The Bible (Old and New Testaments)

Jhesus answerde, and seide, This vois cam not for me, but for you.

Now is the doom of the world, now the prince of this world schal be cast out.

And if Y schal be enhaunsid fro the erthe, Y schal drawe alle thingis to my silf.

And he seide this thing, signifiynge bi what deth he `was to die.

And the puple answeride to hym, We han herd of the lawe, that Crist dwellith with outen ende; and hou seist thou, It bihoueth mannys sone to be arerid?

Who is this mannus sone? And thanne Jhesus seith to hem, Yit a litil liyt is in you; walke ye, the while ye han liyt, that derknessis catche you not; he that wandrith in derknessis, woot nere whidur he goith.

While ye han liyt, bileue ye in liyt, that ye be the children of liyt. Jhesus spak these thingis, and wente, and hidde hym fro hem.

And whanne he hadde don so many myraclis bifor hem, thei bileueden not `in to hym;

that the word of Ysaie, the prophete, schulde be fulfillid, which he seide, Lord, who bileuede to oure heryng, and to whom is the arm of the Lord schewid?

Therfor thei myyten not bileue, for eft Ysaye seide,

He hath blyndid her iyen, and he hath maad hard the herte of hem, that thei se not with iyen, and vndurstonde with herte; and that thei be conuertid, and Y heele hem.

Ysaye seide these thingis, whanne he say the glorie of hym, and spak of hym.

Netheles `of the pryncis manye bileueden in hym, but for the Farisees thei knowlechiden not, that thei schulden not be put out of the synagoge;

for thei loueden the glorie of men, more than the glorie of God.

And Jhesus criede, and seide, He that bileueth in me, bileueth not in me, but in hym that sente me.

He that seeth me, seeth hym that sente me.

Y liyt cam in to the world, that ech that bileueth in me, dwelle not in derknessis.

And if ony man herith my words, and kepith hem, Y deme hym not; for Y cam not, that Y deme the world, but that Y make the world saaf.

He that dispisith me, and takith not my wordis, hath hym that schal iuge hym; thilke word that Y haue spokun, schal deme hym in the last dai.

For Y haue not spokun of my silf, but thilke fadir that sente me, yaf to me a maundement, what Y schal seie, and what Y schal speke.

And Y woot, that his maundement is euerlastynge lijf; therfor tho thingis that Y speke, as the fadir seide to me, so Y speke.

Bifor the `feeste dai of pask Jhesus witynge, that his our is comun, that he passe fro this world to the fadir, whanne he hadde loued hise that weren in the world, in to the ende he louede hem.

And whanne the souper was maad, whanne the deuel hadde put than in to the herte, that Judas of Symount Scarioth schulde bitraye hym,

he witynge that the fadir yaf alle thingis to hym in to hise hoondis, and that he wente out fro God,

and goith to God, he risith fro the souper, and doith of hise clothis; and whanne he hadde takun a lynun cloth, he girde hym.

And aftirward he putte watir in to a basyn, and biganne to waische the disciplis feet, and to wipe with the lynnen cloth, with which he was gird.

And so he cam to Symount Petre, and Petre seith to hym, Lord, waischist thou my feet?

Jhesus answerde, and seide to hym, What Y do, thou wost not now; but thou schalt wite aftirward.

Petre seith to hym, Thou schalt neuere waische my feet. Jhesus answeride to hym, If Y schal not waische thee, thou schalt not haue part with me.

Symount Petre seith to hym, Lord, not oneli my feet, but bothe the hoondis and the heed.

Jhesus seide to hym, He that is waischun, hath no nede but that he waische the feet, but he is al clene; and ye ben clene, but not alle.

For he wiste, who `was he that schulde bitraye hym; therfor he seide, Ye ben not alle clene.

And so aftir that he hadde waischun `the feet of hem, he took hise clothis; and whanne he was set to mete ayen, eft he seide to hem, Ye witen what Y haue don to you.

Ye clepen me maistir and lord, and ye seien wel; for Y am.

Therfor if Y, lord and maistir, haue waischun youre feet, and ye schulen waische oon anothers feet;

for Y haue youun `ensaumple to you, `that as I haue do to you, so do ye.

Treuli, treuli, Y seie to you, the seruaunt is not grettere than his lord, nether an apostle is grettere than he that sente hym.

If ye witen these thingis, ye schulen be blessid, if ye doen hem.

Y seie not of `alle you, Y woot whiche Y haue chosun; but that the scripture be fulfillid, He that etith my breed, schal reise his heele ayens me.

Treuly, Y seie to you bifor it be don, that whanne it is don, ye bileue that Y am.

Treuli, treuli, Y seie to you, he that takith whom euere Y schal sende, resseyueth me; and he that resseyueth me, resseyueth hym that sente me.

Whanne Jhesus hadde seid these thingis, he was troblid in spirit, and witnesside, and seide, Treuli, treuli, Y seie to you, that oon of you schal bitraye me.

Therfor the disciplis lokiden togidere, doutynge of whom he seide.

And so oon of hise disciplis was restynge in the bosum of Jhesu, whom Jhesu louede.

Therfor Symount Petre bikeneth to hym, `and seith to hym, Who is it, of whom he seith?

And so whanne he hadde restid ayen on the brest of Jhesu, he seith to hym, Lord, who is it?

Jhesus answerde, He it is, to whom Y schal areche a sop of breed. And whanne he hadde wet breed, he yaf to Judas of Symount Scarioth.

And aftir the mussel, thanne Sathanas entride in to hym. And Jhesus seith to hym, That thing that thou doist, do thou swithe.

And noon of hem that saten at the mete wiste, wherto he seide to hym.

For summe gessiden, for Judas hadde pursis, that Jhesus hadde seid to hym, Bie thou tho thingis, that ben nedeful to vs to the feeste dai, or that he schulde yyue sum thing to nedi men.

Therfor whanne he hadde takun the mussel, he wente out anoon; and it was nyyt.

And whanne he was gon out, Jhesus seide, Now mannus sone is clarified, and God is clarified in hym.

If God is clarified in hym, God schal clarifie hym in hym silf, and anoon he schal clarifie hym.

Litle sones, yit a litil Y am with you; ye schulen seke me, and, as Y seide to the Jewis, Whidur Y go, ye moun not come; and to you Y seie now.

Y yyue to you a newe maundement, that ye loue togidir, as Y louede you, `and that ye loue togidir.

In this thing alle men schulen knowe, that ye ben my disciplis, if ye han loue togidere.

Symount Petre seith to hym, Lord, whidur goist thou? Jhesus answeride, Whidur Y go, thou mayst not sue me now, but thou schalt sue afterward.

Petre seith to hym, Whi may Y not sue thee now? Y schal putte my lijf for thee.

Jhesus answeride, Thou schalt putte thi lijf for me? Treuli, treuli, Y seie to thee, the cok schal not crowe, til thou schalt denye me thries. And he seith to hise disciplis.

Be not youre herte afraied, ne drede it; ye bileuen in God, and bileue ye in me.

In the hous of my fadir ben many dwellyngis; if ony thing lesse, Y hadde seid to you, for Y go to make redi to you a place.

And if Y go, and make redi to you a place, eftsoones Y come, and Y schal take you to my silf, that where Y am, ye be.

And whidur Y go, ye witen, and ye witen the weie.

Thomas seith to hym, Lord, we witen not whidur thou goist, and hou moun we wite the weie?

Jhesus seith to hym, Y am weie, treuthe, and lijf; no man cometh to the fadir, but bi me.

If ye hadden knowe me, sotheli ye hadden knowe also my fadir; and aftirward ye schulen knowe hym, and ye han seyn hym.

Filip seith to hym, Lord, schewe to vs the fadir, and it suffisith to vs.

Jhesus seith to hym, So long tyme Y am with you, and `han ye not knowun me? Filip, he that seeth me, seeth also the fadir. Hou seist thou, schewe to vs the fadir?

Bileuest thou not, that Y am in the fadir, and the fadir is in me? The wordis that Y speke to you, Y speke not of my silf; but the fadir hym silf dwellynge in me, doith the werkis.

Bileue ye not, that Y am in the fadir, and the fadir is in me?

Ellis bileue ye for thilke werkis. Treuli, treuli, Y seie to you, if a man bileueth in me, also he schal do the werkis that Y do; and he schal do grettere werkis than these, for Y go to the fadir.

And what euere thing ye axen the fadir in my name, Y schal do this thing, that the fadir be glorified in the sone.

If ye axen ony thing in my name, Y schal do it.

If ye louen me, kepe ye my comaundementis.

And Y schal preye the fadir, and he schal yyue to you another coumfortour,

the spirit of treuthe, to dwelle with you with outen ende; which spirit the world may not take, for it seeth hym not, nether knowith hym. But ye schulen knowe hym, for he schal dwelle with you, and he schal be in you.

Y schal not leeue you fadirles, Y schal come to you.

Yit a litil, and the world seeth not now me; but ye schulen se me, for Y lyue, and ye schulen lyue.

In that dai ye schulen knowe, that Y am in my fadir, and ye in me, and Y in you.

He that hath my comaundementis, and kepith hem, he it is that loueth me; and he that loueth me, schal be loued of my fadir, and Y schal loue hym, and Y schal schewe to hym my silf.

Judas seith to hym, not he of Scarioth, Lord, what is don, that thou schalt schewe thi silf to vs, and not to the world?

Jhesus answerde, and seide `to hym, If ony man loueth me, he schal kepe my word; and my fadir schal loue hym, and we schulen come to hym, and we schulen dwelle with hym.

He that loueth me not, kepith not my wordis; and the word which ye han herd, is not myn, but the fadris, that sente me.

These thingis Y haue spokun to you, dwellynge among you; but thilke Hooli Goost,

the coumfortour, whom the fadir schal sende in my name, he schal teche you alle thingis, `and schal schewe to you alle thingis, what euere thingis Y schal seie to you.

Pees Y leeue to you, my pees Y yyue to you; not as the world yyueth, Y yiue to you; be not youre herte affrayed, ne drede it.

Ye han herd, that Y seide to you, Y go, and come to you. If ye loueden me, forsothe ye schulden haue ioye, for Y go to the fadir, for the fadir is grettere than Y.

And now Y haue seid to you, bifor that it be don, that whanne it is don, ye bileuen.

Now Y schal not speke many thingis with you; for the prince of this world cometh, and hath not in me ony thing.

But that the world knowe, that Y loue the fadir; and as the fadir yaf a comaundement to me, so Y do. `Rise ye, go we hennus.

Y am a very vyne, and my fadir is an erthe tilier.

Ech braunch in me that berith not fruyt, he schal take awey it; and ech that berith fruyt, he schal purge it, that it bere the more fruyt.

Now ye ben clene, for the word that Y haue spokun to you.

Dwelle ye in me, and Y in you; as a braunche may not make fruyt of it silf, but it dwelle in the vyne, so nether ye, but ye dwelle in me.

Y am a vyne, ye the braunchis. Who that dwellith in me, and Y in hym, this berith myche fruyt, for with outen me ye moun no thing do.

If ony man dwellith not in me, he schal be caste out as a braunche, and schal wexe drie; and thei schulen gadere hym, and thei schulen caste hym in to the fier, and he brenneth.

If ye dwellen in me, and my wordis dwelle in you, what euer thing ye wolen, ye schulen axe, and it schal be don to you.

In this thing my fadir is clarified, that ye brynge forth ful myche fruyt, and that ye be maad my disciplis.

As my fadir louede me, Y haue loued you; dwelle ye in my loue.

If ye kepen my comaundementis, ye schulen dwelle in my loue; as Y haue kept the comaundementis of my fadir, and Y dwelle in his loue.
