✚ In the midst of the feast / Jesus went up into the temple and taught. And the Jews ⟨p. Cxxxiii⟩marvelled saying: How knoweth he y• scriptures / seeing that he never learned? Jesus answered them / and said: My doctrine is not mine: but his that sent me. If any man will do his *will / he shall know of the doctrine / whether it be of God / or whether I speak of my self. He that speaketh of him self / seeketh his own praise. But he that seeketh his praise that sent him / the same is true / and no unrighteousness is in him.

Did not Moses give you a law / & yet none of you keepeth y• law? Why goo ye about to kill me? The people answered & said: thou hast the devil: who goeth about to kill thee? Jesus answered and said to them: I have done one work / and ye all marvel. Moses §D1therefore gave unto you circumcision: not because it is of Moses / but of the fathers.2 And yet ye on the Sabbath day / circumcise a man. If a man on the Sabbath day receive circumcision without breaking of the law of Moses: disdain ye at me / because I have3 made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day? Judge not after the utter appearance: but judge righteous judgement.
Dyd not Moses geve you a lawe / & yet none of you kepeth y• lawe? Why goo ye aboute to kyll me? The people answered & sayde: thou hast the devyll: who goeth aboute to kyll the? Iesus answered and sayde to them: I have done one worke / and ye all marvayle. Moses §D1therfore gave vnto you circumcision: not because it is of Moses / but of the fathers.2 And yet ye on the Saboth daye / circumcise a man. If a man on the Saboth daye receave circumcision without breakinge of the lawe of Moses: disdayne ye at me / because I have3 made a man every whit whoale on the saboth daye? Iudge not after the vtter aperaunce: but iudge rightewes iudgement.

Then said some of them of Jerusalem: Is not this he whom they goo about to kill? Behold he speaketh boldly / and they say nothing to him. Do the rulers know in deed / that this is very Christ? How be it we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh / no man shall know whence he is.
Then sayd some of them of Ierusalem: Is not this he whō they goo aboute to kyll? Beholde he speaketh boldly / and they saye nothinge to him. Do the rulars knowe in dede / that this is very Christ? How be it we knowe this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh / no man shall knowe whence he is.
Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught ⟨image 152⟩saying: ye know me / and whence I am ye know. And yet I am not come of my self / but he that sent me is true / whom ye know not. I know him: for I am of him / & he hath sent me. Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him / because his time was not yet come. Many of the people believed on him & said: when Christ cometh / will he do moo miracles then this man hath done?
Then cryed Iesus in ye temple as he taught ⟨image 152⟩sayinge: ye knowe me / and whence I am ye knowe. And yet I am not come of my selfe / but he yt sent me is true / whom ye knowe not.

Many of the people beleved on him & sayde: when Christ cometh / will he do moo miracles then this man hath done?
The pharisees heard that the people murmured such things about him. Wherefore y• pharisees and high priests sent ministers forth to take him. Then said Jesus unto them: Yet am I a little while with you / and then goo I unto him that sent me. Ye shall seek me / and shall not find me: and where I am / thither can ye not come. Then said the Jews between them selves: whither will he goo / that we shall not find him? Will he goo among the gentiles which are scattered all a broad / and teach the gentiles? What manner of saying is this that he said: ye shall seek me / and shall not find me: and where I am / thither can ye not come?
The pharises hearde that the people murmured suche thinges about him. Wherfore y• pharises and hye prestes sent ministres forthe to take him. Then sayde Iesus vnto thē: Yet am I a lytell whyle with you / and then goo I vnto him that sent me. Ye shall seke me / and shall not fynde me: and where I am / thyther can ye not come. Then sayde the Iewes bitwene thē selves: whyther will he goo / that we shall not fynde him? Will he goo amonge the gentyls which are scattered all a broade / and teache the gentyls? What maner of sayinge is this that he sayde: ye shall seke me / and shall not fynde me: and where I am / thyther can ye not come?
In the last day / that great day of the feast / Jesus stood and cried saying: If any man thirst / let him come unto me and drink. He that believeth on me / as sayeth the scripture / out1 of his belly shall flow rivers of water of life. This spake he of the spirit which they that believed on him / should receive. ✚ For the holy ghost was not yet there / because that Jesus was not yet glorified.

✚ Many of the people / when they heard this saying said: of a truth this is a prophet Other said: this is Christ. Some said: shall Christ come out of Galilee?

Then came the ministers to the high priests & §Gpharisees. And they said unto them: why have ye not brought him? The servant answered never man spake as this man doeth. Then answered them the pharisees: are ye also deceived?1 Doth any of the rulers or of the pharisees believe on him? But the common people which know not the law / are cursed. Nicodemus said unto them: He that came to Jesus by night / and was one of them. Doth our law judge any man / before it hear him / & know what he hath done? They answered & said unto him: art thou also of Galilee? Search and look / for out of Galilee ariseth no Prophet. And every man went unto his own house. ⊢

And Jesus went unto mount Olivet & early in the morning came again in §Ato the temple & all the people came unto him / & he sate down & taught them. And the scribes & y• pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery / & set her in the midst and said unto him: Master / this woman ⟨image 153⟩was taken in adultery / even as the deed was a doing. Moses in the law commanded us y• such should be stoned. What sayest thou therefore?1 And this they said to tempt him: that they might have / whereof to accuse him. Jesus stooped down / & with his finger wrote on the ground. And while they continued ••ynge him / he lift him self up / & said unto them: let him that is among you with out sin cast the first stone at her. And again he stooped down & wrote on y• ground. And as soon2 as they heard that / they went out one by one the eldest first. And Jesus was left a lone / & the woman standing in yt midst. When Jesus had lift up him self again / and saw no man but the woman / he said unto her. Woman / where are those thine accusers? Hath no man condemned thee? She said: No man Lord. And Jesus said: Nether do I condemn thee. Goo / & sin no more. ⊢
ANd Iesus went vnto mounte Olivete & erly in ye mornynge came agayne in §Ato ye temple & all the people came vnto him / & he sate doune & taught them. And the scribes & y• pharises brought vnto him a woman taken in advoutry / & set hyr in the myddes and sayde vnto him: Master / this woman ⟨image 153⟩was taken in advoutry / even as the dede was a doyng. Moses in the lawe cōmaunded vs y• suche shuld be stoned. What sayest thou therfore?1 And this they sayde to tempt him: that they myght have / wherof to accuse him. Iesus stouped doune / & with his fynger wrote on the grounde. And whyll they continued ••ynge him / he lyfte him selfe vp / & sayde vnto them: let him yt is amōge you wt out synne cast the fyrst stone at her. And agayne he stouped doune & wrote on y• grounde.

Then spake Jesus again unto them saying:§B 1I am the light of the world. He that followeth me shall not walk in darkness: but shall have the light of life. The pharisees said unto him: thou bearest record of thy self thy record is not true. Jesus answered & said unto them: Though I bear record of myself yet my record is true: for I know whence I came & whither I goo. But ye cannot tell whence I come / & whither I goo. Ye judge after y• flesh. I judge no man / though I judge yet is my judgment true. For I am not alone: but I & the father that sent me. It is also written ⟨p. Cxxxv⟩in your law / that the testimony of two2 men is true. I am one that bear witness of myself / and the father that sent me / beareth witness of me. Then said they unto him: where is thy father? Jesus answered: ye nether know me / nor yet my father. If ye had known me / ye should have known my father also.§C These words spake Jesus in the treasury / as he taught in the temple / & no man laid hands on him / for his time was not yet come. ⊢
Then spake Iesus agayne vnto them sayinge:§B 1I am the light of the worlde. He that foloweth me shall not walke in darcknes: but shall have the light of lyfe. The pharises sayde vnto him: thou bearest recorde of thy sylfe thy recorde is not true. Iesus answered & sayde vnto them: Though I beare recorde of myselfe yet my recorde is true: for I knowe whēce I came & whyther I goo. But ye cannot tell whēce I come / & whyther I goo. Ye iudge after y• flesshe. I iudge noman / though I iudge yet is my iudgmēt true. For I am not alone: but I & the father that sent me. It is also written ⟨p.

Then said Jesus again unto them. ✚ I goo my way / & ye shall seek me / & shall1 dye in your since. Whither I goo / thither can ye not come. Then said the Jews: will he kill him self / because he saith: whither I goo / thither can ye not come? And he said unto them: ye are from beneath / I am from above. Ye are of this world / I am not of this world. I said therefore unto you / that ye shall dye in your since. For except ye believe that I am he / ye shall dye in your since.
Then sayde Iesus agayne vnto them. ✚ I goo my waye / & ye shall seke me / & shall1 dye in youre synnes. Whyther I goo / thyther can ye not come. Then sayde the Iewes: will he kyll him selfe / because he sayth: whyther I goo / thyther can ye not come? And he sayde vnto thē: ye are frō beneth / I am from above. Ye are of this worlde / I am not of this worlde. I sayde therfore vnto you / that ye shall dye in youre synnes. For except ye beleve that I am he / ye shall dye in youre synnes.

Then said they unto him / who art thou?§D And Jesus said unto them: Even y• very same thing y• I say unto you. I have many things to say / & to judge of you. But he y• sent me is true. And I speak in y• world / those things which I have heard of him. They understood not that he spake of his father.
Then sayde they vnto him / who arte thou?§D And Iesus sayde vnto them: Even y• very same thinge y• I saye vnto you. I have many thinges to saye / & to iudge of you. But he y• sent me is true. And I speake in y• worlde / those thingꝭ which I have hearde of him. They vnderstode not that he spake of his father.
Then said Jesus unto them: when ye have lift up an high the Son of man / then shall ye know that I am he / and that I do nothing of my self: but as my father hath taught me / even so I speak: and he that sent me / is ⟨image 154⟩with me. The father hath not left me alone / for I do always those things that please him. ✚ As he spake these words / many believed on him.
Then 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: and he that sent me / is ⟨image 154⟩with me. The father hath not lefte me alone / for I do alwayes those thinges that please him. ✚ As he spake these wordes / many beleved on him.
✚ Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him. If ye continue in my words / then are ye my very disciples / & shall know the trueth: • the trueth shall make you free. They answered him: We be Abraham's seed / and were never bond to any man: why sayest thou then / ye shall be made free.
✚ Then sayde Iesus to those Iewes which beleved on him. If ye cōtinue in my wordes / then are ye my very disciples / & shall knowe the trueth: • the trueth shall make you free. They answered him: We be Abrahams seede / and were never bonde to eny man: why sayest thou then / ye shalbe made fre.
Jesus answered them: verily verily I say1 unto you / that whosoever committeth sin / is the servant of sin. And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: But the Son abideth ever. If the Son therefore shall make you free / then are ye free in deed. I know that ye are Abraham's seed: but ye seek means to kill me / because my sayings have no place in you. I speak that I have seen with my father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father.
Iesus answered them: verely verely I saye1 vnto you / that whosoever committeth synne / is the servaunt of synne. And the servaunt abydeth not in the housse for ever: But ye sonne abydeth ever. If the sonne therfore shall make you fre / then are ye fre in dede. I knowe that ye are Abrahams seed: but ye seke meanes to kyll me / because my sayinges have no place in you. I speake that I have sene with my father: and ye do that which ye have sene with youre father.
