John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
In the beginnynge was the worde and the worde was with God: and the worde was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
The same was in the beginnynge with God.
3 All things were made through him; and without him was nothing made that hath been made.
All thinges were made by it and with out it was made nothinge that was made.
4 In him is life; and the life was the light of men.
In it was lyfe and the lyfe was ye lyght of men
5 And the light hath been shining in the darkness; and the darkness received it not.
and the lyght shyneth in the darcknes but the darcknes comprehended it not.
6 There was a man, sent from God, whose name was John.
There was a man sent from God whose name was Iohn.
7 He came as a witness, to bear witness of the light, that through him all might believe.
The same cam as a witnes to beare witnes of the lyght that all men through him myght beleve.
8 He was not the light, but came to bear witness of the light.
He was not that lyght: but to beare witnes of the lyght.
9 The true light, which enlighteneth every man, was coming into the world.
That was a true lyght which lyghteth all men that come into the worlde.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world knew him not.
He was in ye worlde and the worlde was made by him: and yet the worlde knewe him not.
11 He came to his own, and his own received him not.
He cam amonge his (awne) and his awne receaved him not.
12 But as many as received him, to them he gave power to become children of God, —to those who believed in his name;
But as meny as receaved him to them he gave power to be the sonnes of God in yt they beleved on his name:
13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
which were borne not of bloude nor of the will of the flesshe nor yet of the will of man: but of God.
14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; and we beheld his glory, a glory as of an only begotten of a father.
And the worde was made flesshe and dwelt amonge vs and we sawe the glory of it as the glory of the only begotten sonne of ye father which worde was full of grace and verite.
15 John beareth witness of him, and crieth, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that cometh after me hath gone before me; for he was before me.
Iohn bare witnes of him and cryed sayinge: This was he of whome I spake he that cometh after me was before me because he was yer then I.
16 For out of his fullness have we all received, and grace upon grace.
And of his fulnes have all we receaved even (grace) for grace.
17 For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
For the lawe was geven by Moses but grace and truthe came by Iesus Christ.
18 No one hath ever seen God; the only begotten God, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath made him known.
No ma hath sene God at eny tyme. The only begotte sonne which is in ye bosome of ye father he hath declared him.
19 And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem, to ask him, Who art thou?
And this is the recorde of Iohn: When the Iewes sent Prestes and Levites from Ierusalem to axe him what arte thou?
20 And he declared, and did not deny; and he declared, I am not the Christ.
And he confessed and denyed not and sayde playnly: I am not Christ.
21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elijah? And he said, I am not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered, No.
And they axed him: what then? arte thou Helyas? And he sayde: I am not. Arte thou a Prophete? And he answered no.
22 They said therefore to him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to those who sent us; what sayest thou of thyself?
Then sayd they vnto him: what arte thou that we maye geve an answer to them that sent vs: What sayest thou of thy selfe?
23 He said, I am “a voice of one crying aloud in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord,” as said Isaiah the prophet.
He sayde: I am the voyce of a cryar in the wyldernes make strayght the waye of the Lorde as sayde the Prophete Esaias.
24 And they were sent from the Pharisees;
And they which were sent were of the pharises.
25 and they asked him and said to him, Why then dost thou baptize, if thou art not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?
And they axed him and sayde vnto him: why baptisest thou then yf thou be not Christ nor Helyas nether a Prophet?
26 John answered them, saying, I baptize in water. There standeth one among you whom ye know not,
Iohn answered them sayinge: I baptise with water: but one is come amonge you whom ye knowe not
27 he who cometh after me, the latchet of whose sandal I am not worthy to loose.
he it is that cometh after me whiche was before me whose sho latchet I am not worthy to vnlose.
28 These things took place in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
These thinges were done in Bethabara beyonde Iordan where Iohn dyd baptyse.
29 The next day he seeth Jesus coming to him, and saith, Behold, the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world!
The nexte daye Iohn sawe Iesus commyge vnto him and sayde: beholde the lambe of God which taketh awaye the synne of the worlde.
30 This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man, who hath gone before me; for he was before me.
This is he of whom I sayde. After me cometh a man which was before me for he was yer then I
31 And I knew him not; but that he might be made manifest to Israel, therefore I came baptizing in water.
and I knew him not: but that he shuld be declared to Israell therfore am I come baptisynge with water.
32 And John bore witness, saying, I have seen the Spirit descending as a dove from heaven, and it abode upon him.
And Iohn bare recorde sayinge: I sawe the sprete descende from heven lyke vnto a dove and abyde apon him
33 And I knew him not; but he who sent me to baptize in water, the same said to me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending and abiding on him, he it is that baptizeth in the Holy Spirit.
and I knewe him not. But he that sent me to baptise in water the same sayde vnto me: apon whom thou shalt se the sprete descende and tary styll on him the same is he which baptiseth with the holy goost.
34 And I have seen and have borne witness, that this is the Son of God.
And I sawe and bare recorde that this is the sonne of God.
35 On the morrow John was again standing, and two of his disciples;
The next daye after Iohn stode agayne and two of his disciples.
36 and looking upon Jesus as he was walking, he saith, Behold, the Lamb of God!
And he behelde Iesus as he walked by and sayde: beholde the lambe of God.
37 The two disciples heard him speaking, and they followed Jesus.
And the two disciples hearde him speake and folowed Iesus.
38 Jesus turning and seeing them following, saith to them, What seek ye? And they said to him, Rabbi, (that is to say, when interpreted, Teacher, ) where dost thou dwell?
And Iesus turned about and sawe them folowe and sayde vnto them: what seke ye? They sayde vnto him: Rabbi (which is to saye by interpretacion Master) where dwellest thou?
39 He saith to them, Come, and ye shall see. They came therefore and saw where he dwelt; and they abode with him that day. It was about the tenth hour.
He sayde vnto them: come and se. They came and sawe where he dwelt: and abode with him that daye. For it was about the tenthe houre.
40 One of the two who heard what John said, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
One of the two which hearde Iohn speake and folowed Iesus was Andrew Simon Peters brother.
41 He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith to him, We have found the Messiah; (which is, when interpreted, the Christ.)
The same founde his brother Simon fyrst and sayde vnto him: we have founde Messias which is by interpretacion annoynted:
42 He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looking upon him said, Thou art Simon, the son of John; thou shalt be called Cephas; (which signifieth Peter, that is, Rock.)
and brought him to Iesus. And Iesus behelde him and sayde: thou arte Simon the sonne of Ionas thou shalt be called Cephas: which is by interpretacion a stone.
43 On the morrow he determined to go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip. And Jesus saith to him, Follow me.
The daye folowynge Iesus wolde goo into Galile and founde Philip and sayde vnto him folowe me.
44 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
Philip was of Bethsaida the cite of Andrew and Peter.
45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith to him, We have found him of whom Moses in the Law, and the Prophets wrote, Jesus, the son of Joseph, who is of Nazareth.
And Philip founde Nathanael and sayde vnto him. We have founde him of whom Moses in the lawe and the prophetes dyd wryte. Iesus the sonne of Ioseph of Nazareth.
46 And Nathanael said to him, Can any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith to him, Come and see.
And Nathanael sayde vnto him: can ther eny good thinge come out of Nazareth? Philip sayde to him: come and se.
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile.
Iesus sawe Nathanael commynge to him and sayde of him. Beholde a ryght Israelite in who is no gyle.
48 Nathanael saith to him, Whence dost thou know me? Jesus answered and said to him, Before Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig-tree, I saw thee.
Nathanael sayd vnto him: where knewest thou me? Iesus answered and sayde vnto him: Before that Philip called the when thou wast vnder ye fygge tree I sawe the.
49 Nathanael answered him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art the king of Israel.
Nathanael answered and sayde vnto him: Rabbi thou arte the sonne of God thou arte the kynge of Israel.
50 Jesus answered and said to him, Because I said to thee, I saw thee under the fig-tree, dost thou believe? Thou shalt see greater things than these.
Iesus answered and sayd vnto him: Because I sayde vnto the I sawe the vnder the fygge tree thou belevest. Thou shalt se greater thinges then these.
51 And he saith to him, Truly, truly do I say to you, Ye will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
And he sayde vnto him: Verely verely I saye vnto you: herafter shall ye se heven open and the angels of God ascendynge and descendynge over the sonne of man.
