20 And they espied, and sent spies, that feigned them[selves] just [which feigned themselves just], that they should take him in word, and betake him to the power of the prince, and to the power of the justice.
21 And they asked him, and said, Master, we know, that rightly thou sayest and teachest [And they asked him, saying, Master, we know, that thou sayest and teachest rightly]; and thou takest not the person of man, but thou teachest in truth the way of God.
22 Is it leaveful to us to give tribute to the emperor, or nay? [Is it leaveful to us for to give tribute to Caesar, or nay?]
23 And he beheld the deceit of them, and said to them, What tempt ye me?
24 Show ye to me a penny; whose image and superscription hath it? They answered, and said to him, The emperor's [They answering said to him, Caesar's].
25 And he said to them, Yield ye therefore to the emperor those things that be the emperor's [Yield ye therefore to Caesar those things that be Caesar's], and those things that be of God, to God.
26 And they might not reprove his word before the people; and they wondered in his answer, and held peace.
27 Some of the Sadducees, that denied the again-rising from death to life [that deny resurrection for to be], came, and asked him,
28 and said, Master, Moses wrote to us, if the brother of any man have a wife, and he be dead, and he was without heirs [saying, Master, Moses wrote to us, if the brother of any man having a wife died, and he was without free children], that his brother take his wife, and raise seed to his brother.
29 And so there were seven brethren. The first took a wife, and is dead without heirs; [There were therefore seven brethren. The first took a wife, and is dead, without free children;]
30 and the brother following took her [and the second took her], and he is dead without son;
31 and the third took her; also and all seven, and they left not seed [and left no seed], but be dead;
32 and the last of all the woman is dead. [the last of all and the woman is dead.]
33 Therefore in the rising again, whose wife of them shall she be? for seven had her to wife.
34 And Jesus said to them, Sons of this world wed, and be given to weddings;
35 but they that shall be had worthy of that world, and of the rising again from death [forsooth they that shall be worthy to that world, and rising again from dead men], neither be wedded, nor wed wives,
36 neither they shall be able to die more; for they be even with angels, and be the sons of God, since they be the sons of the rising again from death [since they be the sons of rising again].
37 And that dead men rise again, also Moses showed beside the bush, as he saith, The Lord God of Abraham, and God of Isaac, and God of Jacob.
38 And God is not of dead men [Forsooth God is not of dead men], but of living men; for all men live to him.
39 And some of the scribes answering, said, Master, thou hast well-said.
40 And they durst no more ask him any thing.
41 But he said to them, How say men, Christ to be the son of David [How say men, that Christ is the son of David],
42 and David himself saith in the book of Psalms, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou on my right half,
43 till I put thine enemies a stool of thy feet?
44 Therefore David calleth him Lord, and how is he his son?
45 And in hearing of all the people, he said to his disciples,
46 Be ye ware of the scribes, that will wander in stoles, and love salutations in the market [and love salutations in the markets], and the first chairs in the synagogues, and the first sitting places in [the] feasts;
47 that devour the houses of widows, and feign long praying; these shall take the more damnation. [which devour the houses of widows, feigning long prayer; these shall take more damnation.]
21 And he beheld, and saw the rich men, that cast their gifts into the treasury;
2 but he saw also a little poor widow casting two farthings.[a]
3 And he said, Truly I say to you, that this poor widow cast more than all men.
4 For why all these of [the] thing that was plenteous to them [For why all these of the abundance, or plenteous, to them] cast into the gifts of God; but this widow of that thing that failed to her, cast all her livelode [sent all her lifelode], that she had.
5 And when some men said of the temple, that it was appareled with good stones and gifts [that it was adorned with good stones and gifts], he said,
6 These things that ye see, days shall come, in which a stone shall not be left on a stone, which shall not be destroyed.[b]
7 And they asked him, and said [saying], Commander, when shall these things be? and what token shall be, when they shall begin to be done?
8 And he said, See ye, that ye be not deceived; for many shall come in my name, saying, For I am, and the time shall approach [and the time shall nigh]; therefore do not ye go after them.
9 And when ye shall hear battles and strives within [But when ye shall hear battles and dissensions within], do not ye be afeared; it behooveth first these things to be done, but not yet at once is an end [but not yet anon the end].
10 Then he said to them, Folk shall rise against folk, and realm against realm;
11 and great movings of the earth shall be by places, and pestilences, and hungers, and dreads from heaven, and great tokens shall be.
12 But before all these things they shall set their hands on you, and shall pursue you, betaking into synagogues and keepings, drawing you to kings and to justices[c], for my name;
13 but it shall fall to you into witnessing.
14 Therefore put ye in your hearts, not to think before, how ye shall answer;
15 for I shall give to you mouth and wisdom, to which all your adversaries shall not be able to against-stand, and gainsay [and against-say].
16 And ye shall be taken of father, and mother [Soothly ye shall be betrayed of father, and mother], and brethren, and cousins, and friends, and by death they shall torment [some] of you;
17 and ye shall be in hate to all men for my name. [and ye shall be hated of all men for my name.]
18 And an hair of your head shall not perish;
19 in your patience ye shall wield your souls.
20 But when ye shall see Jerusalem be environed with an host, then know ye, that the desolation of it shall approach. [Forsooth when ye shall see Jerusalem environed of an host of battle, then know ye, that the desolation thereof shall nigh.]
21 Then they that be in Judaea, flee to the mountains; and they that be in the middle of it, go away; and they that be in the countries, enter not into it.
22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things that be written, be fulfilled.
23 And woe to them, that be with child, and nourishing in those days [and nursing in those days]; for a great dis-ease shall be on the earth, and wrath to this people.
24 And they shall fall by the sharpness of sword, and they shall be led prisoners into all folks [and they shall be led captive, or prisoners, into all folks]; and Jerusalem shall be defouled of heathen men [and Jerusalem shall be defouled, or trodden down, of heathen men], till the times of nations be fulfilled.
25 And tokens shall be in the sun, and the moon, and in the stars; and in the earth overlaying of folks, for confusion of the sound of the sea and of floods [for confusion of sound of the sea and waves];
26 for men shall wax dry for dread and abiding that shall come into all the world [men waxing dry for dread and abiding that shall come on all the world]; for virtues of heaven shall be moved.
27 And then they shall see man's Son coming in a cloud, with great power and majesty.
28 And when these things begin to be made, behold ye, and raise ye your heads, for your redemption approacheth.[d]
29 And he said to them a likeness, See ye the fig tree, and all trees,
30 when they bring forth now of themselves fruit [when they bring forth fruit now of them], ye know that summer is nigh;
31 so [also] ye, when ye see these things to be done, know ye, that the kingdom of God is nigh.
32 Truly I say to you, that this generation shall not pass, till all things be done.
33 Heaven and earth shall pass, but my words shall not pass.
34 But take ye heed to yourselves [Forsooth perceive ye, or take heed, to yourselves], lest peradventure your hearts be grieved with gluttony, and drunkenness, and busynesses of this life, and that day come suddenly on you [and that day come sudden upon you];
35 for as a snare it shall come on all men, that sit on the face of all the earth.
36 Therefore wake ye, praying in each time, that ye be had worthy to flee all these things that be to come [that ye be worthy to flee all these things that shall come], and to stand before man's Son.
37 And in days he was teaching in the temple, but in nights he went out, and dwelled in the mount, that is called of Olives.
38 And all the people rose early [And all the people hasted, or came early], to come to him in the temple, for to hear him.
22 And the holiday of therf loaves, that is said pask, approached.[e]
2 And the princes of priests and the scribes sought, how they should slay Jesus, but they dreaded the people.
3 And Satan entered into Judas, that was called Iscariot, one of the twelve.
4 And he went, and spake with the princes of priests, and with the magistrates, how he should betray him to them.
5 And they joyed, and made covenant to give him money.
6 And he promised, and he sought opportunity, to betray him, without the people. [And he promised, and he sought covenability, that he should betray him, without the companies.]
7 But the days of therf loaves came, in which it was need, that the sacrifice of pask were slain [in which it was need, that pask, that is, the sacrifice of pask, be slain].
8 And he sent Peter and John, and said [saying], Go ye, and make ready to us the pask, that we eat.
9 And they said, Where wilt thou, that we make ready?
10 And he said to them, Lo! when ye shall enter into the city, a man bearing a vessel of water shall meet you; follow ye him into the house, into which he entereth.
11 And ye shall say to the husbandman of the house, The master saith to thee, Where is a chamber [Where is the harbourgerie], where I shall eat the pask with my disciples?
12 And he shall show to you a great supping place strewed, and there make ye ready.
13 And they went, and found as he said to them, and they made ready the pask.
14 And when the hour was come, he sat to the meat [he sat to meat], and the twelve apostles with him.
15 And he said to them, With desire I have desired to eat with you this pask, before that I suffer;
16 for I say to you, that from this time I shall not eat it, till it be fulfilled in the realm of God.
17 And when he had taken the cup, he did graces [he did thankings], and said, Take ye, and part ye among you;
18 for I say to you, that I shall not drink of the kind of this vine [soothly I say to you, I shall not drink of the generation of this vine], till the realm of God come.
19 And when he had taken bread, he did thankings, and brake, and gave to them, and said, This is my body, that shall be given for you; do ye this thing in mind of me. [And the bread taken, he did graces, or thankings, and brake, and gave to them, saying, This is my body, which shall be given for you; do ye this thing into my commemoration, or into mind of me.]
20 He took also the cup, after that he had supped, and said, This cup is the new testament in my blood, that shall be shed for you. [Also and the chalice, after that he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which shall be shed for you.]
21 Nevertheless lo! the hand of him that betrayeth me, is with me at the table.
22 And [soothly] man's Son goeth, as it is determined; nevertheless woe to that man, by whom he shall be betrayed.
23 And they began to seek among them[selves], who it was of them, that was to do this thing.
24 And strife was made among them, which of them should be seen to be greatest.
25 But he said to them, Kings of heathen men be lords of them, and they that have power on them be called good doers, [Forsooth he said to them, Kings of heathen men be lords, or lordship, of them, and they that have power upon them be called good doers,]
26 but ye not so; but he that is greatest among you, be made as a younger [be made as the younger], and he that is [a] before-goer, as a servant.
27 For who is greater, he that sitteth at the meat, or he that ministereth? whether not he that sitteth at the meat? And I am in the middle of you [Forsooth I am in the midst of you], as he that ministereth.
28 And ye [it] be, that have dwelled with me in my temptations; [Soothly ye it be that have dwelt with me in my temptations;]
29 and I assign to you, as my Father hath assigned to me, a realm, [and I dispose to you, as my Father hath disposed to me, a realm,]
30 that ye eat and drink on my board in my realm, and sit on thrones, and deem the twelve kindreds of Israel [deeming the twelve kindreds of Israel].
31 And the Lord said to Simon, Simon, lo! Satan hath asked (for) you, that he should riddle you as wheat;
32 but I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not; and thou sometime converted [and thou converted sometime], confirm thy brethren.
33 Which said to him, Lord, I am ready to go into prison and into death with thee. [Which said to him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, and into prison and into death.]
34 And he said, I say to thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow to day, till thou thrice forsake that thou knowest me.
35 And he said to them, When I sent you without satchel, and scrip, and shoes, whether any thing failed to you? And they said, Nothing.
36 Therefore he said to them, But now he that hath a satchel, take also and a scrip; and he that hath none [and he that hath not], sell his coat, and buy a sword.
37 For I say to you, that yet it behooveth that thing [this thing] that is written to be fulfilled in me, And he is areckoned with wicked men; for those things that be of me have an end.
38 And they said, Lord, lo! two swords here. And he said to them, It is enough.
39 And he went out, and went after the custom into the hill of Olives [And he gone out, went by custom into the hill of Olives]; and the disciples followed him.
40 And when he came to the place, he said to them, Pray ye, lest ye enter into temptation.
41 And he was taken away from them, as much as is a stone's cast; and he kneeled, and prayed,
42 and said [saying], Father, if thou wilt, do away this cup from me; nevertheless not my will be done, but thine [nevertheless not my will, but thine be done].
43 And an angel appeared to him from heaven, and comforted him [comforting him].
44 And he was made in agony, and prayed the longer [And he made in agony, either anguish, prayed longer]; and his sweat was made as drops of blood running down into the earth.
45 And when he was risen from prayer [And when he had risen from prayer], and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for heaviness.
46 And he said to them, What sleep ye? Rise ye, and pray ye [Rise ye, and pray], that ye enter not into temptation.
47 Yet while he spake, lo! a company, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them; and he came [nigh] to Jesus, to kiss him.
48 And Jesus said to him, Judas, betrayest thou man's Son with a kiss?
49 And they that were about him, and saw that that was to come, said to him, Lord, whether we smite with sword?
50 And one of them smote the servant of the prince of priests, and cut off his right ear.
51 But Jesus answered, and said, Suffer ye till hither. And when he had touched his ear, he healed him.
52 And Jesus said to them, that came to him, the princes of priests, and magistrates of the temple [and magistrates, or masters, of the temple], and elder men, As to a thief ye have gone out with swords and staves?
53 When I was each day with you in the temple, ye stretched not out [the] hands into me; but this is your hour, and the power of darknesses.
54 And they took him, and led to the house of the prince of priests; and Peter followed him afar.
55 And when a fire was kindled in the middle of the great house, and they sat about, Peter was in the middle of them.
56 Whom when a damsel had seen sitting at the light[f], and had beheld him, she said, And this was with him.
57 And he denied him, and said [saying], Woman, I know him not.
58 And after a little another man saw him, and said, And thou art of them. But Peter said, A! man, I am not.
59 And when a space was made as of one hour, [soothly] another affirmed, and said [saying], Truly this was with him; for also he is of Galilee.
60 And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And at once [And anon] yet while he spake, the cock crew.
61 And the Lord turned again [And the Lord turned], and beheld Peter; and Peter had mind of the word of Jesus, as he had said, Before that the cock crow, thrice thou shalt deny me.
62 And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.
63 And the men that held him scorned him, and smote him.
64 And they blindfolded him, and smote his face, and asked him, and said, Declare, thou Christ, to us, who is he that smote thee? [And they veiled him, and smote his face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy thou, who is it that smote thee?]
65 Also they blaspheming said against him many other things. [Also they blaspheming said many other things against him.]
66 And as the day was come, the elder men of the people, and the princes of priests, and the scribes came together, and led him into their council, and said [saying],
67 If thou art Christ, say to us. And he said to them, If I say to you, ye will not believe to me;
68 and if I ask, ye will not answer to me, neither ye will deliver me. [soothly and if I shall ask, ye shall not answer to me, neither ye shall let go.]
69 But after this time man's Son shall be sitting on the right half of the virtue of God.
70 Therefore all said, Then art thou the Son of God? And he said, Ye say that I am.
71 And they said, What yet desire we witnessing? for we ourselves have heard of his mouth.
23 And all the multitude of them arose, and led him to Pilate.
2 And they began to accuse him, and said [saying], We have found this [man] turning upside-down our folk, and forbidding tribute to be given to the emperor [and forbidding tribute to be given to Caesar], and saying that himself is Christ a king.
3 And Pilate asked him, and said [saying], Art thou king of Jews? And he answered, and said, Thou sayest.
4 And Pilate said to the princes of priests, and to the people, I find nothing of cause in this man.
5 And they waxed stronger, and said [saying], He moveth the people, teaching through all Judaea, beginning from Galilee till hither [beginning from Galilee to hither].
6 And Pilate hearing Galilee asked, if he were a man of Galilee.
7 And when he knew that he was of the power of Herod, he sent him to Herod; which was at Jerusalem in those days. [And as he knew that he was of the power of Herod, he sent him again to Herod; the which and he was at Jerusalem in those days.]
8 And when Herod saw Jesus, he joyed full much; for long time he coveted to see him, for he heard many things of him, and hoped to see some token done of him [for he was coveting of much time to see him, for he heard many things of him, and hoped to see some miracle be done of him].
9 And he asked him in many words; and he answered nothing to him.
10 And the princes of priests and the scribes stood, steadfastly accusing him.
11 But Herod with his host despised him, and scorned him, and clothed him with a white cloak [with a white cloth], and sent him again to Pilate.
12 And Herod and Pilate were made friends from that day [And Herod and Pilate were made friends in that day]; for before they were enemies together.
13 And Pilate called together the princes of priests and the magistrates of the people,
14 and said to them, Ye have brought to me this man, as turning away the people, and lo! I asking before you find no cause in this man of these things, in which ye accuse him;
15 neither Herod, for he hath sent him again to us [but neither Herod, for I again sent you to him], and lo! nothing worthy of death is done to him.
16 And therefore I shall amend him, and deliver him.[g]
17 But he must needs deliver to them one by the feast day. [Forsooth he had need to dismiss, or deliver, to them one by the feast day.]
18 And all the people cried together, and said, Do him away, and deliver to us Barabbas; [Soothly all the company cried, saying, Do him away, and deliver to us Barabbas;]
19 which was sent into prison for disturbing made in the city, and for manslaying. [the which was sent into prison for some sedition, or disturbing, made in the city, and for manslaying.]
20 And again Pilate spake to them, and would deliver Jesus. [Forsooth again Pilate spake to them, willing to deliver Jesus.]
21 And they cried out, and said [And they under-cried, saying], Crucify, crucify him.
22 And the third time he said to them, For what evil hath he done [Soothly what of evil hath he done]? I find no cause of death in him; therefore I shall chastise him, and shall deliver him [and I shall deliver].
23 And they continued with great voices asking [And they continued asking with great voices], that he should be crucified; and the voices of them waxed strong.
24 And Pilate deemed their asking to be done.
25 And he delivered to them him, that for manslaying and sedition was sent into prison, whom they asked; but he betook Jesus to their will.
26 And when they led him, they took a man, Simon of Cyrene, coming from the town, and they laid on him the cross to bear after Jesus.
27 And there followed him much people [Soothly there followed him much company of people], and [of] women that bewailed, and bemourned him.
28 And Jesus turned to them, and said, Daughters of Jerusalem, do not ye weep on me, but weep ye on yourselves and on your sons.
29 For lo! days shall come, in which it shall be said, Blessed be barren women, and [the] wombs that have not born children, and the teats that have not given suck.[h]
30 Then they shall begin to say to mountains, Fall ye down on us, and to small hills, Cover ye us.
31 For if in a green tree they do these things [For if they do these things in a green tree], what shall be done in a dry?
32 Also [and] other two wicked men were led with him, to be slain.
33 And when they came into a place, that is called of Calvary[i], there they crucified him, and the thieves, one on the right half, and the other on the left half.
34 But Jesus said, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. And they parted his clothes, and cast lots [Forsooth they parting his clothes, sent lots].
35 And the people stood abiding; and the princes scorned him with them, and said, Other men he made safe; make he himself safe, if this be Christ, the chosen of God. [And the people stood abiding; and the princes scorned him with them, saying, Other men he made safe; make he himself safe, if he is Christ, the chosen of God.]
36 And the knights approached, and scorned him, and proffered vinegar to him, [Forsooth and knights coming nigh scorned him, and offered vinegar to him,]
37 and said [saying], If thou art king of Jews, make thee safe.
38 And the superscription was written over him with Greek letters [with letters of Greek], and of Latin, and of Hebrew, This is the king of Jews.
39 And one of these thieves that hanged, blasphemed him, and said [Forsooth one of those thieves that hanged, blasphemed him, saying], If thou art Christ, make thyself safe and us.
40 But the other answering, blamed him, and said, Neither thou dreadest God, [thou] that art in the same condemnation? [Soothly the tother answering, blamed him, saying, Neither thou dreadest God, thou that art in the same damnation?]
41 And truly we justly, for we have received worthy things to our works; but this did nothing of evil. [And truly we justly, for we have received worthy things to deeds; soothly this hath done no evil.]
42 And he said to Jesus, Lord, have mind of me [Lord, have mind on me], when thou comest into thy kingdom.
43 And Jesus said to him, Truly I say to thee, this day thou shalt be with me in paradise.
44 And it was almost the sixth hour, and darknesses were made on all the earth into the ninth hour [till the ninth hour].
45 And the sun was made dark, and the veil of the temple was rent atwo [and the veil of the temple was cut the middle].
46 And Jesus crying with a great voice, said, Father, into thine hands I betake my spirit. And he saying these things, gave up the ghost. [And Jesus crying with great voice, saith, Father, into thy hands I betake my spirit. And he saying these things, sent out the spirit, or died.]
47 And the centurion seeing that thing that was done, glorified God, and said [saying], Verily, this man was just.
48 And all the people of them that were there together at this spectacle, and saw those things that were done, smote their breasts, and turned again.
49 But all his known stood afar, and women that followed him from Galilee, seeing these things.
50 And lo! a man, Joseph by name, of Arimathaea, a city of Judaea, that was a decurion, a good man and a just, [And lo! a man, Joseph by name, that was a decurion, or having ten under him, a good man and just,]
51 this man consented not to the counsel and to the deeds of them; and he abode the kingdom of God. [this man consented not to the counsel and deeds of them, of Arimathaea, city of Judaea; the which and he abode the kingdom of God.]
52 This Joseph came to Pilate, and asked the body of Jesus,
53 and took it down, and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, and laid him in a grave hewn, in which not yet any man had been laid [in which not yet any man was put].
54 And the day was the even of the holiday, and the sabbath began to shine.[j]
55 And the women following, that came with him from Galilee, saw the grave, and how his body was laid.
56 And they turned again, and made ready sweet smelling spices, and ointments; but in the sabbath they rested, after the commandment.
24 But in one day of the week full early they came to the grave, and brought sweet smelling spices, that they had arrayed [bringing sweet spices, which they had made ready].
2 And they found the stone turned away from the grave.
3 And they went in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
4 And it was done, the while [while] they were astonished in thought of this thing, lo! two men stood beside them in shining cloak[k].
5 And when they dreaded, and bowed their semblance into the earth, they said to them, What seek ye him that liveth with dead men [What seek ye the living with the dead]?
6 He is not here, but is risen. Have ye mind, how he spake to you, when he was yet in Galilee,
7 and said [saying], For it behooveth man's Son to be betaken into the hands of sinful men, and to be crucified, and the third day to rise again.
8 And they bethought on his words.
9 And they went again from the grave, and told all these things to the eleven, and to all [the] others.
10 And there was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary of James, and other women that were with them, that said to the apostles these things [that said these things to the apostles].
11 And these words were seen to them as madness [And these words were seen before them as madness], and they believed not to them.
12 But Peter rose up, and ran to the grave; and he bowed down, and saw the linen clothes lying alone. And he went by himself, wondering on that that was done.[l]
13 And lo! twain of them went in that day into a castle [And lo! two of them went in that day to a castle], that was from Jerusalem the space of sixty furlongs, by name Emmaus.
14 And they spake together of all these things that had befallen.
15 And it was done, the while they talked, and sought by themselves, Jesus himself approached, and went with them. [And it was done, while they talked, and sought with themselves, and Jesus himself nighing, went with them.]
16 But their eyes were holden, that they knew him not.
17 And he said to them, What be these words, that ye speak together wandering, and ye be sorrowful?
18 And one, whose name was Cleopas, answered, and said [to him], Thou thyself art a pilgrim in Jerusalem[m], and hast thou not known, what things be done in it in these days?
19 To whom he said, What things? And they said to him, Of Jesus of Nazareth, that was a man prophet, mighty in work and word before God and all the people;
20 and how the high priests and our princes betook him into condemnation of death [and how the highest priests and our princes betook him into damnation of death], and crucified him.
21 But we hoped, that he should have again-bought Israel. And now on all these things the third day is to day, that these things were done.
22 But also some women of ours made us afeared, which before day were at the grave [which before the light were at the grave];
23 and when his body was not found, they came, and said, that they saw also a sight of angels [they came, saying, them also to have seen a sight of angels], which said, that he liveth.
24 And some [men] of ours went to the grave, and they found so as the women said, but they found not him [but him they found not].
25 And he said to them, A! fools [O! fools], and slow of heart to believe in all things that the prophets have spoken.
26 Whether it behooved not Christ to suffer these things, and so to enter into his glory?
27 And he began at Moses and at all the prophets, and declared to them in all scriptures, that were of him. [And he beginning at Moses and all the prophets, expounded to them in all scriptures, which were of him.]
28 And they came nigh to the castle, whither they went. And he made countenance that he would go further.
29 And they constrained him, and said [saying], Dwell with us, for it draweth to night, and the day is now bowed down. And he entered [in] with them.
30 And it was done, while he sat at the meat with them, he took bread, and blessed, and brake, and took to them [and gave to them].
31 And the eyes of them were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished from their eyes.
32 And they said together, Whether our heart was not burning in us, while he spake to us in the way, and [he] opened to us [the] scriptures?
33 And they rose up in the same hour, and went again into Jerusalem [to Jerusalem], and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,
34 saying, That the Lord is risen verily, and appeared to Simon.
35 And they told what things were done in the way, and how they knew him in breaking of bread.
36 And while they spake these things, Jesus stood in the middle of them, and said to them, Peace to you; I am, do not ye dread.
37 But they were afraid and aghast, and guessed them to see a spirit.
38 And he said to them, What be ye troubled, and thoughts come up into your hearts [and thoughts ascend up into your hearts]?
39 See ye my hands and my feet, for I myself am. Feel ye, and see ye; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see that I have [as ye see me to have].
40 And when he had said this thing, he showed hands and feet to them.
41 And yet while they believed not, and wondered for joy, he said, Have ye here any thing that shall be eaten [Have ye any thing here that shall be eaten]?
42 And they proffered to him [And they offered to him] a part of a fish roasted, and an honeycomb.
43 And when he had eaten before them, he took that that (was) left, and gave to them; [And when he had eaten before them, he taking the reliefs, gave to them;]
44 and [he] said to them, These be the words that I spake to you [and he said to them, These be the words which I spake to you], when I was yet with you; for it is need that all things be fulfilled, that be written in the law of Moses [which be written in the law of Moses], and in prophets, and in psalms, of me.
45 Then he opened to them wit [Then he opened wit to them], that they should understand [the] scriptures.
46 And he said to them, For thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and rise again from death the third day [and to rise again from dead the third day];
47 and penance and remission of sins to be preached in his name to all folks, beginning at Jerusalem.
48 And ye be witnesses of these things.
49 And I shall send the promise of my Father into you [And I send the promise of my Father into you]; but sit ye in the city, till ye be clothed with virtue from on high.
50 And he led them forth into Bethany, and when his hands were lifted up [and, his hands lifted up], he blessed them.
51 And it was done, the while he blessed them [while he blessed them], he departed from them, and was borne into heaven.
52 And they worshipped, and went again into Jerusalem with great joy, [And they worshipping went again to Jerusalem with great joy;]
53 and were evermore in the temple [and were ever in the temple], praising and blessing God.
1 In the beginning was the word, and the word was at God, and God was the word. [In the beginning was the word, that is, God's Son, and the word was at God, and God was the word.]
2 This was in the beginning at God.
3 All things were made by him, and without him was made nothing [nought], that thing that was made.
4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men;
5 and the light shineth in darknesses, and [the] darknesses comprehended not it.
6 A man was sent from God, to whom the name was John.
7 This man came into witnessing, that he should bear witnessing of the light, that all men should believe by him.
8 He was not that light, but that he should bear witnessing of the light.
9 There was a very light, which lighteneth each man that cometh into this world [that lighteth each man coming into this world].
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11 He came into his own things, and his received him not.
12 But how many ever received him, he gave to them power to be made the sons of God, to them that believe in his name;
13 the which not of bloods [which not of bloods], neither of the will of flesh, neither of the will of man, but be born of God.
14 And the word was made man, and dwelled among us, and we have seen the glory of him, as the glory of the one begotten Son of the Father, full of grace and of truth. [And the word, that is, God's Son, is made flesh, or man, and hath dwelled in us, and we have seen the glory of him, the glory as of the one begotten of the Father, the Son full of grace and truth.]
15 John beareth witnessing of him, and crieth, and saith, This is he of whom I said, He that shall come after me, is made before me [saying, This it was, whom I said, He that cometh after me, is made before me], for he was before me;
16 and of the plenty of him we all have taken, and grace for grace.
17 For the law was given by Moses; but grace and truth is made by Jesus Christ.
18 No man saw ever God [No man ever saw God], but the one begotten Son, that is in the bosom of the Father, he hath told out.
19 And this is the witnessing of John, when Jews sent from Jerusalem priests and deacons to him, that they should ask him, Who art thou?
20 [And] He acknowledged, and denied not, and he acknowledged, For I am not Christ.
21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he said, I am not. Art thou a prophet [Art thou the prophet]? And he answered, Nay.
22 Therefore they said to him, Who art thou? That we give an answer to these that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
23 He said, I am a voice of a crier in desert [I am a voice of a man crying in desert], Dress ye the way of the Lord, as Esaias, the prophet, said.
24 And they that were sent, were of the Pharisees.
25 And they asked him, and said to him, What then baptizest thou, if thou art not Christ, neither Elias, neither a prophet?
26 John answered to them, and said [saying], I baptize in water, but in the middle of you hath stand one, that ye know not [whom ye know not];
27 he it is, that shall come after me [he it is, that is to coming after me], that was made before me, of whom I am not worthy to loose the thong of his shoe.
28 These things were done in Bethany beyond Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29 Another day John saw Jesus coming to him, and he said, Lo! the lamb of God; lo! he that doeth away the sins of the world.[n]
30 This is he, that I said of, After me is come a man [This is he, of whom I said, After me cometh a man], which was made before me; for he was rather than I.
31 And I knew him not, but that he be showed in Israel, therefore I came baptizing in water.
32 And John bare witnessing, and said, I saw the Spirit coming down as a culver from heaven, and dwelled on him. [And John bare witnessing, saying, For I saw the Spirit coming down, as a culver from heaven, and dwelling upon him.]
33 And I knew him not; but he that sent me to baptize in water, said to me, On whom thou seest the Spirit coming down [Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit coming down], and dwelling on him, this is he, that baptizeth in the Holy Ghost.
34 And I saw, and bare witnessing, that this is the Son of God.
35 Another day John stood [Again John stood in another day], and two of his disciples;
36 and he beheld Jesus walking, and saith [and he beholding Jesus walking, saith], Lo! the lamb of God.
37 And two disciples heard him speaking, and [they] followed Jesus.
38 And Jesus turned, and saw them following him, and saith to them, What seek ye? And they said to him, Rabbi, that is to say [that is interpreted], Master, where dwellest thou?
39 And he saith to them, Come ye, and see. And they came, and saw where he dwelled [He saith to them, Come, and see ye. They came, and saw where he dwelt]; and dwelt with him that day. And it was as the tenth hour.
40 And Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the twain, that heard of John, and had followed him.
41 This found first his brother Simon, and he said to him, We have found Messias, that is to say, Christ; [This found first his brother Simon, and he saith to him, We have found Messias, that is interpreted Christ;]
42 and he led him to Jesus. And Jesus beheld him, and said, Thou art Simon, the son of Jona; thou shalt be called Cephas, that is to say [that is interpreted], Peter.
43 And on the morrow he would go out into Galilee, and he found Philip; and he saith to him [and Jesus saith to him], Follow thou me.
44 Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and of Peter [the city of Andrew and Peter].
45 Philip found Nathanael, and said to him [and he saith to him], We have found Jesus, the son of Joseph, of Nazareth, whom Moses wrote in the law and the prophets.
46 And Nathanael said to him, Of Nazareth may some good thing be? Philip said to him [Philip saith to him], Come, and see.
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said of him [and saith of him], Lo! verily a man of Israel, in whom is no guile.
48 Nathanael said to him [Nathanael saith to him], Whereof hast thou known me? Jesus answered, and said to him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou were under the fig tree, I saw thee.
49 Nathanael answered to him, and said [and saith], Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art king of Israel.
50 Jesus answered, and said to him, For I said to thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, thou believest; thou shalt see more than these things [thou shalt see more things than these].
51 And he said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, ye shall see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending up and coming down on man's Son [and the angels of God ascending up and coming down upon man's Son].
2 And the third day weddings were made in the Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there.
2 And Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the weddings.
3 And when wine failed, the mother of Jesus said to him, They have not wine.
4 And Jesus saith to her, What to me and to thee, woman? mine hour came not yet.
5 His mother saith to the ministers, Whatever thing he saith to you, do ye.
6 And there were set six stone cans, after the cleansing of the Jews, holding each two or three metretes. [Forsooth there were put six stone pots, after the cleansing of Jews, taking each two or three measures.]
7 And Jesus saith to them, Fill ye the pots with water. And they filled them, up to the mouth. [Jesus saith to them, Fill ye the pots with water. And they filled them unto the highest part.]
8 And Jesus said to them, Draw ye now, and bear ye to the master of the feast[o]. And they bare.
9 And when the master of the feast had tasted the water made wine, and knew not whereof it was, but the ministers knew that drew the water[p], the master of the feast calleth the spouse,
10 and saith to him, Each man setteth first good wine, and when men be filled, then that that is worse; but thou hast kept the good wine into this time. [and saith to him, Each man putteth first good wine, and when men shall be full-filled, then that that is worse; soothly thou hast kept good wine till now.]
11 Jesus did this the beginning of signs in the Cana of Galilee, and showed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.
12 After these things he came down to Capernaum, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples; and they dwelled there not many days [and they dwelt there not many days].
13 And the pask of Jews was nigh, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14 And he found in the temple men selling oxen, and sheep, and culvers, and [money-]changers sitting.
15 And when he had made as it were a scourge of small cords, he drove out all of the temple, and oxen, and sheep[q]; and he shedded [out] the money of changers, and turned upside-down the boards.
16 And he said to them that sold culvers, Take away from hence these things, and do not ye make the house of my Father an house of merchandise.
17 And his disciples had mind, for it was written, The fervent love of thine house hath eaten me [The zeal, or fervour of love, of thine house hath eaten me].
18 Therefore the Jews answered, and said to him, What token showest thou to us [What sign, or token, showest thou to us], that thou doest these things?
19 Jesus answered, and said to them, Undo ye this temple, and in three days I shall raise it.
20 Therefore the Jews said to him, In forty and six years this temple was builded, and shalt thou in three days raise it [In forty and six years this temple is built, and thou in three days shalt raise it]?
21 But he said of the temple of his body.
22 Therefore when he was risen from death, his disciples had mind, that he said these things of his body [Therefore when he had risen from dead men, his disciples had mind, for he said this thing]; and they believed to the scripture, and to the word that Jesus said.
23 And when Jesus was at Jerusalem in pask, in the feast day, many believed in his name, seeing his signs that he did [seeing the signs of him which he did].
24 But Jesus trusted not himself to them, for he knew all men;
25 and for it was not need to him, that any man should bear witnessing of man, for he knew, what was in man.
3 And there was a man of the Pharisees, Nicodemus by name, a prince of the Jews.
2 And he came to Jesus by night, and said to him, Rabbi, we know, that thou art come from God a master [Rabbi, we know, for of God thou hast come a master]; for no man may do these signs, that thou doest, but God be with him.
3 Jesus answered, and said to him, Truly, truly, I say to thee, but a man be born again, he may not see the kingdom of God.
4 Nicodemus said to him [Nicodemus saith to him], How may a man be born, when he is old? whether he may enter again into his mother's womb, and be born again?
5 Jesus answered, Truly, truly, I say to thee, but a man be born again of water, and of the Holy Ghost, he may not enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That that is born of the flesh, is flesh; and that that is born of the Spirit, is spirit.
7 Wonder thou not, for I said to thee, It behooveth you to be born again.
8 The Spirit breatheth where he will, and thou hearest his voice, but thou knowest not, from whence he cometh, nor whither he goeth; so is each man that is born of the Spirit.
9 Nicodemus answered, and said to him, How may these things be done [How be these things able to be done]?
10 Jesus answered, and said to him, Thou art a master in Israel, and knowest not these things? [Jesus answered, and said to him, Art thou a master in Israel, and knowest not these things?]
11 Truly, truly, I say to thee, for we speak that that we know, and we witness that that we have seen, and ye take not our witnessing.
12 If I have said to you earthly things, and ye believe not, how if I say to you heavenly things, shall ye believe?
13 And no man ascendeth [up] into heaven, but he that came down from heaven, man's Son that is in heaven. [And no man ascendeth into heaven, no but he that came down from heaven, the Son of man which is in heaven.]
14 And as Moses areared a serpent in desert [And as Moses reared up a serpent in desert], so it behooveth man's Son to be raised [up],
15 that each man that believeth in him, perish not, but have everlasting life.
16 For God loved so the world [Forsooth God so loved the world], that he gave his one begotten Son, that each man that believeth in him perish not, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world, that he judge the world, but that the world be saved by him.
18 He that believeth in him, is not deemed; but he that believeth not, is now deemed [He that believeth into him is not deemed, or condemned; forsooth he that believeth not, is now condemned], for he believeth not in the name of the one begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the doom, for light came into the world, and men loved more darknesses than light; for their works were evil.
20 For each man that doeth evil, hateth the light; and he cometh not to the light [and cometh not to the light], that his works be not reproved.
21 But he that doeth truth, cometh to the light, that his works be showed, that they be done in God.
22 After these things Jesus came, and his disciples, into the land of Judaea, and there he dwelled with them, and baptized [and baptized, or christened].
23 And John was baptizing in Aenon, beside Salim, for many waters were there; and they came, and were baptized.
24 And John was not yet sent into prison.
25 Therefore a question was made of John's disciples with the Jews, of the purification [of the purification, or cleansing].
26 And they came to John, and said to him, Master [Rabbi, or Master], he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou hast borne witnessing, lo! he baptizeth, and all men come to him.
27 John answered, and said, A man may not take any thing, but it be given to him from heaven.
28 Ye yourselves bear witnessing to me, that I said, I am not Christ, but that I am sent before him.
29 He that hath a wife, is the husband[r]; but the friend of the spouse that standeth, and heareth him, joyeth with joy, for the voice of the spouse. Therefore in this thing my joy is fulfilled.
30 It behooveth him to wax, but me to be made less. [It behooveth him to wax, forsooth me to be diminished, or made less.]
31 He that came from above, is above all; he that is of the earth, speaketh of the earth; he that cometh from heaven, is above all.
32 And he witnesseth that thing that he hath seen, and heard [And this thing that he saw and heard, he witnesseth], and no man taketh his witnessing.
33 But he that taketh his witnessing, hath confirmed that God is soothfast. [Forsooth he that hath taken his witnessing, hath marked that God is soothfast.]
34 But he whom God hath sent, speaketh the words of God; for not to measure God giveth the Spirit.
35 The Father loveth the Son, and he hath given all things into his hand.
36 He that believeth in the Son, hath everlasting life; but he that is unbelieveful to the Son, shall not see everlasting life, but the wrath of God dwelleth on him.
4 Therefore as Jesus knew, that the Pharisees heard, that Jesus maketh and baptizeth more disciples than John,
2 though Jesus baptized not, but his disciples,
3 he left Judaea, and went again into Galilee.
4 And it behooved him to pass by Samaria.
5 Therefore Jesus came into a city of Samaria, that is called Sychar, beside the place [beside the manor, or field], that Jacob gave to Joseph, his son.
6 And the well of Jacob was there; and Jesus was weary of the journey, and sat thus upon the well [soothly Jesus made weary of the journey, sat thus on the well]. And the hour was, as it were the sixth.
7 And a woman came from Samaria, to draw water. And Jesus saith to her, Give me [to] drink.
8 And his disciples were gone into the city, to buy meat.
9 Therefore that woman of Samaria saith to him, How thou, that art a Jew, askest of me a drink, that am a woman of Samaria [which am a woman of Samaria]? for [the] Jews used not to deal with [the] Samaritans.
10 Jesus answered, and said to her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is, that saith to thee, Give me [to] drink, thou peradventure wouldest have asked of him, and he should have given to thee quick water.
11 The woman saith to him, Sire, thou hast not wherein to draw [Sire, neither thou hast in what thing thou shalt draw], and the pit is deep; whereof then hast thou quick water?
12 Whether thou art greater than our father Jacob, that gave to us the pit? and he drank thereof, and his sons, and his beasts.
13 Jesus answered, and said to her, Each man that drinketh of this water, shall thirst again;
14 but he that drinketh of the water that I shall give him, shall not thirst without end [shall not thirst into without end]; but the water that I shall give him, shall be made in him a well of water, springing up into everlasting life.
15 The woman saith to him, Sire, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.
16 Jesus saith to her, Go, call thine husband, and come hither.
17 The woman answered, and said, I have none husband [I have not an husband]. Jesus saith to her, Thou saidest well, That I have none husband [For I have not an husband];
18 for thou hast had five husbands, and he that thou hast, is not thine husband [and he whom thou hast now, is not thine husband]. This thing thou saidest soothly.
19 The woman saith to him, Lord, I see, that thou art a prophet.
20 Our fathers worshipped in this hill, and ye say, that at Jerusalem is a place, where it behooveth to worship.
21 Jesus saith to her, Woman, believe thou to me, for the hour shall come, when neither in this hill, neither in Jerusalem [nor in Jerusalem], ye shall worship the Father.
22 Ye worship that that ye know not; we worship that that we know; for health is of the Jews.
23 But the time is come [But the hour cometh], and now it is, when true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth; for also the Father seeketh such, that worship him.
24 God is a Spirit, and it behooveth them that worship him, to worship in spirit and truth.
25 The woman saith to him, I know that Messias is come, that is said Christ; therefore when he cometh [therefore when he shall come], he shall tell us all things.
26 Jesus saith to her, I am he, that speaketh with thee. [Jesus saith to her, I am, that speak with thee.]
27 And at once [And anon] his disciples came, and wondered, that he spake with the woman; nevertheless no man said to him, What seekest thou, or, What speakest thou with her?
28 Therefore the woman left her water pot, and went into the city, and said to the men [and saith to the men],
29 Come ye, and see a man, that said to me all things that I have done; whether he be Christ? [Come ye, and see a man, that said to me all things what ever I have done; whether he is Christ?]
30 And they went out of the city, and came to him.
31 In the mean while his disciples prayed him, and said, Master, eat. [In the mean while his disciples prayed him, saying, Rabbi, or Master, eat.]
32 But he said to them, I have meat to eat, that ye know not.
33 Therefore the disciples said together, Whether any man hath brought him meat to eat [Whether any man brought to him to eat]?
34 Jesus saith to them, My meat is, that I do the will of him that sent me, [and] that I perform the work of him.
35 Whether ye say not, that yet four months be, and ripe corn cometh? Lo! I say to you, lift up your eyes, and see ye the fields, for now they be white to reap.
36 And he that reapeth taketh hire, and gathereth fruit into everlasting life; that both he that soweth, and he that reapeth, have joy together.
37 In this thing is the word true, For one is that soweth, and another that reapeth.
38 I sent you to reap, that that ye have not travailed; other men have travailed, and ye have entered into their travails.
39 And of that city many [of the] Samaritans believed in him, for the word of the woman, that bare witnessing, That he said to me all things that I have done [For he said to me all things, whatever I did].
40 Therefore when Samaritans came to him, they prayed him to dwell there [they prayed him, that he should dwell there]; and he dwelt there two days.
41 And many more believed for his word,
42 and said to the woman, That now not for thy speech we believe; for we have heard, and we know, that this is verily the Saviour of the world.
43 And after two days he went out from thence [Forsooth after two days he went thence], and went into Galilee.
44 And he [Jesus] bare witnessing, that a prophet in his own country hath none honour. [Soothly he Jesus bare witnessing, for a prophet in his own country hath not honour, or worship.]
45 Therefore when he came into Galilee, men of Galilee received him, when they had seen all things that he had done in Jerusalem in the feast day; for also they had come to the feast day.
46 Therefore he came again into the Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a little king, whose son was sick at Capernaum. [Therefore he came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And some little king was, whose son was sick at Capernaum.]
47 When this had heard, that Jesus should come from Judaea into Galilee, he went to him, and prayed him, that he should come down, and heal his son; for he began to die.
48 Therefore Jesus said to him, But ye see tokens and great wonders, ye believe not.
49 The little king saith to him, Lord, come down, before that my son die.
50 Jesus saith to him, Go, thy son liveth. The man believed to the word, that Jesus said to him, and he went.
51 And now when he came down [Soothly now him coming down], the servants came to meet him, and told to him, and said [saying], That his son lived.
52 And he asked of them the hour, in which he was amended. And they said to him, For yesterday in the seventh hour the fever left him.
53 Therefore the father knew, that that hour it was, in which Jesus said to him, Thy son liveth; and he believed, and all his house.
54 Jesus did again this second token, when he came from Judaea into Galilee.
5 After these things there was a feast day of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2 And in Jerusalem is a washing place, that in Hebrew is called Bethesda, and hath five porches. [Forsooth at Jerusalem is a standing water of beasts, that in Hebrew is called Bethesda, having five little gates, or entries.]
3 In these lay a great multitude of sick men, blind, crooked, and dry, abiding the moving of the water.
4 For the angel of the Lord came down certain times into the [standing] water, and the water was moved; and he that first came down into the cistern, after the moving of the water, was made whole of whatever sickness he was held [was made whole of whatever sickness he was holden with].
5 And a man was there [Forsooth some man was there], having eight and thirty years in his sickness.
6 And when Jesus had seen him lying, and had known, that he had much time [and had known, for now he had much time], he saith to him, Wilt thou be made whole?
7 The sick man answered to him, Lord, I have no man, that when the water is moved [that when the water is troubled], to put me into the cistern; for while I come, another goeth down before me.
8 Jesus saith to him, Rise up, take thy bed, and go. [Jesus saith to him, Rise up, take thy bed, and wander.]
9 And at once the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and went forth [And anon the man is made whole, and took up his bed, and wandered]. And it was sabbath in that day.
10 Therefore the Jews said to him that was made whole, It is sabbath, it is not leaveful to thee, to take away thy bed.
11 He answered to them, He that made me whole, said to me, Take thy bed, and go [Take thy bed, and wander].
12 Therefore they asked him, What man is that, that said to thee, Take up thy bed, and go? [Therefore they asked him, Who is that man, that said to thee, Take thy bed and wander?]
13 But he that was made whole, wist not who it was. And Jesus bowed away from the people, that was set in the place [Forsooth Jesus bowed him from the company ordained, or set, in the place].
14 Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, Lo! thou art made whole; now do not thou do sin [now do not thou sin], lest any worse thing befall to thee.
15 That man went, and told to the Jews, that it was Jesus that made him whole.
16 Therefore the Jews pursued Jesus, for he did this thing in the sabbath.
17 And Jesus answered to them, My Father worketh till now, and I work.
18 Therefore the Jews sought more to slay him, for not only he brake the sabbath, but [and] he said that God was his Father, and made him(self) even to God [making him even to God].
19 Therefore Jesus answered, and said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son may not of himself do any thing, but that thing that he seeth the Father doing; for whatever things he doeth, the Son doeth in like manner those things [whatever things soothly he doeth, these things and the Son also doeth].
20 For the Father loveth the Son, and showeth to him all things that he doeth; and he shall show to him greater works than these, that ye wonder.
21 For as the Father raiseth dead men, and quickeneth, [and] so the Son quickeneth whom he will.
22 For neither the Father judgeth any man, but hath given every doom to the Son [but hath given all the doom to the Son],
23 that all men honour the Son, as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son, honoureth not the Father that sent him.
24 Truly, truly, I say to you, that he that heareth my word, and believeth in him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and he cometh not into doom, but passeth from death into life [hath everlasting life, and cometh not into doom, but passed from death into life].
25 Truly, truly, I say to you, for the hour cometh, and now it is, when dead men shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they that hear, shall live.
26 For as the Father hath life in himself, so he gave to the Son, to have life in himself;
27 and he gave to him power to make doom, for he is man's Son.
28 Do not ye wonder in this, for the hour cometh, in which all men that be in burials, shall hear the voice of God's Son.
29 And they that have done good things, shall go into again-rising of life; but they that have done evil things, into again-rising of doom. [And they that have done good things, shall come forth into rising again of life; forsooth they that have done evil things, into rising again of doom.]
30 I may nothing do of myself, but as I hear, I deem [I may not of myself do any thing, but as I hear, I judge], and my doom is just, for I seek not my will, but the will of the Father that sent me.
31 If I bear witnessing of myself, my witnessing is not true;
32 another is that beareth witnessing of me, and I know that his witnessing is true, that he beareth of me.
33 Ye sent to John, and he bare witnessing to [the] truth.
34 But I take not witnessing of man; but I say these things, that ye be safe.
35 He was a lantern burning and shining [He was a lantern burning and shining, or giving light]; but ye would glad, or joy, at an hour in his light.
36 But I have more witnessing than John, for the works that my Father gave to me to perform them [forsooth the works that my Father gave me that I perform them], those works that I do bear witnessing of me, that the Father sent me.
37 And the Father that sent me, he bare witnessing of me. Neither ye heard ever his voice, neither ye saw his likeness [neither saw his likeness, or form].
38 And ye have not his word dwelling in you; for ye believe not to him, whom he sent.
39 Seek ye the scriptures, in which ye guess [in which ye ween] to have everlasting life; and those it be, that bear witnessing of me.
40 And ye will not come to me, that ye have life.
41 I take not clearness of men;
42 but I have known you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
43 I came in the name of my Father, and ye took not me. If another [shall] come in his own name, ye shall receive him.
44 How be ye able to believe [How may ye believe], that receive glory each of (the) other, and ye seek not the glory that is of God alone?
45 Do not ye guess, that I am to accuse you with the Father; it is Moses that accuseth you, in whom ye hope.
46 For if ye believed to Moses, peradventure ye should believe also to me; for he wrote of me.
47 But if ye believe not to his letters, how shall ye believe to my words?
