Wycliffe's translation

From here
CAP 1
1 In the bigynnyng was the word, and the word was at God, and God was the word.
2 This was in the bigynnyng at God.
3 Alle thingis weren maad bi hym, and withouten hym was maad no thing, that thing that was maad.
4 In hym was lijf, and the lijf was the liyt of men; and the liyt schyneth in derknessis,
5 and derknessis comprehendiden not it.

  1. Looks like a text message gone wrong. Like when you have "auto complete" on without realizing it!

    But seriously, this is awesome. Thanks.

  2. I'm a Middle English (and Middle German) freak- I've got this on my pda and have read a lot of it. Beautiful stuff.
