The Gospel.
WHich of you can rebuke me of sinne? If I say the trueth, why doe yee not beleeue me? He that is of God, heareth Gods words: Ye therfore heare them not, because ye are not of God. Then answered ye Iewes, and sayd vnto him, Say wee not well that thou art a Samaritane, and hast the deuill? Iesus answe∣red, I haue not the deuill: but I honour my Father, and yee haue dishonoured me. I seeke not mine owne prayse, there is one that seeketh and iudgeth. Verily, verily I say vnto you, If a man keepe my saying, he shal neuer see death. Then sayd the Iewes vnto him, Now we know that thou hast the deuil. A∣braham is dead, and the Prophets, and thou sayest, If a man keepe my saying, he shall neuer tast of death. Art thou grea∣ter then our father Abraham, which is dead? And the Pro∣phets are dead: Whom makest thou thy selfe? Iesus answe∣red, If I honour my selfe, mine honour is nothing: it is my father that honoureth me, which ye say is your God, and yet yee haue not knowen him: but I know him. And if I say I know him not, I shall be alyar like vnto you. But I know him and keepe his saying. Your father Abraham was glad to see my day: and he saw it and reioyced. Then said the Iewes vnto him, Thou art not yet fiftie yeeres old, & half thou seene Abraham? Iesus sayd vnto them, Verily, verily I say vnto you, yer Araham was borne, I am. Then tooke they vp stones to cast at him: but Iesus hid himselfe, and went out of the temple.
