CAP. I . (CMNTEST,I,1.4)

</heading>

In the bigynnyng was the word , (CMNTEST,I,1.6)

and the word was at God , (CMNTEST,I,1.7)

and God was the word . (CMNTEST,I,1.8)

This was in the bigynnyng at God . (CMNTEST,I,1.9)

Alle thingis weren maad bi hym , (CMNTEST,I,1.10)

and withouten hym was maad no thing , that thing that was maad .
(CMNTEST,I,1.11)

In hym was lijf , (CMNTEST,I,1.12)

and the lijf was the li+gt of men , (CMNTEST,I,1.13)

and the li+gt schyneth in derknessis , (CMNTEST,I,1.14)

and derknessis comprehendiden not it . (CMNTEST,I,1.15)

A man was sent fro God , to whom the name was Joon . (CMNTEST,I,1.16)

This man cam in to witnessyng , that he schulde bere witnessing of the
li+gt , that alle men schulden bileue bi hym . (CMNTEST,I,1.17)

He was not the li+gt , but that he schulde bere witnessing of the li+gt
. (CMNTEST,I,1.18)

There was a very li+gt , which li+gtneth ech man that cometh in to this
world . (CMNTEST,I,1.19)

He was in the world , (CMNTEST,I,1.20)

and the world was maad bi hym , (CMNTEST,I,1.21)

and the world knew hym not . (CMNTEST,I,1.22)

He cam in to his owne thingis , (CMNTEST,I,1.23)

and hise resseyueden hym not . (CMNTEST,I,1.24)

But hou many euer resseyueden hym , he +gaf to hem power to be maad the
sones of God , to hem that bileueden in his name ; the whiche not of
bloodis , nether of the wille of fleische , nether of the wille of man
, but ben borun of God . (CMNTEST,I,1.25)

And the word was maad man , (CMNTEST,I,1.26)

and dwellyde among vs , (CMNTEST,I,1.27)

and we han seyn the glorie of hym , as the glorie of the oon bigetun
sone of the fadir , ful of grace and of treuthe . (CMNTEST,I,1.28)

Joon berith witnessyng of hym , (CMNTEST,I,1.29)

and crieth , and seith , This is , whom Y seide , He that schal come
aftir me , is maad bifore me , (CMNTEST,I,1.30)

for he was tofor me , (CMNTEST,I,1.31)

and of the plente of hym we alle han takun , and grace for grace .
(CMNTEST,I,1.32)

For the lawe was +gouun bi Moises ; (CMNTEST,I,1.33)

but grace and treuthe is maad bi Jhesu Crist . (CMNTEST,I,1.34)

No man sai euer God , no but the oon bigetun sone , that is in the
bosum of the fadir , (CMNTEST,I,1.35)

he hath teld out . (CMNTEST,I,1.36)

And this is the witnessyng of Joon , whanne Jewis senten fro Jerusalem
prestis and dekenes to hym , that thei schulden axe hym , Who art thou

<P_I,20>

He knoulechide , (CMNTEST,I,20.39)

and he knoulechide , For Y am not Crist . (CMNTEST,I,20.41)

And thei axiden hym , What thanne ? (CMNTEST,I,20.42)

Art thou Elie ? (CMNTEST,I,20.43)

And he seide , Y am not . (CMNTEST,I,20.44)

And he answeride , Nay . (CMNTEST,I,20.46)

Therfor thei seiden to hym , Who art thou ? that we +gyue an answere to

What seist thou of thi self ? (CMNTEST,I,20.48)

(CMNTEST,I,20.49)

Dresse +ge the weie of the Lord , as Ysaie , the prophete , seide .
(CMNTEST,I,20.50)

And thei that weren sent , weren of the Fariseis . (CMNTEST,I,20.51)

And thei axiden hym , (CMNTEST,I,20.52)

and seiden to hym , What thanne baptisist thou , if thou art not Crist

Y am not worthi to louse the thwong of his schoo . (CMNTEST,I,20.57)

These thingis weren don in Bethanye bi+gende Jordan , whare Joon was

Anothir day Joon say Jhesu comynge to hym , (CMNTEST,I,20.59)

lo ! he that doith awei the synnes of the world . (CMNTEST,I,20.61)

This is he , that Y seide of , (CMNTEST,I,20.62)

Aftir me is comun a man , which was maad bifor me ; (CMNTEST,I,20.63)

for he was rather than Y . (CMNTEST,I,20.64)

And Y knew hym not , but that he be schewid in Israel ,
(CMNTEST,I,20.65)

therfor Y cam baptisynge in watir . (CMNTEST,I,20.66)

And Joon bar witnessyng , (CMNTEST,I,20.67)

And the thridde dai weddyngis weren in the Cane of Galilee ;

And Jhesus was clepid , and hise disciplis , to the weddyngis .
(CMNTEST,II,1.122)

And whanne wijn failide , the modir of Jhesu seide to hym , Thei han

And Jhesus seith to hir , What to me and to thee , womman ?

And there weren set sixe stonun cannes , aftir the clensyng of the

And thei filliden hem , vp to the mouth . (CMNTEST,II,1.129)

And Jhesus seide to hem , Drawe +ge now , (CMNTEST,II,1.130)

and bere +ge to the architriclyn . (CMNTEST,II,1.131)

And thei baren . (CMNTEST,II,1.132)

And whanne the architriclyn hadde tastid the watir maad wiyn , and
wiste not wherof it was , but the mynystris wisten that drowen the
watir , the architriclyn clepith the spouse , (CMNTEST,II,1.133)

and seith to hym , Ech man settith first good wiyn , and whanne men ben

but thou hast kept the good wiyn in to this tyme . (CMNTEST,II,1.135)

Jhesus dide this the bigynnyng of signes in the Cane of Galilee ,
(CMNTEST,II,1.136)

and schewide his glorie ; (CMNTEST,II,1.137)

and hise disciplis bileueden in hym . (CMNTEST,II,1.138)

Aftir these thingis he cam doun to Cafarnaum , and his modir , and hise

and thei dwelliden there not many daies . (CMNTEST,II,1.140)

And the pask of Jewis was ny+g , (CMNTEST,II,1.141)

and Jhesus wente vp to Jerusalem . (CMNTEST,II,1.142)

And he foond in the temple men sillynge oxun , and scheep , and

And whanne he hadde maad as it were a scourge of smale cordis , he

(CMNTEST,II,1.144)

and he schedde the money of chaungeris , (CMNTEST,II,1.145)

(CMNTEST,II,1.148)

And hise disciplis hadden mynde , (CMNTEST,II,1.149)

(CMNTEST,II,1.150)

Therfor the Jewis answeriden , (CMNTEST,II,1.151)

and seiden to hym , What token schewist thou to vs , that thou doist

Jhesus answerde , (CMNTEST,II,1.153)

and seide to hem , Vndo +ge this temple , (CMNTEST,II,1.154)

and in thre daies Y schal reise it . (CMNTEST,II,1.155)

<P_II,20>

Therfor the Jewis seiden to hym , In fourti and sixe +geer this temple
was bildid , (CMNTEST,II,20.157)

and schalt thou in thre daies reise it ? (CMNTEST,II,20.158)

But he seide of the temple of his bodi . (CMNTEST,II,20.159)

Therfor whanne he was risun fro deeth , hise disciplis hadden mynde ,
that he seide these thingis <font> of his bodi </font> ;
(CMNTEST,II,20.160)

and thei bileueden to the scripture , and to the word that Jhesus seide

And whanne Jhesus was at Jerusalem in pask , in the feeste dai , many
bileueden in his name , seynge his signes that he dide .
(CMNTEST,II,20.162)

But Jhesus trowide not hym silf to hem , for he knewe alle men ; and
for it was not nede to hym , that ony man schulde bere witnessyng ,
(CMNTEST,II,20.163)

for he wiste , what was in man . (CMNTEST,II,20.164)

<P_III,1>

CAP. III . (CMNTEST,III,1.167)

</heading>

And there was a man of the Farisees , Nychodeme bi name , a prince of
the Jewis . (CMNTEST,III,1.169)

And he cam to Jhesu bi ni+gt , (CMNTEST,III,1.170)

and seide to hym , Rabi , we witen , that thou art comun fro God
maister ; (CMNTEST,III,1.171)

for no man may do these signes , that thou doist , but God be with hym
. (CMNTEST,III,1.172)

Jhesus answerde , (CMNTEST,III,1.173)

and seide to hym , Treuli , treuli , Y seie to thee , but a man be
borun a+gen , he may not se the kyngdom of God . (CMNTEST,III,1.174)

Nychodeme seide to hym , Hou may a man be borun , whanne he is eeld ?
(CMNTEST,III,1.175)

whether he may entre a+gen in to his modris wombe , and be borun a+gen
? (CMNTEST,III,1.176)

Jhesus answeride , Treuli , treuli , Y seie to thee , but a man be
borun a+gen of watir , and of the Hooli Goost , he may not entre in to
the kyngdom of God . (CMNTEST,III,1.177)

That that is borun of the fleisch , is fleisch ; (CMNTEST,III,1.178)

and that that is borun of spirit , is spirit . (CMNTEST,III,1.179)

Wondre thou not , for Y seide to thee , It bihoueth +gou to be borun
a+gen . (CMNTEST,III,1.180)

The spirit brethith where he wole , (CMNTEST,III,1.181)

and thou herist his vois , (CMNTEST,III,1.182)

but thou wost not , fro whennus he cometh , ne whidir he goith ;
(CMNTEST,III,1.183)

so is ech man that is borun of the spirit . (CMNTEST,III,1.184)

Nychodeme answeride , (CMNTEST,III,1.185)

and seide to hym , Hou moun these thingis be don ? (CMNTEST,III,1.186)

Jhesus answeride , (CMNTEST,III,1.187)

and seide to hym , Thou art a maister in Israel , (CMNTEST,III,1.188)

and knowist not these thingis ? (CMNTEST,III,1.189)

Treuli , treuli , Y seie to thee , for we speken that that we witen ,
(CMNTEST,III,1.190)

and we witnessen that that we han seyn , (CMNTEST,III,1.191)

and +ge taken not oure witnessyng . (CMNTEST,III,1.192)

If Y haue seid to +gou ertheli thingis , and +ge bileuen not , hou if Y
seie to +gou heueneli thingis , schulen +ge bileue ?
(CMNTEST,III,1.193)

And no man stieth in to heuene , but he that cam doun fro heuene ,
mannys sone that is in heuene . (CMNTEST,III,1.194)

And as Moises areride a serpent in desert , so it bihoueth mannys sone
to be reisid , that ech man that bileueth in hym , perische not , but
haue euerlastynge lijf . (CMNTEST,III,1.195)

For God louede so the world , that he +gaf his oon bigetun sone , that
ech man that bileueth in him perische not , but haue euerlastynge lijf
. (CMNTEST,III,1.196)

For God sente not his sone in to the world , that he iuge the world ,
but that the world be saued bi him . (CMNTEST,III,1.197)

He that bileueth in hym , is not demed ; (CMNTEST,III,1.198)

but he that bileueth not , is now demed , (CMNTEST,III,1.199)

for he bileueth not in the name of the oon bigetun sone of God .
(CMNTEST,III,1.200)

And this is the dom , (CMNTEST,III,1.201)

for li+gt cam in to the world , (CMNTEST,III,1.202)

and men loueden more derknessis than li+gt ; (CMNTEST,III,1.203)

for her werkes weren yuele . (CMNTEST,III,1.204)

<P_III,20>

For ech man that doith yuele , hatith the li+gt ; (CMNTEST,III,20.206)

and he cometh not to the li+gt , that hise werkis be not repreued .
(CMNTEST,III,20.207)

But he that doith treuthe , cometh to the li+gt , that hise werkis be
schewid , that thei ben don in God . (CMNTEST,III,20.208)

Aftir these thingis Jhesus cam , and hise disciplis , in to the loond
of Judee , (CMNTEST,III,20.209)

and there he dwellide with hem , (CMNTEST,III,20.210)

and baptiside . (CMNTEST,III,20.211)

And Joon was baptisinge in Ennon , bisidis Salym , (CMNTEST,III,20.212)

for many watris weren there ; (CMNTEST,III,20.213)

and thei camen , (CMNTEST,III,20.214)

and weren baptisid . (CMNTEST,III,20.215)

And Joon was not +git sent in to prisoun . (CMNTEST,III,20.216)

Therfor a questioun was maad of Jonys disciplis with the Jewis , of the
purificacioun . (CMNTEST,III,20.217)

And thei camen to Joon , (CMNTEST,III,20.218)

and seiden to hym , Maister , he that was with thee bi+gonde Jordan ,
to whom thou hast borun witnessyng , lo ! he baptisith ,
(CMNTEST,III,20.219)

and alle men comen to hym . (CMNTEST,III,20.220)

Joon answerde , (CMNTEST,III,20.221)

and seide , A man may not take ony thing , but it be +gouun to hym fro
heuene . (CMNTEST,III,20.222)

+Ge +gou silf beren witnessyng to me , that Y seide , Y am not Crist ,
but that Y am sent bifore hym . (CMNTEST,III,20.223)

He that hath a wijf , is the hosebonde ; (CMNTEST,III,20.224)

but the freend of the spouse that stondith , and herith hym , ioieth
with ioye , for the vois of the spouse . (CMNTEST,III,20.225)

Therfor in this thing my ioye is fulfillid . (CMNTEST,III,20.226)

It bihoueth hym to wexe , but me to be maad lesse .
(CMNTEST,III,20.227)

He that cam from aboue , is aboue alle ; (CMNTEST,III,20.228)

he that is of the erthe , spekith of the erthe ; (CMNTEST,III,20.229)

he that cometh from heuene , is aboue alle . (CMNTEST,III,20.230)

And he witnessith that thing that he hath seie , and herde ,
(CMNTEST,III,20.231)

and no man takith his witnessing . (CMNTEST,III,20.232)

But he that takith his witnessyng , hath confermyd that God is
sothefast . (CMNTEST,III,20.233)

But he whom God hath sent , spekith the wordis of God ;
(CMNTEST,III,20.234)

for not to mesure God +gyueth the spirit . (CMNTEST,III,20.235)

The fadir loueth the sone , (CMNTEST,III,20.236)

and he hath +gouun alle thingis in his hoond . (CMNTEST,III,20.237)

He that bileueth in the sone , hath euerlastynge lijf ;
(CMNTEST,III,20.238)

but he that is vnbileueful to the sone , schal not se euerlastynge lijf
, (CMNTEST,III,20.239)

but the wraththe of God dwellith on hym . (CMNTEST,III,20.240)

Therfor as Jhesu knew , that the Farisees herden , that Jhesu makith

and wente a+gen in to Galilee . (CMNTEST,IV,1.246)

And it bihofte hym to passe bi Samerie . (CMNTEST,IV,1.247)

Therfor Jhesus cam in to a citee of Samarie , that is seid Sicar ,

(CMNTEST,IV,1.248)

And the welle of Jacob was there ; (CMNTEST,IV,1.249)

and Jhesus was weri of the iourney , (CMNTEST,IV,1.250)

and sat vpon the welle . (CMNTEST,IV,1.251)

And the our was , as it were the sixte . (CMNTEST,IV,1.252)

And a womman cam fro Samarie , to drawe watir . (CMNTEST,IV,1.253)

And Jhesus seith to hir , +Gyue me drynk . (CMNTEST,IV,1.254)

And hise disciplis weren gon in to the citee , to bie mete .
(CMNTEST,IV,1.255)

Therfor thilke womman of Samarie seith to him , Hou thou , whanne thou

(CMNTEST,IV,1.256)

for Jewis vsiden not <font> to dele </font> with Samaritans .
(CMNTEST,IV,1.257)

Jhesus answerde , (CMNTEST,IV,1.258)

and seide to hir , If thou wistist the +gifte of God , and who he is ,
that seith to thee , +Gyue me drynk , thou perauenture woldist haue

and he schulde haue +gouun to thee quyk watir . (CMNTEST,IV,1.260)

The womman seith to him , Sire , thou hast not where ynne to drawe ,
(CMNTEST,IV,1.261)

wherof thanne hast thou quik watir ? (CMNTEST,IV,1.263)

Whethir thou art grettere than oure fadir Jacob , that +gaf to vs the

Aftir these thingis ther was a feeste dai of Jewis , (CMNTEST,V,1.358)

In these lay a greet multitude of sike men , blynde , crokid , and drie

For the aungel of the Lord cam doun certeyne tymes in to the watir ,

and the watir was moued ; (CMNTEST,V,1.363)

and he that first cam doun in to the sisterne , aftir the mouynge of

(CMNTEST,V,1.364)

And a man was there , hauynge ei+gte and thritti +geer in his sikenesse

And whanne Jhesus hadde seyn hym liggynge , and hadde knowun , that he

(CMNTEST,V,1.366)

The sijk man answerde to hym , Lord , Y haue no man , that whanne the

for the while Y come , anothir goith doun bifor me . (CMNTEST,V,1.368)

Jhesus seith to hym , Rise vp , (CMNTEST,V,1.369)

And it was sabat in that dai . (CMNTEST,V,1.375)

Therfor the Jewis seiden to him that was maad hool , It is sabat ,
(CMNTEST,V,1.376)

it is not leueful to thee , to take awei thi bed . (CMNTEST,V,1.377)

He answeride to hem , He that made me hool , seide to me , Take thi bed

Therfor thei axiden him , What man is that , that seide to thee , Take

But he that was maad hool , wiste not who it was . (CMNTEST,V,1.382)

And Jhesus bowide awei fro the puple , that was set in the place .
(CMNTEST,V,1.383)

Aftirward Jhesus foond hym in the temple , (CMNTEST,V,1.384)

Thilke man wente , (CMNTEST,V,1.387)

(CMNTEST,V,1.388)

Therfor the Jewis pursueden Jhesu , for he dide this thing in the sabat

And Jhesus answeride to hem , My fadir worchith til now ,

Therfor the Jewis sou+gten more to sle hym , (CMNTEST,V,1.392)

for what euere thingis he doith , the sone doith in lijk maner tho

For the fadir loueth the sone , (CMNTEST,V,20.400)

and he schal schewe to hym grettere werkis than these , that +ge

For as the fadir reisith deed men , and quykeneth , so the sone

For nethir the fadir iugith ony man , (CMNTEST,V,20.404)

Treuli , treuli , Y seie to +gou , that he that herith my word , and

For as the fadir hath lijf in hym silf , so he +gaf to the sone , to

And thei that han do goode thingis , schulen go in to a+genrisyng of

Al thing , that the fadir +gyueth to me , schal come to me ;

For Y cam doun fro heuene , not that Y do my wille , but the wille of

And this is the wille of the fadir that sente me , that al thing that

Ech man that herde of the fadir , and hath lerned , cometh to me . Not

Sotheli , sotheli , Y seie to +gou , he that bileueth in me , hath

For my fleisch is veri mete , (CMNTEST,VI,40.547)

He that etith my fleisch , and drynkith my blood , dwellith in me , and

As my fadir lyuynge sente me , and Y lyue for the fadir , and he that

It is the spirit that quykeneth , (CMNTEST,VI,60.559)

Therfor Jhesus seide to the twelue , Whether +ge wolen also go awei ?

If ony man wole do his wille , he schal knowe of the techyng , whethir

Farisees herden the puple musinge of hym these thingis ;

Therfor the Jewis seiden to hem silf , Whidur schal this gon , for we
