Many of his disciples when they had herde this sayde: this is an herde sayinge: who can abyde the hearinge of it?

Iesus knew in him selfe that his disciples murmured at it and sayde vnto them: Doth this offende you?

From that tyme many of his disciples wet backe and walked no moore with him.

His brethren therfore sayde vnto him: get ye hence and go into Iewry yt thy disciples maye se thy workes yt thou doest.

For as yet his brethre beleved not in him.

But assone as his brethren were goone vp then went he also vp vnto the feast: not openly but as it were prevely.

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

If eny man will do his will he shall knowe of the doctrine whether it be of God or whether I speake of my selfe.

He that speaketh of him selfe seketh his awne prayse. But he that seketh his prayse that sent him the same is true and no vnrightewesnes is in him.

Then they sought to take him: but no ma layde hondes on him because his tyme was not yet come.

He that beleveth on me as sayeth the scripture out of his belly shall flowe ryvers of water of lyfe.

And every man went vnto his awne housse.

And 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.

These 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.

They understode not that he spake of his father.

Ye 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.

and 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.

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

And his disciples axed him sayinge. Master who dyd synne: this man or his father and mother that he was borne blynde?

Iesus answered: Nether hath this man synned nor yet his father and mother: but that the workes of God shuld be shewed on him.
