The Woman Caught in Adultery

1And Iesus went vnto mounte Olivete 2and erly in ye mornynge came agayne into ye temple and all the people came vnto him and he sate doune and taught them. 3And the scribes and ye pharises brought vnto him a woman taken in advoutry and set hyr in the myddes 4and sayde vnto him: Master this woman was taken in advoutry even as the dede was a doyng. 5Moses in the lawe comaunded vs yt suche shuld be stoned. What sayest thou therfore? 6And this they sayde to tempt him: that they myght have wherof to accuse him. Iesus stouped doune and with his fynger wrote on the grounde. 7And whyll they continued axynge him he lyfte him selfe vp and sayde vnto them: let him yt is amoge you wt out synne cast the fyrst stone at her. 8And agayne he stouped doune and wrote on ye grounde. 9And assone as they hearde that they went out one by one the eldest fyrst. And Iesus was lefte a lone and the woman stondynge in ye myddes. 10When Iesus had lyfte vp him selfe agayne and sawe no man but the woman he sayde vnto hyr. Woman where are those thyne accusars? Hath no man condempned the? 11She sayde: No man Lorde. And Iesus sayde: Nether do I condempne the. Goo and synne no moare.

Jesus the Light of the World
(1 John 1:5–10)

12Then spake Iesus agayne vnto them sayinge: I am the light of the worlde. He that foloweth me shall not walke in darcknes: but shall have the light of lyfe. 13The pharises sayde vnto him: thou bearest recorde of thy sylfe thy recorde is not true. 14Iesus answered and sayde vnto them: Though I beare recorde of my selfe yet my recorde is true: for I knowe whece I came and whyther I goo. But ye cannot tell whece I come and whyther I goo. 15Ye iudge after ye flesshe. I iudge no man 16though I iudge yet is my iudgmet true. For I am not alone: but I and the father that sent me. 17It is also written in youre lawe that the testimony of two men is true. 18I am one yt beare witnes of my selfe and the father that sent me beareth witnes of me. 19Then sayde they vnto him: where is thy father? Iesus answered: ye nether knowe me nor yet my father. Yf ye had knowen me ye shuld have knowen my father also. 20These wordes spake Iesus in the tresury as he taught in the temple and no man layde hondes on him for his tyme was not yet come.

21Then sayde Iesus agayne vnto them. I goo my waye and ye shall seke me and shall dye in youre synnes. Whyther I goo thyther can ye not come. 22Then sayde the Iewes: will he kyll him selfe because he sayth: whyther I goo thyther can ye not come? 23And he sayde vnto the: ye are fro beneth I am from above. Ye are of this worlde I am not of this worlde. 24I sayde therfore vnto you that ye shall dye in youre synnes. For except ye beleve that I am he ye shall dye in yo ure synnes. 25Then sayde they vnto him who arte thou? And Iesus sayde vnto them: Even ye very same thinge yt I saye vnto you.

26I have many thinges to saye and to iudge of you. But he yt sent me is true. And I speake in ye worlde those thinges which I have hearde of him. 27They understode not that he spake of his father. 28Then sayde Iesus vnto them: when ye have lyft vp an hye the sonne of man then shall ye knowe that I am he and that I do nothinge of my selfe: but as my father hath taught me even so I speake: 29and he that sent me is with me. The father hath not lefte me alone for I do alwayes those thinges that please him.

The Truth Will Set You Free
(2 John 1:4–6)

30As he spake these wordes many beleved on him.

31Then sayde Iesus to those Iewes which beleved on him. If ye cotinue in my wordes then are ye my very disciples 32and shall knowe the trueth: and the trueth shall make you free. 33They answered him: We be Abrahams seede and were never bonde to eny man: why sayest thou then ye shalbe made fre.

34Iesus answered them: verely verely I saye vnto you that whosoever committeth synne is the servaunt of synne. 35And the servaunt abydeth not in the housse for ever: But ye sonne abydeth ever. 36If the sonne therfore shall make you fre then are ye fre in dede. 37I knowe that ye are Abrahams seed: But ye seke meanes to kyll me because my sayinges have no place in you. 38I speake that I have sene with my father: and ye do that which ye have sene with youre father.

39They answered and sayde vnto him: Abraham is oure father. Ie sus sayde vnto them. If ye were Abrahams chyldren ye wolde do the dedes of Abraham. 40But now ye goo about io kyll me a man that have tolde you the truthe which I have herde of god: this dyd not Abraham. 41Ye do the dedes of youre father. Then sayde they vnto him: we were not borne of fornicacion. We have one father which is God.

42Iesus sayde vnto them: yf God were youre father then wolde ye love me. For I proceaded forthe and come from God. Nether came I of my selfe but he sent me. 43Why do ye not knowe my speache? Even because ye cannot abyde the hearynge of my wordes. 44Ye are of youre father the devyll and the lustes of youre father ye will folowe. He was a murtherer from the beginnynge and aboode not in the trueth because ther is no trueth in him. When he speaketh a lye then speaketh he of his awne. For he is a lyar and the father therof. 45And because I tell you ye trueth therfore ye beleve me not. 46Which of you can rebuke me of synne? If I saye ye trueth why do not ye beleve me? 47He that is of God heareth goddes wordes Ye therfore heare them not because ye are not of God.

Before Abraham Was Born, I Am

48Then answered the Iewes and sayde vnto him: Saye we not well that thou arte a Samaritane and hast the devyll? 49Iesus answered: I have not the devyll: but I ho nour my father and ye have dishonoured me. 50I seke not myne awne prayse: but ther is one that seketh and iudgeth. 51Verely verely I saye vnto you yf a man kepe my sayinges he shall never se deeth. 52Then sayde the Iewes to him: Now knowe we that tho u hast the devyll. Abraha is deed and also the Prophetes: and yet thou sayest yf a man kepe my sayinge he shall never tast of deeth. 53Arte thou greater then oure father Abraham which is deed? and the Prophetes are deed. Whome makest thou thy selfe? 54Iesus answered: Yf I honoure my selfe myne honoure is nothinge worth. It is my father that honoureth me which ye saye is youre God 55and ye have not knowen him: but I knowe him. And yf I shuld saye I knowe him not I shuld be a lyar lyke vnto you. But I knowe him and kepe his sayinge. 56Youre father Abraham was glad to se my daye and he sawe it and reioysed. 57Then sayde the Iewes vnto him: thou arte not yet.l. yere olde and hast thou sene Abraham? 58Iesus sayd vnto them: Verely verely I saye vnto yo u: yer Abraham was I am. 59Then toke they vp stones to caste at him. But Iesus hid him selfe and went out of ye temple.
