And oon, whos name was Cleofas, answerde, and seide, Thou thi silf art a pilgrym in Jerusalem, and hast thou not knowun, what thingis ben don in it in these daies?
To whom he seide, What thingis? And thei seiden to hym, Of Jhesu of Nazareth, that was a man prophete, myyti in werk and word bifor God and al the puple;
and hou the heiyest preestis of oure princis bitoken hym in to dampnacioun of deeth, and crucifieden hym.
But we hopiden, that he schulde haue ayenbouyt Israel. And now on alle these thingis the thridde dai is to dai, that these thingis weren don.
But also summe wymmen of ouris maden vs afered, whiche bifor dai weren at the graue; and whanne his bodi was not foundun,
thei camen, and seiden, that thei syen also a siyt of aungels, whiche seien, that he lyueth.
And summe of oure wenten to the graue, and thei founden so as the wymmen seiden, but thei founden not hym.
And he seide to hem, A! foolis, and slowe of herte to bileue in alle thingis that the prophetis han spokun.
Whethir it bihofte not Crist to suffre these thingis, and so to entre in to his glorie?
And he bigan at Moises and at alle the prophetis, and declaride to hem in alle scripturis, that weren of hym.
And thei camen nyy the castel, whidur thei wenten. And he made countenaunce that he wolde go ferthere.
And thei constreyneden hym, and seiden, Dwelle with vs, for it drawith to nyyt, and the dai is now bowid doun.
And he entride with hem. And it was don, while he sat at the mete with hem, he took breed, and blesside, and brak, and took to hem.
And the iyen of hem weren openyd, and thei knewen hym; and he vanyschide fro her iyen.
And thei seiden togidir, Whether oure herte was not brennynge in vs, while he spak in the weie, and openyde to vs scripturis?
And thei risen vp in the same our, and wenten ayen in to Jerusalem, and founden the enleuene gaderid togidir, and hem that weren with hem,
seiynge, That the Lord is risun verrili, and apperide to Symount.
And thei tolden what thingis weren don in the weie, and hou thei knewen hym in brekyng of breed.
And the while thei spaken these thingis, Jhesus stood in the myddil of hem, and seide to hem, Pees to you; Y am, nyle ye drede.
But thei weren affraied and agast, and gessiden hem to se a spirit.
And he seide to hem, What ben ye troblid, and thouytis comen vp in to youre hertis?
Se ye my hoondis and my feet, for Y my silf am. Fele ye, and se ye; for a spirit hath not fleisch and boonys, as ye seen that Y haue.
And whanne he hadde seid this thing, he schewide hoondis and feet to hem.
And yit while thei bileueden not, and wondriden for ioye, he seide, Han ye here ony thing that schal be etun?
And thei proferden hym a part of a fisch rostid, and an hony combe.
And whanne he hadde etun bifore hem, he took that that lefte, and yaf to hem;
and seide `to hem, These ben the wordis that Y spak to you, whanne Y was yit with you; for it is nede that alle thingis ben fulfillid, that ben writun in the lawe of Moises, and in prophetis, and in salmes, of me.
Thanne he openyde to hem wit, that thei schulden vnderstonde scripturis.
And he seide to hem, For thus it is writun, and thus it bihofte Crist to suffre, and ryse ayen fro deeth in the thridde dai;
and penaunce and remyssioun of synnes to be prechid in his name `in to alle folkis, bigynnynge at Jerusalem.
And ye ben witnessis of these thingis.
And Y schal sende the biheest of my fadir in to you; but sitte ye in the citee, til that ye be clothid with vertu from an hiy.
And he ledde hem forth in to Betanye, and whanne his hondis weren lift vp, he blesside hem.
And it was don, the while he blesside hem, he departide fro hem, and was borun in to heuene.
And thei worschipiden, and wenten ayen in to Jerusalem with greet ioye,
and weren euermore in the temple, heriynge and blessynge God.
In the bigynnyng was the word, and the word was at God, and God was the word.
This was in the bigynnyng at God.
Alle thingis weren maad bi hym, and withouten hym was maad no thing, that thing that was maad.
In hym was lijf, and the lijf was the liyt of men; and the liyt schyneth in derknessis,
and derknessis comprehendiden not it.
A man was sent fro God, to whom the name was Joon.
This man cam in to witnessyng, that he schulde bere witnessing of the liyt, that alle men schulden bileue bi hym.
He was not the liyt, but that he schulde bere witnessing of the liyt.
There was a very liyt, which liytneth ech man that cometh in to this world.
He was in the world, and the world was maad bi hym, and the world knew hym not.
He cam in to his owne thingis, and hise resseyueden hym not.
But hou many euer resseyueden hym, he yaf to hem power to be maad the sones of God, to hem that bileueden in his name; the whiche not of bloodis,
nether of the wille of fleische, nether of the wille of man, but ben borun of God.
And the word was maad man, and dwellyde among vs, and we han seyn the glorie of hym, as the glorie of the `oon bigetun sone of the fadir, ful of grace and of treuthe.
Joon berith witnessyng of hym, and crieth, and seith, This is, whom Y seide, He that schal come aftir me, is maad bifore me, for he was tofor me;
and of the plente of hym we alle han takun, and grace for grace.
For the lawe was youun bi Moises; but grace and treuthe `is maad bi Jhesu Crist.
No man sai euer God, no but the `oon bigetun sone, that is in the bosum of the fadir, he hath teld out.
And this is the witnessyng of Joon, whanne Jewis senten fro Jerusalem prestis and dekenes to hym, that thei schulden axe hym, Who art thou?
He knoulechide, and denyede not, and he knoulechide, For Y am not Crist.
And thei axiden hym, What thanne? Art thou Elie? And he seide, Y am not. Art thou a profete? And he answeride, Nay.
Therfor thei seiden to hym, Who art thou? that we yyue an answere to these that senten vs. What seist thou of thi silf?
He seide, Y am a vois of a crier in deseert, Dresse ye the weie of the Lord, as Ysaie, the prophete, seide.
And thei that weren sent, weren of the Fariseis.
And thei axiden hym, and seiden to hym, What thanne baptisist thou, if thou art not Crist, nether Elie, nether a profete?
Joon answeride to hem, and seide, Y baptise in watir, but in the myddil of you hath stonde oon, that ye knowen not;
he it is, that schal come aftir me, that was maad bifor me, of whom Y am not worthi to louse the thwong of his schoo.
These thingis weren don in Bethanye biyende Jordan, where Joon was baptisyng.
Anothir day Joon say Jhesu comynge to hym, and he seide, Lo! the lomb of God; lo! he that doith awei the synnes of the world.
This is he, that Y seide of, Aftir me is comun a man, which was maad bifor me; for he was rather than Y.
And Y knew hym not, but that he be schewid in Israel, therfor Y cam baptisynge in watir.
And Joon bar witnessyng, and seide, That Y saiy the spirit comynge doun as a culuer fro heuene, and dwellide on hym.
And Y knew hym not; but he that sente me to baptise in watir, seide to me, On whom thou seest the Spirit comynge doun, and dwellynge on hym, this is he, that baptisith in the Hooli Goost.
And Y say, and bar witnessyng, that this is the sone of God.
Anothir dai Joon stood, and tweyne of hise disciplis;
and he biheeld Jhesu walkinge, and seith, Lo! the lomb of God.
And twei disciplis herden hym spekynge,
and folewiden Jhesu. And Jhesu turnede, and say hem suynge hym, and seith to hem, What seken ye? And thei seiden to hym, Rabi, that is to seie, Maistir, where dwellist thou?
And he seith to hem, Come ye, and se. And thei camen, and sayn where he dwellide; and dwelten with hym that dai. And it was as the tenthe our.
And Andrewe, the brother of Symount Petir, was oon of the tweyne, that herden of Joon, and hadden sued hym.
This foond first his brother Symount, and he seide to him, We han foundun Messias, that is to seie, Crist; and he ledde him to Jhesu.
And Jhesus bihelde hym, and seide, Thou art Symount, the sone of Johanna; thou schalt be clepid Cefas, that is to seie, Petre.
And on the morewe he wolde go out in to Galilee, and he foond Filip; and he seith to hym, Sue thou me.
Filip was of Bethsaida, the citee of Andrew and of Petre.
Filip foond Nathanael, and seide to hym, We han foundun Jhesu, the sone of Joseph, of Nazareth, whom Moyses wroot in the lawe and profetis.
And Nathanael seide to hym, Of Nazareth may sum good thing be?
Filip seide to hym, Come, and se. Jhesus siy Nathanael comynge to hym, and seide to hym, Lo! verili a man of Israel, in whom is no gile.
Nathanael seide to hym, Wherof hast thou knowun me? Jhesus `answerde, and seide to hym, Bifor that Filip clepide thee, whanne thou were vndur the fige tree, Y saiy thee. Nathanael answerde to hym,
`and seide, Rabi, thou art the sone of God, thou art kyng of Israel.
Jhesus answerde, and seide to hym, For Y seide to thee, Y sawy thee vndur the fige tre, thou bileuest; thou schalt se more than these thingis.
And he seide to hem, Treuli, treuli, Y seie to you, ye schulen se heuene opened, and the aungels of God stiynge vp and comynge doun on mannys sone.
And the thridde dai weddyngis weren maad in the Cane of Galilee; and the modir of Jhesu was there.
And Jhesus was clepid, and hise disciplis, to the weddyngis.
And whanne wijn failide, the modir of Jhesu seide to hym, Thei han not wijn.
And Jhesus seith to hir, What to me and to thee, womman? myn our cam not yit.
His modir seith to the mynystris, What euere thing he seie to you, do ye.
And there weren set `sixe stonun cannes, aftir the clensyng of the Jewis, holdynge ech tweyne ether thre metretis.
And Jhesus seith to hem, Fille ye the pottis with watir. And thei filliden hem, vp to the mouth.
And Jhesus seide to hem, Drawe ye now, and bere ye to the architriclyn. And thei baren.
And whanne the architriclyn hadde tastid the watir maad wiyn, and wiste not wherof it was, but the mynystris wisten that drowen the watir, the architriclyn clepith the spouse,
and seith to hym, Ech man settith first good wiyn, and whanne men ben fulfillid, thanne that that is worse; but thou hast kept the good wiyn `in to this tyme.
Jhesus dide this the bigynnyng of signes in the Cane of Galilee, and schewide his glorie; and hise disciplis bileueden in hym.
Aftir these thingis he cam doun to Cafarnaum, and his modir, and hise britheren, and hise disciplis; and thei dwelliden `there not many daies.
And the pask of Jewis was nyy, and Jhesus wente vp to Jerusalem.
