John 6:10-44

¹⁰Therfor Jhesus seith, Make ye hem sitte to the mete. And there was myche hey in the place. And so men saten to the mete, as `fyue thousynde in noumbre.

¹¹And Jhesus took fyue looues, and whanne he hadde do thankyngis, he departide to men that saten to the mete, and also of the fischis, as myche as thei wolden.

¹²And whanne thei weren fillid, he seide to hise disciplis, Gadir ye the relifs that ben left, that thei perischen not.

¹³And so thei gadriden, and filliden twelue cofyns of relif of the fyue barli looues and twei fischis, that lefte to hem that hadden etun.

¹⁴Therfor tho men, whanne thei hadden seyn the signe that he hadde don, seiden, For this is verili the profete, that is to come in to the world.

¹⁵And whanne Jhesus hadde knowun, that thei weren to come to take hym, and make hym kyng, he fleiy `aloone eft in to an hille.

¹⁶And whanne euentid was comun, his disciplis wenten doun to the see.

¹⁷And thei wenten vp in to a boot, and thei camen ouer the see in to Cafarnaum. And derknessis weren maad thanne, and Jhesus was not come to hem.

¹⁸And for a greet wynde blew, the see roos vp.

¹⁹Therfor whanne thei hadden rowid as fyue and twenti furlongis or thretti, thei seen Jhesus walkynge on the see, and to be neiy the boot; and thei dredden.

²⁰And he seide to hem, Y am; nyle ye drede.

²¹Therfor thei wolden take hym in to the boot, and anoon the boot was at the loond, to which thei wenten.

²²On `the tother dai the puple, that stood ouer the see, say, that ther was noon other boot there but oon, and that Jhesu entride not with hise disciplis in to the boot, but hise disciplis aloone wenten.

²³But othere bootis camen fro Tiberias bisidis the place, where thei hadden eetun breed, and diden thankyngis to God.

²⁴Therfor whanne the puple hadde seyn, that Jhesu was not there, nether hise disciplis, thei wenten vp in to bootis, and camen to Cafarnaum, sekynge Jhesu.

²⁵And whanne thei hadden foundun hym ouer the see, thei seiden to hym, Rabi, hou come thou hidur?

²⁶Jhesus answerde to hem, and seide, Treuli, treuli, Y seie to you, ye seken me, not for ye sayn the myraclis, but for ye eten of looues, and weren fillid.

²⁷Worche ye not mete that perischith, but that dwellith in to euerlastynge lijf, which mete mannys sone schal yyue to you; for God the fadir hath markid hym.

²⁸Therfor thei seiden to hym, What schulen we do, that we worche the werkis of God?

²⁹Jhesus answerde, and seide to hem, This is the werk of God, that ye bileue to hym, whom he sente.

³⁰Therfor thei seiden to hym, What tokene thanne doist thou, that we seen, and bileue to thee? what worchist thou?

³¹Oure fadris eeten manna in desert, as it is writun, He yaf to hem breed fro heuene to ete.

³²Therfor Jhesus seith to hem, Treuli, treuli, Y seie to you, Moyses yaf you not breed fro heuene, but my fadir yyueth you veri breed fro heuene;

³³for it is very breed that cometh doun fro heuene, and yyueth lijf to the world.

³⁴Therfor thei seiden to hym, Lord, euere yyue vs this breed.

³⁵And Jhesus seide to hem, Y am breed of lijf; he that cometh to me, schal not hungur; he that bileueth in me, schal neuere thirste.

³⁶But Y seid to you, that ye han seyn me, and ye bileueden not.

³⁷Al thing, that the fadir yyueth to me, schal come to me; and Y schal not caste hym out, that cometh to me.

³⁸For Y cam doun fro heuene, not that Y do my wille, but the wille of hym that sente me.

³⁹And this is the wille of the fadir that sente me, that al thing that the fadir yaf me, Y leese not of it, but ayen reise it in the laste dai.

⁴⁰And this is the wille of my fadir that sente me, that ech man that seeth the sone, and bileueth in hym, haue euerlastynge lijf; and Y schal ayen reyse hym in the laste dai.

⁴¹Therfor Jewis grutchiden of hym, for he hadde seid, Y am breed that cam doun fro heuene.

⁴²And thei seiden, Whether this is not Jhesus, the sone of Joseph, whos fadir and modir we han knowun. Hou thanne seith this, That Y cam doun fro heuene?

⁴³Therfor Jhesus answerde, and seide to hem, Nyle ye grutche togidere.

⁴⁴No man may come to me, but if the fadir that sente me, drawe hym; and Y schal ayen reise hym in the laste dai. It is writun in prophetis,
