among vs. The lawe was geuen by Moses but grace and truthe came by Iesus Christe No manne hathe sene god at any time I am the voyce of a criar in the wildernes make strayghte the waye of the lorde as sayde the prophete Esaias I baptise with water but one is come amonge you whome ye knowe not he it is that commeth after me which was before me whose shue lacheâ— I am not worthy to vnlose Beholde the lambe of god whiche taketh awaye the synnes of the worlde I sawe the sprete descende frome heauen lyke vnto a doue and abyde vpon hym and I knewe hym not But he that sent me to baptise inwater the same sayd vnto me vpon whoÌ„ thou shaltse the sprete descende and tary styll on hym the same is he whiche baptiseth with the holye ghoâ—le And I saw and bare recorde that this is the sonne of god Thou arte Simon the sonne of Ionas thou shalte be called Cephas whiche is by interpretation a stone Canne ther anye good thynge come out of Naâ—areth The .ii. Chapter ALl menne at the begynnynge set forth good wyne and when menne be dronke then that whiche is worsse But thou haste kepte backe the good wyne vntyll nowe Iesus went vp to Ierusalem and founde in the temple those that solde oxen and shepe and doues and changers of money And he made a scourge of small cordes and droue them all out of the temple with the shepe and oxen and powred out the changers money and ouerthrewe the tables and saide vnto them that solde doues haue these thinges hence make not my fathers house an house of marchandise Destroy this temple and in thre dayes I wyll rayse it vs againe Then sayde the Iewes .xlvi. yeares was this temple a bildinge and wylt thou teare it vp in thre dayes But he spake of the teÌ„ple of his body The .iii. Chapter VErely verely I saye vnto the excepte that a man be borne of water of the sprete he cannot enter the kingdom of god That which is borne of the fleshe is fleshe and that whyche is borne of the spryte is spryte The wynde bloweth where he lysteth and thou hearest his sounde but canst not tell whence he commeth and whether he goeth So is euery man that is borne of the sprete Verely verely I saye vnto the wespeake that we knowe and testify that we haue sene and ye receaue not our witnes Yf when I tell you eathly thinges ye beleue not Howe shulde ye beleue yf he shal tell you of heauenly thinges God so loued the worlde that he hath geuen his onely son that none that beleue in him shulde perishe but shulde haue euerlasting lyfe For god sent not his sonne into the worlde to condempne the world but that the worlde through him might be saued He that beleueth in him shall not be condempned But he that beleueth not is condempned already because he beleueth not in the name of the onely sonne of god And this is the condempnation that lyght is come into the worlde and the menne loued darrknes more then lyghte because their dedes weteruyll For euery man that euyll doeth hateth the lyghte nether commeth to lyghte leste his dedes shuld be reproued But he that dothe truth commeth to the light that his dedes might be knowe howe that they are wrought in god A man can receaue nothinge at all excepte it be geuen him from heauen He that is of the earth is of the earth and speaketh of the earthe He that commeth frome heauen is aboue all what he hathe sene and hearde that he testifieth but no man receaueth his testimonye Howbeit he that hath recaued his testimonye hathe sette to his seale that god is true For he whome god hathe sent speaketh the wordes of God for God geueth not the spryte by measure The father loueth the sonne and hathe geuen all thinges into his hande Be that beleueth on the sonne hathe euerlasting lyfe and he that beleueth not the sonne shall not see lyfe but the wrathe of god abydeth on him The .iiii. Chapter WHosoeuer drinketh of this water shal thurst againe But whosoeuer shall dryncke of the water that I shall geue him shall neuer be more a thyrste but the water that I shall geue him shal be in a well of water springynge vp into euerlaslynge lyfe Ye worshyppe ye wote not what we know what we worshyp For saluation coÌ„meth of the Iewes But the houre commeth and nowe is when the true worshyppers shall worshyppe the father in spryte and in trouthe For verely suche the father requyreth to worshyppe him God is a spryte and they that worshippe him muste worshyppe him in pryte and trouth Iesus saide vnto them my meate is to do the wyll of them that sent me to finishe his worcke And Iesus him selfe testifieth that a prophete hath none honoure in his owne countre The .v. Chapter BEhold thou art made whole synne no more lest a worsse thinge happen vnto the. The sonne can do nothing of him selfe but that hesyethe the father do For whosoeuer he doeth that doeth the sonne also Neither iudgeth the father any manne but had committed all iudgement vnto the sonne because that all menne shulde honoure the sonne euen as they honoure the father He that honoureth not the son the same honoureth not the father whiche hathe sent him Verely verely I saye vnto you he that heareth my wordes and beleueth on him that sent me hath euerlastyng lyfe and shall not come into damnation but is scaped frome deathe vnto lyfe As the father hath lyfe in him selfe so lykewise hathe he geuen to the sonne to haue lyfe in hym selfe and hath geuen him power to iudge in that he is the some of man Maruayle not at this the houre shall come in the whyche all that are in the graues shall heare hys voyce shall come forth they that haue done good vnto the resurrection of lyfe and they that haue done euyll vnto the resurrection of damnation I canne of myne owne selfe do nothynge at all Yf I beare wytnes of my selfe my witnes is not true The workes whiche the father hathe geuen me to fynyshe the same workes which I do beare witnes of me that the father sent me Howe can ye beleue whiche receyue honoure one of another and seke not the honoure that coÌ„meth of God onely The .vi. Chapter LAboure not for the meate that shall perishe but for the meate that endureth vnto euerlasting lyfe whiche meate the sonne of man shall geue vnto you The breade of God is he whiche commethe downe from heauen and geueth life vnto the worlde I am the breade of lyfe he that commeth to me shall not hunger and he that beleueth on me shall neuer thurste I am come downe from heauen not to do myne owne wyll but his will whiche hathe sente me And this is the fathers will whiche hath sente me that of all whiche he hath geuen me I should lose nothyng but shoulde rayse it vp agayne
