CHAPTER 21
1 And he beheld, and saw the rich men, that cast their gifts into the treasury;
2 but he saw also a little poor widow casting two farthings [or two little moneys].
3 And he said, Truly I say to you, that this poor widow cast more than all men.
4 For why all these of [the] thing that was plenteous [or abundant] to them cast in to the gifts of God; but this widow of that thing that failed to her, cast all her livelode [or all her lifelode], that she had.
5 And when some men said of the temple, that it was appareled [or adorned] with good stones and gifts, he said,
6 These things that ye see, days shall come, in which a stone shall not be left on a stone, which shall not be destroyed.
7 And they asked him, and said, Commander, when shall these things be? and what token shall be, when they shall begin to be done?
8 And he said, See ye, that ye be not deceived; for many shall come in my name, saying, For I am, and the time shall nigh; therefore do not ye go after them.
9 And when ye shall hear battles and strives [or dissensions] within, do not ye be afeared; it behooveth first these things to be done, but not yet anon is an end [or the end].
10 Then he said to them, Folk shall rise against folk, and realm against realm;
11 and great movings of the earth shall be by places, and pestilences, and hungers, and dreads from heaven, and great tokens shall be.
12 But before all these things they shall set their hands on you, and shall pursue you, betaking into synagogues and keepings, [either prisons], and drawing you to kings and to justices, for my name;
13 but it shall fall to you into witnessing.
14 Therefore put ye in your hearts, not to think before, how ye shall answer;
15 for I shall give to you mouth and wisdom, to which all your adversaries shall not be able to against-stand, and gainsay.
16 And ye shall be taken [or betrayed] of father, and mother, and brethren, and cousins, and friends, and by death they shall torment [some] of you;
17 and ye shall be in hate to [or be hated of] all men for my name.
18 And an hair of your head shall not perish;
19 in your patience ye shall wield your souls.
20 But when ye shall see Jerusalem be environed with an host [of battle], then know ye, that the desolation of it shall nigh.
21 Then they that be in Judea, flee to the mountains; and they that be in the middle of it, go away; and they that be in the countries, enter not into it.
22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things that be written, be fulfilled.
23 And woe to them, that be with child, and nourishing [or nursing] in those days; for a great dis-ease [or pressure] shall be on the earth, and wrath to this people.
24 And they shall fall by the sharpness of sword, and they shall be led prisoners [or led captive] into all folks; and Jerusalem shall be defouled of heathen men, till the times of nations be fulfilled.
25 And tokens shall be in the sun, and the moon, and in the stars; and in the earth overlaying of folks, for confusion of the sound of the sea and of floods [or of waves];
26 for men shall wax dry for dread and abiding, that shall come into [or on] all the world; for virtues of heaven shall be moved.
27 And then they shall see man’s Son coming in a cloud, with great power and majesty.
28 And when these things begin to be made [or beginning to be done], behold ye, and raise ye your heads, for your redemption nigheth.
29 And he said to them a likeness, See ye the fig tree, and all trees,
30 when they bring forth now of themselves fruit, ye know that summer is nigh;
31 so [also] ye, when ye see these things to be done, know ye, that the kingdom of God is nigh.
32 Truly I say to you, that this generation shall not pass, till all things be done.
33 Heaven and earth shall pass, but my words shall not pass.
34 But take ye heed to yourselves, lest peradventure your hearts be grieved with gluttony, and drunken-ness, and busynesses of this life, and that day come suddenly on you;
35 for as a snare it shall come on all men, that sit on the face of all the earth.
36 Therefore wake ye, praying in each time, that ye be had worthy to flee all these things that be to come [or that shall come], and to stand before man’s Son.
37 And in days he was teaching in the temple, but in nights he went out, and dwelled in the mount, that is called of Olivet.
38 And all the people rose [or came] early, to come to him in the temple, for to hear him.
CHAPTER 22
1 And the holiday [or the holy day] of therf loaves, that is said pask, nighed.
2 And the princes of priests, and the scribes sought, how they should slay Jesus, but they dreaded the people.
3 And Satan entered into Judas, that was called Iscariot, one of the twelve.
4 And he went, and spake with the princes of priests, and with the magistrates, how he should betray him to them.
5 And they joyed, and made covenant to give him money.
6 And he promised, and he sought opportunity, to betray him, without the people.
7 But the days of therf loaves came, in which it was need, that the sacrifice of pask were slain.
8 And he sent Peter and John, and said, Go ye, and make ye ready to us the pask, that we eat.
9 And they said, Where wilt thou, that we make ready?
10 And he said to them, Lo! when ye shall enter into the city, a man bearing a vessel of water shall meet you; pursue ye him into the house, into which he entereth.
11 And ye shall say to the husband-man of the house, The master saith to thee, Where is a chamber, where I shall eat the pask with my disciples?
12 And he shall show to you a great supping place strewed, and there make ye ready.
13 And they went, and found as he said to them, and they made ready the pask.
14 And when the hour was come, he sat at the meat, and the twelve apostles with him.
15 And he said to them, With desire I have desired to eat with you this pask, before that I suffer;
16 for I say to you, that from this time I shall not eat it, till it be fulfilled in the realm of God.
17 And when he had taken the cup, he did graces [or thankings], and said, Take ye, and part ye among you;
18 for I say to you, that I shall not drink of the kind [or of the generation] of this vine, till the realm of God come.
19 And when he had taken bread, he did thankings [or graces], and brake, and gave to them, and said, This is my body, that shall be given for you; do ye this thing in mind of me [or into my commemoration].
20 He took also the cup [or the chalice], after that he had supped, and said, This cup is the new testament in my blood, that shall be shed for you.
21 Nevertheless lo! the hand of him that betrayeth me, is with me at the table.
22 And man’s Son goeth, as it is determined; nevertheless woe to that man, by whom he shall be betrayed.
23 And they began to seek among them[selves], who it was of them, that was to do this thing.
24 And strife was made among them, which of them should be seen to be greatest.
25 But he said to them, Kings of heathen men be lords of them, and they that have power on them be called good doers,
26 but ye not so; but he that is [the] greatest among you, be made as a younger [or as the younger], and he that is [a] before-goer, as a servant.
27 For who is greater, he that sitteth at the meat, or he that ministereth? whether not he that sitteth at the meat? And I am in the middle [or in the midst] of you, as he that ministereth.
28 And ye [it] be, that have dwelled with me in my temptations;
29 and I assign [or dispose] to you, as my Father hath assigned [or disposed] to me, a realm.
30 that ye eat and drink on my board in my realm, and sit on thrones, and deem the twelve kindreds of Israel.
31 And the Lord said to Simon, Simon, lo! Satan hath asked you, that he should riddle you as wheat;
32 but I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not; and thou sometime converted, confirm thy brethren.
33 Which said to him, Lord, I am ready to go into prison and into death with thee.
34 And he said, I say to thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow today, till thou thrice forsake that thou knowest me.
35 And he said to them, When I sent you without satchel, and scrip, and shoes, whether anything failed to you? And they said, Nothing.
36 Therefore he said to them, But now he that hath a satchel, take also a scrip; and he that hath none, sell his coat, and buy a sword.
37 For I say to you, that yet it behooveth that thing that is written to be fulfilled in me, And he is areckoned with wicked men; for those things that be of me have an end.
38 And they said, Lord, lo! two swords here. And he said to them, It is enough.
39 And he went out, and went after the custom into the hill of Olives [or of Olivet]; and the disciples pursued him.
40 And when he came to the place, he said to them, Pray ye, lest ye enter into temptation.
41 And he was taken away from them, as much as is a stone’s cast; and he kneeled, and prayed,
42 and said, Father, if thou wilt, do away this cup from me; nevertheless not my will be done, but thine, [or not my will, but thine be done].
43 And an angel appeared to him from heaven, and comforted him.
44 And he was made in agony [or in anguish], and prayed the longer [or prayed longer]; and his sweat was made as drops of blood running down into the earth.
45 And when he was risen from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for heaviness.
46 And he said to them, What, sleep ye? Rise ye, and pray ye, that ye enter not into temptation.
47 Yet while he spake, lo! a company, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them; and he came [nigh] to Jesus, to kiss him.
48 And Jesus said to him, Judas, betrayest thou man’s Son with a kiss?
49 And they that were about him, and saw that that was to come, said to him, Lord, whether we smite with sword?
50 And one of them smote the servant of the prince of priests, and cut off his right ear.
51 But Jesus answered, and said, Suffer ye till hither. And when he had touched his ear, he healed him.
52 And Jesus said to them, that came to him, the princes of priests, and magistrates [or the masters] of the temple, and elder men, As to a thief ye have gone out with swords and staves?
53 When I was each day with you in the temple, ye stretched not out hands into me; but this is your hour, and the power of darknesses.
54 And they took him, and led to the house of the prince of priests; and Peter pursued him afar.
55 And when a fire was kindled in the middle of the great house, and they sat about, Peter was in the middle of them.
56 Whom when a damsel, [or a handmaid/a handmaiden], had seen sitting at the light, and had beheld him, she said, And this was with him.
57 And he denied him, and said, Woman, I know him not.
58 And after a little another man saw him, and said, And thou art of them. But Peter said, A! man, I am not.
59 And when a space was made as of one hour, another affirmed, and said, Truly this was with him; for also he is of Galilee.
60 And Peter said, Man, I know not what thou sayest. And anon yet while he spake, the cock crew.
61 And the Lord turned again [or And the Lord turned], and beheld Peter; and Peter had mind of the word of Jesus, as he had said, Before that the cock crow, thrice thou shalt deny me.
62 And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.
63 And the men that held him scorned him, and smote him.
64 And they blindfolded him, and smote his face, and asked him, and said, Declare, thou Christ, to us, who is he that smote thee? [or Prophesy thou, who is it that smote thee?]
65 Also they blaspheming said against him many other things. [Also they blaspheming said many other things against him.]
66 And as the day was come, the elder men of the people, and the princes of priests, and the scribes came together, and led him into their council, and said,
67 If thou art Christ, say to us. And he said to them, If I say to you, ye will not believe to me;
68 and if I ask, ye will not answer to me, neither ye will deliver me.
69 But after this time man’s Son shall be sitting on the right half of the virtue of God.
70 Therefore all said, Then art thou the Son of God? And he said, Ye say that I am.
71 And they said, What yet desire we witnessing? for we ourselves have heard of his mouth.
CHAPTER 23
1 And all the multitude of them arose, and led him to Pilate.
2 And they began to accuse him, and said, We have found this turning upside-down our folk, and forbidding tribute to be given to the emperor [or to Caesar], and saying that himself is Christ a king [or and saying himself to be Christ king.]
3 And Pilate asked him, and said, Art thou king of Jews? And he answered, and said, Thou sayest.
4 And Pilate said to the princes of priests, and to the people, I find nothing of cause in this man.
5 And they waxed stronger, and said, He moveth the people, teaching through all Judea, beginning from Galilee till hither.
6 And Pilate hearing Galilee asked, if he were a man of Galilee.
7 And when he knew that he was of the power of Herod, he sent him to Herod; which was [or he was] at Jerusalem in those days.
8 And when Herod saw Jesus, he joyed full much; for long time he coveted to see him, for he heard many things of him, and hoped to see some token [or some miracle] done of him.
9 And he asked him in many words; and he answered nothing to him.
10 And the princes of priests, and the scribes stood, steadfastly accusing him.
11 But Herod with his host despised him, and scorned him, and clothed him with a white cloth, and sent him again to Pilate.
12 And Herod and Pilate were made friends from that day [or in that day]; for before they were enemies together.
13 And Pilate called together the princes of priests, and the magistrates of the people,
14 and said to them, Ye have brought to me this man, as turning away the people, and lo! I asking before you find no cause in this man, of these things, in which ye accuse him;
15 neither Herod, for he hath sent him again to us, and lo! nothing worthy of death is done to him.
16 And therefore I shall amend him, and deliver him[chastised].
17 But he must needs [or had need to] deliver to them one by the feast day.
18 And all the people cried together, and said, Do him away, and deliver to us Barabbas;
19 which was sent into prison for disturbing, [or some dissention, or sedition], made in the city, and for manslaying.
20 And again Pilate spake to them, and would deliver [or willing to deliver] Jesus.
21 And they cried out, and said, Crucify, crucify him.
22 And the third time he said to them, For what evil hath he done? I find no cause of death in him; there-fore I shall chastise him, and [I] shall deliver him.
23 And they continued with great voices asking [or they continued asking with great voices], that he should be crucified; and the voices of them waxed strong.
24 And Pilate deemed their asking to be done.
25 And he delivered to them him, that for manslaying and sedition was sent into prison, whom they asked; but he betook Jesus to their will.
26 And when they led him, they took a man, Simon of Cyrene, coming from the town, and they laid on him the cross to bear after Jesus.
27 And there pursued him much people, and women that bewailed, and bemourned him.
28 And Jesus turned to them, and said, Daughters of Jerusalem, do not ye weep on me, but weep ye on yourselves and on your sons.
29 For lo! days shall come, in which it shall be said, Blessed be barren women, and [the] wombs that have not born children, and the teats that have not given suck.
30 Then they shall begin to say to mountains, Fall ye down on us, and to small hills, Cover ye us.
31 For if in a green tree they do these things [or if they do these things in a green tree], what shall be done in a dry?
32 Also other two wicked men were led with him, to be slain.
33 And when they came into a place, that is called of Calvary, [+or after that they came to a place, which is called Calvary], there they crucified him, and the thieves, one on the right half, and the other on the left half.
34 But Jesus said, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. And they parted his clothes, and cast lots.
35 And the people stood abiding; and the princes scorned him with them, and said, Other men he made safe; make he himself safe, if this be Christ, the chosen of God.
36 And the knights nighed, and scorned him, and proffered [or offered] vinegar to him,
37 and said, If thou art king of Jews, make thee safe.
38 And the superscription was written over him with Greek letters, and of Latin, and of Hebrew, This is the king of Jews.
39 And one of these thieves that hanged, blasphemed him, and said, If thou art Christ, make thyself safe and us.
40 But the other answering, blamed him, and said, Neither thou dreadest God, [thou] that art in the same condemnation? [or the same damnation?]
41 And truly we justly, for we have received worthy things to our works [or deeds]; but this did nothing of evil [or soothly this hath done no evil].
42 And he said to Jesus, Lord, have mind of me, when thou comest into thy kingdom.
43 And Jesus said to him, Truly I say to thee, this day thou shalt be with me in paradise.
44 And it was almost the sixth hour, and darknesses were made on all the earth, into [or till] the ninth hour.
45 And the sun was made dark, and the veil of the temple was rent atwo [or was cut down the middle].
46 And Jesus crying with a great voice, said, Father, into thine hands I betake my spirit. And he saying these things, gave up the ghost, [or sent out the spirit, or died].
47 And the centurion seeing that thing that was done, glorified God, and said, Verily, this man was just.
48 And all the people of them that were there together at this spectacle, and saw those things that were done, smote their breasts, and turned again.
49 But all his known stood afar, and women that pursued him from Galilee, seeing these things.
50 And lo! a man, Joseph by name, of Arimathaea, a city of Judea, that was a decurion, [that is, having ten men under him], a good man and a just [or a good man and just],
51 this man consented not to the counsel and to the deeds of them; and he abode the kingdom of God.
52 This Joseph came to Pilate, and asked the body of Jesus,
53 and took it down, and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, and laid him in a grave hewn, in which not yet any man had been laid [or was put].
54 And the day was the evening of the holiday, [+or of the holy day, or the making ready of pask], and the sabbath began to shine.
55 And the women pursuing, that came with him from Galilee, saw the grave, and how his body was laid.
56 And they turned again, and made ready sweet smelling spices, and ointments; but in the sabbath they rested, after the commandment.
CHAPTER 24
1 But in one day of the week full early, they came to the grave, and brought sweet smelling spices, that they had arrayed [or which they had made ready].
2 And they found the stone turned away from the grave.
3 And they went in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
4 And it was done, the while they were astonied in thought of this thing, lo! two men stood beside them in shining cloth [or shining clothing].
5 And when they dreaded, and bowed their semblance into the earth, they said to them, What seek ye him that liveth with dead men? [or What seek ye the living with the dead?]
6 He is not here, but is risen. Have ye mind, how he spake to you, when he was yet in Galilee,
7 and said, For it behooveth man’s Son to be betaken into the hands of sinful men, and to be crucified, and the third day to rise again.
8 And they bethought on his words.
9 And they went again from the grave, and told all these things to the eleven, and to all [the] others.
10 And there was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary of James, and other women that were with them, that said to the apostles these things [or that said these things to the apostles].
11 And these words were seen to them as madness, and they believed not to them.
12 But Peter rose up, and ran to the grave; and he bowed down, and saw the linen clothes lying alone. And he went by himself, wondering on that that was done.
13 And lo! twain of them went in that day into a castle, that was from Jerusalem the space of sixty furlongs, by name Emmaus.
14 And they spake together of all these things that had befallen.
15 And it was done, the while they talked, and sought by themselves, Jesus himself nighed, and went with them.
16 But their eyes were holden, that they knew him not.
17 And he said to them, What be these words, that ye speak together wandering, and ye be sorrowful?
18 And one, whose name was Cleopas, answered, and said [to him], Thou thyself art a pilgrim in Jerusalem, and hast thou not known, what things be done in it in these days?
19 To whom he said, What things? And they said to him, Of Jesus of Nazareth, that was a man prophet, mighty in work and word before God and all the people;
20 and how the high priests and our princes betook him into condemnation [or into damnation] of death, and crucified him.
21 But we hoped, that he should have again-bought Israel. And now on all these things the third day is today, that these things were done.
22 But also some women of ours made us afeared, which before day-[light] were at the grave;
23 and when his body was not found, they came, and said, that they saw also a sight of angels, which said, that he liveth.
24 And some [men] of ours went to the grave, and they found so as the women said, but they found not him.
25 And he said to them, A! fools, and slow of heart to believe in all things that the prophets have spoken.
26 Whether it behooved not Christ to suffer these things, and so to enter into his glory?
27 And he began at Moses and at all the prophets, and declared [or expounded] to them in all scriptures, that were of him.
28 And they came nigh to the castle, whither they went. And he made countenance that he would go further.
29 And they constrained him, and said, Dwell with us, for it draweth to night, and the day is now bowed down. And he entered [in] with them.
30 And it was done, while he sat at the meat with them, he took bread, and blessed, and brake, and took [or gave] to them.
31 And the eyes of them were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished from their eyes.
32 And they said together, whether our heart was not burning in us, while he spake to us in the way, and [he] opened to us [the] scriptures?
33 And they rose up in the same hour, and went again into Jerusalem [or to Jerusalem], and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,
34 saying, that the Lord is risen verily, and appeared to Simon.
35 And they told what things were done in the way, and how they knew him in breaking of bread.
36 And while they spake these things, Jesus stood in the middle of them, and said to them, Peace to you; I am, do not ye dread.
37 But they were afraid and aghast, and guessed them to see a spirit.
38 And he said to them, what be ye troubled, and thoughts come up into your hearts?
39 See ye my hands and my feet, for I myself am. Feel ye, and see you; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see that I have.
40 And when he had said this thing, he showed hands and feet to them.
41 And yet while they believed not, and wondered for joy, he said, Have ye here anything [or Have ye any-thing here] that shall be eaten?
42 And they proffered [or offered] to him a part of a fish roasted, and a honeycomb.
43 And when he had eaten before them, he took that that left [or the remnants], and gave to them;
44 and [he] said to them, These be the words that I spake to you, when I was yet with you; for it is need that all things be fulfilled, that be written in the law of Moses, and in prophets, and in psalms, of me.
45 Then he opened to them wit, that they should understand [the] scriptures.
46 And he said to them, For thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer, and rise again from death the third day;
47 and penance, and remission of sins to be preached in his name to all folks, beginning at Jerusalem.
48 And ye be witnesses of these things.
49 And I shall send the promise of my Father into you; but sit ye in the city, till ye be clothed with virtue from on high.
50 And he led them forth into Bethany, and when his hands were lifted up, he blessed them.
51 And it was done, the while he blessed them [or while he blessed them], he departed from them, and was borne into heaven.
52 And they worshipped, and went again into Jerusalem with great joy,
53 and were evermore in the temple, praising and blessing God.
JOHN
CHAPTER 1
1 In the beginning was the word, [that is, God’s son], and the word was at God, and God was the word.
2 This was in the beginning at God.
3 All things were made by him, and without him was made nothing [or nought], that thing that was made.
4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men;
5 and the light shineth in darknesses, and [the] darknesses comprehended not it.
6 A man was sent from God, to whom the name was John.
7 This man came into witnessing, that he should bear witnessing of the light, that all men should believe by him.
8 He was not that light, but that he should bear witnessing of the light.
9 There was a very light, which enlighteneth each man that cometh into this world.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11 He came into his own things, and his received him not.
12 But how many ever received him, he gave to them power to be made the sons of God, to them that believe in his name;
13 the which not of bloods, neither of the will of flesh, neither of the will of man, but be born of God.
14 And the word, [that is, God’s son], was made man [or flesh], and dwelled among us, and we have seen the glory of him, as the glory of the one begotten Son of the Father, full of grace and of truth.
15 John beareth witnessing of him, and crieth, and saith, This is he of whom I said, He that shall come after me, is made before me, for he was before me;
16 and of the plenty of him we all have taken, and grace for grace.
17 For the law was given by Moses; but grace and truth is made by Jesus Christ.
18 No man saw ever [or ever saw] God, but the one begotten Son, that is in the bosom of the Father, he hath told out.
19 And this is the witnessing of John, when Jews sent from Jerusalem priests and deacons to him, that they should ask him, Who art thou?
20 He acknowledged, and denied not, and he acknowledged, For I am not Christ.
21 And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elijah? And he said, I am not. Art thou a prophet? [or the prophet?] And he answered, Nay.
22 Therefore they said to him, Who art thou? That we give an answer to these that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
23 He said, I am a voice of a crier [or a voice of a man crying] in desert, Dress ye the way of the Lord, as Isaiah the prophet, said.
24 And they that were sent, were of the Pharisees.
25 And they asked him, and said to him, What then baptizest thou, if thou art not Christ, neither Elijah, neither a prophet?
26 John answered to them, and said, I baptize in water, but in the middle of you hath stand [or stood] one, that ye know not;
27 he it is, that shall come after me, that was made before me, of whom I am not worthy to loosen the thong of his shoe.
28 These things were done in Bethany beyond [or over] Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29 Another day John saw Jesus coming to him, and he said, Lo! the lamb of God; lo! he that doeth away the sins of the world.
30 This is he, that I said of, After me is come a man [or After me cometh a man], which was made before me; for he was rather [or former] than I.
31 And I knew him not, but that he be showed in Israel, therefore I came baptizing in water.
32 And John bare witnessing, and said, I saw the Spirit coming down as a culver from heaven, and dwelled on him.
33 And I knew him not; but he that sent me to baptize in water, said to me, On whom thou seest the Spirit coming down, and dwelling on him, this is he, that baptizeth in the Holy Ghost.
34 And I saw, and bare witnessing, that this is the Son of God.
35 Another day John stood, and two of his disciples;
36 and he beheld Jesus walking, and saith, Lo! the lamb of God.
37 And two disciples heard him speaking, and [they] followed Jesus.
38 And Jesus turned, and saw them pursuing him, and saith to them, What seek ye? And they said to him, Rabbi, that is to say, Master, where dwellest thou?
39 And he saith to them, Come ye, and see. And they came, and saw where he dwelled; and dwelt with him that day. And it was as the tenth hour.
40 And Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the twain, that heard of John, and had pursued him.
41 This found first his brother Simon, and he said to him, We have found Messiah, that is to say, Christ;
42 and he led him to Jesus. And Jesus beheld him, and said, Thou art Simon, the son of Jonah; thou shalt be called Cephas, that is to say, Peter.
43 And on the morrow he would go out into Galilee, and he found Philip; and he saith to him, Pursue thou me.
44 Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and of Peter.
45 Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, We have found Jesus, the son of Joseph, of Nazareth, whom Moses wrote in the law and the prophets.
46 And Nathanael said to him, Of Nazareth may some good thing be? Philip said to him, Come, and see.
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said of him, Lo! verily a man of Israel, in whom is no guile.
48 Nathanael said to him, Whereof hast thou known me? Jesus answered, and said to him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou were under the fig tree, I saw thee.
49 Nathanael answered to him, and said, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art king of Israel.
50 Jesus answered, and said to him, For I said to thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, thou believest; thou shalt see more than these things [or thou shalt see more things than these].
51 And he said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, ye shall see heaven opened, and the angels of God going up and coming down on man’s Son.
CHAPTER 2
1 And the third day weddings were made in the Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there.
2 And Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the weddings.
3 And when wine failed, the mother of Jesus said to him, They have not wine.
4 And Jesus saith to her, What to me and to thee, woman? mine hour came not yet.
5 His mother saith to the ministers, Whatever thing he saith to you, do ye.
6 And there were set six stone cans [or pots], after the cleansing of the Jews, holding each two or three metretes [or measures].
7 And Jesus saith to them, Fill ye the pots with water. And they filled them, up to the mouth [or unto the highest part].
8 And Jesus said to them, Draw ye now, and bear ye to the master of the feast. And they bare.
9 And when the master of the feast had tasted the water made wine, and knew not whereof it was, but the ministers knew that drew the water, the master of the feast calleth the spouse,
10 and saith to him, Each man setteth first good wine, and when men be [full]-filled, then that that is worse; but thou hast kept the good wine into this time.
11 Jesus did this the beginning of signs, in the Cana of Galilee, and showed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.
12 After these things he came down to Capernaum, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples; and they dwelled there not many days.
13 And the pask of Jews was nigh, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
14 And he found in the temple men selling oxen, and sheep, and culvers, and [money]-changers sitting.
15 And when he had made as it were a scourge of small cords, he drove out all [or cast all out] of the temple, and oxen, and sheep; and he shedded [out] the money of changers, and turned upside-down the boards.
16 And he said to them that sold culvers, Take away from hence these things, and do not ye make the house of my Father an house of merchandise.
17 And his disciples had mind, for it was written, The fervent love [or zeal] of thine house hath eaten me.
18 Therefore the Jews answered, and said to him, What token [or sign] showest thou to us, that thou doest these things?
19 Jesus answered, and said to them, Undo ye this temple, and in three days I shall raise it.
20 Therefore the Jews said to him, In forty and six years this temple was builded, and shalt thou in three days raise it?
21 But he said of the temple of his body.
22 Therefore when he was risen from death, his disciples had mind, that he said these things of his body; and they believed to the scripture, and to the word that Jesus said.
23 And when Jesus was at Jerusalem in pask, in the feast day, many believed in his name, seeing his signs that he did.
24 But Jesus trusted not himself to them, for he knew all men;
25 and for it was not need to him, that any man should bear witnessing of man, for he knew, what was in man.
