3:2 | The same cam to Iesus by nyght and sayde vnto him: Rabbi we knowe that thou arte a teacher whiche arte come from God. For no man coulde do suche miracles as thou doest except God were with him. |
3:3 | Iesus answered and sayde vnto him: Verely verely I saye vnto the: except a man be boren a newe he cannot se the kyngdom of God. |
3:4 | Nicodemus sayde vnto him: how can a man be boren when he is olde? can he enter into his moders wombe and be boren agayne? |
3:5 | Iesus answered: verely verely I saye vnto the: except that a man be boren of water and of ye sprete he cannot enter into the kyngdome of god. |
3:6 | That which is boren of the flesshe is flesshe: and that which is boren of the sprete is sprete. |
3:7 | Marvayle not that I sayd to the ye must be boren a newe. |
3:8 | The wynde bloweth where he listeth and thou hearest his sounde: but canst not tell whence he cometh and whether he goeth. So is every man that is boren of the sprete. |
3:9 | And Nicodemus answered and sayde vnto him: how can these thinges be? |
3:10 | Iesus answered and sayde vnto him: arte thou a master in Israel and knowest not these thinges? |
3:11 | Verely verely I saye vnto the we speake that we knowe and testify that we have sene: and ye receave not oure witnes. |

3:15 | that none that beleveth in him perisshe: but have eternall lyfe. |
3:16 | For God so loveth the worlde yt he hath geven his only sonne that none that beleve in him shuld perisshe: but shuld have everlastinge lyfe. |
3:17 | For God sent not his sonne into the worlde to condepne the worlde: but that the worlde through him might be saved. |
3:18 | He that beleveth on him shall not be condepned. But he that beleveth not is condempned all redy be cause he beleveth not in the name of the only sonne of God. |
3:19 | And this is the condempnacion: that light is come into the worlde and the me loved darcknes more then light because their dedes were evill. |
3:20 | For every man that evyll doeth hateth the light: nether commeth to light lest his dedes shuld be reproved. |

3:26 | And they came vnto Iohn and sayde vnto him: Rabbi he that was with the beyonde Iordan to whom thou barest witnes. Beholde the same baptyseth and all me come to him. |
3:27 | Iohn answered and sayde: a man can receave no thinge at all except it be geve him fro heaven. |

3:31 | He that commeth from an hye is above all: He that is of ye erth is of the erth and speaketh of the erth. He that cometh from heaven is above all |
3:32 | and what he hath sene and hearde: that he testifieth: but no man receaveth his testimonye. |
3:33 | How be it he that hath receaved hys testimonye hath set to his seale that God is true. |

3:3 | Iesus answered, and sayde vnto him: Verely verely I saye vnto the: Excepte a man be borne a new, he can not se the kyngdome of God. |
3:4 | Nicodemus sayde vnto him: How can a man be borne, whan he is olde? Can he entre into his mothers wombe, and be borne agayne? |
3:5 | Iesus answered: Verely verely I saye vnto the: Excepte a ma be borne of water and of the sprete, he can not come in to ye kyngdome of God. |
3:6 | That which is borne of flesh, is flesh: & that which is borne of the sprete, is sprete. |
3:7 | Maruell not, that I sayde vnto ye: Ye must be borne of new. |
3:8 | The wynde bloweth where he wyl, and thou hearest his sounde: but thou canst not tell whece he commeth, and whither he goeth. So is euery one, that is borne of the sprete. |
3:9 | Nicodemus answered, and sayde vnto him: How maye these be? |
3:10 | Iesus answered, & sayde vnto hi: Art thou a Master in Israel, & knowest not these? |
3:11 | Verely I saye vnto ye: We speake that we knowe, and testifie that we haue sene, and ye receaue not oure wytnesse. |
3:12 | Yf ye beleue not whan I tell you of earthly thinges, how shulde ye beleue, wha I speake vnto you of heauenly thinges? |
3:13 | And no man ascendeth vp in to heauen, but he that is come downe from heaue, (namely) the sonne of man which is in heauen. |
3:14 | And like as Moses lift vp the serpent in the wyldernes, euen so must the sonne of man be lift vp, |
3:15 | that who so euer beleueth in him, shulde not perish, but haue euerlastinge life. |
3:16 | For God so loued the worlde, that he gaue his onely sonne, that who so euer beleueth in hi, shulde not perishe, but haue euerlastinge life. |
3:17 | For God sent not his sonne in to ye worlde to condempne the worlde, but that the worlde might be saued by him. |
3:18 | He that beleueth on him, shal not be codemned. But he that beleueth not, is codemned allready: because he beleueth not on the name of the onely sonne of God. |
3:19 | But this is ye codempnacion, that the light is come in to the worlde, and men loued the darknesse more the ye light: for their workes were euell. |
3:20 | Whosoeuer doth euell, hateth the light, and cometh not to the light, that his dedes shulde not be reproued. |
3:21 | But he that doth the trueth, commeth to the light, that his workes maye be knowne: for they are done in God. |
3:22 | Afterwarde came Iesus & his disciples in to the lode of Iewry, and had his beynge there with them, and baptysed |
3:23 | Ihon baptysed also in Enon besyde Salem: for there was moch water there. And they came thither, and were baptysed: |
3:24 | for Iohn was not yet put in preson. |
3:25 | Then arose there a question amonge the disciples of Ihon with the Iewes aboute the purifienge, |
3:26 | and they came vnto Ihon, and sayde vnto him: Master, he yt was with the beyonde Iordan, of whom thou barest wytnesse, beholde, he baptyseth, and euery man cometh vnto him. |
3:27 | Ihon answered and sayde: A man can receaue nothinge, excepte it be geuen him from heaue. |
3:28 | Ye youreselues are my witnesses, how that I sayde, I am not Christ, but am sent before him. |
3:29 | He that hath the bryde, is the brydegrome: but the frende of the brydegrome stondeth, and herkeneth vnto him, and reioyseth greatly ouer the voyce of the brydegrome, this same ioye of myne is now fulfilled. |
3:30 | He must increace, but I must decreace. |
3:31 | He that commeth from an hye, is aboue all. He that is of the earth, is earthly, and speaketh of the earth. He that commeth fro heauen, is aboue all, |
3:32 | and testifieth what he hath sene & herde, and no man receaueth his wytnesse. |
3:33 | But he that receaueth it, hath set to his seale, that God is true. |
3:34 | For he who God hath sent, speaketh ye wordes of God: for God geueth not the sprete (vnto him) by measure. |
3:35 | The father loueth the sonne, and hath geuen him all thinges in to his hande. |
3:36 | He that beleueth on the sonne, hath euerlastinge life: he that beleueth not the sonne, shal not se the life, but ye wrath of God abydeth vpon him. |
