John 3:20-36

²⁰For every man that evyll doeth hateth the light: nether commeth to light lest his dedes shuld be reproved.

²¹But he that doth truth commeth to the light that his dedes might be knowen how that they are wrought in God.

²²After these thinges cam Iesus and his disciples into the Iewes londe and ther he haunted with them and baptised.

²³And Iohn also baptised in Enon besydes Salim because ther was moche water there and they came and were baptised.

²⁴For Iohn was not yet cast into preson.

²⁵And ther arose a question bitwene Iohns disciples and the Iewes about purifiynge.

²⁶And they came vnto Iohn and sayde vnto him: Rabbi he that was with the beyonde Iordan to whom thou barest witnes. Beholde the same baptyseth and all me come to him.

²⁷Iohn answered and sayde: a man can receave no thinge at all except it be geve him from heaven.

²⁸Ye youre selves are witnesses how that I sayde: I am not Christ but am sent before him.

²⁹He that hath the bryde is the brydegrome. But the frende of the brydegrome which stondeth by and heareth him reioyseth greately of the brydgromes voyce. Tis my ioye is fulfilled.

³⁰He must increace: and I muste decreace.

³¹He that commeth from an hye is above all: He that is of the erth is of the erth and speaketh of the erth. He that cometh from heaven is above all

³²and what he hath sene and hearde: that he testifieth: but no man receaveth his testimonye.

³³How be it he that hath receaved hys testimonye hath set to his seale that God is true.

³⁴For he whom God hath sent speaketh the wordes of God. For God geveth not the sprete by measure.

³⁵The father loveth the sonne and hath geven all thinges into his honde.

³⁶He that beleveth on the sonne hath everlastynge lyfe: and he that beleveth not the sonne shall not se lyfe but the wrathe of God abydeth on him.
