4    In the beginning was
5the Word, & the Word
6was with God, and
7the Word was God.
8    2 The same was
9in the beginning with
10God.
11    3 All things were made by him,
12and without him was not any thing
13made that was made.
14    4 In him was life, and the life was
15the light of men.
16    5 And the light shineth in darknesse,
17and the darknesse comprehended it not.
18    6 There was a man sent from
19God, whose name was Iohn.
20    7 The same came for a witnesse, to
21beare witnesse of the light, that all men
22through him might beleeue.
23    8 Hee was not that light, but was
24sent to beare witnesse of that light.
25    9 That was the true light, which
26lighteth euery man that commeth into
27the world.
28    10 Hee was in the world, and the
29world was made by him, and the
30world knew him not.
31    11 Hee came vnto his owne, and his
32owne receiued him not.
33    12 But as many as receiued him, to
34them gaue hee power to become the
35sonnes of God, euen to them that beleeue
36on his Name:
37    13 Which were borne, not of blood,
38nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will
39of man, but of God.
40    14 And the Word was made flesh,
41and dwelt among vs (& we beheld his
42glory, the glory as of the onely begotten
43of the Father) full of grace and trueth.
44    15 Iohn bare witnesse of him, and
45cried, saying, This was he of whom I
46spake, He that commeth after me, is preferred
47before me, for he was before me.
48    16 And of his fulnesse haue all wee
49receiued, and grace for grace.
50    17 For the Law was giuen by Moses,
51but grace and trueth came by Iesus
52Christ.
53    18 No man hath seene God at any
54time: the onely begotten Sonne, which
55is in the bosome of the Father, he hath
56declared him.
57    19 And this is the record of Iohn,
58when the Iewes sent Priests and Leuites
59from Hierusalem, to aske him,
60Who art thou?

chapter, verse I,20

61    20 And he confessed, and denied not:
62but confessed, I am not the Christ.
63    21 And they asked him, What then?
64Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am
65not. Art thou that Prophet? And hee
66answered, No.
67    22 Then said they vnto him, Who
68art thou, that we may giue an answere
69to them that sent vs? What sayest thou
70of thy selfe?
71    23 He said, I am the voice of one crying
72in the wildernesse: Make straight
73the way of the Lord, as said the Prophet
74Esaias.
75    24 And they which were sent, were
76of the Pharises.
77    25 And they asked him, and said vnto
78him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou
79be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither
80that Prophet?
81    26 Iohn answered them, saying, I
82baptize with water, but there standeth
83one among you, whom ye know not,
84    27 He it is, who comming after
85me, is preferred before me, whose shoes
86latchet I am not worthy to vnloose.
87    28 These things were done in Bethabara
88beyond Iordane, where
89Iohn was baptizing.
90    29 The next day, Iohn seeth Iesus
91comming vnto him, and saith, Behold
92the Lambe of God, which taketh
93away the sinne of the world.
94    30 This is he of whom I said, After
95me commeth a man, which is preferred
96before me: for he was before me.
97    31 And I knew him not: but that he
98should be made manifest to Israel, therfore
99am I come baptizing with water.
100    32 And Iohn bare record saying,
101I saw the Spirit descending from heauen,
102like a Doue, and it abode vpon him.
103    33 And I knew him not: but he that
104sent me to baptize with water, the same
105said vnto me, Vpon whom thou shalt
106see the Spirit descending, & remaining
107on him, the same is he which baptizeth
108with the holy Ghost.
109    34 And I saw, and bare record, that
110this is the sonne of God.
111    35 Againe the next day after, Iohn
112stood, and two of his disciples.
113    36 And looking vpon Iesus as he
114walked, he saith, Behold the Lambe of
115God.
116    37 And the two disciples heard him
117speake, and they followed Iesus.
118    38 Then Iesus turned, and saw
119them following, and saith vnto them,
120What seeke ye? They said vnto him,
121Rabbi, (which is to say being interpreted,
122Master) where dwellest thou?
123    39 He saith vnto them, Come and see.
124They came and saw where he dwelt,
125and abode with him that day: for it
126was about the tenth houre.

chapter, verse I,40

127    40 One of the two which heard
128Iohn speake, and followed him, was
129Andrew, Simon Peters brother.
130    41 He first findeth his owne brother
131Simon, and saith vnto him, We haue
132found the Messias, which is, being interpreted,
133the Christ.
134    42 And he brought him to Iesus.
135And when Iesus beheld him, he said,
136Thou art Simon the sonne of Iona,
137thou shalt be called Cephas, which is
138by interpretation, a stone.
139    43 The day following, Iesus
140would goe foorth into Galilee, & findeth
141Philip, & saith vnto him, Follow me.
142    44 Now Philip was of Bethsaida,
143the citie of Andrew and Peter.
144    45 Philip findeth Nathaneel, and
145saith vnto him, We haue found him of
146whom Moses in the Law, and the
147Prophets did write, Iesus of Nazareth
148the sonne of Ioseph.
149    46 And Nathaneel said vnto him,
150Can there any good thing come out of
151Nazareth? Philip saith vnto him,
152Come and see.
153    47 Iesus saw Nathaneel comming
154to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite
155indeed in whom is no guile.
156    48 Nathaneel sayeth vnto him,
157Whence knowest thou me? Iesus answered,
158and said vnto him, Before that
159Philip called thee, when thou wast vnder
160the figge tree, I saw thee.
161    49 Nathaneel answered, and saith
162vnto him, Rabbi, thou art the Sonne
163of God, thou art the king of Israel.
164    50 Iesus answered, and said vnto
165him, Because I said vnto thee, I saw
166thee vnder the figge tree, beleeuest thou?
167thou shalt see greater things then these.
168    51 And hee saith vnto him, Verily,
169verily I say vnto you, heereafter yee
170shall see heauen open, and the Angels
171of God ascending, and descending vpon
172the sonne of man.

177    And the third day there
178was a mariage in Cana of
179Galilee, and the mother of
180Iesus was there.
181    2 And both Iesus was
182called, and his disciples, to the mariage.
183    3 And when they wanted wine, the
184mother of Iesus saith vnto him, They
185haue no wine.
186    4 Iesus saith vnto her, Woman,
187what haue I to doe with thee? mine
188houre is not yet come.
189    5 His mother saith vnto y^e seruants,
190Whatsoeuer he saith vnto you, doe it.
191    6 And there were set there sixe water
192pots of stone, after the maner of the
193purifying of the Iewes, conteining
194two or three firkins apeece.
195    7 Iesus saith vnto them, Fill the
196water pots with water. And they filled
197them vp to the brimme.
198    8 And hee saith vnto them, Drawe
199out now, and beare vnto the gouernor
200of the feast. And they bare it.
201    9 When the ruler of the feast had
202tested the water that was made wine,
203and knew not whence it was, (but the
204seruants which drew the water knew)
205the gouernor of the feast called the bridegrome,
206    10 And saith vnto him, Euery man
207at the beginning doth set foorth good
208wine, and when men haue well drunke,
209then that which is worse: but thou hast
210kept the good wine vntill now.
211    11 This beginning of miracles did
212Iesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested
213forth his glory, and his disciples beleeued
214on him.
215    12 After this hee went downe to
216Capernaum, hee and his mother, and
217his brethren, and his disciples, and they
218continued there not many dayes.
219    13 And the Iewes Passeouer was
220at hand, & Iesus went vp to Hierusalem
221    14 And found in the Temple those
222that sold oxen, and sheepe, and doues,
223and the changers of money, sitting.
224    15 And when he had made a scourge
225of small cordes, he droue them all out of
226the Temple, and the sheepe & the oxen,
227and powred out the changers money,
228and ouerthrew the tables,
229    16 And said vnto them that sold doues
230Take these things hence, make not my
231fathers house an house of merchandize.
232    17 And his disciples remembred that
233it was written, The zeale of thine
234house hath eaten me vp.
235    18 Then answered the Iewes,
236and said vnto him, What signe shewest
237thou vnto vs, seeing that thou doest
238these things?
239    19 Iesus answered, and said vnto
240them, Destroy this temple, and in three
241dayes I will raise it vp.

chapter, verse II,20

242    20 Then said the Iewes, Fourty and
243six yeres was this Temple in building,
244and wilt thou reare it vp in three dayes?
245    21 But he spake of the temple of his
246body.
247    22 When therefore hee was risen
248from the dead, his disciples remembred
249that hee had said this vnto them: and
250they beleeued the Scripture, and the
251word which Iesus had said.
252    23 Now when hee was in Hierusalem
253at the Passeouer, in the feast day,
254many beleeued in his Name, when they
255saw the miracles which he did.
256    24 But Iesus did not commit himselfe
257vnto them, because he knew al men,
258    25 And needed not that any should
259testifie of man: for hee knew what was
260in man.

264INTRODUCTION OMITTED
265    There was a man of the
266Pharisees, named Nicodemus,
267a ruler of y^e Iewes:
268    2 The same came to Iesus
269by night, and said vnto
270him, Rabbi, wee know that thou art a
271teacher come from God: for no man
272can doe these miracles that thou doest,
273except God be with him.
274    3 Iesus answered, and said vnto
275him, Verily, verily I say vnto thee, except
276a man be borne againe, he cannot
277see the kingdome of God.
278    4 Nicodemus saith vnto him, How
279can a man be borne when he is old? can
280he enter the second time into his mothers
281wombe, and be borne?
282    5 Iesus answered, Verily, verily I
283say vnto thee, except a man be borne of
284water and of the spirit, he cannot enter
285into the kingdome of God.
286    6 That which is borne of the flesh,
287is flesh, and that which is borne of the
288spirit, is spirit.
289    7 Marueile not that I saide vnto
290thee, Ye must be borne againe.
291    8 The winde bloweth where it listeth,
292and thou hearest the sound thereof,
293but canst not tel whence it commeth,
294and whither it goeth: So is euery one
295that is borne of the Spirit.
296    9 Nicodemus answered, and said
297vnto him, How can these things be?
298    10 Iesus answered, and saide vnto
299him, Art thou a master of Israel, and
300knowest not these things?
301    11 Verely, verely I say vnto thee,
302We speake that we doe know, and testifie
303that wee haue seene; and yee receiue
304not our witnesse.
305    12 If I haue tolde you earthly
306things, and ye beleeue not: how shall ye
307beleeue if I tell you of heauenly things?
308    13 And no man hath ascended vp to
309heauen, but hee that came downe from
310heauen, euen the Sonne of man which
311is in heauen.
312    14 And as Moses lifted vp the
313serpent in the wildernesse: euen so must
314the Sonne of man be lifted vp:
315    15 That whosoeuer beleeueth in
316him, should not perish, but haue eternall
317life.
318    16 For God so loued y^e world, that
319he gaue his only begotten Sonne: that
320whosoeuer beleeueth in him, should
321not perish, but haue euerlasting life.
322    17 For God sent not his Sonne into
323the world to condemne the world:
324but that the world through him might
325be saued.
326    18 He that beleeueth on him, is not
327condemned: but hee that beleeueth not,
328is condemned already, because hee hath
329not beleeued in the Name of the onely
330begotten Sonne of God.
331    19 And this is the condemnation,
332that light is come into the world, and
333men loued darknesse rather then light,
334because their deedes were euill.

chapter, verse III,20

335    20 For euery one that doeth euill, hateth
336the light, neither commeth to the
337light, lest his deeds should be reproued.
338    21 But hee that doeth trueth, commeth
339to the light, that his deeds may be
340made manifest, that they are wrought
341in God.
342    22 After these things, came Iesus
343and his disciples into the land of Iudea,
344and there hee taried with them,
345and baptized.
346    23 And Iohn also was baptizing
347in Aenon, neere to Sallim, because there
348was much water there: and they came,
349and were baptized.
350    24 For Iohn was not yet cast into
351prison.
352    25 Then there arose a question between
353some of Iohns disciples and the
354Iewes, about purifying.
355    26 And they came vnto Iohn, and
356said vnto him, Rabbi, he that was with
357thee beyond Iordane, to whom thou
358barest witnesse, behold, the same baptizeth,
359and all men come to him.
360    27 Iohn answered, and said, A man
361can receiue nothing, except it be giuen
362him from heauen.
363    28 Ye your selues beare me witnesse,
364that I said, I am not the Christ, but
365that I am sent before him.
366    29 He that hath the bride, is the bridegrome:
367but the friend of the bridegrome,
368which standeth and heareth
369him, reioyceth greatly because of the
370bridegromes voice: This my ioy therefore
371is fulfilled.
372    30 Hee must increase, but I must decrease.
373    31 Hee that commeth from aboue, is
374aboue all: hee that is of the earth, is
375earthly, and speaketh of the earth: hee
376that co~meth from heauen is aboue all:
377    32 And what hee hath seene and
378heard, that he testifieth, and no man receiueth
379his testimony:
380    33 He that hath receiued his testimonie,
381hath set to his seale, that God is
382true.
383    34 For he whom God hath sent, speaketh
384the words of God: For God giueth
385not the Spirit by measure vnto him .
386    35 The Father loueth the Sonne,
387and hath giuen al things into his hand.
388    36 He that beleeueth on the Sonne,
389hath euerlasting life: and he that beleeueth
390not the Sonne, shall not see life:
391but the wrath of God abideth on him.

395INTRODUCTION OMITTED
396    When therefore the Lord
397knew how the Pharisees
398had heard that Iesus
399made and baptized moe
400disciples then Iohn,
401    2 (Though Iesus himselfe baptized
402not, but his disciples:)
403    3 He left Iudea, and departed againe
404into Galile.
405    4 And hee must needs goe thorow
406Samaria.
407    5 Then commeth he to a city of Samaria,
408which is called Sychar, neere
409to the parcell of ground that Iacob
410gaue to his sonne Ioseph.
411    6 Now Iacobs Well was there.
412Iesus therefore being wearied with
413his iourney, sate thus on the Well: and
414it was about the sixth houre.
415    7 There commeth a woman of
416Samaria to draw water: Iesus sayth
417vnto her, Giue me to drinke.
418    8 For his disciples were gone away
419vnto the city to buy meate.
420    9 Then saith the woman of Samaria
421vnto him, How is it that thou, being
422a Iewe, askest drinke of me, which
423am a woman of Samaria? For the
424Iewes haue no dealings with the Samaritanes.
425    10 Iesus answered, and said vnto
426her, If thou knewest the gift of God,
427and who it is that sayth to thee, Giue
428me to drinke; thou wouldest haue asked
429of him, and hee would haue giuen
430thee liuing water.
431    11 The woman saith vnto him, Sir,
432thou hast nothing to drawe with, and
433the Well is deepe: from whence then
434hast thou that liuing water?
435    12 Art thou greater then our father
436Iacob, which gaue vs the Well, and
437dranke thereof himselfe, and his children,
438and his cattell?
439    13 Iesus answered, and said vnto
440her, Whosoeuer drinketh of this water,
441shall thirst againe:
442    14 But whosoeuer drinketh of the
443water that I shal giue him, shall neuer
444thirst: but the water that I shall giue
445him, shalbe in him a well of water springing
446vp into euerlasting life.
447    15 The woman saith vnto him, Sir,
448giue me this water, that I thirst not,
449neither come hither to draw.
450    16 Iesus saith vnto her, Goe, call
451thy husband, and come hither.
452    17 The woman answered, and said,
453I haue no husband. Iesus said vnto
454her, Thou hast well said, I haue no
455husband:
456    18 For thou hast had fiue husbands,
457and he whom thou now hast, is not thy
458husband: In that saidest thou truely.
459    19 The woman saith vnto him, Sir,
460I perceiue that thou art a Prophet.

chapter, verse IV,20

461    20 Our fathers worshipped in this
462mountaine, and ye say, that in Hierusalem
463is the place where men ought to
464worship.
465    21 Iesus saith vnto her, Woman,
466beleeue me, the houre commeth when
467ye shall neither in this mountaine, nor
468yet at Hierusalem, worship the Father.
469    22 Ye worship ye know not what:
470we know what we worship: for saluation
471is of the Iewes.
472    23 But the houre commeth, and
473now is, when the true worshippers
474shall worship the Father in spirit, and
475in trueth: for the Father seeketh such
476to worship him.
477    24 God is a Spirit, and they that
478worship him, must worship him in spirit,
479and in trueth.
480    25 The woman saith vnto him, I
481know that Messias commeth, which is
482called Christ: when he is come, hee will
483tell vs all things.
484    26 Iesus sayth vnto her, I that
485speake vnto thee, am hee.
486    27 And vpon this came his disciples,
487and marueiled that he talked with
488the woman: yet no man said, What seekest
489thou, or, Why talkest thou with
490her?
491    28 The woman then left her waterpot,
492and went her way into the city,
493and sayth to the men,
494    29 Come, see a man, which tolde me
495all things that euer I did: Is not this
496the Christ?
497    30 Then they went out of the citie,
498and came vnto him.
499    31 In the meane while his disciples
500prayed him, saying, Master, eate.
501    32 But hee said vnto them, I haue
502meate to eate that ye know not of.
503    33 Therefore said the disciples one
504to another, Hath any man brought him
505ought to eate?
506    34 Iesus saith vnto them, My meat
507is, to doe the will of him that sent mee,
508and to finish his worke.
509    35 Say not ye, There are yet foure
510moneths, and then commeth haruest?
511Behold, I say vnto you, Lift vp your
512eyes, and looke on the fields: for they
513are white already to haruest.
514    36 And hee that reapeth receiueth
515wages, and gathereth fruite vnto life
516eternall: that both he that soweth, and
517he that reapeth, may reioyce together.
518    37 And herein is that saying true:
519One soweth, and another reapeth.
520    38 I sent you to reape that, whereon
521ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured,
522and yee are entred into their labours.
523    39 And many of the Samaritanes
524of that citie beleeued on him, for the saying
525of the woman, which testified, Hee
526told me all that euer I did.

chapter, verse IV,40

527    40 So when the Samaritanes were
528come vnto him, they besought him that
529he would tarie with them, and he abode
530there two dayes.
531    41 And many moe beleeued, because
532of his owne word:
533    42 And said vnto the woman, Now
534we beleeue, not because of thy saying,
535for we haue heard him our selues, and
536know that this is indeed the Christ, the
537Sauiour of the world.
538    43 Now after two dayes he departed
539thence, and went into Galilee:
540    44 For Iesus himselfe testified, that
541a Prophet hath no honour in his owne
542countrey.
543    45 Then when hee was come into
544Galilee, the Galileans receiued him, hauing
545seene all the things that hee did at
546Hierusalem at the Feast: for they also
547went vnto the Feast.
548    46 So Iesus came againe into Cana
549of Galilee, where hee made the water
550wine. And there was a certaine
551noble man, whose sonne was sicke at
552Capernaum.
553    47 When he heard that Iesus was
554come out of Iudea into Galilee, hee
555went vnto him, and besought him that
556he would come downe, and heale his
557sonne: for he was at the point of death.
558    48 Then said Iesus vnto him, Except
559ye see signes and wonders, yee will
560not beleeue.
561    49 The noble man saith vnto him,
562Syr, come downe ere my child die.
563    50 Iesus saith vnto him, Go thy way,
564thy sonne liueth. And the man beleeued
565the word that Iesus had spoken vnto
566him, and he went his way.
567    51 And as he was now going down,
568his seruants met him, and told him, saying,
569Thy sonne liueth.
570    52 Then inquired hee of them the
571houre when he began to amend: and
572they said vnto him, Yesterday at the seuenth
573houre the feuer left him.
574    53 So the father knewe that it was
575at the same houre, in the which Iesus
576said vnto him, Thy sonne liueth, and
577himselfe beleeued, and his whole house.
578    54 This is againe the second miracle
579that Iesus did, when hee was come
580out of Iudea into Galilee.

585    After this there was a
586feast of the Iewes, and
587Iesus went vp to Hierusalem.
588    2 Now there is at Hierusalem
589by the sheepe market , a poole,
590which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda ,
591hauing fiue porches.
592    3 In these lay a great multitude of
593impotent folke, of blind, halt, withered,
594waiting for the mouing of the water.
595    4 For an Angel went downe at a
596certaine season into the poole, and troubled
597the water: whosoeuer then first after
598the troubling of the water stepped
599in, was made whole of whatsoeuer disease
600he had.
601    5 And a certaine man was there,
602which had an infirmitie thirtie and
603eight yeeres.
604    6 When Iesus saw him lie, & knew
605that hee had beene now a long time in
606that case, he sayth vnto him, Wilt thou
607be made whole?
608    7 The impotent man answered
609him, Sir, I haue no man when the
610water is troubled, to put mee into the
611poole: but while I am comming, another
612steppeth downe before me.
613    8 Iesus sayth vnto him, Rise, take
614vp thy bed, and walke.
615    9 And immediatly the man was
616made whole, and tooke vp his bed, and
617walked: And on the same day was the
618Sabbath.
619    10 The Iewes therefore said vnto
620him that was cured, It is the Sabbath
621day, it is not lawfull for thee to
622cary thy bed.
623    11 He answered them, He that made
624me whole, the same said vnto me, Take
625vp thy bed, and walke?
626    12 Then asked they him, What man
627is that which said vnto thee, Take vp
628thy bed, and walke?
629    13 And he that was healed, wist not
630who it was: for Iesus had conueyed
631himselfe away, a multitude being in
632that place.
633    14 Afterward Iesus findeth him in
634the Temple, & said vnto him, Behold,
635thou art made whole: sinne no more,
636lest a worse thing come vnto thee.
637    15 The man departed, and tolde the
638Iewes that it was Iesus which had
639made him whole.
640    16 And therefore did the Iewes persecute
641Iesus, and sought to slay him,
642because he had done these things on the
643Sabbath day.
644    17 But Iesus answered them, My
645Father worketh hitherto, & I worke.
646    18 Therefore the Iewes sought the
647more to kill him, not onely because hee
648had broken the Sabbath, but said also,
649that God was his father, making himselfe
650equall with God.
651    19 Then answered Iesus, and saide
652vnto them, Verily, verily I say vnto
653you, The sonne can doe nothing of himselfe,
654but what he seeth the Father doe:
655for what things soeuer he doeth, these
656also doth the sonne likewise.

chapter, verse V,20

657    20 For the father loueth the sonne,
658and sheweth him all things that himselfe
659doth: & he will shew him greater
660works then these, that ye may marueile.
661    21 For as the Father raiseth vp the
662dead, and quickeneth them: euen so the
663Sonne quickeneth whom he will.
664    22 For the Father iudgeth no man:
665but hath committed all iudgement vnto
666the Sonne:
667    23 That all men should honour the
668Son, euen as they honour the Father.
669He that honoureth not y^e Sonne, honoreth
670not y^e Father which hath sent him.
671    24 Verily, verily I say vnto you,
672Hee that heareth my word, & beleeueth
673on him that sent mee, hath euerlasting
674life, and shall not come into condemnation:
675but is passed from death vnto life.
676    25 Verily, verily I say vnto you, The
677houre is comming, & now is, when the
678dead shall heare the voice of the Sonne
679of God: and they that heare, shall liue.
680    26 For as the Father hath life in
681himselfe: so hath he giuen to the Sonne
682to haue life in himselfe:
683    27 And hath giuen authority to
684execute iudgement also, because he is the
685Sonne of man.
686    28 Marueile not at this: for the
687houre is comming, in the which all that
688are in the graues shall heare his voice,
689    29 And shall come foorth, they that
690haue done good, vnto the resurrection
691of life, and they that haue done euill, vnto
692the resurrection of damnation.
693    30 I can of mine owne selfe doe nothing:
694as I heare, I iudge: and my
695iudgement is iust, because I seeke not
696mine owne will, but the will of the Father,
697which hath sent me.
698    31 If I beare witnesse of my selfe,
699my witnesse is not true.
700    32 There is another that beareth
701witnesse of me, & I know that the witnesse
702which he witnesseth of me, is true.
703    33 Ye sent vnto Iohn, and he bare
704witnesse vnto the trueth.
705    34 But I receiue not testimonie
706from man: but these things I say, that
707ye might be saued.
708    35 He was a burning and a shining
709light: and ye were willing for a season
710to reioyce in his light.
711    36 But I haue greater witnesse
712then that of Iohn: for the workes
713which the Father hath giuen me to finish,
714the same workes that I doe, beare
715witnesse of mee, that the Father hath
716sent me.
717    37 And the Father himselfe which
718hath sent me, hath borne witnesse of
719me. Ye haue neither heard his voyce at
720any time, nor seene his shape.
721    38 And ye haue not his word abiding
722in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye
723beleeue not.
724    39 Search the Scriptures, for in
725them ye thinke ye haue eternall life, and
726they are they which testifie of me.

chapter, verse V,40

727    40 And ye will not come to me, that
728ye might haue life.
729    41 I receiue not honour from men.
730    42 But I know you, that ye haue
731not the loue of God in you.
732    43 I am come in my Fathers name,
733and ye receiue me not: if another shall
734come in his owne Name, him ye will
735receiue.
736    44 How can ye beleeue, which receiue
737honour one of another, & seeke not
738the honour that commeth from God
739onely?
740    45 Doe not thinke that I will accuse
741you to the Father: there is one that
742accuseth you, euen Moses, in whom ye
743trust?
744    46 For had ye beleeued Moses, ye
745would haue beleeued me: for he wrote
746of me.
747    47 But if ye beleeue not his writings,
748how shall ye beleeue my words?

752INTRODUCTION OMITTED
753    After these things Iesus
754went ouer the sea of Galilee,
755which is the sea of
756Tiberias:
757    2 And a great multitude
758followed him, because they saw his
759miracles which hee did on them that
760were diseased.
761    3 And Iesus went vp into a mountaine,
762and there hee sate with his
763disciples.
764    4 And the Passeouer, a feast of the
765Iewes, was nigh.
766    5 When Iesus then lift vp his
767eyes, and saw a great company come
768vnto him, he saith vnto Philip, Whence
769shall we buy bread, that these may eate?
770    6 (And this he said to proue him: for
771he himselfe knew what he would doe)
772    7 Philip answered him, Two hundred
773peny-worth of bread is not sufficient
774for them, that euery one of them
775may take a litle.
776    8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon
777Peters brother, saith vnto him,
778    9 There is a lad here, which hath
779fiue barley loaues, and two small
780fishes: but what are they among so
781many?
782    10 And Iesus said, Make the men sit
783downe. Now there was much grasse
784in the place. So the men sate downe, in
785number about fiue thousand.
786    11 And Iesus tooke the loaues, and
787when he had giuen thankes, hee distributed
788to the disciples, and the disciples
789to them that were set downe, and likewise
790of the fishes, as much as they
791would.
792    12 When they were filled, he said vnto
793his disciples, Gather vp the fragments
794that remaine, that nothing be lost.
795    13 Therefore they gathered them
796together, and filled twelue baskets with
797the fragments of the fiue barley loaues,
798which remained ouer and aboue, vnto
799them that had eaten.
800    14 Then those men, when they had
801seene the miracle that Iesus did, said,
802This is of a trueth that Prophet that
803should come into the world.
804    15 When Iesus therefore perceiued
805that they would come and take
806him by force, to make him a King, hee
807departed againe into a mountaine,
808himselfe alone.
809    16 And when euen was now come,
810his disciples went downe vnto the sea,
811    17 And entred into a ship, and went
812ouer the sea towards Capernaum: and
813it was now darke, and Iesus was not
814come to them.
815    18 And the sea arose, by reason of a
816great winde that blew.
817    19 So when they had rowed about
818fiue and twentie, or thirtie furlongs,
819they see Iesus walking on the sea, and
820drawing nigh vnto the ship: and they
821were afraid.

chapter, verse VI,20

822    20 But he saith vnto them, It is I,
823be not afraid.
824    21 Then they willingly receiued him
825 into the ship, and immediatly the ship
826was at the land whither they went.
827    22 The day following, when the
828people which stood on the other side of
829the sea, saw that there was none other
830boat there, saue that one whereinto his
831disciples were entred, and that Iesus
832went not with his disciples into the
833boat, but that his disciples were gone
834away alone:
835    23 Howbeit there came other boats
836from Tiberias, nigh vnto the place
837where they did eate bread, after that the
838Lord had giuen thankes:
839    24 When the people therefore saw
840that Iesus was not there, neither
841his disciples, they also tooke shipping,
842and came to Capernaum, seeking for
843Iesus.
844    25 And when they had found him
845on the other side of the sea, they saide
846vnto him, Rabbi, when camest thou
847hither?
848    26 Iesus answered them, and said,
849Verely, verely I say vnto you, Ye seeke
850me, not because ye saw the miracles, but
851because yee did eate of the loaues, and
852were filled.
853    27 Labour not for the meat which
854perisheth, but for that meat which endureth
855vnto euerlasting life, which the
856Sonne of man shall giue vnto you: for
857him hath God the Father sealed.
858    28 Then said they vnto him, What
859shall we doe, that we might worke the
860workes of God?
861    29 Iesus answered, and said vnto
862them, This is the worke of God, that
863ye beleeue on him whom he hath sent.
864    30 They said therefore vnto him,
865What signe shewest thou then, that we
866may see, and beleeue thee? What doest
867thou worke?
868    31 Our fathers did eate Manna in
869the desert, as it is written, He gaue
870them bread from heauen to eate.
871    32 Then Iesus said vnto them, Verely,
872verely I say vnto you, Moses gaue
873you not that bread from heauen, but
874my Father giueth you the true bread
875from heauen.
876    33 For the bread of God is hee which
877commeth downe from heauen, and giueth
878life vnto the world.
879    34 Then said they vnto him, Lord,
880euermore giue vs this bread.
881    35 And Iesus said vnto them, I am
882the bread of life: hee that commeth to
883me, shall neuer hunger: and he that beleeueth
884on me, shall neuer thirst.
885    36 But I said vnto you, that ye also
886haue seene me, and beleeue not.
887    37 All that the Father giueth mee,
888shall come to mee; and him that commeth
889to me, I will in no wise cast out.
890    38 For I came downe from heauen,
891not to doe mine owne will, but the will
892of him that sent me.
893    39 And this is the Fathers wil which
894hath sent me, that of all which he hath
895giuen mee, I should lose nothing, but
896should raise it vp againe at the last day

chapter, verse VI,40

897    40 And this is the will of him that
898sent me, that euery one which seeth the
899Sonne, and beleeueth on him, may
900haue euerlasting life: and I will raise
901him vp at the last day.
902    41 The Iewes then murmured at
903him, because hee said, I am the bread
904which came downe from heauen.
905    42 And they said, Is not this Iesus
906the sonne of Ioseph, whose father
907and mother we know? How is it then
908that hee sayth, I came downe from
909heauen?
910    43 Iesus therefore answered, and
911said vnto them, Murmure not among
912your selues.
913    44 No man can come to me, except
914the Father which hath sent me, draw
915him: and I will raise him vp at the
916last day.
917    45 It is written in the Prophets,
918And they shall be all taught of God. Euery
919man therefoetherefore that hath heard,
920and hath learned of the Father, commeth
921vnto me,
922    46 Not that any man hath seene the
923Father; saue hee which is of God, hee
924hath seene the Father.
925    47 Verely, verely I say vnto you,
926 Hee that beleeueth on me, hath euerlasting
927life.
928    48 I am that bread of life.
929    49 Your fathers did eate Manna in
930the wildernesse, and are dead.
931    50 This is the bread which commeth
932downe from heauen, that a man may
933eate thereof, and not die.
934    51 I am the liuing bread, which came
935downe from heauen. If any man eate
936of this bread, he shall liue for euer: and
937the bread that I will giue, is my flesh,
938which I will giue for the life of the
939world.
940    52 The Iewes therefore stroue amongst
941themselues, saying, How can
942this man giue vs his flesh to eate?
943    53 Then Iesus sayd vnto them,
944Verely, verely I say vnto you, Except
945yee eate the flesh of the sonne of man,
946and drinke his blood, yee haue no life
947in you.
948    54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh
949my blood, hath eternall life, and
950I will raise him vp at the last day.
951    55 For my flesh is meate indeed, and
952my blood is drinke indeed.
953    56 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh
954my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
955    57 As the liuing Father hath sent
956me, and I liue by the Father: so, he that
957eateth me, euen he shall liue by me.
958    58 This is that bread which came
959downe from heauen: not as your fathers
960did eate Manna, and are dead: he
961that eateth of this bread, shall liue for
962euer.
963    59 These things said hee in the Synagogue,
964as he taught in Capernaum.

chapter, verse VI,60

965    60 Many therefore of his disciples,
966when they had heard this , said, This is
967an hard saying, who can heare it?
968    61 When Iesus knew in himselfe,
969that his disciples murmured at it, hee
970said vnto them, Doeth this offend you?
971    62 What and if yee shall see the
972sonne of man ascend vp where hee was
973before?
974    63 It is the Spirit that quickeneth,
975the flesh profiteth nothing: the wordes
976that I speake vnto you, they are Spirit,
977and they are life.
978    64 But there are some of you that
979beleeue not. For Iesus knew from the
980beginning, who they were that beleeued
981not, and who should betray him.
982    65 And he said, Therefore said I vnto
983you, that no man can come vnto me,
984except it were giuen vnto him of my
985Father.
986    66 From that time many of his
987disciples went backe, and walked no
988more with him.
989    67 Then said Iesus vnto the twelue,
990Will ye also goe away?
991    68 Then Simon Peter answered
992him, Lord, to whom shall we goe?
993Thou hast the words of eternall life.
994    69 And we beleeue and are sure that
995thou art that Christ, the Sonne of the
996liuing God.
997    70 Iesus answered them, Haue not
998I chosen you twelue, and one of you is
999a deuill?
1000    71 He spake of Iudas Iscariot the
1001sonne of Simon: for hee it was that
1002should betray him, being one of the
1003twelue.

1007INTRODUCTION OMITTED
1008    After these things, Iesus
1009walked in Galilee: for hee
1010would not walk in Iurie,
1011because the Iewes sought
1012to kill him.
1013    2 Now the Iewes feast of Tabernacles
1014was at hand.
1015    3 His brethren therefore saide vnto
1016him, Depart hence, and go into Iudea,
1017that thy Disciples also may see the
1018works that thou doest.
1019    4 For there is no man that doth any
1020thing in secret, and hee himselfe seeketh
1021to be knowen openly: If thou doe
1022these things, shew thy selfe to y^e world.
1023    5 For neither did his brethren beleeue
1024in him.
1025    6 Then Iesus said vnto them, My
1026time is not yet come: but your time is
1027alway ready.
1028    7 The world cannot hate you, but
1029me it hateth, because I testifie of it, that
1030the workes therof are euill.
1031    8 Goe ye vp vnto this feast: I goe
1032not vp yet vnto this feast, for my time
1033is not yet full come.
1034    9 When he had said these words vnto
1035them, he abode still in Galilee.
1036    10 But when his brethren were
1037gone vp, then went he also vp vnto the
1038feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.
1039    11 Then the Iewes sought him at
1040the feast, and said, Where is he?
1041    12 And there was much murmuring
1042among the people, concerning him: For
1043some said, Hee is a good man: Others
1044said, Nay, but he deceiueth the people.
1045    13 Howbeit, no man spake openly of
1046him, for feare of the Iewes.
1047    14 Now about the middest of the
1048feast, Iesus went vp into the Temple,
1049and taught.
1050    15 And the Iewes marueiled, saying,
1051How knoweth this man letters, hauing
1052neuer learned?
1053    16 Iesus answered them, My doctrine
1054is not mine, but his that sent me.
1055    17 If any man will doe his will, he
1056shall know of the doctrine, whether it
1057be of God, or whether I speake of my
1058selfe.
1059    18 He that speaketh of himselfe, seeketh
1060his owne glory: but he that seeketh
1061his glory that sent him, the same is true,
1062and no vnrighteousnesse is in him.
1063    19 Did not Moses giue you the Law,
1064and yet none of you keepeth the Law?
1065Why goe ye about to kill me?

chapter, verse VII,20

1066    20 The people answered, and sayd,
1067Thou hast a deuill: Who goeth about
1068to kill thee?
1069    21 Iesus answered, and saide vnto
1070them, I haue done one worke, and yee
1071all marueile.
1072    22 Moses therefore gaue vnto you
1073Circumcision (not because it is of Moses,
1074but of the fathers) and yee on the
1075Sabbath day circumcise a man.
1076    23 If a man on the Sabbath day receiue
1077circumcision, that the Lawe of
1078Moses should not be broken; Are ye angry
1079at me, because I haue made a man
1080euery whit whole on the Sabbath day?
1081    24 Iudge not according to the appearance,
1082but iudge righteous iudgement.
1083    25 Then said some of them of Hierusalem,
1084Is not this hee, whome they
1085seeke to kill?
1086    26 But loe, he speaketh boldly, and
1087they say nothing vnto him: Doe the
1088rulers know indeede that this is the
1089very Christ?
1090    27 Howbeit wee know this man
1091whence he is: but when Christ commeth,
1092no man knoweth whence he is.
1093    28 Then cried Iesus in the Temple
1094as he taught, saying, Ye both know me,
1095and ye know, whence I am, and I am
1096not come of my selfe, but he that sent me,
1097is true, whom ye know not.
1098    29 But I know him, for I am from
1099him, and he hath sent me.
1100    30 Then they sought to take him:
1101but no man laid hands on him, because
1102his houre was not yet come.
1103    31 And many of the people beleeued
1104on him, & said, When Christ commeth,
1105will hee doe moe miracles then these
1106which this man hath done?
1107    32 The Pharisees heard that the
1108people murmured such things concerning
1109him: And the Pharisees and the
1110chiefe Priests sent officers to take him.
1111    33 Then said Iesus vnto them, Yet
1112a litle while am I with you, and then
1113I goe vnto him that sent me.
1114    34 Ye shall seeke me, and shall not
1115find me: and where I am, thither yee
1116cannot come.
1117    35 Then saide the Iewes among
1118themselues, Whither will hee goe, that
1119we shall not find him? Will he goe vnto
1120the dispersed among the Gentiles, and
1121teach the Gentiles?
1122    36 What maner of saying is this that
1123he said, Ye shall seeke me, and shall not
1124find me? and where I am, thither ye
1125cannot come?
1126    37 In the last day, that great day of
1127the feast, Iesus stood, and cried, saying,
1128If any man thirst, let him come vnto
1129me, and drinke.
1130    38 He that beleeueth on me, as the
1131Scripture hath saide, out of his belly
1132shall flow riuers of liuing water.
1133    39 (But this spake he of the Spirit
1134which they that beleeue on him, should
1135receiue. For the holy Ghost was not yet
1136giuen , because that Iesus was not yet
1137glorified.)

chapter, verse VII,40

1138    40 Many of the people therefore,
1139when they heard this saying, saide, Of
1140a trueth this is the Prophet.
1141    41 Others said, This is the Christ.
1142But some said, Shall Christ come out
1143of Galilee?
1144    42 Hath not the Scripture saide,
1145that Christ commeth of the seede of
1146Dauid, and out of the towne of Bethelem,
1147where Dauid was?
1148    43 So there was a diuision among
1149the people because of him.
1150    44 And some of them would haue
1151taken him, but no man layed hands on
1152him.
1153    45 Then came the officers to the
1154chiefe Priests and Pharises, and they
1155said vnto them, Why haue ye not
1156brought him?
1157    46 The officers answered, Neuer
1158man spake like this man.
1159    47 Then answered them the Pharisees,
1160Are ye also deceiued?
1161    48 Haue any of the rulers, or of the
1162Pharises beleeued on him?
1163    49 But this people who knoweth
1164not the Law, are cursed.
1165    50 Nicodemus saith vnto them,
1166(He that came to Iesus by night, being
1167one of them,)
1168    51 Doth our Law iudge any man before
1169it heare him, & know what he doth?
1170    52 They answered, and said vnto
1171him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search,
1172and looke: for out of Galilee ariseth no
1173Prophet.
1174    53 And euery man went vnto his
1175owne house.

1179INTRODUCTION OMITTED
1180    Iesus went vnto y^e Mount
1181of Oliues:
1182    2 And earely in the
1183morning hee came againe
1184into the Temple, and all
1185the people came vnto him, and he sate
1186downe, and taught them.
1187    3 And the Scribes and Pharisees
1188brought vnto him a woman taken in
1189adultery, and when they had set her in
1190the mids,
1191    4 They say vnto him, Master, this
1192woman was taken in adultery, in the
1193very act.
1194    5 Now Moses in the Law commanded
1195vs, that such should be stoned:
1196but what sayest thou?
1197    6 This they said, tempting him,
1198that they might haue to accuse him. But
1199Iesus stouped downe, and with his finger
1200wrote on the ground as though he
1201heard them not.
1202    7 So when they continued asking
1203him, hee lift vp himselfe, and saide vnto
1204them, Hee that is without sinne
1205among you, let him first cast a stone
1206at her.
1207    8 And againe, hee stouped downe,
1208and wrote on the ground.
1209    9 And they which heard it, being
1210conuicted by their owne conscience,
1211went out one by one, beginning at the
1212eldest, euen vnto the last: and Iesus
1213was left alone, and the woman standing
1214in the midst.
1215    10 When Iesus had lift vp himselfe,
1216and saw none but the woman, hee said
1217vnto her, Woman, where are those
1218thine accusers? Hath no man condemned
1219thee?
1220    11 She saide, No man, Lord. And
1221Iesus saide vnto her, Neither doe I
1222condemne thee: Goe, and sinne no
1223more.
1224    12 Then spake Iesus againe vnto
1225them, saying, I am the light of the
1226world: he that followeth mee, shall not
1227walke in the darkenesse, but shall haue the
1228light of life.
1229    13 The Pharisees therefore said vnto
1230him, Thou bearest record of thy selfe,
1231thy record is not true.
1232    14 Iesus answered, and said vnto
1233them, Though I beare record of my
1234selfe, yet my record is true: for I know
1235whence I came, and whither I goe:
1236but ye cannot tell whence I come, and
1237whither I goe.
1238    15 Yee iudge after the flesh, I iudge
1239no man.
1240    16 And yet if I iudge, my iudgement
1241is true: for I am not alone, but I and
1242the Father that sent me.
1243    17 It is also written in your Law,
1244that the testimonie of two men is true.
1245    18 I am one that beare witnesse of
1246my selfe, and the Father that sent mee,
1247beareth witnesse of me.
1248    19 Then said they vnto him, Where
1249is thy Father? Iesus answered, Ye neither
1250know me, nor my Father: if ye had
1251knowen mee, yee should haue knowen
1252my Father also.

chapter, verse VIII,20

1253    20 These words spake Iesus in the
1254treasury, as hee taught in the Temple:
1255and no man layd hands on him, for his
1256houre was not yet come.
1257 21 Then saide Iesus againe vnto
1258them, I goe my way, and ye shall seeke
1259me, & shall die in your sinnes: Whither
1260I goe, ye cannot come.
1261    22 Then said the Iewes, Will hee
1262kill himselfe? because he saith, Whither
1263I goe, ye cannot come.
1264    23 And hee said vnto them, Yee are
1265from beneath, I am from aboue: Yee
1266are of this world, I am not of this
1267world.
1268    24 I said therefore vnto you, that ye
1269shall die in your sinnes. For if yee beleeue
1270not that I am hee, yee shall die in
1271your sinnes.
1272    25 Then said they vnto him, Who
1273art thou? And Iesus saith vnto them,
1274Euen the same that I saide vnto you
1275from the beginning.
1276    26 I haue many things to say, and
1277to iudge of you: But hee that sent mee
1278is true, and I speake to the world,
1279those things which I haue heard of
1280him.
1281    27 They vnderstood not that hee
1282spake to them of the Father.
1283    28 Then saide Iesus vnto them,
1284When yee haue lift vp the Sonne of
1285man, then shall ye know that I am he,
1286and that I doe nothing of my selfe: but
1287as my Father hath taught mee, I
1288speake these things.
1289    29 And he that sent me, is with me:
1290the Father hath not left mee alone: for
1291I doe alwayes those things that
1292please him.
1293    30 As hee spake those words, many
1294beleeued on him.
1295    31 Then said Iesus to those Iewes
1296which beleeued on him, If ye continue
1297in my word, then are yee my disciples
1298indeed.
1299    32 And ye shall know the Trueth,
1300and the Trueth shall make you free.
1301    33 They answered him, We be Abraham
1302seed, and were neuer in bondage
1303to any man: how sayest thou, Yee
1304shall be made free?
1305    34 Iesus answered them, Verily,
1306verily I say vnto you, Whosoeuer
1307committeth sinne, is the seruant of
1308sinne.
1309    35 And the seruant abideth not in
1310the house for euer: but the Sonne abideth
1311euer.
1312    36 If the Sonne therfore shall make
1313you free, ye shall be free indeed.
1314    37 I know that yee are Abrahams
1315seed, but ye seeke to kill mee, because my
1316word hath no place in you.
1317    38 I speake that which I haue seene
1318with my Father: and ye do that which
1319ye haue seene with your father.
1320    39 They answered, and said vnto
1321him, Abraham is our father. Iesus
1322sayth vnto them, If yee were Abrahams
1323children, ye would doe the works
1324of Abraham.

chapter, verse VIII,40

1325    40 But now yee seeke to kill me, a
1326man that hath tolde you the trueth,
1327which I haue heard of God: this did
1328not Abraham.
1329    41 Ye doe the deeds of your father.
1330Then said they to him, We be not borne
1331of fornication, wee haue one Father,
1332euen God.
1333    42 Iesus said vnto them, If God
1334were your Father, yee would loue me,
1335for I proceeded foorth, and came from
1336God: neither came I of my selfe, but
1337he sent me.
1338    43 Why doe yee not vnderstand my
1339speech? euen because yee cannot heare
1340my word.
1341    44 Ye are of your father the deuill,
1342and the lusts of your father ye will doe:
1343he was a murtherer from the beginning,
1344and abode not in the trueth, because
1345there is no truth in him. When he
1346speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his owne:
1347for he is a liar, and the father of it.
1348    45 And because I tell you the truth,
1349ye beleeue me not.
1350    46 Which of you conuinceth mee of
1351sinne? And if I say the trueth, why doe
1352ye not beleeue me?
1353    47 He that is of God, heareth Gods
1354words: ye therefore heare them not, because
1355ye are not of God.
1356    48 Then answered the Iewes, and
1357said vnto him, Say wee not well that
1358thou art a Samaritane, & hast a deuill?
1359    49 Iesus answered, I haue not a
1360deuill: but I honour my Father, and
1361ye doe dishonour me.
1362    50 And I seeke not mine owne glory,
1363there is one that seeketh & iudgeth.
1364    51 Verely, verely I say vnto you, If
1365a man keepe my saying, hee shall neuer
1366see death.
1367    52 Then said the Iewes vnto him,
1368Now we know that thou hast a deuill.
1369Abraham is dead, and the Prophets:
1370and thou sayest, If a man keepe my saying,
1371he shall neuer taste of death.
1372    53 Art thou greater then our father
1373Abraham, which is dead? and the Prophets
1374are dead: whom makest thou
1375thy selfe?
1376    54 Iesus answered, If I honour
1377my selfe, my honour is nothing: it is my
1378Father that honoureth me, of whom
1379ye say, that he is your God:
1380    55 Yet ye haue not knowen him, but
1381I know him: and if I should say, I
1382know him not, I shalbe a lyar like vnto
1383you: but I know him, and keepe his
1384saying.
1385    56 Your father Abraham reioyced to
1386see my day: and he saw it, & was glad.
1387    57 Then said the Iewes vnto him,
1388Thou art not yet fiftie yeeres olde, and
1389hast thou seene Abraham?
1390    58 Iesus said vnto them, Verely,
1391verely I say vnto you, Before Abraham
1392was, I am.
1393    59 Then tooke they vp stones to cast
1394at him: but Iesus hidde himselfe, and
1395went out of the Temple, going thorow
1396the midst of them, and so passed by.
1397

1400INTRODUCTION OMITTED
1401    And as Iesus passed by,
1402he saw a man which was
1403blinde from his birth.
1404 2 And his disciples asked
1405him, saying, Master,
1406who did sinne, this man, or his parents,
1407that he was borne blinde?
1408    3 Iesus answered, Neither hath
1409this man sinned, nor his parents, but
1410that the workes of God should be made
1411manifest in him.
1412    4 I must worke the workes of him
1413that sent me, while it is day: the night
1414commeth when no man can worke.
1415    5 As long as I am in the world,
1416I am the light of the world.
1417    6 When he had thus spoken, he spat
1418on the ground, and made clay of the
1419spettle, and he anointed the eyes of the
1420blinde man with the clay.
1421    7 And said vnto him, Goe, wash in
1422the poole of Siloam (which is by interpretation,
1423Sent.) He went his way therfore,
1424and washed, and came seeing.
1425     8 The neighbours therefore, and
1426they which before had seene him, that
1427he was blinde, said, Is not this he that
1428sate and begged?
1429    9 Some said, This is hee: others
1430said, Hee is like him: but hee sayd, I
1431am hee.
1432    10 Therefore said they vnto him,
1433How were thine eyes opened?
1434    11 He answered and said, A man that
1435is called Iesus, made clay, and anointed
1436mine eyes, and said vnto me, Goe to the
1437poole of Siloam, and wash: and I
1438went and washed, and I receiued sight.
1439    12 Then said they vnto him, Where
1440is he? He said, I know not.
1441    13 They brought to the Pharisees
1442him that aforetime was blind.
1443    14 And it was the Sabbath day
1444when Iesus made the clay, and opened
1445his eyes.
1446    15 Then againe the Pharisees also asked
1447him how he had receiued his sight.
1448He said vnto them, Hee put clay vpon
1449mine eyes, and I washed, and doe see.
1450    16 Therefore said some of the Pharisees,
1451This man is not of God, because
1452hee keepeth not the Sabbath day. Others
1453said, How can a man that is a sinner,
1454doe such miracles? and there was a
1455diuision among them.
1456    17 They say vnto the blind man againe,
1457What sayest thou of him, that he
1458hath opened thine eyes? He said, Hee is
1459a Prophet.
1460    18 But the Iewes did not beleeue
1461concerning him, that hee had bin blind,
1462and receiued his sight, vntill they called
1463the parents of him that had receiued
1464his sight.
1465    19 And they asked them, saying, Is
1466this your sonne, who ye say was borne
1467blind? how then doth he now see?

chapter, verse IX,20

1468    20 His parents answered them, and
1469said, We know that this is our sonne,
1470and that he was borne blind:
1471    21 But by what meanes he now seeth,
1472we know not, or who hath opened his
1473eyes we know not: hee is of age, aske
1474him, he shall speake for himselfe.
1475    22 These words spake his parents,
1476because they feared the Iewes: for the
1477Iewes had agreed already, that if any
1478man did confesse that he was Christ, he
1479should be put out of the Synagogue.
1480    23 Therefore said his parents, He is
1481of age, aske him.
1482    24 Then againe called they the man
1483that was blind, and said vnto him, Giue
1484God the praise, we know that this man
1485is a sinner.
1486    25 He answered, and said, Whether
1487he be a sinner or no, I know not: One
1488thing I know, that whereas I was
1489blind, now I see.
1490    26 Then saide they to him againe,
1491What did he to thee? How opened hee
1492thine eyes?
1493    27 He answered them, I haue told
1494you already, and ye did not heare: wherfore
1495would you heare it againe? Will ye
1496also be his disciples?
1497    28 Then they reuiled him, and said,
1498Thou art his disciple, but we are Moses
1499disciples.
1500    29 Wee know that God spake vnto
1501Moses: as for this fellow, we knowe
1502not from whence he is.
1503    30 The man answered, and said vnto
1504them, Why herein is a marueilous
1505thing, that ye know not from whence
1506he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes.
1507    31 Now we know that God heareth
1508not sinners: but if any man bee a worshipper
1509of God, and doth his will, him
1510he heareth.
1511    32 Since the world began was it not
1512heard that any man opened the eyes of
1513one that was borne blinde:
1514    33 If this man were not of God,
1515he could doe nothing.
1516    34 They answered, and saide vnto
1517him, Thou wast altogether borne in
1518sinnes, and doest thou teach vs? And
1519they cast him out.
1520    35 Iesus heard that they had cast
1521him out; and when hee had found him,
1522he said vnto him, Doest thou beleeue on
1523the Sonne of God?
1524    36 He answered and said, Who is he,
1525Lord, that I might beleeue on him?
1526    37 And Iesus said vnto him, Thou
1527hast both seene him, and it is he that talketh
1528with thee.
1529    38 And he said, Lord, I beleeue: and
1530he worshipped him.
1531    39 And Iesus said, For iudgement
1532I am come into this world, that they
1533which see not, might see, and that they
1534which see, might be made blind.

chapter, verse IX,40

1535    40 And some of the Pharisees
1536which were with him, heard these
1537words, and saide vnto him, Are wee
1538blinde also?
1539    41 Iesus saide vnto them, If yee
1540were blind, ye should haue no sinne: but
1541now ye say, We see, therfore your sinne
1542remaineth.

1546INTRODUCTION OMITTED
1547    Verily, verily I say vnto
1548you, He that entreth not
1549by y^e doore into the sheepefold,
1550but climeth vp some
1551other way, the same is a
1552theefe, and a robber.
1553    2 But hee that entreth in by the
1554doore, is the shepherd of the sheepe.
1555    3 To him the porter openeth, and
1556the sheepe heare his voyce, and he calleth
1557his owne sheepe by name, and leadeth
1558them out.
1559    4 And when he putteth foorth his
1560owne sheepe, he goeth before them, and
1561the sheepe follow him; for they know
1562his voyce.
1563    5 And a stranger will they not follow,
1564but will flee from him, for they
1565know not the voyce of strangers.
1566    6 This parable spake Iesus vnto
1567them: but they vnderstood not what
1568things they were which he spake vnto
1569them.
1570    7 Then said Iesus vnto them againe,
1571Verily, verily I say vnto you, I
1572am the doore of the sheepe.
1573    8 All that euer came before me, are
1574theeues and robbers: but the sheepe did
1575not heare them.
1576    9 I am the doore; by me if any man
1577enter in, he shall be saued, and shall goe
1578in and out, and find pasture.
1579    10 The theefe commeth not, but for
1580to steale and to kill, and to destroy: I
1581am come that they might haue life, and
1582that they might haue it more
1583abundantly.
1584    11 I am the good shepheard: the
1585good shepheard giueth his life for the
1586sheepe.
1587    12 But hee that is an hireling and
1588not the shepheard, whose owne the
1589sheepe are not, seeth the woolfe coming,
1590and leaueth the sheep, and fleeth:
1591and the woolfe catcheth them, and scattereth
1592the sheepe.
1593    13 The hireling fleeth, because he is
1594an hireling, & careth not for the sheepe.
1595    14 I am the good shepheard, and
1596know my sheepe, and am knowen of
1597mine.
1598    15 As the father knoweth me, euen
1599so know I the father: & I lay downe
1600my life for the sheepe.
1601    16 And other sheepe I haue, which
1602are not of this fold: them also I must
1603bring, and they shall heare my voyce;
1604and there shall be one fold, and one
1605shepheard.
1606    17 Therefore doth my father loue
1607me, because I lay downe my life that
1608I might take it againe.
1609    18 No man taketh it from me, but I
1610lay it downe of my selfe: I haue power
1611to lay it downe, and I haue power to
1612take it againe. This commandement
1613haue I receiued of my father.
1614    19 There was a diuision therefore
1615againe among the Iewes for these
1616sayings.

chapter, verse X,20

1617    20 And many of them said, He hath
1618a deuill, and is mad, why heare ye him?
1619    21 Others said, These are not the
1620words of him that hath a deuill. Can a
1621deuill open the eyes of the blind?
1622    22 And it was at Hierusalem the
1623feast of the dedication, & it was winter.
1624    23 And Iesus walked in the temple
1625in Solomons porch.
1626    24 Then came the Iewes round about
1627him, and said vnto him, How long
1628doest thou make vs to doubt? If thou
1629be the Christ, tell vs plainely.
1630    25 Iesus answered them, I told
1631you, and ye beleeued not: the workes
1632that I doe in my Fathers name, they
1633beare witnesse of me.
1634    26 But ye beleeue not, because ye are
1635not of my sheepe, as I said vnto you.
1636    27 My sheepe heare my voyce, and
1637I know them, and they follow me.
1638    28 And I giue vnto them eternall
1639life, and they shall neuer perish, neither
1640shall any man plucke them out of my
1641hand.
1642    29 My father which gaue them me,
1643is greater then all: and no man is able
1644to plucke them out of my fathers hand.
1645    30 I and my father are one.
1646    31 Then the Iewes tooke vp stones
1647againe to stone him.
1648    32 Iesus answered them, Many
1649good workes haue I shewed you from
1650my Father: for which of those workes
1651doe ye stone me?
1652    33 The Iewes answered him, saying,
1653For a good worke wee stone thee
1654not, but for blasphemy, and because that
1655thou, being a man, makest thy selfe
1656God.
1657    34 Iesus answered them, Is it not
1658written in your law, I said, ye are
1659gods?
1660    35 If hee called them gods, vnto
1661whom the word of God came, and the
1662Scripture cannot be broken.
1663    36 Say ye of him, whom the father
1664hath sanctified and sent into the world,
1665Thou blasphemest; because I said, I
1666am the Sonne of God?
1667    37 If I doe not the workes of my
1668Father, beleeue me not.
1669    38 But if I doe, though yee beleeue
1670not me, beleeue the works: that ye may
1671know and beleeue that the Father is in
1672me, and I in him.
1673    39 Therefore they sought againe to
1674take him: but hee escaped out of their
1675hand,

chapter, verse X,40

1676    40 And went away againe beyond
1677Iordane, into the place where Iohn
1678at first baptized: and there he abode.
1679    41 And many resorted vnto him,
1680and said, Iohn did no miracle: but all
1681things that Iohn spake of this man,
1682were true.
1683    42 And many beleeued on him there.

1687INTRODUCTION OMITTED
1688    Now a certaine man was
1689sicke, named Lazarus of
1690Bethanie, the towne of
1691Mary, and her sister
1692Martha.
1693    2 (It was that Mary which anoynted
1694the Lord with oyntment, and
1695wiped his feete with her haire, whose
1696brother Lazarus was sicke.)
1697    3 Therefore his sister sent vnto him,
1698saying, Lord, behold, hee whom thou
1699louest, is sicke.
1700    4 When Iesus heard that, hee said,
1701This sicknesse is not vnto death, but for
1702the glory of God, that the Sonne of
1703God might be glorified thereby.
1704    5 Now Iesus loued Martha, and
1705her sister, and Lazarus.
1706    6 When he had heard therefore that
1707he was sicke, he abode two dayes still in
1708the same place where he was.
1709    7 Then after that, saith hee to his
1710disciples, Let vs go into Iudea againe.
1711    8 His disciples say vnto him, Master,
1712the Iewes of late sought to stone
1713thee, and goest thou thither againe?
1714    9 Iesus answered, Are there not
1715twelue houres in the day? If any man
1716walke in the day, he stumbleth not,
1717because he seeth the light of this world.
1718    10 But if a man walke in the night,
1719hee stumbleth, because there is no light
1720in him.
1721    11 These things said hee, and after
1722that, hee saith vnto them, Our friend
1723Lazarus sleepeth, but I goe, that I
1724may awake him out of sleepe.
1725    12 Then said his disciples, Lord, if
1726he sleepe, he shall doe well.
1727    13 Howbeit Iesus spake of his
1728death: but they thought that hee had
1729spoken of taking of rest in sleepe.
1730    14 Then saide Iesus vnto them
1731plainly, Lazarus is dead:
1732    15 And I am glad for your sakes,
1733that I was not there (to the intent yee
1734may beleeue:) Neuerthelesse, let vs goe
1735vnto him.
1736    16 Then said Thomas, which is called
1737Didymus, vnto his fellow disciples,
1738Let vs also goe, that we may die
1739with him.
1740    17 Then when Iesus came, hee
1741found that hee had lien in the graue
1742foure dayes already.
1743    18 (Now Bethanie was nigh vnto
1744Hierusalem, about fifteene furlongs
1745off:)
1746    19 And many of the Iewes came to
1747Martha, and Mary, to comfort them
1748concerning their brother.

chapter, verse XI,20

1749    20 Then Martha, as soone as shee
1750heard that Iesus was comming, went
1751and met him: but Mary sate still in the
1752house.
1753    21 Then saide Martha vnto Iesus,
1754Lord, if thou hadst bene here, my brother
1755had not died.
1756    22 But I know, that euen now,
1757whatsoeuer thou wilt aske of God,
1758God will giue it thee.
1759    23 Iesus saith vnto her, Thy brother
1760shall rise againe.
1761    24 Martha sayeth vnto him, I
1762know that he shall rise againe in the resurrection
1763at the last day.
1764    25 Iesus said vnto her, I am the
1765resurrection, and the life: hee that beleeueth
1766in me, though he were dead, yet
1767shall he liue.
1768    26 And whosoeuer liueth, and beleeueth
1769in mee, shall neuer die. Beleeuest
1770thou this?
1771    27 She saith vnto him, Yea Lord,
1772I beleeue that thou art the Christ the
1773Sonne of God, which should come into
1774the world.
1775    28 And when shee had so said, shee
1776went her way, and called Mary her
1777sister secretly, saying, The Master
1778is come, and calleth for thee.
1779    29 Assoone as she heard that, she
1780arose quickely, and came vnto him.
1781    30 Now Iesus was not yet come into
1782the towne, but was in that place
1783where Martha met him.
1784    31 The Iewes then which were
1785with her in the house, and comforted
1786her, when they saw Mary that she rose
1787vp hastily, and went out, followed her,
1788saying, Shee goeth vnto the graue, to
1789weepe there.
1790    32 Then when Mary was come
1791where Iesus was, and saw him, shee
1792fell downe at his feete, saying vnto him,
1793Lord, if thou hadst beene here, my brother
1794had not dyed.
1795    33 When Iesus therefore sawe her
1796weeping, and the Iewes also weeping
1797which came with her, hee groned in the
1798Spirit, and was troubled,
1799    34 And said, Where haue ye laid him?
1800They say vnto him, Lord, come, & see.
1801    35 Iesus wept.
1802    36 Then said the Iewes, Behold,
1803how he loued him.
1804    37 And some of them said, Could
1805not this man, which opened the eyes
1806of the blinde, haue caused that euen this
1807man should not haue died?
1808    38 Iesus therefore againe groning
1809in himselfe, commeth to the graue. It
1810was a caue, and a stone lay vpon it.
1811    39 Iesus said, Take yee away the
1812stone. Martha, the sister of him that
1813was dead, sayth vnto him, Lord, by
1814this time he stinketh: for he hath beene
1815dead foure dayes.

chapter, verse XI,40

1816    40 Iesus saith vnto her, Said I not
1817vnto thee, that if thou wouldst beleeue,
1818thou shouldest see the glory of God?
1819    41 Then they tooke away the stone
1820from the place where the dead was laid.
1821And Iesus lift vp his eyes, and said,
1822Father, I thanke thee, that thou hast
1823heard me.
1824    42 And I knewe that thou hearest
1825me alwayes: but because of the people
1826which stand by, I said it, that they may
1827beleeue that thou hast sent me.
1828    43 And when hee thus had spoken,
1829he cryed with a loude voice, Lazarus,
1830come foorth.
1831    44 And he that was dead, came forth,
1832bound hand & foot with graue-clothes:
1833and his face was bound about with a
1834napkin. Iesus saith vnto them, Loose
1835him, and let him goe.
1836    45 Then many of the Iewes which
1837came to Mary, and had seene the things
1838which Iesus did, beleeued on him.
1839    46 But some of them went their
1840wayes to the Pharises, and tolde them
1841what things Iesus had done.
1842    47 Then gathered y^e chiefe Priests
1843and the Pharises a councell, and said,
1844What doe wee? for this man doeth many
1845miracles.
1846    48 If we let him thus alone, all men
1847will beleeue on him, and the Romanes
1848shall come, and take away both our
1849place and nation.
1850    49 And one of them named Caiaphas,
1851being the high Priest that same yeere,
1852said vnto them, Ye know nothing at all,
1853    50 Nor consider that it is expedient
1854for vs, that one man should die for the
1855people, and that the whole nation perish
1856not.
1857    51 And this spake he not of himselfe:
1858but being high Priest that yeere, he prophecied
1859that Iesus should die for that
1860nation:
1861    52 And not for that nation only, but
1862that also hee should gather together in
1863one, the children of God that were scattered
1864abroad.
1865    53 Then from that day foorth, they
1866tooke counsell together for to put him
1867to death.
1868    54 Iesus therefore walked no more
1869openly among the Iewes: but went
1870thence vnto a countrey neere to the wildernesse,
1871into a city called Ephraim, and
1872there continued with his disciples.
1873    55 And the Iewes Passeouer was
1874nigh at hand, and many went out of
1875the countrey vp to Hierusalem before
1876the Passeouer to purifie themselues.
1877    56 Then sought they for Iesus, and
1878spake among themselues, as they stood
1879in the Temple, What thinke ye, that he
1880will not come to the feast?
1881    57 Now both the chiefe Priests and
1882the Pharises had giuen a commandement,
1883that if any man knew where hee
1884were, he should shew it, that they might
1885take him.
