[verse 1] Aftirward Jhesu eft [eftsoone A pr. m. GMNPQSTWXY. Om. V.] schewide him to his disciplis, at the see of Tyberias [Tyberiadis A pr. m. GMNPQSTWXY.] . Sothli he schewide [schewed him G sec. m.] thus. [verse 2] Ther weren to gidere Symount Petre, and Thomas, that is seid [Om. G pr. m. Y.] Didymus, and Nathanael, that was of the [Om. M.] Cane of Galilee, and the sones of Zebedee, and tweye [two MPXY.] othere of his disciplis. [verse 3] Sy|mount Petre seith to hem, I go for [Om. SX.] to fysche. Thei seyn to him, And we comen with thee. And thei ȝeden [wenten AGMNPQSTWXY.] out, and stiȝ|eden in to a boot. And in that niȝt [thing K.] thei token nothing. [verse 4] Forsoth the morwe maad, Jhesu stood in the brynke; nethelees the [Om. G pr. m. NTXY.] disciplis knewen not, for it was [is AGMNPQSTVWXY.] Jhesu. [verse 5] Therfore Jhesu seith to hem, Children [Childer SY.] , wher [whether X.] ȝe han ony soupynge thing? [verse 6] Thei answeriden [answerden to him N.] , Nay. He seide to hem, Send ȝe the nett in to the riȝt|half of the rowyng, and ȝe schulen fynde. Therfore thei senten the nett, and [answerden to him N.] now thei myȝten not drawe it, for multitude of fyschis. [verse 7] Therfore thilke [that X.] disciple, whom [that Q. the whiche MTXY.] Jhesu louede, seide to Petre, It is the Lord. Symount Petre, whanne he hadde herd for [Om. S.] it was [is AGMNPQSTVWXY.] the Lord, girte him with a coote, sothli he was nakid, and sente him in to the see. [verse 8] Sothli othere disciplis camen by boot [boot, or rowyng A pr. m. GNTY. boot, or rowynge to the lond Q.] , for thei weren not fer fro the lond, but as [as it were A pr. m. S.] two hundrid cubitis, drawynge the nett of fischis. [verse 9] Therfore as thei camen doun in to the lond, thei

syȝen colis put, and a [Om. G pr. m. XY.] fysch `put aboue [putt vpon G pr. m. NQTWY. putt thervpon G sec. m. MP. put theron S. put on X.] , and [Om. N.] breed. [verse 10] Jhesu seith to hym, Brynge ȝe of the fischis, whiche [the whiche A pr. m. GMNPQTWY. that X.] ȝe han taken now. [verse 11] Symount Petre stiȝede vp, and drowȝ the nett in to the lond, ful of grete fischis, an hundrid fyfti and thre; and whanne thei weren so greete [many A pr. m. G pr. m. MNPQSTXY.] , the nett is not brokun. [verse 12] Jhesu seith to hem, Come ȝe, `ete ȝe [etith X.] . And no man of [Om. G.] `the sittinge [sittyng GNQTY.] at mete [the mete ANSTWX.] durste axe him, Who [whot X.] art thou, witinge for it is the Lord. [verse 13] And Jhesu cam, and took breed, and ȝaf to hem, and the [Om. QXY.] fysch also. [verse 14] Now this [this is the NW.] thridde day [tyme, or dai A sup. ras. GNQTY. tyme MPWX.] Jhesu is schewid to his disciplis, whanne he `hadde rise [roos MNPQTXY.] aȝen fro deed men [Om. M.] . [verse 15] Ther|fore [And O.] whanne thei hadden etyn, Jhesu seith to Symount Petre, Symount of John, louest thou me more than thes don [Om. A pr. m. GMNPQSTWXY.] ? He seith to hym, Ȝhe, Lord, thou wost for I loue thee. Jhesu seith to him, Feede thou [Om. X.] my lambren. [verse 16] Eft he seith to hym, Symount of John, louest thou me? And [Om. AGMNPQSTVWXY.] he seith to him, Ȝhe, Lord, thou wost for I loue thee. [verse 17] He seith to him, Feede thou my lambren. He seith to him the thridde tyme, Symount of John, louest thou me? Petre is sori [sorie, or heuy A pr. m. GMNPQSTWY.] , for he seith [seide X.] to him the thridde tyme, Louest thou me, and he seith to him, Lord, thou wost alle thingis; thou wost for I loue thee. Jhesu seith to him, Feede thou [Om. A pr. m. GMNPQSTVWXY.] my scheep. [verse 18] Treuli, treuli, I seie to thee, whanne thou were ȝongere, thou girdedist [girdist MNPQWY. girtest SX.] thee, and wandrid|est where [whereuere SX.] thou woldist; sothli whanne thou schalt wexe eldere, thou schalt holde forth thin hondis, and anothir schal girde thee, and leede thee whidir thou wolt not. [verse 19] Sothli he seide this thing, signyfyinge by what deeth he was to glorifiynge [glorifie AGMNPQSTWXY.] God. And whanne he hadde seid thes thingis, he seith to him, Sue thou me. [verse 20] Petre con|uertid [conuertid, or turned MNPSW.] syȝ thilke [that X.] disciple [disciple suynge MPQTWXY.] , whom Jhesu

louede, `and which [and the whiche A pr. m. GMNPQSTWY. that X.] restide in the souper on his brest, and he [Om. AKMPSW pr. m. X.] seide to hym, Lord, who is it, that schal bitraye thee? [verse 21] Ther|fore whanne Petre hadde seyn this dis|ciple [Om. A pr. m. GMNPQS TWXY.] , he seith to Jhesu [him A sec. m. K.] , Lord, what for|sothe this? [verse 22] Jhesu seith to him, So I wole him dwelle [to dwelle SX.] til [til that G sec. m. MPSW.] I come, what to thee? sue thou me. [verse 23] Therfore this word wente out among britheren, for [that O.] thilke [that X.] disciple deyeth not. And Jhesu seide not to [of A.] him, for he deieth not, but, So I wole him dwelle [to dwelle SX.] til [til that G sec. m. MPQSW.] I come, what to thee? [verse 24] This is thilke [that X.] disciple, that berith witnessing of thes thingis, and wroot thes thingis; and we witen, for his witnessing is trewe. [verse 25] Forsothe [And O.] there ben and [Om. QX.] manye othere syngnes, `or myraclis [Om. X.] , that Jhesu dide, whiche [the whiche A pr. m. GMNPQSTWXY.] if thei ben writun by eche by `hem silue [him silf AGMNPQSTVWXY.] , I deme [gesse MW.] neither the world him silf `to mowe [mowe A pr. m. GMNPQTWY. to moun X.] take tho [the M.] bookis, that ben to be writun [writen. Amen. N.] .
