȝou, the seruaunt is not grettere than his lord, nether an [Om. IKReghi.] apostle is [Om. I.] grettere than he that sente hym. [verse 17] If ȝe witen these thingis, ȝe schulen be blessid, if ȝe doen hem. [verse 18] Y seie not of `alle ȝou [ȝou alle R.] , Y woot whiche Y haue chosun; but that the scripture be fulfillid, He that etith my breed, schal reise his heele aȝens me. [verse 19] Treuly [Treuli, treuli c sec. m.] , Y seie to ȝou bifor it be don, that whanne it is don, ȝe bileue that Y am. [verse 20] Treuli, treuli, Y seie to ȝou, he that takith whom euere Y schal sende, resseyueth me; and he that resseyueth me, resseyueth hym that sente me. [verse 21] Whanne Jhesus hadde seid these thingis, he was troblid in spirit, and witnesside, and seide, Treuli, treuli, Y seie to ȝou, that oon of ȝou schal bitraye me. [verse 22] Therfor the disciplis lokiden togi|dere, doutynge [and doutinge k.] of whom he seide. [verse 23] And so oon of hise disciplis was restynge in the bosum of Jhesu, whom Jhesu lou|ede. [verse 24] Therfor Symount Petre bikeneth [beckenede gβ.] to hym, `and seith to hym [Om. Eb pr. m. and seide to him b sec. m.] , Who is it, of whom he seith? [verse 25] And [Om. O.] so whanne he hadde restid aȝen [Om. k pr. m.] on the brest of Jhe|su, he seith to hym, Lord [Sire I.] , who is it? [verse 26] Jhesus answerde, He it is, to whom Y schal areche a sop of breed. And whanne he hadde wet breed, he ȝaf to Judas of Symount Scarioth. [verse 27] And aftir the mus|sel, thanne Sathanas entride in to hym. And Jhesus seith to hym, That thing that thou doist, do thou [it k.] swithe [anoon I.] . [verse 28] And noon of hem that saten at the mete

wiste, wherto he seide to hym. [verse 29] For summe gessiden, for Judas hadde pursis, that Jhesus hadde seid to hym, Bie thou tho thingis, that ben nedeful to vs to the feeste dai, or that he schulde ȝyue sum thing to nedi men. [verse 30] Therfor whanne he hadde takun the mussel, he wente out anoon; and [forsothe I.] it was nyȝt. [verse 31] And [Therfore I.] whanne he was [hadde I.] gon out, Jhesus seide, Now mannus sone is clarified, and God is cla|rified in hym. [verse 32] If God is clarified in hym, God [and God I.] schal clarifie hym in hym silf, and anoon he schal clarifie hym. [verse 33] Litle sones, ȝit a litil Y am with ȝou; ȝe schulen seke me, and, as Y seide to the Jewis, Whidur Y go, ȝe moun not come; and to ȝou Y seie now. [verse 34] Y ȝyue to ȝou a newe maunde|ment, that ȝe loue togidir, as Y louede [haue loued Ia sec. m. k sec. m. loue k pr. m.] ȝou, `and that [and at O. that S.] ȝe loue togidir. [verse 35] In this thing alle men schulen knowe, that ȝe ben my disciplis, if ȝe han loue togidere. [verse 36] Symount Petre seith to hym, Lord, whi|dur goist thou? Jhesus answeride, Whi|dur Y go, thou mayst not sue me now, but thou schalt sue [sue me Sa.] afterward. [verse 37] Petre seith to hym, Whi may Y not sue thee now? Y schal putte my lijf for thee. [verse 38] Jhesus answeride, Thou schalt putte thi lijf for me? Treuli, treuli, Y seie to thee, the cok schal not crowe, til thou schalt denye me thries. And he seith to hise disciplis,

CAP. XIV.

[verse 1] Be not ȝoure herte afraied, ne drede it; ȝe bileuen in God, and bileue ȝe in me. [verse 2] In the hous of my fadir ben many dwellyngis; if ony thing lesse, Y hadde seid to ȝou, for Y go to make redi to ȝou a place. [verse 3] And if Y go, and [to Ick.] make redi to ȝou a place, eftsoones Y come [schal come k pr. m.] , and Y schal take ȝou to my silf, that where Y am, ȝe be. [verse 4] And whidur Y go, ȝe witen, and ȝe witen the weie. [verse 5] Thomas seith to

hym, Lord, we witen not whidur thou goist, and hou moun we wite the weie? [verse 6] Jhesus seith to hym [hem k.] , Y am weie, treuthe, and lijf; no man cometh to the fadir, but bi me. [verse 7] If ȝe hadden knowe me, sotheli ȝe hadden knowe also my fadir; and aftirward ȝe schulen knowe hym, and ȝe han seyn hym. [verse 8] Filip seith to hym, Lord, schewe to vs the fadir, and it suffisith to vs. [verse 9] Jhesus seith to hym, So long [myche I.] tyme Y am with ȝou, and `han ȝe not [haue not R.] knowun me? Filip, he that seeth me, seeth also the fadir. Hou seist thou, schewe to vs the fadir? [verse 10] Bileuest thou not, that Y am in the fadir, and the fadir is in me? The wordis that Y speke to ȝou, Y speke not of my silf; but the fadir hym silf dwellynge [that dwellith I.] in me, doith the werkis. [verse 11] Bileue ȝe not, that Y am in the fadir, and the fadir is in me? [verse 12] Ellis bileue ȝe for thilke werkis. Treuli, treuli, Y seie to ȝou, if a man bileueth in me, also he schal do the werkis that Y do; and he schal do grettere werkis than these, for Y go to the fadir. [verse 13] And what euere thing [thingis I.] ȝe axen [asken R passim.] the fadir in my name, Y schal do this thing, that the fadir be glorified [clarified k.] in the sone. [verse 14] If ȝe axen ony thing in my name, Y schal do it. [verse 15] If ȝe louen me, kepe ȝe my comaundementis. [verse 16] And Y schal preye the fadir, and he schal ȝyue to ȝou another [verse 17] coumfortour, the spirit of treuthe, to dwelle with ȝou with outen ende; which [The whiche I.] spirit the world may not take, for it seeth hym not, nether knowith hym. But ȝe schulen knowe hym, for he schal dwelle with ȝou, and he schal be in ȝou. [verse 18] Y schal not leeue ȝou fadirles, Y schal come to ȝou. [verse 19] Ȝit a litil, and the world seeth not now [Om. a.] me; but ȝe schulen se me, for Y lyue, and ȝe schulen lyue. [verse 20] In that dai ȝe schulen knowe, that Y am in my

fadir, and ȝe in me, and Y in ȝou. [verse 21] He that hath my comaundementis, and kep|ith hem, he it is that loueth me; and he that loueth me, schal be loued of my fadir, and Y schal loue hym, and Y schal schewe to hym my silf. [verse 22] Judas seith to hym, not he of Scarioth, Lord, what is don, that thou schalt schewe thi silf to vs, and not to the world? [verse 23] Jhesus an|swerde [answeride to him k.] , and seide `to hym [Om. k.] , If ony man loueth me, he schal kepe my word; and my fadir schal loue hym, and we schulen come to hym, and we schulen dwelle with hym. [verse 24] He that loueth me not, kep|ith not my wordis; and the word which ȝe han herd, is not myn, but the fadris, that sente me. [verse 25] These thingis Y haue spokun to ȝou, dwellynge among ȝou; [verse 26] but thilke Hooli Goost, the coumfortour, whom the fadir schal sende in my name, he schal teche ȝou alle thingis, `and schal schewe to [Om.

[verse 27] Pees Y leeue to ȝou, my pees Y ȝyue to ȝou; not as the world ȝyueth, Y ȝiue to ȝou; be not ȝoure herte affrayed, ne drede it. [verse 28] Ȝe han herd, that Y seide to ȝou, Y go, and come to ȝou. If ȝe loueden me, for|sothe ȝe schulden haue ioye, for Y go to the fadir, for the fadir is grettere than Y. [verse 29] And now Y haue seid to ȝou, bifor that it be [is k.] don, that whanne it is don, ȝe [that ȝe k pr. m.] bileuen. [verse 30] Now Y schal not speke many thingis with ȝou; for the prince of this world cometh, and hath not in me ony thing. [verse 31] But that [at O.] the world knowe, that Y loue the fadir; and as the fadir ȝaf a comaundement [maundement ERik pr. m.] to me, so Y do. `Rise ȝe [Riseth I.] , go we hennus.

[verse 7] If ȝe dwellen in me, and my wordis dwelle in ȝou, what euer thing ȝe wolen, ȝe schulen axe, and it schal be don to ȝou. [verse 8] In this thing my fadir is clarified, that ȝe brynge forth ful myche fruyt, and that ȝe be maad my disciplis. [verse 9] As my fadir louede me, Y [and Y b.] haue loued ȝou; dwelle ȝe in my loue. [verse 10] If ȝe kepen [schul kepe I.] my comaundementis, ȝe schulen dwelle in my loue; as Y haue kept the co|maundementis of my fadir, and Y [Om. R pr. m. k.] dwelle [haf dwellid O. dwelle ȝe k.] in his loue. [verse 11] These thingis Y spak to ȝou, that my ioye [loue C.] be in ȝou, and ȝoure ioye be fulfillid [fillid I.] . [verse 12] This is my co|maundement, that ȝe loue togidere, as Y louede [haue loued IX sec. m. k.] ȝou. [verse 13] No man hath more loue than this, that a man putte his lijf for hise freendis. [verse 14] Ȝe [And ȝe Rk pr. m.] ben my freendis if ȝe doen tho thingis, that Y comaunde to ȝou. [verse 15] Now Y schal not clepe [sey I.] ȝou seruauntis, for the seruaunt woot not, what his lord schal do; but [forsothe I.] Y haue clepid [seid I.] ȝou freendis, for alle thingis what euere Y herde of my fadir, Y [and I I.] haue maad

knowun to ȝou. [verse 16] Ȝe han not chosun me, but Y chees ȝou; and Y haue put ȝou, that ȝe go, and brynge forth fruyt, and ȝoure fruyt dwelle; that what euere thing ȝe [that ȝe O.] axen [asken R.] the fadir in my name, he ȝyue to ȝou. [verse 17] These thingis Y comaunde to [Om. P pr. m.] ȝou, that ȝe loue togidere. [verse 18] If the world hatith [hate A pr. m. E.] ȝou, wite ȝe, that it hadde me in hate rather than ȝou. [verse 19] If ȝe hadden be of the world, the world schulde loue that thing that was [was of E. is a pr. m.] his; but for ȝe ben not of the world, but Y chees ȝou fro the world, therfor the world hatith ȝou. [verse 20] Haue ȝe mynde of my word, which Y seide to ȝou, The seruaunt is not grettere than his lord. If thei han pursued me, thei schulen pursue ȝou also; if thei han kept my word, thei schulen kepe ȝoure also. [verse 21] But thei schulen do to ȝou alle these thingis for my name, for thei knowen not hym that sente me. [verse 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. [verse 23] He that hatith me, hatith also my fadir. [verse 24] If Y hadde not doon werkis [the werkis k.] in hem, whiche noon other man dide, thei schulden not haue synne; but now both thei han seyn, and hatid [han hatid EIKPQR sec. m. bceghikαβ. han herd S.] me and my fadir. [verse 25] But that the word be fulfillid, that is writun in her lawe, For thei hadden me in hate with outen cause. [verse 26] But whanne the coumfortour schal come, which Y schal sende to ȝou fro the fadir, a [the k pr. m.] spirit of treuthe, which cometh [cometh forth O.] of the fadir, he schal bere witnessyng of me; and ȝe schulen bere witnessyng, for ȝe ben with me fro the bigynnyng.

CAP. XVI.

[verse 1] These thingis Y haue spokun to ȝou, that ȝe be not sclaundrid. [verse 2] Thei schulen

make ȝou with outen the [Om. I.] synagogis, but the our cometh, that ech man that sleeth ȝou, deme [demeth O.] that he doith seruyce to God. [verse 3] And thei schulen do to ȝou these thingis, for thei han not knowun the fadir, ne|ther me. [verse 4] But these thingis Y spak to ȝou, that whanne the our `of hem [Om. O.] schal come [come of hem O.] , ȝe haue mynde, that Y seide to ȝou. [verse 5] Y seide not to ȝou these thingis fro the bigynnyng, for Y was with ȝou. And now Y go to hym that sente me, and no man of ȝou axith me, Whidur [verse 6] `thou goist [goost thou hik sec. m. β.] ? but for Y haue spokun to ȝou these thingis, heuynesse hath fulfillid ȝoure herte. [verse 7] But Y seie to ȝou treuthe, it spedith to ȝou, that Y go; for if Y go not forth, the coumfortour schal not come to ȝou; but if Y go forth, Y schal sende hym to ȝou. [verse 8] And whanne he cometh, he schal repreue the world of synne, and of riȝtwisnesse, and of doom. [verse 9] Of synne, [verse 10] for thei han not bileued in [to k.] me; and of riȝtwisnesse, for Y go to the fadir, and [verse 11] now ȝe [thei g.] schulen not se me; but of doom, for the prince of this world is now demed. [verse 12] Ȝit Y haue many thingis for [Om. Cbek.] to seie to ȝou, but ȝe moun not bere hem now. [verse 13] But whanne thilke [the b.] spirit of treuthe cometh, he schal teche ȝou al trewthe; for he schal not speke of hym silf, but what euer thinges he schal here, he schal speke; and he schal telle to ȝou tho thingis that ben to come. [verse 14] He schal clarifie me, for of myne he schal take, and schal telle to ȝou. [verse 15] Alle thingis `whiche euer [what euer EP. what euere thingis I.] the fadir hath, ben myne; therfor Y seide to ȝou, for [that I.] of myne he schal take, and schal telle to ȝou. [verse 16] A litil, and thanne ȝe schulen not se me; and eftsoone a litil, and [and than O.] ȝe schulen se me, for Y go to the fadir. [verse 17] Therfor summe of hise disciplis seiden togidere, What is

this thing that he seith to vs, A litil, and ȝe schulen not se me; and eftsoone a litil, and ȝe schulen se me, for Y go to the fadir? [verse 18] Therfor thei seiden, What is this that he seith to vs, A litil? we witen not what he spekith. [verse 19] And Jhesus knew, that thei wolden axe hym, and he seide to hem, Of this thing ȝe seken among ȝou, for Y seide, A litil, and ȝe schulen not se me; and eftsoone a litil, and ȝe schulen se me. [verse 20] Treuli, treuli, Y seie to ȝou, that ȝe schulen mourne and wepe, but the world schal haue ioye; and ȝe schulen be soreuful, but ȝoure sorewe schal turne in to ioye. [verse 21] A wom|man whanne sche berith child, hath heuynesse, for hir tyme is comun; but whanne sche hath borun a sone, now sche thenkith not on the peyne, for ioye, for a man is borun in to the world. [verse 22] And therfor ȝe han now sorew, but eftsoone Y schal se ȝou, and ȝoure herte schal haue ioie, and no man schal take fro ȝou ȝoure ioie. [verse 23] And in that day ȝe schulen not axe me ony thing; treuli, treuli, `Y seie to ȝou [Om. O.] , if ȝe axen the fadir ony thing in my name, he schal ȝyue to ȝou. [verse 24] `Til now ȝe axiden no thing in my name [Om. O.] ; `axe ȝe [axeth I.] , `and ȝe schulen take, that ȝoure ioie be ful [that ȝoure ioie be ful, and ȝe schulen take obchik pr. m.] . [verse 25] Y haue spokun to ȝou these thingis in prouerbis; the our cometh, whanne now Y schal not speke to ȝou in prouerbis, but opynli of my fadir Y schal telle to ȝou. [verse 26] In that dai ȝe schulen axe in my name; and Y seie not to ȝou, that Y schal preye the [verse 27] fadir of [for h sec. m. ik pr. m.] ȝou; for the fadir hym silf loueth ȝou, for ȝe han loued me, and han bileued, that Y wente out fro God. [verse 28] Y [And I b pr. m. k pr. m.] wente out fro the fadir, and Y cam in to the world; eftsoone [and eftsone Ek pr. m.] Y leeue the world, and Y [Om. i.] go to the fadir. [verse 29] Hise

disciplis seiden to hym, Lo! now thou spekist opynli, and thou seist no pro|uerbe. [verse 30] Now we witen, that thou wost [wotist R.] alle thingis; and it is not [no b.] nede to thee, that ony man axe thee. In this thing we bileuen, that thou wentist out fro God. [verse 31] Jhesus answeride to hem, Now ȝe bileuen. [verse 32] Lo! the our cometh, and now it cometh, that ȝe be disparplid, ech in to hise owne thingis, and that ȝe leeue me aloone; and Y am not aloone, for the fadir is with me. [verse 33] These thingis Y haue spokun to ȝou, that ȝe haue pees in me; in the world ȝe schulen haue disese, but trust ȝe, Y haue ouercomun the world.

CAP. XVII.

[verse 1] These thingis Jhesus spak, and whanne he hadde cast vp hise iȝen in to heuene, he seide, Fadir, the our cometh, clarifie thi sone, that thi sone clarifie thee. [verse 2] As thou hast ȝouun to [Om. a.] hym power on [of plures.] ech fleisch, that al thing that thou hast ȝouun to hym, he ȝyue to hem euerlast|ynge lijf. [verse 3] And this is [Om. I.] euerlastynge lijf, that thei knowe thee very God aloone, and whom thou hast sent, Jhesu Crist. [verse 4] Y haue clarified thee on the [Om. C.] erthe, Y haue endid the werk, that thou hast ȝouun to [Om. R pr. m. bβ.] me to do. [verse 5] And now, fadir, clarifie thou [Om. Cβ.] me at thi silf, with the clerenesse that Y hadde at thee, bifor the world was maad. [verse 6] Y haue schewid thi name to tho men, whiche thou hast ȝouun to me of the world; thei weren thine, and thou hast ȝouun hem to me, and thei han kept thi word. [verse 7] And now thei han knowun, that alle thingis that thou hast ȝouun to me, ben of thee. [verse 8] For the wordis that thou hast ȝouun to me, Y ȝaf to hem; and thei han takun, and han knowun verili, that Y wente out fro thee; and thei bileueden, that thou sentist me. [verse 9] Y preie for hem, Y preye not for the

world, but for hem that thou hast ȝouun to me, for thei ben thine. [verse 10] And alle my thingis ben thine, and thi thingis ben myne; and Y am clarified in hem. [verse 11] And now Y am not in the world, and these ben in the world, and Y come to thee. Hooli fadir, kepe hem in thi name, whiche thou ȝauest [hast ȝouen I.] to me, that thei ben oon, as we ben [ben oon hik.] . [verse 12] While Y was with hem, Y kepte hem in thi name; thilke that thou ȝauest to me, Y kepte, and noon of hem perischide, but the sone of perdicioun, that the scripture be fulfillid. [verse 13] But now Y come to thee, and Y speke these thingis in the world, that thei haue my ioie fulfillid in hem silf. [verse 14] Y ȝaf to hem thi word, and the world hadde hem in hate; for thei ben not of the world, as [as also O.] Y am not of the world. [verse 15] Y preye not, that thou take hem awei fro the world, but that thou kepe hem fro yuel. [verse 16] They ben not of the world, as Y am not of the world. [verse 17] Halewe thou [Om. C.] hem in treuth [the treuthe S pr. m. g.] ; thi word is treuthe. [verse 18] As thou sentist me in to the world, also Y sente [sende gk.] hem `in to [in O.] the world. [verse 19] And Y halewe my silf for hem, that also thei ben halewid in treuthe. [verse 20] And Y preye not oneli for hem, but also for hem that schulden [verse 21] bileue in to me bi the word of hem; 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. [verse 22] And Y haue ȝouun to hem the clerenesse, that thou hast ȝouun to me, that [and a sec. m.] thei [verse 23] ben oon, as we ben oon; Y [and I EPQSb pr. m. chik pr. m. a.] in hem, and thou in me, that thei be endid in to [Om. R pr. m.] oon; and that the world knowe, that thou sentist me, and hast loued hem, as thou hast loued also me. [verse 24] Fadir, thei [tho i.] whiche thou ȝauest [hast ȝouen I.] to me, Y wole that [Om. A.] where

Y am, that thei be with me, that thei see my clerenesse, that thou hast ȝouun to me; for thou louedist me bifor the mak|yng of the world. [verse 25] Fadir, riȝtfuli the world knew thee not, but Y knew thee, and these knewen, that thou sentist me. [verse 26] And Y haue maad thi name knowun to hem, and schal make knowun; that the loue bi which thou `hast loued [louedist O.] me, be in hem, and Y in hem.

CAP. XVIII.

[verse 1] Whanne Jhesus hadde seid these thingis, he wente out with hise disciplis ouer the strond of Cedron, where was a ȝerd [or a gardyn X sec. m. marg.] , in to which he entride [went O.] , and hise disciplis. [verse 2] And Judas, that bitrayede hym, knew the place, for ofte Jhesus cam thidur with hise disciplis. [verse 3] Therfor whanne Judas hadde takun a cumpany of knyȝtis, and mynystris of the bischopis and of the [Om. b pr. m.] Fariseis, he cam thidur with lanternys, and brondis, and armeris. [verse 4] And so Jhesus witynge alle thingis that weren to come on hym, wente forth, and seide to hem, Whom seken ȝe? [verse 5] Thei answer|iden [saiden O.] to hym, Jhesu of Nazareth. Jhe|sus seith to hem, Y am. And Judas that bitraiede hym, stood with hem. [verse 6] And whanne he seide to hem, Y am, thei wenten abak, and fellen doun on the erthe. [verse 7] And eft [eftsone O.] he axide hem, Whom seken ȝe? And thei seiden, Jhesu of Nazareth. [verse 8] He answeride [said O.] to hem, Y seide to ȝou, that Y am; therfor if ȝe seken me, suffre ȝe these to go awei. [verse 9] That the word which he seide schulde be fulfillid, For Y loste not ony of hem, whiche thou `hast ȝouun [ȝaf O.] to me. [verse 10] Ther|for Symount Petre hadde a swerd, and drow it out, and smoot the seruaunt of

the bischop, and kittide [kitte ISe pr. m. hik.] of his riȝt eer. And the name of the seruaunt was Mal|cus. [verse 11] Therfor Jhesus seide to Petre, Putte thou thi swerd in to thi schethe; wolt thou not, that [Om. Ca.] Y drynke the cuppe, that my fadir ȝaf to me? [verse 12] Therfor the cum|penye of knyȝtis, and the tribune, and the [Om. k.] mynystris of the Jewis, token Jhe|su, [verse 13] and bounden hym, and ledden hym first to Annas; for he was fadir of Caifas wijf, that was bischop of that ȝeer. [verse 14] And it was Caifas, that ȝaf counsel to the Jewis, that it spedith, that o man die for the puple. [verse 15] But Symount Petre suede Jhesu, and another disciple; and thilke disciple was knowun to the bischop. And he entride with Jhesu, in to the [verse 16] halle of the bischop; but Petre stood at the dore with outforth. Therfor `the tother [the oother I. that other a. thilke othir k.] disciple, that was knowun to the bischop, wente out, and seide to the wom|man that kepte the dore, and brouȝte in Petre. [verse 17] And the damysel, kepere of the dore, seide to Petre, Whether thou art also of this mannys disciplis? He seide, Y am not. [verse 18] And the seruantis and mynystris stooden at the coolis, for it was coold, and thei warmyden hem; and Petre was with hem, stondynge and warmynge hym. [verse 19] And the bischop axide Jhesu [him O.] of hise disciplis, and of his techyng. [verse 20] Jhesus answerde to hym, Y haue spokun opynli to the world; Y tauȝte euermore in the synagoge, and in the temple, whider alle the Jewis camen togidere, and in hiddlis Y spak no thing. [verse 21] What axist thou me? axe hem that herden [herden me O.] , what Y haue spokun to hem; lo [and O.] ! thei witen, what thingis Y haue seid. [verse 22] Whanne he hadde seid these thingis, oon of the mynystris stondynge niȝ, ȝaf a buffat to Jhesu, and seide, Answerist thou so to the bischop? [verse 23] Jhesus answer|ide to hym, If Y haue spokun yuel, bere

thou witnessyng of yuel; but if Y seide wel, whi smytist thou me? [verse 24] And Annas sente hym boundun to Caifas, the bi|schop. [verse 25] And Symount Petre stood, and warmyde him; and thei seiden to hym, Whether also thou art his disciple? He denyede, and seide, Y am not. [verse 26] Oon of the bischops seruantis, cosyn of [to O.] hym, whos eere Petre kitte of, seide, Saȝ Y thee not in the ȝerd with hym? [verse 27] And Petre eftsoone denyede, and anoon the cok crew. [verse 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. [verse 29] Therfor Pilat wente out [Om. k sec. m.] with outforth to hem, and seide, What accusyng brynge ȝe aȝens this man? [verse 30] Thei answeriden, and seiden to hym, If this were not a mysdoere, we hadden not bitakun hym to thee. [verse 31] Thanne Pilat seith to hem, Take ȝe hym, and deme ȝe him, after ȝoure lawe. And the Jewis seiden to hym, It is not leueful to vs to sle ony [verse 32] man; that the word of Jhesu schulde be fulfillid, whiche he seide, signifiynge bi what deth he schulde die. [verse 33] Therfor eft|soone Pilat entride in to the moot halle, and clepide Jhesu, and seide to hym, Art thou kyng of Jewis? [verse 34] Jhesus an|swerde, and seide to hym, Seist thou this thing of thi silf, ether [or O.] othere han seid to thee of me? [verse 35] Pilat answeride, Whether Y am a Jewe? Thi folc and bischops [thi bishops Xhi. the bischopis a.] bitoken [token O.] thee to me; what hast thou don? [verse 36] Jhesus answeride, My kingdom is not of this world; if my kingdom were of this world, my mynys|tris schulden [wolden Ia sec. m.] stryue, that Y schulde not be takun to the Jewis; but now my kingdom is not here. [verse 37] And so Pilat [Om. EPQSX pr. m. abcgα.]

seide to hym, Thanne `thou art [art thou g.] a king. Jhesus answeride, Thou seist, that Y am a king. To this thing Y am borun, and to this [this thing O.] Y `am comun [cam R.] in to the [this EIP.] world, to bere witnessing to treuthe. Eche that is of treuthe, herith my vois. [verse 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. [verse 39] But it is a cus|tom to ȝou, that Y delyuere oon to ȝou in pask; therfor wole ȝe that Y dely|uere to ȝou the kyng of Jewis? [verse 40] Alle [alle thei I.] crieden eftsoone, and seiden, Not this, but Baraban. And Barabas was a theef.

CAP. XIX.

[verse 1] Therfor Pilat took thanne Jhesu, and scourgide [scourgide him CIKb sec. m. k.] . [verse 2] And kniȝtis writhen a coroun of thornes, and setten on his heed [heued O.] , and [verse 3] diden aboute hym a cloth of purpur, and camen to him, and seiden, Heil, kyng of Jewis. And thei ȝauen to him buffatis. [verse 4] Eftsoone Pilat wente out, and seide to hem, Lo! Y brynge hym out to ȝou, that ȝe knowe, that Y fynde no cause in him. [verse 5] And so Jhesus wente out, berynge a coroun of thornes, and a cloth of pur|pur. And he seith to hem, Lo! the man. [verse 6] But [Om. O.] whanne the bischopis and mynystris hadden seyn hym, thei crieden, and seiden, Crucifie, crucifie hym. Pilat seith to hem, Take ȝe hym, and crucifie ȝe [Om. Rih.] , for Y fynde no cause in hym. [verse 7] The Jewis answeriden to hym, We han a lawe, and bi the lawe he owith to die, for he made hym Goddis sone. [verse 8] Therfor whanne Pilat hadde herd this word, he dredde the more. [verse 9] And he wente in to the moot halle eftsoone [eftsons O passim.] , and seide to Jhesu [him I.] , Of whennus art thou? But Jhesus ȝaf

noon answere to him. [verse 10] Pilat seith to him, Spekist thou not to me? Woost [Wotist R.] thou not, that Y haue power to crucifie thee, and Y haue power to delyuere thee? [verse 11] Jhesus answeride, Thou schuldist not `haue ony power aȝens me, but [but if K sec. m.] it were ȝouun to thee from aboue; therfor he that bitook me to thee, hath the more synne. [verse 12] Fro that tyme Pilat souȝte to delyuere hym; but the Jewis crieden, and seiden, If thou delyuerist this man [Om. CEKMPQRSUXabceghikα.] , thou art not the emperouris freend; for ech man that makith hym silf king, aȝen seith the emperoure. [verse 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. [verse 14] And it was pask eue [euyn CEIKPQRUXacegkα.] , as it were the sixte our. And he seith to the Jewis, Lo! ȝoure king. [verse 15] But thei crieden, and seiden, Take awei, take awei; cru|cifie him. Pilat seith to hem, Schal I crucifie ȝoure king? The bischops an|sweriden, We han no king but the emperour. [verse 16] And thanne Pilat bitook him to hem, that he schulde be crucified. And thei token Jhesu, and ledden him out. [verse 17] And he bar to hym silf a cros, and wente out in to that place, that is seid [verse 18] of [Om. CEIPQS sec. m. eα.] Caluarie, in Ebreu Golgatha; where thei crucifieden him, and othere tweyne with him, oon on this side and oon on that side, and Jhesus in the myddil. [verse 19] And Pilat wroot a title, and sette on the cros; and it was writun, Jhesu of Nazareth, king of Jewis. [verse 20] Therfor manye of the Jewis redden this title, for the place where Jhesus was crucified, was niȝ the citee, and it [Om. O.] was writun in Ebreu, Greek, and Latyn. [verse 21] Therfor the

bischops of the Jewis seiden to Pilat, Nyle thou write kyng of Jewis, but for [that C.] he seide, Y [that Y k.] am king of Jewis. [verse 22] Pilat answeride, That that Y haue writun, Y haue writun. [verse 23] Therfor the knyȝtis whanne [whan that O.] thei hadden crucified hym, token hise clothis, and maden foure partis, to ech knyȝt a part, and a coot. And the coot was without seem, and wouun al aboute. [verse 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 [castiden EOPabgh sec. m. i. kesten Rα.] lot. And the kniȝtis diden these thingis. [verse 25] But bisidis the cros of Jhesu stoden his modir, and the sistir of his modir, Marie Cleofe, and Marie Maudeleyne. [verse 26] Therfor whanne Jhesu hadde seyn his modir, and the disciple stondynge, whom he louyde, he seith to hise modir, Wom|man, lo thi sone. [verse 27] Aftyrward he seith to the disciple, Lo! thi modir. And fro that our the disciple took hir in to his modir. [verse 28] Aftirward Jhesus witynge, that now alle thingis ben endid, that the scripture were fulfillid, he seith, Y thirste. [verse 29] And a vessel was set ful of vynegre [aysel a sec. m. eisel I.] . And thei `leiden in isope aboute the spounge ful of vynegre [leiden in isope aboute the spounge ful of aisel a sec. m. token a spounge full of eisel puttinge it aboute with ysope I. Om. S pr. m.] , and putten [profriden it I. puttiden EPK.] to his mouth. [verse 30] Therfor [And I.] whanne Jhesus hadde `takun the vynegre [taken the aisel a sec. m. tastid this eisel I.] , he seid, It is endid. And `whanne his heed was bowid doun [he bowide doun the heed I.] , `he ȝaf vp the goost [and sente out the spirit I.] . [verse 31] Therfor for it was the [Om. EPQ.] pask eue [euyn CEKP QRSIUXacegkα.] , 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 [Om. R pr. m.] takun awei. [verse 32] Therfor [And therfore O.] knyȝtis camen, and thei braken the thies [hippis I.] of the firste,

and of the tothere [oother I.] , that was crucified with hym. [verse 33] But whanne thei weren comun to Jhesu, as thei sayn him deed [verse 34] thanne, thei braken not hise thies; but oon of the knyȝtis openyde his side with a spere, and anoon blood and watir wenten out. [verse 35] And he that saiȝ, bare witnessyng, and his witnessing is trewe; and he woot that he seith trewe thingis, that ȝe bileue. [verse 36] And these thingis weren don, that the scripture schulde be [were I.] ful|fillid [fillid CMPQRXabceghiα. fullid E.] , Ȝe schulen not breke [ether make lesse K marg.] a boon of hym. [verse 37] And eftsoone another scripture seith, Thei schulen se in [in to CEI KMPQRSUXabceghikαβ.] whom thei piȝten thorow. [verse 38] But after these thingis Joseph of Armathi preyede Pilat, that he schulde take awei the bodi of Jhesu, for that he was a [Om. b.] disciple of Jhesu, but priui [priueli A pr. m. a.] for drede of the Jewis. And Pilat suffride. And so he cam, and took awei the bodi of Jhesu. [verse 39] And Nycho|deme cam also, that hadde come to hym first bi nyȝt, and brouȝte a meddlynge of myrre and aloes, as it were an hundrid pound. [verse 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 [Om. IK pr. m.] to birie. [verse 41] And in the place where he was crucified, was a ȝerd [gardyn I.] , and in the ȝerd [gardyn I.] a newe graue, in which ȝit no man was leid. [verse 42] Therfor there thei putten [puttiden Ei.] Jhesu, for the vigilie [vigile EORbcehikαβ.] of Jewis feeste, for the sepulcre was niȝ.

[verse 1] And in o dai of the wouke Marie Maudeleyn cam eerli [ful erly sg.] to the graue, whanne it was ȝit derk. And sche say the stoon moued [ethir turned aȝen K marg.] awei fro the graue. [verse 2] Therfor sche ran, and cam to Symount Petre, and to another disciple, whom Jhe|sus louede, and seith to hem, Thei han

takun the Lord fro the graue, and we witen not, where thei han leid hym. [verse 3] Therfor Petre wente out, and thilke other disciple, and thei camen to the graue. [verse 4] And thei tweyne runnen togidre, and thilke othere disciple [Om. O.] ran bifor Petre, and cam first to the graue. [verse 5] And whanne he stoupide, he sai the schetis liynge [ligginge EPQehiαβ.] , netheles he entride not. [verse 6] Therfor Sy|mount Petre cam suynge hym, and he entride in to the graue, and he say the [verse 7] schetis leid, and the sudarie that was on his heed [heued O passim.] , not leid with the schetis, but bi it silf wlappid [laid O.] in to a [Om. A pr. m. OO IKRsabcg.] place. [verse 8] Ther|for thanne [whanne A pr. m. Eb.] thilke disciple that cam first to the graue, entride, and sai, and bileu|ede. [verse 9] For thei knewen not ȝit [Om. K pr. m.] the scrip|ture, that it behofte him to rise aȝen fro deth. [verse 10] Therfor the disciplis wenten eft|soone to hem silf. [verse 11] But Marie stood at the graue with outforth wepynge. And the [Om. S pr. m.] while sche wepte, sche bowide hir, and bihelde forth in to the graue. [verse 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. [verse 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. [verse 14] Whanne sche hadde seid these thingis, sche turnede bacward, and sai Jhesu stondinge, and wiste not that it was Jhesu. [verse 15] Jhesus seith to hir, Womman, what wepist thou? whom sekist thou? She gess|ynge that he was a [the E.] 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. [verse 16] Jhesus seith to hir, Marie. Sche `turnede, and [turned A sec. m.] seith to hym, Rabony, that is to seie, Maister. [verse 17] Jhesus seith to hir, Nyle thou touche me, for Y haue not ȝit stied to

my fadir; but go [go thou k.] to my britheren, and seie to hem, Y stie to my fadir and to ȝoure fadir, to my God and to ȝoure God. [verse 18] Marie Maudeleyne cam, tellinge to the disciplis, That Y sai the Lord, and these thingis he seide to me. [verse 19] Therfor whanne it was eue [euen plures.] in that dai, oon [Om. b pr. m.] of the sa|batis, and the ȝatis weren schit, where the disciplis weren gaderid [gaderid togidere k.] , for drede of the Jewis, Jhesus cam, and stood in the myddil of the disciplis, and he seith to hem, Pees to ȝou. [verse 20] And whanne he hadde seid this, he schewide to hem hondis and side; therfor the disciplis ioieden, for the Lord was seyn. [verse 21] And he seith to hem eft, Pees to ȝou; as the fadir sente me, Y sende ȝou. [verse 22] Whanne he had seid this, he blewe on hem, and seide, Take ȝe [verse 23] the Hooli Goost; whos synnes ȝe for|ȝyuen, tho ben forȝouun to hem; and whos [whos synnes b.] ȝe withholden, tho ben with|holdun. [verse 24] But Thomas, oon of the twelue, that is [was O.] seid Didimus, was not with hem, whanne Jhesus cam. [verse 25] Therfor the othere disciplis seiden, We han seyn the Lord. And he seide to hem, But Y se in hise hondis the fitchinge [fychyngis O.] of the [Om. hk.] nailis, and putte my fyngur in to the places [place A sec. m. EORkαβ.] of the nailis, and putte myn hond in to his side, Y schal not bileue. [verse 26] And after eiȝte daies eftsoone hise disciplis weren with ynne, and Thomas with hem. Jhesus [and Jhesus k.] cam, while [whan O.] the ȝatis weren schit, and stood in the myddil, and seide, Pees to ȝou. [verse 27] Afterward he seith to Thomas, Putte in [thou g.] here thi fyngur, and se myn hondis, and putte [putte in k.] hidur thin hond, and putte in to my side, and nyle thou be vnbileueful, but feithful. [verse 28] Thomas an|sweride, and seide to him, My Lord and

my God. [verse 29] Jhesus seith [answerd O.] to him, Thomas, for thou hast seyn me, thou bileuedist; blessid ben thei, that seyn not, and han bileued. [verse 30] And Jhesus dide many othere signes in the siȝt of hise disciplis, whiche ben not writun in this book. [verse 31] But these ben writun, that ȝe bileue, that Jhesus `is Crist [Crist is A.] , the sone of God, and that ȝe bi|leuynge haue lijf in his name.

CAP. XXI.

[verse 1] Afterward Jhesus eftsoone schewide hym to hise disciplis, at the see of Tibe|rias. And he schewide him thus. [verse 2] There weren togidere Symount Petre, and Tho|mas, that is seid Didimus, and Nathanael, that was [is O.] of the Cane of Galilee, and the sones of Zebedee, and tweyne othere of hise disciplis. [verse 3] Symount Petre seith to hem, Y go to fische. Thei seyn to hym, And we comen with thee. And `thei wenten [he wente k.] out, `and wenten [and stiȝeden K sup. ras. Om. EIPQeg. and wenten out α.] in to a boot. And in that niȝt thei token no thing. [verse 4] But whanne the morewe was comun, Jhesus stood in the brenke; netheles the disciplis knewen not, that it was Jhesus. [verse 5] Therfor Jhesus seith to hem, Children, whethir ȝe han ony souping thing? Thei answeriden to hym, Nay. He seide to [verse 6] hem, Putte ȝe the [Om. K pr. m.] nett in to the riȝt half of the rowing, and ȝe schulen fynde. And thei puttiden the nett; and thanne thei miȝten not drawe it for multitude of fischis. [verse 7] Therfor thilke disciple, whom Jhesus louede, seide to Petre, It is the Lord. Symount Petre, whanne he hadde herd that [Om. R pr. m.] it is the Lord, girte hym with a coote, for he was nakid, and wente in to the see. [verse 8] But the othere disciplis camen bi boot, for thei weren not fer fro the lond, but as a two hundrid cubitis, drawinge the nett of fischis. [verse 9] And as

thei camen doun in to the lond, thei sayn coolis liynge [liggynge EIPQehαβ.] , and a [Om. I.] fisch leid on, and breed. [verse 10] Jhesus [And Jhesus k.] seith to hem, Bringe ȝe of the fyschis, whiche ȝe han takun now. [verse 11] Symount Petre wente vp, and drowȝ the nett in to the lond, ful of grete fischis, an hundrid fifti and thre; and whanne thei weren so manye, the nett was not brokun. [verse 12] Jhesus seith to hem, Come ȝe, ete [and ete k.] ȝe. And no man of hem that saten at the mete, durste axe hym, Who art thou, witinge that it is the Lord. [verse 13] And Jhesus cam, and took breed, and ȝaf to hem, and fisch [fischis k.] also. [verse 14] Now this thridde tyme Jhesus was schewid to hise disciplis, whanne he hadde risun aȝen fro deth. [verse 15] And whanne thei [he b.] hadde etun, Jhesus seith to Si|mount Petre, Symount of Joon, louest thou me more than these? He seith to him, Ȝhe, Lord, thou woost that Y loue thee. Jhesus seith to hym, Fede thou my lambren. [verse 16] Eft [And eft O.] he seith to hym, Sy|mount of Joon, louest thou me? He seith to him, Ȝhe, Lord, thou woost that Y loue thee. He seith to him, Fede thou my lambren. [verse 17] He seith to him the thridde tyme, Simount of Joon, louest thou me? Petre was heuy, for he seith [seide a.] to hym the thridde tyme, Louest thou me, and he seith to him, Lord, thou knowist alle thingis; thou woost that Y loue thee. Jhesus seith to hym, Fede [Fede thou k.] my scheep. [verse 18] Treuli, treuli, Y seie to thee, whanne thou were ȝongere, thou girdidist [girdest sack.] thee, and wandridist where thou woldist; but whanne thou schalt waxe eldere, thou schalt holde forth thin hondis, and another schal girde thee, and schal lede thee whidur thou wolt not. [verse 19] He seide this thing, signifiynge bi what deth he schulde glorifie God. And

whanne he hadde seid these thingis, he seith to hym, Sue thou me. [verse 20] Petre turn|ede, and say thilke disciple suynge, whom Jhesus louede, which also restid in the soper on his brest, and he [Om. I.] seide to hym, Lord, who is it, that schal bitraie thee? [verse 21] Therfor whanne Petre hadde seyn this [this disciple IX sec. m. ak. this man X pr. m.] , he seith to Jhesu, Lord, but what this [he this IQ sec. m. k pr. m.] ? [verse 22] Jhesus seith to him, So I wole that he dwelle til that [Om. k.] Y come, what to thee? sue thou me. [verse 23] Therfor this word wente out among the bri|theren, that thilke disciple dieth not. And Jhesus seide not to hym, that he dieth not, but, So Y wole that he dwelle til Y come, what to thee? [verse 24] This is thilke disciple, that berith witnessyng of these thingis, and wroot hem; and we witen, that his witnessyng is trewe. [verse 25] And ther ben also manye othere thingis that Jhe|sus dide, whiche if thei ben [weren O.] writun bi [Om. IKXa sec. m. k pr. m.] ech bi hym silf, Y deme that the world hym [it I.] silf schal [schulde k pr. m.] not take tho [the Ibk.] bookis, that ben to be writun.
