⁷The sijk man answerde to hym, Lord, Y haue no man, that whanne the watir is moued, to putte me `in to the cisterne; for the while Y come, anothir goith doun bifor me.

⁸Jhesus seith to hym, Rise vp, take thi bed, and go.

⁹And anoon the man was maad hool, and took vp his bed, and wente forth. And it was sabat in that dai.

¹⁰Therfor the Jewis seiden to him that was maad hool, It is sabat, it is not leueful to thee, to take awei thi bed.

¹¹He answeride to hem, He that made me hool, seide to me, Take thi bed, and go.

¹²Therfor thei axiden him, What man `is that, that seide to thee, Take vp thi bed, and go?

¹³But he that was maad hool, wiste not who it was. And Jhesus bowide awei fro the puple, that was set in the place.

¹⁴Aftirward Jhesus foond hym in the temple, and seide to hym, Lo! thou art maad hool; now nyle thou do synne, lest any worse thing bifalle to thee.
