John 7:4-23

⁴for no man doith ony thing in hiddlis, and hym silf sekith to be opyn. If thou doist these thingis, schewe thi silf to the world.

⁵For nether hise britheren bileueden in hym.

⁶Therfor Jhesus seith to hem, My tyme cam not yit, but youre tyme is euermore redi.

⁷The world may not hate you, sothely it hatith me; for Y bere witnessyng therof, that the werkis of it ben yuele.

⁸Go ye vp to this feeste dai, but Y schal not go vp to this feeste dai, for my tyme is not yit fulfillid.

⁹Whanne he hadde seid these thingis, he dwelte in Galilee.

¹⁰And aftir that hise britheren weren gon vp, thanne he yede vp to the feeste dai, not opynli, but as in priuyte.

¹¹Therfor the Jewis souyten hym in the feeste dai, and seiden, Where is he?

¹²And myche grutchyng was of hym among the puple. For summe seiden, That he is good; and othere seiden, Nai, but he disceyueth the puple;

¹³netheles no man spak opynli of hym, for drede of the Jewis.

¹⁴But whanne the myddil feeste dai cam, Jhesus wente vp in to the temple, and tauyte.

¹⁵And the Jewis wondriden, and seiden, Hou can this man lettris, sithen he hath not lerned?

¹⁶Jhesus answerde to hem, and seide, My doctryne is not myn, but his that sente me.

¹⁷If ony man wole do his wille, he schal knowe of the techyng, whethir it be of God, or Y speke of my silf.

¹⁸He that spekith of hym silf, sekith his owne glorie; but he that sekith the glorie of hym that sente hym, is sothefast, and vnriytwisnesse is not in hym.

¹⁹Whether Moises yaf not to you a lawe, and noon of you doith the lawe?

²⁰What seken ye to sle me? And the puple answerde, and seide, Thou hast a deuel; who sekith to sle thee?

²¹Jhesus answerde, and seide to hem, Y haue don o werk, and alle ye wondren.

²²Therfor Moises yaf to you circumcisioun; not for it is of Moyses, but of the fadris; and in the sabat ye circumciden a man.

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?
