Part 20
26 Then sayde they to him agayne. What dyd he to the? How opened he thyne eyes? 27 He answered them I tolde you yerwhyle and ye dyd not heare. Wherfore wolde ye heare it agayne? Will ye also be his disciples? 28 Then rated they him and sayde: Thou arte his disciple. We be Moses disciples. 29 We are sure that God spake with Moses. This felowe we knowe not from whence he is. 30 The man answered and sayde vnto them: this is a merveleous thinge that ye wote not whence he is seinge he hath opened myne eyes. 31 For we be sure that God heareth not synners. But yf eny man be a worshipper of God and do his will him heareth he. 32 Sence ye worlde beganne was it not hearde yt eny man opened the eyes of one that was borne blynd. 33 If this man were not of God he coulde have done no thinge. 34 They answered and sayd vnto him: thou arte altogeder borne in synne: and dost thou teache vs? And they cast him out. 35 Iesus hearde that they had excommunicate him: and assone as he had founde him he sayd vnto him: doest thou beleve on the sonne of God? 36 He answered and sayde: Who is it Lorde that I myght beleve on him? 37 And Iesus sayde vnto him: Thou hast sene him and he it is that talketh with the. 38 And he sayde: Lorde I beleve: and worshipped him. 39 Iesus sayde: I am come vnto iudgement into this worlde: that they which se not myght se and they which se myght be made blynde. 40 And some of the pharises which were with him hearde these wordes and sayde vnto him: are we then blynde? 41 Iesus sayde vnto them: yf ye were blynde ye shuld have no synne. But now ye saye we se therfore youre synne remayneth. Chapter 10 1 Verely verely I saye vnto you: he that entreth not in by ye dore into the shepefolde but clymeth vp some other waye: the same is a thefe and a robber. 2 He that goeth in by ye dore is the shepeherde of ye shepe: 3 to him the porter openeth and the shepe heare his voyce and he calleth his awne shepe by name and leadeth them out. 4 And when he hath sent forthe his awne shepe he goeth before them and the shepe folowe him: for they knowe his voyce. 5 A straunger they will not folowe but will flye from him: for they knowe not the voyce of straungers. 6 This similitude spake Iesus vnto them. But they vnderstode not what thinges they were which he spake vnto them. 7 Then sayde Iesus vnto them agayne. Verely verely I saye vnto you: I am the dore of the shepe. 8 All even as many as came before me are theves and robbers: but the shepe dyd not heare them. 9 I am the dore: by me yf eny man enter in he shalbe safe and shall goo in and out and fynde pasture. 10 The thefe cometh not but forto steale kyll and destroye. I am come that they myght have lyfe and have it more aboundantly. 11 I am ye good shepeheerd. The good shepeheerd geveth his lyfe for ye shepe. 12 An heyred servaut which is not ye shepeherd nether ye shepe are his awne seith the wolfe comynge and leveth the shepe and flyeth and the wolfe catcheth them and scattereth ye shepe.
13 The heyred servaut flyeth because he is an heyred servaunt and careth not for the shepe. 14 I am that good shepeheerd and knowe myne and am knowe of myne. 15 As my father knoweth me: even so knowe I my father. And I geve my lyfe for the shepe: 16 and other shepe I have which are not of this folde. Them also must I bringe that they maye heare my voyce and that ther maye be one flocke and one shepeherde. 17 Therfore doth my father love me because I put my lyfe from me that I myght take it agayne. 18 No man taketh it from me: but I put it awaye of my selfe. I have power to put it from me and have power to take it agayne: This comaundment have I receaved of my father. 19 And ther was a dissencion agayne amoge the Iewes for these sayinges 20 and many of them sayd. He hath the devyll and is mad: why heare ye him? 21 Other sayde these are not the wordes of him that hath the devyll. Can the devyll open the eyes of the blynde? 22 And it was at Ierusalem ye feaste of the dedicacion and it was wynter: 23 and Iesus walked in Salomons porche. 24 Then came the Iewes rounde aboute him and sayde vnto him: How longe dost thou make vs doute? Yf thou be Christ tell vs playnly. 25 Iesus answered them: I tolde you and ye beleve not. The workes yt I do in my fathers name they beare witnes of me. 26 But ye beleve not because ye are not of my shepe. As I sayde vnto you: 27 my shepe heare my voyce and I knowe them and they folowe me 28 and I geve vnto the eternall lyfe and they shall never perisshe nether shall eny man plucke the oute of my honde. 29 My father which gave the me is greatter then all and no man is able to take them out of my fathers honde. 30 And I and my father are one. 31 Then the Iewes agayne toke up stones to stone him with all. 32 Iesus answered them: many good workes have I shewed you from my father: for which of them will ye stone me? 33 The Iewes answered him sayinge. For thy good workes sake we stone ye not: but for thy blasphemy and because that thou beinge a man makest thy selfe God. 34 Iesus answered them: Is it not written in youre lawe: I saye ye are goddes? 35 If he called the goddes vnto whom the worde of God was spoken (and the scripture can not be broken) 36 saye ye then to him whom the father hath sainctified and sent into the worlde thou blasphemest because I sayd I am the sonne of God? 37 If I do not the workes of my father beleve me not. 38 But if I do though ye beleve not me yet beleve the workes that ye maye knowe and beleve that the father is in me and I in him. 39 Agayne they went aboute to take him: but he escaped out of their hondes 40 and went awaye agayne beyonde Iordan into the place where Iohn before had baptised and there aboode. 41 And many resorted vnto him and sayd. Iohn dyd no miracle: but all thinges that Iohn spake of this man are true. 42 And many beleved on him theare. Chapter 11
1 A certayne man was sicke named Lazarus of Bethania the toune of Mary and her sister Martha. 2 It was that Mary which annoynted Iesus with oyntment and wyped his fete with her heere whose brother Lazarus was sicke 3 and his sisters sent vnto him sayinge. Lorde behold he whom thou lovest is sicke. 4 When Iesus hearde yt he sayd: this infirmite is not vnto deth but for ye laude of God that the sonne of God myght be praysed by the reason of it. 5 Iesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. 6 After he hearde that he was sicke then aboode he two dayes still in the same place where he was. 7 Then after that sayd he to his disciples: let us goo into Iewry agayne. 8 His disciples sayde vnto him. Master the Iewes lately sought meanes to stone the and wilt thou goo thyther agayne? 9 Iesus answered: are ther not twelve houres in ye daye? Yf a man walke in ye daye he stombleth not because he seith the lyght of this worlde. 10 But yf a ma walke in ye nyght he stombleth because ther is no lyght in him. 11 This sayde he and after yt he sayde vnto the: oure frende Lazarus slepeth but I goo to wake him out of slepe. 12 Then sayde his disciples: Lorde yf he slepe he shall do well ynough. 13 How be it Iesus spake of his deeth: but they thought yt he had spoke of ye naturall slepe. 14 Then sayde Iesus vnto the playnly Lazarus is deed 15 and I am glad for youre sakes yt I was not there because ye maye beleve. Neverthelesse let vs go vnto him. 16 Then sayde Thomas which is called Dydimus vnto ye disciples: let vs also goo that we maye dye wt him 17 Then went Iesus and founde that he had lyne in his grave foure dayes already. 18 Bethanie was nye vnto Ierusalem aboute. xv. furlonges of 19 and many of the Iewes were come to Martha and Mary to comforte them over their brother. 20 Martha assone as she hearde yt Iesus was comynge went and met him: but Mary sate still in the housse. 21 Then sayde Martha vnto Iesus: Lorde yf thou haddest bene here my brother had not bene deed: 22 but neverthelesse I knowe that whatsoever thou axest of God God will geve it the. 23 Iesus sayde vnto her: Thy brother shall ryse agayne. 24 Martha sayde vnto him: I knowe that he shall ryse agayne in the resurreccion at the last daye. 25 Iesus sayde vnto her: I am the resurreccion and the lyfe: He that beleveth on me ye though he were deed yet shall he lyve. 26 And whosoever lyveth and belevest on me shall never dye. Beleveth thou this? 27 She sayde vnto him: ye Lorde I beleve that thou arte Christ the sonne of god which shuld come into the worlde. 28 And assone as she had so sayde she went her waye and called Marie her sister secretly sayinge: The master is come and calleth for the 29 And she assone as she hearde that arose quickly and came vnto him. 30 Iesus was not yet come into the toune: but was in the place where Martha met him. 31 The Iewes then which were with her in the housse and comforted her when they sawe Mary that she rose vp hastely and went out folowed her saying: She goeth vnto the grave to wepe there.
32 Then when Mary was come where Iesus was and sawe him she fell doune at his fete sayinge vnto him: Lorde yf thou haddest bene here my brother had not bene deed. 33 When Iesus sawe her wepe and ye Iewes also wepe which came wt her he groned in ye sprete and was troubled in him selfe 34 and sayde: Where have ye layed him? They sayde vnto him: Lorde come and se. 35 And Iesus wept. 36 Then sayde the Iewes: Beholde howe he loved him. 37 And some of the sayde: coulde not he which openned the eyes of the blynde have made also that this man shuld not have dyed? 38 Iesus agayne groned in him selfe and came to the grave. It was a caue and a stone layde on it. 39 And Iesus sayd: take ye awaye the stone. Martha the sister of him that was deed sayd vnto him: Lorde by this tyme he stinketh. For he hath bene deed foure dayes: 40 Iesus sayde vnto her: Sayde I not vnto the yt if thou didest beleve thou shuldest se ye glory of God. 41 Then they toke awaye ye stone from ye place where the deed was layde. And Iesus lyfte vp his eyes and sayde: Father I thanke the because that thou hast hearde me. 42 I wot that thou hearest me all wayes: but because of the people that stonde by I sayde it yt they maye beleve that thou hast sent me. 43 And when he thus had spoken he cryed wt a loud voyce. Lazarus come forthe. 44 And he that was deed came forth bounde hand and fote with grave bondes and his face was bounde with a napkin. Iesus sayde vnto the: loowse him and let him goo. 45 Then many of the Iewes which came to Mary and had sene the thinges which Iesus dyd beleved on him. 46 But some of them went their wayes to the Pharises and tolde them what Iesus had done. 47 Then gadered the hye prestes and the Pharises a counsell and sayde: what do we? This ma doeth many miracles. 48 Yf we let him scape thus all men will beleve on him and ye Romaynes shall come and take awaye oure countre and the people. 49 And one of them named Cayphas which was the hieprest yt same yeare sayde vnto them: Ye perceave nothinge at all 50 nor yet consider that it is expedient for vs that one man dye for the people and not that all the people perisshe. 51 This spake he not of him selfe but beinge hye preste that same yeare he prophesied that Iesus shulde dye for the people 52 and not for the people only but that he shuld gader to geder in one the chyldren of God which were scattered abroode. 53 From that daye forth they held a counsell to geder for to put him to deeth. 54 Iesus therfore walked no more opely amoge the Iewes: but wet his waye thence vnto a coutre nye to a wildernes into a cite called Ephraim and there hauted with his disciples. 55 And the Iewes ester was nye at hand and many went out of the countre vp to Ierusalem before the ester to purify them selves. 56 Then sought they for Iesus and spake bitwene the selves as they stode in the teple: What thinke ye seynge he cometh not to the feast. 57 The hye prestes and Pharises had geven a comaundemet that yf eny man knew where he were he shuld shewe it that they myght take him. Chapter 12
1 Then Iesus sixe dayes before ester came to Bethany where Lazarus was which was deed and who Iesus raysed from deeth. 2 There they made him a supper and Martha served: But Lazarus was one of them that sate at the table with him. 3 Then toke Mary a pounde of oyntmet called Nardus perfecte and precious and anoynted Iesus fete and wipt his fete with her heer and the housse was filled of the savre of the oyntmet. 4 Then sayde one of his disciples name Iudas Iscariot Simos sonne which afterwarde betrayed him: 5 why was not this oyntmet solde for thre hondred pence and geve to the poore? 6 This sayde he not that he cared for the pooer: but because he was a thefe and kept the bagge and bare that which was geven. 7 Then sayde Iesus: Let her alone agaynst the daye of my buryinge she kept it. 8 The poore all wayes shall ye have with you but me shall ye not all wayes have. 9 Moche people of the Iewes had knowledge that he was there. And they came not for Iesus sake only but yt they myght se Lazarus also whom he raysed from deeth. 10 The hye prestes therfore held a counsell that they myght put Lazarus to deeth also 11 because that for his sake many of the Iewes went awaye and beleved on Iesus. 12 On the morowe moche people that were come to the feast when they hearde yt Iesus shuld come to Ierusalem 13 toke braunches of palme trees and went and met him and cryed: Hosanna blessed is he that in the name of the Lorde commeth kynge of Israel. 14 And Iesus got a yonge asse and sate thero accordinge to that which was writte: 15 feare not doughter of Sio beholde thy kynge cometh sittinge on an asses coolte. 16 These thinges vnderstode not his disciples at ye fyrst: but when Iesus was gloryfied then remembryd they that soche thinges were written of him and that soche thinges they had done vnto him. 17 The people that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave and raysed him from deeth bare recorde. 18 Therfore met him the people be cause they hearde yt he had done soche a myracle. 19 The Pharises therfore sayde amonge them selves: perceave ye how we prevayle no thinge? beholde the worlde goth awaye after him. 20 Ther were certayne Grekes amoge them that came to praye at the feast: 21 the same cam to Philip which was of Bethsayda a cyte in Galile and desired him sayinge: Syr we wolde fayne se Iesus. 22 Philip came and tolde Andrew. And agayne Andrew and Philip tolde Iesus. 23 And Iesus answered them sayinge: the houre is come yt the sonne of ma must be glorified. 24 Verely verely I saye vnto you except ye wheate corne fall into the grounde and dye it bydeth alone. Yf it dye it brengeth forth moche frute. 25 He that loveth his lyfe shall destroye it: and he yt hateth his lyfe in this worlde shall kepe it vnto lyfe eternall. 26 If eny man mynister vnto me let him folowe me and where I am there shall also my minister be. And yf eny man minister vnto me him will my father honoure. 27 Now is my soule troubled and what shall I saye? Father delyver me from this houre: but therfore came I vnto this houre 28 Father glorify thy name. Then came ther a voyce fro heaven: I have glorified it and will glorify it agayne. 29 Then sayd the people yt stode by and hearde: it thoundreth. Other sayde an angell spake to him.
30 Iesus answered and sayde: this voyce cam not because of me but for youre sakes. 31 Now is the iudgement of this worlde: now shall ye prince of this worlde be cast out. 32 And I yf I were lifte vp from the erthe will drawe all men vnto me. 33 This sayde Iesus signifyinge what deeth he shuld dye. 34 The people answered him: We have hearde of ye lawe yt Christ bydeth ever: and how sayest thou then that the sonne of man must be lifte vp? who is yt sonne of ma? 35 Then Iesus sayde vnto them: yet a lytell whyle is the light wt you. Walke whill ye have light lest the darcknes come on you. He that walketh in the darke wotteth not whither he goeth. 36 Whyll ye have light beleve on the light that ye maye be the chyldren of light. These thinges spake Iesus and departed and hyd him silfe fro them. 37 And though he had done so many myracles before them yet beleved not they on him 38 yt the sayinge of Esayas the Prophet myght be fulfilled yt he spake. Lorde who shall beleve oure sayinge? And to whom ys the arme of ye Lorde opened? 39 Therfore coulde they not beleve because yt Esaias sayth agayne: 40 he hath blinded their eyes and hardened their hertes that they shuld not se with their eyes and vnderstonde with their hertes and shuld be converted and I shuld heale the. 41 Soche thinges sayde Esaias when he sawe his glory and spake of him. 42 Neverthelesse amoge ye chefe rulers many beleved on him. But because of the pharises they wolde not be a knowen of it lest they shuld be excommunicate. 43 For they loved the prayse yt is geven of men more then the prayse that cometh of God. 44 And Iesus cryed and sayde: he that beleveth on me beleveth not on me but on him yt sent me. 45 And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me. 46 I am come a light into the worlde that whosoever beleveth on me shuld not byde in darcknes. 47 And yf eny man heare my wordes and beleve not I iudge him not. For I came not to iudge the worlde: but to save ye worlde. 48 He that refuseth me and receaveth not my wordes hath one that iudgeth him. The wordes that I have spoken they shall iudge him in ye last daye. 49 For I have not spoken of my selfe: but the father which sent me he gave me a commaundemet what I shuld saye and what I shuld speake. 50 And I knowe that this comaundement is lyfe everlastinge. Whatsoever I speake therfore eve as the father bade me so I speake. Chapter 13 1 Before the feast of ester whe Iesus knewe that his houre was come that he shuld departe out of this worlde vnto the father. When he loved his which were in the worlde vnto the ende he loved the. 2 And when supper was ended after that the devyll had put in the hert of Iudas Iscariot Simos sonne to betraye him: 3 Iesus knowinge that the father had geve all thinges into his hondes. And that he was come from God and went to God 4 he rose from supper and layde a syde his vpper garmentes and toke a towell and gyrd him selfe. 5 After that poured he water into a basyn and beganne to wash his disciples fete and to wype them with the towell wherwith he was gyrde. 6 Then came he to Simon Peter. And Peter sayde to him: Lorde shalt thou wesshe my fete?
7 Iesus answered and sayde vnto him: what I do thou wotest not now but thou shalt knowe herafter. 8 Peter sayd vnto him: thou shalt not wesshe my fete whill ye worlde stondeth. Iesus answered him: yf I wasshe ye not thou shalt have no part with me. 9 Simon Peter sayde vnto him: Lorde not my fete only: but also my handes and my heed. 10 Iesus sayde to him: he that is wesshed nedeth not save to wesshe his fete and is clene every whit. And ye are clene: but not all. 11 For he knewe his betrayer. Therfore sayde he: ye are not all clene. 12 After he had wesshed their fete and receaved his clothes and was set doune agayne he sayde vnto them? wot ye what I have done to you? 13 Ye call me master and Lorde and ye saye well for so am I. 14 If I then youre Lorde and master have wesshed youre fete ye also ought to wesshe one anothers fete. 15 For I have geven you an ensample that ye shuld do as I have done to you. 16 Verely verely I saye vnto you the servaunt is not greater then his master nether the messenger greater then he that sent him. 17 If ye vnderstonde these thinges happy are ye yf ye do them. 18 I speake not of you all I knowe whom I have chosen. But that ye scripture be fulfilled: he that eateth breed wt me hath lyfte vp his hele agaynste me. 19 Now tell I you before it come: that when it is come to passe ye might beleve that I am he. 20 Verely verely I saye vnto you. He that receaveth who soever I sende receaveth me. And he that receaveth me receaveth him that sent me. 21 When Iesus had thus sayd he was troubled in the sprete and testified sayinge: verely verely I saye vnto you that one of you shall betraye me. 22 And then the disciples loked one on another doutinge of who he spake. 23 Ther was one of his disciples which leaned on Iesus bosome whom Iesus loved. 24 To him beckened Simo Peter that he shuld axe who it was of whom he spake. 25 He then as he leaned on Iesus brest sayde vnto him: Lorde who ys it? 26 Iesus answered he yt ys to whom I geve a soppe when I have dept it. And he wet a soppe and gave it to Iudas Iscarioth Simons sonne. 27 And after the soppe Satan entred into him. Then sayd Iesus vnto him: that thou dost do quickly. 28 That wist no ma at the table for what intent he spake vnto him. 29 Some of the thought because Iudas had the bagge that Iesus had sayd vnto him bye those thinges that we have nede af agaynst ye feast: or that he shulde geve some thinge to the poore. 30 Assone then as he had receaved the soppe he wet immediatly out. And it was night. 31 Whe he was gone out Iesus sayde: now is the sonne of man glorified. And God is glorified by him. 32 Yf God be glorified by him God shall also glorify him in him selfe: and shall strayght waye glorify him. 33 Deare chyldren yet a lytell whyle am I with you. Ye shall seke me and as I sayde vnto the Iewes whither I goo thither can ye not come. Also to you saye I nowe. 34 A newe commaundment geve I vnto you that ye love to gedder as I have loved you that even so ye love one another 35. By this shall all me knowe yt ye are my disciples yf ye shall have love one to another. 36 Simon Peter sayd vnto him: Lorde whither goest thou? Iesus answered him: whither I goo thou canst not folowe me now but thou shalt folowe me afterwardes.
37 Peter sayd vnto him: Lorde why canot I folowe the now? I will geve my lyfe for thy sake? 38 Iesus answered him: wilt thou geve thy lyfe for my sake? Verely verely I saye vnto the the cocke shall not crowe tyll thou have denyed me thryse. Chapter 14 1 And he sayd vnto his disciples: Let not youre hertes be troubled. Beleve in god and beleve in me. 2 In my fathers housse are many mansions. If it were not so I wolde have tolde you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And yf I go to prepare a place for you I will come agayne and receave you eve vnto my selfe yt where I am there maye ye be also. 4 And whither I go ye knowe and ye waye ye knowe. 5 Thomas sayde vnto him: Lorde we knowe not whyther thou goest. Also how is it possible for vs to knowe the waye? 6 Iesus sayd vnto him: I am ye waye ye truthe and ye life. And no man cometh vnto the father but by me. 7 Yf ye had knowe me ye had knowe my father also. And now ye knowe him and have sene him. 8 Philip sayd vnto him: Lorde shew vs the father and it suffiseth vs. 9 Iesus sayde vnto him: have I bene so longe tyme wt you: and yet hast thou not knowen me? Philip he yt hath sene me hath sene ye father. And how sayest thou then: shew vs the father? 10 Belevest thou not that I am in ye father and the father in me? The wordes that I speake vnto you I speakee not of my selfe: but ye father that dwelleth in me is he that doeth ye workes. 11 Beleve me that I am the father and ye father in me. At the leest beleve me for the very workes sake. 12 Verely verely I saye vnto you: he that beleveth on me the workes that I doo the same shall he do and greater workes then these shall he do because I go vnto my father. 13 And what soever ye axe in my name yt will I do yt the father might be glorified by the sonne. 14 Yf ye shall axe eny thige in my name I will do it 15 If ye love me kepe my comaundementes 16 and I will praye the father and he shall geve you a nother comforter yt he maye byde with you ever 17 which is the sprete of truthe whome the worlde canot receave because the worlde seyth him not nether knoweth him. But ye knowe him. For he dwelleth with you and shalbe in you. 18 I will not leave you comfortlesse: but will come vnto you. 19 Yet a litell whyle and the worlde seith me no moare: but ye shall se me. For I live and ye shall live. 20 That daye shall ye knowe that I am in my father and you in me and I in you 21 He that hath my comaundemetes and kepeth them the same is he that loveth me. And he yt loveth me shall be loved of my father: and I will love him and will shewe myne awne selfe vnto him. 22 Iudas sayde vnto him (not Iudas Iscarioth) Lorde what is the cause that thou wilt shewe thy selfe vnto vs and not vnto the worlde? 23 Iesus answered and sayde vnto him: yf a man love me and wyll kepe my sayinges my father also will love him and we will come vnto him and will dwelle with him.
24 He that loveth me not kepeth not my sayinges. And the wordes which ye heare are not myne but the fathers which sent me. 25 This have I spoken vnto you beynge yet present with you. 26 But that coforter which is the holy gost (whom my father will sende in my name) he shall teache you all thinges and bringe all thinges to youre remembraunce whatsoever I have tolde you. 27 Peace I leve with you my peace I geve vnto you. Not as the worlde geveth geve I vnto you. Let not youre hertes be greved nether feare ye. 28 Ye have hearde how I sayde vnto you: I go and come agayne vnto you. If ye loved me ye wolde verely reioyce because I sayde I go vnto ye father. For ye father is greater then I 29 And now have I shewed you before it come yt whe it is come to passe ye might beleve. 30 Here after will I not talke many mordes vnto you. For the rular of this worlde commeth and hath nought in me. 31 But that the worlde maye knowe that I love the father: therfore as the father gave me comaundment even so do I. Ryse let vs go hence. Chapter 15 1 I am the true vyne and my father ys an husbande man. 2 Every braunche that beareth not frute in me he will take awaye. And every braunche that beareth frute will he pourge yt it maye bringe moare frute. 3 Now are ye cleane thorow ye wordes which I have spoke vnto you. 4 Byde in me and let me byde in you. As ye braunche canot beare frute of it sylfe excepte it byde in the vyne: no more can ye excepte ye abyde in me. 5 I am the vyne and ye are the braunches. He that abydeth in me and I in him the same bringeth forth moche frute. For with out me can ye do nothinge. 6 Yf a man byde not in me he ys cast forthe as a braunche and is wyddered: and men gadder it and cast it into the fyre and it burneth. 7 Yf ye byde in me and my wordes also byde in you: axe what ye will and it shalbe done to you . 8 Heare in is my father glorified that ye beare moche frute and be made my disciples. 9 As the father hath loved me eve so have I leved you. Continue in my love. 10 Yf ye shall kepe my comaudemetes ye shall byde in my love eve as I have kept my fathers comaundementes and byde in his love. 11 These thinges have I spoken vnto you yt my ioye myght remayne in you and that youre ioye might be full. 12 This is my commaundement that ye love togedder as I have loved you. 13 Gretter love then this hath no man then that a man bestowe his lyfe for his frendes. 14 Ye are my fredes yf ye do whatsoever I commaunde you. 15 Hence forth call I you not servauntes: for the servaunt knoweth not what his Lorde doeth. But you have I called frendes: for all thinges that I have hearde of my father I have opened to you. 16 Ye have not chosen me but I have chosen you and ordeyned you that ye go and bringe forthe frute and that youre frute remayne that whatsoever ye shall axe of the father in my name he shulde geve it you. 17 This comaunde I you that ye love to gedder. 18 Yf ye worlde hate you ye knowe that he hated me before he hated you. 19 Yf ye were of the worlde ye worlde wolde love his awne. How be it because ye are not of ye worlde but I have chosen you out of the worlde therfore hateth you the worlde.
20 Remember the sayinge that I sayde vnto you: the servaute is not greater then his lorde. Yf they have persecuted me so will they persecute you Yf they have kept my sayinge so will they kepe youres. 21 But all these thinges will they do vnto you for my names sake because they have not knowen him that sent me. 22 If I had not come and spoken vnto them they shulde not have had synne: but now have they nothinge to cloke their synne with all. 23 He that hateth me hateth my father. 24 If I had not done workes amoge the which none other ma dyd they had not had synne. But now have they sene and yet have hated bothe me and my father: 25 eve that the sayinge myght be fulfilled that is written in theyr lawe: they hated me wtout a cause. 26 But when the comforter is come whom I will sende vnto you fro the father which is the sprete of truthe which proceadeth of the father he shall testifie of me. 27 And ye shall beare witnes also because ye have bene with me from the begynninge. Chapter 16 1 These thinges have I sayde vnto you because ye shuld not be offended. 2 They shall excomunicat you: ye ye tyme shall come that whosoever killeth you will thinke that he doth God service. 3 And suche thinges will they do vnto you because they have not knowen the father nether yet me. 4 But these thinges have I tolde you that when that houre is come ye myght remember them that I tolde you so. These thinges sayde I not unto you at the begynninge because I was present with you. 5 But now I goo my waye to him that sent me and none of you axeth me: whither goest thou? 6 But because I have sayde suche thinges vnto you youre hertes are full of sorowe. 7 Neverthelesse I tell you the trueth it is expedient for you that I goo awaye. For yf I goo not awaye that comforter will not come vnto you. But yf I departe I will sende him vnto you. 8 And when he is come he will rebuke ye worlde of synne and of rightwesnes and of iudgement. 9 Of synne because they beleve not on me: 10 Of rightwesnes because I go to my father and ye shall se me no moare: 11 and of iudgement because the chefe ruler of this worlde is iudged all ready. 12 I have yet many thinges to saye vnto you: but ye canot beare them awaye now. 13 How be it when he is come (I meane the sprete of truthe) he will leade yon into all trueth. He shall not speake of him selfe: but whatsoever he shall heare that shall he speake and he will shewe you thinges to come. 14 He shall glorify me for he shall receave of myne and shall shewe vnto you. 15 All thinges that ye father hath aremyne. Therfore sayd I vnto you that he shall take of myne and shewe vnto you. 16 After a whyle ye shall not se me and agayne after a whyle ye shall se me: For I goo to the father. 17 Then sayd some of his disciples bitwene them selves: what is this yt he sayth vnto vs after a whyle ye shall not se me and agayne after a whyle ye shall se me: and that I go to the father. 18 They sayd therfore: what is this that he sayth after a whyle? we canot tell what he sayth.
19 Iesus perceaved yt they wolde axe him and sayd vnto them: This is it that ye enquyre of bitwene youre selves that I sayd after a whyle ye shall not se me and agayne after a whyle ye shall se me. 20 Verely verely I saye vnto you: ye shall wepe and lamet and the worlde shall reioyce. Ye shall sorowe: but youre sorowe shalbe tourned to ioye. 21 A woman when she traveyleth hath sorowe because her houre is come: but assone as she is delivered of the chylde she remembreth no moare the anguysshe for ioye that a man is borne in to the worlde 22. And ye now are in sorowe: but I will se you agayne and youre hertes shall reioyce and youre ioye shall no ma take fro you. 23 And in that daye shall ye axe me no question. Verely verely I saye vnto you whatsoever ye shall axe the father in my name he will geve it you 24. Hitherto have ye axed nothinge in my name. Axe and ye shall receave it: that youre ioye maye be full. 25 These thinges have I spoken vnto you in proverbes. The tyme will come when I shall no moare speake to you in proverbes: but I shall shewe you playnly from my father. 26 At that daye shall ye axe in myne name. And I saye not vnto you that I will speake vnto my father for you 27 For ye father him selfe loveth you because ye have loved me and have beleved that I came out from God. 28 I went out from the father and came into the worlde: and I leve the worlde agayne and go to ye father. 29 His disciples sayd vnto him: loo now speakest thou playnly and thou vsest no proverbe. 30 Nowe knowe we that thou vnderstondest all thinges and nedest not yt eny man shuld axe the eny question. Therfore beleve we that thou camst fro god. 31 Iesus answered them: Now ye do beleve. 32 Beholde ye houre draweth nye and is already come yt ye shalbe scatered every man his wayes and shall leave me alone. And yet am I not alone. For ye father is with me. 33These wordes have I spoke vnto you yt in me ye might have peace. For in ye worlde shall ye have tribulacio: but be of good cheare I have over come the worlde. Chapter 17 1 These wordes spake Iesus and lyfte vp his eyes to heven and sayde: father the houre is come: glorify thy sonne that thy sonne maye glorify the: 2 as thou hast geve him power over all fleshe that he shuld geve eternall lyfe to as many as thou hast geven him. 3 This is lyfe eternall that they myght knowe the that only very God and whom thou hast sent Iesus Christ. 4 I have glorified ye on the erth. I have fynysshed ye worke which thou gavest me to do. 5 And now glorify me thou father wt thyn awne selfe with the glory which I had with ye yerre ye worlde was. 6 I have declared thy name vnto ye men which thou gavest me out of the worlde. Thyne they were and thou gavest them me and they have kept thy sayinges. 7 Now they knowe that all thinges whatsoever thou hast geven me are of the. 8 For I have geven vnto them the wordes which thou gavest me and they have receaved them and knowe surely that I came out from the: and doo beleve that thou dyddest send me. 9 I praye for them and praye not for the worlde: but for the which thou hast geve me for they are thyne. 10 And all myne are thyne and thyne are myne and I am glorified in the.
11 And now am I no moare in the worlde but they are in the worlde and I come to ye. Wholy father kepe in thyne awne name the which thou hast geven me that they maye be one as we are. 12 Whyll I was with the in ye worlde I kepte the in thy name. Those yt thou gavest me have I kepte and none of the is lost but that lost chylde that the scripture myght be fulfilled. 13 Now come I to the and these wordes speake I in the worlde that they myght have my ioye full in the. 14 I have geven them thy wordes and the worlde hath hated them because they are not of the worlde even as I am not of the worlde. 15 I desyre not that thou shuldest take the out of the worlde: but that thou kepe them from evyll. 16 They are not of the worlde as I am not of the worlde. 17 Sanctify the wt thy truth. Thy sayinge is truth. 18 As thou dyddest send me into the worlde even so have I sent them into the worlde 19 and for their sakes sanctify I my selfe that they also myght be sanctified thorowe the trueth. 20 I praye not for them alone: but for them also which shall beleve on me thorowe their preachynge 21 that they all maye be one as thou father arte in me and I in the that they maye be also one in vs that the worlde maye beleve that thou hast sent me. 22 And that glory that thou gavest me I have geven them that they maye be one as we are wone. 23 I in them and thou in me that they maye be made perfecte in one and that the worlde maye knowe that thou hast sent me and hast loved them as thou hast loved me. 24 Father I will that they which thou hast geven me be with me where I am that they maye se my glory which thou hast geven me. For thou lovedest me before the makynge of the worlde. 25 O ryghteous father ye very worlde hath not knowen the: but I have knowen the and these have knowen that thou hast sent me. 26 And I have declared vnto them thy name and will declare it that the love wher wt thou hast loved me be in them and that I be in them. Chapter 18 1 When Iesus had spoken these wordes he wet forth with his disciples over the broke Cedron where was a garden into the which he entred with his disciples. 2 Iudas also which betrayed him knewe the place: for Iesus ofte tymes resorted thyther with his disciples. 3 Iudas then after he had receaved abonde of men and ministres of the hye Prestes and Pharises came thyther with lanterns and fyerbrondes and wepens. 4 Then Iesus knowynge all thinges that shuld come on him went forth and sayde vnto them: whom seke ye? 5 They answered him: Iesus of Nazareth. Iesus sayde vnto them: I am he. Iudas also which betrayed him stode with them. 6 But assone as he had sayd vnto them I am he they went backe wardes and fell to the grounde. 7 And he axed the agayne: whome seke ye? They sayde:Iesus of Nazareth. 8 Iesus answered I sayde vnto you I am he. If ye seke me let these goo their waye. 9 That ye sayinge might be fulfilled which he spake: of the which thou gavest me have I not lost one.
10 Simon Peter had a swearde and drue it and smote the hye prestes servaunt and cut of his ryght eare. The servauntes name was Malchas. 11 Then sayde Iesus vnto Peter: put vp thy swearde into ye sheath: shall I not drinke of ye cup which my father hath geven me? 12 Then the copany and the captayne and the ministres of of the Iewes toke Iesus and bounde him 13 and led him awaye to Anna fyrst: For he was fatherelawe vnto Cayphas which was ye hye preste that same yeare. 14 Cayphas was he that gave counsell to ye Iewes that it was expediet that one man shuld dye for the people. 15 And Simon Peter folowed Iesus and another disciple: that disciple was knowen of ye hye preste and went in with Iesus into the pallys of the hye preste. 16 But Peter stode at the dore with out. Then went out that other disciple which was knowen vnto the hye preste and spake to the damsell that kept the dore and brought in Peter. 17 Then sayde ye damsell that kept the dore vnto Peter: Arte not thou one of this mannes disciples? He sayde: I am not. 18 The servauntes and the ministres stode there and had made a fyre of coles: for it was colde: and they warmed them selves. Peter also stode amonge them and warmed him selfe. 19 The hye preste axed Iesus of his disciples and of his doctrine. 20 Iesus answered him: I spake openly in ye worlde. I ever taught in ye synagoge and in the temple whyther all ye Iewes resorted and in secrete have I sayde nothynge: 21 Why axest thou me? Axe them whiche hearde me what I sayde vnto the. Beholde they can tell what I sayde. 22 Whe he had thus spoken one of ye ministres which stode by smote Iesus on the face sayinge: answerest thou the hyepreste so? 23 Iesus answered him. If I have evyll spoke beare witnes of ye evyll: yf I have well spoke why smytest thou me? 24 And Annas sent him bounde vnto Caiphas ye hye preste. 25 Simon Peter stode and warmed him selfe. And they sayde vnto him: arte not thou also one of his disciples? He denyed it and sayde: I am not. 26 One of the servauntes of the hye preste (his cosyn whose eare Peter smote of) sayde vnto him: dyd not I se the in the garden with him? 27 Peter denyed it agayne: and immediatly the cocke crewe. 28 Then led they Iesus fro Cayphas into the hall of iudgement. It was in the mornynge and they them selves went not into the iudgement hall lest they shuld be defyled but that they myght eate the paschall lambe. 29 Pylate then went out vnto the and sayde: what accusacion bringe ye agaynste this man? 30 They answered and sayd vnto him. If he were not an evyll doar we wolde not have delyvered him vnto the. 31 Then sayd Pylate vnto the: take ye him and iudge him after youre awne lawe. Then the Iewes sayde vnto him. It is not lawfull for vs to put eny ma to deeth. 32 That ye wordes of Iesus myght be fulfilled which he spake signifyinge what deeth he shuld dye. 33 Then Pylate entred into the iudgemet hall agayne and called Iesus and sayd vnto him: arte thou the kynge of ye Iewes? 34 Iesus answered: sayst thou that of thy selfe or dyd other tell it the of me?
35 Pylate answered: Am I a Iewe? Thyne awne nacion and hye prestes have delyvered ye vnto me. What hast thou done? 36 Iesus answered: my kyngdome is not of this worlde. Yf my kyngdome were of this worlde then wolde my ministres suerly fight yt I shuld not be delyvered to ye Iewes but now is my kyngdome not fro hence. 37 Pylate sayde vnto him: Arte thou a kynge then? Iesus answered: Thou sayst yt I am a kynge. For this cause was I borne and for this cause came I into ye worlde yt I shuld beare witnes vnto the trueth. And all that are of ye trueth heare my voyce. 38 Pilate sayde vnto him: what thinge is trueth? And when he had sayd yt he went out agayne vnto the Iewes and sayde vnto them: I fynde in him no cause at all. 39 Ye have a custome that I shuld delyver you one lowsse at ester. Will ye that I lowse vnto you the kynge of ye Iewes. 40 Then cryed they all agayne sayinge: Not him but Barrabas that Barrabas was a robber. Chapter 19 1 Then Pylate toke Iesus and scourged him. 2 And ye soudiers wounde a croune of thornes and put it on his heed. And they dyd on him a purple garment 3 and sayd: hayll kynge of the Iewes: and they smote him on the face. 4 Pylate went forthe agayne and sayde vnto them: beholde I bringe him forth to you that ye maye knowe that I fynde no faute in him. 5 Then came Iesus forthe wearynge a croune of thorne and a robe of purple. And Pylate sayd vnto them: beholde ye man. 6 When the hye Prestes and ministres sawe him they cryed sayinge: crucify him crucify him. Pylate sayde vnto them. Take ye him and crucify him: for I fynde no cause in him. 7 The Iewes answered him. We have a lawe and by oure lawe he ought to dye: because he made him selfe the sonne of God. 8 When Pylate hearde that sayinge he was the moare afrayde 9 and went agayne into ye iudgment hall and sayde vnto Iesus: whence arte thou? But Iesus gave him none answere. 10 Then sayde Pylate vnto him. Speakest thou not vnto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify the and have power to lowse the? 11 Iesus answered: Thou couldest have no power at all agaynst me except it were geven the from above. Therfore he yt delyvered me vnto the is moare in synne. 12 And from thence forthe sought Pylate meanes to lowse him: but the Iewes cryed sayinge: yf thou let him goo thou arte not Cesars frende. For whosoever maketh hi selfe a kynge is agaynst Cesar 13 When Pylate hearde yt sayinge he brought Iesus forthe and sate doune to geve sentece in a place called the pavement: but in the Hebrue tonge Gabbatha. 14 It was the Saboth even which falleth in the ester fest and aboute the sixte houre. And he sayde vnto the Iewes: beholde youre kynge. 15 They cryed awaye with him awaye with him crucify him. Pylate sayde vnto them. Shall I crucify youre kynge? The hye Prestes answered: we have no kynge but Cesar. 16 Then delyvered he him vnto them to be crucified. And they toke Iesus and led him awaye. 17 And he bare his crosse and went forthe into a place called the place of deed mens sculles which is named in Hebrue Golgatha. 18 Where they crucified him and two other with him on ether syde one and Iesus in the myddes.
19 And Pylate wrote his tytle and put it on the crosse. The writynge was Iesus of Nazareth kynge of the Iewes. 20 This tytle reed many of the Iewes. For the place where Iesus was crucified was nye to the cite. And it was written in Hebrue Greke and Latyn. 21 Then sayde the hye prestes of ye Iewes to Pylate: wryte not kynge of the Iewes: but that he sayde I am kynge of the Iewes. 22 Pylate answered: what I have written that have I written. 23 Then the soudiers when they had crucified Iesus toke his garmentes and made foure partes to every soudier a parte and also his coote. The coote was with out seme wrought vpon thorowe out. 24 And they sayde one to another. Let vs not devyde it: but cast loostes who shall have it That the scripture myght be fulfilled which sayth. They parted my rayment amonge them and on my coote dyd cast lottes. And the soudiers dyd soche thinges in dede. 25 Ther stode by the crosse of Iesus his mother and his mothers sister Mary the wyfe of Cleophas and Mary Magdalene. 26 When Iesus sawe his mother and the disciple stondynge whom he loved he sayde vnto his mother: woman beholde thy sonne. 27 Then sayde he to ye disciple: beholde thy mother. And fro that houre the disciple toke her for his awne. 28 After that when Iesus perceaved that all thinges were performed: that the scripture myght be fulfilled he sayde: I thyrst. 29 Ther stode a vessell full of veneger by. And they filled a sponge with veneger and wounde it about with ysope and put it to his mouth. 30 Assone as Iesus had receaved of the veneger he sayd: It is fynesshed and bowed his heed and gaue vp the goost. 31 The Iewes then because it was the saboth eve that ye bodyes shuld not remayne apon ye crosse on ye saboth daye (for that saboth daye was an hye daye) besought Pylate that their legges myght be broken and that they myght be taken doune. 32 Then came the soudiers and brake the legges of the fyrst and of the other which was crucified with Iesus. 33 But when they came to Iesus and sawe that he was deed already they brake not his legges: 34 but one of the soudiers with a speare thrust him into the syde and forthwith came ther out bloud and water. 35 And he that sawe it bare recorde and his recorde is true. And he knoweth that he sayth true that ye myght beleve also. 36 These thinges were done that the scripture shuld be fulfilled: Ye shall not breake a boone of him. 37 And agayne another scripture sayth: They shall looke on him whom they pearsed. 38 After that Ioseph of Aramathia (which was a disciple of Iesus: but secretly for feare of ye Iewes) besought Pylate that he myght take doune the body of Iesus. And Pylate gave him licence. 39 And ther cam also Nicodemus which at the beginnynge came to Iesus by nyght and brought of myrre and aloes mingled to gether aboute an hundred pounde wayght 40 Then toke they the body of Iesu and wounde it in lynnen clothes with the odoures as ye maner of the Iewes is to bury. 41 And in the place where Iesus was crucified was a garden and in ye garden a newe sepulchre wherin was never man layd. 42 There layde they Iesus because of the Iewes saboth even for the sepulcre was nye at honde.
Chapter 20 1 The morow after the saboth daye came Mary Magdalene erly when it was yet darcke vnto ye sepulcre and sawe the stone taken awaye from ye toumbe. 2 Then she ranne and came to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whome Iesus loved and sayde vnto them. They have taken awaye the Lorde out of the toumbe and we cannot tell where they have layde him. 3 Peter went forth and that other disciple and came vnto the sepulcre. 4 They ranne bothe to gether and that other disciple dyd out runne Peter and came fyrst to the sepulcre. 5 And he stouped doune and sawe the lynnen clothes lyinge yet wet he not in. 6 Then came Simon Peter folowynge him and went into ye sepulcre and sawe the lynnen clothes lye 7 and the napkyn that was aboute his heed not lyinge with the lynnen clothe but wrapped togeder in a place by it selfe. 8 Then went in also that other disciple which came fyrst to the sepulcre and he sawe and beleved. 9 For as yet they knew not the scriptures that he shuld ryse agayne from deeth. 10 And the disciples wet awaye agayne vnto their awne home. 11 Mary stode with out at the sepulcre wepynge. And as she wept she bowed her selfe into the sepulcre 12 and sawe two angels in whyte sittyng the one at the heed and the other at the fete where they had layde the body of Iesus. 13 And they sayde vnto her: woman why wepest thou? She sayde vnto the: For they have taken awaye my lorde and I wote not where they have layde him. 14 When she had thus sayde she turned her selfe backe and sawe Iesus stondynge and knewe not that it was Iesus. 15 Iesus sayde vnto her: woman why wepest thou? Whom sekest thou? She supposynge that he had bene the gardener sayde vnto him. Syr yf thou have borne him hece tell me where thou hast layde him that I maye fet him. 16 Iesus sayde vnto her: Mary. She turned her selfe and sayde vnto him: Rabboni which is to saye master. 17 Iesus sayde vnto her touche me not for I am not yet ascended to my father. But goo to my brethren and saye vnto them I ascende vnto my father and youre father to: my god and youre god. 18 Mary Magdalene came and tolde the disciples yt she had sene the lorde and yt he had spoken soche thinges vnto her. 19 The same daye at nyght which was the morowe after ye saboth daye when the dores were shut where the disciples were assembled to geder for feare of the Iewes came Iesus and stode in the myddes and sayd to the: peace be with you. 20 And when he had so sayde he shewed vnto them his hondes and his syde. Then were the disciples glad when they sawe the Lorde. 21 Then sayde Iesus to them agayne: peace be with you. As my father sent me even so sende I you. 22 And when he had sayde that he brethed on them and sayde vnto the: Receave ye holy goost. 23 Whosoevers synnes ye remyt they are remitted vnto the. And whosoevers synnes ye retayne they are retayned. 24 But Thomas one of ye twelve called Didymus was not with the when Iesus came.
25 The other disciples sayd vnto him: we have sene ye lorde. And he sayde vnto the: except I se in his hondes the prent of the nayles and put my fynger in the holes of the nayles and thrust my honde into his syde I will not beleve. 26 And after .viii. dayes agayne his disciples were with in and Thomas with them. Then came Iesus when the dores were shut and stode in the myddes and sayde: peace be with you. 27 After that sayde he to Thomas: bringe thy fynger hether and se my hondes and bringe thy honde and thrust it into my syde and be not faythlesse but belevynge. 28 Thomas answered and sayde vnto him: my Lorde and my God. 29 Iesus sayde vnto him. Thomas because thou hast sene me therfore thou belevest: Happy are they that have not sene and yet beleve. 30 And many other signes dyd Iesus in the presence of his disciples which are not written in this boke. 31 These are written that ye myght beleve that Iesus is Christ the sonne of God and that in belevynge ye myght have lyfe thorowe his name. Chapter 21 1 After that Iesus shewed him selfe agayne at the see of Tyberias. And on this wyse shewed he him selfe. 2 There were to geder Simon Peter and Thomas which is called Didymus: and Nathanael of Cana a citie of Galile and the sonnes of Zebedei and two other of the disciples. 3 Simon Peter sayde vnto them: I goo a fysshynge. They sayde vnto him: we also will goo with the. They wet their waye and entred into a shippe strayght waye and that nyght caught they nothinge. 4 But when the mornynge was now come Iesus stode on the shore: neverthelesse the disciples knewe not yt it was Iesus. 5 Iesus sayde vnto the: syrs have ye eny meate? They answered him no. 6 And he sayde vnto them: cast out ye net on the ryght syde of the ship and ye shall fynde. They cast out and anone they were not able to drawe it for ye multitude of fysshes 7 Then sayde the disciple whom Iesus loved vnto Peter: It is the Lorde. When Simon Peter hearde that it was ye lorde he gyrde his mantell to him (for he was naked) and sprange into the see 8 The other disciples came by ship: for they were not farre from londe but as it were two hondred cubites and they drewe the net with fysshes. 9 Assone as they were come to londe they sawe hoot coles and fysshe layd ther on and breed. 10 Iesus sayde vnto them: bringe of the fysshe which ye have now caught. 11 Simon Peter stepped forthe and drewe the net to londe full of greate fysshes an hondred and .liii. And for all ther were so many yet was not the net broken. 12 Iesus sayde vnto them: come and dyne. And none of the disciples durste axe him: what arte thou? For they knewe that it was the lorde. 13 Iesus then came and toke breed and gave them and fysshe lykwyse 14 And this is now the thyrde tyme that Iesus appered to his disciples after that he was rysen agayne from deeth. 15 When they had dyned Iesus sayde to Simon Peter: Simon Ioana lovest thou me more then these? He sayde vnto him: ye Lorde thou knowest that I love the. He sayde vnto him: fede my lambes. 16 He sayde to him agayne the seconde tyme: Simo Ioana lovest thou me? He sayde vnto him: ye lorde thou knowest that I love ye. He sayde vnto him: fede my shepe.
17 He sayde vnto him ye thyrde tyme: Simon Ioanna lovest thou me? And Peter sorowed because he sayde to him ye thyrde tyme lovest thou me and sayde vnto him: Lorde thou knowest all thinge thou knowest that I love the. Iesus sayde vnto him: fede my shepe. 18 Verely verely I saye vnto the when thou wast yonge thou gerdedst thy selfe and walkedst whyther thou woldest: but when thou arte olde thou shalt stretche forthe thy hondes and a nother shall gyrde ye and leade the whyther thou woldest not. 19 That spake he signifyinge by what deeth he shuld glorify God.And whe he had sayde thus he sayd to him folowe me. 20 Peter turned about and sawe that disciple who Iesus loved folowynge: which also lened on his brest at supper and sayde: Lorde which is he yt shall betraye the? 21 When Peter sawe him he sayde to Iesus: Lorde what shall he here do? 22 Iesus sayd vnto him Yf I will have him to tary tyll I come what is that to the? folowe thou me. 23 Then went this sayinge a broode amonge the brethren that that disciple shulde not dye. Yet Iesus sayde not to him he shall not dye: but yf I will that he tary tyll I come what is that to the? 24 The same disciple is he which testifieth of these thinges and wrote these thinges. And we knowe that his testimony is true. 25 There are also many other thinges which Iesus dyd: the which yf they shuld be written every won I suppose the worlde coulde not cotayne the bokes that shuld be written.
Chapter 1 1 In the former treatise (Deare frende Theophilus) I have written of all that Iesus beganne to do and teache 2 vntyll the daye in the which he was taken vp after that he thorowe the holy goost had geven commaundementes vnto the Apostles which he had chosen: 3 to whom also he shewed him selfe alyve after his passion by many tokens apperynge vnto them fourty dayes and speakynge of the kyngdome of god 4 and gaddered them togeder and commaunded the that they shuld not departe from Ierusalem: but to wayte for ye promys of the father whereof ye have herde of me. 5 For Iohn baptised wt water: but ye shalbe baptised with the holy goost and that with in this feawe dayes. 6 When they were come togeder they axed of him sayinge: Lorde wilt thou at this tyme restore agayne ye kyngdome to Israel? 7 And he sayde vnto them: It is not for you to knowe the tymes or the seasons which ye father hath put in his awne power: 8 but ye shall receave power of the holy goost which shall come on you. And ye shall be witnesses vnto me in Ierusalem and in all Iewrye and in Samary and even vnto the worldes ende. 9 And when he had spoken these thinges whyll they behelde he was take vp and a cloude receaved him vp out of their sight. 10 And while they looked stedfastly vp to heaven as he went beholde two men stode by them in white apparell 11 which also sayde: ye men of Galile why stonde ye gasinge vp into heave? This same Iesus which is taken vp fro you in to heaven shall so come even as ye haue sene him goo into heaven. 12 Then returned they vnto Ierusalem from mount olivete which is nye to Ierusalem coteyninge a Saboth dayes iorney. 13 And when they were come in they went vp into a parler where abode both Peter and Iames Iohn and Andrew Philip and Thomas Bartlemew and Mathew Iames the sonne of Alpheus and Simo Zelotes and Iudas Iames sonne. 14 These all cotinued with one acorde in prayer and supplicacion with the wemen and Mary the mother of Iesu and with his brethren. 15 And in those dayes Peter stode vp in the myddes of the disciples and sayde (the noumbre of names that were to gether were aboute an hondred and twenty) 16 Ye men and brethren this scripture must have nedes ben fulfilled which the holy goost thorow ye mouth of David spake before of Iudas which was gyde to them that tooke Iesus. 17 For he was noubred with vs and had obtayned fellouship in this ministracion. 18 And the same hath now possessed a plot of grounde with the rewarde of iniquite and when he was hanged brast a sondre in ye myddes and all his bowels gusshed oute. 19 And it is knowe vnto all the inhabiters of Ierusalem: in so moche that that felde is called in their mother tonge Acheldama that is to saye the bloud felde. 20 It is written in the boke of Psalmes: His habitacio be voyde and no man be dwellinge therin: and his bisshoprycke let another take. 21 Wherfore of these me which have copanyed with vs all ye tyme that the Lorde Iesus wet in and out amonge vs 22 begynninge at the baptyme of Iohn vnto that same daye that he was taken vp from vs must one be ordeyned to be are witnes with vs of his resurreccion. 23 And they appoynted two Ioseph called Barsabas (whose syr name was Iustus) and Mathias.
24 And they prayed sayinge: thou Lorde which knowest the hertes of all me shewe whether of these two thou hast chosen 25 that the one maye take the roume of this ministracion and apostleshippe from the which Iudas by transgression fell that he myght go to his awne place. 26 And they gave forthe their lottes and the lot fell on Mathias and he was counted with the eleven Apostles. Chapter 2 1 Whe the fyftith daye was come they were all with one accorde togeder in one place. 2 And sodenly ther cam a sounde from heaven as it had bene the comminge of a myghty wynde and it filled all the housse where they sate. 3 And ther appered vnto them cloven tonges lyke as they had bene fyre and it sate vpon eache of them: 4 and they were all filled with the holy goost and beganne to speake with other tonges even as the sprete gave them vtteraunce. 5 And ther were dwellinge at Ierusalem Iewes devoute men which were of all nacions vnder heaven. 6 When this was noysed aboute the multitude came to gether and were astonyed because that every man hearde the speake his awne touge. 7 They wondred all and marveyled sayinge amoge them selves: Beholde are not all these which speake of Galile? 8 And how heare we every man his awne touge wherein we were boren? 9 Parthians Medes and Elamytes and the inhabiters of Mesopotamia of Iury and of Capadocia of Ponthus and Asia 10 Phrigia Pamphilia and of Egypte and of the parties of Libia which is besyde Syrene and straungers of Rome Iewes and convertes 11 Grekes and Arabians: we have herde them speake with oure awne tonges the greate workes of God. 12 They were all amased and wondred sayinge one to another: what meaneth this? 13 Other mocked the sayinge: they are full of newe wyne. 14 But Peter stepped forth with the eleve and lift vp his voyce and sayde vnto them: Ye men of Iewrye and all ye that inhabite Ierusalem: be this knowe vnto you and with youre eares heare my wordes. 15 These are not dronken as ye suppose: for it is yet but the thyrde houre of ye daye. 16 But this is that which was spoken by ye Prophete Iohel: 17 It shalbe in the last dayes sayth God: of my sprete I will powre out vpon all flesshe. And youre sonnes and youre doughters shall prophesy and youre yoge men shall se visions and youre olde me shall dreme dremes. 18 And on my servauts and on my honde maydens I will powre out of my sprete in those dayes and they shall prophesye. 19 And I will shewe wonders in heaven a bove and tokens in the erth benethe bloud and fyre and the vapour of smoke. 20 The sunne shalbe turned into darknes and the mone into bloud before that greate and notable daye of the Lorde come. 21 And it shalbe that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lorde shalbe saved. 22 Ye men of Israel heare these wordes. Iesus of Nazareth a ma approved of God amoge you with myracles wondres and signes which God dyd by him in ye myddes of you as ye youre selves knowe: 23 him have ye taken by the hondes of vnrightewes persones after he was delivered by the determinat counsell and foreknoweledge of God and have crucified and slayne:
24 whom God hath raysed vp and lowsed the sorowes of deeth because it was vnpossible that he shuld be holden of it. 25 For David speaketh of him: Afore honde I sawe God alwayes before me: For he is on my ryght honde that I shuld not be moved. 26 Therfore dyd my hert reioyce and my tonge was glad. Moreover also my flesshe shall rest in hope 27 because thou wilt not leve my soul in hell nether wilt suffre thyne holye to se corrupcio. 28 Thou hast shewed me the wayes of lyfe and shalt make me full of ioye with thy countenaunce. 29 Men and brethren let me frely speake vnto you of the partriarke David: For he is both deed and buryed and his sepulcre remayneth with vs vnto this daye. 30 Therfore seinge he was a Prophet and knewe that God had sworne with an othe to him that the frute of his loynes shuld sit on his seat (in that Christ shulde ryse agayne in the flesshe) 31 he sawe before: and spake in the resurreccion of Christ that his soule shulde not be left in hell: nether his flesse shuld se corrupcio. 32 This Iesus hath God raysyd vp wherof we all are witnesses. 33 Sence now that he by the right honde of God exalted is and hath receaved of the father the promyse of the holy goost he hath sheed forthe that which ye nowe se and heare. 34 For David is not ascendyd into heave: but he sayde. The Lorde sayde to my Lorde sit on my right honde 35 vntill I make thy fooes thy fote stole. 36 So therfore let all the housse of Israel knowe for a suerty yt God hath made ye same Iesus whom ye have crucified lorde and Christ. 37 When they hearde this they were pricked in their hertes and sayd vnto Peter and vnto the other Apostles: Ye men and brethre what shall we do? 38 Peter sayde vnto them: repent and be baptised every one of you in the name of Iesus Christ for the remission of synnes and ye shall receave the gyfte of the holy goost. 39 For ye promyse was made vnto you and to youre chyldre and to all that are afarre even as many as ye Lorde oure God shall call. 40 And with many other wordes bare he witnes and exhorted them sayinge: Save youre selves from this vntowarde generacion. 41 Then they that gladly receaved his preachynge were baptised: and the same daye ther were added vnto them aboute thre thousande soules. 42 And they continued in the Apostles doctrine and felloushippe and in breakinge of breed and in prayer. 43 And feare came over every soule. And many wondres and signes were shewed by the Apostles. 44 And all that beleved kept them selves to gedder and had all thinges comen 45 and solde their possessions and goodes and departed them to all men as every man had nede. 46 And they continued dayly with one acorde in the teple and brake breed in every housse and dyd eate their meate to gedder with gladnes and singlenes of hert 47 praysinge God and had faveour with all the people. And the Lorde added to ye congregacion dayly soche as shuld be saved. Chapter 3 1 Peter and Iohn went up togedder into the teple at the nynthe houre of prayer. 2 And ther was a certayne man halt from his mothers wobe who they brought and layde at the gate of the temple called beutifull to axe almes of them that entred into the temple.
