| 1 | But Jhesus wente in to the mount of Olyuete. |
| 2 | And eerli eft he cam in to the temple; and al the puple cam to hym; and he sat, and tauyte hem. |
| 3 | And scribis and Fariseis bryngen a womman takun in auoutrye, and thei settiden hir in the myddil, |
| 4 | and seiden to hym, Maystir, this womman is now takun in auoutrie. |
| 5 | And in the lawe Moises comaundide vs to stoone suche; therfor what seist thou? |
| 6 | And thei seiden this thing temptynge hym, that thei myyten accuse hym. And Jhesus bowide hym silf doun, and wroot with his fyngur in the erthe. |
| 7 | And whanne thei abiden axynge hym, he reiside hym silf, and seide to hem, He of you that is without synne, first caste a stoon in to hir. |
| 8 | And eft he bowide hym silf, and wroot in the erthe. |
| 9 | And thei herynge these thingis, wenten awei oon aftir anothir, and thei bigunnen fro the eldre men; and Jhesus dwelte aloone, and the womman stondynge in the myddil. |
| 10 | And Jhesus reiside hym silf, and seide to hir, Womman, where ben thei that accusiden thee? no man hath dampned thee. |
| 11 | Sche seide, No man, Lord. Jhesus seide `to hir, Nethir Y schal dampne thee; go thou, and now aftirward nyle thou synne more. |
| 12 | Therfor eft Jhesus spak to hem, and seide, Y am the liyt of the world; he that sueth me, walkith not in derknessis, but schal haue the liyt of lijf. |
| 13 | Therfor the Fariseis seiden, Thou berist witnessyng of thi silf; thi witnessyng is not trewe. |
| 14 | Jhesus answerde, and seide to hem, And if Y bere witnessyng of my silf, my witnessyng is trewe; for Y woot fro whennus Y cam, and whidur Y go. |
| 15 | But ye witen not fro whennus Y cam, ne whidur Y go. For ye demen aftir the fleisch, but Y deme no man; |
| 16 | and if Y deme, my doom is trewe, for Y am not aloone, but Y and the fadir that sente me. |
| 17 | And in youre lawe it is writun, that the witnessyng of twei men is trewe. |
| 18 | Y am, that bere witnessyng of my silf, and the fadir that sente me, berith witnessyng of me. |
| 19 | Therfor thei seiden to hym, Where is thi fadir? Jhesus answeride, Nether ye knowen me, nethir ye knowen my fadir; if ye knewen me, perauenture ye schulden knowe also my fadir. |
| 20 | Jhesus spak these wordis in the tresorie, techynge in the temple; and no man took hym, for his our cam not yit. |
| 21 | Therfor eft Jhesus seide to hem, Lo! Y go, and ye schulen seke me, and ye schulen die in youre synne; whidur Y go, ye moun not come. |
| 22 | Therfor the Jewis seiden, Whether he schal sle hym silf, for he seith, Whidur Y go, ye moun not come? |
| 23 | And he seide to hem, Ye ben of bynethe, Y am of aboue; ye ben of this world, Y am not of this world. |
| 24 | Therfor Y seide to you, that ye schulen die in youre synnes; for if ye bileuen not that Y am, ye schulen die in youre synne. |
| 25 | Therfor thei seiden to hym, Who art thou? Jhesus seide to hem, The bigynnyng, which also speke to you. |
| 26 | Y haue many thingis to speke, and deme of you, but he that sente me is sothefast; and Y speke in the world these thingis, that Y herde of hym. |
| 27 | And thei knewen not, that he clepide his fadir God. |
| 28 | Therfor Jhesus seith to hem, Whanne ye han areisid mannus sone, thanne ye schulen knowe, that Y am, and of my silf Y do no thing; but as my fadir tauyte me, Y speke these thingis. |
| 29 | And he that sente me is with me, and lefte me not aloone; for Y do euermore tho thingis, that ben plesynge to hym. |
| 30 | Whanne he spak these thingis, manye bileueden in hym. |
| 31 | Therfor Jhesus seide to the Jewis, that bileueden in hym, If ye dwellen in my word, verili ye schulen be my disciplis; |
| 32 | and ye schulen knowe the treuthe, and the treuthe schal make you fre. |
| 33 | Therfor the Jewis answeriden to hym, We ben the seed of Abraham, and we serueden neuere to man; hou seist thou, That ye schulen be fre? |
| 34 | Jhesus answeride to hem, Treuli, treuli, Y seie to you, ech man that doith synne, is seruaunt of synne. |
| 35 | And the seruaunt dwellith not in the hows with outen ende, but the sone dwellith with outen ende. |
| 36 | Therfor if the sone make you fre, verili ye schulen be fre. |
| 37 | Y woot that ye ben Abrahams sones, but ye seken to sle me, for my word takith not in you. |
| 38 | Y speke tho thingis, that Y say at my fadir; and ye doen tho thingis, that ye sayn at youre fadir. |
| 39 | Thei answerden, and seiden to hym, Abraham is oure fadir. Jhesus seith to hem, If ye ben the sones of Abraham, do ye the werkis of Abraham. |
| 40 | But now ye seken to sle `me, a man that haue spoken to you treuthe, that Y herde of God; Abraham dide not this thing. |
| 41 | Ye doen the werkis of youre fadir. Therfor thei seiden to hym, We ben not borun of fornycacioun; we han o fadir, God. |
| 42 | But Jhesus seith to hem, If God were youre fadir, sotheli ye schulden loue me; for Y passide forth of God, and cam; for nether Y cam of my silf, but he sente me. |
| 43 | Whi knowen ye not my speche? for ye moun not here my word. |
| 44 | Ye ben of the fadir, the deuel, and ye wolen do the desyris of youre fadir. He was a mansleere fro the bigynnyng, and he stood not in treuthe; for treuthe is not in hym. Whanne he spekith lesyng, he spekith of his owne; for he is a liere, and fadir of it. |
| 45 | But for Y seie treuthe, ye bileuen not to me. |
| 46 | Who of you schal repreue me of synne? if Y sey treuthe, whi bileuen ye not to me? |
| 47 | He that is of God, herith the wordis of God; therfor ye heren not, for ye ben not of God. |
| 48 | Therfor the Jewis answeriden, and seiden, Whether we seien not wel, that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a deuel? |
| 49 | Jhesus answerde, and seide, Y haue not a deuel, but Y onoure my fadir, and ye han vnhonourid me. |
| 50 | For Y seke not my glorye; there is he, that sekith, and demeth. |
| 51 | Treuli, treuli, Y seie to you, if ony man kepe my word, he schal not taste deth with outen ende. |
| 52 | Therfor the Jewis seiden, Now we han knowun, that thou hast a deuel. Abraham is deed, and the prophetis, and thou seist, If ony man kepe my word, he schal not taste deth withouten ende. |
| 53 | Whether thou art grettere than oure fader Abraham, that is deed, and the prophetis ben deed; whom makist thou thi silf? |
| 54 | Jhesus answeride, If Y glorifie my silf, my glorie is nouyt; my fadir, is that glorifieth me, whom ye seien, that he is youre God. |
| 55 | And ye han not knowun hym, but Y haue knowun hym; and if Y seie that Y knowe hym not, Y schal be a liere lich to you; but Y knowe hym, and Y kepe his word. |
| 56 | Abraham, youre fadir, gladide to se my dai; and he saiy, and ioyede. |
| 57 | Thanne the Jewis seiden to hym, Thou hast not yit fifti yeer, and hast thou seien Abraham? |
| 58 | Therfor Jhesus seide to hem, Treuli, treuli, Y seie to you, bifor that Abraham schulde be, Y am. |
| 59 | Therfor thei token stonys, to caste to hym; but Jhesus hidde hym, and wente out of the temple. |
