Where is he that is borne kynge of the Iues? We have sene his starre in the eest, and are come to worship him.
When Herode the kynge had herde thys, he was troubled, and all Ierusalem with hym, and he gathered all the chefe Prestes and Scribes of the people, and (ro) axed of them where Christ shulde be borne. And they sayde vnto hym: at Bethleem in Iury. For thus it is written by the Prophet. And thou Bethleem in . the londe of Iury, art not the leest concernynge the Princes of Iuda. For out of the shall come the captayne, that shall govern my people Israhel.
Then Herod prevely called the wyse men, and dyligently enquyred ofthem, (rs) the tyme of the starre that appered, and sent them to Bethleem saynge: Goo and searche dyligently for the chylde. And when ye have founde hym, bringe me worde, that I maye come and worshippe hym also.
When they had heard the kynge, they departed: and lo the starre which they sawe in the eeste, went before them, tyll it came and stode over the place
(20) where the chylde was. When they sawe the starre, they were marvelously glad: and went into the house, and found the chylde with Mary hys mother, and kneled doune and worshipped hym, and opened their treasures, and offred vnto hym gyftes, gold, franckynsence and myrre. And after they were warned of God in a dreame, that they shuld not go ageyne to Herod, they retourned into (as) their awne countre another waye. + When they were departed: beholde the angell of the Lorde appered to Ioseph in dreame sayinge: aryse, and take the chylde and his mother, and flye into Egypte, and abyde there tyll I brynge the worde. For Herod wyll seke the chylde to destroye hym. Then he arose, and toke the chylde and his mother

And therwere stondynge theare, sixe waterpottes of stone after (s) the maner of the purifyinge of the Iewes, contaynynge two or thre fyrkins a pece.
And Iesus sayde vnto them: fyll the water pottes with water. And they fylled them vp to the brym. And he sayde vnto them: drawe out now, and beare vnto the governer of the feaste. And they bare it. When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was turned vnto wyne, and knewe not whence

Iesus answered and sayde vnto him: Verely verely I saye vnto the: except a man be boren a newe,
(to) he cannot se the kyngdom of God. Nicodemus sayde vnto him: how can a man be boren when he is olde? can he enter into his moders wombe and be boren agayne? Iesus answered: verely, verely I saye vnto the: except that a man be boren of water and of the sprete, he cannot enter into the kyngdome of god.
That which is boren of the flesshe, is flesshe: and that which is boren of the sprete,

Jesus answered and sayde vnto him: arte thou a master in Israel, and knowest (20) not these thinges? Verely verely, I saye vnto the, we speake that we knowe, and testify that we have sene: and ye receave not oure witnes.

Iesus answered and sayde vnto hir: whosoever drinketh of this water, (20) shall thurst agayne. But whosoever shall drinke of the water that I shall geve him, shall never be more a thyrst: but the water that I shall geve him, shalbe in him a well of water, springinge vp in to everlastinge lyfe. The woman sayd vnto him: Syr geve me of that water, that I thyrst not, nether come hedder to drawe. Iesus sayde vnto her. Go and call thy husband, and (2s)come hydder. The woman answered and sayde to him: I have no husband.
Iesus sayde to her. Thou hast well sayd, Ihave no husbande. For thou haste had five husbandes, and he whom thou now hast, is not thy husband. That saydest thou truely. ic The woman sayde vnto him: Syr I perceave that thou arte a prophet.

The man departed, and tolde the Iewes that yt was Iesus, whiche had made him whole.+ And therfore the Iewes dyd persecute Iesus and sought the meanes to slee him, because he had done these thinges on the Saboth daye. And Iesus

Then answered Iesus and sayde vnto them: verely, verely, I saye vnto you: the sonne can do no thinge of him selfe, but that he seeth the father do. For (2s) whatsoever he doeth, that doeth the sonne also. For the father loveth the sonne, and sheweth him all thinges, whatsoever he him selfe doeth.

From that tyme many of his disciples went backe, and walked no moore (to) with him. Then sayde Iesus to the twelve: will ye alsoo goo awaye? Then

[Chap. ix] The Gospell of S. John Ye are of youre father the devyll, and the lustes of youre father ye will folowe. He was a murtherer from the beginnynge, and aboode not in the trueth, because ther is no trueth in him. When he speaketh a lye, then speaketh he of The devel j. io. dij. b. his awne.

Then answered the Iewes and sayde vnto him: Saye we not well that thou Thou art Samaritan and hast t deuell.
(10) arte a Samaritane, and hast the devyll? Iesus answered: I have not the devyll: but I honour my father, and ye have dishonoured me. I seke not myne awne prayse: but ther is one that seketh and iudgeth.
Verely verely I saye vnto you, yf a man kepe my sayinges, he shall never se deeth. Then sayde the Iewes to him:
Now knowe we that thou hast the devyll.

Iesus answered: Yf I honoure my selfe, myne honoure is nothinge worth.
It is my father that honoureth me, which ye saye, is youre God, and ye have not (20) knowen him: but I knowe him. And yf I shuld saye, I knowe him not, I shuld be a lyar lyke vnto you. But I knowe him, and kepe his sayinge.
Youre father Abraham was glad to se my daye, and he sawe it and reioysed.
Then sayde the Iewes vnto him: thou arte not yet. 1. yere olde, and hast thou sene Abraham?

He went his waye and wasshed, and cam agayne seinge. The neghboures and they that had sene him before how that he was a begger, sayde: is not this he
'|(10) that sate and begged? Some sayde: this is he. Other sayd: he is lyke him. But he him selfe sayde: I am even he. They sayde vnto him: How are thyne eyes opened then? He answered and sayde. The man that is called Iesus, made claye, and anoynted myne eyes, and sayd vnto me: Goo to the pole Syloe and wesshe.
I went and wesshed and receaved my syght. They sayde vnto him: where is he?
(ts) He sayde: I cannot tell.
Then brought they to the pharises, him that a lytell before was blynde: for it was the Saboth daye when Iesus made the claye and opened his eyes. Then agayne the pharises also axed him how he had receaved his syght. He sayde vnto them: He put claye apon myne eyes and I wasshed, and do se. Then sayde
The saboth is broken.
(20) some of the pharises: this man is not of God, because he kepeth not the saboth daye. Other sayde: how can a man that is a synner, do suche myracles? And ther was stryfe amonge them. Then spake they vnto the blynde agayne: What sayst thou of him, because he hath openned thyne eyes? And he sayd: He is a Prophet.
But the Iewes dyd not beleve of the felowe, how that he was blynde and receaved his syght, vntyll they had called the father and mother of him that had receaved his syght. And they axed them saying: Is this youre sonne, whome ye saye was borne blynde? How doth he now se then? His father and mother answered them and sayde: we wote well that this is oure sonne, and that he
(25) (30) was borne blynde: but by what meanes he now seith, that can we not tell, or who hath opened his eyes, can we not tell. He is olde ynough, axe him, let him answer for him selfe. Suche wordes spake his father and mother, because they

[Chap. ix] The Gospell of S. John feared the Iewes. For the Iewes had conspyred all redy that yf eny man dyd confesse that he was Christ, he shuld be excommunicat out of the synagoge.
Therfore sayde his father and mother: he is olde ynough, axe him.
Then agayne called they the man that was blynde, and sayd vnto him:
(s) Geve God the prayse: we knowe that this man is a synner. He answered and sayde: Whyther he be a synner or noo, I cannot tell: One thinge I am sure of, that I was blynde, and now I se. Then sayde they to him agayne. What dyd he to the? How opened he thyne eyes? He answered them, I tolde you yerwhyle, and ye dyd not heare. Wherfore wolde ye heare it agayne? Will ye also be his
(ro) disciples? Then rated they him, and sayde: Thou arte his disciple. We be Moses disciples. We are sure that God spake with Moses. This felowe we knowe not from whence he is.
F 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. For we be sure
(1s) that God heareth not synners. But yf eny man be a worshipper of God and do his will, him heareth he. Sence the worlde beganne was it not hearde that Folio eny man opened the eyes of one that was borne blynd. If this man were not Cxxxviti. | of God, he coulde have done no thinge. They answered and sayd vnto him: thou arte altogeder borne in synne: and dost thou teache vs? And they cast
(20) him out.
Tesus 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? He answered and sayde: Who is it Lorde, that I myght beleve on him? And Iesus sayde vnto him: Thou hast sene him, and he it is that talketh with the. And he
(2s) sayde: Lorde I beleve: and worshipped him.+ 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. And some of the pharises which were with him, hearde these wordes and sayde vnto him: are we then blynde? Iesus sayde vnto them: yf ye were blynde, ye shuld have no synne. But now ye saye, we se,

The Gospell of S. John [Chap. x] The. x. Chapter. + Verely verely I saye vnto you: he that entreth not in by the dore, into the shepefolde, but clymeth vp some other waye: the same is a thefe and a robber.
He that goeth in by the dore, is the shepeherde of the shepe: to him the porter openeth, and the shepe heare his voyce, and he calleth his awne shepe by name,
(s) and leadeth them out. And when he hath sent forthe his awne shepe, he goeth before them, and the shepe folowe him: for they knowe his voyce. Astraunger they will not folowe, but will flye from him: for they knowe not the voyce of straungers. This similitude spake Iesus vnto them. But they vnderstode not what thinges they were which he spake vnto them.
(to) Then sayde Iesus vnto them agayne. Verely verely I saye vnto you: J am the dore of the shepe. All, even as many as came before me, are theves and robbers: but the shepe dyd not heare them. I am the dore: by me yf eny man enter in, he shalbe safe, and shall goo in and out and fynde pasture. The thefe cometh not but forto steale, kyll and destroye. Iam come that they myght have

An heyred servaunt, which is not the shepeherd, nether the shepe are his awne, seith the wolfe commynge, and leveth the shepe, and flyeth, and the wolfe catcheth them, and scattereth the shepe. The heyred servaunt flyeth,
Shepeherde- (20) because he is an heyred servaunt, and careth not for the shepe. I am that good shepeheerd, and knowe myne, and am knowen of myne. As my father knoweth me: even so knowe I my father. And I geve my lyfe for the shepe: 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 (2s) one shepeherde.
Therfore doth my father love me, because I put my lyfe from me, that I myght take it agayne. 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:

The Gospell of S. John [Chap. xi] The. xi. Chap. + A Certayne man was sicke, named Lazarus of Bethania the toune of Mary and her sister Martha. It was that Mary which annoynted Iesus with oyntment, and wyped his fete with her heere, whose brother Lazarus was sicke, and his sisters sent vnto him sayinge. Lorde behold, he whom thou lovest, is sicke.
(s) When Iesus hearde that, he sayd: this infirmite is not vnto deth, but for the laude of God, that the sonne of God myght be praysed by the reason of it.
Iesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. After he hearde, that he was sicke, then aboode he two dayes still in the same place where he was. lio Cxl.
Then after that sayd he to his disciples: let vs goo into Iewry agayne. His B (to) disciples sayde vnto him. Master, the Iewes lately sought meanes to stone the, and wilt thou goo thyther agayne? Iesus answered: are ther not twelve houres in the daye? Yfa man walke in the daye, he stombleth not, because he seith the lyght of this worlde. But yf a man walke in the nyght, he stombleth, because ther is no lyght in him. This sayde he, and after that, he sayde vnto them: oure

Iesus vnto them playnly, Lazarus is deed, and I am glad for youre sakes, that I was not there, because ye maye beleve. Neverthelesse let vs go vnto him. Then

(s) Then gadered the hye prestes and the Pharises a counsell, and sayde: what do we? This man doeth many miracles. Yf we let him scape thus, all men will beleve on him, and the Romaynes shall come and take awaye oure countre and the people. And one of them named Cayphas which was the hieprest that same yeare, sayde vnto them: Ye perceave nothinge at all nor yet consider that it is

This spake he not of him selfe, but beinge hye preste that same yeare, he prophesied that Iesus shulde dye for the people, and not for the people only, but that he shuld gader to geder in one the chyldren of God which were scattered abroode. From that daye forth they held a counsell to geder, for to (ts) put him to deeth.
Tesus therfore walked no more openly amonge the Iewes: but went his waye thence vnto a countre nye to a wildernes, into a cite called Ephraim, and there haunted with his disciples. 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.

For I came not to iudge theworlde: but to save the worlde. He that refuseth me and receaveth not my wordes, hath one that iudgeth him. The wordes that (s) I have spoken, they shall iudge him in the last daye. For I have not spoken of my selfe: but the father which sent me, he gave me a commaundement what
I shuld saye, and what I shuld speake. And I knowe that this commaundement is lyfe everlastinge. Whatsoever I speake therfore, even as the father bade me, so I speake. + The. xiii. Chapter. + A (x0) Before the feast of ester when Iesus knewe that his houre was come, that lage he shuld departe out of this worlde vnto the father. When he loved his which ae were in the worlde, vnto the ende he loved them. And when supper was ended, after that the devyll had put in the hert of Iudas Iscariot Simons sonne, to betraye
Folio him: Iesus knowinge that the father had geven all thinges into his hondes. And Cxliiii.
—|(xs) that he was come from God and went to God, he rose from supper, and layde a syde his vpper garmentes, and toke a towell, and gyrd him selfe. 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.
Tesus wassheth his disciples fete Then came he to Simon Peter. And Peter sayde to him: Lorde shalt thou
(20) wesshe my fete? Iesus answered and sayde vnto him: what I do, thou wotest not now, but thoushalt knowe herafter. Peter sayd vnto him: thou shalt not wesshe
B my fete whill the worlde stondeth. Iesus answered him: yf I wasshe the not, thou shalt have no part with me. Simon Peter sayde vnto him: Lorde, not my fete only: but also my handes and my heed. Iesus sayde to him: he that is
(2s) wesshed, nedeth not save to wesshe his fete, and is clene every whit. And ye are clene: but not all. For he knewe his betrayer. Therfore sayde he: ye are not all clene.
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? Ye call me

The Gospell of S. John [Chap. xiii] master and Lorde, and ye saye well, for so amI. IfI then youre Lorde and master have wesshed youre fete, ye also ought to wesshe one anothers fete. For I have geven you an ensample, that ye shuld do as I have done to you. Verely verely
I saye vnto you, the servaunt is not greater then his master, nether the messenger mat. X. c. luce. vj. f (s) greater then he that sent him.
If ye vnderstonde these thinges, happy are ye yf ye do them. I speake not of you all, I knowe whom I have chosen. But that the scripture be fulfilled: he that eateth breed with me, hath lyfte vp his hele agaynste me. Now tell I you before it come: that when it is come to passe, ye might beleve that I am he.
C psal. xl. c (10) Verely verely Isaye vnto you. He that receaveth whomsoever I sende, receaveth me. And he that receaveth me, receaveth him that sent me.
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. And then the disciples loked one on another doutinge of whom he spake. Ther was
(rs) one of his disciples, which leaned on Iesus bosome, whom Iesus loved. To him beckened Simon Peter that he shuld axe who it was of whom he spake. He then as he leaned on Iesus brest, sayde vnto him: Lorde who ys it? 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. And after the soppe, Satan entred into him.
(20) Then sayd Iesus vnto him: that thou dost, do quickly. That wist no man at the table, for what intent he spake vnto him. Some of them thought, because
Iudas had the bagge, that Iesus had sayd vnto him, bye those thinges that we have nede aft agaynst the feast: or that he shulde geve some thinge to the poore.
Assone then as he had receaved the soppe, he went immediatly out. And it (2s) was night. When he was gone out, Iesus sayde: now is the sonne of man glorified. And God is glorified by him. Yf God be glorified by him, God shall also glorify him, in him selfe: and shall strayghtwaye glorify him.

Pylate then went out vnto them 'and sayde: what accusacion bringe ye agaynste this man? They answered and sayd vnto him. If he were not an evyll doar, we wolde not have delyvered him vnto the. Then sayd Pylate vnto them: take ye him, and iudge
(1s) him after youre awne lawe. Then the Iewes sayde vnto him. It is not lawfull for vs to put eny man to deeth. That the wordes of Iesus myght be fulfilled ioe which he spake, signifyinge what deeth he shuld dye. mathew Then Pylate entred into the iudgement hall agayne, and called Iesus, and sayd vnto him: arte thou the kynge of the Iewes?

—_|(20) that of thy selfe, or dyd other tell it the of me? Pylate answered: Am Ia Iewe?
Thyne awne nacion and hye prestes have delyvered the vnto me. What hast thou done? Iesus answered: my kyngdome is not of this worlde. Yf my kyngdome were of this worlde, then wolde my ministrest suerly fight, that I shuld not be delyvered to the Iewes, but now is my kyngdome not from hence.
G _ |(2s) Pylate sayde vnto him: Arte thou a kynge then? Iesus answered: Thou sayst that lam a kynge. For this cause was I borne, and for this cause came I into the worlde, that I shuld beare witnes vnto the trueth. And all that are of the trueth heare my voyce. Pilate sayde vnto him: what thinge is trueth? And when he had sayd that, he went out agayne vnto the Iewes, and sayde vnto them: I fynde

Then Pylate toke Iesus and scourged him. And the soudiers wounde a croune of thornes and put it on his heed. And they dydonhima purple garment, and sayd: hayll kynge of the Iewes: and they smote him on the face. Pylate went forthe agayne, and sayde vnto them: beholde I bringe him forth to you,
(s) that ye maye knowe, that I fynde no faute in him. Then came Iesus forthe wearynge a croune of thorne and a robe of purple. And Pylate sayd vnto them: beholde the man. When the hye Prestes and ministrest 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. The Iewes answered him. We have
(10) a lawe, and by oure lawe he ought to dye: because he made him selfe the sonne of God.
When Pylate hearde that sayinge, he was the moare afrayde, and went agayne into the iudgment hall, and sayde vnto Iesus: whence arte thou? But Iesus gave him none answere. Then sayde Pylate vnto him. Speakest thou not (1s) vnto me? knowest thou not that I have power to crucify the, and have power to lowse the? Iesus answered: Thou couldest have no power at all agaynst me, except it were geven the from above. Therfore he that delyvered me vnto the, is moare in synne. 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.
(20) For whosoever maketh him selfe a kynge, is agaynst Cesar When Pylate hearde that sayinge, he brought Iesus forthe, and sate doune to geve sentence, in a place called the pavement: but in the Hebrue tonge,
Gabbatha. 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. They cryed,
(2s) 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.
Then delyvered he him vnto them, to be crucified.
And they toke Iesus and led him awaye. And he bare his crosse, and went forthe into a place called the place of deed mens sculles, which is named in (30) Hebrue, Golgatha. Where they crucified him and two other with him on ether

(30) And with hym two other:
[Chap. xix] The Gospell ofS: John syde one, and Iesus in the myddes. And Pylate wrote his tytle, and put it on the crosse. The writynge was, Iesus of Nazareth, kynge of the Iewes. 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. Then sayde the hye prestes of the (s) ewes to Pylate: wryte not, kynge of the Iewes: but that he sayde, Iam kynge of the Iewes. Pylate answered: what I have written, that have I written.
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. And they sayde one to another.
10) Let vs not devyde it: but cast loostest 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.
Ther stode by the crosse of Iesus his mother, and his mothers sister, Mary the wyfe of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene. When Iesus sawe his mother, and (1s) the disciple stondynge whom he loved, he sayd vnto his mother: woman beholde thy sonne. Then sayde he to the disciple: beholde thy mother. And from that houre the disciple toke her for his awne.
After that when Iesus perceaved that all thinges were performed: that the scripture myght be fulfilled, he sayde: I thyrst. Ther stode a vessell full of (20) veneger by. And they filled a sponge with veneger, and wounde it about with ysope, and put it to his mouth. Assone as Iesus had receaved of the veneger, he sayd: It is fynesshed, and bowed his heed, and gaue vp the goost.
The Iewes then because it was the saboth even, that the bodyes shuld not remayne apon the crosse on the saboth daye (for that saboth daye was an hye
(2s) daye) besought Pylate that their legges myght be broken and that they myght be taken doune. Then came the soudiers and brake the legges of the fyrst, and of the other which was crucified with Iesus. But when they came to Iesus, and sawe that he was deed already they brake not his legges: but one of the soudiers with a speare, thrust him into the syde, and forth with came ther out bloud and (30) water.
And he that sawe it, bare recorde, and his recorde is true. And he knoweth that he sayth true, that ye myght beleve also. These thinges were done that the exo. Xi num. ix. d zacha. xii

The Gospell of S. John [Chap. xx] G scripture shuld be fulfilled: Ye shall not breake a boone of him. And agayne another scripture sayth: They shall looke on him, whom they pearsed.
After that, Ioseph of Aramathia (which was a disciple of Iesus: but secretly for feare of the Iewes) besought Pylate that he myght take doune the body of (s) Iesus. And Pylate gave him licence. 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 Then toke they the body of Iesu and wounde it in lynnen clothes with the odoures as the maner of the Iewes is to bury. And in the place where Iesus was crucified, was a garden, and in the (10) garden a newe sepulcre, wherin was never man layde. There layde they Iesus because of the Iewes saboth even, for the sepulcre was nye at honde. +

Then she ranne, and came to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Iesus |s)loved, and sayde vnto them.

B And he stouped doune and sawe the lynnen clothes lyinge, yet went he not in.

D Whom sekest thou? She supposynge that he had bene the gardener, sayde vnto (s) him. Syr yf thou have borne him hence tell me where thou hast layde him, that I maye fet him. Iesus sayde vnto her: Mary. She turned her selfe, and sayde vnto him: Rabboni, which is to saye master. Iesus sayde vnto her, touche me not, for Iam 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
(10) god. Mary Magdalene came and tolde the disciples that she had sene the lorde, and that he had spoken soche thinges vnto her. +
E +The same daye at nyght, which was the morowe after the saboth daye, eae when the dores were shut, where the disciples were assembled to geder for feare luke. xxviij. of the Iewes, came Iesus and stode in the myddes, and sayd to them: peace be j. cor xv. a (ts) with you. 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. Then sayde Iesus to them agayne: peace be with you. As my father sent me, even so sende I you.
And when he had sayde that, he brethed on them and sayde vnto them: Receave the holy goost*. Whosoevers synnes ye remyt they are remitted vnto them.

(25) 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.

The Gospell of S. John [Chap. xxi] And many other signes dyd Iesus in the presence of his disciples, which arenot written in this boke. 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.+
The. xxi. Cha. + After that Iesus shewed him selfe agayne, at the see of Tyberias. And on (s) this wyse shewed he him selfe. 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. Simon Peter sayde vnto them: I goo a fysshynge.
They sayde vnto him: we also will goo with the. They went their waye and entred into a shippe strayght waye, and that nyght caught they nothinge.
(10) But when the mornynge was now come, Iesus stode on the shore: neverthelesse the disciples knewe not that it was Iesus. Iesus sayde vnto them: syrs, have ye eny meate? They answered him, no. And he sayde vnto them: cast out the net on the ryght syde of the ship, and ye shall fynde. They cast out, and anonne they were not able to drawe it for themultitude of fysshes
(15) Then sayde the disciple whom Iesus loved, vnto Peter: It is the Lorde.
When Simon Peter hearde, that it was the lorde, he gyrde his mantell to him (for he was naked) and sprange into the see. 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. Assone as they were come to londe, they sawe hoot
(20) coles and fysshe layd ther on, and breed. Iesus sayde vnto them: bringe of the fysshe which ye have now caught. 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. Iesus sayde vnto them: come and dyne.
And none of the disciples durste axe him: what arte thou? For they knewe that (2s)it was the lorde. Iesus then came and toke breed, and gave them, and fysshe lykwyse. And this is now the thyrde tyme that Iesus appered to his disciples, after that he was rysen agayne from deeth. +
When they had dyned, Iesus sayde to Simon Peter: Simon Ioanna, lovest thou me more then these? He sayde vnto him: ye Lorde, thou knowest, that

* He loveth Christ that fedeth his lambes and shepe.

And when he had sayde thus, he sayd to him + folowe me. Peter turned about, and sawe that disciple whom Iesus loved folowynge: which also lened on his brest at supper and sayde: Lorde which is he that shall betraye the? When

The same disciple is he, which testifieth of (20) these thinges, and wrote these thinges. And we knowe, that his testimony is true. +
There are also many other thinges which Iesus dyd: the which yf they shuld be written every won I suppose the worlde coulde not contayne the bokes that shuld be written.

A In the former treatise (Deare frende Theophilus) I have written of all that Iesus beganne to do and teache, 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: to whom also he shewed him selfe alyve, after (s) his passion by many tokens, apperynge vnto them fourty dayes, and speakynge of the kyngdome of god, and gaddered them togeder, and commaunded them,
. xxiiij.g] that they shuld not departe from Ierusalem: but to wayte for the promys of the father, wherof ye have herde of me. For Iohn baptised with water: but ye shalbe baptised with the holy goost, and that with in this feawe dayes. When they were
(10) come togeder, they axed of him sayinge: Lorde wilt thou at this tyme restore agayne the kyngdome to Israel? And he sayde vnto them: It is not for you to knowe the tymes, or the seasons which the father hath put in his awne power: io Clvii.| 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 (ts) even vnto the worldes ende.
B And when he had spoken these thinges, whyll they behelde, he was taken vp, and a cloude receaved him vp out of their sight. And while they looked stedfastly vp to heaven as he went, beholde two men stode by them in white apparell, which also sayde: ye men of Galile, why stonde ye gasinge vp into (20) heaven?
