The Bible (Old and New Testaments)

These thingis Y spak to you, that my ioye be in you, and youre ioye be fulfillid.

This is my comaundement, that ye loue togidere, as Y louede you.

No man hath more loue than this, that a man putte his lijf for hise freendis.

Ye ben my freendis if ye doen tho thingis, that Y comaunde to you.

Now Y schal not clepe you seruauntis, for the seruaunt woot not, what his lord schal do; but Y haue clepid you freendis, for alle thingis what euere Y herde of my fadir, Y haue maad knowun to you.

Ye han not chosun me, but Y chees you; and Y haue put you, that ye go, and brynge forth fruyt, and youre fruyt dwelle; that what euere thing ye axen the fadir in my name, he yyue to you.

These thingis Y comaunde to you, that ye loue togidere.

If the world hatith you, wite ye, that it hadde me in hate rather than you.

If ye hadden be of the world, the world schulde loue that thing that was his; but for ye ben not of the world, but Y chees you fro the world, therfor the world hatith you.

Haue ye mynde of my word, which Y seide to you, The seruaunt is not grettere than his lord. If thei han pursued me, thei schulen pursue you also; if thei han kept my word, thei schulen kepe youre also.

But thei schulen do to you alle these thingis for my name, for thei knowen not hym that sente me.

If Y hadde not comun, and hadde not spokun to hem, thei schulden not haue synne; but now thei haue noon excusacioun of her synne.

He that hatith me, hatith also my fadir.

If Y hadde not doon werkis in hem, whiche noon other man dide, thei schulden not haue synne; but now both thei han seyn, and hatid me and my fadir.

But that the word be fulfillid, that is writun in her lawe, For thei hadden me in hate with outen cause.

But whanne the coumfortour schal come, which Y schal sende to you fro the fadir, a spirit of treuthe, which cometh of the fadir, he schal bere witnessyng of me;

and ye schulen bere witnessyng, for ye ben with me fro the bigynnyng.

These thingis Y haue spokun to you, that ye be not sclaundrid.

Thei schulen make you with outen the synagogis, but the our cometh, that ech man that sleeth you, deme that he doith seruyce to God.

And thei schulen do to you these thingis, for thei han not knowun the fadir, nether me.

But these thingis Y spak to you, that whanne the our `of hem schal come, ye haue mynde, that Y seide to you.

Y seide not to you these thingis fro the bigynnyng, for Y was with you. And now Y go to hym that sente me, and no man of you axith me, Whidur `thou goist?

but for Y haue spokun to you these thingis, heuynesse hath fulfillid youre herte.

But Y seie to you treuthe, it spedith to you, that Y go; for if Y go not forth, the coumfortour schal not come to you; but if Y go forth, Y schal sende hym to you.

And whanne he cometh, he schal repreue the world of synne, and of riytwisnesse, and of doom.

Of synne, for thei han not bileued in me;

and of riytwisnesse, for Y go to the fadir, and now ye schulen not se me;

but of doom, for the prince of this world is now demed.

Yit Y haue many thingis for to seie to you, but ye moun not bere hem now.

But whanne thilke spirit of treuthe cometh, he schal teche you al trewthe; for he schal not speke of hym silf, but what euer thinges he schal here, he schal speke; and he schal telle to you tho thingis that ben to come.

He schal clarifie me, for of myne he schal take, and schal telle to you.

Alle thingis `whiche euer the fadir hath, ben myne; therfor Y seide to you, for of myne he schal take, and schal telle to you.

A litil, and thanne ye schulen not se me; and eftsoone a litil, and ye schulen se me, for Y go to the fadir.

Therfor summe of hise disciplis seiden togidere, What is this thing that he seith to vs, A litil, and ye schulen not se me; and eftsoone a litil, and ye schulen se me, for Y go to the fadir?

Therfor thei seiden, What is this that he seith to vs, A litil? we witen not what he spekith.

And Jhesus knew, that thei wolden axe hym, and he seide to hem, Of this thing ye seken among you, for Y seide, A litil, and ye schulen not se me; and eftsoone a litil, and ye schulen se me.

Treuli, treuli, Y seie to you, that ye schulen mourne and wepe, but the world schal haue ioye; and ye schulen be soreuful, but youre sorewe schal turne in to ioye.

A womman whanne sche berith child, hath heuynesse, for hir tyme is comun; but whanne sche hath borun a sone, now sche thenkith not on the peyne, for ioye, for a man is borun in to the world.

And therfor ye han now sorew, but eftsoone Y schal se you, and youre herte schal haue ioie, and no man schal take fro you youre ioie.

And in that day ye schulen not axe me ony thing; treuli, treuli, `Y seie to you, if ye axen the fadir ony thing in my name, he schal yyue to you.

`Til now ye axiden no thing in my name; `axe ye, `and ye schulen take, that youre ioie be ful.

Y haue spokun to you these thingis in prouerbis; the our cometh, whanne now Y schal not speke to you in prouerbis, but opynli of my fadir Y schal telle to you.

In that dai ye schulen axe in my name; and Y seie not to you, that Y schal preye the fadir of you;

for the fadir hym silf loueth you, for ye han loued me, and han bileued, that Y wente out fro God.

Y wente out fro the fadir, and Y cam in to the world; eftsoone Y leeue the world, and Y go to the fadir.

Hise disciplis seiden to hym, Lo! now thou spekist opynli, and thou seist no prouerbe.

Now we witen, that thou wost alle thingis; and it is not nede to thee, that ony man axe thee. In this thing we bileuen, that thou wentist out fro God.

Jhesus answeride to hem, Now ye bileuen.

Lo! the our cometh, and now it cometh, that ye be disparplid, ech in to hise owne thingis, and that ye leeue me aloone; and Y am not aloone, for the fadir is with me.

These thingis Y haue spokun to you, that ye haue pees in me; in the world ye schulen haue disese, but trust ye, Y haue ouercomun the world.

These thingis Jhesus spak, and whanne he hadde cast vp hise iyen in to heuene, he seide, Fadir, the our cometh, clarifie thi sone, that thi sone clarifie thee.

As thou hast youun to hym power on ech fleisch, that al thing that thou hast youun to hym, he yyue to hem euerlastynge lijf.

And this is euerlastynge lijf, that thei knowe thee very God aloone, and whom thou hast sent, Jhesu Crist.

Y haue clarified thee on the erthe, Y haue endid the werk, that thou hast youun to me to do.

And now, fadir, clarifie thou me at thi silf, with the clerenesse that Y hadde at thee, bifor the world was maad.

Y haue schewid thi name to tho men, whiche thou hast youun to me of the world; thei weren thine, and thou hast youun hem to me, and thei han kept thi word.

And now thei han knowun, that alle thingis that thou hast youun to me, ben of thee.

For the wordis that thou hast youun to me, Y yaf to hem; and thei han takun, and han knowun verili, that Y wente out fro thee; and thei bileueden, that thou sentist me.

Y preie for hem, Y preye not for the world, but for hem that thou hast youun to me, for thei ben thine.

And alle my thingis ben thine, and thi thingis ben myne; and Y am clarified in hem.

And now Y am not in the world, and these ben in the world, and Y come to thee. Hooli fadir, kepe hem in thi name, whiche thou yauest to me, that thei ben oon, as we ben.

While Y was with hem, Y kepte hem in thi name; thilke that thou yauest to me, Y kepte, and noon of hem perischide, but the sone of perdicioun, that the scripture be fulfillid.

But now Y come to thee, and Y speke these thingis in the world, that thei haue my ioie fulfillid in hem silf.

Y yaf to hem thi word, and the world hadde hem in hate; for thei ben not of the world, as Y am not of the world.

Y preye not, that thou take hem awei fro the world, but that thou kepe hem fro yuel.

They ben not of the world, as Y am not of the world.

Halewe thou hem in treuth; thi word is treuthe.

As thou sentist me in to the world, also Y sente hem `in to the world.

And Y halewe my silf for hem, that also thei ben halewid in treuthe.

And Y preye not oneli for hem, but also for hem that schulden bileue in to me bi the word of hem;

that all ben oon, as thou, fadir, in me, and Y in thee, that also thei in vs be oon; that the world bileue, that thou hast sent me.

And Y haue youun to hem the clerenesse, that thou hast youun to me, that thei ben oon,

as we ben oon; Y in hem, and thou in me, that thei be endid in to oon; and that the world knowe, that thou sentist me, and hast loued hem, as thou hast loued also me.

Fadir, thei whiche thou yauest to me, Y wole that where Y am, that thei be with me, that thei see my clerenesse, that thou hast youun to me; for thou louedist me bifor the makyng of the world.

Fadir, riytfuli the world knew thee not, but Y knew thee, and these knewen, that thou sentist me.

And Y haue maad thi name knowun to hem, and schal make knowun; that the loue bi which thou `hast loued me, be in hem, and Y in hem.

Whanne Jhesus hadde seid these thingis, he wente out with hise disciplis ouer the strond of Cedron, where was a yerd, in to which he entride, and hise disciplis.

And Judas, that bitrayede hym, knew the place, for ofte Jhesus cam thidur with hise disciplis.

Therfor whanne Judas hadde takun a cumpany of knyytis, and mynystris of the bischopis and of the Fariseis, he cam thidur with lanternys, and brondis, and armeris.

And so Jhesus witynge alle thingis that weren to come on hym, wente forth, and seide to hem, Whom seken ye?

Thei answeriden to hym, Jhesu of Nazareth. Jhesus seith to hem, Y am. And Judas that bitraiede hym, stood with hem.

And whanne he seide to hem, Y am, thei wenten abak, and fellen doun on the erthe.

And eft he axide hem, Whom seken ye? And thei seiden, Jhesu of Nazareth.

He answeride to hem, Y seide to you, that Y am; therfor if ye seken me, suffre ye these to go awei.

That the word which he seide schulde be fulfillid, For Y loste not ony of hem, whiche thou `hast youun to me.

Therfor Symount Petre hadde a swerd, and drow it out, and smoot the seruaunt of the bischop, and kittide of his riyt eer. And the name of the seruaunt was Malcus.

Therfor Jhesus seide to Petre, Putte thou thi swerd in to thi schethe; wolt thou not, that Y drynke the cuppe, that my fadir yaf to me?

Therfor the cumpenye of knyytis, and the tribune, and the mynystris of the Jewis, token Jhesu, and bounden hym,

and ledden hym first to Annas; for he was fadir of Caifas wijf, that was bischop of that yeer.

And it was Caifas, that yaf counsel to the Jewis, that it spedith, that o man die for the puple.

But Symount Petre suede Jhesu, and another disciple; and thilke disciple was knowun to the bischop. And he entride with Jhesu, in to the halle of the bischop;

but Petre stood at the dore with outforth. Therfor `the tother disciple, that was knowun to the bischop, wente out, and seide to the womman that kepte the dore, and brouyte in Petre.

And the damysel, kepere of the dore, seide to Petre, Whether thou art also of this mannys disciplis? He seide, Y am not.

And the seruantis and mynystris stooden at the coolis, for it was coold, and thei warmyden hem; and Petre was with hem, stondynge and warmynge hym.

And the bischop axide Jhesu of hise disciplis, and of his techyng.

Jhesus answerde to hym, Y haue spokun opynli to the world; Y tauyte euermore in the synagoge, and in the temple, whider alle the Jewis camen togidere, and in hiddlis Y spak no thing.

What axist thou me? axe hem that herden, what Y haue spokun to hem; lo! thei witen, what thingis Y haue seid.

Whanne he hadde seid these thingis, oon of the mynystris stondynge niy, yaf a buffat to Jhesu, and seide, Answerist thou so to the bischop?

Jhesus answeride to hym, If Y haue spokun yuel, bere thou witnessyng of yuel; but if Y seide wel, whi smytist thou me?

And Annas sente hym boundun to Caifas, the bischop.
