2 Mary and her sister Martha. And it was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Laz3) arus was sick. The sisters therefore sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick. 4 But when Jesus heard 'it', he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of 5 God may be glorified thereby. Now

Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, (6) and Lazarus. When therefore he heard that he was sick, he abode at that time two days in the place 7) where he was. "Then after 'this' he saith to the disciples, Let us go 8 into Judæa again. The disciples say unto him, 'Rabbi', the Jews were but now seeking to stone thee; and 9 goest thou thither again? Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If a man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth 10) the light of this world. But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him. 11 These things spake he: and after 'this' he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus is fallen asleep; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep. 12) The disciples 'therefore said unto him', Lord, if he is fallen asleep, he (13) will recover!. Now Jesus had spoken of his death: but they thought that he spake of taking rest in sleep. 14) Then Jesus therefore said unto them 15 plainly, Lazarus is dead. And I am

glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him. 16) Thomas therefore, who is called 2Didymus, said unto his fellow-disciples, Let us also go, that we may die with him.

17 So when Jesus came, he found that he had been' in the tomb four 18 days already. "Now Bethany was

nigh unto Jerusalem, about fifteen fur19 longs off; and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to Iconsole them concerning their brother. 20 Martha 'therefore, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met

23

him: but Mary still sat in the house. 21) Martha therefore said unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my (22) brother had not died. And even now I know that, whatsoever thou Ishalt ask of God, God will give thee. Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother 24 shall rise again. Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. 25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth on me, though he 'die', yet 26 shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth 'on' me shall never die. 27 Believest thou this? She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I have believed that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, leven he that cometh into the world. (28 And when she had said 'this', she

went away, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is 29) 'here', and calleth thee. And she,

Iwhen she heard it, arose quickly, 30 and went unto him. (Now Jesus was not yet come into the village', but was still in the place where 31 Martha met him.) The Jews then which were with her in the house, and Iwere comforting her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her, supposing that she was going! unto the tomb 32) to weep there. Mary thereforeꞌ, when she came where Jesus was, and saw him, fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. 33 °When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the 34 spirit, and was troubled, and said, Where have ye laid him? They say 35 unto him, Lord, come and see. Jesus 36) wept. The Jews therefore said, 37 Behold how he loved him! But! some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of him that was blind, have caused that this 38 man also should not 'diel? Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay 10 against it. 39 Jesus saith', Take ye away the stone.

8 Gr. troubled himself.

Or, being moved with indignation\ in himself 10 Or, upon

Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been 40 dead four days. Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou believedst, thou shouldest see the (41 glory of God? So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee 42 that thou heardest me. And I knew that thou hearest me always but because of the multitude' which 'standeth around I said it, that they may believe that thou didst send me. 43) And when he had thus spoken, he

cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come ( forth. He that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes; and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.

45

Many therefore of the Jews, which came to Mary and 'beheld that which 46 he did, believed on him. But some of them went away to the Pharisees, and told them the things which Jesus had done.

47) The chief priests 'therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, What do we? for this man doeth 48 many signs. If we let him thus

alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation. (19 But a certain one of them, Caia

phas, being high priest that year, said unto them, Ye know nothing at all, 50 °nor do ye take account that it is expedient for 'you' that one man should die for the people, and that the whole 51 nation perish not. Now this he Isaid not of himself: but being high priest that year, he prophesied that 52) Jesus should die for the nation; and not for the nation only, but that he Imight also gather together into one the children of God that are scat53 tered abroad. ISO from that day forth they took counsel that they might put him to death.

51 Jesus therefore walked no

more

openly among the Jews, but 'departed' thence into the country near to the

wilderness, into a city called Ephra- | im; and there he tarried with thel (55) disciples. Now the passover lof the Jews was at hand: and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the passover, to purify 56) themselves. They sought 'therefore for Jesus, and spake one with another, as they stood in the temple, What think ye? That he will not (57 come to the feast? Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given commandment, that, if any man knew where he was', he should shew it, that they might take him.

12(1 Jesus therefore six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus raised from 2) the dead. So they made him a supper there and Martha served; but Lazarus was one of them that sat at *3) meat with him. Mary "therefore took a pound of ointment of 3spikenard, very precious1, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with (4) the odour of the ointment. But

Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, 5 which should betray him, saith, °Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor? 6 Now this he said, not because he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and having the bag

took away what was put therein. 7)°Jesus therefore said, Suffer! her Ito keep it against the day of my bury8) ing. For the poor ye have always with you; but me ye have not always.

9)

The common people therefore of the Jews learned that he was there: and they came, not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead. 10 But the chief priests 'took counsel that they might put Lazarus also to 11 death; because that by reason of him many of the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus.

12

On the Imorrow a great multitudel that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jeru13) salem, took the branches of the

.. us; unto a..

palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried 'out', Hosanna: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the 14 Lord, even the King of Israel. And Jesus, having found a young ass, sat 15 thereon; as it is written, °Fear not, daughter of Zion': behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt. 16 These things understood not his disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things 17 unto him. The multitude' therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb', and raised him from the dead, bare witness'. 18) For this cause also the multitude went and met him, for that they heard 19 that he had done this 'sign'. The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Behold' how ye prevail nothing: lo', the world is gone after him. 20 Now there were certain Greeks among those that went up to wor21) ship at the feast: these therefore came to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and 'asked' him, say22) ing, Sir, we would see Jesus. Philip cometh and telleth Andrew: Andrew cometh, and Philip, and they tell 23 Jesus. And Jesus answereth them,

saying, The hour is come, that the Son 24 of man should be glorified. °Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a 'grain' of wheat fall into the earth and die, it abideth by itself alone; but if it 25 die, it beareth' much fruit. He that loveth his life loseth it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep 26 it unto life eternal. If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will 'the' 27 Father honour. Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour, But for this cause came I unto this hour. 28) °Father, glorify thy name. There came therefore a voice lout of heaven, saying, I have both glorified 29 it, and will glorify it again. "The 'multitude therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it had thundered: others said, An angel hath

30 spoken to him. Jesus answered and said, This voice hath not come for 31 my sake', but for your sakes. Now is the judgement of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast 32 out. And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto 'my33 self. But this he said, signifying

by what manner of death he should 34 die. The multitude therefore answered him, We have heard out of the law that the Christ abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be lifted' up? who is this Son 35 of man? Jesus therefore said unto them, Yet a little while is the light

among you. Walk while ye have the light, that darkness overtake you not: and he that walketh in 'the' darkness knoweth not whither he 36 goeth. While ye have the light, Believe on the light, that ye may become sons of light.

These things spake Jesus, and he' departed and hid himself from them. 37 But though he had done so many

Isigns before them, yet they believed 38 not on him: that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake,

Lord, who hath believed our report?
And to whom hath the arm of the

Lord been revealed?

39 For this cause they could not believe, for that 'Isaiah' said again,

40

He hath blinded their eyes, and 'he' hardened their heart;

'Lest' they should see with their eyes, and perceive with their heart, And 'should turn1,

And I should heal them.

41 These things said Isaiah, because he saw his glory; and he spake of (42 him. "Nevertheless leven of the

rulers many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confessi, lest they should be put *43 out of the synagogue: °for they loved the glory of men more than the Iglory of God.

44 And Jesus cried and said, He that

believeth on me, believeth not on me, 45 but on him that sent me. And he that beholdeth me beholdeth him 46 that sent me. I am come a light

Or, was hidden from them 8 Or, him

I spake not from myself; but the Father which sent me, he hath given! me a commandment, what I should 50) say, and what I should speak. And I know that his commandment is life leternal: the things therefore which I speak, even as the Father 'hath said unto me, so I speak.

131

Now before the feast of the passover, Jesus 'knowing that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, 2 he loved them unto the end. And during supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him, 3 Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came forth from God, and 4) goeth unto God, °riseth from supper, and layeth' aside his garments; and he took a towel, and girded himself. 5 Then he poureth water into the bason, and began to wash the disciples' feet, and to wipe them with the towel wherewith he was girded. 6)So he cometh to Simon Peter.

He'

saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash 7 my feet? Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt understand 8 hereafter. Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me. 9 Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands 10 and my head. Jesus saith to him, He that is bathed' needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit and ye are clean, but not all. 11 °For he knew him that' should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.

1 Or, Itol the uttermost

(12

So when he had washed their feet, and taken his garments, and $isat down again, he said unto them, Know 13 ye what I have done to you? Ye call me, Master, and, Lord: and ye 14 say well; for so I am. "If I then, Ithe Lord and the Master, have washed your feet, ye also ought to 15 wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that ye also should do as I have done to you. 16 Verily, verily, I say unto you, A servant is not greater than his lord; neither one that is sent greater than 17 he that sent him. If ye know these things, 'blessed' are ye if ye do them. 18 I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth my! bread lifted' up his heel against me. 19 From henceforth' I tell you before

it come to pass', that, when it is come to pass, ye may believe that I 20 am he. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.

21

When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in 'the' spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. (22 The disciples looked one on another, (23 doubting of whom he spake. There

was at the table reclining in' Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Je24 sus loved. Simon Peter therefore

beckoneth to him, and saith unto him, Tell us who it is of whom he 25 speaketh. He leaning back, as he

was', on Jesus' breast saith unto him, 26) Lord, who is it? Jesus 'therefore answereth', He it is, for whom I shall dip the sop, 'and' give it 'him. So when he had dipped the sop, he taketh and giveth it to Judas, the 27) son of Simon Iscariot. And after the sop, then entered Satan into him. Jesus therefore saith unto him, 28 That thou doest, do quickly. Now

no man at the table knew for what (29 intent he spake this unto him. For some thought, because Judas had the 10bag, that Jesus said unto him, Buy what things we have need of for the feast; or, that he should give

? Some ancient authorities omit save, and his feet.

8 Many ancient authorities read his bread with me. 9 Or, I am 10 Or, lboxl

30 something to the poor. °He then having received the sop went out Istraightway: and it was night. 31) When therefore he was gone out,

Jesus saith', Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him; 32) and God shall glorify him in himself, and straightway shall he glorify 33 him. Little children, yet a little while

I am with you. Ye shall seek me: and as I said unto the Jews, Whither I go, ye cannot come; so now I say untol 31 you. A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another; 2leven as I have loved you, that ye 35 also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

(36

Simon Peter Isaith unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow after37 wards. Peter 'saith unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee even now? I will lay down my life for theel. 38 Jesus answereth', Wilt thou lay down thy life for 'me'? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied me thrice. 14*1 Let not your heart be troubled: 3ye

believe in God, believe also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many 1mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place 3) for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I come again, and will receive you unto myself; that where (4 I am, there ye may be also. And

whither I go, ye know the way. (5) Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; how 6 know we the way? Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto (7 the Father, but by me. If ye had known me, ye 'would have known my Father also: from henceforth ye know 8 him, and have seen him. Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the (9 Father, and it sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and 'dost thou not 'know' me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; how sayest

1 Or, Iwas!

Or, even as I loved you, that ye also may love one another

3 Or, believe in God

4 Or, labiding-places

*

(10 thou, Shew us the Father? Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I say unto you I speak not from myself: but the Father labiding in me doeth his works. 11 Believe me that I am in the Father,

and the Father in me: or else believe 12 me for the very works' sake. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go 13 unto the Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified 14) in the Son. If ye shall ask me any thing in my name, 'that will I do. 15 °If ye love me, ye will keep my com16 mandments. And I will pray the

Father, and he shall give you another "Comforter, that he may be with you (17 for ever, even the Spirit of truth: whom the world cannot receive; for! it beholdeth him not, neither knoweth him ye know him; for he 'abideth with you, and shall be in you. (18 I will not leave you 10 desolate: I 19 come unto you. Yet a little while,

and the world beholdeth' me no more; but ye 'behold' me: because I live, 11ye 20 shall live also. In that day ye shall

know that I am in my Father, and 'ye1 21 in me, and I in you. He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest 22) myself unto him. Judas (not Iscariot) saith unto him, Lord, what is Icome to pass that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the 23 world? Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my word': and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, 24 and make our abode with him. He that loveth me not keepeth not my words: and the word which 'yel hear is not mine, but the Father's who
