1In the beginnynge was the worde and the worde was with God: and the worde was God.
2The same was in the beginnynge with God.
3All thinges were made by it and with out it was made nothinge that was made.
4In it was lyfe and the lyfe was the lyght of men
5and the lyght shyneth in the darcknes but the darcknes comprehended it not.
6There was a man sent from God whose name was Iohn.
7The same cam as a witnes to beare witnes of the lyght that all men through him myght beleve.
8He was not that lyght: but to beare witnes of the lyght.
9That was a true lyght which lyghteth all men that come into the worlde.
10He was in the worlde and the worlde was made by him: and yet the worlde knewe him not.
11He cam amonge his (awne) and his awne receaved him not.
12But as meny as receaved him to them he gave power to be the sonnes of God in that they beleved on his name:
13which were borne not of bloude nor of the will of the flesshe nor yet of the will of man: but of God.
14And 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 the father which worde was full of grace and verite.
15Iohn 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.
16And of his fulnes have all we receaved even (grace) for grace.
17For the lawe was geven by Moses but grace and truthe came by Iesus Christ.
18No man hath sene God at eny tyme. The only begotte sonne which is in the bosome of the father he hath declared him.
19And this is the recorde of Iohn: When the Iewes sent Prestes and Levites from Ierusalem to axe him what arte thou?
20And he confessed and denyed not and sayde playnly: I am not Christ.
21And they axed him: what then? arte thou Helyas? And he sayde: I am not. Arte thou a Prophete? And he answered no.
22Then sayd they vnto him: what arte thou that we maye geve an answer to them that sent vs: What sayest thou of thy selfe?
23He sayde: I am the voyce of a cryar in the wyldernes make strayght the waye of the Lorde as sayde the Prophete Esaias.
24And they which were sent were of the pharises.
25And they axed him and sayde vnto him: why baptisest thou then yf thou be not Christ nor Helyas nether a Prophet?
26Iohn answered them sayinge: I baptise with water: but one is come amonge you whom ye knowe not
27he it is that cometh after me whiche was before me whose shoe latchet I am not worthy to vnlose.
28These thinges were done in Bethabara beyonde Iordan where Iohn dyd baptyse.
29The nexte daye Iohn sawe Iesus commyge vnto him and sayde: beholde the lambe of God which taketh awaye the synne of the worlde.
30This is he of whom I sayde. After me cometh a man which was before me for he was yer then I
31and I knew him not: but that he shuld be declared to Israell therfore am I come baptisynge with water.
32And Iohn bare recorde sayinge: I sawe the sprete descende from heven lyke vnto a dove and abyde apon him
33and 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.
34And I sawe and bare recorde that this is the sonne of God.
35The next daye after Iohn stode agayne and two of his disciples.
36And he behelde Iesus as he walked by and sayde: beholde the lambe of God.
37And the two disciples hearde him speake and folowed Iesus.
38And 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?
39He 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.
40One of the two which hearde Iohn speake and folowed Iesus was Andrew Simon Peters brother.
41The same founde his brother Simon fyrst and sayde vnto him: we have founde Messias which is by interpretacion annoynted:
42and 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.
43The daye folowynge Iesus wolde goo into Galile and founde Philip and sayde vnto him folowe me.
44Philip was of Bethsaida the cite of Andrew and Peter.
45And 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.
46And Nathanael sayde vnto him: can ther eny good thinge come out of Nazareth? Philip sayde to him: come and se.
47Iesus sawe Nathanael commynge to him and sayde of him. Beholde a ryght Israelite in who is no gyle.
48Nathanael sayd vnto him: where knewest thou me? Iesus answered and sayde vnto him: Before that Philip called the when thou wast vnder the fygge tree I sawe the.
49Nathanael answered and sayde vnto him: Rabbi thou arte the sonne of God thou arte the kynge of Israel.
50Iesus 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.
51And 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.
