²⁷ My sonne heare no more the doctrine that leadeth thee vnto errours from the wordes of vnderstanding

²⁴ And he sayde vnto them, take heede what ye heare: With what measure ye meate, with the same shall it be measured to you agayne. And vnto you that heare, shall more be geuen

¹⁸ Take heede therfore, howe ye heare. For whosoeuer hath, to hym shalbe geuen: And whosoeuer hath not, from hym shalbe take, euen that same which he supposeth that he hath

¹¹ And he gaue some apostles, and some prophetes, and some euangelistes, and some shepheardes and teachers ¹² To the gatheryng together of the saintes, into the worke of ministration, into the edifiyng of the body of Christe ¹³ Tyll we all meete together into the vnitie of fayth, and knowledge of the sonne of God, vnto a perfect man, vnto the measure of the age of the fulnesse of Christe ¹⁴ That we hencefoorth be no more children, wauering and caryed about with euery wynde of doctrine, in the wylynesse of men, in craftynesse, to the laying wayte of deceyte ¹⁵ But folowyng trueth in loue, let vs growe vp into him in all thynges whiche is the head, Christ

⁶ As ye haue therfore receaued Christe Iesus the Lorde, [so] walke ye in hym ⁷ Rooted and built in hym, & stablished in the fayth, as ye haue ben taught, aboundyng therin with thankes geuing ⁸ Beware lest any man spoyle you through philosophie & vayne deceipt, after the tradition of men, and after the rudimentes of the worlde, and not after Christe ⁹ For in hym dwelleth all the fulnesse of the Godhead bodyly ¹⁰ And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principalitie and power

⁵ Hauyng a fourme of godlynesse, but denying the power therof: turne away from these ⁶ These are they, which enter into houses, & leade captiue [simple] women laden with sinne, caryed with diuers lustes ⁷ Euer learnyng, and neuer able to come vnto the knowledge of the trueth

³ For the tyme wyll come, when they shall not suffer wholsome doctrine: but after their owne lustes, shal they whose eares itche, get the an heape of teachers

¹ Wherefore lay asyde all maliciousnesse, and all guile, and faynednesse, and enuie, and all backbityng ² And as newe borne babes, desire ye ye milke of the worde, which is without deceipt: that ye may growe therby [vnto saluatio ³ If so be that ye haue tasted howe gratious the Lorde is

¹⁹ They went out from vs, but they were not of vs: For yf they had ben of vs, they woulde no doubt haue continued with vs: But that it myght appeare that they were not of vs

²¹ I haue not written vnto you, as though ye knewe not the trueth: but because ye knowe it, and that no lye is of the trueth

⁵ They are of the world, therfore speake they of the worlde, & the world heareth them ⁶ We are of God. He that knoweth God, heareth vs: he that is not of God, heareth vs not. Hereby knowe we the spirite of veritie, and the spirite of errour

² I knowe thy workes, and thy labour, and thy patience, and howe thou canst not forbeare them which are euyll: and hast examined them which say they are Apostles, and are not, and hast founde them lyers

⁵ They knowe nothyng, they vnderstande nothing: they walke on styll in darknesse, [wherfore] all the foundations of the earth be out of course

⁷ Our fathers did not well consider thy wonders in Egypt, neither did they remember thy manifolde great goodnes: but they rebelled at the sea, euen at the red sea

⁵ Wicked men vnderstande not iudgement: but they that seeke the Lord, vnderstande all thinges

⁹ And he sayd, Go and tell this people: Heare in deede, yet vnderstande not, ye shall playnely see, and yet perceaue not ¹⁰ Harden the heart of this people, stop their eares, and shut their eyes: lest they see with their eyes, heare with their eares, and vnderstande with their heartes, and conuert and be healed

¹¹ They are shamelesse dogges that be neuer satisfied: The sheepheardes also in like maner haue no vnderstandyng, but euery man turneth his owne way, euery one after his owne couetousnesse with all his power

¹⁰ Many shalbe purified, made white, and tryed: but the wicked shall do wickedly, and none of the wicked shal haue vnderstanding, but the wyse shall vnderstande

¹³ Therfore speake I to them in parables: because they seeyng, see not: and hearyng, they heare not: neither do they vnderstande ¹⁴ And in them is fulfylled the prophesie of Esaias, saying: by hearyng ye shall heare, and shall not vnderstande, and seeyng, ye shall see, & shall not perceaue

⁵¹ Iesus sayth vnto them: haue ye vnderstande all these thynges? They say vnto hym: yea Lorde

⁵² The Iewes therefore stroue among them selues, saying: Howe can this felowe geue vs that fleshe of his to eate

⁶⁰ Many therfore of his disciples, when they had hearde this, saide: This is an harde saying, who can abyde the hearyng of it

³⁶ What [maner of] saying is this that he sayde, ye shall seke me, and shall not fynde me: and where I am, thyther can ye not come

²⁷ Howebeit, they vnderstoode not that he spake to them of his father

⁴³ Why do ye not knowe my speache? euen because ye cannot heare my word

²⁵ These thynges haue I spoken vnto you by prouerbes. The tyme wyl come, when I shall no more speake vnto you by prouerbes: but I shall shewe you playnely of my father

¹⁴ But the naturall man perceaueth not the thynges of ye spirite of God, for they are foolyshenesse vnto hym: Neither can he knowe [them] because they are spiritually discerned

²⁰ We knowe that the sonne of God is come, & hath geuen vs a minde to know hym which is true: and we are in hym that is true, through his sonne Iesus Christe. This same is very God, and eternall lyfe

¹³ So we who be thy people and sheepe of thy pasture wyll confesse thee for euer: and we wyll alway set foorth in wordes thy prayse, from generation to generation

⁷ For he is our Lorde: and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheepe of his hande

³ (100:2) Be ye sure that God is the Lorde, it is he that hath made vs, and not we our selues: we are his people and the sheepe of his pasture

⁶ As for vs we are all gone astray lyke sheepe, euery one hath turned his owne way: but the Lord hath throwen vpon hym all our sinnes

³¹ And ye my sheepe, the sheepe of my pasture, are men: and I am your God, saith the Lorde God

⁴ What man of you, hauyng an hundred sheepe, if he loose one of them, doth not leaue ninetie and nine in the wildernesse, and go after that which is lost, vntyll he fynde it ⁵ And when he hath founde it, he layeth it on his shoulders with ioy ⁶ And assoone as he commeth home, he calleth together his louers and neyghbours, saying vnto them: Reioyce with me, for I haue founde my sheepe which was lost

¹ Veryly, veryly, I say vnto you: He that entreth not in by ye doore into the sheepfolde, but clymeth vp some other way, the same is a thiefe, and a robber

⁶ Iesus sayth vnto hym: I am the way, and the trueth, and the lyfe. No man cometh vnto the father, but by me

¹⁸ For through hym, we both haue an entraunce in one spirite vnto the father

¹⁹ Hauyng therefore brethren, libertie to enter into holy [places] in the blood of Iesus ²⁰ By the new and lyuing way, which he hath prepared for vs through the vayle, that is to say his flesshe ²¹ And [seyng we haue] an hye priest ouer the house of God ²² Let vs drawe nye with a true hearte, in assuraunce of fayth, sprinkeled in our heartes from an euyll conscience, and wasshed in body with pure water

¹ Wo vnto the shepheardes that destroy and scatter my flocke, saith the Lorde

²⁵ There is a conspiracie of her prophetes in the middest therof: as a roring lion rauenyng his pray, they deuour soules, they haue taken the riche and pretious thynges, they haue made her many widowes in the middest therof ²⁶ Her priestes haue broken my lawe, and defiled my holy thynges, they put no difference betweene the holy & vnholy, neither discerne they betweene the cleane & vncleane: they turne their eyes from my Sabbathes, and I am defiled among them ²⁷ Thy rulers in thee are lyke woolues rauenyng the pray, to shed blood, and destroy soules, for their owne couetous lucre ²⁸ As for her prophetes, they daube with vntempered morter, they see vanities, and diuine lyes vnto them, saying, The Lorde saith so: wheras the Lorde hath not spoken

² Thou sonne of man, prophecie against the shepheardes of Israel, prophecie and speake vnto them: thus saith the Lorde God vnto the shepheardes, Wo be vnto the shepheardes of Israel that feede them selues: should not the shepheards feede the flockes

³ Her rulers within her are as roaring lions, her iudges are as wolues in the euening, whiche leaue nothing behinde them till the morowe

⁴ Thus saith the Lorde my God: Feede the sheepe of the slaughter ⁵ Which haue ben slaine of those that possessed them, yet they [toke it] for no sinne, but they that solde them said, The Lorde be thanked, for I am riche: yea their owne shepheardes spare the not ⁶ Therefore wyl I no more spare those that dwell in the lande saith the Lorde: but lo, I wyll deliuer the people, euery man into his neighbours hande, and into the hande of his king, that they may smite the lande, and out of their handes I wyll not deliuer them ⁷ I my selfe fed the slaughter sheepe, a poore flocke veryly, and toke vnto me two staues: the one called Beautie, the other called Bandes: and so fedde the sheepe ⁸ Three shepheardes I put out of office in one moneth, for I might not away with them: neither had they any delight in me ⁹ Then saide I, I wyll feede you no more: the thing that dyeth, let it dye: and that that wyll perishe, let it perishe: and let the remnaunt eate euery one the fleshe of his neighbour

¹⁶ For lo, I wyll rayse vp a shepheard in the lande, which shal not seeke after the thinges that be lost, nor seeke the tender lambes, he shal not heale the wounded, he shal not nourish the thinges that are whole: but he shal eate the fleshe of such as be fat, and teare their clawes in peeces

⁵ A straunger wyll they not folowe, but wyll flee from hym: for they knowe not the voyce of straungers

²⁷ My sheepe heare my voyce, and I knowe them, and they folowe me

³⁶ For before these dayes rose vp one Theudas, boastyng him selfe, to whom resorted a number of men, about a foure hundred, which was slayne: and they all which beleued hym, were scattered abrode, and brought to naught

¹ (23:1a) God is my sheephearde, therfore I can lacke nothyng 2 (23:1b) he wyll cause me to repose my selfe in pasture full of grasse, and he wyll leade me vnto calme waters ³ (23:2) He wyll conuert my soule: he wyll bring me foorth into the pathes of righteousnesse for his name sake ⁴ (23:3) Yea though I walke through the valley of the shadowe of death, I wyll feare no euyll: for thou art with me, thy rodde and thy staffe be the thynges that do comfort me ⁵ (23:4) Thou wylt prepare a table before me in the presence of myne aduersaries: thou hast annoynted my head with oyle, and my cup shalbe brymme full ⁶ (23:5) Truely felicitie and mercie shal folowe me all the dayes of my lyfe: and I wyll dwell in the house of God for a long tyme

¹ Heare O thou shephearde of Israel, thou that leadest Ioseph lyke a sheepe: and thou that sittest vpon the Cherubims, shew thy gratious presence ² Before Ephraim, Beniamin, and Manasses: stirre vp thy strength, and come for to saue vs ³ Turne vs agayne O Lorde: shewe the light of thy countenaunce, and we shalbe saued

³ (100:2) Be ye sure that God is the Lorde, it is he that hath made vs, and not we our selues: we are his people and the sheepe of his pasture ⁴ (100:3) Go your way into his gates with thankesgeuyng, and into his courtes with prayse: be thankfull vnto hym [and] blesse his name

¹² I wil comfort them in ye lord, that they may walke in his name, saith the Lord

¹ Therefore being iustified by fayth, we are at peace with god, thorowe our Lorde Iesus Christe ² By whom also we haue had an entrauce by fayth, vnto this grace wherin we stande, and reioyce in hope of the glorie of God

² Thou sonne of man, prophecie against the shepheardes of Israel, prophecie and speake vnto them: thus saith the Lorde God vnto the shepheardes, Wo be vnto the shepheardes of Israel that feede them selues: should not the shepheards feede the flockes ³ Ye eate vp the fat, ye clothe you with the wooll, the best fed do ye slay: but the flocke do ye not feede ⁴ The weake haue ye not strengthened, the sicke haue ye not healed, the broken haue ye not bounde together, the dryuen away haue ye not brought againe, the lost haue ye not sought: but with force and crueltie haue ye ruled them

¹ When I vndertoke to make Israel whole, then the vngraciousnesse of Ephraim, and the wickednes of Samaria came to light, for thei go about with lyes, therfore the theefe robbeth within, and the spoyler destroyeth without

¹⁰ Take heede that ye despise not one of these litle ones: For I say vnto you, that in heaue their Angels do alwayes beholde the face of my father, which is in heauen

²⁸ Euen as the sonne of man came, not to be ministred vnto, but to minister, and to geue his lyfe a raunsome for many

¹³ And sayde vnto them, it is written: My house shalbe called the house of prayer, but ye haue made it a denne of thieues

¹³ Wo vnto you Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites: for ye shut vp the kingdome of heauen before men: ye neither go in your selues, neither suffer ye them that come, to enter in

¹⁷ And he taught, saying vnto them: Is it not written, My house shalbe called the house of prayer vnto all nations? But ye haue made it a denne of thieues

¹⁰ For the sonne of man is come to seke, and to saue that which was lost

¹⁷ For God sent not his sonne into the worlde, to condempne the worlde: but that the worlde through hym myght be saued. He that beleueth on hym, is not condempned

³³ For the bread of God, is he which cometh downe from heauen, and geueth lyfe vnto the worlde

⁵¹ I am that lyuyng bread, which came downe from heauen. Yf any man eate of this bread, he shall lyue for euer. And the bread that I wyl geue, is my fleshe, whiche I wyll geue for the lyfe of the worlde

⁶ This he sayde, not that he cared for the poore: but because he was a thiefe, and had the bagge, and bare that which was geuen

⁴⁷ And yf any man heare my wordes, and beleue not, I iudge hym not: For I came not to iudge the worlde, but to saue the worlde

²¹ Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest not thy selfe? Thou preachest a man shoulde not steale, yet thou stealest

¹³ For vnto the lawe, was sinne in the worlde: but sinne is not imputed when there is no lawe ¹⁴ Neuerthelesse, death raigned from Adam to Moyses, ouer them also that had not sinned with lyke transgression as dyd Adam, whiche is the figure of hym that was to come ¹⁵ But not as the sinne, so is the gyft. For yf through the sinne of one many be dead: much more the grace of God, and the gyft by grace, which is by one man Iesus Christe, hath abounded vnto many ¹⁶ And not as by one that sinned [euen so] the gyft. For the iudgement was of one into condemnation: but the gyfte, of many sinnes into iustification ¹⁷ For yf by the sinne of one, death raigned by the meanes of one: much more they, whiche receaue aboundaunce of grace, and of the gyfte of ryghteousnes, shall raigne in life by the meanes of one, Iesus Christe ¹⁸ Lykewyse then, as by the sinne of one [sinne came] on all men to condempnation: euen so, by the ryghteousnes of one [good came] vpon all men to the ryghteousnes of lyfe ¹⁹ For as by one mans disobedience many became sinners: so by the obedience of one, shall many be made ryghteous ²⁰ But the lawe in the meane tyme entred in, that sinne shoulde encrease. But where sinne was plenteous, grace was more plenteous ²¹ That as sinne hath raigned vnto death: euen so myght grace raigne thorowe ryghteousnes vnto eternall lyfe, by Iesus Christe our Lorde

¹⁵ This is a faythfull saying, and by all meanes worthy to be receaued, that Christe Iesus came into the worlde to saue synners, of whom I am chiefe

¹⁷ Wherein God wyllyng very aboundauntly to shewe vnto the heires of promise, the stablenesse of his counsayle, confirmed by an oth

²⁵ Wherefore he is able also euer to saue them to the vttermost that come vnto God by hym, seyng he euer lyueth to make intercession for them

¹¹ Yea, and by this meanes an entryng in shalbe ministred vnto you aboudantlye, into the euerlastyng kyngdome of our Lorde and sauiour Iesus Christe

¹ There were false prophetes also among the people, eue as there shalbe false teachers among you, whiche pryuyly shal bryng in damnable heresies, euen denying the Lorde that hath bought them, and bryng vpo them selues swyft damnation ² And many shall folowe their damnable wayes, by whom the way of trueth shalbe euyll spoken of ³ And through couetousnesse, shall they with fayned wordes make marchaudize of you, whose iudgement is nowe not farre of, and their damnation sleepeth not

³⁹ Whatsoeuer was torne [of beastes] I brought it not vnto thee, but made it good my selfe: of my hande diddest thou require it that was stolen by day or nyght ⁴⁰ I was in suche case, that by day the heate consumed me, and the frost by nyght, and my slepe departed from mine eyes

³⁴ Dauid aunswered vnto Saul: Thy seruaunt kept his fathers sheepe, & ther came a lion and likewise a beare, and toke a sheepe, out of the flocke ³⁵ And I went out after him, and smote him, and toke it out of his mouth: And whe he arose against me, I caught him by the bearde, and smote him, and slue him

¹⁷ And Dauid spake vnto the Lorde, when he saw the angell that smote the people, and saide: Lo, it is I that haue sinned, and that haue done wickedlie: But these sheepe, what haue they done? Let thyne hand I pray thee be against me, and against my fathers house

²⁴ Dauid my seruaunt shalbe their king, and they all shall haue one sheepheard only: they shall walke in my iudgementes, and my commaundementes shall they kepe, and fulfill them

⁴ He shall stande faste, and geue foode in the strength of the Lorde, and in the maiestie of the name of the Lorde his God: and when they be conuerted, he shalbe magnified vnto the farthest partes of the worlde

¹⁴ I am the good sheepheard, & knowe my sheepe, and am knowen of myne ¹⁵ As the father knoweth me, euen so, knowe I also the father: And I geue my lyfe for the sheepe

¹⁷ Therfore doth my father loue me, because I put my lyfe [from me,] that I myght take it agayne ¹⁸ No man taketh it from me: but I put it away of my selfe. I haue power to put it from me, and I haue power to take it agayne. This commaundement haue I receaued of my father

¹³ Greater loue hath no man, then this: yt a man bestowe his life for his frendes

² And walke ye in loue, euen as Christe hath loued vs, and hath geuen hym selfe for vs an offering and a sacrifice of a sweete smellyng sauour to God

¹⁴ Which gaue hym selfe for vs, that he myght redeeme vs from all vnryghteousnesse, and pourge vs a peculier people vnto hym selfe, zelous of good workes

²⁴ Which his owne selfe bare our sinnes in his body on the tree, that we beyng deliuered from sinne, shoulde liue vnto ryghteousnes: By whose strypes ye were healed ²⁵ For ye were as sheepe goyng astray: but are nowe turned vnto the sheephearde and Byshop of your soules

¹⁶ Hereby perceaue we loue, because he layde downe his lyfe for vs, & we ought to lay downe our lyues for the brethren

² Thou sonne of man, prophecie against the shepheardes of Israel, prophecie and speake vnto them: thus saith the Lorde God vnto the shepheardes, Wo be vnto the shepheardes of Israel that feede them selues: should not the shepheards feede the flockes ³ Ye eate vp the fat, ye clothe you with the wooll, the best fed do ye slay: but the flocke do ye not feede ⁴ The weake haue ye not strengthened, the sicke haue ye not healed, the broken haue ye not bounde together, the dryuen away haue ye not brought againe, the lost haue ye not sought: but with force and crueltie haue ye ruled them ⁵ They are scattered without a shephearde, yea all the beastes of the fielde deuour them, and they go astray ⁶ My sheepe go wandring vpon al mountaines, and vpon euery hie hill, yea my flocke is scattered through all the face of the earth, and there is no man that seeketh or searcheth [after them.

¹⁶ Beholde, I sende you foorth, as sheepe in the middest of woolfes. Be ye therfore wyse as serpentes, and harmelesse as doues

³ To hym the porter openeth, and the sheepe heare his voyce, and he calleth his owne sheepe by name, and leadeth them out

²⁹ For I knowe this, that after my departyng, shall greeuous wolfes enter in among you, not sparyng the flocke

³ Not geuen to ouermuch wine, no striker, not greedy of fylthy lucre: but gentle, abhorryng fyghtyng, abhorryng couetousnesse

⁸ Likewise must ye ministers be graue, not double tongued, not geuen to much wine, neither greedy of fylthy lucre

¹⁰ For Demas hath forsaken me, hauing loued this present worlde, and is departed vnto Thessalonica, Crescens to Galatia, Titus vnto Dalmatia

⁷ For a bishop must be blamelesse, as the stewarde of God: not stubborne, not angry, not geuen to wyne, no striker, not geuen to filthie lucre

² Feede you God his flocke, whiche is committed vnto you, takyng the ouersight of them not as compelled therto, but wyllyngly, not for the desyre of fylthy lucre, but of a good mynde

¹⁷ Then all the Grekes toke Softenes the chiefe ruler of ye synagogue, & smote hym before the iudgement seate: And Gallio cared for none of those thinges

²⁰ For I haue no man lyke mynded, who wyll naturally care for your state

⁶ For God knoweth the way of the righteous: and the way of the vngodly shall perishe

¹¹ Of the trauayle and labour of his soule, shall he see the fruite & be satisfied: My righteous seruaunt shall with his knowledge iustifie the multitude, for he shall beare their sinnes

¹¹ I am the good sheephearde. A good sheephearde, geueth his lyfe for the sheepe

³ This is lyfe eternall, that they myght knowe thee, the only true God, & Iesus Christe whom thou hast sent

⁸ For I haue geuen vnto them ye wordes which thou gauest me, and they haue receaued them, and haue knowe surely that I came out from thee, & they haue beleued, that thou dyddest sende me

⁶ For it is God that commaundeth the lyght to shine out of darknesse, whiche hath shined in our heartes, for to geue the lyght of the knowledge of the glorie of God, in the face of Iesus Christe

¹⁷ That the God of our Lorde Iesus Christe, the father of glorie, may geue vnto you the spirite of wisdome and reuelation, in the knowledge of hym

¹⁹ And to knowe the loue of Christe, whiche excelleth knowledge, that ye might be fylled with all fulnesse of God

⁸ Yea, I thynke all thynges but losse, for the excellencie of the knowledge of Christe Iesus my Lorde: For whom I haue counted all thyng losse, & do iudge the but vile, that I may winne Christe

¹² For the which cause I also suffer these thynges. Neuerthelesse, I am not ashamed: For I knowe whom I haue beleued, and I am perswaded that he is able to kepe that which I haue committed to hym, agaynst that day

⁹ I knowe thy workes, and tribulation, and pouertie: but thou art riche. And I know the blasphemie of them which cal them selues Iewes, and are not, but (are) the synagogue of Satan

¹³ I knowe thy workes, and where thou dwellest, euen where Satans seate is, and thou kepest my name, and hast not denyed my fayth: Euen in those dayes when Antipas my faythfull martir was slayne among you, where Satan dwelleth

¹⁹ I knowe thy workes, and thy loue, seruice, and fayth, and thy patience, and thy deedes, which are mo at the last the at the first

¹ And write vnto the Angel of the Churche that is at Sardis, this sayth he that hath the seuen spirites of God, and the seuen starres. I knowe thy workes: thou hast a name that thou lyuest, and thou art dead

⁸ I knowe thy workes: Beholde, I haue set before thee an open doore, and no man can shut it, for thou hast a litle strength, & hast kept my sayinges: and hast not denyed my name

¹⁵ I knowe thy workes, that thou arte neither colde nor hotte: I woulde thou were colde or hotte

⁴ Howbeit, he only hath taken on him our infirmitie, and borne our paynes: Yet we dyd iudge hym as though he were plagued, and cast downe of God ⁵ Wheras he [notwithstandyng] was wounded for our offences, and smitten for our wickednesse: for the payne of our punishment was layde vpon hym, and with his stripes are we healed ⁶ As for vs we are all gone astray lyke sheepe, euery one hath turned his owne way: but the Lord hath throwen vpon hym all our sinnes

⁸ From the prison and iudgement was he taken, and his generation who can declare? for he was cut of from the grounde of the lyuyng, which punishment dyd go vpon hym for the transgression of my people

¹⁰ Yet hath it pleased the Lord to smite hym with infirmitie, that when he had made his soule an offeryng for sinne, he might see long lastyng seede: and this deuice of the Lorde shall prosper in his hande

²⁶ After these threescore & two weekes shall Messiah be slaine, & not for him selfe: and the people of the prince that shal come, shall destroy the citie and the sanctuarie, and the ende thereof shalbe with a fludde, and vnto the ende of the battel it shalbe destroyed by desolatios

²⁷ All thinges are geuen vnto me of my father: And no man knoweth the sonne but the father, neither knoweth any man the father saue the sonne, and he to whomsoeuer the sonne wyll open him

²¹ That same houre reioyced Iesus in the spirite, and sayde: I confesse vnto thee father, Lorde of heauen & earth, that thou hast hyd these thynges from the wise and prudent, and hast opened them vnto babes: Euen so father, for so it pleased thee

¹⁸ No man hath seene God at any tyme: The onely begotten sonne which is in the bosome of the father, he hath declared hym

⁴⁶ Not that any man hath seene the father, saue he which is of God, the same hath seene the father

⁵⁵ And yet ye haue not knowen him, but I knowe hym: And if I say I knowe hym not, I shalbe a lyer lyke vnto you. But I knowe hym, & kepe his saying

²⁵ O ryghteous father, the worlde [also] hath not knowen thee: But I haue knowen thee, and these haue knowen that thou hast sent me

⁴ Which gaue hym selfe for our sinnes, to deliuer vs from this present euyll worlde, accordyng to the wyll of God, and our father

¹³ Christe hath redeemed vs from the curse of the lawe, beyng made a curse for vs. For it is written: Cursed is euery one that hangeth on tree

⁵ For [there is] one God, and one mediatour of God and men, the man Christe Iesus ⁶ Who gaue him selfe a raunsome for all, a testimonie in due tymes

²⁴ Which his owne selfe bare our sinnes in his body on the tree, that we beyng deliuered from sinne, shoulde liue vnto ryghteousnes: By whose strypes ye were healed

¹⁸ Forasmuch as Christe hath once suffered for sinnes, the iust for the vniust to bryng vs to God, and was kylled as parteynyng to the fleshe, but was quickened in the spirite

² And he is ye attonement for our sinnes: not for our sinnes only, but also for the sinnes of all the worlde

² And I sawe a strong angell, whiche preached with a loude voyce: Who is worthy to open the booke, and to loose the seales therof ³ And no man in heauen, nor in earth, neither vnder the earth, was able to open the booke, neither to loke theron ⁴ And I wept muche, because no man was founde worthy to open & to reade the booke, neither to loke theron ⁵ And one of the elders sayde vnto me, wepe not: behold a Lion of the tribe of Iuda, the roote of Dauid, hath obteyned to open the booke, and to loose the seuen seales therof ⁶ And I behelde, and loe in the middes of the throne and of the foure beastes, and in the middes of the elders, stoode a lambe as though he had ben kylled, hauyng seuen hornes & seuen eyes, whiche are the seuen spirites of God, sent into all the worlde ⁷ And he came, and toke the booke out of the right hande of him that sate vpon the throne ⁸ And when he had taken the booke, the foure beastes and 24 elders fell downe before the lambe, hauyng euery one of them harpes, and golden vyals full of odours, which are the prayers of saintes ⁹ And they song a newe song, saying: Thou art worthy to take the booke and to open the seales therof: for thou wast kylled, and hast redeemed vs to God by thy blood, out of al kinrede, and tongue, and people, and nation

¹⁰ The scepter shal not depart from Iuda, and a law geuer from betweene his feete, vntyll Silo come: And vnto hym shall the gatheryng of the people be

²⁶ (22:25) The poore shall eate, and be satisfied: they that seeke after God shall prayse hym, your heart shall lyue for euer ²⁷ (22:26) All the endes of the worlde shall remember them selues and be turned vnto God: and all the kinredes of the nations shall worshyp before thy face ²⁸ (22:27) For the kingdome is Gods: and he is the gouernour ouer the nations ²⁹ (22:28) All such as be fat vpon the earth shall eate and worshyp: all they that go downe [in] to the dust shall knele before hym, although he preserued not his owne lyfe ³⁰ (22:29) The posteritie shall serue hym: they shalbe counted vnto the Lorde for a generation ³¹ (22:30) They wyll come and declare his righteousnesse vnto a people that shalbe borne: for he hath done it

¹⁷ His name shall endure for euer, his name shalbe spread abrode to the world so long as the sunne shall shyne: all nations shalbe blessed in hym, and shall call hym blessed ¹⁸ Blessed be God the Lorde: the Lorde of Israel which only doth wonderous thynges ¹⁹ (72:19a) And blessed be the name of his maiestie for euer: and all the earth shalbe fylled with his maiestie. Amen, Amen

⁹ All nations whom thou hast made, shall come and worship thee O Lorde: and shall glorifie thy name

² (98:3) God hath declared his saluation: he hath openly shewed his iustice in the syght of the heathen ³ (98:4) He hath remembred his mercie and trueth towarde the house of Israel: and all the endes of the worlde haue seene the saluation of our Lorde

¹⁰ And in that day shall the gentiles enquire after the roote of Iesse, whiche shalbe set vp for a token vnto the people, and his rest shalbe glorious

¹³ For in the middes of the lande, euen among the people, it shall come to passe as at the shaking of oliues, and as the grapes are when the wine haruest is done ¹⁴ They shall lift vp their voyce, and make a merie noyse: and in magnifiyng of the Lorde shall they crye out of the west ¹⁵ Wherefore prayse ye the Lorde in the valleys, euen the name of the Lorde God of Israel in the Iles of the sea ¹⁶ From the vttermost part of the earth haue we hearde prayses and myrth, because of the righteous: And I sayde, I knowe a thing in secrete, I knowe a thing in secrete, wo is me: the transgressours haue offended, the transgressours haue greeuously offended

¹⁰ Sing vnto the Lorde a newe song of thankesgeuing, blowe out his prayse from the ende of the worlde: they that be vpon the sea, and all that is therein prayse hym, the Isles and they that dwell in them ¹¹ Let the wildernesse with the cities lift vp her voyce, the townes also that they of Cedar dwell in: let them be glad that sit vpon rockes of stone, and let them crye downe from the high mountaines ¹² Ascribing glory vnto the Lorde, and magnifiyng hym among the gentiles

⁶ I wyll say to the north, let go, and to the south kepe not backe: but bring me my sonnes from farre, and my daughters from the endes of the worlde

⁶ And he sayde: It is but a small thyng that thou art my seruaunt to set vp the kinredes of Iacob, and to restore the destruction of Israel: For I haue made thee the lyght of the gentiles, that thou mayest be my health vnto the ende of the worlde

¹⁰ The Lorde hath made bare his holy arme, and shewed it foorth in the syght of all the gentiles, and all the endes of the earth hath seene the sauyng health of our God

⁸ Thus saith the Lorde God which gathereth together the scattered of Israel: I wyll bryng yet an other congregation to hym

²² Yea I wil make one people of them in the land vpon the mountaynes of Israel, and one king shalbe king to them al: they shall no more be two peoples, neither be deuided from hencefoorth into two kingdomes

¹⁰ Yet the number of the chyldren of Israel shalbe as the sand of the sea, which can neither be measured nor tolde: and in the place where it was sayde vnto them, Ye are not my people: it shall be saide vnto them, Ye are the chyldren of the liuing God

¹¹ At the same time there shal many heathen cleaue to the lord, & shalbe my people: Thus wyll I dwell in the middest of thee, and thou shalt knowe that the lorde of hoastes hath sent me vnto thee

²⁰ Thus saith the lord of hoastes: There shal yet come people, and the inhabiters of many cities ²¹ And they that dwell in one citie shall go to another saying, Up, let vs go and pray before the Lorde, let vs seeke the Lorde of hoastes: I wyll go with you ²² Yea much people and mightie nations shal come to seeke the lorde of hoastes at Hierusalem, & to pray before the Lorde ²³ Thus saith the Lorde of hoastes: In that time shall ten men (out of al maner of language of the Gentiles) take one Iewe by the hemme of his garment, and say, We wyll go with you: for we haue heard that God is among you

⁵ Whyle he yet spake, beholde, a bryght cloude shadowed them: And beholde, [there came] a voyce out of the cloude, which sayde, this is my beloued sonne in whom I am well pleased, heare hym

² But he that entreth in by the doore, is the sheephearde of the sheepe

⁵² And not for the people only: but that he shoulde gather together in one, the chyldren of God, that were scattered abrode

¹⁴ Simeon tolde, howe God at the begynnyng dyd visite, to receaue of the gentiles, a people in his name

¹⁰ For I am with thee, and no man shal inuade thee to hurt thee. For I haue much people in this citie

¹⁴ And he said: The God of our fathers hath ordeyned thee before, that thou shouldest knowe his wyll, and see that iuste one, and shouldest heare the voyce of his mouth

²⁹ For those which he knewe before, he also dyd predestinate, that they shoulde be lyke fashioned vnto the shape of his sonne, that he myght be ye first begotten among many brethren ³⁰ Moreouer, whom he dyd predestinate, the also he called. And whom he called, them also he iustified: And whom he iustified, them he also glorified

²³ To declare the riches of his glory, on the vessels of mercy, which he had prepared vnto glory ²⁴ Whom also he called, not of ye Iewes only, but also of the Gentiles

⁹ And that the gentiles myght prayse God for his mercie, as it is written: For this cause I wyll praise thee among the gentiles, and syng vnto thy name ¹⁰ And againe he saith: Reioyce ye gentiles with his people ¹¹ And againe: praise the Lord al ye gentiles, & laude him al ye people together ¹² And againe Esaias saith: There shalbe the roote of Iesse, and he that shall rise to raigne ouer the gentiles, in hym shall the gentiles trust ¹³ The God of hope, fyll you with al ioy and peace in beleuyng, that ye may be riche in hope, through the power of the holy ghost

¹ And you that were dead in trespasses and sinnes ² In the which in time passed ye walked, according to the course of this worlde, after the gouernour that ruleth in the ayre, the spirite that nowe worketh in the chyldren of disobedience ³ Among whom we all had our conuersation also in tyme past in the lustes of our flesshe, fulfyllyng the wyll of the flesshe, and of the mynde, & were by nature the chyldren of wrath, euen as other ⁴ But God which is ryche in mercie, for his great loue wherwith he loued vs ⁵ Euen when we were dead by sinnes, hath quickned vs together with Christ, by grace are ye saued

¹³ But nowe in Christe Iesus, ye which sometyme were farre of, are made nye by the blood of Christe ¹⁴ For he is our peace, which hath made both one: and hath broken downe the wall that was a stoppe betwene vs ¹⁵ Taking away in his flesshe the hatred, [euen] the lawe of commaundementes, [conteyned] in ordinaunces, for to make of twayne one newe man in hym selfe, so makyng peace ¹⁶ And that he myght reconcile both vnto God in one body through [his] crosse, and slewe hatred thereby ¹⁷ And came and preached peace to you which were a farre of, and to them that were nye ¹⁸ For through hym, we both haue an entraunce in one spirite vnto the father

¹³ But we are bounde to geue thankes alway to God for you, brethren beloued of the Lorde, because that God hath fro the begynnyng chosen you to saluation in sanctifiyng of the spirite, & [in] fayth of the trueth

³ For we our selues also were some tyme foolyshe, disobedient, deceaued, seruyng diuers lustes & voluptuousnes, lyuyng in maliciousnesse and enuie, full of hate, hatyng one another ⁴ But after that the kyndenesse and loue of our sauiour God to manwarde appeared ⁵ Not of workes which [be] in ryghteousnesse wrought, but accordyng to his mercie, he saued vs by the fountayne of regeneration and renuyng of the holy ghost

¹⁰ Which in time past were not a people, but are nowe the people of God: which sometime had not obteyned mercy, but nowe haue obteyned mercy

¹ Behold this is my seruaunt vpon whom I leane, my elect in who my soule is pacified: I haue geuen my spirite vpon him, that he may shewe foorth iudgement among the gentiles

²¹ The Lorde is mercyfull vnto them for his righteousnesse sake, that his word might be magnified and praysed

⁷ He suffered violence, and was euyll intreated, and dyd not open his mouth: He shalbe led as a sheepe to be slayne, yet shall he be as styll as a lambe before the shearer, and not open his mouth ⁸ From the prison and iudgement was he taken, and his generation who can declare? for he was cut of from the grounde of the lyuyng, which punishment dyd go vpon hym for the transgression of my people ⁹ His graue was geuen hym with the condempned, and with the riche man at his death, wheras he did neuer violence nor vnright, neither hath there ben any disceiptfulnesse in his mouth

²⁵ And there arose a question betwene Iohns disciples and the Iewes, about purifiyng

¹⁵ As the father knoweth me, euen so, knowe I also the father: And I geue my lyfe for the sheepe

¹⁸ No man taketh it from me: but I put it away of my selfe. I haue power to put it from me, and I haue power to take it agayne. This commaundement haue I receaued of my father

⁹ As the father hath loued me, euen so haue I loued you: Continue ye in my loue ¹⁰ Yf ye kepe my commaundementes, ye shall abyde in my loue, euen as I haue kept my fathers commaundementes, and abyde in his loue

⁴ I haue glorified thee on the earth: I haue finished ye worke, which thou gauest me to do ⁵ And nowe glorifie thou me, O father, with thine owne selfe, with the glory which I had with thee yer the worlde was

²⁴ Father, I wyll that they which thou hast geuen me, be with me where I am, that they may see my glorie which thou hast geuen me. For thou louedst me, before the foundation of the world ²⁵ O ryghteous father, the worlde [also] hath not knowen thee: But I haue knowen thee, and these haue knowen that thou hast sent me ²⁶ And I haue declared vnto them thy name, and wyll declare it, that the loue wherewith thou hast loued me, may be in them, and I in them

⁹ But hym that [for a whyle] was made lesse then the Angels, we see [that it was] Iesus, who through the sufferyng of death, was crowned with glorie and honour, that he by the grace of God, shoulde taste of death for all

⁶ O God my Lord, great are thy wonderous workes which thou hast done: & none can count in order thy benefites towarde vs, yf I woulde declare them and speake of them, they shoulde be mo then I am able to expresse ⁷ Thou wouldest haue no sacrifice or offeryng, but thou hast opened myne eares: thou hast not required burnt offerynges and sacrifice for sinne ⁸ Then sayde I, lo I am come: in the booke of thy lawe it is written of me that I shoulde fulfyll thy wyll O my God, I am content to do it, yea thy lawe is within the middest of my brest

⁵³ Thynkest thou that I can not nowe pray to my father, and he shall geue me more then twelue legions of Angels ⁵⁴ But howe then shall the scriptures be fulfylled? For thus must it be ⁵⁵ In that same houre, sayde Iesus to the multitudes: Ye be come out, as it were vnto a thiefe, with swordes and staues, for to take me. I sate dayly with you, teachyng in the temple, and ye toke me not ⁵⁶ But all this is done, that the scriptures of the prophetes myght be fulfylled. Then all the disciples forsoke him, and fledde

¹⁹ Iesus aunswered, & sayde vnto them: Destroy this temple, & in three dayes I wyll reare it vp ²⁰ Then sayde the Iewes, fourtie and sixe yeres was this temple a buildyng, and wilt thou reare it vp in three dayes ²¹ But he spake of the temple of his body

³⁰ I can of mine owne selfe do nothing: As I heare I iudge, and my iudgemet is iuste, because I seke not myne owne wyll, but the wyll of the father whiche hath sent me

³⁸ For I came downe from heauen, not to do that I wyll: but that he wyll, which hath sent me

¹⁷ Therfore doth my father loue me, because I put my lyfe [from me,] that I myght take it agayne

³¹ But that the worlde may knowe that I loue the father: And as the father gaue me commaundement, euen so do I. Ryse, let vs go hence

¹⁰ Yf ye kepe my commaundementes, ye shall abyde in my loue, euen as I haue kept my fathers commaundementes, and abyde in his loue

⁵ They aunswered him: Iesus of Nazareth. Iesus sayth vnto them, I am he. Iudas also whiche betrayed hym, stoode with them ⁶ Assoone then as he sayde vnto them I am he, they went backewarde, & fell to the grounde

¹¹ Iesus aunswered: Thou couldest haue no power at all agaynst me, except it were geuen thee from aboue: Therfore he that deliuered me vnto thee, hath the more sinne

²⁴ Whom God hath raised vp, and loosed the sorowes of death, because it was vnpossible, that he shoulde be holden of it

³² This Iesus hath God raysed vp, wherof we all are witnesses

¹⁵ And kylled the Lorde of lyfe, whom God hath raysed from the dead: of the which we are witnesses

⁶ Who beyng in the fourme of God, thought it not robbery to be equall with God ⁷ But made hym selfe of no reputation, takyng on him the fourme of a seruaut, and made in the lykenesse of men, and founde in figure as a man ⁸ He humbled hym selfe, made obedient vnto death, euen the death of the crosse

¹⁴ Forasmuch then as the chyldren are partakers of flesshe and blood, he also hym selfe lykewyse toke part with the, that through death he myght expell hym that had lordship ouer death, that is the deuyll ¹⁵ And that he myght delyuer them, which through feare of death, were all their lyfe tyme in daunger of bondage

⁶ As he saith also in another place: thou art a priest for euer, after the order of Melchisedech ⁷ Which in the dayes of his fleshe, when he had offered vp prayers and supplications with strong crying and teares, vnto hym that was able to saue hym from death, and was hearde in that which he feared ⁸ Though he were the sonne, yet learned he obediece, by these thinges which he suffred ⁹ And being perfect, was made the aucthour of eternall saluation vnto al them that obey hym

⁶ In burnt sacrifices & sinne (offerynges) thou hast had no pleasure ⁷ Then sayde I, lo I come (In the begynnyng of the booke it is written of me) to do thy wyll O God ⁸ Aboue when he saith, that sacrifice, and offeryng, and burnt offeringes, and sinne [offerynges] thou wouldest not, neither haddest pleasure [therein] (which are offered by the lawe: ⁹ Then sayde he, lo I come, to do thy wyll, O God. He taketh away ye first to stablyshe the seconde ¹⁰ In ye which wyll we are made holy, euen by the offeryng of the body of Iesus Christe once for all

³⁴ Thinke not that I am come to sende peace into the earth. I came not to sende peace, but a sworde ³⁵ For I am come to set a man at varyaunce agaynst his father, & the daughter agaynst her mother, and the daughter in lawe agaynst her mother in lawe

⁵¹ Suppose ye that I am come to sende peace on earth? I tell you naye, but rather deuision ⁵² For fro hencefoorth there shalbe fyue in one house deuided, three against two, and two against three ⁵³ The father shalbe deuided against the sonne, and the sonne against the father: The mother agaynst the daughter, and the daughter agaynst the mother: The mother in lawe against her daughter in lawe, and the daughter in lawe against her mother in lawe

⁴⁰ Many of the people therfore, when they hearde this saying, sayde: Of a trueth this is the prophete ⁴¹ But other sayde, this is Christe: But some saide, shall Christe come out of Galilee ⁴² Sayth not the scripture, that Christe shall come of the seede of Dauid, and out of the towne of Bethlehem, where Dauid was ⁴³ So was there discention among the people, because of hym

¹⁶ Therfore sayde some of the pharisees, this man is not of God, because he kepeth not the Sabboth day. Other said: How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a stryfe among them

⁴ But the multitude of the citie was deuided: and part helde with the Iewes, and part with the Apostles

⁷ And when he had so sayde, there arose a debate betwene the pharisees and the saducees, & the multitude was deuided ⁸ For the saducees say, that there is no resurrection, neither Angel, nor spirite: But the pharisees confesse both ⁹ And there arose a great crye: and whe the scribes which were of the pharisees part arose, they stroue, saying, We fynde none euyll in this man: But yf a spirite or an Angel hath spoken to hym, let vs not striue agaynst God ¹⁰ And when there arose a great debate, the chiefe captayne, fearyng lest Paul shoulde haue ben pluckt asunder of the, comaunded the souldiers to go downe, and to take him from among them, and to bryng hym into the castle

³ For ye are carnal. Seing then, there is among you enuying, & stryfe, and sectes, are ye not carnall, and walke as men

¹⁸ For first of all, when ye come together in the Churche, I heare that there is dissention among you, and I partly beleue it

³⁴ But the Pharisees sayde: He casteth out deuils, through the prince of deuils

²⁵ It is enough for the disciple, that he be as his maister is: and that the seruaunt, be as his lorde is. If they haue called the lorde of the house Beelzebub: howe much more shall they call them of his householde so

²¹ And when they that belonged vnto hym, hearde of it, they went out to laye handes vpon hym: For they sayde, he is madde

²⁰ The people aunswered and sayde: Thou hast the deuyll, who goeth about to kyll thee

⁴⁶ The seruauntes aunswered: Neuer man spake as this man doeth ⁴⁷ Then aunswered them the pharisees: Are ye also deceaued ⁴⁸ Doth any of the rulers or of the pharisees beleue on hym ⁴⁹ But this [common] people which know not the lawe, are cursed ⁵⁰ Nicodemus sayth vnto the, he that came to Iesus by nyght, and was one of them ⁵¹ Doth our lawe iudge any man, before it heare hym, and knowe what he hath done ⁵² They aunswered, and saide vnto him: Art thou also of Galilee? Search & loke: For out of Galilee aryseth no prophete

⁴⁷ He that is of god, heareth gods wordes. Ye therfore heare the not, because ye are not of God ⁴⁸ Then aunswered the Iewes, & saide vnto hym: Say we not well that thou art a Samaritane, and hast the deuyl

⁵² Then sayde the Iewes vnto hym: Now know we that thou hast ye deuyll. Abraham is dead, & the prophetes: and thou sayest, yf a man kepe my saying, he shall neuer taste of death

²⁸ Then rayted they hym, and sayde, Be thou his disciple: We are Moyses disciples ²⁹ We are sure, that God spake vnto Moyses: As for this felowe, we knowe not from whence he is

¹⁴ And when Paul nowe was about to open his mouth, Gallio sayde vnto the Iewes: Yf it were a matter of wrong, or an euyll deede, O ye Iewes, reason woulde that I shoulde beare with you ¹⁵ But yf it be a question of wordes and names, or of your lawe, loke ye to it your selues: for I wyll be no iudge of such matters

¹⁹ But had certayne questions agaynst hym of their owne superstition, and of one Iesus which was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alyue ²⁰ And because I doubted of such maner of questions, I asked hym whether he woulde go to Hierusalem, and there be iudged of these matters

²⁴ And as he thus spake for hym selfe, Festus sayde with a loude voyce: Paul, thou art besyde thy selfe, much learnyng doth make thee mad

³⁰ And when he had thus spoken, the king rose vp, and the deputie, & Bernice, and they that sate with them ³¹ And when they were gone apart, they talked betwene the selues, saying: This man doth nothyng worthy of death, or of bondes ³² Then sayde Agrippa vnto Festus: This man myght haue ben let loose, yf he had not appealed vnto Caesar

¹¹ And the Lorde sayd vnto hym: who hath made mans mouth? or who maketh the dumbe, or deafe, the seyng, or the blynde? Haue not I the Lorde

¹⁹ Then said the enchaunters vnto Pharao: this is the finger of God. And Pharaos heart remayned obstinate, and he hearkened not vnto them, euen as the Lorde had sayde

⁹ He that hath planted the eare, shall he not heare? yf he shapeth the eye, shall he not see

⁸ God rayseth them vp that are falling: God loueth the ryghteous

¹² The eare to heare, the eye to see: the Lorde hath made them both

⁵ Then shall the eyes of the blynde be lyghtened, and the eares of the deaffe opened ⁶ Then shall the lame men leape as an Hart, & the dumbe mans tongue shall geue thankes: for in the wildernesse there shall welles spryng, and fluddes of water in the desert

²⁴ And his fame spread abrode, throughout all Syria: and they brought vnto hym all sicke people, that were taken with diuers diseases, and grypynges, and them that were possessed with deuyls, and those which were lunaticke, and those that had the paulsie, and he healed them

⁵ The blinde receaue their sight, the halt do walke, the lepers are cleansed, and the deafe heare, the dead are raised vp, and the poore receaue the Gospell

⁶ Assoone as he had thus spoke, he spat on the grounde, and made claye of the spittle, and he annoynted with the claye the eyes of the blynde

³² Sence the worlde began, was it not hearde, that any man opened the eyes of one that was borne blynde ³³ If this man were not of God, he coulde haue done nothyng

¹¹ And as the lame which was healed, helde Peter and Iohn, all the people ran amased vnto them, in the porche that is called Solomons

¹² And by the handes of the Apostles, were many signes & wonders shewed among the people. (And they were all together with one accord in Solomons porche

²¹ And Elias came vnto all the people, and said: how long halt ye betweene two opinions? If the Lorde be God, folowe him: but if Baal be he, then go after him. And the people aunswered him not one worde

³ Art thou he that shoulde come? or do we loke for another

¹⁵ As the people wayted, & all men mused in their heartes of Iohn, whether he were very Christe

⁶⁷ Art thou [very] Christe, tell vs? And he sayde vnto them: If I tell you, you wyll not beleue ⁶⁸ And if I aske you, you wyll not aunswere me, nor let me go ⁶⁹ Hereafter shall the sonne of man sit on the right hand of the power of God ⁷⁰ Then said they all: Art thou then the sonne of God? He sayde: Ye say yt I am

¹⁹ And this is the recorde of Iohn: When the Iewes sent priestes and leuites from Hierusalem, to aske hym: What art thou

²⁵ Then sayde they vnto hym: Who art thou? And Iesus saith vnto them: Euen the very same thyng that I sayde vnto you from the begynnyng

⁵³ Art thou greater the our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophetes are dead: whom makest thou thy selfe

²² Such wordes spake his father & mother, because they feared the Iewes: For the Iewes had decreed alredy, that yf any man dyd confesse that he was Christe, he shoulde be excommunicate out of the synagogue

¹² Seyng then that we haue such truste, we vse great boldnesse

² The same came to Iesus by night, & said vnto him: Rabbi, we knowe that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man coulde do these miracles that thou doest, except God were with him

¹⁷ And Iesus aunswered them: My father worketh hitherto, and I worke ¹⁸ Therfore the Iewes sought the more to kyll him, not only because he had broken the Sabboth, but sayde also, that God was his father, and made himselfe equall with God ¹⁹ Then aunswered Iesus, & sayde vnto them: Ueryly veryly I say vnto you, the sonne can do nothyng of hym selfe, but that he seeth ye father do: For whatsoeuer he doeth, that doeth the sonne also ²⁰ For the father loueth the sonne, and sheweth hym all thynges that he hym selfe doeth: And he wyll shewe hym greater workes then these, because ye shoulde marueyle ²¹ For lykewyse as the father rayseth vp the dead, and quickeneth them: euen so, the sonne quickeneth whom he wyll ²² Neither iudgeth the father any man: but hath committed all iudgement vnto the sonne ²³ Because that all men shoulde honour the sonne, euen as they honour the father. He that honoureth not the sonne, the same honoureth not ye father which hath sent hym ²⁴ Ueryly veryly I say vnto you, he that heareth my worde, and beleueth on him that sent me, hath euerlastyng lyfe, and shall not come into dampnation, but is escaped from death vnto lyfe ²⁵ Ueryly veryly I saye vnto you, the houre shall come, and nowe is, when the dead shall heare the voyce of the sonne of God: And they that heare, shall lyue ²⁶ For as the father hath lyfe in hym selfe: so lykewyse hath he geuen to the sonne, to haue lyfe in hym selfe ²⁷ And hath geuen hym power also to iudge, because he is the sonne of man ²⁸ Marueyle not at this: For the houre shall come, in the whiche all that are in the graues shall heare his voyce ²⁹ And shall come foorth, they that haue done good, vnto the resurrection of lyfe, and they that haue done euyll, vnto the resurrection of dampnation ³⁰ I can of mine owne selfe do nothing: As I heare I iudge, and my iudgemet is iuste, because I seke not myne owne wyll, but the wyll of the father whiche hath sent me ³¹ Yf I shoulde beare witnesse of my selfe, my witnesse were not true ³² There is another that beareth witnesse of me, and I am sure that the witnesse which he beareth of me is true ³³ Ye sent vnto Iohn, and he bare witnesse vnto the trueth ³⁴ But I receaue not the recorde of man: Neuerthelesse, these thinges I say, that ye myght be safe ³⁵ He was a burnyng & a shynyng lyght, and ye would for a season haue reioyced in his lyght ³⁶ But I haue greater witnesse, then the witnesse of Iohn: For the workes whiche the father hath geuen me to finishe, the same workes that I do, beare witnesse of me, that the father hath sent me ³⁷ And the father hymselfe which hath sent me, hath borne witnesse of me. Ye haue not hearde his voyce at any tyme, nor seene his shape ³⁸ His worde haue ye not abydyng in you: For who he hath set, him ye beleue not ³⁹ Searche the scriptures, for in them ye thynke ye haue eternall lyfe: and they are they which testifie of me ⁴⁰ And yet wyll ye not come to me, that ye myght haue lyfe ⁴¹ I receaue not prayse of men ⁴² But I knowe you, that ye haue not the loue of God in you ⁴³ I am come in my fathers name, and ye receaue me not. Yf another come in his owne name, hym wyll ye receaue

³¹ Many of the people beleued on hym, and saide: When Christe commeth, wyl he do mo miracles [then these] that this man hath done

¹² Then spake Iesus agayne vnto them, saying, I am the light of ye world: He that foloweth me, doth not walke in darknesse, but shal haue the light of life

²⁴ I sayde therefore vnto you, that you shall dye in your sinnes. For yf ye beleue not that I am he, ye shall dye in your sinnes

⁵⁸ Iesus sayde vnto them: Ueryly, veryly I saye vnto you, before Abraham was, I am

³² Iesus aunswered them, Many good workes haue I shewed you from my father: for which of the do ye stone me

³⁸ But yf I do, and yf ye beleue not me, beleue the workes: that ye may knowe and beleue, that the father is in me, and I in hym

⁴⁷ Then gathered the hye priestes and the pharisees a councell, and sayde: What do we? For this man doth many miracles

³⁷ But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet beleued not they on hym

¹¹ Beleue me, that I am in the father, and the father in me: Or els beleue me for the workes sake

³⁰ And many other signes truely dyd Iesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this booke

²² Ye men of Israel, heare these wordes: Iesus of Nazareth, a man approued of God among you, with miracles, wonders, and signes, which God dyd by hym in the middes of you, as ye your selues also knowe

³⁸ Howe God annoynted Iesus of Nazareth, with the holy ghoste, and with power: Who went about doyng good, and healyng all that were oppressed of the deuyll, for God was with hym

³ Howe shall we escape, yf we neglect so great saluation? which at the first began to be preached of the Lorde, and was confirmed vnto vswarde, by them that hearde it

⁴⁴ No man can come to me, except the father, whiche hath sent me, drawe hym: And I wyll rayse hym vp at the last day ⁴⁵ It is written in the prophetes: And they shalbe all taught of God. Euery man therfore that hath heard, and hath learned of the father, cometh vnto me

⁶⁵ And he sayde: Therfore saide I vnto you, that no man can come vnto me, except it were geue vnto him of my father

⁴⁷ He that is of god, heareth gods wordes. Ye therfore heare the not, because ye are not of God

³⁷ But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet beleued not they on hym ³⁸ That the saying of Esaias the prophete myght be fulfylled, which he spake: Lorde, who shall beleue our saying? And to whom is the arme of the Lorde declared ³⁹ Therfore coulde they not beleue, because that Esaias sayth agayne ⁴⁰ He hath blynded their eyes, and hardened their heart, that they shoulde not see with their eyes, & lest they should vnderstande with their hearte, & should be conuerted, and I should heale them

⁷ What then? Israel hath not obtayned that which he sought: but the election hath obtayned it, the remnaunt hath ben blynded ⁸ Accordyng as it is written: God hath geuen them the spirite of remorse, eyes that they shoulde not see, and eares that they shoulde not heare, euen vnto this day

³ Yf our Gospell be yet hyd, it is hyd in them that are lost ⁴ In whom the god of this worlde hath blinded the myndes of them whiche beleue not, lest the lyght of the Gospell of the glorie of Christe (which is the image of God) should shine vnto them

⁶ We are of God. He that knoweth God, heareth vs: he that is not of God, heareth vs not. Hereby knowe we the spirite of veritie, and the spirite of errour

²³ And then wyll I confesse vnto them, I neuer knewe you: Depart from me, ye that worke iniquitie

¹² But he aunswered and sayde: veryly I say vnto you, I knowe you not

³⁴ And when he had called the people vnto hym, with his disciples also, he said vnto them: Whosoeuer wyll folow me, let hym forsake hym selfe, and take vp his crosse, and folowe me

²¹ Iesus behelde hym, and loued hym, and sayde vnto hym, one thyng thou lackest: Go thy way, sell whatsoeuer thou hast, and geue to the poore, & thou shalt haue treasure in heauen, and come folowe me, and take vp the crosse

²³ And he said to the all: If any man wyl come after me, let him denie him selfe, & take vp his crosse dayly, & folowe me

²⁷ And he shall say, I tell you, I knowe you not, whence ye are: depart from me all ye that worke iniquitie

²⁵ Ueryly veryly I saye vnto you, the houre shall come, and nowe is, when the dead shall heare the voyce of the sonne of God: And they that heare, shall lyue

³ To hym the porter openeth, and the sheepe heare his voyce, and he calleth his owne sheepe by name, and leadeth them out ⁴ And when he hath sent foorth his owne sheepe, he goeth before them, and the sheepe folowe hym: for they knowe his voyce

²² Iesus sayth vnto hym: If I wyll haue hym to tary tyll I come, what is that to thee? folowe thou me

²³ For the tyme wyll come, that euery soule which wyll not heare that same prophete, shalbe destroyed from among the people

³ But if any man loue God, the same is knowen of him

⁹ But nowe after that ye haue knowen God, yea, rather are knowen of God, howe turne ye agayne vnto the weake and beggarly rudimentes, whervnto againe ye desire a freshe to be in bondage

⁷ Wherfore, as the holy ghost saith: Today yf ye wyll heare his voyce

⁴ These are they which were not defiled with wome, for they are virgins: These folowe the lambe whither soeuer he goeth: These were redeemed fro men, beyng the first fruites vnto God, and to the lambe

³ And he loued the people, all his saintes also are in thy handes: They were smitten to go after thy feete, and to receaue of thy wordes

⁹ He wyll kepe the feete of his saintes, and the wicked shall kepe scilence in darknesse, and in his owne myght shal no man be strong

⁹ The righteous also wyll kepe his way, and he that hath cleane handes wyll euer be stronger and stronger

⁵ Into thy hande I commende my spirite: [for] thou hast redeemed me O God the Lorde of trueth

²⁸ For God loueth iudgement, he forsaketh not his saintes: they are preserued for euermore, but the seede of the vngodlye shalbe rooted vp

¹⁷ But the mercifull goodnesse of God endureth for euer and euer, vpon them that feare hym: and his righteousnesse vpon childers children ¹⁸ Euen vpon such as kepe his couenaunt: and thinke vpon his commaundementes to do them

¹ They that put their trust in God [be] as the mount Sion: [whiche] may not be remoued [but] must stande fast for euer 2 As for Hierusalem, hilles be rounde about it: and God is rounde about his people from this tyme foorth for euermore

¹⁸ The path of the righteous shineth, as the light that is euer bryghter and bryghter vnto the perfect day

¹⁶ For a iust man falleth seuen tymes, and ryseth vp agayne: but the vngodly fall into mischiefe

¹⁷ But Israel shalbe saued in the Lord with an euerlasting saluation: ye shall not come to shame nor confusion world without ende

¹⁷ But all the weapons that are made against thee shall not prosper: and as for all tongues that shal resist thee in iudgement, thou shalt ouercome them, and condempne them: This is the heritage of the Lordes seruauntes, and their righteousnesse commeth of me, saith the Lorde

³ Encline your eares and come vnto me, take heede [I say] and your soule shall lyue: For I wyll make an euerlastyng couenaunt with you, euen the sure mercies of Dauid

³ Euen so shall the Lorde nowe also appeare vnto me from farre [and say] I loue thee with an euerlasting loue, therfore by my mercie I haue drawen thee vnto me

³⁴ And from thencefoorth shall no man teache his neighbour or his brother, and say, Knowe the Lorde: but they shal all knowe me from the lowest vnto the hyest, saith the Lorde: for I wyll forgeue their misdeedes, and wyll neuer remember their sinnes any more

⁴⁰ And I wyll set vp an euerlasting couenaunt with them [namely] that I wyll neuer ceasse to do them good, and that I wyll put my feare in their heartes, so that they shall not runne away from me

²² For false Christes, and false prophetes shall ryse, and shall shewe signes and wonders, to deceaue, yf it were possible, euen the elect

³¹ And the Lord saide: Simon, Simon, beholde Satan hath desired to sift you, as it were wheate ³² But I haue prayed for thee, that thy fayth fayle not: And when thou art couerted, strength thy brethren

⁴⁶ And when Iesus had cryed with a loude voyce, he sayde: Father into thy handes I commende my spirite. And when he thus had sayde, he gaue vp the ghost

¹⁵ That whosoeuer beleueth in hym, perishe not, but haue eternall lyfe ¹⁶ For God so loued the worlde, that he gaue his only begotten sonne, that whosoeuer beleueth in hym, shoulde not perishe, but haue euerlastyng lyfe

³⁶ He that beleueth on the sonne, hath euerlastyng lyfe: He that beleueth not the sonne, shall not see life, but the wrath of God abydeth on hym

¹⁴ But whosoeuer drynketh of the water that I shall geue hym, shall neuer be more a thyrst: but the water that I shall geue him, shalbe in him a well of water, spryngyng vp into euerlastyng lyfe

²⁴ Ueryly veryly I say vnto you, he that heareth my worde, and beleueth on him that sent me, hath euerlastyng lyfe, and shall not come into dampnation, but is escaped from death vnto lyfe

³⁹ Searche the scriptures, for in them ye thynke ye haue eternall lyfe: and they are they which testifie of me ⁴⁰ And yet wyll ye not come to me, that ye myght haue lyfe

²⁷ Labour not for the meate whiche perisheth, but for that whiche endureth vnto euerlastyng lyfe, which [meate] the sonne of man shall geue vnto you: For hym hath God the father sealed

³⁹ And this is the fathers wyll whiche hath sent me: that of all which he hath geuen me, I shal lose nothing, but rayse it vp agayne at the last day ⁴⁰ And this is the wyll of him yt sent me: that euery one which seeth the sonne, & beleueth on him, hath euerlastyng lyfe: And I wyll rayse him vp at ye last day

⁴⁷ Ueryly veryly I say vnto you, he that putteth his trust in me, hath euerlasting lyfe

⁶⁸ Then Simon Peter aunswered him: Lorde, to who shall we go? Thou hast the wordes of eternall lyfe

²⁵ Iesus sayth vnto her, I am the resurrection, and the lyfe: He that beleueth on me, yea, though he were dead, yet shall he lyue

¹⁹ Yet a litle whyle, and the worlde shall see me no more: but ye shall see me, because I lyue, and ye shall lyue [also.

² As thou hast geuen hym power ouer all fleshe, that he shoulde geue eternall life, to as many as thou hast geuen him

¹¹ And nowe am I not in the worlde, and they are in the worlde, and I come to thee. Holy father, kepe through thine owne name, the which thou hast geuen me, that they may also be one, as we are ¹² Whyle I was with them in ye worlde, I kept them in thy name. Those that thou gauest me, haue I kept, and none of them is lost, but that lost chylde, that the scripture myght be fulfylled

⁹ That the saying myght be fulfylled which he spake: Of them which thou gauest me, haue I not lost one

⁵⁹ And they stoned Steuen, callyng on, and saying: Lorde Iesu receaue my spirite

² By whom also we haue had an entrauce by fayth, vnto this grace wherin we stande, and reioyce in hope of the glorie of God

⁹ Muche more then nowe, we that are iustified by his blood, shalbe saued from wrath through hym

¹⁷ For yf by the sinne of one, death raigned by the meanes of one: much more they, whiche receaue aboundaunce of grace, and of the gyfte of ryghteousnes, shall raigne in life by the meanes of one, Iesus Christe

²¹ That as sinne hath raigned vnto death: euen so myght grace raigne thorowe ryghteousnes vnto eternall lyfe, by Iesus Christe our Lorde

²³ For the rewarde of sinne is death: but the gyft of God is eternall lyfe, thorowe Iesus Christe our Lorde

¹ There is then no dampnation to them which are in Christe Iesu, which walke not after the fleshe, but after the spirite

²⁹ For those which he knewe before, he also dyd predestinate, that they shoulde be lyke fashioned vnto the shape of his sonne, that he myght be ye first begotten among many brethren

³³ Who shall lay any thyng to the charge of Gods chosen? It is God that iustifieth ³⁴ Who is he that can condempne? It is Christe which dyed, yea rather which is raysed agayne, which is also on the ryght hande of God, and maketh intercession for vs ³⁵ Who shall seperate vs from the loue of God? Shall tribulation or anguishe, or persecution, either hunger, either nakednesse, either peryll, either sworde ³⁶ As it is written: For thy sake are we kylled all daye long, and are counted as sheepe for the slaughter ³⁷ Neuerthelesse, in all these thinges we ouercome, through hym that loued vs ³⁸ For I am sure, that neither death, neither lyfe, neither angels, nor rule, neither power, neither thynges present, neither thynges to come ³⁹ Neither heygth nor deapth, neither any other creature, shalbe able to seperate vs from the loue of God, which is in Christe Iesu our Lorde

⁶ And beyng perswaded of this same thyng, that he which hath begun good worke in you, wyll perfourme it vntyll the day of Iesus Christe

³ For ye are dead, and your lyfe is hyd with Christe in God ⁴ When soeuer Christe which is our life, shall appeare, then shall ye also appeare with hym in glorie

¹⁶ Notwithstandyng, for this cause was mercie shewed vnto me, that in me the first, Iesus Christe myght shewe all long sufferyng, to the example of them which shoulde beleue on hym to lyfe euerlastyng

⁵ Which are kept by the power of God through fayth vnto saluation, which is prepared alredie to be shewed in the last tyme

²⁵ And this is the promise that he hath promised vs, euen eternall lyfe

¹¹ And this is the recorde, how that God hath geuen vnto vs eternall lyfe, and this lyfe, is in his sonne

¹³ These thynges haue I written vnto you that beleue on ye name of the sonne of God, that ye may knowe howe that ye haue eternall lyfe, and that ye may beleue on the name of the sonne of God ¹⁴ And this is the trust that we haue in hym: that yf we aske any thyng accordyng to his wyll, he heareth vs ¹⁵ And yf we knowe that he heare vs, whatsoeuer we aske: we know that we haue ye petitions that we desire of hym ¹⁶ If any man see his brother sinne a sinne not vnto death, let hym aske, and he shal geue him life for them that sinne not vnto death. There is a sinne vnto death: I say not that thou shouldest pray for it ¹⁷ All vnrighteousnes is sinne: and there is sinne vnto death ¹⁸ We knowe that whosoeuer is borne of God, sinneth not: but he that is begotten of God, kepeth hym selfe, and that wicked toucheth hym not ¹⁹ We knowe that we are of God, & the whole worlde lieth in wickednesse ²⁰ We knowe that the sonne of God is come, & hath geuen vs a minde to know hym which is true: and we are in hym that is true, through his sonne Iesus Christe. This same is very God, and eternall lyfe

¹ Iude the seruaunt of Iesus Christe, the brother of Iames: To them which are called and sanctified in God the father, and preserued in Iesus Christe

²¹ And kepe your selues in the loue of God, lokyng for the mercie of our Lord Iesus Christe, vnto eternall lyfe

²⁴ Unto him that is able to kepe you free from sinne, and to present you faultlesse before the presence of his glory with ioy

¹¹ Nowe I knowe that the Lorde is greater then all gods: for in the thyng whereby they dealt cruelly with them, were they destroyed them selues

³ Great is God and most worthy to be praysed: and his greatnesse can not be searched out

³ O how great are his signes, and howe mightie are his wonders? his kingdome is an euerlasting kingdome, & his dominion is fro generation to generation

¹⁴ Cursed be the deceitfull which hath in his flocke a male, and voweth, and sacrificeth a corrupt thing to the Lorde: because I am a great king, saith the lord of hoastes, and my name is fearefull among the heathen

²⁸ Ye haue hearde howe I sayde vnto you, I go away, and come agayne vnto you. Yf ye loued me, ye woulde veryly reioyce, because I sayde, I go vnto the father: for the father is greater then I

⁶ I haue declared thy name vnto ye men, which thou gauest me out of ye world. Thyne they were, and thou gauest the me, and they haue kepte thy worde

⁹ I pray for them: I pray not for the worlde, but for them which thou hast geuen me, for they are thyne

¹¹ And nowe am I not in the worlde, and they are in the worlde, and I come to thee. Holy father, kepe through thine owne name, the which thou hast geuen me, that they may also be one, as we are

¹⁹ Go ye therfore, & teache all nations, baptizing them in the name of the father, and of the sonne, and of the holye ghost

¹ In the begynnyng was the worde, & the worde was with God: and that worde was God ² The same was in the begynnyng with God

¹⁷ And Iesus aunswered them: My father worketh hitherto, and I worke

²³ Because that all men shoulde honour the sonne, euen as they honour the father. He that honoureth not the sonne, the same honoureth not ye father which hath sent hym

⁹ Iesus sayth vnto hym: Haue I ben so long tyme with you, & yet hast thou not knowen me? Philip, he that hath seene me, hath seene the father. And howe sayest thou then, shewe vs the father

²³ Iesus aunswered, & sayde vnto hym: If a man loue me, he wyll kepe my sayinges: and my father wyll loue hym, and we wyll come vnto hym, and dwell with hym

¹⁵ All thynges that the father hath, are mine: Therfore sayde I [vnto you] that he shall take of mine, & shew vnto you

¹⁰ And all myne are thyne, and thyne are myne, and I am glorified in them

²¹ That they all may be one, as thou father art in me, and I in thee, and that they also may be one in vs: that ye world may beleue, that thou hast sent me ²² And the glorie which thou gauest me, I haue geuen them, that they may be one, as we also are one ²³ I in them, and thou in me: that they may be made perfecte in one, and that the worlde may knowe that thou hast sent me, and hast loued them, as thou hast loued me

¹⁶ And without doubt, great is that misterie of godlynesse: God was shewed in the flesshe, was iustified in the spirite, was seene among the angels, was preached vnto the gentiles, was beleued on in the worlde, and was receaued vp in glorie

¹³ Lokyng for that blessed hope and appearyng of the glorie of the great God, and our sauiour Iesus Christe

⁷ For there are three which beare recorde in heauen, the father, the worde, and the holy ghost, and these three are one

⁴ And Moyses cryed vnto the Lorde, saying: What shall I do vnto this people, they be almost redy to stone me

⁶ And Dauid was in great cumbraunce: For the people entended to stone him, because the heartes of all ye people were vexed euery man for his sonnes and for his daughters: But Dauid toke a good courage to him in the Lorde his God

³⁵ And the husbande men caught his seruauntes, and beatte one, killed another, and stoned another

³⁵ That vpon you may come all the ryghteous blood, which hath ben shed vpon the earth, from the blood of ryghteous Abel, vnto the blood of Zacharias, sonne of Barachias, whom ye slewe betwene the temple & the aulter

¹⁸ Therfore the Iewes sought the more to kyll him, not only because he had broken the Sabboth, but sayde also, that God was his father, and made himselfe equall with God

⁵⁹ Then toke they vp stones to caste at hym: but Iesus hyd hym selfe, and went out of the temple

⁸ His disciples sayde vnto hym: Maister, the Iewes lately sought to stone thee, and wylt thou go thither agayne

⁵² Which of the prophetes haue not your fathers persecuted? And they haue slayne them which shewed before of the commyng of that iuste, of whom ye are nowe the betrayers and murtherers

⁵⁸ And cast hym out of the citie, and stoned him. And ye witnesses layde downe their clothes at a young mans feete, whose name was Saul ⁵⁹ And they stoned Steuen, callyng on, and saying: Lorde Iesu receaue my spirite

⁴ And Ionathan spake good of Dauid vnto Saul his father, and sayde vnto him: Let not the king sinne against his seruaunt, against Dauid: for he hath not sinned against thee, and his workes haue ben to theewarde very good ⁵ For he dyd put his life in his hande, and slue the Philistine, and the Lorde brought to passe a great health for all Israel: Thou sawest it, and thou reioycedst: Wherfore then wilt thou sinne against innocent blood, and slay Dauid without a cause ⁶ And Saul hearkened vnto the voyce of Ionathan, and Saul sware, as the Lorde lyueth he shall not dye

²⁰ And the spirite of God came vpon Zacharia the sonne of Iehoiada the priest, which stoode by the people, and sayd vnto them, thus sayth God: Why transgresse ye the commaundementes of the Lorde, that ye can not prosper? For because ye haue forsaken the Lord, he also hath forsaken you ²¹ And they conspired against him, and stoned him with stones at the commaundement of the king, euen in the court of the house of the Lorde ²² And so Ioas the king remembred not ye kindnesse whiche Iehoiada his father had done to him, but slue his sonne: And when he died, he sayde, The Lorde loke vpon it, and require it

¹² They rewarded me euill for good: to the great discomfort of my soule

⁴ For the loue that I bare vnto them, they are become mine aduersaries: but I geue my selfe vnto prayer ⁵ Thus haue they rewarded me euyll for good: and hatred for my good wyll

⁴ Agayne, I sawe that all trauayle and diligence of labour that euery man taketh in hande, was done of enuie agaynst his neighbour: This is also a vayne thyng, and a vexation of mynde

¹⁹ Then aunswered Iesus, & sayde vnto them: Ueryly veryly I say vnto you, the sonne can do nothyng of hym selfe, but that he seeth ye father do: For whatsoeuer he doeth, that doeth the sonne also ²⁰ For the father loueth the sonne, and sheweth hym all thynges that he hym selfe doeth: And he wyll shewe hym greater workes then these, because ye shoulde marueyle

³⁶ But I haue greater witnesse, then the witnesse of Iohn: For the workes whiche the father hath geuen me to finishe, the same workes that I do, beare witnesse of me, that the father hath sent me

²⁵ Iesus aunswered them: I tolde you, and ye beleue not. The workes that I do in my fathers name, they beare witnesse of me

³⁷ Yf I do not the workes of my father, beleue me not

¹² Not as Cain, which was of that wicked, and slewe his brother: And wherfore slewe he hym? Because his owne workes were euyll, and his brothers good

¹⁴ Bryng the cursed speaker without the hoast, and let all that hearde hym, put their handes vpon his head, and let all the multitude stone hym

¹⁶ And he that blasphemeth the name of the Lorde, let him be slayne, and all the multitude shall stone hym to death: Whether he be borne in the lande, or a straunger, when he blasphemeth the name of the Lorde, let hym be slayne

¹⁰ And set two vnthriftes before him, to beare witnesse against him, saying, Thou dyddest blaspheme God and the king: And then carie him out, and stone him to death

⁶ I haue sayde ye are gods: and ye all are chyldren of the most highest

³⁰ I and my father are one

¹ Let euery soule be subiect vnto the hyer powers: For there is no power but of god. The powers that be, are ordeyned of God

⁶ Who beyng in the fourme of God, thought it not robbery to be equall with God

¹⁶ And he shalbe thy spokesman vnto the people, and he shalbe [euen] he shalbe to thee in steade of a mouth, and thou shalt be to him, in steade of God

¹ And the Lorde sayde vnto Moyses: behold, I haue made thee Pharaos God: and Aaron thy brother shalbe thy prophete

²⁸ Thou shalt not rayle vpon ye gods, neither blaspheme ye ruler of the people

¹ God standeth in the congregation of God: he iudgeth in the midst of God

⁶ I haue sayde ye are gods: and ye all are chyldren of the most highest ⁷ But ye shall dye lyke as a man [doth:] and princes them selues shall fall away lyke as other [do.

¹ I wyll geue thankes vnto thee O God with my whole heart: I wyll sing psalmes vnto thee before the gods

¹⁷ It is also written in your lawe, that the testimonie of two men is true

³⁴ The people aunswered him: We haue hearde out of the lawe, that Christe bydeth euer: and howe sayest thou, the sonne of man must be lyft vp? Who is that sonne of man

²⁵ But [this commeth to passe,] that the worde myght be fulfylled, that is written in their lawe: They hated me without a cause

¹⁰ As it is written: There is none righteous, no not one ¹¹ There is none that vnderstandeth, there is none that seketh after God ¹² They are all gone out of the waye, they are all vnprofitable, there is none that doth good, no not one ¹³ Their throte is an open sepulchre, with their tongues they haue deceaued, the poyso of aspes is vnder their lippes ¹⁴ Whose mouth is full of cursyng and bytternesse ¹⁵ Their feete are swyft to shed blood ¹⁶ Heartes griefe & miserie are in their wayes ¹⁷ And they way of peace haue they not knowen ¹⁸ There is no feare of God before their eyes ¹⁹ Nowe we knowe that what thynges so euer the lawe saith, it saith it to them which are vnder the lawe: That all mouthes maye be stopped, and that al ye world may be indaungered to God

²¹ In the lawe it is written: With sundry tongues, and with sundry lyppes, wyll I speake vnto this people, and yet for all that will they not heare me, sayth the Lorde

¹ After these thynges, the worde of the Lorde came vnto Abram in a vision, saying: feare not Abram I am thy shielde [and] thy exceedyng great rewarde

¹⁵ The Lorde thy God wyll stirre vp vnto thee a prophete among you, euen of thy brethren like vnto me, vnto hym ye shall hearken

¹⁸ I wyll raise them vp a prophete from among their brethren lyke vnto thee, and wyll put my wordes in his mouth, and he shall speake vnto them all that I shall commaunde hym ¹⁹ And whosoeuer wyll not hearken vnto my wordes, which he shall speake in my name, I wyll require it of hym ²⁰ But the prophete which shall presume to speake a worde in my name, which I haue not comaunded hym to speake, or that speaketh in the name of strauge gods, the same prophete shall dye

³⁶ And Saul sayde: Let vs go downe after the Philistines by night, and spoyle them, vntil it be day in the morning, and let vs not leaue one man of them. And they sayde: Do whatsoeuer thou thinkest best. Then sayde the priest: Let vs come hyther vnto God ³⁷ And Saul asked of God: Shall I go downe after the Philistines? Wilt thou deliuer them into the handes of Israel? But he aunswered him not at that time

¹ Samuel also saide vnto Saul: The Lord sent me to anoynt thee, to be king ouer his people, ouer Israel: Now therfore hearken thou vnto the voyce of the wordes of the Lorde

⁹ And Dauid hauing knowledge that Saul imagined mischiefe agaynst him, sayde to Abiathar the priest: Bring the Ephod ¹⁰ Then sayde Dauid: O Lorde God of Israel, thy seruaunt hath hearde that Saul is about to come to Keila to destroye the citie for my sake ¹¹ Will the lordes of Keila deliuer me into his hande? And will Saul come downe, as thy seruaunt hath hearde, O Lorde God of Israel: I besech thee tell thy seruaunt. And the Lorde sayde: He wil come downe

⁶ And when Saul asked councell of the Lorde, the Lorde aunswered him not, neither by dreames, nor by Urim, nor yet by prophetes

⁸ And Dauid asked councel at the Lord, saying: Shall I follow after this company? shall I ouertake them? And he aunswered him: Folowe, for thou shalt suerlie ouertake them, and recouer all

⁵ Go, and tell my seruaunt Dauid, thus sayeth the Lorde: shalt thou buylde me an house to dwell in

⁸ But the word of the Lord came to me, saying: Thou hast shed much blood, and hast made great battayles: thou shalt therefore not buylde an house vnto my name, for thou hast shed much blood vpon the earth in my sight

² And the worde of the Lorde came to Semiahu the man of God, saying ³ Speake vnto Rehoboam the sonne of Solomon king of Iuda, & to all them of Israel that are in Iuda and Beniamin, and say

² And Iehu the sonne of Hanani the sear went out to meete him, and sayd to king Iehosaphat: Wouldest thou helpe the vngodly, and loue them that hate the Lorde? Therfore is wrath come downe vpon thee from before the Lorde

¹⁸ For truely I say vnto you, tyll heauen and earth passe, one iotte, or one title of the lawe shall not scape, tyll all be fulfylled

³⁵ Heauen and earth shall passe away but my wordes shall not passe away

³⁵ When they had crucified hym, they parted his garmentes, & did cast lottes, that it myght be fulfylled whiche was spoken by the prophete: They departed my garmentes among them, & vpon my vesture dyd they cast lottes

¹⁷ Easyer is it for heauen and earth to perishe, the one title of the lawe to faile

²⁶ Ought not Christe to haue suffered these thinges, & to enter into his glory ²⁷ And he began at Moyses, and all the prophetes, and interpreted vnto them in all Scriptures which were writen of hym

⁴⁴ And he sayde vnto them: These are the wordes which I spake vnto you, whyle I was yet with you, that all must [needes] be fulfylled, which were written of me in the law of Moyses, and in the prophetes, and in the psalmes ⁴⁵ Then opened he their wittes, that they myght vnderstande the scriptures ⁴⁶ And sayde vnto them: Thus is it written, and thus it behoued Christe to suffer, and to rise agayne from death the thirde day

³⁸ That the saying of Esaias the prophete myght be fulfylled, which he spake: Lorde, who shall beleue our saying? And to whom is the arme of the Lorde declared ³⁹ Therfore coulde they not beleue, because that Esaias sayth agayne

²⁸ After these thynges, Iesus knowyng that all thynges were nowe perfourmed, that the scripture might be fulfylled, he sayth, I thirste

³⁶ For these thynges were done, that the scripture shoulde be fulfylled: Ye shall not breake a bone of hym ³⁷ And agayne another scripture saith: They shall loke on hym whom they pearsed

¹⁶ Ye men and brethren, this scripture must needes haue ben fulfylled, which the holy ghost by the mouth of Dauid spake before of Iudas, which was guide to them that toke Iesus

² The kynges of the earth stande vp: and the rulers take counsell together against god, and against his annointed

⁶ [Saying] euen I haue annointed [him] my kyng: vpon my holy hyll of Sion ⁷ I wyll declare the decree, God sayde vnto me: thou art my sonne, this day I haue begotten thee ⁸ Desire of me, and I wyll geue thee the heathen for thyne inheritaunce: and the vttermost partes of the earth for thy possession ⁹ Thou shalt bruise them with a rod of iron: and breake them in peeces like a potters vessell ¹⁰ Wherfore be you nowe wel aduised O ye kinges: be you learned ye [that are] iudges of the earth ¹¹ Serue ye God in feare: and reioyce ye with a trembling ¹² Kisse ye the sonne lest that he be angrye, and [so] ye perishe [from] the way, if his wrath be neuer so litle kindled: blessed are all they that put their trust in hym

² The spirite of the Lorde shall rest vpon him, the spirite of wysdome and vnderstanding, the spirite of counsaile and strength, the spirite of knowledge and of the feare of the Lorde ³ And shall make hym of deepe iudgement in the feare of God: For he shall not geue sentence after the thing that shalbe brought before his eyes, neither reproue after the hearing of his eares ⁴ But with righteousnesse shal he iudge the poore, and with equitie shall he refourme the simple of the worlde, and he shall smyte the worlde with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his mouth shall he slay the vngodly ⁵ Righteousnesse shalbe the gyrdle of his loynes, and faythfulnesse the gyrding vp of his raynes

³ And a broosed reede shall he not breake, and the smoking flaxe shall he not quench: but faythfully and truely shall he geue iudgement

¹ Ye Isles hearken vnto me, and take heede ye people from farre: The Lord hath called me from my birth, and made mention of my name from my mothers wombe ² He hath made my mouth lyke a sharpe sworde, vnder the shadowe of his hande hath he defended me, and hid me in his quiuer as a good arrowe ³ And sayde vnto me: Thou art my seruaunt Israel, I wyll be honoured in thee

⁶ And he sayde: It is but a small thyng that thou art my seruaunt to set vp the kinredes of Iacob, and to restore the destruction of Israel: For I haue made thee the lyght of the gentiles, that thou mayest be my health vnto the ende of the worlde ⁷ Moreouer, thus saith the Lorde the redeemer and holy one of Israel, concernyng the abhorred & dispised among the gentiles, the seruaunt of them that beare rule, kynges and princes shall see and arise, and worship because of the Lorde that is faythfull, and because of the holy one of Israel that hath chosen thee ⁸ And thus saith the Lorde: In the tyme accepted haue I hearde thee, and in the day of saluation haue I helped thee: I wyll preserue thee, and make thee to be the attonement of the people, that thou mayest helpe vp the earth againe, and possesse againe the desolate heritages

⁴ Beholde, I gaue hym for a witnesse among the folke, for a prince & a teacher vnto the people

¹ The spirite of the Lord is vpon me: for the Lord hath annoynted me, and sent me to preache good tidinges vnto the poore, that I might binde vp the wounded heartes, that I might preache deliueraunce to the captiue, and open the prison to the that are bounde ² That I might declare the acceptable yere of the Lorde, and the day of the vengeaunce of our God: that I might comfort all them that are in heauinesse ³ That I might geue vnto them that mourne in Sion, that I might geue [I say] beautie in steede of asshes, ioyfull oyntment for sighing, pleasaunt rayment for an heauie minde, that they might be called trees of righteousnesse, a planting of the Lorde for hym to reioyce in

⁵ Before I fashioned thee in thy mothers wombe, I dyd knowe thee: and or euer thou wast borne, I sanctified thee, and ordeyned thee to be a prophete vnto the people

⁶³ But Iesus helde his peace. And the chiefe priest aunswered, and sayde vnto hym: I charge thee by the liuing God, that thou tel vs, whether thou be Christ the sonne of God ⁶⁴ Iesus saith vnto him: thou hast said. Neuerthelesse, I saye vnto you, hereafter shall ye see the sonne of man sitting on the ryght hande of power, and commyng in the cloudes of the skye ⁶⁵ Then the hye priest rent his clothes, saying: He hath spoken blasphemie, what nede we of any mo witnesses? Beholde, now ye haue hearde his blasphemie ⁶⁶ What thynke ye? They aunswered and sayde: he is worthy to dye

⁴³ He trusted in God, let hym delyuer hym nowe, yf he wyll haue hym: for he sayde, I am the sonne of God

⁵⁴ When the Centurion, and they that were with hym watchyng Iesus, sawe the earthquake, and those thynges that were done, they feared greatly, saying: truely, this was the sonne of God

³⁵ And the Angel aunswered, & saide vnto her: The holy ghost shall come vpon thee, & the power of the hyest shall ouershadowe thee. Therefore also that holy thyng whiche shalbe borne, shalbe called the sonne of God

³⁴ For he whom God hath sent, speaketh the wordes of God: For God geueth not the spirite by measure vnto hym

¹⁷ And Iesus aunswered them: My father worketh hitherto, and I worke ¹⁸ Therfore the Iewes sought the more to kyll him, not only because he had broken the Sabboth, but sayde also, that God was his father, and made himselfe equall with God

³⁶ But I haue greater witnesse, then the witnesse of Iohn: For the workes whiche the father hath geuen me to finishe, the same workes that I do, beare witnesse of me, that the father hath sent me ³⁷ And the father hymselfe which hath sent me, hath borne witnesse of me. Ye haue not hearde his voyce at any tyme, nor seene his shape

⁵⁷ As the lyuing father hath sent me, and I lyue by the father: Euen so, he that eateth me, shal liue by [the meanes of] me

⁶⁹ And we beleue and are sure that thou art Christe, the sonne of ye lyuyng God

⁴² Iesus saide vnto them: Yf God were your father, truely ye woulde loue me: For I proceaded foorth, and came from God: neither came I of my selfe, but he sent me

³⁵ Iesus hearde that they had excommunicate hym, & when he had founde hym, he sayde vnto hym: Doest thou beleue on the sonne of God ³⁶ He aunswered and sayde: Who is he Lorde, that I myght beleue on hym ³⁷ And Iesus sayde vnto hym: Thou hast both seene hym, and it is he that talketh with thee

³⁰ I and my father are one ³¹ Then the Iewes agayne toke vp stones, to stone hym [withall. ³² Iesus aunswered them, Many good workes haue I shewed you from my father: for which of the do ye stone me ³³ The Iewes aunswered hym, saying: For thy good workes [sake] we stone thee not, but for thy blasphemie, and because that thou beyng a man, makest thy selfe God

¹⁸ As thou diddest sende me into ye world, eue so haue I also sent the into ye world

²¹ That they all may be one, as thou father art in me, and I in thee, and that they also may be one in vs: that ye world may beleue, that thou hast sent me

⁷ The Iewes aunswered hym: We haue a lawe, and by our lawe he ought to dye, because he made hym selfe the sonne of God

²⁸ Thomas aunswered, and sayde vnto hym: My Lorde, and my God

³¹ These are written, that ye myght beleue that Iesus is Christe the sonne of God, and that in beleuyng, ye myght haue lyfe through his name

⁴ And hath ben declared to be the sonne of God, with power after the spirite that sanctifieth, by the resurrectio from the dead, of Iesus Christe our Lorde

³ For what the lawe coulde not do, in as much as it was weake through the fleshe, God sendyng his owne sonne, in the similitude of sinfull fleshe, euen by sinne, condempned sinne in the fleshe

⁵ Of whom are the fathers, of whom as concernyng the fleshe, Christe [came,] which is God, in all thynges to be praysed for euer. Amen

⁴ But when the fulnesse of the tyme was come, God sent his sonne, made of a woman, and made vnder the lawe

⁹ In this appeared the loue of God to vs warde, because God sent his only begotten sonne into the worlde, that we myght lyue through hym ¹⁰ Herein is loue, not that we loued God, but that he loued vs, and sent his sonne to be the agreement for our sinnes ¹¹ Dearely beloued, yf God so loued vs, we ought also to loue one another ¹² No man hath seene God at any time. If we loue one another, God dwelleth in vs, and his loue is perfect in vs ¹³ Hereby knowe we that we dwell in hym, & he in vs: because he hath geuen vs of his spirite ¹⁴ And we haue seene, and do testifie that the father sent the sonne to be the sauiour of the worlde

²⁰ Then began he to vpbrayd the cities which most of his mightie workes were done in, because they repented not ²¹ Wo vnto thee Chorazin, wo vnto thee Bethsaida: for if the mightie workes which were shewed in you had ben done in Tyre or Sidon, they had repented long ago in sackcloth and asshes ²² Neuerthelesse I say vnto you, it shalbe easier for Tyre and Sidon at the day of iudgement, then for you ²³ And thou Capernaum, which art lift vp vnto heauen, shalt be brought downe to hell: For if the mightie workes which haue ben done in thee had ben done among them of Sodome, they had remayned vntyll this day ²⁴ Neuerthelesse, I say vnto you, that it shalbe easier for the lande of Sodome in the day of iudgement, then for thee

³¹ Yf I shoulde beare witnesse of my selfe, my witnesse were not true

¹⁰ Beleuest thou not, that I am in the father, & the father in me? The wordes that I speake vnto you, I speake not of my selfe: but the father that dwelleth in me, is he that doth the workes

²⁴ Yf I had not done among them, the workes which none other man dyd, they shoulde haue had no sinne. But nowe haue they both seene, and hated not only me, but also my father

⁹ Iesus sayth vnto hym: Haue I ben so long tyme with you, & yet hast thou not knowen me? Philip, he that hath seene me, hath seene the father. And howe sayest thou then, shewe vs the father ¹⁰ Beleuest thou not, that I am in the father, & the father in me? The wordes that I speake vnto you, I speake not of my selfe: but the father that dwelleth in me, is he that doth the workes ¹¹ Beleue me, that I am in the father, and the father in me: Or els beleue me for the workes sake

²⁰ That day shall ye knowe, that I am in my father, and you in me, & I in you

⁸ Then Peter, full of the holy ghost, sayde vnto them: Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel ⁹ If we this day be examined of the good deede done to the sicke man, by what meanes he is made whole ¹⁰ Be it knowen vnto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Iesus Christe of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raysed agayne from the dead: euen by hym doth this man stande here before you whole ¹¹ This is the stone which was cast asyde of you buylders, which is the head of the corner ¹² Neither is there saluation in any other. For among men vnder heauen, there is geuen none other name, wherin we must be saued

²⁹ And rose vp, and thrust hym out of the citie, and led hym euen vnto the edge of the hyll (wheron their citie was built,) yt they might cast him downe headlong ³⁰ But he, passyng through the myddes of them, went his way

³⁰ Then they sought to take hym: but no man layde handes on hym, because his houre was not yet come

⁴⁴ And some of them woulde haue taken hym, but no man layde handes on him

³¹ Then the Iewes agayne toke vp stones, to stone hym [withall.

²⁸ These thynges were done in Bethabara beyonde Iordane, where Iohn dyd baptize

²⁶ And they came vnto Iohn, and sayde vnto hym: Rabbi, he that was with thee beyonde Iordane, to whom thou barest witnesse, beholde the same baptizeth, and all men come to hym

¹ After these thynges, Iesus went about in Galilee: For he would not go about in Iurie, because that the Iewes sought to kyll hym

⁵⁴ Iesus therfore walked no more openlye among the Iewes: but went his way thence, vnto a countrey nye to a wildernesse, into a citie which is called Ephraim, and there continued with his disciples

¹¹ I baptize you in water vnto repentaunce: But he that shall come after me, is mightier then I, whose shoes I am not worthy to beare, he shall baptize you with the holy ghost, and with fire ¹² Whose fanne is in his hande, and he wyll purge his floore, and gather his wheate into [his] garner: but wyl burne vp the chaffe with vnquencheable fire

²³ And Iesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preachyng the Gospell of the kingdome, and healyng all maner of sicknesse, and all maner of disease among the people ²⁴ And his fame spread abrode, throughout all Syria: and they brought vnto hym all sicke people, that were taken with diuers diseases, and grypynges, and them that were possessed with deuyls, and those which were lunaticke, and those that had the paulsie, and he healed them ²⁵ And there folowed him great multitudes of people, from Galilee, and from the ten cities, and from Hierusalem, and from Iurie, and from the regions (that lye) beyonde Iordane

² And sayde vnto his seruauntes: this is Iohn the Baptist, he is risen from the dead, and therfore great workes do shewe foorth them selues in hym

³⁷ And when they had founde hym, they sayde vnto hym: all men seke for thee

¹ It came to passe, that when ye people preassed vpon hym, to heare the worde of God, he stoode by the lake of Genezareth

²⁶ But what went ye foorth to see? A prophete? Yea, I say to you, and more then a prophete ²⁷ This is he, of whom it is written: Beholde, I sende my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee ²⁸ For I say vnto you, among womens chyldren, is there not a greater prophete then Iohn Baptist. Neuerthesse, he that is lesse in the kyngdome of God, is greater then he ²⁹ And all the people, and the publicanes that hearde hym, iustified God, and were baptized with the baptisme of Iohn ³⁰ But the pharisees and lawyers despised the councel of God, agaynst them selues, and were not baptized of hym

¹ In ye meane tyme, whe ther were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people [insomuch] that they trode one another, he began to saye vnto his disciples. First of all, beware of the leuen of the pharisees, which is hypocrisie

²⁷ He it is, which though he came after me, was before me, whose shoes latchet I am not worthy to vnloose

²⁹ The next day, Iohn seeth Iesus comming vnto hym, and saith, beholde the lambe of God, which taketh away the sinne of the worlde ³⁰ This is he of whom I sayde, After me commeth a man, which is preferred before me, for he was before me

³³ And knewe hym not. But he that sent me to baptize with water, the same saide vnto me: vpon whom thou shalt see the spirite descende, and tary styll on hym, the same is he which baptizeth with the holy ghost ³⁴ And I sawe, and bare recorde, that he is the sonne of God

¹¹ This begynnyng of miracles dyd Iesus in Cana of Galilee, and shewed his glory, & his disciples beleued on hym

²⁶ And they came vnto Iohn, and sayde vnto hym: Rabbi, he that was with thee beyonde Iordane, to whom thou barest witnesse, beholde the same baptizeth, and all men come to hym ²⁷ Iohn aunswered, and sayde: A man can receaue nothyng, except it be geuen hym from heauen ²⁸ Ye your selues are witnesses, howe that I sayde I am not Christe, but am sent before hym ²⁹ He that hath ye bride, is the bridegrome. But the friende of the brydegrome, which standeth & heareth him, reioyceth greatly because of ye brydegromes voyce. This my ioy therfore is fulfylled ³⁰ He must increace, but I must decreace ³¹ He that commeth from an hye, is aboue all: He that is of the earth, is earthlye, and speaketh of the earth. He that commeth from heauen, is aboue all ³² And what he hath seene and hearde, that he testifieth: and no man receaueth his testimonie ³³ He that hath receaued his testimonie, hath set to his seale, that God is true ³⁴ For he whom God hath sent, speaketh the wordes of God: For God geueth not the spirite by measure vnto hym ³⁵ The father loueth the sonne, and hath geuen all thynges into his hande ³⁶ He that beleueth on the sonne, hath euerlastyng lyfe: He that beleueth not the sonne, shall not see life, but the wrath of God abydeth on hym

²³ When he was in Hierusalem at the Passouer, in the feast day, many beleued on his name, when they sawe his miracles which he dyd

³⁹ Many of the Samaritanes of that citie beleued on hym, for the saying of the woman, which testified that he tolde her all that euer she dyd

⁴¹ And many mo beleued, because of his owne worde

³⁰ As he spake those wordes, many beleued on hym

⁴⁵ Then many of the Iewes which came to Marie, and had seene ye thynges which Iesus dyd, beleued on hym

⁴² Neuerthelesse, among ye chiefe rulers also, many beleued on hym: But because of the pharisees, they dyd not confesse hym, lest they should be excomunicate
