• 1 Then Iesus, sixe dayes before the Passouer, came to Bethanie, where Lazarus was, which had bene dead, whom hee raised from the dead.
• 2 There they made him a supper, and Martha serued: but Lazarus was one of them þt sate at the table with him.
• 3 Then tooke Mary a pound of ointment, of Spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Iesus, & wiped his feet with her haire: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.
• 4 Then saith one of his disciples, Iudas Iscariot, Simons sonne, which should betray him,
• 5 Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and giuen to the poore?
• 6 This he said, not that he cared for the poore: but because hee was a thiefe, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.
• 7 Then said Iesus, Let her alone, against the day of my burying hath she kept this.
• 8 For the poore alwayes yee haue with you: but me ye haue not alwayes.
• 9 Much people of the Iewes therefore knew that he was there: and they came, not for Iesus sake onely, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
• 10 ¶ But the chiefe Priests consulted, þt they might put Lazarus also to death,
• 11 Because that by reason of him many of the Iewes went away and beleeued on Iesus.
• 12 ¶ On the next day, much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Iesus was comming to Hierusalem,
• 13 Tooke branches of Palme trees, and went foorth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna, blessed is the king of Israel that cōmeth in the Name of the Lord.
• 14 And Iesus, when he had found a yong asse, sate thereon, as it is written,
• 15 Feare not, daughter of Sion, behold, thy King commeth, sitting on an asses colt.
• 16 These things vnderstood not his disciples at the first: but when Iesus was glorified, then remēbred they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things vnto him.
• 17 The people therefore that was with him, when he called Lazarus out of his graue, and raised him from the dead, bare record.
• 18 For this cause the people also met him, for that they heard that hee had done this miracle.
• 19 The Pharisees therefore saide among themselues, Perceiue ye how yee preuaile nothing? Behold, the world is gone after him.
• 20 ¶ And there were certaine Greeks among them, that came vp to worship at the feast:
• 21 The same came therefore to Philip which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Iesus.
• 22 Philip commeth and telleth Andrew: and againe Andrew and Philip told Iesus.
• 23 ¶ And Iesus answered them, saying, The houre is come, that the Sonne of man should be glorified.
• 24 Uerely, verely, I say vnto you, Except a corne of wheat fall into the ground, and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.
• 25 He that loueth his life, shall lose it: and hee that hateth his life in this world, shall keepe it vnto life eternall.
• 26 If any man serue me, let him follow me, and where I am, there shall also my seruant be: If any man serue me, him will my father honour.
• 27 Now is my soule troubled, and what shall I say? Father, saue me from this houre, but for this cause came I vnto this houre.
• 28 Father, glorifie thy Name. Then came there a voice from heauen, saying, I haue both glorified it, and wil glorifie it againe.
• 29 The people therefore that stood by, and heard it, said, that it thundered: others said, An Angel spake to him.
• 30 Iesus answered, and said, This voice came not because of mee, but for your sakes.
• 31 Now is the iudgement of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
• 32 And I, if I be lifted vp from the earth, will draw all men vnto me.
• 33 (This hee said, signifying what death he should die)
• 34 The people answered him, We haue heard out of the Law, that Christ abideth for euer: and how sayest thou, The Sonne of man must bee lift vp? Who is this Sonne of man?
• 35 Then Iesus said vnto them, Yet a little while is the light with you: walke while ye haue the light, lest darkdesse come vpon you: For he that walketh in darkenesse, knoweth not whither he goeth.
• 36 While ye haue light, beleeue in the light, that ye may bee the children of light. These things spake Iesus, and departed, and did hide himselfe from them.
• 37 ¶ But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they beleeued not on him:
• 38 That the saying of Esaias the Prophet might be fulfilled, which hee spake, Lord, who hath beleeued our report? and to whom hath the arme of the Lord beene reuealed?
• 39 Therefore they could not beleeue, because that Esaias said againe,
• 40 He hath blinded their eyes, and hardned their heart, that they should not see with their eyes, nor vnderstand with their heart, and be conuerted, and I should heale them.
• 41 These things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.
• 42 ¶ Neuerthelesse, among the chiefe rulers also, many beleeued on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confesse him, lest they should be put out of the Synagogue.
• 43 For they loued the praise of men, more then the praise of God.
• 44 ¶ Iesus cried, and said, He that beleeueth on me, beleeueth not on me, but on him that sent me.
• 45 And he that seeth me, seeth him that sent me.
• 46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoeuer beleeueth on me, should not abide in darkenesse.
• 47 And if any man heare my words, and beleeue not, I iudge him not; For I came not to iudge the world, but to saue the world.
• 48 He that reiecteth me, and receiueth not my words, hath one that iudgeth him: þe word that I haue spoken, the same shall iudge him 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 should speake.
• 50 And I know that his commandement is life euerlasting: whatsoeuer I speake therefore, euen as the Father said vnto me, so I speake.
