[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
