Hee that beleeueth in mee, as saith the Scripture, out of his bellie shall flowe riuers of water of life.

And euery man wet vnto his owne house.

And this they saide to tempt him, that they might haue, whereof to accuse him. But Iesus stouped downe, & with his finger wrote on the groud.

These wordes spake Iesus in the treasurie, as hee taught in the Temple, and no man layde handes on him: for his houre was not yet come.

Ye are of your father the deuill, and the lustes of your father ye will doe: hee hath bene a murtherer from the beginning, and abode not in the trueth, because there is no trueth in him. When hee speaketh a lie, then speaketh hee of his owne: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.

Yet ye haue not knowen him: but I knowe him, and if I should say I know him not, I should be a liar like vnto you: but I knowe him, and keepe his worde.

Then tooke they vp stones, to cast at him, but Iesus hid himselfe, and went out of the Temple: And hee passed through the middes of them, and so went his way.

And as Iesus passed by, he sawe a man which was blinde from his birth.

And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sinne, this man, or his parents, that he was borne blinde?

Iesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents, but that the workes of God should be shewed on him.

And sayd vnto him, Go wash in the poole of Siloam (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came againe seeing.

And it was the Sabbath day, when Iesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.

Then the Iewes did not beleeue him (that he had bene blinde, and receiued his sight) vntill they had called the parents of him that had receiued sight.

His parents answered them, and sayd, We know that this is our sonne, & that he was borne blinde:

But by what meanes hee nowe seeth, we know not: or who hath opened his eyes, can we not tell: he is olde ynough: aske him: hee shall answere for himselfe.

These wordes spake his parents, because they feared the Iewes: for the Iewes had ordeined already, that if any man did confesse that he was Christ, he should be excommunicate out of the Synagogue.

Therefore sayde his parents, Hee is olde ynough: aske him.

Hee answered them, I haue tolde you already, and yee haue not heard it: wherefore would yee heare it againe? will yee also be his disciples?

Then reuiled they him, and sayd, Be thou his disciple: we be Moses disciples.

Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him heareth he.
