John 7:23-35

²³If a man take circumcicioun in the sabat, that the lawe of Moises be not brokun, han ye indignacioun to me, for Y made al a man hool in the sabat?

²⁴Nile ye deme aftir the face, but deme ye a riytful doom.

²⁵Therfor summe of Jerusalem seiden, Whethir this is not he, whom the Jewis seken to sle?

²⁶and lo! he spekith opynli, and thei seien no thing to hym. Whether the princes knewen verili, that this is Crist?

²⁷But we knowun this man, of whennus he is; but whanne Crist schal come, no man woot of whennus he is.

²⁸Therfor Jhesus criede in the temple `techynge, and seide, Ye knowen me, and `ye knowen of whennus Y am; and Y cam not of my silf, but he is trewe that sente me, whom ye knowen not.

²⁹Y knowe hym, and if Y seie that Y knowe hym not, Y schal be lijk to you, a liere; but Y knowe hym, for of hym Y am, and he sente me.

³⁰Therfor thei souyten to take hym, and no man sette on hym hoondis, for his our cam not yit.

³¹And many of the puple bileueden in hym, and seiden, Whanne Crist schal come, whether he schal do mo tokenes, than tho that this doith?

³²Farisees herden the puple musinge of hym these thingis; and the princis and Farisees senten mynystris, to take hym.

³³Therfor Jhesus seide to hem, Yit a litil tyme Y am with you, and Y go to the fadir, that sente me.

³⁴Ye schulen seke me, and ye schulen not fynde; and where Y am, ye may not come.

³⁵Therfor the Jewis seiden to hem silf, Whidur schal this gon, for we schulen not fynde hym? whether he wole go in to the scateryng of hethene men, and wole teche the hethene?
