- 1
- Then Iesus, sixe dayes before the Passouer, came to Bethanie, where Lazarus had ben dead, whom he raysed from death.
- 2
- There they made hym a supper, and Martha serued: but Lazarus was one of them that sate at the table with hym.
- 3
- Then toke Marie a pounde of oyntment of Spike narde, very costly, and annoynted Iesus feete, and wyped his feete with her heere: and the house was fylled with the odoure of the oyntment.
- 4
- Then sayde one of his disciples, euen Iudas Iscariot Simons sonne, which shoulde betraye hym.
- 5
- Why was not this oyntment solde for three hundred pence, and geuen to the poore?
- 6
- This he sayde, not that he cared for the poore: but because he was a thiefe, and had the bagge, and bare that which was geuen.
- 7
- Then sayde Iesus: Let her alone, agaynst the day of my burying hath she kept this.
- 8
- For the poore alwayes shall ye haue with you: but me haue ye not alwayes.
- 9
- Much people of the Iewes therfore had knowledge that he was there.
And they came not for Iesus sake only: but that they might se Lazarus also, who he raysed from death.
- 10
- But the hye priestes helde a councell, that they myght put Lazarus to death also,
- 11
- Because that for his sake, many of the Iewes went away, and beleued on Iesus.
- 12
- On the next day, much people that were come to ye feast, when they hearde that Iesus should come to Hierusalem,
- 13
- Toke braunches of paulme trees, and went foorth to meete hym, and cryed: Hosanna, blessed is he that in the name of the Lorde commeth, kyng of Israel.
- 14
- And Iesus got a young Asse, and sate theron, as it is written:
- 15
- Feare not daughter of Sion, beholde, thy kyng commeth, sittyng on an Asses colte.
- 16
- These thynges vnderstoode not his disciples at the first: but when Iesus was glorified, the remembred they that such thinges were written of him, & that such thynges they had done vnto hym.
- 17
- The people that was with him, when he called Lazarus out of his graue, and raysed hym from death, bare recorde.
- 18
- Therfore met hym the people also, because they hearde that he had done such a miracle.
- 19
- The pharisees therfore sayde among them selues: perceaue ye, howe ye preuayle nothyng?
Beholde, [all the whole] worlde goeth after hym.
- 20
- There were certaine Grekes among them, that came to worship at the feast:
- 21
- The same came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida, [a citie] of Galilee, and desired hym, saying: Syr, we woulde [fayne] see Iesus.
- 22
- Philip came and tolde Andrewe: And agayne, Andrewe & Philip tolde Iesus.
- 23
- And Iesus aunswered them, saying: The houre is come, that the sonne of man must be glorified.
- 24
- Ueryly, veryly, I say vnto you, except the wheate corne fall into the grounde, and dye, it abideth alone: If it dye, it bryngeth foorth much fruite.
- 25
- He that loueth his lyfe, shall destroy it: and he that hateth his lyfe in this worlde, shall kepe it vnto lyfe eternall.
- 26
- If any man minister vnto me, let hym folowe me: And where I am, there shall also my minister be.
If any man minister vnto me, hym wyll my father honour.
- 27
- Nowe is my soule troubled, and what shall I say?
Father, saue me from this houre: but therfore came I into this houre.
- 28
- Father, glorifie thy name.
Then came there a voyce from heauen [saying] I haue both glorified it, and wyll glorifie it agayne.
- 29
- The people therfore that stoode by and hearde it, sayde that it thundred: Other sayde, an Angel spake to hym.
- 30
- Iesus aunswered and sayde: This voyce came, not because of me, but for your sakes.
- 31
- Nowe is the iudgement of this worlde: Nowe shall the prince of this worlde be cast out.
- 32
- And I, yf I were lyft vp from the earth, wyll drawe all men vnto me.
- 33
- (This he sayde, signifiyng what death he shoulde dye.)
- 34
- The people aunswered him: We haue hearde out of the lawe, that Christe bydeth euer: and howe sayest thou, the sonne of man must be lyft vp?
Who is that sonne of man?
- 35
- Then Iesus sayde vnto them: Yet a litle while is the light with you.
Walke while ye haue light, lest the darknesse come on you: For he that walketh in the darke, wotteth not whither he goeth.
- 36
- Whyle ye haue lyght, beleue on the lyght, that ye may be the chyldren of the lyght.
These thynges spake Iesus, and departed, & hyd hym selfe from the.
- 37
- But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet beleued not they on hym,
- 38
- That the saying of Esaias the prophete myght be fulfylled, which he spake: Lorde, who shall beleue our saying?
And to whom is the arme of the Lorde declared?
- 39
- Therfore coulde they not beleue, because that Esaias sayth agayne:
- 40
- He hath blynded their eyes, and hardened their heart, that they shoulde not see with their eyes, & lest they should vnderstande with their hearte, & should be conuerted, and I should heale them.
- 41
- Such thynges sayde Esaias, when he sawe his glory, and spake of hym.
- 42
- Neuerthelesse, among ye chiefe rulers also, many beleued on hym: But because of the pharisees, they dyd not confesse hym, lest they should be excomunicate.
- 43
- For they loued the prayse of men, more then the prayse of God.
- 44
- Iesus cryed, and sayde: He that beleueth on me, beleueth not on me, but on hym that sent me.
- 45
- And he that seeth me, seeth hym that sent me.
- 46
- I am come a lyght into ye worlde, that whosoeuer beleueth on me, should not byde in darknesse.
- 47
- And yf any man heare my wordes, and beleue not, I iudge hym not: For I came not to iudge the worlde, but to saue the worlde.
- 48
- He that refuseth me, & receaueth not my wordes, hath one that iudgeth him: The worde that I haue spoken, the same shall iudge hym in the last day.
- 49
- For I haue not spoken of my selfe: but the father which sent me, he gaue me a commaundement what I should say, and what I shoulde speake.
- 50
- And I knowe that his commaundement is lyfe euerlastyng.
Whatsoeuer I speake therfore, euen as the father bad me, so I speake.
