The Life of Jesus

Nowe many of the Samaritans of that citie beleeued in him, for the saying of the woman which testified, He hath tolde me all things that euer I did.

Then when the Samaritans were come vnto him, they besought him, that he woulde tarie with them: and he abode there two dayes.

And many moe beleeued because of his owne word.

And they said vnto the woman, Nowe we beleeue, not because of thy saying: for we haue heard him our selues, and knowe that this is in deede that Christ the Sauiour of the world.

So two dayes after he departed thence, and went into Galile.

For Iesus himselfe had testified, that a Prophet hath none honour in his owne countrey.

Then when he was come into Galile, the Galileans receiued him, which had seene all the things that he did at Hierusalem at the feast: for they went also vnto the feast.

And Iesus came againe into Cana a towne of Galile, where he had made of water, wine. And there was a certaine ruler, whose sonne was sicke at Capernaum.

When he heard that Iesus was come out of Iudea into Galile, he went vnto him, and besought him that he would goe downe, and heale his sonne: for he was euen ready to die.

Then saide Iesus vnto him, Except ye see signes and wonders, ye will not beleeue.

The ruler said vnto him, Syr, goe downe before my sonne dye.

Iesus said vnto him, Go thy way, thy sonne liueth: and the man beleeued the worde that Iesus had spoken vnto him, and went his way.

And as he was nowe going downe, his seruants met him, saying, Thy sonne liueth.

Then enquired he of them the houre when he began to amend. And they said vnto him, Yesterday the seuenth houre the feuer left him.

Then the father knew, that it was the same houre in the which Iesus had said vnto him, Thy sonne liueth. And he beleeued, and all his houshold.

This second miracle did Iesus againe, after he was come out of Iudea into Galile.

After that, there was a feast of the Iewes, and Iesus went vp to Hierusalem.

And there is at Hierusalem by the place of the sheepe, a poole called in Ebrew Bethesda, hauing fiue porches:

In the which lay a great multitude of sicke folke, of blinde, halte, and withered, wayting for the mouing of the water.

For an Angel went downe at a certaine season into the poole, and troubled the water: whosoeuer then first, after the stirring of the water, stepped in, was made whole of whatsoeuer disease he had.

And a certaine man was there, which had bene diseased eight and thirtie yeeres.

When Iesus sawe him lie, and knew that he nowe long time had bene diseased, he saide vnto him, Wilt thou be made whole?

The sicke man answered him, Sir, I haue no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the poole: but while I am comming, another steppeth downe before me.

Iesus said vnto him, Rise: take vp thy bed, and walke.

And immediatly the man was made whole, and tooke vp his bed, and walked: and the same day was the Sabbath.
