The nexte daye after, the people which stode on the other syde of the see, sawe that there was none other shippe there saue that one, wherin to his disciples were entred: and that Iesus wete not in with his disciples in to the shippe, but yt his disciples were gone awaie alone.

Now whan the people sawe that Iesus was not there, nether his disciples, they toke shippe also, and came to Capernaum, and sought Iesus.

Then stroue the Iewes amonge them selues, and sayde: How ca this folowe geue vs his flesh to eate?

Iesus sayde vnto the: Verely verely I saye vnto you: Excepte ye eate ye flesh of ye sonne of man and drynke his bloude, ye haue no life in you.

Many now of his disciples that herde this, sayde: This is an harde sayenge, who maye abyde the hearynge of it?

But whan Iesus perceaued in hi self, that his discipes murmured ther at he sayde vnto them: Doth this offende you?

From that tyme forth, many of his disciples wente backe, and walked nomore with him.

Then sayde his brethren vnto him: Get the hece, and go into Iewry, that thy disciples also maye se thy workes, that thou doest.

For his awne brethren also beleued not in him.

But as soone as his brethren were gone vp, then wente he vp also vnto the feast, not openly, but as it were secretly.

Iesus answered them, and sayde: My doctryne is not myne, but his that hath sent me.

Yf eny man wyl do his will, he shal knowe, whether this doctryne be of God, or whether I speake of my self.

He that speaketh of himself, seketh his awne prayse: but he that seketh the prayse of him that sent him, the same is true, & there is no vnrighteousnes in him.

Then sought they to take him, but no mam layed handes vpon him, for his houre was not yet come.

He that beleueth on me, as the scripture sayeth, out of his body shal flowe ryuers of the water of life.

Thus was there discencion amonge the people for his sake.

This they sayde, to tempte him, that they might haue wherof to accuse him. But Iesus stouped downe, and wrote with his fynger vpo the grounde.

These wordes spake Iesus vpon the Godschest, as he taught in the teple. And noman toke him, for his houre was not yet come.

Ye are of the father the deuell, and after the lustes of youre father wyl ye do. The same was a murthurer from the begynnynge, and abode not in the trueth: for the trueth is not in him. Whan he speaketh a lye, then speaketh he of his awne: for he is a lyar, and a father of the same.

and ye knowe hi not: but I knowe him. And yf I shulde saye, I knowe him not, I shulde be a lyar, like vnto you. But I knowe him, and kepe his worde.
