The Life of Jesus

The Iewes therefore said to him that was made whole, It is the Sabbath day: it is not lawfull for thee to cary thy bed.

He answered them, He that made me whole, he said vnto me, Take vp thy bed, and walke.

Then asked they him, What man is that which said vnto thee, Take vp thy bed and walke?

And he that was healed, knewe not who it was: for Iesus had conueied himselfe away from the multitude that was in that place.

And after that, Iesus founde him in the Temple, and said vnto him, Beholde, thou art made whole: sinne no more, lest a worse thing come vnto thee.

The man departed and tolde the Iewes that it was Iesus, which had made him whole.

And therefore the Iewes did persecute Iesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the Sabbath day.

But Iesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I worke.

Therefore the Iewes sought the more to kill him: not onely because he had broken the Sabbath: but said also that God was his Father, and made himselfe equall with God.

Then answered Iesus, and said vnto them, Verely, verely I say vnto you, The Sonne can doe nothing of himselfe, saue that he seeth the Father doe: for whatsoeuer things he doth, the same things doeth the Sonne in like maner.

For the Father loueth the Sonne, and sheweth him all things, whatsoeuer he himselfe doeth, and he will shewe him greater workes then these, that ye should marueile.

For likewise as the Father rayseth vp the dead, and quickeneth them, so the Sonne quickeneth whom he will.

For the Father iudgeth no man, but hath committed all iudgement vnto the Sonne,

Because that all men shoulde honour the Sonne, as they honour the Father: he that honoureth not the Sonne, the same honoureth not the Father, which hath sent him.

Verely, verely I say vnto you, he that heareth my worde, and beleeueth him that sent me, hath euerlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation, but hath passed from death vnto life.

Verely, verely I say vnto you, the houre shall come, and now is, when the dead shall heare the voyce of the Sonne of God: and they that heare it, shall liue.

For as the Father hath life in himselfe, so likewise hath he giuen to the Sonne to haue life in himselfe,

And hath giuen him power also to execute iudgement, in that he is the Sonne of man.

Marueile not at this: for the houre shall come, in the which all that are in the graues, shall heare his voyce.

And they shall come foorth, that haue done good, vnto ye resurrection of life: but they that haue done euil, vnto the resurrection of condemnation.

I can doe nothing of mine owne selfe: as I heare, I iudge: and my iudgement is iust, because I seeke not mine owne will, but the will of the Father who hath sent me.

If I should beare witnesse of my selfe, my witnesse were not true.

There is another that beareth witnesse of me, and I know that the witnesse, which he beareth of me, is true.

Ye sent vnto Iohn, and he bare witnesse vnto the trueth.

But I receiue not the record of man: neuerthelesse these things I say, that ye might be saued.
