The Bible (Old and New Testaments)

Iesus answered, and saide to them, I haue done one worke, and ye all maruaile.

Moses therefore gaue vnto you circumcision, (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers) and ye on the Sabbath day circumcise a man.

If a man on the Sabbath receiue circumcision, that the Lawe of Moses should not be broken, be ye angrie with me, because I haue made a man euery whit whole on the Sabbath day?

Iudge not according to the appearance, but iudge righteous iudgement.

Then saide some of them of Hierusalem, Is not this he, whom they goe about to kill?

And beholde, he speaketh openly, and they say nothing to him: doe the rulers know in deede that this is in deede that Christ?

Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when that Christ commeth, no man shall knowe whence he is.

Then cried Iesus in the Temple as hee taught, saying, Ye both knowe mee, and knowe whence I am: yet am I not come of my selfe, but he that sent me, is true, whome ye knowe not.

But I knowe him: for I am of him, and he hath sent me.

Then they sought to take him, but no man layde handes on him, because his houre was not yet come.

Now many of the people beleeued in him, and said, When that Christ commeth, will he doe moe miracles then this man hath done?

The Pharises heard that the people murmured these thinges of him, and the Pharises, and high Priestes sent officers to take him.

Then saide Iesus vnto them, Yet am I a little while with you, and then goe I vnto him that sent mee.

Ye shall seeke me, and shall not finde me, and where I am, can ye not come.

Then saide the Iewes amongs themselues, Whither will he goe, that we shall not finde him? Will he goe vnto them that are dispersed among the Grecians, and teache the Grecians?

What saying is this that hee saide, Ye shall seeke mee, and shall not finde mee? and where I am, cannot ye come?

Nowe in the last and great day of the feast, Iesus stoode and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come vnto me, and drinke.

Hee that beleeueth in mee, as saith the Scripture, out of his bellie shall flowe riuers of water of life.

(This spake hee of the Spirite which they that beleeued in him, should receiue: for the holy Ghost was not yet giuen, because that Iesus was not yet glorified.)

So many of the people, when they heard this saying, said, Of a trueth this is that Prophet.

Other saide, This is that Christ: and some said, But shall that Christ come out of Galile?

Saith not the Scripture that that Christ shall come of the seede of Dauid, and out of the towne of Beth-leem, where Dauid was?

So was there dissension among the people for him.

And some of them would haue taken him, but no man layde handes on him.

Then came the officers to the hie Priests and Pharises, and they said vnto them, Why haue ye not brought him?

The officers answered, Neuer man spake like this man.

Then answered them the Pharises, Are yee also deceiued?

Doeth any of the rulers, or of the Pharises beleeue in him?

But this people, which know not the Law, are cursed.

Nicodemus said vnto them, (he that came to Iesus by night, and was one of them.)

Doth our Law iudge a man before it heare him, and knowe what he hath done?

They answered, and said vnto him, Art thou also of Galile? Searche and looke: for out of Galile ariseth no Prophet.

And euery man wet vnto his owne house.

And Iesus went vnto the mount of Oliues,

And early in the morning came againe into the Temple, and all the people came vnto him, and he sate downe, and taught them.

Then the Scribes, and the Pharises brought vnto him a woman, taken in adulterie, and set her in the middes,

And said vnto him, Master, we foud this woman committing adulterie, euen in the very acte.

Now Moses in our Law commanded, that such should be stoned: what sayest thou therefore?

And this they saide to tempt him, that they might haue, whereof to accuse him. But Iesus stouped downe, and with his finger wrote on the groud.

And while they continued asking him, hee lift himselfe vp, and sayde vnto them, Let him that is among you without sinne, cast the first stone at her.

And againe hee stouped downe, and wrote on the ground.

And when they heard it, being accused by their owne conscience, they went out one by one, beginning at ye eldest euen to the last: so Iesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the mids.

When Iesus had lift vp himselfe againe, and sawe no man, but the woman, hee saide vnto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?

She said, No man, Lord. And Iesus said, Neither do I condemne thee: go and sinne no more.

Then spake Iesus againe vnto them, saying, I am that light of the worlde: hee that followeth mee, shall not walke in darkenes, but shall haue that light of life.

The Pharises therefore saide vnto him, Thou bearest recorde of thy selfe: thy recorde is not true.

Iesus answered, and sayde vnto them, Though I beare recorde of my selfe, yet my recorde is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go: but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I goe.

Ye iudge after the flesh: I iudge no man.

And if I also iudge, my iudgement is true: for I am not alone, but I, and the Father, that sent mee.

And it is also written in your Lawe, that the testimonie of two men is true.

I am one that beare witnes of my selfe, and the Father that sent me, beareth witnes of me.

Then saide they vnto him, Where is that Father of thine? Iesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor that Father of mine. If ye had knowen me, ye should haue knowen that Father of mine also.

These wordes spake Iesus in the treasurie, as hee taught in the Temple, and no man layde handes on him: for his houre was not yet come.

Then saide Iesus againe vnto them, I goe my way, and ye shall seeke me, and shall die in your sinnes, Whither I goe, can ye not come.

Then said the Iewes, Will he kill himselfe, because he saith, Whither I goe, can ye not come?

And hee saide vnto them, Ye are from beneath, I am from aboue: ye are of this world, I am not of this worlde.

I said therefore vnto you, That ye shall die in your sinnes: for except ye beleeue, that I am he, ye shall die in your sinnes.

Then saide they vnto him, Who art thou? And Iesus saide vnto them, Euen the same thing that I said vnto you from the beginning.

I haue many things to say, and to iudge of you: but he that sent me, is true, and the things that I haue heard of him, those speake I to the world.

They vnderstoode not that hee spake to them of the Father.

Then said Iesus vnto them, When ye haue lift vp the Sonne of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I doe nothing of my selfe, but as my Father hath taught me, so I speake these things.

For he that sent me, is with me: the Father hath not left me alone, because I do alwayes those things that please him.

As hee spake these thinges, many beleeued in him.

Then saide Iesus to the Iewes which beleeued in him, If ye continue in my worde, ye are verely my disciples,

And shall know the trueth, and the trueth shall make you free.

They answered him, Wee be Abrahams seede, and were neuer bonde to any man: why sayest thou then, Ye shalbe made free?

Iesus answered them, Verely, verely I say vnto you, that whosoeuer committeth sinne, is the seruant of sinne.

And the seruant abideth not in the house for euer: but the Sonne abideth for euer.

If that Sonne therefore shall make you free, ye shalbe free in deede.

I know that ye are Abrahams seede, but yee seeke to kill mee, because my worde hath no place in you.

I speake that which I haue seene with my Father: and ye doe that which ye haue seene with your father.

They answered, and saide vnto him, Abraham is our father. Iesus said vnto them, If ye were Abrahams children, ye woulde doe the workes of Abraham.

But nowe ye goe about to kill mee, a man that haue told you the trueth, which I haue heard of God: this did not Abraham.

Ye do the workes of your father. Then said they to him, We are not borne of fornication: we haue one Father, which is God.

Therefore Iesus sayde vnto them, If God were your Father, then woulde ye loue mee: for I proceeded foorth, and came from God, neither came I of my selfe, but he sent me.

Why doe ye not vnderstande my talke? because ye cannot heare my worde.

Ye are of your father the deuill, and the lustes of your father ye will doe: hee hath bene a murtherer from the beginning, and abode not in the trueth, because there is no trueth in him. When hee speaketh a lie, then speaketh hee of his owne: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.

And because I tell you the trueth, yee beleeue me not.

Which of you can rebuke me of sinne? and if I say the trueth, why do ye not beleeue me?

He that is of God, heareth Gods wordes: yee therefore heare them not, because ye are not of God.

Then answered the Iewes, and said vnto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritane, and hast a deuil?

Iesus answered, I haue not a deuil, but I honour my Father, and ye haue dishonoured me.

And I seeke not mine owne praise: but there is one that seeketh it, and iudgeth.

Verely, verely I say vnto you, If a man keepe my word, he shall neuer see death.

Then said the Iewes to him, Now know we that thou hast a deuill. Abraham is dead, and the Prophets: and thou sayest, If a man keepe my worde, he shall neuer taste of death.

Art thou greater then our father Abraham, which is dead? and the Prophets are dead: whome makest thou thy selfe?

Iesus answered, If I honour my selfe, mine honour is nothing worth: it is my Father that honoureth me, whome ye say, that hee is your God.

Yet ye haue not knowen him: but I knowe him, and if I should say I know him not, I should be a liar like vnto you: but I knowe him, and keepe his worde.

Your father Abraham reioyced to see my day, and he sawe it, and was glad.

Then sayd ye Iewes vnto him, Thou art not yet fiftie yeere olde, and hast thou seene Abraham?

Iesus sayd vnto them, Verely, verely I say vnto you, before Abraham was, I am.

Then tooke they vp stones, to cast at him, but Iesus hid himselfe, and went out of the Temple: And hee passed through the middes of them, and so went his way.

And as Iesus passed by, he sawe a man which was blinde from his birth.

And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sinne, this man, or his parents, that he was borne blinde?

Iesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents, but that the workes of God should be shewed on him.

I must worke the workes of him that sent me, while it is day: the night commeth when no man can worke.

As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

Assoone as he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spettle, and anointed the eyes of the blinde with the clay,

And sayd vnto him, Go wash in the poole of Siloam (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came againe seeing.

Nowe the neighbours and they that had seene him before, when he was blinde, sayd, Is not this he that sate and begged?
