¶ The Gospell of Saynt Iohn̄. (Book John)

¶ The euerlastynge byrthe of Chryst, and howe he became man. The testymony of Iohn̄. The callyng of Andrewe, Peter. &c.

CAPI. Primo. ✚

IN the begynnynge was [unspec A] the worde, & the worde was with God: and God was the worde. The same was in the beginnyng with God. * 1.1 All thynges were made by it, & without it, was made no thynge that was made. * 1.2 In it was lyfe, and the lyfe was the * 1.3 lyght of men, and the lyght shyneth in dar∣kenes, & the darkenes comprehended it not.

There was sent from God a man, whose name was Iohn̄. The same came as a wyt∣nes to beare wytnes of the lyght, that al men through hym myght byleue. * 1.4 ☞ He was not that lyght: but was sent to beare wytnes of the lyghte. That lyght was the true lyghte, whiche lyghteth euery man that cometh into the worlde. He was in the worlde, & the world was made by hym: and the worlde knew him not. He came among his owne, and his owne receyued hym not. But as many as receyued hym, * 1.5 to them gaue he power to be the son∣nes of God: euen them that byleued on his name: whiche were borne, not of bloode, nor of the wyll of the flesshe, nor yet of the wyl of man: but of God.

And the same worde became flesshe, and [unspec B] dwelte amonge vs: * 1.6 and we sawe the glory of it, as the glory of the onely begotten sonne of the father, full of grace and trueth. ⊢

✚ * 1.7 Iohn̄ beareth wytnes of hym, & cryeth, sayenge: This was he of whome I spake: which though he came after me, went before me, for he was before me. * 1.8 And of his fulnes haue al we receyued, euen ☞ grace for grace. For the lawe was gyuē by Moses, but grace and trueth came by Iesus Chryst. * 1.9 ☞ No man hath sene God at any tyme. The onely begotten sonne, which is in the bosome of the father, he hath declared hym. ⊢

✚ * 1.10 And this is the recorde of Iohn̄: when the Iues sent preestes and Leuites from Ie¦rusalem, to aske hym, what arte thou. And he confessed and denyed not, and sayd playnly: I am not Chryst. And they asked hym: what then? * 1.11 Arte thou Elias? And he sayeth: ☞ I am not, * 1.12 Arte thou that Prophet? And he answered no. Thē sayd they vnto hym: what arte thou, that we maye gyue an answere to them that sent vs. What sayest thou of thy selfe? He sayd, * 1.13 I am the voyce of a cryer in the wyldernes, make streyght the way of the Lorde, * 1.14 as sayd the prophet Esaias.

And they whiche were sent, were of the [unspec C] Pharises: And they asked hym, and sayd vn∣to hym. Why baptisest thou then, yf thou be not Chryst, nor Elias, neyther that Prophet? Iohn̄ answered them, sayenge, * 1.15 I baptyse with water: but there standeth one amonge you, whō ye knowe not, he it is which though he came after me, was before me, whose shoo latchet I am not worthy to vnlose. These thynges were done in Bethabara beyonde Iordan * 1.16 where Iohn̄ dyd baptyse. ⊢

✚ The nexte day, Iohn̄ seeth Iesus com∣mynge vnto hym, and sayeth, * 1.17 beholde the lambe of God, whiche taketh away the synne of the worlde. This is he of whom I sayde: After me cometh a man, whiche went before me, for he was before me, and I knewe hym not: but that he shulde be declared to Israel, therfore am I come baptysyng with water.

* 1.18 And Iohn̄ bare recorde, sayenge: I sawe the spirite descende from heuen, lyke vnto a doue, and abode vpon hym, and I knew him not. But he that sent me to baptyse in water, the same sayde vnto me: vpon whome thou shalte se the spirite descende, and tary styl on hym, the same is he which baptyseth with the holy goost. And I sawe, & bare recorde, that he is the sonne of god. ⊢ [unspec D]

The nexte day after, Iohn̄ stode agayne, and two of his disciples. And he behelde Ie∣sus as he walked by, and sayeth: beholde the lambe of God. And the two disciples herde hym speake, & they folowed Iesus. And Ie∣sus turned aboute, & sawe them folowe hym, and sayeth vnto them: what seke ye? They sayde vnto hym: Rabbi (whiche is to saye yf one interprete it, Mayster) where dwellest thou? He sayeth vnto them: Come and se. They came, and sawe where he dwelte: and abode with hym that daye. For it was aboute the tenth houre. One of the two which herde Iohn̄ speake, and folowed hym, was An∣drewe Symon Peters brother. The same founde his brother Symon fyrst, and sayeth vnto hym: we haue founde Messias (whiche is by interpretacyon, anoynted) and brought hym to Iesus. And Iesus behelde hym, and sayde: thou arte * 1.19 Symon the sonne of Io∣nas, thou shalte be called Cephas: whiche is by interpretacyon, a stone.

The day folowynge Iesus wolde go into [unspec E] Galile, and founde Philip, and sayeth vnto hym: folowe me. * 1.20 Philip was of Bethsaida the citye of Andrewe & Peter. Philip founde

Nathanael, and sayeth vnto hym: We haue founde hym, of whom * 1.21 Moses in the lawe and the ‡ 1.22 Prophettes dyd wryte, Iesus the sonne of Ioseph of Nazareth.

And Nathanaell sayde vnto hym. * 1.23 Can there any good thyng come out of Nazareth? Philip sayeth vnto hym, Come and se.

Iesus sawe Nathanaell comynge to hym, and sayeth of hym? Beholde a ryght Israe∣lyte, in whome is no gyle. Nathanaell say∣eth vnto hym: whence knowest thou me? Iesus answered, and sayd vnto hym. Before that Philip called the, when thou wast vnder the fygge tree, I sawe the. Nathanael answe¦red and sayd vnto hym: Rabbi, thou art euen the very sonne of god, thou arte the kynge of Israel. Iesus answered, and sayd vnto hym: Bycause I sayde vnto the, I sawe the vnder the fygge tree, thou byleuest. Thou shalte se greater thyng{is} then these. And he sayeth vn∣to hym. Uerely verely, I say vnto you: here∣after shall ye se heuen open, and the angels of God ascendynge and descendyng ouer the sonne of man.

ANd the thyrd day, was there a mariage [unspec A] in Cana a citye of Galile: and the mo∣ther of Iesus was there. And Iesus was called (and his disciples) vnto the mary∣age. And when the wyne fayled, the mother of Iesus sayth vnto him: they haue no wyne. Iesus sayth vnto her: woman, * 1.24 what haue I to do with the, myne houre is not yet come His mother sayeth vnto the ministers: what soeuer he sayeth vnto you, do it. And there were standyng there. vi. waterpot••es of stone after the maner of the purifieng of the Iues conteynynge two or thre fyrkyns a pece. [unspec B]

Iesus sayeth vnto them: fyll the water pottes with water. And they fylled them vp to the brym. And he sayeth vnto them: drawe out nowe, and beare vnto the gouernoure of the feaste. And they bare it. When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was tur¦ned vnto wyne, and knew not whence it was (But the ministers whiche drue the water knew) He calleth the brydegrome, & sayth vn to hym: Euery mā at the begynnyng doth set forth good wyne, & ☞ when men be dronke, then that which is worse. But thou hast kept the good wyne, vntyll nowe. [unspec C]

This begynnyng of myracles dyd Iesus in Cana of Galile, and shewed his glory, and his disciples byleued on hym. ⊢ * 1.25 After this he went downe to Capernaum, he & his mo∣ther, and his brethren, and his disciples, and there contynued not many dayes.

✚ * 1.26 And the Iues easter was euen at hande and Iesus went vp to Ierusalem, and found syttynge in the temple, those that solde oxen & shepe, and doues, & chaungers of money. And when he had made (as it were) a scourge of small coordes, he droue them all out of the temple, with the shepe and oxen, and powred out the chaungers of money, and ouerthrew the tables, and sayd vnto them that solde do∣ues: Haue these thyng{is} hence, and make not my fathers house an house of marchaundyse And his disciples remēbred it that is wryten: * 1.27 the zele of thyne house hath euen eaten me.

Then answered the Iues, and sayd vnto [unspec D] hym: what token shewest thou vnto vs, se∣ynge that thou doest these thynges? Iesus answered and sayd vnto them: * 1.28 destroy this temple, and in thre dayes I wyll teare it vp.

Then sayde the Iues. xlvi. yeres was this temple a buyldyng: and wylt thou reare it vp in thre dayes? But he spake of the temple of his body. As soone therfore as he was rysen from death agayne, his disciples remembred that he thus had sayd. And they byleued the scripture, and the wordes whiche Iesus had sayde. When he was in Ierusalem at Easter in the feast daye, many byleued on his name, when they sawe his myracles whiche he dyd. But Iesus dyd not commyt hym selfe vnto them, bycause he knewe all men, and neded not, that any mā shulde testifie of hym, * 1.29 For he knewe what was in man. ⊢

CAPI. III.

THere was a man of the pharises named [unspec A] Nicodemus, a ruler of the Iues. * 1.30 The same came to Iesus by nyght, and sayd vnto hym: Rabbi, we knowe that thou arte a teacher come from god: for no man coulde do suche myracles as thou doest, excepte God were with hym. Iesus answered and sayde vnto hym. Uerely, verely I say vnto the: ex∣cepte a man be borne from aboue, he can not se the kyngdome of God. Nicodemus sayeth vnto hym, ☞ howe can a man be borne when he is olde? Can he enter in to his mothers wombe & be borne agayne? Iesus answered * 1.31 Uerely, verely, I say vnto the: excepte a mā be borne of water & of the spirite, he can not enter in to the kyngdome of God. * 1.32 That whiche is borne of the flesshe, is flesshe, and that whiche is borne of the spirite, is spirite. Meruayle not thou that I sayde to the, ye must be borne from aboue.

The wynde bloweth where it lysteth, and [unspec B] thou hearest the sounde therof, * 1.33 but canst not tell whence it cometh & whyther it goeth. So is euery one that is borne of the spirite.

Nycodemus answered and sayd vnto him howe can these thynges be? Iesus answered & sayde vnto hym: arte thou a mayster in Is∣rael, and knowest not these thynges? Uerely verely, I saye vnto the: We speake that we do knowe, and testifie that we haue sene: and ye receyue not our wytnesse. If I haue tolde you earthly thynges, and ye byleue not: how shall ye byleue yf I tell you of heuenly thyn∣ges. * 1.34 And no man ascendeth vp to heuen, but he that came downe frome heuen, euen the sonne of man whiche is in heuen. * 1.35 And as Moses lyfte vp the serpent in the wylder∣nesse, euen so must the son of man be lyfte vp, that who soeuer byleueth in hym, peryshe not but haue eternall lyfe. ⊢

✚ * 1.36 For God so loued the worlde, that he [unspec C] gaue his onely begotten son, that who soeuer byleueth in hym, shuld not perisshe, but haue euerlastyng lyfe. * 1.37 For God sent not his son in to the worlde, to condemne the worlde, but that ☞ the worlde through hym myght be saued. He that byleueth on hym, is not con∣demned. But he that byleueth not, is condem¦ned all redy, bycause he hath not byleued in the name of the onely begotten son of God. And this is the condemnacyon, * 1.38 that lyght is come in to the worlde, and men loued dar∣kenesse more then lyght, bycause theyr dedes were euyll. For * 1.39 euery one that euyll doeth, hateth the lyght: neyther cometh to the lyght leest his dedes shulde be reproued. But he that doth truth, cometh to the lyght, that his dedes maye be knowen, howe that they are wrought in God. ⊢

After these thynges came Iesus and his [unspec D] disciples in to the lande of Iurye, and there he taryed with them, ☞ * 1.40 and baptysed. And Iohn̄ also baptised in Enan besyde Salim, bycause there was moche water there, & they came and were baptysed. * 1.41 For Iohn̄ was not yet cast in to pryson.

✚ And there arose a questyon bytwene Iohn̄s disciples and the Iues, aboute puri∣fienge. And they came vnto Iohn̄, and sayd vnto hym: Rabbi, he that was with the be∣yonde Iordan (to whom thou barest wytnes) beholde, the same baptiseth, * 1.42 & all men come to hym, Iohn̄ answered, and sayd: A man can receyue nothynge, excepte it be gyuen hym from heuen. Ye youre selues are wytnesses, * 1.43 howe that I sayde: I am not Chryst, but am sente before hym. He that hath the bryde, is the brydegrome. But the frende of the brydegrome, whiche standeth, and heareth hym, reioyseth greatly bycause of the bryde gromes voyce. This my ioye therfore is ful∣led. He must encreace: but I must decreace.

He that cometh from on hygh, is aboue al: [unspec E] He that is of the earth, is earthly, and spea∣keth of the earth. He that cometh from heuen is aboue al, and what he hath sene and herde that he testifieth: and no man receyueth his testimonye. He that hath receyued his testi∣monye, * 1.44 ☞ hath set to his seale, that God is true. For he whom God hath sent, speaketh the wordes of God: * 1.45 For ☞ God gyueth not the spirite by measure vnto hym.

CAPI. IIII.

AS soone as the Lorde knewe, howe the [unspec A] Pharises had herde, that Iesus made and baptised mo disciples then Iohn̄, (though that Iesus hym selfe baptised not, but his disciples) * 1.48 he lefte Iuery, and depar¦ted agayne in to Galile. For it was so that he must nedes go thorowe Samaria. ✚ Then came he to a citye of Samaria (which is cal¦led Sichar) besydes, the possessyon * 1.49 that Iacob gaue to his sonne Ioseph, and there was Iacobs well. Iesus then beynge werye of his iourney, sat thus on the well. And it was aboute the syxte houre: and there came a womā of Samaria to drawe water. Iesus sayth vnto her, gyue me drynke. For his disci¦ples were gone awaye vnto the towne, to bye meate. Then sayeth the woman of Samaria vnto hym: howe is it, that thou beyng a Iue, askest drynke of me, whiche am a Samari∣tane? * 1.50 For the Iues medle not with the Samaritans.

Iesus answered and sayde vnto her: yf [unspec B] thou knewest the gyfte of God, and who it is that sayeth to the, gyue me drynke, thou wol∣dest haue asked of hym, and he wolde haue gyuen * 1.51 the water of lyfe. The womā sayeth vnto hym: Syr, thou hast nothyng to drawe with, and the well is depe: from whence then hast thou that water of lyfe? Arte thou grea∣ter then our father Iacob which gaue vs the well, and he hym selfe dranke therof, and his chyldren, and his cattell? Iesus answered, & sayde vnto her: who soeuer drynketh of this water, shal thyrst agayne. But ☞ who soeuer

drynketh of the water that I shal gyue hym shal neuer be more a thyrst: but the water that I shall gyue hym, shall be in hym a well of water, spryngynge vp in to euerlastyng lyfe.

The woman sayeth vnto hym: Syr, gyue me of that water, that I thyrst not, neyther come hyther to draw. Iesus sayeth vnto her: Go call thy husbande, and come hyther. The woman answered, and sayde vnto hym: I haue no husbande. Iesus sayde vnto her: Thou hast well sayde I haue no husbande. For thou haste had fyue husbandes, and he whome thou nowe hast, is not thy husband. In that saydest thou truely.

The woman sayeth vnto hym: * 1.52 Syr, I [unspec C] perceyue that thou arte a Prophet. Our fa∣thers worshypped in this mountayne * 1.53 and ye says that in Ierusalem is the place, where men ought to worshyp. Iesus sayeth vnto her: woman byleue me, the houre commeth, when ye shall (neyther in this mountayne / nor yet at Ierusalem) worshyppe the father. Ye worshyppe ye wote not what: we knowe what we worshyp. * 1.54 For saluacion cōmeth of the Iues. But the houre cōmeth and nowe is, when the true worshyppers shall worshyp the father * 1.55 in spiryte, and in the trueth. For soche the father also requireth to worshyppe him * 1.56 God is a spiryte: and they that wor∣shyp him, must worshyp hym in spiryte and in the trueth.

The woman sayeth vnto hym: I wote / [unspec D] that Messias shall come, whiche is called Chryst. When he is come he wyl tel vs althyn¦ges. Iesus sayeth vnto her: * 1.57 I that speake vnto the am he. And immediatly came his disciples, and meruayled that he talked with the woman. Yet no man sayde: What mea∣nest thou or why talkest thou with her? The woman then left her waterpot, and went her waye in to the citye, and sayeth to the men: Come, se a man whiche tolde me all thynges that euer I dyd. Is not he chryst? Then they went out of the citye, and came vnto hym.

In the meane whyle his disciples prayed hym, sayenge: Mayster, eate. He sayde vnto them: I haue meate to eate, that ye know not of. Therfore sayde the disciples among them selues: hath any man brought hym ought to eate? Iesus sayeth vnto them: my meate is to do the wyll of hym that sent me, and to fy∣nisshe his worke. Saye not ye: there are yet foure monethes / and then cōmeth haruest? Beholde I say vnto you: lyfte vp your eyes / and loke on the regyons: for they are whyte [unspec E] all redy vnto haruest.

* 1.58 And he that reapeth, receyueth reward, and gathereth fruyte vnto lyfe eternall: that bothe he that soweth, and he that reapeth / myght reioyse togyther. And herein is the sayenge true, that one soweth and an other reapeth. I sent you to reape wheron ye be∣stowed no labour. Other men laboured, and ye are entred in to theyr labours.

Many of the Samaritans of that citye by∣leued on hym, for the sayenge of the woman, whiche testified that he tolde her all that euer she dyd. So, when the Samaritans were come vnto hym, they besought hym, that he wolde tary with them. And he abode there two dayes. And many mo byleued bycause of his owne wordes, and sayde vnto the wo∣man. Now we byleue, not bicause of thy say∣enge: for * 1.59 we haue herde hym our selues, and knowe that this is euen Chryst, the sauyoure of the worlde. ⊢

After two dayes he departed thence, and [unspec F] went awaye in to galile. * 1.60 For Iesus hym¦selfe testified / that a Prophet hath noone ho∣nour in his owne countrey. Then, as soone as he was come in to Galile, the Galileans receyued him, when they had sene al the thyn¦ges that he dyd at Ierusalem at the daye of the feaste.

For they went also vnto the feaste daye, So Iesus came agayne into Cana of Galile * 1.61 where he turned the water in to wyne.

✚ And there was a certayne ruler, * 1.62 whose soune was sycke at Capernaum. As soone as the same herde that Iesus was come out of Iurye in to Galile, he went vnto hym, and besought hym, that he wolde come downe / and heale his sonne. For he was euen at the poynt of death. Then sayd Iesus vnto hym: excepte ye se sygnes and wonders, ye wyl not byleue. The ruler sayeth vnto hym: Syr / come downe, or euer that my sonne dye.

Iesus sayeth vnto hym: Go thy waye, thy [unspec G] son lyueth. The man byleued the worde that Iesus had spoken vnto hym, & he went his waye. And as he was nowe goynge downe / the seruauntes met hym, and tolde hym, say∣enge: thy sonne lyueth.

Then enquired he of them the houre whē he began to amende. And they sayde vnto him: Yester daye at the seuenth houre, the fe∣uer lefte hym.

Then sayde they vnto him: Lorde, euer more gyue vs this breade. And Iesus sayde vnto them. I am the breade of lyfe. He that com∣meth to me shall not hunger, and he that by∣leueth on me shall neuer thyrst. ⊢

But I sayde vnto you: that ye also haue sene me, and yet ye byleue not. All that the father gyueth me shall come to me: and hym that cōmeth to me, I cast not a waye.

And this is the wyll of hym that sent me: that euery one whiche seeth the son / * 1.65 and byleueth on hym / haue euerlastynge lyfe. And I wyll rayse hym vp at the last day The Iues then murmured at hym, bycause he sayd: I am that bread (of lyfe) which came downe from heuen.

And they sayde: * 1.66 Is not this Iesus the soune of Ioseph, whose father and mother [unspec E] we knowe? Howe is it then that he sayeth / I came downe from heuen? Iesus answered and sayde vnto them: Murmur not amonge your selues.

✚ ☞ * 1.67 No man can come to me, except the father whiche hath sent me, drawe hym: And I wyll rayse hym vp at the laste daye.

Euery man therfore that hath herde, & hath lerned of the father / cōmeth vnto me. * 1.69 Not that any man hath sene the father, saue he whiche is of God: the same hath sene the father. Uerely, verely I say vnto you, he that putteth his trust in me / hath euerlastynge lyfe. I am that breade of lyfe. Your fathers dyd eate Manna in the wyldernesse, & are dead?

Who so eateth my flesshe and drynketh my bloode, hath eternal lyfe, and I wyll rayse hym vp at the last daye.

✚ For my flesshe is meate in dede: and my bloode is drynke in dede. He that eateth my flesshe and drynketh my bloode, dwelleth in me, and I in hym.

These thynges sayde he in the synagoge, as he taught in Capernaum. Many therfore of his discyples (when they had herde this) [unspec G] sayd: this is an harde sayeng: who can abyde the hearyng of it? Iesus knewe in hym selfe, that his disciples murmured at it, & he sayde vnto them: Doth this offende you? What and yf ye shall se the son of man ascende vp thyther where he was before? It is the spi∣ryte that quyckeneth, the flesshe profyteth nothynge. The wordes that I speake vnto you, are spiryte and lyfe. But there are some of you that bileue not. For Iesus knew from the begynnyng, whiche they were / that byle∣ued not, and who shulde betraye hym: And he sayde: therfore sayd I vnto you: that * 1.71 no man can come vnto me, except it were gyuen vnto hym of my father.

From that tyme many of his disciples went backe, and forsoke hym, and walked no more with hym. Then sayde Iesus to the twelue: wyll ye also go awaye? Then Simon Peter answered hym: Lorde, to whome shal we go? Thou haste the wordes of eternall lyfe * 1.72 and we byleue and are sure that thou arte Chryst the sonne of the lyuynge god. Iesus answe∣reth them: Haue not I chosen you twelue, & * 1.73 one of you is a deuyll? He spake of Iudas Iscariot the sonne of Simon. For he it was, that shulde betraye hym, beynge one of the twelue.

¶ Iesus cometh to Ierusalem at the least: teacheth the Iues and reproueth them. There are dyuerse opinyons of hym amonge the people. The Pharyses rebuke the offycers bycause they haue not brought hym, & chyde with Nicodemus for takynge his parte.

CAPI. VII.

AFter these thynges, Iesus went about [unspec A] in Galile: for he wolde not go aboute in Iurye bycause that the Iues sought to kyll hym. The Iues * 1.74 feast of tabernacles was at hande. His brethren therfore sayde vnto hym: get the hence, and go in to Iury / that thy discyples also maye se thy workes that thou doest. For there is no man that doeth any thynge in secret / and he hym selfe seketh to be knowen openly. Yf thou do soch thynges / shewe thy selfe to the worlde. For his brethren byleued not in hym.

Then Iesus sayde vnto them: My tyme is not yet come: but your tyme is alwaye redy. The worlde can not hate you. * 1.75 But me it hateth: bycause I ••••stifye of it, that the wor∣kes therof are euyl. Go ye vp vnto this feast I wyll not go vp yet vnto this feast, for my tyme is not yet full come. When he had sayd these wordes vnto them, he abode styl in Ga lile.

In the last day, that great day of the feast Iesus stode, and cryed, saynge: * 1.88 yf any man chyrst, let hym come vnto me, and drynke.

So was there dissencyon amonge the peo∣ple bycause of hym.

IEsus went * 1.93 vnto mounte Olyuete, and [unspec A] early in the mornynge he came agayne in to the temple, and all the people came vn to hym, and he sat downe, and taught them.

I am one that beareth wytnesse of my selfe / and the father that sent me, beareth wytnes of me. Then sayde they vnto hym: where is thy father? Iesus answered: ye neyther know me, nor yet my father: Yf ye had knowen me, ye shuld haue knowen my father also. These wordes spake Iesus in the treasurye, as he taught in the temple, & no man layde handes on hym, * 1.98 for his houre was not yet come. ⊢ Then sayde Iesus agayne vnto them:

¶ Chryst maketh the man to se, that was borne blynde.

ANd as Iesus passed by, he sawe a man, [unspec A] whiche was blynde from his byrth.

And his disciples asked hym, sayenge: Mayster, who dyd synne, this man / or his father and mother, that he was borne blynd? Iesus answered: Neyther hath this man syn¦ned, nor yet his father and mother: but that the workes of God shulde be shewed in hym.

I must worke the workes of hym that sent me, whyle it is daye. The nyght cōmeth / whē no man can worke. As longe as I am in the worlde, * 1.113 I am the lyght of the worlde.

As soone as he had thus spoken, he spatte [unspec B] on the grounde, and made claye of the spytle, & rubbed the claye on the eyes of the blynde, and sayde vnto hym: Go, wasshe the in the poole of * 1.114 Syloe / whiche (by interpretacyō) is as moche to saye as: sent.

Then sayde they vnto hym: where is he? He sayde: I can not tell. They brought to the Pharises, him that a lytel before was blynd: and it was the * 1.115 Sabboth day, when Iesus made the claye, and opened his eyes. Then agayne the pharises also asked hym, how he had receyued his syght. He sayd vnto them: he put claye vpon myne eyes, and I wasshed and do se. Therfore sayde some of the Pha∣ryses: this man is not of God, bycause he ke∣peth not the Sabboth daye. Other sayde: * 1.116 howe can a man that is a synner, do soche myracles? And there was a stryfe monge [unspec D] them. They spake vnto the blynde man a∣gayne: what sayest thou of hym, bycause he hath opened thyne eyes? He sayde: * 1.117 He is a Prophet. But the Iues dyd not byleue of the man, (howe that he had ben blynde, and receyued his syght) vntyll they called the fa∣ther and mother of hym that had receyued his syght.

His fa∣ther and mother answered them / and sayde: we knowe, that this is our sonne, and that he was borne blynde: but by what meanes he nowe seeth, we can not tell: or who hath ope∣ned his eyes, can we not tell.

He is olde ynough, aske hym, let hym an∣sweare [unspec E] for hym selfe. Soche wordes spake

his father and mother / bycause they feared the Iues. For the Iues had conspyred alre∣dye, that yf any man dyd cōfesse that he was Chryst, * 1.118 he shulde be excommunicate out of the Sinagoge.

Howe opened he thyne eyes? He answered them agayne: I tolde you ere whyle, and ye dyd not heare.

Wherfore wolde ye heare it agayne? Wyl [unspec F] ye also be his disciples? Then rated they him and sayde: Be thou his disciple. We are Mo¦ses disciples. We are sure, that God spake vnto Moses.

¶ Chryst is betrayed. The wordes of his mouth smyte the offycers to the grounde. Peter smyteth of Malchus care. Iesus is brought before Anna Cayphas, and Pylate.

CAPI. XVIII.

WHen Iesus had spoken these wordes, [unspec A] * 1.251 he went forth with his disciples ouer the broke Cedron, where was a garden, in to the whiche he entred, and his disciples. Iu∣das also whiche bytrayed hym, knewe the place: for Iesus ofte tymes resorted thyther with his disciples. Iudas then after he had receyued a bande of men, (and ministers of the hygh preestes and pharises) came thyther with lanterus, and fyrebrandes, & weapons.

And Iesus knowyng al thynges that shulde come on hym, went forth, & sayde vnto them: whom seke ye? They answered hym: Iesus of Nazareth. Iesus sayeth vnto them: I am he. Iudas also whiche betrayed hym, stode with them.

As soone then as he had sayde vnto them, [unspec B] I am he, they went bakwarde, and fell to the grounde. Thē asked he them agayne: whom seke ye? They sayd Iesus of nazareth. Iesus answered, I haue tolde you, that I am he, If ye seke me therfore, let these go theyr way, that the sayenge myght be fulfylled whiche he spake: * 1.252 of them whiche thou gauest me, haue I not lost one. Then Symon Peter ha∣uynge a swerde, drewe it, and smote the hygh Preestes seruaunt, and cut of his ryght eare. The seruauntes name was Malchus. Ther¦fore sayeth Iesus vnto Peter: * 1.253 Put vp thy swerde in to the sheathe: shall I not drynke of the cup, whiche my father hath gyuen me?

Then the company and the captayne and ministers of the Iues toke Iesus, & bounde hym, and led hym away to Anna fyrst: for he was father in lawe vnto Cayphas, whiche was the hygh preest that same yere. Cayphas was he, whiche gaue counsell to the Iues * 1.254 that it was expedient, that one man shulde dye for the people. [unspec C]

* 1.255 And Symon Peter folowed Iesus, and so dyd an other dyscyple: that dyscyple was knowen vnto the hygh Preest, and wente in with Iesus into the palace of the high preest. But Peter stode at the dore without. Then wente out that other dyscyple (whiche was knowen vnto the hygh Preest) and spake to the damsell that kepte the dore, and brought in Peter. Then sayde the damsell that kepte the dore, vnto Peter. Arte not thou also one of this mannes disciples? He sayd: I am not. The seruauntes & the ministers stode there, whiche had made a fyre of coles: for it was colde, and they warmed them selues. Peter also stode amonge them, and warmed hym.

* 1.256 The hygh Preest then asked Iesus of his disciples and of his doctrine. Iesus an∣swered [unspec D] hym: I spake openly in the worlde. I euer taught in the Synagoge▪ and in the tem¦ple, whyther all the Iues resorte. and in se∣crete haue I sayd nothyng: Why askest thou me? Aske them which herde me, what I haue sayde vnto them. Beholde, they can tel what I sayd. When he had thus spoken, one of the ministers whiche stode by, smote Iesus on the face, sayenge: * 1.257 answerest thou the hygh Preest for Iesus answered hym: If I haue euyll spoken, beare wytnesse of the euyll: But yf I haue well spoken, ☞ why smytest thou me? And Annas sent hym bounde vnto Cay¦phas the hygh Preest.

Symon Peter stode, and warmed hym [unspec E] selfe. Then sayd they vnto hym: art not thou also one of his disciples? He denyed it and sayd: I am not. One of the seruauntes of the hygh Preestes (his cosyn whose eare Peter smote of) sayde vnto hym: Dyd not I se the in the garden with hym? * 1.258 Peter therfore de∣nyed agayne: & immediatly the cocke crewe. * 1.259 Then led they Iesus from Cayphas in to the hall of iugement. It was in the mornyng and they them selues went not in to the iud∣gement hall, ☞ lest they shulde be defyled, but that they myght eate Passeouer. Pylate then wente out vnto them, and sayde: What accusacyon brynge ye agaynst this man?

They answered and sayde vnto hym: If he were not an euyldoer, we wolde not haue de∣lyuered hym vnto the.

Then sayde Pylate vnto them: Take ye [unspec F] hym, and iudge hym after your owne lawe. The Iues therfore sayd vnto hym: It is not lawfull for vs to put any man to death. ☞ That the wordes of Iesus myght be ful∣fylled * 1.260 whiche he spake, sygnyfyenge, what death he shulde dye. * 1.261 Then Pylate entred into the iudgement hall agayne, and called Iesus, and sayde vnto hym: Arte thou the kynge of the Iues? Iesus answered: sayest thou that of thy selfe, or dyd other tell it the of me? Pilate answered. Am I a Iue? Thyne owne nacyon and hygh Preestes haue dely∣uered the vnto me. What haste thou done? Iesus answered: my kyngdom is not of this worlde. If my kyngdom were of this worlde, then wolde my ministers surely fyght, that I shulde not be delyuered to the Iues, but nowe is * 1.262 my kyngdome not from hence.

Pylate therfore sayde vnto hym. Arte [unspec G] thou a kynge then? Iesus answered: Thou sayest that I am a kynge. For this cause was I borne, and for this cause came I in to the worlde, that I shulde beare wytnesse vnto the trueth. And al that are of the trueth, heare my voyce. Pylate sayde vnto hym: What thynge is trueth? And when he had sayde this, he wente oute agayne vnto the Iues, and sayeth vnto them: * 1.263 I fynde in hym no cause at all. Ye haue a custome, that I shulde delyuer you one loose at Easter. Wyll ye that I loose vnto you the kynge of the Iues? Then cryed they all agayne, sayenge: * 1.264 Not hym, but Barrabas: the same Barrabas was a murtherer.

THen Pilate toke Iesus therfore, and [unspec A] scourged hym. * 1.265 And the souldyers wounde a crowne of thornes, and put it on his heade. And they dyd on hym a purple garment, ❀ (and came vnto hym) and sayde: Hayle kynge of the Iues: & they smote hym on the face. Pylate went forth agayne / and sayde vnto them: behold, I bryng hym forth to you, that ye maye knowe, that I fynde no faute in hym. Then came Iesus forth / wea∣rynge a crowne of thorne, and a robe of pur∣ple. And he sayeth vnto them: beholde the man. * 1.266 When the hygh Preestes therfore & minysters sawe hym / they cryed, sayenge: crucifye him, crucifye hym. Pilate sayeth vn¦to them: Take ye hym, and crucifye hym: for I fynde no cause in hym. The Iues answe∣red hym: We haue * 1.267 a lawe, and by our lawe he ought to dye: bycause * 1.268 he made hym selfe the sonne of God.

When Pylate herde that sayenge, he [unspec B] was the more afrayde / and wente agayne in to the Iudgement hall, and sayeth vnto▪ Ie∣sus: whence arte thou? But Iesus gaue hym none answere. Then sayde Pilate vnto him: Speakest thou not vnto me? Knowest thou not / that I haue power to crucifye the / and haue power to loose the? Iesus answered: Thou couldest haue no power at all agaynst me / * 1.269 excepte it were gyuen the from aboue. Therfore he that deliuered me vnto the, hath the more syn. * 1.270 And frō thence forth sought Pilate meanes to loose hym: but the Iues cryed, sayenge: yf thou let hym go, thou arte not Cesars frende. For * 1.271 whosoeuer maketh hym selfe a kynge, is agaynst Cesar.

When Pilate herde that sayeng, he brought [unspec C] Iesus forth, and sat downe to gyue sentence, in a place that is called the pauement: but in the Hebrue tongue / Gabbatha. It was the preparynge daye of the Easter / aboute the syxte houre. And he sayeth vnto the Iues: be holde your kynge? They cryed, awaye with hym, awaye with hym / crucifye hym. Pilate sayeth vnto them: shal I crucify your kyng? The hyghe Preestes answered: we haue no kynge but Cesar: * 1.272 Then deliuered he hym vnto them, to be crucifyed.

And they toke Iesus, and led hym away. [unspec D] And he bare his crosse, and went forth in to a place, which is called the place of dead mens sculles. But in Hebrue Golgotha: where they crucifyed hym, and two other with hym, on eyther syde one, and Iesus in the myddes. And * 1.273 Pilate wrote a tytle, and put it on the* 1.274 crosse. The wrytynge was. Iesus of Naza∣reth kynge of the Iues. This tytle red many of the Iues. For the place where Iesus was crucifyed, was nygh to the citye. And it was wrytten in Hebrue, and Greke and Latyn. Then sayde the hyghe Preestes of the Iues to Pilate: wryte not kynge of the Iues, but that he sayde, I am kynge of the Iues. Pi∣late answered: what I haue wrytten, that haue I wrytten. [unspec E]

The souldyers, * 1.275 when they had cru∣cifyed Iesus, toke his garmentes and made foure partes to euery souldyer a parte, and also his cote. The cote was without seame / wrought vpon throughout. They sayde ther¦fore amonge them selues: Let vs not deuyde it, but cast lottes for it, who shall haue it. That the scrypture myght be fulfylled, say∣enge: * 1.276 They parted my rayment amonge them, and for my coote dyd they cast lottes. And the souldyers dyd soch thynges in dede

There stode by the crosse of Iesus his mo∣ther, and his mothers syster. Mary the wyfe of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. When Iesus therfore sawe his mother, and the dis∣cyple standyng * 1.277 whome he loued, he sayeth vnto his mother: woman, beholde thy sonne. Then sayde he to the discyple: beholde thy mother. And frō that houre the discyple toke her for his owne.

After these thynges Iesus knowyng that [unspec F] all thynges were nowe performed: that * 1.278 the scrypture myght be fulfylled, he sayeth: I thyrst. So there stode a vessell by, full of by∣neger. * 1.279 Therfore they fylled a sponge with vyneger, and wounde it aboute with yscope / and put it to his mouth. As soone as Iesus then receyued of the vyneger / he sayde: * 1.280 It is finyshed, and bowed his heade, and gaue vp the gooste. The Iues therfore bycause it was the preparyng of the Sabboth / that the bodyes shulde not remayne vpon the crosse on the Sabboth daye (for that Sabboth day was an hyghe daye) besought Pilate▪ that theyr legges myght be broken and that they myght be taken downe. Then came the soul∣dyers, and brake the legges of the fyrst / and of the other which was crucifyed with hym. But when they came to Iesus: and sawe that he was deade alredy, they brake not his leg∣ges: but one of the souldyers with a speare / thrust hym in to the syde, and forthwith came there out blood and water.

And he that sawe it, bare recorde / and his [unspec G] recorde is true. And he knoweth that he say∣eth true, that ye myght byleue also.

For these thynges were done, that the scryp∣ture shuld be fulfylled. * 1.281 Ye shall not breake a bone of hym. And agayne an other scryp∣ture sayeth: * 1.282 they shall loke on hym, whom they pearsed. * 1.283 After this, Ioseph of Arama∣thia (whiche was a disciple of Iesus: but se∣cretly for feare of the Iues) besought Pilate that he myght take downe the body of Iesus And Pilate gaue hym licence. ❀ (He came therfore, and toke the body of Iesus) And there came also Nicodemus (whiche at the begyn∣nyng came to Iesus by nyght) and brought of myre and aloes myngled togyther, about an hundred pounde weyght. Then toke they the body of Iesus, and wounde it in lynnen clothes with the odours, as the maner of the Iues is to burye. And in the place where he was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a newe sepulchre, wherin was neuer man layde. There layde they Iesus therfore, bycause of the prepatynge of the Sabboth of the Iues / for the sepulchre was nygh at hande. ⊢

The fyrst daye of the Sabbothes came [unspec A] Mary Magdalene early (when it was yet darke) vnto the Sepulchre, & sawe the stone taken awaye from the graue. Then she ran, and came to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple * 1.284 whome Iesus loued, and* 1.285 sayeth vnto them: They haue taken awaye the Lorde out of the graue, and we can not tell where they haue layde hym.

But go to my * 1.289 brethren, and saye vnto them? ‡ 1.290 I ascende vnto my father and your father: and to my God, and youre God. * 1.291 Mary Magdalene came and tolde the discyples, that she had sene the Lorde, and that he had spoken soche thynges vnto her. ⊢

AFterwarde dyd Iesus shewe hym selfe [unspec A] agayne, at the see of Tyberias. And on this wyse shewed he hym selfe. There were togyther Symon Peter and Thomas (whiche is called Didimus,) and * 1.297 Natha∣naell of Cana in Galile, and the sonnes of Zebedei, and two other of his discyples. Si∣mon Peter sayeth vnto them: I wyll go a fysshynge. They saye vnto hym: we also wyl [unspec B] go with the. They went theyr waye and en∣tred into a shyp immedyatly, and that nyght caught they nothynge. But when the mor∣nynge was nowe come, Iesus stoode on the shore: neuerthelesse the discyples knewe not that it was Iesus. Iesus sayeth vnto them: Chyldren haue ye any meate? They answe∣red hym, no. And he sayeth vnto them: * 1.298 caste out the net on the ryght syde of the shyp, and ye shall fynde. They cast out therfore / and anone they were not able to drawe it for the multitude of fysshes.

Then sayde the discyple * 1.299 whome Iesus loued vnto Peter: It is the Lorde: When [unspec C] Simon Peter herde that it was the Lorde / he gyrde his coote vnto hym (for he was na∣ked) and sprange in to the see. The other dis∣cyples came by shyp, for they were not farre from lande, but as it were two hundred cu∣bytes, and they drewe the net with fysshes. As soone then as they were come to lande / they sawe hoote coles, and fysshe layde ther∣on, and breade.

Iesus sayeth vnto them: * 1.300 Brynge of the [unspec D] fysshe which ye haue nowe caught: Symon Peter went vp, and drue the net to lande full of greate fysshes, an hundred and. lii••. And for al there were so many, yet was not the net broken. Iesus sayeth vnto them: come and dyne. And none of the discyples durste aske hym: what arte thou? For they knewe that it was the Lorde. Iesus then came, and toke breade, and gaue them, and fysshe lykewyse.

This is nowe the thyrde tyme that Iesus appeared to his discyples, after that he was rysen agayne from death. ⊢

So when they had dyned / Iesus sayeth [unspec E] to Simon Peter: Symon Ioanna / louest thou me more then these? He sayd vnto hym: yea Lorde, thou knowest, that I loue the. He sayeth vnto hym: fede my lambes. He sayeth to hym agayne the seconde tyme: Symon Ioanna, louest thou me? He sayeth vnto him Yea Lorde, thou knowest that I loue the. He sayde vnto hym: feede my shepe. He sayde vnto hym the thyrd tyme: Symon Ioanna / louest thou me? Peter was sory, bycause he sayde vnto hym the thyrde tyme: louest thou me, & he sayde vnto hym: Lorde, thou * 1.301 kno∣west all thynges / thou knowest that I loue the. Iesus sayeth vnto hym: feede my shepe.

Uerely, verely I saye vnto the: when thou [unspec F] waste yonge, thou gyrdedst thy selfe, and wal¦kedst whyther thou woldest: but when thou arte olde, * 1.302 thou shalte stretche forth thyne handes, and an other shall gyrde the, & leade the whyther thou woldest not. That spake he signifyenge, by what death he shulde glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he say∣eth vnto hym: ✚ Folowe me. Peter turned aboute, and sawe the disciple * 1.303 whome Iesus loued / folowynge (whiche also leaned on his brest at supper, and sayde: Lorde, whiche is he that betrayeth the?)

When Peter therfore sawe hym, he say∣eth [unspec G] to Iesus: Lorde, what shall we heare do? Iesus sayeth vnto hym: Yf I wyll haue hym to tary tyll I come / what is that to the? fo∣lowe thou me. Then wente this sayenge a∣brode among the brethren, that that discyple shulde not dye. Yet Iesus sayde not to hym, he shall not dye: but yf I wyll that he tary tyl I come, what is that to the? The same discy∣ple is he, whiche testifyeth of these thynges / and wrote these thynges. And we knowe, that his testimony is true. ⊢ * 1.304 There are also many other thynges whiche Iesus dyd, the whiche yf they shulde be wrytten euery one, I sup∣pose the worlde coulde not conteyne the bookes that shulde be wrytten.
