John 5:31-47

³¹If Y bere witnessing of my silf, my witnessyng is not trewe;

³²another is that berith witnessyng of me, and Y woot that his witnessyng is trewe, that he berith of me.

³³Ye senten to Joon, and he bar witnessyng to treuthe.

³⁴But Y take not witnessyng of man; but Y seie these thingis, that ye be saaf.

³⁵He was a lanterne brennynge and schynynge; but ye wolden glade at an our in his liyt.

³⁶But Y haue more witnessyng than Joon, for the werkis that my fadir yaf to me to perfourme hem, thilke werkis that Y do beren witnessyng of me, that the fadir sente me.

³⁷And the fadir that sente me, he bar witnessyng of me. Nether ye herden euere his vois, nether ye seien his licnesse.

³⁸And ye han not his word dwellynge in you; for ye byleuen not to hym, whom he sente.

³⁹Seke ye scripturis, in which ye gessen to haue euerlastynge lijf; and tho it ben, that beren witnessyng of me.

⁴⁰And ye wolen not come to me, that ye haue lijf.

⁴¹Y take not clerenesse of men;

⁴²but Y haue knowun you, that ye han not the loue of God in you.

⁴³Y cam in the name of my fadir, and ye token not me. If another come in his owne name, ye schulen resseyue hym.

⁴⁴Hou moun ye bileue, that resseyuen glorie ech of othere, and ye seken not the glorie `that is of God aloone?

⁴⁵Nyle ye gesse, that Y am to accuse you anentis the fadir; it is Moises that accusith you, in whom ye hopen.

⁴⁶For if ye bileueden to Moises, perauenture ye schulden bileue also to me; for he wroot of me.

⁴⁷But if ye bileuen not to hise lettris, hou schulen ye bileue to my wordis?
